grapple melee not working

[sidefect]

what am i doing wrong?

[fishball]

It's working fine for me

[sidefect]

you can do ability when enemy is in a dazed/stunned state while knife icon is displayed correct?
im on mission 2 cant get it to work

[Hot_Jupiter]

It only works when you stun from farther away. If you're too close, it'll do a regular melee move.

[Torbulous]

Not the knife icon. It works just like a stick + kick only you can do it at a range. basically, shoot enemy's face until they are stunned and they show the button prompt. If you're close to them, you'll simply kick them down. If you're far, Ada will grapple to them, then kick them down. Some bosses might have unique prompts that do use the knife button though.

still not working for me

[Hot_Jupiter]

Are you pressing the right button? It's the same as the melee kick button. Just do it from farther away.

[Torbulous]

Does normal melee work? If you stagger an enemy at close range, do you get the melee prompt? Are you sure you're pressing the right button and are far away enough to grapple? It probably won't work if you're too far though. I'd say it should work at about 10 feet or 3 meters away.

yes knife works
i checking bindings even tried swapping buttons to make sure
ive tried from a few distances
never got it to work one time
first mission when it was introduced it did not work
been frustrating me

[Torbulous]

It's seperate from the knife button. Are you on Mouse and keyboard, or controller? I'll launch the game and see if I can help you find the right keybind.

keyboard was set to "F" melee was mouse button after reading comment saying its the same button as knife just being further away triggers ability
i tried with default separate bindings and with same binding as knife
6 more failed attempts
nothing will work only knife when i get close

[Torbulous]

In the keybind settings, It should be the "Melee" action. For me it's set to F on keyboard. Pretty sure that's default. Looks like it's A on controller. Are you pressing one of those buttons?

It is NOT the same as the knife button. I wonder if some keybinds are overriding each other? Not sure if that's possible. idk if you wanna do this, but I would try setting the keybinds to default (you can do that with Backspace in the menu) and see if that works then work from there.

my melee was mouse thumb button
binding for this move was just added so it was default to "F"
so i had to different binding 1 for melee another for grapple melee
wont work if it is set to separate or same binding

[sidefect]

if nothing but grapple melee is set to "F" dont see what would interfere

[Torbulous]

oh, I didn't know there was a seperate binding for "grapple melee". I see that now. I have both "melee" and "grapple melee" set to F and that works out pretty well for me. Whatever you chose, I would set both of those to the same binding as I don't see a reason it shouldn't be.

[also side note, there's another binding for normal grappling, like grappling onto ledges and stuff. For me, that was set to the same button as run which I found really annoying. I changed that to Q and that feels so much better. As for melee and grapple melee, I would put those on the same binding.]

Is it working now?
