Velociraptor special attack. How do?

[FeriIuce]

So I've just tried out this fun game, and the velociraptor class really appeals to me. However, its special attack seems to be not working. As far as I know you're supposed to get close to someone, then much on their face, but no matter what I just cant seem to get it to work. I'll run up to them and try and press it, run up to them and jump into face height and press it, jump FAR up in the sky, land on their face and press it, and nothing happens. I've only managed to do it 2 times out of maybe 50.

Is this attack heavily bugged, or is there some trick to it thats not apparantly clear?

It doesn't seem very consistent or it's very hard to pull off, just make sure you jump and hold down the secondary attack button.

FeriIuce your problem with accomplishing a raptor special attack lies in the clicking of the rmb. The easiest way to successfully perform the raptor special is to jump(obviously) and hold down the rmb not click it :) oh and you need to keep your cursor on the target or you will miss. Sprinting and jumping will allow you to perform a sort of low trajectory lunge attack, or you can crouch jump and do a super jump. The standard regular jump is the hardest to perform a successful pounce, mainly because you must remain in the air for a certain duration of time before the attack can be triggered. Hope this helps you guys :)

yes, it does help, now its not 1 of 50 times, its one of 20 :cool:

kinda tricky IMO

Practice makes perfect gentlemen, I have seen plenty of players who are very excellent at the raptors... myself being among those ;) it takes a certain amount of skill, but that was intended to keep the raptors from being easy and thus become very overpowering. You will get the hang of it guys, I believe in you:cool:

Its definately buggy and not just because it requires skill. After holding the rmb it does become easier, but I've had times where I'm flying perfectly at someones face while they're standing still, and nothing have happened. My body literally hit them sqare in the face with rmb held down and I just stopped and fell down.

Its broken, devs should copy hunter from left 4 dead 2, it takes skill and is consistent.
