Enemy "Dying" = assist and not kill?[message #251261]

Hired Razor, equipped with him with a shiny SEAL knife.

Took Drassen SAM site. Had Razor camp out on the north side of the building wall, facing the south east corner. My IMP noticed a guy creeping up the south east wall. Razor went around the corner, knifed him in the neck. Enemy drops dead with "Dying" status and bleeding all over Razor's shoes. Smile

Smile

That's the only action Razor got to take in the battle. Afterwards, checked the stats, and Razor has 0 kills, 1 assist.

So because i let the enemy bleed to death, instead of finishing him off, Razor only gets an assist and not a kill?

Yeah, the system only cares who actually killed the guy, so if he dies from bleeding, no one gets the kill.

Surprisingly, this can be fixed. However it's a very low priority feature.

I am pretty sure that an assisting merc gains experience through it. Smile

Yeah, but are there noticable differencies between experience gain when killing or only assisting?

I am asking, cause I often does not care about "dying" enemies.

This brings another question on my mind: can a dying enemy still act as a spotter for his mates? That would be a pretty important reason for killing those poor dying ones.

According to Headrock's "How Does It Work" part 7b, the assisting attacker receives half as many advancement chances as the actual killer.

And no, the "Dying" enemy cannot act as a spotter. In fact, he cannot see anything (he's unconscious, obviously). Bringing a lone enemy to a dying state, for example, is enough to break off the combat mode, even though the enemy is still visible.

Interesting. I always kill "dying" enemies because i suspected that - more experience.
And higher "kills" score looks better in the statistic screen of curse. Very Happy

If I can spare a bullet on a dying enemy, I usually go for that last "finish-him" round. Sometimes, I plain walk up to him and whack him dead.

If I have more pressing matters to attend, however (like, a dozen other enemies trying to hit me), I don't bother. Having one less kill sure beats becoming one too much.

If I'm able to do so I

1) bandage them and then beat them to death
2) throw a knife or shuriken
3) knife them
4) shoot them (only with ammo i have all galore)

Personally, my med squad finds enough work on their hands after a heated debate over any given sector, if said debate involved militia and a healthy dose of civvies. Half of the ragtag band - heck, usually more than that - usually ends up so badly shot up that they resemble one big friggin' hospital. My MED levels usually go up at least 2-3 points per one squad member.
As for maxing out STR and DEX, try going Sci-Fi and beating the Creepies (of course, after you've gotten the elixir). Now that winds you way up to 100 in no time.

Hm, I always gained STR and DEX via stealth and CQC-ing unsuspecting opponents.Every time I enter the slinkies' caves I'm more concerned about the squad survival.Although I know doing things there makes most stat points go up way faster than in ordinary circumstances.
Medicating civilians and militia is good stuff, can't say I practice that one enough.Gotta start trying it from now on.

Wish there were more ways to raise Health, WIS and AGI points though.Most of the techniques about these are quite annoying.Health was about being shot a lot and recovering+travelling with heavy loads accross the country, WIS was about remote detonator+bomb bothering and AGI needed tons of stealth duck-walking around enemies/aliens asking to be shot.

And to be back on topic(my bad for diverting from it in the first place): I personally try to finish off anyone dying when I get the chance to do it.Gaining XP class may make the mercs more expensive but it sure also makes a big difference in fights with elite enemies.The more kills, the better. Only exceptions(i.e. leaving them to bleed to death) is when I'm sniping them from a big distance and when going right to them is out of the question(for various reasons).

What happens when you bandage an enemy? What is his behaviour? And why I am unable to bandage them?

1) What happens when you bandage an enemy?
2) What is his behaviour?
3) And why I am unable to bandage them?

1) he improves from dying to critical
2) puking blood, when he is critical he pushes You away
3) he is not dying

4) bandaging was absolutely necessary in the good old times (without dropall) since you can only steal from a person who isn't dying or dead-

5) stealing from the dead is called looting

We wouldn't dream of it, lock. We all know that first you shoot them until the brink of death, then bandage them, then steal from them.

Everything I need to know I learned from JA2.

I usually kill dying enemies with a crappy merc like Dimitri or Ira just to get them the marksmanship and experience.

Before 1.13 I played an old version (1.03 I think) where hand to hand combats against cows yielded a lot of STR (and some DXT) increases, around one point every 5-10 blows for a character around 60-70. So I used used to punch them until they were critical, then bandaged them, sometime gaining a point in MEC.
A couple of days later, they would have healed and I could bash them again.

Assists count. End of. Ever wondered why sometimes a hireling goes up in experience when it's their mate just killed somebody rather than them? It's because they assisted in that kill. Likewise enemies who run off and die bleeding further away count as assists. Not worth as much as a kill but every point counts. My experience tells me you also get differnt points for type of kill and or assist (cow, civ, admin, reg, elite, cat, bug) and the number of headshots are counted too, though to what end I'm uncertain.

I have a question that touches the topic.
How about enemy's morale? Is there such thing? If yes, than killing a bleeding/dying enemies affects all other opponents. Another practical use of finishing off those bastards))
