Learn all the Predator Takedown moves in Batman: Arkham Origins! Master Inverted, Grate, Vent, Batclaw, Ledge, and more takedowns to silently neutralize enemies.

Alright, let's talk about Predator Takedowns in Batman: Arkham Origins. These are your bread and butter for stealth takedowns, and most of them use the Triangle button (or Y on Xbox) when the prompt appears. It's all about timing and positioning, so pay attention to when that little icon pops up!

Here's a rundown of all the different Predator Takedowns you can pull off:

  • Inverted Takedown — You'll need to be hanging upside-down from a vantage point. When an enemy walks right under you, hit Triangle. Easy points!
  • Grate Takedown — Find a floor grate to hide in. When a bad guy walks over it, press Triangle. They'll never see it coming.
  • Vent Takedown — Similar to the grate, but you're hiding in a wall vent. Wait for an enemy to get close to the vent, then hit Triangle.
  • Batclaw Takedown — This one's cool. Use your Batclaw to yank an enemy right off a ledge. Great for environmental kills.
  • Ledge Takedown — Hang from a ledge and wait for an enemy to get close above you. Then, press Triangle to pull them over.
  • Inverted Ledge Takedown — This is the opposite of the Ledge Takedown. Hang from a ledge, and when an enemy walks underneath you, press Triangle to drop down and grab them.
  • Zipline Takedown — While you're zipping across on a zipline, if an enemy is close enough, you can press Triangle to take them out mid-air.
  • Explosive Gel Takedown — This is a bit more strategic. Spray some explosive gel on a weak wall, then move to the other side. When an enemy walks past the wall where you sprayed the gel, detonate it. Boom!
  • Glue Smash Takedown — First, hit an enemy with a glue grenade. Once they're stuck, get close to them and press Triangle for a special takedown.
  • Silent Takedown — The classic. Just sneak up behind an unsuspecting enemy without them seeing or hearing you, then press Triangle.
  • Remote Control Batarang Takedown — Use your RC Batarang. Guide it to an enemy near a ledge and knock them off. Another environmental hazard you can exploit.
  • Corner Takedown — When you're peeking around a corner, wait for an enemy to approach, and then press Triangle to pull them into your cover.

Most of these will give you a prompt when the time is right, so just keep an eye on your screen. Mastering these will make you a much more effective predator in Gotham!
