My dags remain unrattled.
This is killing me here guys. Its the only challenge holding me back from Platinum on PS4. I just cant seem to trigger "Rattling your Dags". Ive had 50 hit combos and done everything else in the game. Watched countless videos on YT and read just about everything I can find on ways to make it pop. But this one challenge still remains elusive.
Does anyone have some tips that will help? In the videos Ive watched it looks so easy. Very frustrating.
Thanks in advance!

I guess your biggest challenge given that everything is done is finding a big enough group of enemies. There are some scavenging locations in the Gastown dump which should suffice.
But the basic principle of Rattling Your Dags is 'get a high streak, then kill as quickly as possible once fury runs out'.
I honestly couldn't tell you if it's better to go in with a half-full or a almost-entirely full fury meter. If you go in half-full you will be racking up your streak as you fill it, but individual hits don't actually do very much to give fury, kills are the big filler.
But what I can tell you is to have a full set of shivs and buckshot, but most importantly unequip your knuckle dusters. Go in bare knuckle. The difference between maxed dusters and no dusters on lategame enemies is freaking immense. They'll take far more punches if you're naked.
And that means that not only will you be able to rack up a higher streak, you lessen the risk of an enemy dying while you're still in Fury, which both lengthens it when you want it out and leaves you with less targets to kill afterwards.
A kill is what you need to get Fury, and the streak REALLY does increase the amount of fury you get from a kill, to the point where I've seen it go from 0 to 50% in a single kill. You can't afford to sit around and wait for it, you NEED that high ass streak. So just before your fury runs out, re-equip your maxed out dusters and the second it's gone, obliterate everyone around you. Gutshot, shivs, lucky heavy strikes, go for it. Unequipping and reequipping your dusters will help you get that streak which will get you the challenge - good luck!
EDIT: Call it anecdotal, but I also get the impression that a shiv kill gets you far more fury than a gutshot. you're dependent on RNG to get a shiv prompt usually, but if you leave an enemy grounded as you come out of fury, you'll get that opportunity, and if you can push them into a wall then that's also a shiv chance.
Thanks heaps mate. Ill have another crack at it today and let you know if it pops.
And yeah ive found 3 solid locations in The Dump with a fair few guys who respawn quickly.
