Knee Shoot Mechanic

[MarkedMarkyMark]

Ok, idk if this has happened to other people, but it happens often enough that it HAS to be a mechanic, sometimes you'll knee shoot enemies and instead of taking a knee facing you, they'll SPIN and have their backs facing you, is there like, a specific way of shooting them that makes that happen reliably? Or is it just random chance?

I got that mostly on cultists and not villagers or soldier genado's.

Not 100% sure, but I also feel like it happened more if I shot their legs below the knee too, but this is more speculation more then hard facts. It seemed like it happened like that more.

Random chance like everything else in the game.

Like Kitt said, happens most on cultists. In the original Leon does a suplex on kneeling cultists regardless whether Leon is in front or behind them, if I remember right, in remake he only does the suplex if he's behind the kneeling cultist and kicks if in front. I think they made it so they spin around mostly so players see the suplex more often, but just a guess.

Hm, nah it happened with a villager and mercs too i'm pretty sure? I gotta find some time to test some stuff out. I also felt like i was aiming lower and even to the corner, or it might be that if you stagger them on one leg and shoot the other one to get them to bend the knee that might cause it, there's a lot of testing to do for sure.

Most enemy reactions aren't random at all, just resources mostly.
