Chain Kills Achievement - HELP PLEASE

[USPATRI8]

i ADMIT IT, I suck and I'm a loser and all that... (there, I've spared you having to remind me).

I can't chain kill for the life of me. I've read guides, watched YouTube videos, tried it on "Easy Mode" blah blah blah. Still can't do it. I'm on a PC, btw, and I've slaved the "Take Down" key to my mouse (didn't work with the keyboard either). I KNOW IT'S USER ERROR :D

So, can someone explain it in excruciating detail, like you're explaining it, slowly, to a kindergartner, with no big words? Do you have to HOLD the "melee button" while you press the direction arrow? Do you HOLD the direction arrow or just tap it? I'm not using the Nimble Hands skill (thinking the auto-looting of the first guy was somehow disrupting the action). I'm sorry to bug you on something that is likely very trivial to you all, but I would greatly appreciate a slow, detailed, excruciating step-by-minute-step instruction on how to do it. THANKS!!!

Thanks, please continue your explanation. I have almost every skill there is (like, 54 out of 56 or whatever). What next? Exactly how do you perform the chain kill?

Don´t worry.. it´s easy.. but the marker is retarded (imho, for console kids)

1. find 2 targets that are within 2-3m of each other (eg. patrols )
2. Kill (F) first target and WAIT for yellow marker (I know stupid)
3. press the movement keys in direction of the marker and "F" the second target
(4.) ..if you accumulate enough enemies you can even Chainkill 3-4 enemies
(5.) ..also works when killing first target via "Death from Above"

Btw, "Swift Gambit" Perk helps a lot to bridge short distance:

At first, I made a similar mistake.. I executed enemies too fast (before marker appeared), then it didn´t count. Or another time I killed the second enemy and pressed correctly, but according to marker the target was somewhere else.. rofl
This reminds me of the crappy Aim-Helper (esp. in Contracts 2) that bugs out 50% of the time.. or .50Cal SniperRifle adjusted for 700m+ not being able to hit a target at 10m in the belly.. yeah that´s outright BS
-> Too bad the CI-devs never fix their games.. this stuff is the really annoying sh**..

Extra Info.
1. Start the chain when the intermediate distance between you and the enemies is the least. That is everyone is within your reach.
2. Chain kill can be initialized by death from above and while the enemies are moving. But you need to be exactly behind the moving targets, don't initiate it from the sides.
3. You can see a prompt, like two orange arrows. It depends upon the initiation whether a chain kill is gonna be fast and optimal. If you see the orange arrows very close together then it's gonna be the fastest, if you see two of 'em apart it is gonna be the slowest.

"Stronger Prompt" :

"Weaker Prompt" :
You can find weaker prompt inside the guide. Others are there as well.

"Warning Prompt" - In case you're late :

Sometimes the warning prompt won't appear depending on the status of the enemy.

MAJOR THANKS to all posters here. I'm not an "expert" at chainkilling (not by FAR) but I was able to get good enough to get the achievement on Kolchak Harbor. Even was able to get the "Shade" achievement by taking out Sekov and his cell-phone Beeotch in a chain kill. Got all achievements, thanks to you guys. Thank you VERY MUCH.

SPECIAL THANKS to the guy who posted (in a response to a guide posted in this thread) that IF YOU CHANGE THE MOVEMENT MAPPING ON THE KEYBOARD (say, to the direction arrows, like I did) That was the key all along (for me). YOU STILL HAVE TO USE ASWD for chain kill directional keys (A = Left, W = Up, D = Right, S = Down). A bug if you ask me, if you remap keys, the game should adjust, but it doesn't. So I had to some quick hands action to get my left hand on those keys right before I started the chain kill, but it was enough for the achievement. AND... Seeing as how this is a ***SINPER*** game, I'm going to stick to doublekill headshots at 300M, thankyouverymuch.

Thanks again guys.
