pistol-sword combo

[The Crackadalion Death <3]

can anyone explain how exactly this combo works the best? Iv'e seen some refer to it as the weapon swap combo.

But basically you can attack hella fast wth the sword and pistol. From videos i have found in researching this, they can attack hell fast, and i am unable to get anywhere near their speed.

I am also aware they are playing with the controller, while i am playing with the mouse. WOuld that make that much of a difference in timing for this combo?

If anyone knows how to do that it would be nice, cause it looks like alot of fun and it'd be pretty awesome to run through bosses with that combo

Mouse and Keyboard helps at aiming, but not at the timing. You can be as fast as them with practise.

With the shotgun fire then swap to the other gun then swap back then fire again

Yeah, I'm not sure, but it sounds like he's talking about animation cancelling? Basically, you can fire a gun with no charge time AND melee at the same time, as long as you fire the gun 'first'. The hit still registers, and the sword slash cancels the gun firing animation, so you get the damage from both together. Works with either the pistol or shotgun. I guess swapping out the shotgun and back might reset the cool-down timer on it, but I haven't actually tried that.

Try the shotgun combo. You fire the shotgun and use the mousewheel to switchback to the shotgun. It resets the reload timer and you can empty the entire clip in 1 second.
