Only executions can kill in this mode. However, standard executions that are performed when you are stunned or DBNO are not the only way to put an end to your opposition. You can also get kills with explosives, close-range shotgun blasts, long-range headshots from the Longshot or Retro Lancer, and attacks with the Lancer’s new melee techniques.

Obviously, staying in or near cover puts you in a better position when you are in a state of DBNO. Depending on the weapon that an opponent is using, you may be invincible to their attacks at range and you can crawl to your nearest teammate to be revived.

While you are moving around the map, make it a habit to vault over cover. If you’re lucky, you may kick an enemy and stun them. This will give you an easy opportunity for an execution.

When an enemy is DBNO, a standard melee attack will kill the enemy faster than performing a full execution. Use this method to take an enemy out of the battle quickly, allowing you to continue moving or seek cover.
