Smack Marshall enemies with the Bone Crusher to unlock its Signature Ability, Swing Away!

How to Unlock the Swing Away! Signature Ability for the Bone Crusher¶

All weapons have a Signature Ability, which will grant the weapon a special ability when its unlock conditions are met. Unlike normal weapon upgrades, you can’t buy Signature Abilities, which can include boons such as life leech, area-of-effect damage, knockback, full-auto firing mode, armor-piercing rounds, elemental damage and bonus damage over time, and so on. Once a Signature Abilities unlock conditions are met you can activate it by visiting Friendly Fire or using the armory at your HQ. Signature Abilities can also be toggled off, if you prefer.

The Bone Crusher’s Signature Ability is Swing Away!, “A lethal heavy attack sends the enemy flying into the air.”. To unlock this Signature Ability you must “Defeat 30 Marshall with regular attacks.” To perform a regular attack, just press the / .

You can just search for Marshall wandering around their territory, which encompasses all of western Santo Ileso, but using specific @TCHA Side Hustles will allow you to summon a set number of Marshall goons to your location, and when you defeat all the marked Mashall your Notoriety will be wiped, making this a simple, controllable way of farming kill. You’ll even gain bonus cash and XP for completing these Side Hustles! Lowering the difficulty and upgrading the Bone Crusher will make grinding this Signature Ability much easier.
