    This can be done at any point of the game, or even after completion. You'll need the appropriate "Death From Above" skill in the skill tree.

    Go to Dr. Earnhardt's Mansion, then go to the X: 350 & Y: 700 using the glider. At this spot, enemies will always spawn. If they are fighting your allies, just respawn and try again.

    Approach the base, and use your rock distraction to have 1 of the enemies go under the zipline. Once they are in place, use the zipline, and detach above them to get the automatic death from above kill.

    This can be done during your playthrough of the story, or after you finish the game.

    at coordinates 373, 692 there is a zipline and a guy who wanders relatively close to it. the zipline starts fairly low to the ground with trees and bushes for cover. simply lure the guard to the zipline with rocks, you can throw them whilst directly under the zipline so it is fairly easy here, detach from zipline first, and then hold X and you'll flawlessly land directly into the enemies chest, cheevo popped.

    E vee dubHold the X button while falling onto an enemy?
    The SKILLS guide says Press A.

    UPDATE: Do not Hold X. It does nothing.
    Tap A to release from the zip line. Spam A as you fall near an enemy and hopefully you'll get him.

    Tommy Gun CRGThis worked, but I had to run up to the enemies and make them follow me under the zip, then run up the hill to do it.

    During the mission Lin Cong I Presume? you will come to a long zip line down to a new area. In my game I followed a bad guy down it with him landing and turning around right as I was in position near the end of the zip line. Just drop off right in front of him and spam the A button. Worked 1st time for me. There is also 2 other zip lines that have enemies in good positions for this as well. On the 3rd zip line there was a guy right at the end that as I dropped off it put me into the takedown automatically. I tried the solution by JakThaRiPP3R84 multiple times and could not get the guy to come to the zip line. If you are having trouble just give this a try.

    staR eXistenZExcellent solution and perfect location for this cheevo as well. Almost impossible to miss as long as you have the Death from above skill.
