How to Grapple Shields
To remove enemy shields, players need topress the A button (Square on PlayStation) when the “Grapple Shield” prompt shows upover their heads. This action will rip away the enemies' shields, leaving them vulnerable to further attacks.
To effectively utilize this skill, players need to be in proximity to the shielded enemies. However, unlikeGrappling Melee attacks, ripping away shields does not necessitate stunning the enemies beforehand.
Disarming enemies of their shields does not render them defenseless. They will still be capable of attacking players using their other weapons. Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that after removing the shields, Ada will not lunge at the enemy as in Grappling Melee attacks. Instead, her shield removal action brieflystuns enemies for a few seconds.
