Counter Counter Knife - Punch Stab

Sometime in BF4 people will punch me and knife me giving me no opportunity to counter knife, even if the F key is prompting to press. How do I do this when I knife people so that they cannot counter?

For reference - Here's a Video of what I mean. When you're actually in the game though, you can mash F to counter but it has no effect.

Best Answer

You (or your victim) only gets a chance to counter the knife attack if you try it head on (you and your victim are facing each other).

To guarantee a kill without a counter, you have to attack from an angle (from the side, from behind, etc.).

The "magic punch" in the video happens because the opportunity to counter was missed, and not due to a specific button combination.

Re: Can you counter a counter knife? As far as I know, you can counter a counter-knife attack but it is a really precise action in a very short time window. The animation should be a "punch" after a prompted counter-knife animation.

The counter is triggered by pressing X on Xbox, E on PC or Square on PlayStation.
