osakamitsu Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Any tips for taking out the heavies? whats the best silent approach? I see there is a perk for beating them down but is that considered stealth? I want to go undetected while taking an outpost. If there are heavies it makes it quite difficult for me.

xTGMx INF3RNO Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Theres a skill you learn where you can just take them down from behind like normal enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osakamitsu Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 haha cool. I guess from the description of the skill it seems like its not very stealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rpheus Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) Theres a skill you learn where you can just take them down from behind like normal enemies. this skill you can learn if you upgrade yr skills directly on the same page, like me have it since yesterday and have only 8 outposts to go.. so damn me for learning different skills on the 3 different pages best tip I can give, it doesn't work on every outposts but had arround 4-5 outposts this way... so like normaly first taking the camera, then you kill the normal people first,if there 2 of those big guys, then you trow rocks further and further away from their spot and when the first one is far enough, lay C4 on his spot, now you do the same thing with the second big guy, then push the button twice in a row very fast when they are on there place 1500 xp is yours! +2x 300xp for blowing there asses off lmAo!

DerHirni Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Just take them out from far away with a silenced sniper rifle. They don't trigger an alarm as long as they don't see you, so you can just sit a good distance away taking them out one by one. Much easier then going in and trying to take them out with a takedown or silenced weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldastar52 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 The Z93 or whatever the 3rd Sniper is called will one shot any heavy in the head even with a suppressor attached. Also if you just don't care about how loud you are, the AMR will one shot ANY enemy thrown at you, no matter where you hit them (Love that Sniper when I just wanna make some noise at a distance).

Direkin Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 haha cool. I guess from the description of the skill it seems like its not very stealthy. Heavy takedown? It's very stealthy. The only thing to remember is that you can't drag a heavy afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldastar52 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Heavy takedown? It's very stealthy. The only thing to remember is that you can't drag a heavy afterwards. It is a stealth takedown, but it is the longest takedown animation I believe and as such, you may want to isolate the heavy before attempting it. As I have been caught a few times mid kill.

As I have been caught a few times mid kill. Same here, but just on two occasions. Both times were by an enemy I hadn't spotted earlier walking in on my shenanigans, but then both times I was a bit careless anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IFTHISTHENTHAT Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Behind their facemask is where the soft mushy part of their head is. Aim there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXH Reaper Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 The heavy beat down skill is still stealthy, so long as you isolate them in an area where no AI paths go and can see you can kill them first. The was one outpost I liberated that had two heavy's, I made sure to isolate and take them down first. Then watched the AI paths and removed the next most dangerous threat. I continued that pattern until everyone was dead by take downs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osakamitsu Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Thanks guys. Some awesome info. Ive tried going for the back of the head with the sniper rifle but it never kills them. Maybe Im just a bad shot. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Of 87 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Heavy Beatdown works, but you can't do any of the additional moves like Chain, Knife throw, Gunslinger, Drag, etc. Death From Above also works if you need to use it during the Rushing Assault Trials Of Rakyat.

Shiftie Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Honestly C-4 everytime it works brilliantly. Simple and effective, and doesn't cause any issues if he's the last guy in an outpost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevander Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Honestly C-4 everytime it works brilliantly. That's what I use. One under their feet and dead. Usually nets you a nice multi-kill as well. One time I killed about six guys with one C4, including a heavy. Now if only you could strap C4 to an arrow...

Tanaka Futaba Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 This is how I deal with them: -first choice is always to learn & use heavy takedown, otherwise -snipe behind the head, or -if confronted, use flamethrower & grenade (and healing in between) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLifeAfter Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Fire arrow, always one shot, and as long as you leave the heavies for last it won't alert anyone. Don't use explosive tips, those can take 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would add that. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob101910 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I think C4 is the best. I don't use it for anything else. Only for heavies. It can take out several heavies in one explosion. The takedown is good as well, but I don't think you can unlock that until quite a bit into the game's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you just don't care about how loud you are, the AMR will one shot ANY enemy thrown at you, no matter where you hit them (Love that Sniper when I just wanna make some noise at a distance). THIS THIS THIS! I keep the MS16 equipped as a primary and the AMR on backup for dealing with heavy threats. It will 1-Hit Kill ANYTHING and is quite handy for stopping vehicles in their tracks. 1-2 shots will blow up jeeps for a nice double kill. A lot of the predators are a pain in the ass, so I will either 1-Hit them with the AMR or hit them with a Molotov. Same applies for Heavies.

CenozoicZombie Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 When does the Heavy Beatdown unlock? I'm just past the part where you crawl out of the corpse pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
