KEY GAME MECHANICS
Disarms
The ability to perform disarms is a signature feature of Dead to Rights® II. When Jack is standing in front of an enemy, press the button to grab an enemy and perform one of many deadly disarms.
Performing a disarm equips Jack with the enemy's active weapon. Use the directional button with the disarm action to perform a variety of different disarms.
If Jack is behind an enemy and attempts to perform a disarm, he will snap the enemy's neck instead.
Warning: Bosses are immune to disarms and will knock Jack off.
Human Shield
During a gunfight, when Jack is standing near an enemy, press the button to grab an enemy and use him as a human shield. Holding a human shield depletes Jack's adrenaline. Press the button again to kill the enemy.
Wall Mode
With all the bullets that fly in Dead to Rights® II, sometimes you need to take cover. While standing near a wall or a flat surface, press the R2 button to enter Wall Mode.
Jack can shimmy left or right along the surface and even peek around corners. Press the Auto-Target button and then the Fire button to spin out from hiding and shoot the targeted enemy. Jack can also enter Wall Mode while crouched.
Shadow
Shadow is Jack's best friend and can be summoned to assist him in several ways. He can perform kills, immobilize enemies and pick up weapons for Jack.
Press the L2 button while locked onto an enemy (using the R1 button) to send Shadow to attack. Shadow's actions are linked to the adrenaline gauge.
If the gauge is full, Shadow performs an immediate kill. If the adrenaline gauge is less than full, Shadow immobilizes the enemy by biting his hands. If no enemy is targeted
