Get Mouse or any merc with high dextery and agility. Hit H to enter hide.

Equip your knife and prepare the attack by clicking on an enemy. Watch the stealth kill indicator that its atleast 3 bars, better is 4 bars.

Watch the hiding indicator and sneak up to the enemy and insta kill him. If no one sees him getting killed, you wont enter combat.

Repeat till all enemys are dead.

I got it with Fox and a knife. In stealth mode I marked the throat of an enemy and got the kill.
There is a big but about stealth kills, you can't move the dead bodies.

When in stealth mode (hotkey h) some mercs have 'prepare takedown when mousing over an enemy, maybe related with holding a knife and stealthy character. If you press 'B' then you can do prepare an melee attack on a body part from a range. If you then walk to the enemy he will auto perform the stealth attack.

I must be doing something wrong every time i sneak up after preparing it enters combat and the enemy attack.

Machete > Knife! :D

You can create your Main Chat to BE very good in Stealth Kills :) No need for Fox!

Thanks this was driving me crazy! I kept going up to an enemy, then trying to prepare the strike, and would always end up getting spotted.

Still doesnt work for me. i get the prepare ....i sneak behind.....press B...there i no stealth kill indicator and there i no body part selection. tried it with wold and fox....same outcome every time

You select the person who want to kill ahead of time while hidden. A message should appear above that enemies head saying 'ready to execute' or something. All you have to do after that is just sneak behind them and when you're close enough it should pop off on its own.

Keep in mind you need high Agility to get to them easily without being detected, and dexterity to actually hit with melee and stealth kill, and STR for damage.

I had trouble with it too. Once you get the hang of it, it's OP. Before you get close to the enemy, right-click on him and select your target (neck.) Then there should be a knife icon over his head. Then make sure you are stealthed (the word "hidden" in red should be over your character) and approach the victim. That's it. As soon as you're in range, the attack is automatic. Just make sure you're not spotted, and if there are other enemies nearby they will see you.

Wish I could hide bodies :D

I read some comment somewhere that it doesn't have to be a neck strike, is that true? Might help with the failed hit-chances

I revive this thread cause I have the same issue, stealth takedowns work 1/100 with Fox or Blood, as soon as my merc is a few squares away the detection meter goes to max in 1sec or so and the merc is spotted before he strikes.. and the the enemy shoot him first, wtf !!!
This system is crappy , unintuitive, cumbersome and eventually non functional...
