Assassination: Difference between revisions

The '''Assassination''' is a gameplay feature  that allows player to enter a third-person view while elaborately taking an enemy player down with a [[Combat knife|Combat Knife]] an [[Energy dagger|Energy Dagger]] or an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]]. Note that assassinations are different from beat downs and pummels. Pummels are kills from a normal melee attack; a beat down occurs when Player A melees Player B by simply tapping the melee button while behind them, resulting in the breaking of the target's spine and thus an instant kill. An assassination occurs when Player A presses and holds the melee button when directly behind Player B, resulting in an elaborate kill and will earn the player a special medal. Assassinations performed in [[multiplayer]] matchmaking also count towards the [[Rear Admiral (commendation)|Rear Admiral]] commendation.
