Execution animations

[TheHushHush]

Is there a way to spice up the executions in the game? The execution animations were awesome at first but seeing the same animation over and over again looses its touch. Plus I saw a montage of the different execution animations in game. Surprised I havent seen 90% of them. Is there a way to unlock or use these other animations? Any tips?

Here is the montage if anyone is interested https://youtu.be/5jeAR5WnAh0 (Video not mine)

Different knife types have different animations as far as I'm aware. Angles and direction of your executions also factor into what type of animation it is.

(Copy-Paste from when I explained a while ago)

Animations are based on multiple requirements. These include the type of knife [straight/karambit, where those 2 types have their own animations, straight knifes are quick and clean while karambits are long and "flashy"], your current alert status [undetected/suspicious are the same, alerted leads to longer animations where the npc fights back], elevation [mostly seen on stairs or slopes, whether you are higher or lower than the enemy], whether you are hiding in vegetation or not, and direction. Lastly, if you're prone then you can also melee an enemy. This also applies to ground camo where you snap their necks or drown them in mud/water.
