![]() That said, they are still present, and there are several missions with guns as the main weapon. Guns: Since Sleeping Dogs is set in Hong Kong, where gun laws are quite strict, they are fairly rare. Melee weapons can also be taken off pedestrians (in the form of various bags and umbrellas), or out of the back of some cars (in the form of tire irons). All melee weapons have a limited “life”, and Wei will drop them automatically. ![]() Be careful though, as you yourself can be disarmed, putting yourself at a disadvantage. You can pick these up when you defeat the individual, or disarm them when you unlock the relevant combo. Melee weapons: When you get into fights, occasionally some of the enemies will have melee weapons usually a knife of some description. You also have a number of combos available to you, unlocked by collecting Jade Statues. The objects flash up as red, but I’ll give you an indication of what is useable in the area you are fighting in. You can also use B to grapple enemies, and then throw them into environmental objects for an insta-kill. ![]() When individual enemies flash red, press Y to counter them, and follow up with an attack. The controls are fairly simple: tap X to attack hold it to use a heavy attack. Melee: This is the main form of combat in the game. While maybe not featuring as many individual weapons as other games, there is a healthy balance between melee and gunplay, with the opportunity for making Wei more powerful through XP-unlockable bonuses. The combat is arguably one of the strongest parts of Sleeping Dogs. The time it takes to change gear to reverse, back up, shift back to drive, and move forwards is quite long, so if you find that irritating you, then try this method. Press B, the direction you want to turn on the Left Stick, and RT to turn 180 degrees very quickly. U-turns: Doing these in Sleeping Dogs is wonderfully easy. ![]() You’ll still be able to get in on the left, but you have to pull yourself over to the driver’s seat it just takes a bit longer. Getting into the car on the right: Again, sounds fairly simple, but is remarkably difficult to get used to. You will often find yourself driving into oncoming traffic, and having to quickly pull onto the other side of the road to avoid crashing. Aside from these, it’s generally fairly similar with regards to the control layout and basic mechanics.ĭriving on the left: While this sounds fairly simple, if you’ve played GTA IV for a significant amount of time, it is exceptionally difficult to get used to driving on the other side of the road. If you are familiar with other open-world games similar to Sleeping Dogs, such as Grand Theft Auto IV, there are a number of notable differences with the driving that may take a bit of time to get used to. ![]()
