How to kill a thug with a knife in the Days gone

Let's see how to unlock the achievement "This is a Knife" (This is a Knife) in the action game Days Gone. It can be obtained for killing one of the most powerful opponents in the game with a regular knife.

Trophy

To get this trophy, Deacon must use the Boot Knife, which is one of the main weapons available from the beginning of the game. The knife doesn't break. To get the trophy, you will have to kill a bully, a sprinter or a crank (bear) with a knife.

Do not attempt to engage in direct combat with any of these opponents. A knife is a very weak weapon, and it will be difficult to defeat even a severely weakened enemy.

Condition

To get the trophy, the Deacon must make a surprise attack, that is, plunge the knife into the enemy's body from the back. This option, unfortunately, is not available from the very beginning of the game, since by default, stealth attacks are only possible on weak phreakers. To solve this problem, you need to upgrade the skill "Executioner" (Executioner). This is a level five ability from the Melee Skill Tree, so you won't be able to get it at the beginning of the game. This passive ability gives you the ability to attack powerful enemies in stealth mode.

The easiest way to get this trophy is by performing a sneak attack on one of the thugs. Travel around the world of the game until Deacon says that he has noticed a thug in a nearby area (as shown in the picture).

We climb off the bike and use binoculars to find the monster. We sneak up on him.

Stand behind the thug and make a surprise attack. This way, you will kill the thug and get the trophy.

[Koolerpure]

did this by accident, didnt need all this extra steps, just counter

[MysticalPotato]

Also, you don't need a surprise attack, I got it with the counter attack you get from one of the perks.

Crossbow is the weakest weapon in the game @taxsyn - other weapons kill with one shot, even on hard.

[MysticalPotato]

I got this without even trying to. It's not hard.

[moshiwakeda]

I've never used smoke grenades, I should really try that. I used crossbow from the beginning and it is too OP. It takes like 3 headshots to kill

[Smackems]

you can also just throw a smoke grenade at a thug then immediately go for stealth kill as he coughing on some that good ♥♥♥♥
