Assassination animation begins & lets target go?!?

The assassination begins, the camera moves to 3rd person and then…the target gets released?!?

It happens more and more often. I’ve checked my connection, made sure it’s not to do with the target being at a different elevation. It’s getting more than a little annoying.

Anyone know why this is happening?

I don’t know, but I was on the happy end of that yesterday. The guy got the lunge on me and grabbed me, but I thrusted backwards and ended up behind him, but out of ninja range. So I just shot him. It was pretty glorious, though I’m sure there was much salt on his end.

Assassinations can be a very salty affair.

I’ve seen this happen, but only in customs. Thankfully, it was already a ridiculous gamemode, so that only helped serve to make it even more nuts.

Have to say i’ve seen this only once and i lucked out as i was going to die.

I was playing a game of fiesta once and I got the drop on a guy, but it let him go for whatever reason. I guess he had already accepted his death bc he didn’t move so I tried to assassinate him again, only for the game to let him escape AGAIN. I was in complete disbelief and he realized what was going on at that point bc he filled me with bullets as I stood there shocked

Hopefully it will be fixed with the next update…

If your assassination goes into the world then it’ll reset because it’s not supposed to do that.

I’m not sure what you mean by “goes into the world”.

Through the ground or wall or whatever.

No one is talking about assassinating someone through a wall. I think you’ve got the wrong idea about what we’re talking about

No, I have the right idea. If you start the animation normally but the animation ends up going through the world because it’s a lunge or something then it’ll skip it.

Yeah. My favourite part of his argument is the term “goes into the world”.

How do I explain in cave man terms that I’m not talking about a clipping issue or ANYTHING to do with an assassination lunging through a wall, the floor, or as this person puts it “goes into the world”…

He was explaining that if the character model goes into the map (which is the “world”) then it will cancel. He didn’t know you were talking about a flat grid world with no z-axis. If you even tried to understand what he meant then you wouldn’t have looked like a big -Yoink!-.

Had this happen once in swat, had to headshot the guy because my assassination -Yoinked!- up.

Sounds like what would happen to me.
