    This achievement is for performing your first Take Down.

    Deus Ex: Human RevolutionFirst TakedownThe First Takedown achievement in Deus Ex: Human Revolution worth 5 pointsPerform your first Takedown. Civilians don't count, so be nice.


    This is a very easy achievement. In Chapter 2 when you first enter the Sarif Plant, the story will give you a short tutorial on how to perform takedowns.

    Takedowns cost 1 enery bar, but if your on your last energy bar, you can wait for it to recharge.

    Move up to the first patrolling enemy and do either a Non-Lethal take down (tap B) or do a Lethal takedown (hold B). If you perform the Lethal takedown, the noise will attract the attention of the other guards. Also, performing non-lethal takedowns net your 20 more xp than a lethal takedown.

    Easily done and the achievement should be yours.

    To take down a enemy press B when your close, a short tap will disable an enemy. If you hold B you will perform a kill takedown.

    Takedowns cost one energy bar, if you don't have enough energy, you cannot perform a takedown.
    Showing both comments.
    Ashen SeraphJust to make it clear, either form of takedown (lethal or non) will work for the achievement.
