Silent Takedown Animations

[JogD]

I've been playing for a while now in multiple playthroughs and wondering why are the non-lethal take down animation so random? is it like percent chance or something? to all my gameplay I've only seen two animations excluding the default choke of course.

One is when I have a pistol equipped V bonks the dude at the back of the head with the gun handle and the other is V just straight up bonks the dude at the back of the head with his fist.

I stumbled upon a Reddit post about this but it was 3 years ago when you can kinda control which animation will play depending on the direction you move the enemy while in a choke-hold. I have tested this and its probably true at the time but now its not working.

TL;DR non-lethal takedown animation how to do more often? gives me dopamine when it does. send help.

idk... but i think it may depend on how alert the enemy is and how long you have it in a grab. I seem to trigger a spin around and a fist to the face a lot. Though...I have gurella arms installed and it's usually after hitting an enemy with a Mind Wipe or Sonic.
