7 "Stealth" Takedowns That Were the Least Stealthy Thing to Ever Happen

[@outsidextra]

These stealth and silent takedowns were spectacularly conspicuous, and yet somehow we got away with them?? Here are the stealth takedowns that were anything but. Enjoy!

[@timothymclean]

I don't think you understand what "stealth takedown" means. It means that the target doesn't notice what you've done. That's why Mike is so good at Hitman! ...Or possibly why I'm so bad at it.

[@certifiedlosenger4300]

The clip from Shadow of War was the wrong one. The stealth dominate ability is activated just like a sneak attack, the footage you showed was from an earlier point in the game and you used the standard dominate move (Might want to edit that before my pedantic brethren arrive :P)

exactly! except i normally stab them in the back because its more fun and rewarding then shooting their face 3 times... altho i am curious as to how the draugr didn't notice me shoot him right in the butt, and how i headshot that bandit and he said it was him just hearing things???

[@georgesears934]

[@Storyman09]

To be fair, he actually got away with that one. Somehow.

[@marhawkman303]

Mike was wearing an outfit(waiter) that made him blend in with the crowd(kitchen staff), used a weapon that did not cause him to be visibly armed(seriously, it looks like a rubber duck, not a bomb), and avoided being near the dead body. So it made sense for him to not get seen by the guards. The part of the rubber duck incident that was amazing luck was how he killed the target and ONLY the target.

[@fallenheroes9846]

[@Danny_Ko]

They're saying that the inverted takedown isn't a silent takedown because the guards to over to the person who is yelling, also the takedown through the vent gate thing just said "takedown" not "silent takedown"

[@Shittyrapper]

In Batman all the takedowns unless if it’s the corner or the silent thugs will investigate which makes sense because those are the only two quiet ones

The wall takedown in Human Revolution is not a stealth takedown. It never says it's a stealth takedown, and if you break through a wall with people in the adjacent room they will hear you. None of the melee lethal takedowns are stealth takedowns, as every lethal takedown will alert other enemies within a set radius. They could've gone for any of the other stealth takedowns and called them out for being noisier than HR makes them out to be, but claiming the wall takedown is 'stealthy' is blatantly incorrect

[@TGKArc]

Kind of unfair on Batman...most of those takedowns are clearly "brutal" takedowns. Designed to place remaining enemies into a state of fear or to simply take the enemy down quicker than a stealth takedown would. They tell you that in the games.

[@definitelykoala3570]

And in many of the examples they are not described as "stealth", you can see that many of them are ever titled around what they involve e.g "inverted" "corner" or just as "takedown" and you can hear the other enemies react to the noise so it in no way gives the impression that its intention was stealth unless you do the take down where you have to actually crouch walk behind the enemie

[@genericusername9457]

Fun fact: Less than half of the takedowns they showed us in the Batman clips were "stealth" takedowns. The inverted, environmental, and knockout smash takedowns all make noise. The ledge and corner takedowns are silent.

[@scootymaster5256]

Insert Generic Username Here I believe in asylum, the inverted takedown is stealthy until he drops them even after they scream as you grab them. They fixed this in other games and they are alerted earlier

If "Stealth takedown" refers to the relation between you and the target then all of these are stealthy, since they did not know what hit them

Soon as you get out of site, they spread out to begin looking for you- and often split up in doing so.

[@rickyroughton8098]

Most of the Batman takedowns that were shown weren't actually "stealth" takedowns, and the ones that _were_ Stealth takedowns didn't actually make a lot of noise (although the Knight's ranged corner takedown would have at least made "body hitting the floor" noise as they fell down, even if the grapple closed around their neck to prevent them yelling during the process). Other than that, there are agreeably a lot of times in games where I'm irritated on my enemy's behalf by how they're injured in some crippling, quickly-lethal fashion (i.e. stab to the chest) that doesn't actually prevent them making noise but they still can't find it in themselves to warn their friends.

[@jarofpickles4057]

Most of the "stealth" take downs they showed from the Arkham games aren't even considered as stealth moves in the games. Following that, one of Batman's main things is playing with the idea of "fear" and this is confirmed not only through dialogue and abilities, but also through the many brutal takedowns he does. A prime example of this being the inverted takedown, one you happened to show in this video. I've also played through both of the Mordor games so I feel obligated to respond there as well. Celebrimbor is not yelling when an uruk is branded. Almost all of the uruks and humans in these games can't see or hear Celebrimbor, even when he is projected near Talion. This is made quite evident through the many interactions between Talion/Celebrimbor and Ratbag through the games with Celebrimbor never speaking directly to the uruk and Ratbag never actually regarding the wraith when he projects himself outside of Talion's body.

Hey, where’s the...um, I’ll just go. This seems important

*Cuts to mike on any stealth game ever*

[@bindair_dundat]

I loved it when the stealthy assassin (AC series) inconspicuously killed lookouts on the roof with his hidden blade... and then let the body fall to the streets bellow, alerting everyone of his position.

[@eriktheswede]

In Batmans defense, the ledge takedown is silent and dose not attract anyone (unless you use the knock out smash) but the other examples you gave are not called "scilent" takedowns. They're just called takedowns. Or as Andy would call them: "Loop holes" No offense to you guys however. Love both Oxbox and Oxtra! And you're right about everything else.

[@tyredmechanic290]

The takedowns in Batman: Arkham series are different from the stealth takedowns!

[@trisertricordoh2127]

I know, the silent takedowns are the ones that he sneaks up on the goon and grabs them and sleeper holds them. All the other takedowns are loud and will alert the other goons to that location. The game even doesn't call them silent takedowns.

[@nuggs-ej4xd]

Ikr

[@PatchyE]

Yeah and neither is the punching though wall in Human Revolution

[@TheZionjuggernext]

Yeah. You can hear them say." What was that," in the video.

[@SoftisNelaris]

Exactly, when they started talking about that stuff I was like "Did you guys... actually... play the game? Or pay attention?"

[@JaelinBezel]

"Stealth!" Me: "Cloaks with deep hoods!"

[@Jessie_Helms]

What about drop assassinations in Dishonored? Falling from multiple stories and slamming a guy on the ground makes no sound apparently.. Basically everything NOT loud and deadly in Dishonored actually is.

[@sharilshahed6106]

chokeholds and knife to the neck are just one of the effective elements in any stealth.

[@saraswatijaiswal2562]

Hey in Arkham games it alerts the enemies if you choose to take the knock out smash takedown or the take down from behind the wall. It is not a stealth takedown

[@shark5932]

Harshit Jaiswal so your not gonna defend watch dogs? That’s your profile picture

[@saraswatijaiswal2562]

Acadia The hedgehog lol I would but then I thought it is a bit unstealthy thought nt as much as they say

[@300IQPrower]

12:15 the beautiful irony is that the captions read that as “Elvis” and they’re not grey they’re white, meaning it’s absolutely sure that’s what it is

[@SalvageET]

Grey subtitles mean they aren't sure? My whole life was a lie.

[@Bren_tendo]

To be fair, the entire point of those Arkham takedowns is the manipulation of fear. Also, not all of those were even masked as silent, the grate one was just called "takedown" and makes a lot of noise, and the environmental ones are the same.

[@Niborino9409]

Earlier in my gaming career I had played Arkham City and stopped for a while. When I got back to it I had forgotten that "knockout smash" was a fast knockout in a pinch and not a legit stealth tactic. I thought it was how you did stealth takedowns, so I kept smashing enemies out and could for the life of me not understand why I was being discovered so easily xD

[@pro_chinmay8127]

You get detection everytime you use those takedown in batman -_-

[@LockeWick]

PrO_ChinMay Well you don’t get detected if they don’t see you but it does alert the enemies and makes them move to that location.

[@cachis1130]

Hey fellow person that has pro in their name

[@imaginebaggins6861]

*slits guards throat before snapping there neck" guard 1: AAAARREGGHGGGGGGLLAAAHH *SNAP* *standing next to him with his back turned* guard 2: huh? oh... must've been nothing.

[@vhpdavila]

8:32 except... No. It's.... It's not stealthy. Enemies will hear you do that and move to investigate. I distinctly remember this being a problem in my plan to infiltrate the mafia in HR.

[@MuffinHunterX]

Nuts. I would've bet money that when presented with the word "Stealth" Mike would have said "Grenade."

[@Jillbles]

Same!!

[@jocosesonata]

Hatchet-grenade. Trust in Mike to include explosions into everything.

[@donaldbiden636]

3:55 Connor's tomahawk?

[@Morghar11]

Strealth games make me laugh sometimes. Like you’ll throw a guy off a cliff and he won’t scream or say anything. Like wtf?😂

[@MegaManDBZX]

The Arkham take downs and the wall punch are not meant to be stealthy. Further more in both those and Rise of the Tomb Raider, a skilled player can use the loud noise as a way of distracting the enemies making it easier to either take them down or escape them.

[@rockyhorrorfreakshow5091]

The thing with the Arkham series is that if you use a knockout takedown it alerts enemies

[@lightning0938]

In Shadow of War you weren't actually doing the stealth dominate you were doing the normal one, the stealth one involves talion turning the enemy around placing his hand on their cheek while the loudest sizzling sound like you just dumped an entire package of bacon into a deep fryer plays. Not to mention stealth brutalize exists, where you stealthily and quietly repeatedly stab an orc with your dagger while you hear dismemberment and blood gushing happen, but stealth

[@hudsonball4702]

I'm honestly surprised none of the stealth kills from Assassin's Creed games made it into this list.

[@MataNui.]

Most of the assassinations would actually get you noticed though. Before Unity a basic hidden blade kill could be considered stealthy by the in universe logic since the idea was to kill and move on before anyone realized what you did.

[@straightbusta6912]

What always bothered me in the AC games was that whenever you killed someone with a hidden blade they'd make that typical ''death sound'', loud enough for anyone near such event would be able to hear, but not the guard that's standing just 2 meters away from him on an empty and quiet rooftop. Not at all.

[@venator5]

Straight Busta! But when I stab someone with the dagger with actually less loud sound effect they hear you instantly.

[@GhengisJohn]

It may not be the stealthiest takedown but at least Laura's _having a blast_ .

[@M4ruta]

"BOOOOOOO... even for you." Cheesy, but caught me off-guard nonetheless and made me laugh out loud.

[@Azure-Flame-Bee]

"Stealth" "Turtlenecks" Was... was that an Archer refrence?

[@beetlesquish3081]

“Stealth” “Slightly darker turtlenecks”

[@nytmare11]

Danger zone!

[@TheRavenofSin]

They didn't once actually use the stealth dominate in shadow of war.

[@yaboi4992]

I think they misunderstood how to do it,or ignored the obvious button prompt.

[@NotTheLastSoL]

Thank you so much for mentioning this. It annoyed me so much.

[@llyrdavies886]

They don’t understand when calebrimbore is shouting he’s in the wraith world not the real world

[@lifeimitatingdeath3608]

I know! Wtf?!

[@austinhord8317]

How can you forget the "Shuffler" takedown on Watchdogs 2?! The first time I used it it really surprised me and immediately scared the hell out of me.

[@Devilangel6161]

Im 21 and I understood the DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince Reference, but not the replacement. Is that wrong

[@MuffinHunterX]

I had to look it up. Tho to be fair I'm 35 and don't know jack about music that isn't on an OST.

[@DnDorBust]

That’s cause DJ Jazzy Jeff was the best xD for like those two or three episodes xD

[@Lordpooz09]

I've never watch fresh prince & I still understood it better than the replacement.... at least the 1st one had names I recognize...

[@zunk_funk]

Devilangel6161 I'm 15 and I only understood the Fresh Prince reference

[@CaitlinRC]

Ah stealth. Aka the main way I'm progressing through Kingdoms of Amalur because I'm too much of a baby to run at them all head on. YEAH TAKE THAT BROWNIES.

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

Caitlin RC Aka the way I progress through literally ANY game that gives me the option for stealth.

[@misterthegeoff9767]

You should really try just wading in lobbing Chakrams everywhere, it's immensely cathartic, though it does tend to leave loot spread over quite a wide area

[@CaitlinRC]

I will keep that in mind Geoff, maybe better than getting my butt handed to me.

[@willowism]

It's honestly a lot more fun

[@alexcatbeansthe3rd140]

Where is this kingdom you speak of? Never heard of it

[@alpharius6206]

Stealth! -Turtlenecks? Stealth! -Silenced pistols? Stealth! Me: GEP GUN!

[@zach_the_guy5257]

I like to make a silent takedown.

[@evecleroux8368]

Pretty much any assassins creed Game should be on this list. Launching yourself off a building with complete faith and trust in gravity to land perfectly on guards ufortunate shoulders deliver death from above IS GOING TO MAKE A LOUD SOUND!

[@manbat4582]

But enemy can actually hear batman if the takedown was loud

[@evershumor1302]

When you pull someone of a cliff in assassins creed they scream like they're going to die.... So stealthy

[@frodobaggins7710]

Wow, Ellen really had it in for Luke this episode. She's probably still upset that he took both of her pastries from last week.

[@Cunnysmythe]

Frodo Baggins had to read that again; didn't think it said 'pastries'

[@LuhWytchReligion]

Frodo Baggins I love your pfp!

[@timlooney6850]

The inverted takedown was never soposed to be quiet and arkham knight focused on fear not quiet

[@dylancross1039]

Tim Looney Good thing fear only works on Batman goons

[@BeansOnButter]

12:26 Did an arrow seriously just explode a gas canister?

[@thekrautist]

Ellen is just too adorable.

[@darthfenrir4892]

PixelJanosz We all know that ;)

[@Gloomdrake]

Jane’s is supreme evil, Ellen’s adorable, Mike’s basically a walking explosion, and Andy is the guy with the bad puns and obscure references. I wonder what kind of person the subscribe orb is. What would it say if I asked it accompany me to Walmart? Would it accept my life? Would it murder me in an alley? I must know...

[@thekrautist]

And Luke? What about Luke? Is he a secret sociopath who acts all friendly in public but always keeps a well-sharpened knife in his pocket? ...wait, that's me.

[@LukeLantern]

But... I'm Luke. Figuratively & Literally. XD Also, yeah, Ellen is just adorable & precious.

[@thekrautist]

Different Luke maybe. Surely there's more than one in this world.

[@coolbones]

Didn't the ones you showed for batman all attract enemy attention though?

[@flyingpenandpaper6119]

coolbones not all of them. And some of them don't have the enemy immediately running, they just say "uh, what was that?"

[@chuckles3116]

Well the point still stands that it’s not like the game presented it as though you were being sneaky. Those moves are for when speed is more important than discretion.

[@YourCrazyDolphin]

If it unless it specifically involves choking them out (in which case the game actually will call it a "silent" take down), yes, they all attract enemies to you. It also freaks them out, especially as you take out more and more thugs. Only reason you don't get spotted is because it is easy to quickly go back into hiding before anyone arrives.

[@gusthegodofgaming9915]

Yup

[@christianmcbrearty]

Most of them weren't stealth attacks

[@CraZPyro]

In watch dogs 2 the secret outfit his stealth take down is where he rises them in the air and crushes each of their bones

[@njokuman]

If I remember correctly the interrogations in Shadow or War aren't actually silent since they aren't considered stealth in the game. You can sneak up to them and do it but the act itself isn't stealth. Branding can be stealth but the interrogations that may or may not lead to a brand isn't (like fore captains or "worms") The ranged brand with the beam isn't either. If you're close enough enemies still hear it.

[@subtractor]

Finally someone who gets it

[@MMDNetwork]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that during interrogation celebrimbor enters the orcs mind, so no one except tone one orc hears him speak (or shout)

[@dylancross1039]

njokuman So... You have to literally be a foot from them

[@fyrlekko5937]

this is super late, but the stealth domination they showed, isn't even the stealth domination. The stealth domination has you run up to them and basically slap them for a second to dominate it. They used the normal domination.

[@stupidvarietyhour]

Fyrlekko I was about to say that when you actually stealth dominate them, it takes 2 seconds.

[@musicadictor]

I love how Ellen is basically a cat in Luke's background. Stealthily walks in, ready to pounce, gets noticed, dashes across the room!

[@woofyou1186]

Agent 47 hitting someone in the head with a fire extinguisher and having it make so much noise but because it was from behind it is a stealth attack

[@Dalladon]

I would add the "Silent Takedown" from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, where any melee weapon - even the delightful sledgehammer counts as a silent takedown from behind, even when you wind it up like Harley Quinn and launch the unsuspecting victim across the room.

[@Dirtbag-Hyena]

Actually a hatchet to the throat is very quiet,whats wrong with the game,is he goes for the legs 1st,which the person would be screaming in pain,before being sliced in the throat.Now if you just went for the throat,& have an extremely sharp hatchet,you could potentially decapitate your victim, & maybye the only thing that is heard is the head hitting the floor. But its a game,& players would get bored doing the same thing over & over.

[@Loudest_Cricket_]

“Five foot wide shoulders”? I didn’t realize that Adam Jenson was an ogre.

[@dylanhumphrey2479]

Just saying. You guys weren’t doing shadow dominate correctly in shadow of war. What you were doing was the normal dominate. Shadow dominate is an option like stealth killing. Expect using b and not x.

[@subtractor]

Dylan Humphrey there should be more comments like this

[@dustinakadustin]

these guys aren't as good as the other channel anyways, not very funny either.

[@sayantanm2]

For Celebrimbor there is a excuse though, normal lving things can not hear or see things going on in the Wraith world.
