Bo Issues - Killing Blow/excessive Swings

[JudgeZero]

From what I have seen during personal gameplay, I have noticed that whenever I knock an emeny down and go for the killing blow, the Bo will always miss. This results in them getting back up and me wasting a bunch of time.

 

I also seem to swing an extra time more then I want, when doing normal melee attacks.

 

Anyone else experiencing this or anything else?

Charge attacks often make a horizontal swing, which will often miss a downed enemy since you have very little control over how you aim your melee attacks. Two handed weapons will often do excess swings, usually because you click faster than the fire rate.

when you knock an enemy down, there is a special downed attack you can make that does lots of damage. unfortunately the prompt for said attack is buggy and unresponsive. You usually have to stand over them for about half a second, and then tap the melee key, in order to get it to execute properly.

You are 100% correct on the escess swings, it is due to my button mashing. The special  downed attack still goes, but it whif's about  1m to the side of the target :(

yep the "finish" attack always misses with the bo
