I noticed the counter attack ability has been increased. I do not know much about this skill. Could someone tell me how counter attack really works.


1) If do a sucessful counter attack will it preform the next special attack lined up in your combat que or will it just do a normal shot?


2) Does counter attack only work if you are carrying a Carbine or does it have a chance to work when you're carrying a different weapon also?


Thanks in advance for any helpful answers : )

I don't have answers for you (except I'm pretty sure counterattacks are not queued), but I'm interested in hearing everyone's experiences out there regarding this. I didn't notice any counterattacks actually doing damage (this was a problem before, you'd get the counterattack message but then no little damage number over the other guy), but maybe that's changed since the patch.


Anyone?

i was under the impression that a counterattack was just not taking damage.. like a dodge.


counter doesn't have to include retaliation. merriam webster lists "nullify" as a synonym.

As of right now, counterattack is just another word for 'dodge.' Whether they will ever fix it so it actually attacks, who knows? But hey, we need all the defense we can get, so I'm happy with +105.

counterattack works nicely now


with +105 i counterattacked exactly 16 of 31 shots on me.


but you have to use a carbine, else counterattack doesn't work. tried it unarmed and with a pistol - no counterattacks
