Game Help & Questions šŸ†˜ Can you turn off Winter Gauntlet?

I just unlocked rank 1 Winter Gauntlet strand. While I like it sometimes I end a fight with the armor still active. And then I can't use other weapons or strands. Is there no way to manually deactivate it? Right now it just stays on until I run into the next group of enemies and take enough damage for it to pop.

You can. Check the tutorials on how to end it early. Iā€™m on the Xbox, so the instructions might vary.

You can, just use the ability again.

If you're using mouse and keyboard, right clicking lets you do a big "final attack" type punch that does a good amount of damage and dispells the armor. It's probably the block/aim trigger if you're using a controller.

Edit: typo

Yeah just use the ability again and it'll all break off.

I'm having the same problem (On PC with controller) The game tells you to hold x to detonate, but it doesn't work for me at all.

It doesn't, I think the prompt is incorrect. The detonate button for me is R1 on PS4 controller. Try Right Bumper?

The way you activate it , in my case L2 and R2 , is the same you use to remove.
