    How do you do Death from Above Takedowns?

    I'm new to Xbox and to Far Cry. I've watched videos of people jumping onto cultists from roofs and even parachuting onto them and killing them. When I try this I only get an angry cultist. So what am I missing? What makes it a takedown? Should I be pressing a specific button on the controller or just whacking them with a bat as I land on them?

    As you come down on the NPC you should be pressing the takedown button. It's the same concept as a normal takedown; when within range you will get the prompt to do a takedown.

    I'm on console and it does it automatically. I believe I needed to get a perk first though?

    Don't believe so. On the PC there's no perk for doing a death from above. I'm being very selective on my perks, and that isn't one I've needed (or seen) to be selected. Yet I'm working on getting the required number so it can be checked off.
