Close combat | Combat system

While you parry, time slows down, which enables you to counter-attack

Close combat is mainly based on introducing counter-attacks, because they are much stronger than the regular blows to the opponent. During the enemy's attack (the red triangle above his head) use the parrying key and introduce one of blows afterwards: regular, with the ranged weapon, disarmament or push. The more bulky and better equipped enemies can parry your attacks - you then need to disarm them before you try killing them.

Human Shield

Whenever there appears a yellow triangle above your opponent, this means that he is introducing a special attack. This may be a crushing swing, which you need to jump away from (the High Profile button + any direction) and if the enemy is drawing his firearm, hide behind any cover or, by using the Disarmament button - grab the closest enemy and use him as a human shield.

Quick kill of two enemies

Right after you counter-attack, lock on another enemy and introduce a basic attack, you can perform a series of blows that kill the next selected opponent. They can be interrupted by a slow reaction (pressing a key too late to switch to the next opponent), or by introducing a counter-attack against the next opponent.

Smoke grenade

In the heat of combat, what is irreplaceable is the smoke grenade, which allows you to eliminate quickly the successive opponents, for as long as they are suffering from the effects of the smoke.

Double kill

Whenever you notice that two opponents are attacking at the same time (red triangles) quickly press the parrying key - this will initiate an animation in which your character performs a double kill.
