For example, Sam, Doc or Kate can tie him up and gag him so that he is permanently out of the way (assuming he's not discovered and freed by another NPC). Cooper, Sanchez or Hawkeye can carry the body to an out-of-the way spot. Quick Actions In addition to controlling characters by selecting them and moving them to a particular location or making them use an object, you can also create Quick Actions, which let you tie together a number of commands. Thus, at the press of a button, you can make Kate dazzle an opponent, while Cooper simultaneously sprints away and knocks down a second NPC and Doc throws a gas phial at a third guard.

Knife [F3] ­ In this mode, Cooper uses his knife to put an opponent out of action in hand-to-hand combat. Watch [F4] ­ Cooper can place his watch on the ground and set the volume of the melody to be played back. In this way, Cooper can lure inquisitive opponents and overpower them.
