    You unlock the ability to do Fear Takedowns towards the end of the first Firefighter saving mission. You'll go through a tutorial when you get it as well.

    To do a Fear Takedown you have to approach your enemies undetected and when prompted press cn_X to start the takedown. You can take out multiple enemies by selecting your them with cn_RS and pressing cn_X again as long as you have a clear line to them. (You can't continue your chain if they're around a corner or behind something) You can upgrade this ability to take out up to 5 enemies in one chain.
    To recharge your Fear Takedown you must do one Silent Takedown. (cn_Y from stealth) - Thanks to Lavindathar for the information.

    Take out 20 thugs by doing this and the achievement is yours.

    LavindatharIt's basically unmissable. I got it real early in the game.

    Also worth noting, to recharge your fear level you must do one silent takedown (Y button from stealth)

    The counter for this is a little weird. I was only able to get one count (5%) per takedown, even when taking down three guys at once. So you will probably need to start 20 fear takedowns. If you fail a fear takedown or die, however, you still get credit towards the achievement.

    At the building where you rescue the first firefighter and get the ability to do fear takedowns, there's a tutorial for fear takedowns. You can come back to the tutorial after the mission and each of the four takedowns in the tutorial count towards the achievement. You can repeat the tutorial as many times as you wish. Better yet, if you start a fear takedown and fail to complete it, you get credit, and the tutorial will reset itself amazingly quick. So takedown two guys, and just don't grab the third to earn this fast.
