Guide: Performing Finishing Moves in Black Ops 6

Black Ops 6 offers innovative techniques for defeating your adversaries, such as executing smooth finishing moves that include unique animations. Here is a guide on how to successfully perform these moves.

The Call of Duty franchise has a well-established reputation for being a competitive game, and this continues with the latest addition of Black Ops 6. With an early access beta available, players are able to get a glimpse of what is in store for the future of the series, as well as test out the new multiplayer features, such as the ability to communicate with body shields.

Undoubtedly, there is no greater source of embarrassment in Call of Duty than executing a finishing move on an unsuspecting opponent. Fortunately, here is a step-by-step guide on how to do just that.

Black Ops 6: How to Perform a Finishing Move

To execute a finishing move, you must first position yourself behind an enemy. Once you are in position, press and hold the melee button (V for PC, R3 or RS on controller for default, and B or Circle on tactical) to trigger the finishing move animation, which will result in a cinematic takedown of the enemy.

It is important to acknowledge that this task is not as simple as it sounds, as enemies are able to hear you approaching from behind and may consistently check their surroundings for anyone trying to ambush them. Therefore, it is wise to move quietly and cautiously by crouching or walking slowly in order to avoid making noise.

You’ll need to sneak up on an unsuspecting enemy if you want to perform a finishing move.

It is important to keep in mind that using Finishing Moves makes you vulnerable during the animation. Therefore, it is best to make sure that you are alone or away from the battle when attempting to use one.

Likewise, you have the choice to use the enemy as a human shield while approaching them from behind, which could be a more advantageous decision in the midst of a battle. It also allows for the opportunity to communicate with them, resulting in some comical exchanges.
