Takedown Ability Not Working?

[BigB0iii J0nes]

The title ^ I get behind enemies crouched and camoflouge and everytime I press and even hold "F" nothing happens. I even tried without camoflouge and without crouching but it doesn't work at all. Any ideas?

You don't have to be crouched, neither camouflaged nor you have to hold on F. Takedown should appear automatically by simply looking at zombies from behind. Note that this doesn't work on special enemies such as volatiles or demolishers and etc.

It's a shame takedown and allmost all other abilities don't work on Volatiles.
I know, it's for balancing reasons and to show how evolved and terrifying Volatiles are.
But I think Takedown is actually an ability that would improve gameplay, rather than unbalance the game (I don't mind the others not working, like dropkick and such).

When you attack a Volatile, even if it's a one hit/one kill, the chase alarm is automatically started.
So it would be the player choice: risk a chase by other volatiles and evolved volatiles or simple stealth them and go forward.

Just like it happens when you kill a Bolter at night. ;)

The prompt will appear when your in the " just right " posistion, regadless of the conditions ( and even if they know your there ), doesn't matter.

I assume your getting the prompt, but no action with the F key. Have you tried smply rebinding it ?

I know this I could make a video its just like the stomp ability with "E" however when F appears and I press it nothing happens.

Weird, would you send me your save files so I can investigate it?

You have to admit, that would be sooo satisfying though.

of course! i remember when i first got the ability i tried to do it on an evolved volatile... it didnt work as planned as you can imagine, lost many survivor points too

Some how i was farming volatiles before, but i have been away from this game for years, forget how i did it
