How to get it
Jake's starting weapon: his fists are equipped like any other weapon.
Verdict
The best way to save ammo in the game: use it as your main weapon against lone J'avo.
Exclusive
Jake only.
- Aim + attack: a 2-hit combo plus an elbow that costs no combat gauge.
- Hold attack to lock on (a red icon fills), release to charge in with a palm strike; keep pressing for more hits (those do cost gauge). You can dodge mid-combo and carry on.
- Against a downed enemy the charge becomes a backflip kick.
- Its Quick Shot is an open-palm uppercut. Clicking the right stick switches targets.
- At the start of Jake Chapter 3 Jake fights with this alone: charge the strike or use the Quick Shot.
- It scales with the Melee skill. It's not on the Weapons Master list.
- The Mercenaries: Jake (default).
