There needs to be a way to cancel Finisher animations

Too many times, ive tried to close a door with a downed enemy near by, and instead of closing the door, I get locked into the animation resulting in my death

  • @xerosum you're response to me to pay attention to prompt regarding revive is not relevant, fully read my reply again and know how the game actually functions.  I agree with "pay attention to prompts" in regards to the doors portion. But just tapping button for revive does nothing. You have to hold it down! Therefore if you're someone who actually revives teammates (main Lifeline...) you will hold the button down when you go to revive them. So it's very easy for my scenario to occur. Not sure what your experience is or how often you revive teammates, but anyone that does on frequent basis will know this and likely performs revives the same way.

    Maybe they could increase the hold time required to trigger finisher and add a small progress ring indicator so you clearly recognize it's initiating. Maybe a 2 second charge and ring fills up on screen.

    Or... you could make sure that the prompt says revive.... what did you think I meant by “If it doesn’t say “hold **action button** to revive” then you’re gonna performed an execute.”

    That IS the prompt. Please pay attention.
  • That prompt can change with the slightest movement as you go to perform either action when enemy and teammate or right on top of each other and therefore is not a very reliable indicator in the heat of battle.

    I’ve never had an issue in those situations. I don’t see why you’d move your analogue sticks or mouse while trying to interact with a specific prompt.
  • Playing as Lifeline I try to position in a manner that the shield provides best cover, on multiple occasions I have it pick up on enemy instead of teammate when trying to initiate revive.
  • YES blueberry please get this fixed ASAP maybe a give us an option to change the finisher keybind?

    Playing Lifeline, it's a regular occurrence to rush in among a group of knocked characters and try to rev one of your team only to get locked in a finished animation with the enemy next to your squad mate.

    Suffice to say you end up getting drilled because you were relying on your rev-shield to protect you.
