Finishing movies not cutting off selected body part????

Finishing moves will not cut off a the body part i have targeted it just stabs the guy in the the chest and kills him and i get no drop this is very frustrating and i'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong i have killed 10 security guards now targeted a armored body part and executed the finishing move and instead of cutting the body part off and getting the loot it just dose a finishing move where it stabs him in the chest and i don't get the schematic or any weapon. I killed five enemies in a row and this same thing has happened every time any help would be great!!???

That's goes by per se but, are you actually constantly hitting the targeted body part, right? You must always hit the same body part to get a mutilation kill (armored/orange only); just remember that even if you target one, you can still hit the others due to the range of some attacks.

are you using single rigged weapons like PAX?

focusin on a body part does not garantee hitting it, as spec when using singles rigged.
the problem is the swing, for example when focusing the right arm, the first swing comes from below, usualy hitting the left leg no matter what.

also hitting a certain body part only increases the chance o cutting it of.
this means 2 thing, you dont have to ocus on 1 bod part the whole fight, by chance you still can cut things of. and even when hittin 1 part the whole time you can still ♥♥♥ up the drop.

n last but not least, the finisher animations itself. each weapon has 7 finishers, 1 for each body part n one default kill. with single rigged weapons its prett eas to stagger or knock down enemys, whcih might lock them into animation > triggerin the default finisher.
give them time to stand solid :)

( i notcied this as specially for single rigged weapons but this exists for all 5 types )

maybe you turned this off, but body parts you hit are shining for a short time. just look if this was the one you want to cut off. if not, try different combo.

why can't you just hack them up after killing them?

because the body burns after death

Because Warren doesn't want to get fed; Warren wants to hunt!

I've noticed the spinning Proteus I think they are in the Nucleus, sometimes change from armoured body to unarmoured mid attack. The reason I noticed it was the body is hard to select, plus I select areas when I can before an attack begins.

The patch seems to have added a few bugs. The Black Cerberus fight second attempt I had to commit suicide because the PAX refused to shoot missiles at me, the orange bar was filled but it just stood there, attack legs run away no missiles, in the end I let him chop me up exited the game and restarted and it worked fine.

This is so awesome!!! Thanks everyone you guys rock!!!!!

I was using the P.A.X. alot and it seems to do it the most with that weapon. I really love this game and it has a halflife meets dark souls kinda feel and i'm loving it so much but getting frustrated because i'm kinda new with this type of game! I also found out something that might help you guys out is that there are quick saves and loads F5 for quick save and F8 for Load if you look at the top of the screen every so often there is an icon that shows up. I had the game crash on me and after restarting the game it loads me a few mins before the game crash so it is doing it automatic. It also took me forever to find out when you sneak up on bad guys to kick them in the back, the brackets around the targeted bad guy turn yellow letting you know you're in position. Another thing i'm having trouble with is the timing of the attacks i can't seem to get that right but all i think that dose is use less stamina? Also i found out if you beat the bosses a different way that is a lot harder you get a better ver. of the weapon the boss drops! Oh and there is a guy on youtube that does walkthroughs named BlueLizardJello and they helped out a bunch! But thanks everyone!!!! AND GAME ON!!!!
