How to shake off an enemy when grabbed?

It's the use/revive button in MP.

Bioware might have even bound this "shake off" to the melee key, but that would have been too simple, i think.

This is on PC. And no, the screen hint does _not_ prompt which key to mash.

I'm on PC and I get a prompt to hit "E"

I forget to mention my experience still comes from a very early 10-hour trial. Maybe they changed it in the meantime.

or: In which langage does it prompt the key?

I have the same problem, I get the red circle with no button prompt. I remapped some of my keys so maybe that's the problem? The "interact" key is still E however.

I had the same problem. Remap interact to E and it'll give you the correct prompt.

So the bottom line seems to be:

On PC it is mapped to the use/revive/interact key. If you did not touch the original settings (use/revive/interact is "e") it even shows up in the prompt to mash "e". Otherwise the key will not show up and you have to "remember" the key you bound use/revive/interact to.

So,you don't see interact key,when assign to something other than E?
That is some Avenger class bullshite.

I found a solution for the issue if you remapped your use key, I quote myself :

1/ Go to My Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect Andromeda\save\
2/ open ProfOpts_profile with a text editor (notepad)
3/ look for the line GstKeyBinding.Keybindings.Concept_Interact.2.button 33
(the last number is the key you remapped "use" to, in my case the F key, 33)
4/ now look for the line GstKeyBinding.Keybindings.Concept_ButtonMashActive.1.button 255
Replace 255 (or the last number, whatever it is) with the number you remapped your "use" key to. In my case, this looks like this now : GstKeyBinding.Keybindings.Concept_ButtonMashActive.1.button 33
5/ Enjoy, now everything is back to normal you can once again play the QTEs with the key of your choice and not die because a stupid dog bit you.

Works. Thank you!
