"Pick up an enemy from the ground and perform critical beat down"

[-Шasтe|Мanageмenт-]

So I'm 3 stars away from completing my last AR Combat Map. But I need to perform that kind of special moves to unlock the requirement of this last AR Combat Map ..

How to do that, I think I missed something in early game progress because I don't even know how to pick up an enemy from the ground, and where should I do that? In 'free roam' or inside the AR mode? And I'm playing with KB+M btw.

Knock down a thug, then press Ctrl + middle mouse at the same time.

lol just that? And how's the beat down? Just press the left click button or usual alt+1? I know I can just figure it out myself but I'm away from home right now.

I use a controller so look through your WayneTech Combat menus for the procedure for keyboard. I found that you can unlock the AR requirement off the same thug by not beating him senseless: Ultra Stun, Pick-Up, partial Beatdown, 3x repeat. Don't worry about breaking a combo, it won't affect unlocking the AR challenge.

Yep then left click. It isn't that hard.

Thanks people, it's worked and done!

And yeah it isn't hard at all lol, I just never bother with enemies on the ground since they're usually get up fast or I just insta KO them with Left Click/Stun+KO them.

just pick em up and start hitting attack to do the beatdown.

This just won't unlock for me. I've done done the pick-up critical beatdown (Ctrl+Q) a hundred times in two different saves, and Tower Defence is still locked. I've tried doing it to different enemies and one enemy with the super stun, doesn't matter.

Is it just bugged?

I’m using a controller and I can’t get it to work. I’m doing every combo there is. I just go to the street looking for thugs to beat up and nothing works. I’ll go all the way back to the objective and it’s still not unlocked even after I’ve thrown people over the top of me six times. At this point, I’m thinking there’s something seriously wrong with this game. I literally can’t do anything else because I’ve done it all and I’m waiting to get through this objective. Very frustrating. Bout ready to uninstall.

I've unlocked it long ago, so it definitely works somehow. It's not about doing every combo - if I read it right what you have to do three times is the following: tripple-B stun a guy so he's on the ground with stars around his head, then pick him up with RT-B, then use B-X-X-X for a beat down.

[Ritke]

I think it's just bugged for some. Never managed to unlock it. You'd have to start a new save. My game is literally 240 % complete with all stars in challenges except this one, too.

[gps]

Yes, it might be bugged. There is some crazy bug stuff still in the game... ;)

In another tread ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/208650/discussions/0/1638668751269496417/?ctp=2 ) someone suggested reducing screen res. Might be woth a try.

If you have a 240% complete game - did you try to unlock it in open world of NG+ or also in the base game open world? Just some hunch - try unlocking it in the base game open world. Allthough Riddler stuff carries over, these are technically two different entities...

[Ritke]

Worth a shot. I tried a small resolution and that did not help.
I've also tried both styles: instant beatdown after pick-up, or pick-up + another stun punch and beatdown. Nothing.

And yes, it won't unlock in either save original or NG+. Sad. Don't feel like starting a new game just for that challenge, but that would be the only way to verify it is a bug.
