New Neck Snap CQC animation | Forums

[J-109373]

What i know is we only have CQC takedown animation using a karambit or knife. But last night i executed this neck breaker animation, is this part of the previous updates? I really like that animation, very smooth, simple and quick.

It's the prone animation for the Kabar knives, pretty sure.

Nope, I'm not in prone position, I'm sneaking behind the wolves and usually the animation takedown is slice and 3x stabs. But not that time, the takedown didn't use knives, only two hands and i never see that before.

I've noticed 2 new animations. I'm using the knife you unlock while leveling up the engineer class.
Both involved snapping the enemy's neck. One was a neck snap from behind and the other was from a prone position. Both looked really sweet and I'm trying to replicate it.

I believe these animations happen when you are hiding in the bush (or grass while prone), when the screen gets a bit darker.

I think you're right, I was in a bush when I did the non-prone takedown and I just did it again today from a bush.

The unarmed takedowns are my favourite, very fast and efficient. Could never work out what triggered them!

Yeah, they are cool. I think there are about 3 or 4 of them. Would be great if we could have an option to, for example, unequip a knife and perform these takedowns more often)

I did it lastnight too. I was running up behind a guard and I did a little jump on his back and snapped his neck! I was like wtf lol How did I do that

These animations come from the "hidden" mechanic. When you enter a bush the screen goes black around the edges. There are different animations that register in this "mode."

I've actually created a thread talking about giving players the option to equip a knife or unequip it and allow these animations to be seen more. There are a lot of hidden animations in the game that just don't go off and it is a real waste considering the time it takes to make them.
