Stealth. The whole point (in my view) of the takedown is a quiet, hand over mouth and stab so no one is alerted to your presence. In FC 5, it was a bit naff when the nearest person could not hear the rather obvious - THUNK- or - BWANG- noises made by bats and pipes etcOriginally Posted by HorTyS Go to original post

I just chose the "fist" in my weapons wheel - problem solved! I saved the bat and the shovel for whacking Moose, Bears and Bison while on Furious potion and Melee challenges........Originally Posted by Markaccus Go to original post
We need the machete back into the gameplay mechanic. It is iconically Far Cry.
Throwing knives are um.... ok, but not as satisfying as a good cut-throat scene with a great big razor-sharp machete. I thought Ubi might have expanded on the machete kills and made it more of a detailed cutscene (pardon the pun) with blood spraying out of the enemy's jugular.
Ubi really doesn't take advantage of the "M" rating these games always get. I can't even get excited about that saw blade launcher because I know I won't be able to pop enemy heads off with it. They are bringing a blade back to takedowns, so that's an improvement on FC5 at least, but honestly that is the only thing about this game that is better than something that was in FC5 from my perspective.
With multiplayer we usually get what is in campaign so I wish they would allow us to do a knife attack (or whichever weapon of choice we get in the games) while swimming or under water, we could do that against the shark in Far Cry 3 so for multiplayer if we could either hack n slash an opponent or at least do a takedown on them while swimming or underwater then that gives people a reason to use water more in maps especially in a playable area - I know New Dawn does not have PvP but wanted to write that for the next game so FC6 if that has PvP![]()
