wall finishers ffs

[scroat]

i have 17 of these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ things, but i cannot for the life of me get one to happen now. i stand near walls, block, get a couple of hits, hold down lmb, nope. i am going insane trying to get this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to happen. any tips?

[scroat]

LOL just realised it's a repeatable challenge duh. thank ♥♥♥♥ cos i have lost the ability to do them.

It still worked for me at the end of the game. It was probably my most used takedown. Something satisfying about smashin' a guy's head into the wall when he tried to jump me!! :-D

how, pls tell me how you can perform such a will finisher? He is only always doing a wall kill, but no wall finisher, I have 0/20 in the challenge because I don't know how you can do them

When you just first start beating the guy up, a prompt will appear to press a button (LMB for me, which is the default attack/punch button) and HOLD it down. Max will then go through the animation to finish them off with a wall finisher. Worked every single time for me, after I unlocked the perk for it. Unlike some moves that seem to get "missed" sometimes in the game, this one worked well for me. And, it was one of my favorites anyway.

Hawk can you tell me do the enemy need to be facing the wall, how close to it, how close does Max need to be to the wall etc, I don't really care anymore cos I got up to the task, but I am curious as to why I was doing them often and then stopped getting the prompt.

Not sure but no, you just have to be near a wall, didn't matter which way either of is were facing. Something might've gotten messed up then. Maybe verify game files...?

you need to hold the left mouse button when the enemy is close to die...
you click the left mouse short punches then near the end you hold the button for the finish

thanks. yeah this was working for me early in game, i had like 37 of them, then it just did normal finishers instead of wall finishers for some reason, no matter how close to walls i was.

I think I have that game. Might try it after Shadow of War then. Didn't know it was a funny one.

I never had to wait till the guys were close to dying. Just smack em twice then hold Attack.

One more thing I could think of.. try de-grading some of Max's attacks.. melee and wrist armor. Combat was a lot more fluid for me on the lower settings. Max got too OP.

[scroat]

i was thinking that- maybe what changed was max's skills or gear. good point.

What worked best for me was turning off the tutorial pop ups, because they don´t sync with the combat, they show up too late and confuse you.

I also unequipped Max´s knuckledusters and went to an underground scavenging location, so there was always a wall near the enemy I attacked

You just need to punch the enemies around two times and then hold LMB for a couple of seconds and Max will take care of the enemy all by himself.
