How to do Kills on K-drive for NW challenge ?

[Am_Sha3gar 138]

Press the button to swap weapons while on the k-drive and use your secondary to blam blam kaboom enemies.

Ya I think this should appear in the feedback section telling DE it is 1 of the many things not told in the game.

[nslay 3,060]

A Grand Master asking this... it's very telling that DE messed up communicating either features in KDrive (which I didn't know about either) or the text describing the challenge.

The challenge text should be more like:

Quote

Kill 0 / 20 Enemies with your Secondary while riding a K-Drive.

Because you can't kill them any other way and have it count.

 its actually a clear case of not reading patch note. Don't remember what patch it came in, but i know it was added just after Deimos.

It was added on the same update as Deimos technically.

Remember Velocipods?

Well, I read patch notes regularly and I don't remember that... probably because I almost never use my KDrive for anything.

This is a clear case of redirecting DE's problem onto players. DE could fix this by putting hint text at the bottom "Press <hot key> to switch weapons" when you mount the KDrive... something you would expect from good UI design. But no, please blame us some more.

its been in the game since deimos came around

[vomder 1,588]

And it should have been in the introduction of K-Drives, along with using powers.

Wouldn’t hurt to notify players through some in game tip, still.

[Aazhyd 391]

Switching to your seconday on PC is default F.

[Zionblade 14]

MR30 and I didn't know you could swap weapons.

That existed long before weapon usage on k-drives. Power usage isn't a thing with k-drives either.

I mean there are players who joined *after* that update. Even players who would usually read update notes when they come out wouldn't check ones from months before they started playing.

Alright, I try to switch to secondary, and for a split second my secondary shows up, and disappears again. So no k-drive kill for me... tried verifying cache, didnt help...

Make sure you're hitting your keybind for "Switch Weapon," and not "Switch Gun." Presumably, someone forgot enable Switch Gun for K-drives, or there's some weird spaghetti attached to Switch Gun that makes it do the weird thing you're describing.

In a perfect world, there would only be one keybind (since the basic functionality of tap-to-switch-guns and hold-to-equip-melee is the same for both), and this wouldn't be an issue. But that's WF for you. :P

[Numerikuu 1,387]

Wait wtf? Almost MR30 and I didn't know this either.

DE really needs to rectify that because I know of a LOT of people that just think they abandoned that whole 'shoot from k-drive/velocipod' concept. GG lol.

[Azethoth 0]

I had no idea about this either, and always ignored those things, because I thought we had to slide to kill the enemies

[BeWolF86 0]

On PC press F (change weapon) to use Secundary Weapon when in K-Drive...
