How does the multi-takedown work?

[Vibby]

I got it, but it never happens. In fact, the takedown promp isn't even showing up anymore unless I actually am in combat.

It should be automatic when there are 2 guys next to each other... that's how it worked in Human Revoltuion, and that's what the description says. Never tried it in Mankind Divided though..

I keep trying it -- nothing. It always takes down one person, never two. I have full charge, so it can;t be that. I honestly think something might be wrong with my game, as even the icon to takedown is missing, even though single takedown still work if I press q.

Yeah actually I tried it out once on two civilians it only took out one of them... back then I thought it didn't work for civvies and I reloaded my save because I was just messing around... seems like it's a bug? But you could check if it can be selected in the augments quick menu just to be sure...

It worked for me, and I know that isn't evidence that it isn't bugged, because I honestly only did it about once simply because I had extra points and didn't know what to buy. The only advice I could really give is....get between them? Instead of next to one or the other.

Yeah, something's wrong. It's very similar to the glitch where I sometimes can't open containers, the icon not even showing up. I'll try reloading a save.

I've gotten it to work, just like in HR, but for some reason it will only do a single takedown if either of the targets are sitting.

[Vibby]

Okay, for some baffling reason, if I shoot someone in the head the icons come back and I can do multiple takedones. However, I have to actually kill someone for the glitch to fix. And even then, it's only fixed if they become alerted. What the ♥♥♥♥ is going on?

You need to buy the "quicksilver reflex booster" augmentation.

Yes, I know -- that is not the issue. My game is glitched, as I reloaded previous saves and in every single one the takedown (single takedown included) promp does not show up unless I kill someone first.

[Trias]

Oh, I misunderstood your problem. Reminds me of a "can't shoot/use augs" bug I ran into. Only fix I found was to restart the entire program.

It seems to only work if the people you're using it on are hostile.

That's the conclusion I am coming to as well, which makes the entire aug ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pointless.

It's actually good if you're sneaking through an area where people will attack if they see you. Sometimes there will be two of them standing next to each other which you can use it on.

Do note that the takedown prompts can be a bit buggy.

Double takedown works best on two targets standing and talking right next to each other, but it will also work if one is sitting on a box, it's just way harder to find the sweet spot to get the double.

And in other instances, you're not gonna get a prompt at all, but if you try to do the takedown, it still works.
I had this issue with police exosuit. Stun it for takedown, walk up, no prompt, still try and do it and it works.

Great game, but man is it iffy at times :p

There are these two people standing next to each other, but I can't take them both down. I can take one or the other down, but not both. I've tried three seperate cases, but so far no luck. The promp hasn't showed up for any of the cases.
