Datasheet

You can initiate hand-to-hand kills while facing an enemy,
but the safest use of the attack is from the side or behind.
The element of surprise makes submission much easier.
You can also lean
out of cover to fire
on enemies, but
this exposes you.
hand-to-hand kIlls
In addition to
shooting them,
you can kill
enemies with your
bare hands. You
must be close
enough to an
enemy to strike,
though. When
you are within range, the button prompt for a close kill appears
onscreen. These kills are unstoppable. Once initiated, your
target is helpless as you grab their gun and turn it on them
or snap their neck with a quick twist of the skull. Hand-to-hand
kills are silent, but if you perform one in plain sight, you are
immediately detected by other enemies.
Be mindful of where you use a hand-to-hand kill. If you snap
the neck of a mercenary while he’s standing in a pool of light,
you leave obvious evidence of your presence. Enemies will be
on their toes and have an easier time spotting you.
If you hold the
hand-to-hand kill
button, you do
not immediately
kill your target.
Instead, you pull
him close and use
him as a human
shield. You have
the enemy by his neck, so he does not make any noise. You
can move around the shadows and still not be detected. The
obvious benefit of a human shield is that it absorbs bullets while
you engage the enemy. A human shield can absorb several
bullets from pistols, but gets chewed up by machine guns and
assault rifles. When a human shield is no longer useful, you
automatically discard it.
You can use only your pistol while holding a human shield.
You cannot use any gear either.
However, pulling an enemy into a human shield and then
dragging him into the shadows lets you decide where exactly
to drop the body. If you want to hide your presence, sneak
up on an enemy and then grab him while nobody is looking.
Retreat into the darkness and then press the same button
to kill him and release the body. Unless an enemy moves into
the shadows with a flashlight and discovers the body, you have
effectively hidden the evidence.
If you are moving when you kill a human shield, you throw the
body directly ahead of you. This is a good way to “toss” a body
into the shadows when you are in a hurry.
in the direction you will face when you advance. If you decide
to move, press the prompted button to advance. You stay low
and rush to the next cover spot and slam flush to it. When
moving, you can be seen or shot, unless the screen is in black-
and-white, which indicates that you are invisible.
