Death from Above feels broken

It rarely works for me, I alaways seem to miss my enemys, landig in the dirt right next to them - get slammed in the face and shot. Just WTF. It worked so fine in Far Cry 3 :/

Just make sure you have the ability unlocked. You have to be above their heads, obviously. I've done it a number of times, so just make sure you try to land on top of them.

Unfortunatly, not the same team from Far Cry 2 & 3. They moved into the Blood Dragon series. I dont think its the same Engine either, but Im not sure. Its fairly crap at everything but running away from hordes of animals as far as I can tell. Shooting is garbage, slight studdering when turning even on high end PC's, incompatability with recent drivers, teleporting mobs that respawn behind you, scripted fights you cant sneak in, ect, ect. Over all its just a piss poor game that wasnt tested at all, obviously, and was released as is in its full, unstable, broken format without any regard for the consumers.

So dont adress his actual question at all just a paragraph of solid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥... Game runs flawlessly for me and i cant get enough. It is even better than FC3. This is easily Game OF The Year.

Works fine for me. Make sure you jump properly on top and that you aren't detected. Maybe also try combining a melee attack right before you make contact. If it doesn't work and you have the proper skill I'd say it's because you weren't high enough and were seen.

It worked a couple of times for me, and has nothing to do with the hight of my jump. It just feels like the radius, which you have to hit, has been decreased. I had so much fun with this abillity in FC3, but now melee stealth seems to be pretty hard, because you get detected very quickly, no matter how sneaky you play.
I had so freaking much fun taking out an entire outpost with nothing more then my machete - but now I have to snipe all my way trough the outposts. At least most of them
