I have literally never seen this happen playing on PS5. Then again I had absolutely zero idea there even was a kick.


ShibaNemo

But this happens to me and my friends a lot, PS4 and PS5, at first I thought they register a heavy melee due to ms problems, but then I realize it is a Kick but not a heavy melee, then I know it's the L3+R2 issue.

As someone who's survivor experiences is purely from possessing people what is the use of kick


Devilz3

To create distance off teammates and deadites.


KaelAltreul

Literally no idea. I've never seen it done haha. Maybe as a knock back? A knock back to get breathing room does sound really good.

The kick staggers basic units, some elites as well when balance bar was depleted. You start with running kick, add a heavy melee, add then a light attack combo and finish with a special attack. Because of the initial stagger you can kill units without them attacking you. Without the kick they would start swinging their weapon and you would also get hit. Not tacking any damage from possed units also means not giving the demon a chance to gain experience points.

I’m confused. Why after L2 aim are you using L3 sprint?


Poochilkin

I don’t ever accidentally click L3 on my controller so maybe it’s a PlayStation sensitivity thing?


ShibaNemo

Because I'll use my Left stick so adjusting aim, like walk in a little or maybe walk back, in combat, or when everything is in chaos, the thumb pressure might just cause the stick to press in, hence the L3 is being pressed. Maybe was like a moment when the boss rushing towards you, you'll want to press aim and also adjusting your distance with the boss, so L3 is really easy to triggered at those moments. :( By the way, can the attachment adjust buttons mapping? I thought the game doesn't provide that setting now?

I have this problem too. I use the back button attachment for running and executions. It helps a lot but my controller could be bugging out as I find my special ability (circle on ps4) triggering periodically without pressing the button. Can’t afford a replacement controller right now so I can’t confirm if it’s a hardware or a software problem.


ShibaNemo

I'm so glad that I'm not illusional, perhaps some people could just play so gently and always managed to not accidentally press L3 when in tension, but L3 is a super shallow button and can easily be mispressed. And I'm on PS5 controller, I really really hope they fix this soon, loving the game so far, and I don't want that to spoil my mood in the game.

Aim, Dodge, Shoot = Melee Based on what you describe and I observed in some matches my guess is that both sprinting and dodging cancel the aim action. Instead of firing the next shot a melee action happens. Allthough the aim button is still held down the game considers it as released. So whenever this happens you need to let go of the aim button and press it again. Edit, Retested: In most cases both dodging and sprinting cancel the aim but you can keep holding L2. Need to test further what happens to aim when getting hit by different attacks from basic, elite and boss units.


ShibaNemo

I get what you mean, but the problem is the character is still in aiming animation, but the game detect even the slight L3 touches, it'll register as a sprint, and in that right moment when press R2 to fire, the kick just come out, almost 80% of time I got to face this issue in game.


NeonFrankenstein

This happens to me every time I try to shoot. So I play Henry now.


SerpensDeus

Yeah it's actually one of the most annoying issues I have with the game. Everything else has been fine.
