How to do Aerial Takedown

[Hotdog Air]

I have unlocked the hidden dragon perk but cant do a aerial takedown. What button is it?

[Astro]

did you figure out how to do it? I'm having the same problems myself

same problem

[Hotdog Air]

you have to jump from a height onto to someone then hold R key at the right time when you get close to them in midair/falling. It can be quite hard to do

i use controller and tried a couple of times, then i did nothing but land on the bad guy and it worked

[Jimmi G지지지]

Can't get it to work for me either. Landing on them and they just flinch.

You just have to jump on the enemies head, for some reason it depends on the height from where you jumped. Well the only thing I can say for sure this perk doesn't work well

Really? That sounds super finicky, they could have explained it better in the perk menu, like they did with LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE. Anyway thanks, I'll try again now.

I found it really hard at first but I have got the hang of it now. Its a really good perk because it takes down literally any enemy regardless of how tough they are. There was this one part where they were these three high level enemies separated I could aerial takedown all three and got a ton of xp, where as grappliing from behind wouldnt work

Yes, it seems so. Here is a video where I try to do it but I guess I'm too high? Because it doesn't work at all. https://imgur.com/xUnWMOD

I landed on them while holding down the melee button. With their back facing me.

accourding to this video, there should be no key-press necessary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdT7uJg52IE

I never had to press a key while on top of the enemy. It just works.

I just wish there were more animations. Your character auto turns to align himself. Pff..

quick question: does it work on none-human like robots?

[glenn3e]

You need to get the double jump leg enhancements to do it effectively. Now I go charging into battle by face planting the first enemy I meet. Jumping in like a ninja.

goomba stomp people while they are unaware of you.
