Close and Personal (Bronze, 20G) – Perform 25 close combat Takedown Kills. Walk up to an enemy and you’ll see an R3 prompt. This will trigger a takedown animation. Do 25 of these to gain the achievement/trophy.
Explosive Surprise (Silver, 20G) – Kill 5 enemies with sabotaged vehicles. You’ll need the Saboteur Perk for this one. Go to any fast travel point and wait for an enemy vehicle to turn up. Shoot the driver, leaving the passenger alive. Plant a bomb on the hood of the car then keep the enemy as close to the car as possible as it explodes. Do this 5 times and you’re done.
