Problem with disarming Shield carriers

[Svennen]

Im having some trouble with disarming the shield guys. Im using a Xbox one controller, and in my case it's B, A, A for stunning and jumping onto the shield guys.

But sometimes, NOT always my character just does a front flip past the enemy after pressing B, and A. And this happens more often than id like. Is it something im doing wrong ? or is it a targeting problem within the game ?

The combat system in AK has a lot of issues actually, so its not entirely your fault, even tho it does not happen everytime. But yeah, AK is quite buggy, especially when you're aiming at high scores :D

What?? I never experience any combat related bug in the game except for stealth section when i stealth takedown a guy in a stair the rag doll will have seizures.

My suggestion use keyboard and mouse. Keyboard and mouse in this game is easy as hell. The buttons of Arkham knight is not quite complicated like Assassin Creed Franchise.

I think your having problems with poor pc port of this game. Some pc ported game have poor support of game controller.

Seriously i cannot imagine how people play this game in the controller?? I tried using the controller for this game and its hard as hell driving the batmobile.

Honestly this game is not buggy as hell like batman origins.

wtf is this ? This game is made for controllers... So no, i have always used a controller for all the batman games, so im not gonna suddenly change. And there has been many instances where there have been targeting issues for alot of people. It even said in the last patch notes that they had improved the targeting..

I thought i was alone in this. Most of the time I'm streaming the game to another computer so I fgured there was just a lag issue. I play the AR challenges a lot and while I'm no master I end up jumping over a person a lot more than I'd like.

Unlike Arkham City, you need to push the button sequence faster, well it works for me anyway.

Well excuse him for trying to help you out. In his defense though the Arkham games are VERY playable with the mouse and keyboard so couldn't hurt giving it a try right? (and it's not like you can't go back to the controller if you want)

This game was made for multiple inputs. Controllers are quite limiting and disadvantageous in certain situations. The slow, robotic camera movements can become a handicap during tank and predator situations. I never have problems taking down sheilds with KB, but conrtoller is frequently buggy. So I use both conroller and kb&m depending on the situation. Sometimes it's good to have the use of your other hand instead of it being handcuffed to the other, as it is with a conroller.

The arkham series is cross platform and the PC versions have always had the same full xinput support that the Xbox versions enjoyed.

I prefer KB+M too, but different strokes for different folks.

No, it isn't. The PC version has always had excellent KB+M controls. You use whichever controller scheme you like but don't pretend your preference is the only option. It's not.

So no, i have always used a controller for all the batman games, so im not gonna suddenly change.

Well why not? What's wrong with at least TRYING?
Biplanes always worked fine, why switch to monoplane?
Propellers always worked fine too, why switch to jet engines?
How about gas car engines? they work fine, why switch to electric?

Again, it's OK to use whatever control scheme you prefer, but if you are going to keep using it just because "that's what you've always done", then that's not a very good reason. At least try, to might find you like it.

And there has been many instances where there have been targeting issues for alot of people.

Thosei ssues apply regardless of what control scheme you are using.

It even said in the last patch notes that they had improved the targeting..

"improved", operative word, not "eliminated entirely"

I've never had this problem on my Xbox one controller however I think the window available to you after the cape-stun (B) is limited before you can do the jump attack (A,A), if you counter or do anything else it won't work. Either that or you're going quicker than you think?
You'll only do the redirect move if it sees the A,A so maybe it's just not registering your cape stun(B)? Are you sure the capestun is always happening before you do the A,A?

Having a move fail and turn into a dodge/redirect is not a bad thing though, your combo is not broken by them and you can just retry the move if necessary.

It's not a great move anyway imo, I tend to avoid it as it leaves you vulnerable during the animation and someone else will just pick the shield up anyway. Do a disarm and destroy (X,Y) to remove them from play or just a takedown when you get the combos up (Y,B). If you're palying as a character other than Batman... you'll have to be more creative.

still a bug in 2024, it's very frustrating. i know i'm hitting the right combo because i just finished playing arkham city 2 weeks ago and it uses the exact same button combos and never had a problem in that game so it's kind of ridiculous for it to be a problem in this game that's using basically the same engine
