Termination knife - Unable to use

[Blackout [PP]]

Hi,
I seem to be unable to stab the terminator with the knife. I have the knife in my hand, press LMB, but it doesn't do anything. Can anyone help? Maybe a problem with the game. If I press LMB (shoot) nothing happens. If I press MMB (mellee) then the lead pipe appears and I hit the Terminator with the pipen...

Check the options menu, maybe left click is unbound

It's a prompt when you aim at a terminator's head right behind him in crouched position. You will see it on screen.

Thx, never got the prompt. But Will try it again.

You also need the weapon equipped in one of your weapon slots, and have it out.

I know, old thread. I have not had the game long. Did you have the problem of the k-n-i-f-e (automatically) switching to the pipe? I have that bug and I cannot find a solution. And, this is actually the third variation of a bug or bugs that does not allow me to kill a Terminator by melee.

Days ago I wrote to Teyon support but have not received a reply.

EDIT Or, as noted, you did not actually have the knife in hand?

ME: Weapon in hand, everything perfect, attack, k-n-i-f-e switches to pipe, no kill, and before the attack is complete, the pipe switches back to the k-n-i-f-e.

To whoever: Yes, I did everything right to make the kill, so, I need no information, whatsoever, on how to make the kill. And, I have tried all solutions (that I know of). The last reinstall I did, which was the third one, I wiped everything, including the cloud files.

you are not supose to use atack button if i rember correctly . stealth kill propt apear when you are behind terminator and you are supose to press "use" button . but i could be wrong , didnt played game 3 years.

knife itself act as tool not as weapon

Yeah, using the knife is a bit of a design mess. First you have to figure out that it has to be equiped as a weapon unlike every other FPS with stealth kills. But then to actually use it you have to press the use button and not LMB. They should have thought that one out better.

I had the same ♥♥♥♥, you have to spam lot of times ( better if the terminator is blocked in front of a wall )

Hey, thanks guys. A hair late, but TY. I did another complete wipe/reinstall, including making the cloud files change/delete. The only thing I did different than the other complete wipe was I did not install either DLC. (BTW, this was my fourth reinstall. And, I came in here to check the thread, but I was already in the game, back to Chapter 11.)

I tried the ""use"" key, which I assume is the Interact key. Nothing. Tried again. But, the next time I realized I had a different prompt than all the other times, the... LMB

So, I used that and it worked.

I had posted in a couple of videos and even made an OP, and no one mentioned the Interact key. (In the videos no one even replied.) Originally, I was getting my left thumb button in the prompt. (I never have default binds since years ago from flying combat sims.)

So, besides the wrong button prompt:

I did have a frigging bug, though, for sure. When I would sneak up on a Terminator, the enemy alert bar would go full, but it was grayed out white, then it would immediately go away. When I would actually attack, the alert bar would immediately turn red at the point where it would normally turn red after being in the white for a short time.

- EDIT To be more precise: The full white grayed out bar would be on screen about 1 1/2 seconds. When attacking, it went to red IMMEDIATELY, even before the strike actually hit the target! It was easy to see at .10. -

(There is more, but this is already too long.)

WOW! What a mess! Before this last wipe, I had tried resetting and using everything at default. NO JOY! I guess the only thing I can suggest to people with a melee problem they cannot solve is to just keep reinstalling... if they want to go through all that bull and replaying.

Again, TY people for the replies!

NOTE: I had recorded the play (with OBS) many, many times and played it back at .10 to make sure I was seeing everything, and doing everything right.

GOOD JOB MATE

TY! Heh heh! After I made that last post, I did not even care to play anymore. But, I finished the game, again. I can say, IMO, the game is much easier when I can actually melee a Terminator here and there!

As I stated about my last post being long, and there was more. I had three variations of a bug, or three different bugs, that would not allow me to melee a Terminator. I am not a completionist. (No insult meant to others that like to do everything.) But, I decided I was going to overcome that bug or bugs.

Again, I have no real advice to do that for anyone else that may possibly have the same or a similar problem. I just kept reinstalling/validating, doing two complete wipes.

I do suggest to anyone that thinks they may have a bug to record and playback at .10 to see everything that is happening. Because when it works properly and the player is doing everything right, it is really very easy. But, if not easy, the player has to know whether it is their fault or the games fault.

Again, TY to all for the replies!
