Knife throw Takedown STILL don't always works.

[SLITHER]

I try it again today, on multiple context, it works more consistently but don't works sometime.

Literally Alt Tab to post this comment because I air assassinate a guy and it doesn't works.

upgrade the tools and other skills removing health. add engravings for the same.

Knifes always work IF they are "strong" enough. Hold the throw button too see if health bar is fully red.
Same with assassinations. If its yellow prompt it want work.

That's not what happened here, both guards are low rank grunts and it would be strong enough to killed, it simply didn't trigger.

Never had a problem with knife assassinations. Tools are the only tree that I maxed out.

Half the time I can't assassinate normally, but with the throwing knives it works every time.

I don't use them often, but I like them because all of my buffs are for tools and afflictions.

The enemy can't be moving around. Otherwise, there is some skill and luck involved.

You need head shots.

Also, the throwing knife after an assassination works every time now.

I think this might be what the OP is talking about since they mentioned doing an Air Assassinate. So I assume they meant they air assassinated someone and the knife throw didn't trigger to assassinate another nearby enemy.

It should. It was a bit more random before last patch though.

Can confirm. There are still very rare cases where it should work, yet it doesn't.

It works most of the time now, but it doesn't works *sometime*
It should works all the time.

@SLITHER, I believe there is an option in the games settings for guaranteed stealth assassination.
I wonder if this would be useful to you ? (it may not even work with tool's but maybe worth a try if you have not already)

I don't have problem with assassination, it works fine, but the knife throw takedown perk that came with Tool master torso doesn't trigger.

I see my bad

That one triggers every time for me now after the last patch.

Hello everyone!

If I understand correctly, you are talking about issues with the "Throw Kunai At Closest Enemy" perk? If so, we can confirm that the issue should be resolved. If the perk is still sometimes not working and you are able to reproduce the issue, please report it through the bug reporter.[ubi.li]

This perks, yes.
On a rare occasion, it doesn't works.
It's also not guaranteed kill, sometime when a guard head is not in view (sitting head down with back turn to you or digging something), it still triggered, but it hit a bodyshot instead and won't kill them.

Thanks for the clarification. It would be perfect to see the newest video with reproduction steps in the bug reporter[ubi.li]submitted case, where we can clearly see that the perk does not work, so we can investigate it further. Regarding the body shot instead of the head, I believe this is intended behaviour.
