Swift Strike (answered)

jimmorrison369

I'm really happy swift strike works as expected now. Does anyone know if you can get it 2 or more times in a row? And do you have to kill the walker, or can it also work when not killing it?

Edit.
Swift strike can only work 1 time per turn per survivor.
It can only work when the walker is killed

Aditional info.
It wil work on brainstab to.

I Swift Strike 2!

If you mean 2 times in a row as in on the same turn, no I don't think that can happen. But I have had it work 2 turns in a row since 2.1 was released. It made me giddy

Great question on the kill. I'm not sure on that one. Anyone else know?

Yeah it is great to see it work multiple times in one game. 45% is really 45% this time .

I think it is 2 times no to my questions, but maybe someone seen something else.

I like the change. Had 2 Scouts in a mission swift strike at the same time.

No, you need the kill to activate it. And you won't get a free attack if you killed on Overwatch

I've been using swift strike at 45% since 2.1 hit and over probably hundreds of hits , it has never activated once for me unless it was a kill shot . It is running at about the proper 40% clip after kills though. It also can work after a brain stab which I wasn't sure of before testing

MizTy

@Japes87 thx for that! I was wondering if it could work after a brain stab

There where a couple of occasions where the white circle came back under my scout when she retaliated. But there was nothing I could do with that extra action point in the walkers their turn.

Not sure if it could activate an aditional overwatch?

I agree. Saw the same thing when I was testing SS before. I think it would trigger a second overwatch but I can't say I saw it happen.

For those interested. Swift strike sometimes "activates" overwatch, when a survivor is attacked. I just found out for certain that this overwatch won't work.

Yesterday I got attacked by a walker (activating the overwatch due to swift strike), then in the freemen's turn a freeman walked by my (in overwatch) scout. My scout didn't lift a finger.

Conclusion, overwatch is only visually activated by swift-strike.

as a new player, LOVING swift strike. also love that if you can get a kill without moving, you have full action points for long range movement.
