Thrown Kunai Assassinations

[Tet]

"Throw a Kunai at the closest enemy after an Assassination"

The most frustrating "perk" I've ever had the displeasure of trying to figure out.

Let's see... There are no button prompts that actually activate it (unlike previous titles), it doesn't always activate when an enemy is in range (detected or not), and every reddit thread claiming they "figured it out" is straight up lying because it's not activating under the conditions they specify and activates under conditions they said it wouldn't do so under.

I might have to just replace the engraving at this point.

The engraving is bugged/ doesn't work most of the time. I have seen worked twice but I couldn't make it happen more on purpose whatever I did. I also some big Ubisoft Youtuber complaining it was bugged.

For me it works more often than not. There were only a couple of cases (2-3 times in my 47 hours playtime) where i thought it would trigger but it did not. The rest were obvious cases (second enemy was behind a crate etc.)

It seems to work more often if I have a tanto equipped

Enable stealth kill guaranteed doesn't "fix" it?

I think the game attempts to provide more challenge has code requesting head hit for kills.

No, this is just the perk refusing the trigger at all.

It worked reliably for me up until the point that I upgraded the armor it was attached to.
I suspect that aim assist is somehow involved in the base perk, and am going to try messing with that setting to see if it helps...

it's a known bug. go look here for a whole bunch of them and what they're doing about it

I really wish I could rely on it 100% because I hate having to dedicate a weapon slot to the tanto just to do double assassinations.

Along with not having a dedicated range weapon slot for Yasuke, it's one of my least favorite differences from previous titles.

I love it but yeah it sucks that it doesn't always work. I assumed it's either a bug or it has a built-in cooldown.
