Can I not assassinate?

[Scar]

did the dev still not add this in? I believe assassination isnt knocking someone out, thats tied more to stealth?

[lizardmang]

The assassination skill is poorly named. It's just stealth KOs. There is no stealth kill mechanic. If you use a mod that adds death items to NPCs, you can kill them once they're knocked out though.

Not in vanilla, but there is a mod for it. Aw, you beat me to it. I use this mod, also the one that limits executions so slaves don't die when their belongings are removed by slavers

the Dev will not add the ability to kill. this has been explained many times as to why, you can search up topics of "Kill when down" or "Coup De Grace" for further explanation's.

Because they can do it to you? I mean it would be fair I guess, shame since its a popular request

I find kill item mods to be essential to gameplay, when my all female ninja squad takes down a holy nation patrol, it's only right they have the honor of slitting the survivors throats. The HN wouldn't show them any mercy after all.

which mod do you use?

[Cuddle_Rat]

A mod called kill everybody from the nexus, https://www.nexusmods.com/kenshi/mods/195

Just be sure to remove your companion's death item, it wont kill them if you do it but if a slaver or raider does it, it will kill them.

Also good to take apart in FCS to learn how to make your own customized death item mod, it's how I learned.

do you have it on the workshop?

the problem is you would never get anywhere in the game. as you spend most your time unconscious at the beginning and middle stages of the game. so you would never get to play the game. as you would be dead after the first time.

yes I know many have added that well if you add this or this limitation.
but the player doesnt have limitation's, as shown when killing animals when they are down.
course the Dev is nice and gives you a chance to save your animals if the NPC is skinning them. but many people have complained about it as well.

Never get anywhere? why would you spend most of your time unconscious? I mean you technically will anyway while trying to build toughness and other skills

Yeah people complain about all the good features unfortunately

if make death trigger food item hungry bandit will kill the body when looted, i think could be modded into a player char- not the funnest mod on paper

And if its not a food item, at least any slaver will kill any downed squad (player included).

I used such a mod for a while and wondered why there's often dead slaves.
I dropped it as stealth is cheesy enough w.o.

[ZarahNeander]

there's a mod that fixes the slave problem: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2309368219
