7 'Non-Lethal' Takedowns That Definitely Killed People

Some games offer non-lethal ways to take out your foes, but don’t look too closely at these options - a lot are at least as deadly as the lethal method you’re trying to avoid. Here are the times we took the non-lethal option with probably fatal consequences. Subscribe for a video like this every Thursday: www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
Dishonored, for example, lets you eliminate religious zealot High Overseer Campbell without killing him by instead branding him on his face with a red hot iron. This brand that causes him to be thrown out of the Overseers and shunned by society, at which point he contracts the definitely fatal Rat Plague. Loophole?
And don’t get us started on Hitman’s Agent 47, who keeps hiding unconscious bodies in sealed, operational chest freezers where they will either freeze, suffocate or freeze and then suffocate. Good for making human-sized popsicles, less good for keeping non-targets alive.

yeh that bit makes no sense, there is no body to be infected or feed rats or anything, it's almost as if the rats are more of a psychic phenomenon, tied to the person's death; also, it could be more related to the chaos that would happen from them dying rather than the rats

Miller also talks about how he wants to do a Superman story where a depowered Superman is in a nazi concentration camp. Why? Because in Miller's mind, Superman's a jew. No, really. He actually said that. And in his mind, I guess concentration camps are a rite of passage for jews? Anyway. Miller's more recent Batman tortures and murders more than the Joker. He kidnapped Dick Grayson and locked him in the Batcave, forcing him to eat rats if he wanted to survive. He mocks Superman for not taking over the world. I could go on, but you get the idea. The fan joke is that he isn't Bruce Wayne, he's an insane hobo named Steve who happened upon Batman's cave and stole his shit. Hence, Crazy Steve.

[@itssargintime7242]

by the way there is a fun fact about Father Elijah in Fallout New Vegas if you choose the "non-lethat" option, you can actually hear a radio signal from him on your pip-boy after exiting the vault and exploring around the villa and the casino before leaving Sierra Madre forever.......the radio signal has Elija's voice playing from the vault BEGGING you to let him out, because you guys can make a deal and stuff....but at the end he says "then i'll wait for you in hell courier" so he died that is out of the way......well he at least began again (get it? HA)

[@darklord884]

To be fair, Corvo had no idea Campbell would contract the plague. Hindsight is 20/20 on that one, but the mark of herecy in and of itself doesn't cause him contracting the plague. I still felt sad, especially considering Campbell is so consumed with fury, his last coherent words are to curse Corvo, but you can't really claim it's all on him as he had precious little control over what happened to Campbell after he got shown the door by the Overseers.

Alexander McCabe I've always wondered about that. How exactly do they know how many people 47 has(n't) killed? Is there someone constantly monitoring him or do they use the honour system? Debriefing: "So, 47, how many non-target kills did you get on that last mission?" 47: "None." Debriefing: "Are you sure?" 47: "Would I lie to you?" Debriefing: "Maybe we should just go check..." 47: "No, no. I promise. I may have put one man in a freezer but we all know that's never killed anyone." Debriefing: "Fair enough. Good work, 47. Enjoy your perfect score"

[@Marc-lf4du]

Maybe he is discovered soon after the murder, morgue assistant finds him in there shortly after 47 is done freezing the poor guy

[@Se7en2107]

EnEbEE OgLoOSpLS And they always find him just in time, too. I mean, I assume they always find him. He's always there again when you go back to the mission. Maybe they keep cloning the guy and everyone else in the town or have built Westworld-like robots to live there because for some reason a bald man with a barcode tatoo, himself a clone, kept murdering people. Maybe 47 never left the ICA and that all the locations he visits are just staged and kept in a sealed, controlled environment so he doesn't escape and murder actual innocent people. Maybe there is no ICA or Diana or scoring system and 47 is just a psychopath who has created all these things in his head to justify his murderous rampages.

I made it out with all of the gold, had to kill Elijah to do so. Took me about an hour of walking at a snails pace to the nearest store to sell them only to fimd out they are worth so much the stores cant take more than a couple each. Left 20 bars in my house and had over a 100k caps from the rest. TLDR: You can get all the gold but its much more of a hassle than just leaving them, you don't really need all that money

[@Dreamerx47]

It was a lesson about letting go you filthy philistine.

[@mydogbuddy07]

Iv'e played New vegas but don't remember doing that quest for some reason, so forgive me if the answer to this is obvious, but, couldn't you just grab part of the gold, dump it just outside the vault (or somewhere where you can easily go back to, i don't know whether the vault gets locked after the quest, besides when you lock Elijah in the vault) and take the rest to a shop or somewhere else safe, then make a return trip to pick up what you left behind? TL;DR Couldn't you just make multiple trips to make it faster?

[@chenry7084]

007 - Its a DLC so that's probably why you don't remember it, but the elevator cant be called into the vault once your down there, that's why your luring Elijah in in the first place, to bring it down to you, that and revenge. And once your out there's no going back, so its all or nothing from the start.

[@mydogbuddy07]

+C Henry Ahh, yes, I never played the DLC's for new vegas, so that would definitely be why. What about just slowly hauling the gold just outside of the point where you can't go back? cause OP said they slowly walked all the way to a shop. I'm imagining slowly walking till you get to a point you can get back to, dropping some stuff so you can fast travel, and then fast traveling back and forth however many times it takes to store/sell the gold?

[@chenry7084]

007- There is a bunker that you find yourself in when you leave the Sierra Madre, and there are several containers where the gold should theoretically be safe, but most players likely didn't want to risk losing it. I always made my home in Novac which wasn't far away and only with a few geckos in between, so I usually just made the slog for the sake of doing it in one trip, although later I didn't even bother because if you play the DLC right you can get an endless supply of repair kits. Which I would use to max the value of high level weapons and make more off of them than even all the gold could net me. I should note that there is a lot of gold and it weighs in at 20 a piece so you max out very quickly, so you would be talking about a lot of trips, especially if you want to keep all the great armor and weapons you pick up in the DLC as well.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater puts you in a position during a motorcycle chase near the end of the game that you can use the tranquilizer guns for "non-leathal" takedowns to still get the pacifist grade even though knocking the enemy driver of a motorcycle unconscious causes them to clearly cause a crash with an explosion that obviously kills them.

[@brandonwithnell612]

one work around is to use the camo you get from the electro guy, forgot his name its been a while since i played. anyways if you take him down non lethal (even though he still dies at the end due to lightning XD) you get camo that makes it so if your facing an enemy they wont shoot you, so you can go throught that chase scene with non casualties by staring at them, and that way theyll just follow you before they inevitably give up and they wont crash along the way

Non lethal, like that time I accidentally snapped the neck of the sage near the beginning of assassins creed 4:Black flag but he happened to have unsnapped his neck in the next cut scene

[@pyrosnineActual]

I thought the Dead Money DLC was the best narrative adventure ever. Let go, Begin again. Not just a mantra, and not just a hammy moral aesop. No, dead money was almost an interactive novel about how those who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat it- which was the overlying theme of the Courier's story in Fallout New Vegas. Elijah's best fate was the most poetic of the four- A man who never could accept that this drive to obtain power at any cost was the source of his repeated failures, and thus is inevitably trapped by a honeypot of everything he ever wanted locking him in there for the rest of his life. He is literally a man who studies the past, but does not learn from it, and one of the most interesting Fallout villains in my mind.

[@jeoffrey9733]

(Character spoiler alert) For me the best moment was when you save God from going on a rampage in the kitchen of the casino, but in doing so he loses his memory of you and everything that happened to him. I was so happy for him because for years he was forced to work for a madman, hauling unconscious people into that casino day after day. And the worst part was that God himself couldn't do a thing because Dog, his other self, was constantly suppressing God. I know that you could chose to either let him stay God or let him become Dog, but the memory loss looked like the best solution so he could let go of his past and start over again.

An good example from Dishonored 2 is Captain Ramsey of the Tower Guard. The non-lethal option is locking him in a hidden safe-room that only you have a key for and just forgetting about him the rest of the game. In the last level you discover that at some point after you left Dunwall he was turned to stone, and unlike with Emily/Corvo, you don't even get the option to bring him back to normal.

I would add Dragon Age 2's quests Act of Mercy (act 1) where you save Grace (or turn her into the Templars). Not only do you save the b***, but she then turns around in act 3's quest Best Served Cold where she's had a few years to think about things and blames YOU for 1. her decision to follow her blood mage boyfriend after HE burns down the Circle of Magi in Starkhaven; 2. because you help her escape in Act of Mercy---which potentially puts your life in danger (esp if you're a mage) because you either bs the Templars or have to kill Ser KissAss....Karas. I meant Karas. (Yup, your Hawke is a terrible person for showing compassion. Go stand in a corner.) 3. because you're a horrible person for not having the option of giving her money or food or magic carpets to escape with. (Weirdly enough, Terrie --a mage you also save w/in the same quest--, becomes a mage who helps other mages leave Kirkwall or evade the Templars and doesn't seem to resort to blood magic, but yeah Grace, you run with your ungrateful hatred. [b****]) The ungrateful b****, Grace, I mean 'Grace', then kidnaps someone you love in Act 3's Best Served Cold. And not just kidnapping, she goes so far as to orchestrate your brother Carver's capture if he's a Grey Warden. (Or a Templar, but hey, the Templars are largely douchey, so whatever.) She also kills one of the few non-douchey Templars (Thrask) who tries to help her. The game forces you to kill her in Act 3, but let's face it, you really REALLY should have done it in Act 1. You just knew it was coming.... And since the Circle doesn't seem to offer anger management classes, you REALLY knew it was coming.

In the case of Overseer Campbell, he spent his career using religion as a means to oppress and beat-down the general public with threats of being accused of heresy or sedition - now he has had the same thing applied to him, so he rots at the bottom with all his victims.

[@hylianchriss]

In the Arkham Batman franchise not only is the car definitely killing at least half of those bad guys, but a LOT of Batman's takedowns and/or finishers and counters clearly breaks the enemies heads, necks, spines and other semi-important parts of their bodies. Some gets thrown off buildings from the 50th floor even. And as a bonus, as this video showed us, every single car you hit with your bat mobile clearly kills every single person inside of them, they are NOT walking away from that head-on collision when their entire car explodes. Assassin's Creed also has a lot of those, when you chose to use your fists instead of blades to take down enemies you are CLEARLY breaking both necks and skulls - "knocking out" my ass.

[@stevenflowers857]

Kind of surprised Assassin's creed: the Ezio trilogy isn't on this list as two non-lethal takedowns in real life would kill. One where Ezio punches his target in the lower area of their back and then bends the target's neck over his shoulder as Ezio is facing the opposite direction. The other take down starts the same way but Ezio throws the target to the ground and then curb stomps their head, hard.

You mention hitman but forget about the garrote wire. If you don’t know what garrote wire is. It’s pretty much thin metal wire designed to cut people’s throats or take their head off. Not to choke people out. Think of a sharp version of the third string on a guitar and you’re pretty much spot on. Garrote wire was used by mobsters to assassinate rival members like how agent 47 uses it. Or in WW2 they tied it too trees on either side of roads and waited for soldiers on motorcycles or open top cars to pass by. Taking their heads or other body parts clean off.

The garrote wire is very much lethal ingame though.

What about infamous? You can either succ a soul out of your enemy when they are strapped down or finish them with electricity.

Andy, you know that you can technically steal all that gold, and crawl your way out of the vault. Leaving Elijah entombed for all eternity while you slowly, painfully walk over to the nearest house you own to drop the gold into a bookshelf or something.

[@CattleDekappa]

To be fair, in Hitman no subtitle, you can assume that within the time it takes to finish the level that the creepy morgue guy wouldn't have suffocated and frozen to death in the freezer....yet, so HA! LOOPHOLE!

[@CattleDekappa]

Sure Agent 47, whatever you say. Not like you've ever deceived anyone ever or, you know, do that for a living

[@Se7en2107]

Agent 47 That's true. I mean, every time you go back to the level there they are still fine and well.

[@Marc-lf4du]

Agent 47 do you come back and pop him out, pretending to find him their so you aren't framed

Really really love "The Cask of Amantillado" reference. Thank you, Andy. You know good wine.
