Takedown/FC4

Unlike Jason Brody, Ajay Ghale is shown to already know how to perform the basic takedown by the time of his return to Kyrat, and learns the other types by the way of the Tiger. If you have played Far Cry 3, you will notice that the animations are identical, with a few new animations added, and some removed (Dual Death from Above). 
==Regular Takedown==
The base takedown. It involves Ajay rushing toward the enemy and to violently stab them in the chest or the neck, killing them. Gives 3x the amount of XP.
==Drag Takedown==
After a regular Takedown, the body can be dragged to a destination where it can be hidden from the enemy's sight. (Note: Heavy targets cannot be moved, unless the Moving Mountains skill is learnt). Best utilized for assaulting lone enemies from foliage and immediately dragging them back in to avoid detection.
==Knife Throw Takedown==
By pressing 'Shoot' (left mouse button on PC, RT on Xbox, R1 on PlayStation) after killing an enemy, Ajay reaches for a throwing knife on the target enemy's belt and throws it at another, killing them as well, as long as they are within range.
==Chain Takedown==
This allows Ajay to chain-kill multiple enemies, by pressing a specific movement direction key during a Takedown, provided another enemy is within close proximity. To unlock this, defeat 1x Retaliation party. Players seem to find these rarely useful, except in the arena, where enemies are in much closer proximity, and chains yield massive amounts of XP (10x XP per takedown in the chain, except the initial takedown).
==Grenade Takedown==
By pressing 'Throw Grenade' (middle mouse button on PC) after initiating the Takedown, Ajay will pull the pin of the grenade on the killed enemy's belt and kick them away as the grenade starts ticking, turning the body of the enemy into a deadly surprise as the grenade explodes shortly afterwards. Note that enemies will still react to the body with the same AI routines as a standard grenade, meaning they will still be running for cover or try to distance themselves from the explosion.
==Death from Above==
Ajay jumps down from an elevation and kills the enemy beneath him. Unlike FC3, there is no "Dual" skill, meaning that to kill more than one enemy, they must also have the Chain Takedown skill. Gives 5x the XP earnt.
== Death from Below ==
Ajay goes up and stabs the enemy before going back down. If initiated in water, Ajay will pull the enemy into the water, stabbing them in the chest without giving them time to react, and then kicking the body away. Unlike Death from Above, the dual counterpart remains in FC4, being unlocked along with the Death from Below skill itself.
==Heavy Takedown==
The only Takedown that can instantly kill an armoured enemy. Interestingly, the Heavy enemy is killed with one stab from the back whereas it takes two stabs to kill the heavy if initiated from the front. Once the skill is unlocked, the Heavy can also be killed with Death From Above. Earn 5x the amount of XP.
==Gunslinger Takedown==
By pressing 'Aim' (right mouse button on PC, LT on Xbox) after initiating the Takedown, Ajay will pull out a pistol from the enemy's belt and use it to shoot at other enemies. The finishing animation shows the gun running out of ammo, with Ajay promptly discarding it. The pistol is automatically aimed and will instantly kill enemies shot at (even Heavy gunners and Heavy flamers).
==Cover Takedown==
This takedown involves Ajay grabbing an enemy from cover while crouching or standing and violently stabs the kukri in their throat, or once into the center of the back of their head (effectively cutting their brain stem and disconnecting their brain from the rest of the nerve system). If initiated from an enemy from behind Ajay will pull them over the obstacle and stab them in the back of the neck.
==Vehicle Takedown==
This takedown will allow Ajay to jump from the vehicle he is driving and kill the driver and the passenger. The animation is different depending on the vehicle being taken down, which side the takedown is being performed, and how many enemies are in the vehicle. For example, If a truck has a driver, passenger, and a gunner, and Ajay performs the takedown on the passenger side, he will stab the driver, kick the passenger, then shoot the gunner with a pistol found on the dashboard.
==Loot Takedown==
Although not a technical "takedown", this enables Ajay to collect all loot from a body instantly upon performing any takedown, although Gunslinger only loots the initial enemy, still needing manual looting for additional enemies.
