| | |
| Name | Bombs Away Execution |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Platforms | PC, PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360 |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Description | Kill an enemy using an explosive |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Triggered | No |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | Yes |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | Dynamite or Bomb |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | This execution style requires you to kill an enemy by |
| | blowing them up with an explosive device. Dynamite or a |
| | Bomb are your only options here. Dynamite has a shorter |
| | fuse, but also a smaller blast radius. While a bomb’s |
| | massive damage and area of effect can kill an enemy who’s |
| | farther away, its long fuse may give him enough time to |
| | escape. It’s your call, but dynamite is probably a better |
| | bet. It’s cheaper, easier to get and less likely to kill |
| | you |
| | |
| | If you use a Molotov cocktail, you’ll get "Cocktail Hour |
| | Execution" instead. Anyway, the difficulty in getting this |
| | style is that as soon as you throw your explosive, most |
| | nearby gangsters will flee far away. Also, due to the long |
| | fuse on the explosives, they will most likely have time to |
| | get out of the blast radius. |
| | |
| | The recommended strategy to get this style is to kneecap a |
| | gangster, rendering them immobile, then to place the |
| | dynamite/bomb and run. A similar, though riskier strategy |
| | is to place your explosive, then grab a gangster as they |
| | flee. Push them down (forward push or swing toss) towards |
| | the dynamite as the fuse gets below the halfway mark. |
| | Hopefully, by the time they get back on their feet, the |
| | device will have exploded. You may also get this style by |
| | accident if you bomb an enemy business (to end a mob war). |
| | |
| | Another note, you will not get credit for this style if |
| | you die in the same blast that kills your enemy. As such, |
| | make sure that you get clear of the blast radius. This |
| | information may also influence your decision of whether to |
| | use a bomb or dynamite. |
| | |
| | Yet another note (thanks to Zukkus and nobody important): |
| | The Bombs Away Execution style can also be completed using |
| | the explosion from a vehicle, such as a racket truck. |
| | |
| | One more note (thanks to Joshua Grosvenor): Shooting |
| | electrical boxes causes them to explode. If an enemy is |
| | killed by this explosion, you should get credit for "Bombs |
| | Away Execution." |

_____________________________________________________________________________
| | |
| Name | Bottle Execution |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Platforms | PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Description | Kill an enemy by throwing a bottle at him |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Triggered | No |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | Yes |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | Bottle |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | In order to be awarded this execution style, you must kill |
| | an enemy by using a bottle. You can find bottles scattered |
| | throughout most buildings on counters, tables, etc. Simply |
| | pick up the bottle and press "fire" to throw it. Be aware |
| | that the bottle itself does very little damage. As a |
| | result, you must make sure to get your enemy right on the |
| | brink of death before attempting the execution. As is the |
| | case with most of the more difficult or engrossing |
| | executions, try to make sure that your intended target is |
| | the only enemy around. Start attacking him with melee |
| | blows to lower his health. As he gets closer to death, try |
| | to move or re-position the combat as close to a bottle as |
| | possible. You can make this easier by knocking your foe to |
| | his knees. This should buy you some more time to pick up |
| | and throw the bottle without being interrupted. When the |
| | enemy is severely hurt (and ideally, on his knees), reach |
| | over, pick up the bottle and throw it at him. |

_____________________________________________________________________________
| | |
| Name | Chin Up Execution |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Platforms | PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Description | Kill a kneeling enemy by using the execution trigger while |
| | holding a two by four |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Triggered | Yes - Kneeling |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | Yes |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | Two by Four |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | Like many of the other melee execution styles, this one |
| | simply requires you to use the execution trigger on a |
| | kneeling enemy while holding the specified weapon. As |
| | usual, your best bet is to use the two by four both for |
| | the actual kill and also to bring your target to their |
| | knees. Still, you can opt for a debilitating kneecap shot |
| | with another weapon, then switch back for the execution, |
| | if you prefer. The most trouble you’ll probably have with |
| | this execution style is finding a two by four. Unlike the |
| | other melee weapons that are wielded by enemies or |
| | commonly found lying around, the two by four requires a |
| | bit more effort on your part to acquire. |
| | |
| | While you’re driving or walking around the city, you |
| | should see a fair number of flaming barrels littering the |
| | sidewalks and alleyways. If you destroy one of these, a |
| | two by four usually flies out. Your best bet is to grab |
| | an unsuspecting pedestrian (or enemy, if you’re feeling |
| | particularly benevolent) and toss them towards the barrel. |
| | Running one (a barrel, not a pedestrian, you maniac) over |
| | with a car should also work. Either way, look through the |
| | debris and see if you can find a flaming piece of wood. |
| | That’s your two by four. Don’t be fooled by its flimsy |
| | look (or common logic). The two by four will never break, |
| | nor will it be extinguished when you return it to your |
| | magically spacious, fire-retardant coat pocket...right.... |
| | Regardless, you now have the weapon you need to carry out |
| | the "Chin Up Execution," as well as "Sicilian Candle |
| | Execution" and even "Melee Weapon Execution," if you don’t |
| | already have it. |

|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | This is another straightforward triggered melee kill. |
| | Simply procure a tire iron (commonly found in rackets, |
| | warehouses, hubs, etc.) and start beating up an enemy. Use |
| | power attacks and combos to bring him to his knees, then |
| | press the execution trigger to finish him off. As usual, |
| | you can use a firearm to kneecap the enemy if that’s more |
| | your style, but the game may not let you use the execution |
| | trigger when you switch back to the tire iron. If that’s |
| | the case, hit him once or twice (assuming that won’t kill |
| | him), then try the execution trigger again. |

|________________|____________________________________________________________|

| Triggered | No |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | Yes |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | Molotov Cocktail |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | Very similar to the Bombs Away execution, this one |
| | requires you to kill a gangster by using a Molotov |
| | cocktail. As this weapon explodes on impact (it has no |
| | fuse), it is much easier than the aforementioned style. If |
| | you use Molotovs to assault a roadblock from a distance |
| | (when taking down a warehouse, hub, or compound), you will |
| | most likely get this award. The only difficulty in being |
| | granted this style comes from: |
| | |
| | 1. Mastering the throwing arc |
| | 2. Not killing yourself in the process |
| | |
| | As mentioned earlier, the execution only counts if you |
| | don’t die in the process. Also, make sure you know where |
| | your Molotov will go, or else you won’t be able to hit a |
| | thing. Consult black market dealers for extra Molotovs, |
| | and upgrade your street smarts skill to increase your |
| | carrying capacity. |
| | |
| | Note (thanks to Jackson Teagle): You may also get credit |
| | for this execution by throwing an enemy into one of the |
| | flaming barrels littered around the city (assuming the |
| | gangster is killed in the process). |

|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | Yes |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | Police Baton |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | This is another of the many triggered melee execution |
| | styles. First, you need to procure a police baton. Your |
| | best bet is to find a cop roaming the streets (preferably |
| | alone and not near a police station). Run up to him and |
| | start hitting him with melee attacks (if you use a gun, so |
| | will he, and you won’t be able to get his baton). Once you |
| | see him draw his baton, finish him off as you see fit, and |
| | he should drop it when he dies. If you have little to no |
| | heat and/or a high street smarts skill, this single murder |
| | shouldn’t set the entire police force on your heels. |
| | Still, you may bring quite a bit of unwanted attention. |
| | Simply retreat to a safehouse and wait it out. |
| | Alternatively, you can go all out against the cops, as it |
| | doesn’t matter if you die, you already have the weapon |
| | you need. |
| | |
| | Now, with no heat (wait for it to disappear, bribe a cop, |
| | die, etc.), find an unsuspecting enemy gangster and beat |
| | him over the head with your new baton. Quickly use the |
| | execution trigger while he’s still standing to be awarded |
| | this style. |

| Description | Disarm an enemy |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Triggered | No |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | No |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | A firearm (handguns preferred) |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | Although it is classified as an "execution style" this |
| | maneuver doesn’t actually kill your target. Instead, they |
| | are disarmed. The key to getting this style is to hit an |
| | enemy gangster in their right shoulder pressure point, so |
| | that they drop their gun. Although this sounds simple |
| | enough, it’s actually quite difficult. First of all, most |
| | enemies will not have their guns drawn until they enter |
| | combat. As a result, using wall cover so you can take your |
| | time to aim (assuming the enemy hasn’t spotted you) won’t |
| | work. This is because a pressure point shoulder shot |
| | doesn’t count unless the gangster has their weapon out. |
| | If you do get an enemy to see you and draw their weapon, |
| | they generally try to take cover behind whatever they can. |
| | Most of the time, this involves them crouching. This makes |
| | it even more difficult to hit the pressure point (which is |
| | pretty small to begin with). |
| | |
| | The key to getting this rather difficult execution style |
| | is to put points into your shooting skill when you level |
| | up. Not only will this increase your accuracy and decrease |
| | the time it takes for your reticule to tighten, but at |
| | levels 3, 6 and 9, you will increase your disarm chance by |
| | 25%. |
| | |
| | To get this style, your best bet is to use a weak but |
| | accurate handgun (such as the revolver) and try to get |
| | yourself in a position where your enemy isn’t crouching or |
| | taking cover behind something. A great way to do this is |
| | to kneecap them. Then, while they’re stunned and on their |
| | knees, take your time lining up the disarming shoulder |
| | shot. You may have to wait for them to get up again, as |
| | they might have put away their gun. Remember, your |
| | crosshairs will turn red when you have the pressure point |
| | selected. That should be your indicator to determine if |
| | you’re aiming in the right place. Although you can use |
| | free-aim, locking on to your target and then adjusting |
| | your crosshairs will most likely yield better results. |
| | This execution might require some extra point allocation, |
| | accuracy, and skill. As a result, it may be one of the |
| | last ones you achieve. |

| | |
| Items Required | Baseball Bat |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | This is another of the many triggered melee executions. It |
| | follows essentially the same pattern as the others and |
| | consequently, the same strategies apply. First, get a |
| | baseball bat (your first safehouse has one). Next, find an |
| | enemy gangster. Then simply start attacking them with the |
| | bat until they drop to their knees. Once they’re on the |
| | ground, press the execution trigger to take them out for |
| | good. As acquiring the baseball bat is no challenge, the |
| | only difficulty I would anticipate would be getting |
| | enemies to kneel. Some gangsters can be beaten repeatedly |
| | with the bat, but just end up dying, never falling to |
| | their knees. Still, it shouldn’t take more than a few |
| | tries with some enemies before you’re finally able to |
| | knock one down into the "executable" position. |

| | |
| Lethal | Yes |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | A large firearm (Shotgun or Tommy Gun) |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | To put it simply, this execution style requires you to use |
| | the execute trigger on a kneeling foe with a large firearm |
| | (Shotgun or Tommy Gun). The reason why this might be |
| | somewhat difficult is that large firearms, in particular, |
| | do quite a bit of damage. As a result, you have a greater |
| | chance of accidentally killing your target with the first |
| | shot, rather than just dropping them to their knees. While |
| | you can attempt to kneecap them with a weak handgun and |
| | then switch to a large firearm for the execution, this |
| | usually takes too long, and you miss the window of |
| | opportunity for the trigger. Although the Shotgun |
| | execution looks better (in my opinion) you’ll probably |
| | have more luck using the Tommy Gun. Just make sure that |
| | you only squeeze the trigger once at the enemy’s kneecap. |
| | This is because holding down the fire button might start |
| | your character in a different execution style (Gut Shot |
| | Execution). You may end up killing quite a few targets |
| | before you get this one right, but the end result is quite |
| | satisfying: Your character knocks the enemy onto their |
| | back, holds them down with his foot, and fires directly |
| | into their head. Overall, this is a medium difficulty |
| | execution the first time you do it, but once you get the |
| | hang of it, it’s actually quite easy. |
| | |
| | Note (thanks to Kollin Grimm): You must approach your |
| | target from the front when using the execute trigger. |
| | Otherwise, you’ll just do a Gut Shot Execution) |
| | |
| | Note (thanks to Steve Tash): You may also get this style |
| | automatically while simply running and gunning. This is |
| | similar to the automatic execution that sometimes occurs |
| | with "Gut Shot Execution." |

| | you can attempt to kneecap them with a weak handgun and |
| | then switch to a large firearm for the execution, this |
| | usually takes too long, and you miss the window of |
| | opportunity for the trigger. If you go up against strong |
| | enemies with high health reserves, you shouldn’t be too |
| | hard-pressed to drop them to their knees (without killing |
| | them) with the first shot. You may end up killing quite a |
| | few targets before you get this one right, but the end |
| | result is quite satisfying: Your character knocks the |

| | fires directly into their head. Overall, this is a medium |
| | difficulty execution the first time you do it, but once |
| | you get the hang of it, it’s actually quite easy. |
| | |
| | Note about the platform differences: The only difference |
| | between this Faceoff Execution and the other Faceoff |
| | Execution is in the weaponry. The PC/PS2/Xbox "Faceoff" |
| | required either a Tommy gun or a shotgun. For the |
| | PS3/Wii/Xbox 360 version, they made "Faceoff" |
| | shotgun-only, and made a new style (Riddled With Lead |
| | Execution) for doing a kneeling execution trigger with the |
| | Tommy gun. |

| Strategy | This is a fairly straightforward and self-explanatory |

| | execution trigger and a magnum to take out a kneeling |
| | enemy. As with many of these styles, your biggest |
| | challenge may be to drop your enemy to their knees without |
| | simply killing them. The magnum is a powerful weapon, even |
| | before it’s upgraded. A weak Tattaglia gangster might very |
| | well go down in a single shot (conveniently giving you |
| | "Sure Shot Execution") instead of enabling you to perform |
| | this execution. If you want to, you can try to use a |
| | weaker weapon to kneecap your foe, then switch to the |
| | magnum for the kill. Still, your best bet is just to find |
| | a fairly strong enemy (depending on how upgraded your |

| Strategy | In order to be awarded this execution style, you must |
| | kill an enemy using a melee weapon. Although one would |
| | think that the baseball bat would be required, I tested |
| | the other weapons and the lead pipe and police baton |
| | should also get you this execution style. If you use the |
| | execution trigger (standing or kneeling), it should also |
| | grant you the execution style. |
| | |
| | To do this, use the weapon (attacking) to bring a |
| | gangster to his knees. When prompted, press the execute |
| | button (default: V key on the PC). If you did it |
| | correctly, your character will put the bat behind the |
| | enemy’s neck and smash his (the enemy’s) face into his |
| | (your character’s) knee. You may also use a firearm to |
| | kneecap a gangster, then switch to the melee weapon and |
| | achieve this style as well. Overall, this is a really |
| | simple one to get. Maybe that’s why it was replaced by 13 |
| | different execution styles in the PS3/Wii/Xbox 360 |
| | versions. |
| | |
| | Reader Josh Allen also confirmed that using other melee |
| | weapons (in his case, the lead pipe) and the execution |
| | trigger will still award you with this style. |

| Name | Gut Shot Execution |

| Platforms | PC, PS2, Xbox |

| | |
| Description | Kill a standing enemy by using a large firearm and the |
| | execution trigger |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Triggered | Yes - Standing |

| Lethal | Yes |

| Items Required | A large firearm (Shotgun or Tommy Gun) |

| | |
| Strategy | Just as the Faceoff Execution (PC/PS2/Xbox) is the large |
| | firearm version of the Hats Off Execution (also |
| | PC/PS2/Xbox), this is the large firearm version of the |
| | Pistol Execution. Just about all the same tactics from the |
| | other three of these firearm execution styles apply to |
| | this one. Again, the only real difficulty you’ll face when |
| | attempting to get this execution style is that you may end |
| | up killing your target with the move that’s supposed to |
| | stun them. Also, make sure that you use the execute |
| | trigger while your target is stunned, but before they get |
| | all the way to the "kneeling" pose. Otherwise, you’ll end |
| | up doing the Faceoff Execution. There really isn’t much |
| | more to say about this one. Consult the "Hats Off," |
| | "Pistol," and "Faceoff" Executions (all PC/PS2/Xbox) for |
| | more tips about how to achieve this style. |
| | |
| | Once again, THIS INFORMATION APPLIES ONLY TO THE PC, PS2, |
| | AND Xbox VERSIONS OF THE GAME. |
