How to Perform Takedowns in Saints Row¶

Takedowns are a special ability you can perform in combat against pretty much any enemy with a red health bar (you’ll have to damage [Tough enemies] until their yellow armor bar is depleted before they’re vulnerable to Takedowns), just get close to a target enemy and press the / button.

Performing Takedowns will restore one health bar, but Takedowns have a cooldown. Your Takedown ability will recharge over time, but you can drastically speed this up by killing enemies. At its best there’s a flow in combat - perform Takedowns to restore your health and thin the herd, then kill enemies to recharge your next Takedown.

You’ll need to perform Takedowns on fifteen enemies from each of the game’s three opposing factions - Los Panteros, the Idols and Marshall, and while you can run up to enemies on the street and opportunistically perform Takedowns, you may find it easier to farm specific foes by replaying the @TCHA Side Hustle repeatedly. This allows you to choose exactly which faction you’ll be fighting, allows you to reset your Notoriety after you kill all the marked targets, limiting the scope of engagements to manageable levels, and it’ll earn you extra cash and XP every time you clear an @TCHA event.

This Challenge may be somewhat grindy, but it shouldn’t be difficult. You can, of course, make this even easier by lowering the game’s difficulty.
