I need some tips. How do you knife someone without being shanked back?

Every time I knife someone, I always get shanked back. How do I control that situation? If I get shanked from behind, how do I shank them back? So many questions. Thanks!

When you get knifed from behind, you can’t counter it. Avoid knifing people from the front, most of the time that results in a counter.

Is there a specific button to press in order to counter?

On console it’s usually down on the right stick. I dunno about PC

Default on pc is “F”.

Knifing from the front is pretty much a guaranteed counter. Go from the back or shoot them.

O on PS to counter

This isn’t CoD you don’t knife from the front.

Good point

It should have a prompt on your HUD. With my control scheme on PS4, it’s “O.”
