Find Challenge executions, browse weapon cinematics, or fix one that did not count.

Find an Execution

Execution Didn't Count?

Two systems

Environment vs Weapon Executions

These are not the same kill. Using the right weapon next to an object does not turn a cinematic execution into an environment execution.

Environment Execution

The environment does the killing.

Use a specific object or setup — like the cash register, campfire or telephone pole.

What Is a Context Execution?

A context execution is an environment execution triggered through a specific object, location or setup prompt.

Weapon Execution

The weapon determines the cinematic kill.

These executions belong to a weapon family such as the Pick-Axe or Kitchen Knife.

Which type

Which Type Do You Need?

If the objective names an object or place, it is an environment execution. If it names a weapon execution, stay on the weapon family.

Story Challenges

Executions Required by Story Challenges

Grouped by Story chapter, not alphabetically. Challenge wording such as Telephone Pole still points at the canonical execution name.

Which Challenge are you doing?

Not sure which Execution a Challenge needs? Pick the chapter and the Challenge you are on to see the exact execution, target and location.

Pick a chapter, then pick the Challenge you are working on.

By target

Find an Execution by Target

Find the Execution by the target it is performed on.

By area

Find Environment Executions by Area

An execution is listed on an area only when Challenge wording names that place. Sharing a chapter is not enough.

By weapon

Cinematic Executions by Weapon

40 confirmed cinematic variants across 7 weapon families plus Unarmed. Variant counts are not separate how-to guides.

Pitchfork

4 confirmed cinematic variants

Weapon-specific cinematic executions. These are not environment executions.

Problem solver

Execution Didn't Count?

Start by checking the execution type, required object or weapon, target setup and interaction prompt. If all documented conditions match and it still does not register, check the related Challenge or Achievement for current tracking notes.

  1. 1. Which system did you use? Object or environment prompt → Environment Execution. Weapon execution prompt → Weapon Execution.
  2. 2. What did the Challenge actually ask for? A cinematic weapon execution does not satisfy an environment or context execution requirement.
  3. 3. Did the correct prompt appear, and did you use it? A normal attack next to the object is not the same execution.
  4. 4. Correct execution played, Challenge still didn't count? Check target, Challenge number, required state, then current tracking notes.

What went wrong?

Prompt

Why Didn't the Execution Prompt Appear?

This is a different problem from an animation that played and still did not count.

  • Correct object?

    The prompt belongs to a specific object or setup. A nearby piece of furniture is not enough if it is the wrong one.

  • Correct target?

    Some Challenge executions name a person. The prompt may not appear if that target is not in the setup.

  • Correct chapter or state?

    Story Challenges are chapter-specific. The object may exist in more than one place without counting for that Challenge.

  • Has that object already been used?

    If the object was already used, or the target was not positioned for it, the prompt may not appear again on that object.

  • Confirmed trigger conditions

    Stalk, grab or Bloodthirst requirements are listed only after they are confirmed for that execution. They are not copied from third-party guides.

FAQ

Halloween Execution FAQ

What's the difference between an environment execution and a weapon execution?
An environment execution uses a specific object or setup — a cash register, campfire or telephone pole. A weapon execution is a cinematic kill that belongs to a weapon family such as the Pick-Axe or Kitchen Knife. They are different systems.
Why didn't my execution count for a Challenge?
First check which system the Challenge asks for. A cinematic weapon execution does not satisfy an environment or context execution requirement, and a normal attack next to the object does not replace the contextual prompt.
Why didn't the prompt appear?
Check the object, the target, the chapter or setup, and whether that object was already used. Additional trigger conditions such as Stalk or Bloodthirst are listed only when they are confirmed for that execution.
Does any weapon execution count as an environment execution?
No. A weapon cinematic kill and an environment or context execution are separate. Using the right weapon nearby is not the same as triggering the object prompt.
How many environment executions are in the database?
40 environment executions are currently confirmed in this database.
How many weapon execution variants are there?
40 cinematic variants are currently confirmed across 7 weapon families plus Unarmed. That is the current database count, not a claim that the game can never add more.
