they changed it some time ago.

before you needed to be sliding while the attack was ececuted, which lead to people not getting the crit buff when they let go of the sliding button too quickly. but this also enabled the "exploit" of being able to crit with Redeemer while just sliding (not slide attacking).

they changed it so it really only works on slide attacks, like the mod description says. this made it more usable on most weapons.
