How to perform a finisher with the Grapnel launcher? Vanguard

[Senpai_Samurai]

I have a couple of perk points used to 'perform a finisher with the grapnel launcher', but I can't seem to do it. Playing PC and press E for execute and Q for ability. Any ideas?

Need to understand this as well.

When an enemy flashes red for an execution you can grappel him with Q and the execution happens automatically. This triggers any perk effects that are linked to it.
No need to press E.

You grapnel to the enemy and immediately perform an execution. What that perk you will see that the charge is refunded.

When E is up, the Q ability doesn't work, I've tried spamming this

So this means that the grapnel has to do the little bit of damage needed to get an enemy to E?

You just Q into an enemy that's blinking red and it'll execute, the problem is that teammates tend to either kill the enemy or grab the execute before your launcher gets you in range because there's a slight delay before you actually execute.

I haven't tested yet, but I think they're saying use grapnel when the enemy is flashing red.

It does, but you need some space between you and the enemy. It doesn't work if you stand so close that the E prompt pops up.

Just use the grappel as usual, only on a red flashing enemy.

The grapnel has a minimum range. You need to shoot an enemy into execution range or ahve it put there by a teammate, then grapnel it from a distance.

You literally just use grapnel on an enemy in execution state.

If you did it correctly your char will automatically use an execution after the grapnel with no further input required.

However it doesnt lock enemies into being executed by you until the execution actually starts so half the time you will realize that someone else just activated an execution on the target while youre still grapnel*ing towards them.

Having tested the perk, there's multiple times where after the Execution, the charge wasn't refunded.

(To do it as others have probably already said, Grapple to an executable enemy, but don't press E, it'll auto-execute, but activates slower than normal. You also have to compete with your teammates who probably all just spam execute. Which is extra annoying when playing Bulwark as he can full heal himself without a perk/teammates with a perk, if he plants his banner right before an execute. Your teammates just have to not be braindead and not be spamming execute 24/7)

Wait until they are in the finisher state and grapnel to them, job done.

Just need to activate grappel. don't hit the E. yeah you can hit the E, but that supersedes the grapple execution. just use the grapple and the execution animation will trigger and refund the charge.

Still haven't did it, but I was close and had the 'E' trigger up. Thanks for your input!

yeah you cannot Q if you are close to the target, there must be some distance before you can.
