Why gun strike don't have invulnerability like finisher?

[Sh1ki]

I HAVE TO gun strike, I CAN'T just shoot, because game don't give me 2 different buttons.
Why I should die, cause of gun strike?

Does Gun Strike initiate if you're in ADS?

If you left click, you do it.

But if you're in ADS and Left Click, does the Gun Strike still happen?

if you ADS gunstrike will not trigger, has to be hipfire

Be ADS in close combat, no thanks.
Mine point: give invulnerability for gun strike

Gun Strike just got me killed. It feels good if you have time for it but it not having iframes sucks. You cant even shoot your gun if there is a gun strike marker.. it forces you to do it .. in the middle of getting gang banged it's incredibly poorly designed.

And right.. in heavy stance it doesnt trigger... but that will also get you killed then.

I can't agree with that. Maybe they need to make Gunstrike input to something else. Or maybe they could make the Gunstrike reward greater than just one bar of Armor.

If Gunstike had i-frames, you could theoretically spam Dodge -> Heavy Attack -> Gunstrike and never lose a bar of Armor.

Spamming never results in perfect dodges tho. Imho you need to be pretty skilled to constantly get perfect dodges and getting rewarded for that surely would be nice.

The way it is now.. it just kinda sucks. But.. I could also live with just a different input. Something needs to happen.

Because they did not think it through. You do a perfect dodge on a terminator and when you get the gun strike icon, you try to fire it, but the cinematics get you killed/stomped before it can go off. Dumb af.

Cool, so put a cooldown on triggering it. Taking damage after a perfect dodge because of the cinematic is ridiculous.

I believe that gunstrike should still be kept the way it is, but just change the dynamic of it. You know, removing the animation as it should be something super, also add it as extra action and not single lock-up action.

The moment the whole animation of it looks like it`s some sort of finisher, at the same time it is not it`s when it creates the confusion in its conception, I believe.

A lot of confusions happens in this games dynamic, nothing that would hurt the game tho.

If it had iframes you could abuse the hell out of it and never take damage.

That's not what I'm saying.

I'm saying you could perform a Dodge then hold Heavy Attack for a free Gunstrike opportunity on a Minoris. If Gunstrike had i-frames, you could theoretically loop this infinitely and never lose a single bar of Armor.

I dunno why I read that as perfect dodge spam .. my bad. Sorry.

Yeah I dunno.. thinking about it.. that also would get you killed pretty fast on dif 3-4.

Not if Gunstrike had i-frames.
