Advanced Moves
Advanced moves are just as critical as basic moves. Mastering these will allow Sam to move
through his environment with much greater safety and precision. Many of these advanced
moves are combinations that allow Sam to attack. For information on equipping and using
weapons, refer to the Weapons, Gadgets and Items section.
Split Jump
If Sam is in a corridor that is not too wide and is relatively high, he can perform
a split jump by facing the wall and pressing the
Y
button to jump. Press
B
to
drop. This position is particularly suited to performing drop attacks on enemies.
Drop Attack
If you can get above an enemy and drop down on him, you will knock him out.
Split-Jump Shooting
Sam can equip and fire his weapon while in the split jump position. Press the
X
button to equip the selected weapon.
Rappelling
To rappel, stand near the hook point indicated in the interaction menu and select
the Rappel interaction. Sam can move up and down the rope. Press the
Y
button to kick off the wall.
Rappel Shooting
Sam can equip and use a firearm or directional microphone while rappelling.
Press the
X
button to equip the selected weapon.
Hanging Shooting
Sam can equip and fire his pistol while hanging from a pipe. With his legs down,
he will shoot forward; with his legs up, he will hang upside down and shoot
backward. Press
X
to equip the pistol while hanging from a pipe.
Inverted Neck Snap
Perform this move when holding onto a horizontal pipe or suspended from a rope
with legs up. To attack a non-player character (NPC), press the right trigger for
a lethal attack and the left trigger for a non-lethal knockout attack. Press the
B
button twice to return Sam to his feet below the pipe or rope.
