Far Cry New Dawn saw the return of shard takedowns, the shard depends on if you can bring down Elite Highwaymen or not. The first shard is a half of a large scissor, it can be used on Tier I to III Highwaymen, but the Elites needs a special perk to take them down. Once that perk has been unlocked, the scissor is replaced by a railroad spike, with a handle.
The animations are slightly more brutal compared to those of Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4 and Far Cry Primal albeit longer animations. Unlike Far Cry 5, your melee weapons cannot be used as takedowns, but can still be thrown at enemies as a part of a takedown. Like Far Cry 5, a takedown can be interrupted by enemies.
