Crouching and Takedowns
Last checked · Checked against the development build
How do stealth takedowns work in Stillskin Forest?
Crouch (C, Left Ctrl, or B on controller) and hit a calm infected from behind with a melee weapon: it's a one-blow TAKEDOWN. Crouching slows you to 8 studs per second, silences your footsteps, and makes the infected see you at only 0.55× their normal range. Brutes can't be taken down.
Crouching
| Effect | Value |
|---|---|
| Speed | 8 studs/s (walk is 16) |
| Sight range against you | ×0.55 |
| Close-range sense | ×0.6 |
| Footsteps | Silent |
Sprinting stands you up. Other players see your crouch pose.
Takedowns
- Crouched, from behind, with a melee weapon.
- The target must be calm (not alerted or chasing).
- Doesn't work on a Brute.
- A takedown shows a banner and counts toward achievements.
