For Project Downfall players who want to get good in combat, this guide will provide some tips and tricks of combat to help you out.
No-pill Melee Takedowns
Some quick combos you should have memorized to easily dispatch of enemies with ur hands without being under the influence
don’t forget that thrown melee weapons deal slightly more damage than thrown guns
Lights/fatties:
1.) kick + punch + punch = ded
2.) melee throw + kick = ded
3.) gun throw + kick + punch = ded
Mediums/those tall guys that you cant stun with a single kick:
1.) punch + kick + punch + punch = ded
2.) melee throw + kick = ded
3.) gun throw + kick + punch + punch = ded
Heavies:
1.) just use a gun
Mr.Woo
I see a lot of new players struggling to consistently get them Mr.Woos (dual wield), so heres a clean and ez method:
Slidetricking
For those of you trying to keep from using too many pills, start slidetricking.
To perform a slidetrick, just slide under a bullet.
Simply put, this is the most efficient way to gain a good amount of adrenaline.
A single slidetrick gains about 2 bars of adrenaline, so yeah, get used to pulling these off
The Reaper Bonus
An incredibly unique and dominant feature that is barely utilized by beginners.
To start off, ya need to have a x4 combo (minimum requirement) or higher.
After you got that done, you have full liability to kill someone and get the “juicy” combo. When an enemy is in this state, they are put on a bleedout timer and each blow mutilates their body.
The bleedout state will not be initiated if you superkick them
If youre a point hoarder, use smaller caliber weapons to maximize point gain.
But if you just want its time-stopping potential, then a kick, punch, or shot from a Howler, Precision Rifle, Lowballer, Blaster Shotgun, Popshot, or Herzog will instantly give you the reaper bonus.
Adrenaline Focus
I barely see anyone do this, so here.
Hold down space for slow-motion jump
Hold down slide for slow-motion slide
This only works if you have adrenaline stored, and pulling these off will slowly waste adrenaline
Other stuff
1.) Slide and then jump out of it to perform a slideboost
2.) Blue pills instakill bosses as well
3.) You can use enemies as cover
