Hello everyone. I was wondering if someone could explain how to shove/kick with your weapon drawn. I am currently training with Captain Bernard and every time i get close to him he pushes or kicks me away. When I press L2 when he does this nothing happens. And I’m moving around during combat and press it nothing happens ethier! Can someone please tell me how shoving/kicking works while you have your weapon drawn?

I am 99.9% sure you cannot purposely kick with a weapon drawn like you can with your fists out. Instead, when you have weapons drawn, you have a skill called “clench” (which is automatically engaged when you are fighting and get too close)…so when you get too close an animation of a shove or a kick or what have you happens and distance is reset. To get better you need to fight more and dump points into it/just pick up the skill (increases the chances of you winning the clench). I could be wrong but from what ive played, 20+ hours, this seems to be the case
there may be combos for specific weapons, as each weapon combo you can learn by getting better with said weapon has a unique visual; so there may be one where you swing, kick and then swing again for example.
me, im using maces, so i have a combo where i poke them in the face, swing on them and then punch them with my shield; its dope. check all the weapons skills/combos; there is probably something out there
also, maces are OP in my opinion. A lot of people have helmets and maces do amazing damage against plate…and if they dont have a helmet they usually have plate arms or something. I bought a 1 handed hammer and go hammer and shield and dominate people in like 2-3 successful hits; bandits anyway
So I messed around and I figured some stuff out. I play on Xbox One so you’ll have to translate the controls accordingly.
For me: If I close in the distance gap and hit the block button (LB) if I’m even kind of close I will initiate a grapple. Once the animation of me grappling starts I repeatedly mash either stab(RB) or swing(RT). If I mash stab(RB) Henry will kind of shove them to one side and punch or elbow them in the face, if I mash swing(RT) Henry will either shove them back, kick them or shove them a little and then kick…all of the animations are random but you can control your clenches and pretty much dominate your opponent.
I was training with Cpt Bernard and got him stun locked in a corner. I just stabbed and swung enough to get him into a corner and then kept initiatng grapples and punching him and grappling and punching over and over. Grab the perk to help you win clenches easier and it seems so long as you initiate it you will win it
Hope this helps
