The Environment Takedown is a takedown debuted in Batman: Arkham Knight. When used, it will instantly incapacitate any enemy type, regardless of remaining health. This attack can be performed both in Combat and Predator situations.
The Environment Takedown can only be performed near certain points in the environment, highlighted in blue. These include:
- Around air conditioning units, which will be torn off and smashed into the target.
- Electrical boxes, which will be smashed by the character throwing the target into it, and the target will be thrown and held again into the box, electrocuting them.
- Lights hanging by a single chain, which will be smashed into the enemy's head.
- Spotlight fixtures located around ground/rooftop areas that the character will grab the thug and smash them headfirst into the spotlight itself, electrocuting them.
When used on Brutes or Minigunners, they will be incapacitated instantly, even if they are Militia. The animations used will be slightly different.
