    Overpower not working anymore.

    Been playing for 29 hours, am level 32 and all of a suddden I am unable to use the overpower skill.
    I just have a full blue bar of adrenaline when I enter combat but nothing happens when I hit F.
    (I can still assassinate with the F key)

    some info:
    I have tried getting killed, instant travel, restart game/computer. change weapons. One of the big shield guys knocked me back and that caused the adrenaline bar to go down.
    I am not sure but I think I just got the 'overpower chain throw' skill before this started.

    Please help me if you can.

    That's not a bug. Different weapons have different OP skills Switch the weapons around.

    I have been playing the game for 29 hours so I know how the overpower system is suppose to work.

    Thank you for trying to help, but this IS a bug.. and a very annoying one at that

    Hey,

    Well maybe you are right and is bugged for me. Here is how it is in-game for me

    Heavy Blade, Regular Sword, Dual Sword, All Bows, Spear, Unnarmed - blue insta kill.
    Sickle Sword, Heavy Blunt, Scepters - gold rage mode.

    Is it the same for you?

    Hi

    I did some more testing and found out that the bug is with the skill 'overpower chain throw' when I get that skill my overpower ability stops working.
    (if you want to test if your game has the same I recommend using a trainer in a new game so you don't risk anything)
    and the blue and yellow overpower mode is correct.. some weapons have blue heavy hit (not always insta-kill btw) and some weapons have the berserk mode.

    Have a nice day

    Thank you!

    This has been annoying me for the last week. Sorry i know I'm way late to the party here. I bought origin a while ago and didn't start playing until just this month (6/2021). Anyway, I have avoided getting any of the overpower add on perks bc it just doesn't do anything with my main weapon anymore. After reading this, i realized that i got this legendary sword with poison that is too awesome not to use, but the overpower just turns the screen yellow and doesn't actually "do" anything. Sure enough, the sword is a scimitar shape. I had no idea that different shaped swords behave differently like that, but now I feel less annoyed with that skill. It does still go into a rage mode with the scimitar, but I've sat there waiting for Bayek to charge the enemy a bunch of times and gotten killed instead. Thanks for the tip!!

    stick will ordinary swords (not curved) you'll have "proper" overpower. at level 55 oneshots dudes up to 57 (not the large-shielded ones, but the chain oneshots them, so OP an ordinary dude, chain to the heavy one)
