Warhammer 40K Discussion

Hello everyone!

I know that this topic was discussed hundreds of times, and I read everything thoroughly, but still can't manage to make execution even once.

I play with crusader at PS4 pro, controls are standard, execution chance is max. I use no items giving chance for bleeding or poisoning, only simple melee attacks but still execution never happened, I was never able to see enemy with only 1 HP remaining. I cannot execute even hellbrutes, although it is said in the internet that they are executed automatically when the last hit is made with melee weapon.

Could anyone advise me what to do? Is it some kind of bug at PS4 which requires patch (like with Angel of Death) or am I missing something so obvious that nobody even mentioned it in topics regarding execution?

Thanks!

Upd: Checked my storage and found two items that increase execution chance by almost 10%. Nothing changed, still 0/50

On PC you have to press X to use execution after it procs. I have no clue which button does it on PS4, consult the controls section in options.

There is no "Execution" mentioned in controls on PS4, but people say it is also X. The matter is, execution never triggers, I have never seen an enemy with one HP remaining, scull icon above the enemy, sign "press X to execute" or whatever. It seems something is wrong with execution on consoles after the last update.

Yes, an Execution label appears and you can perform it by pressing X on PS4.

The Execution skill tree increases the chance, that is essential, otherwise you will very rarely get the option.

Thanks for your reply, but I do have all skills increasing the execution chance and even equipped two items having +9.4% bonus together, but still execution label NEVER appears. What should I do? Maybe it is some kind of bug? Or maybe execution is available only in certain game regimes or something?

Try to target specifically missions with World Bearer and Black Legion enemies. I think all of my executions were against their Chaos Engines, specifically "World Bearers Hellbrute" and the Chaos Engine with energy shields from Black Legion (I don't remember the name).

But I wouldn't be surprised if it simply doesn't work on PS4 :)

At the end of this video you can briefly see the Hellbrute staying at 1 HP and my character starts running towards him for an execution move, which I interrupted.

Thanks for the advice, I finally solved the mistery. The matter is, for me it works only with a single-handed melee weapon with the other hand empty. When I tried this option, I obtained the trophy in just 2 missions (25 executions for mission).

Did you equip a pistol maybe in your other hand?

I tried all options: single handed melee with pistol or shield, two handed melee, but only single melee with second hand empty worked. Anyways, I managed to solve it, but I found much more obvious bug with Uprooting Evil trophy, could you please check my respective topic?
