Why Won't My Character Throw a Kunai After Assassination?

-

Hey folks! I’m having some trouble with my character, Naoe, not throwing a Kunai at the nearest enemy right after an assassination. I’ve got the master gear and Kunai equipped, but it just doesn’t seem to work. I’ve tried different angles and positions, but no luck. Is this a bug, or am I missing a specific button press after the assassination? Thanks for the help!

I just tested it out, and it seems you can’t use transmog on the gear if you want it to work. Really hoping they patch this bug soon!

To make it work, you need to be pretty close to your target—like within 6 meters or so—and there must be a clear line of sight to the enemy. I’m not sure if having Kunai selected as your throwable item impacts it, though. Definitely try being closer next time!

This sounds like a bug to me. When I had my gear equipped, it would throw the Kunai automatically after an assassination. Now, it just isn’t doing it anymore.

I’ve had the same issue! It worked once or twice for me, and then it just stopped. I’m wondering if it has something to do with the transmog I applied to my armor or if it’s just a glitch in the game.

Yeah, I think you’re onto something. It was working fine before I changed the look of my gear, and now it won’t throw at all.
