It has come to this. I need you, the Waypoint community to help me learn how to ninja in halo 5. I was very good at it in Reach and 4, but regretfully terrible at it in h5. I’m just not certain why I’m struggling in 5.
Example 1
I got the lunge, but didn’t do any damage.
Example 2
I made contact but my foe didn’t die.
Bonus Points
Tell me how this Spartan did this maneuver.
Please help me out. I haven’t done it successfully once.
For the third one, you hit his left shoulder, but his thruster pack was taking him backwards where he hit your right shoulder. Since the days of Halo 3, only the right shoulder has been an assassination when it wasn’t a direct back smack for some reason.

You’re doing the lords work. Thanks for the assistance!
343i need to change the beat down medal to an assassination.
tbh, every ninja in h5 needs help with this. i myself a ninja, am absolutely TERRIBLE at ninjaing in h5 (cough cough ground pound cough cough), and with melee being (slightly) buggy, its annoying to such a high level. just make sure that you:
A. lunge and not ground pound (even when going for the beat down instead of the assassination)
B. small tip that i think works if going for the assassination, most likely it will trigger the animation within a close distance and can see the legs of your victim.
C. Be persistent when you get the chance.
D. Just shoot them when it doesnt kill them for some reason. (also hold close range weapon when ninjaing as a backup plan)

I’ve assassinated a guy from the left before, it wasn’t the one i had equipped but it showed me stabbing the guy.
Been noticing a lot more failed attempts at it myself…jump and catch them in the air and for some reason I Get the assassination on THEM. Often times the airsassination too.

Oh OK that’s not me. Lol. The moment I saw the profile picture I got super confused. Anyway OP I don’t really know what to tell you. Do you have your assassinations turned off? Other than that I’d say probably just try over and over until you get it. I’ve only done it twice, once in H3 and once in H5.
Welcome to Halo 5 with no region lock. Enjoy your stay.
…And enjoy your ping.
Was going to say, that’s the kind of bs you get as an eu on USA

I was wondering if servers would have something to do with it. I’m in Ohio with decent Time Warner Internet using Google DNS servers.
