How to unlock the Ambush achievement in Batman: Arkham Knight - Definitive Guide

As already mentioned, Batgirl can trigger certain devices with the Remote Hacking Device which can scare enemies, allowing you to perform takedowns (with X) on them for the duration of their fear. You're given a tutorial of this right at the start of the DLC.

If you're lucky, you'll get it done during the tutorial, but I've found the best place to get it is when rescuing a hostage inside the ship (you enter by using a crane to break open the hatch).

As stated in the achievement description, this must be done in a single encounter, so you have to takedown 4 enemies during one specific fear event. (Edit: Some people have reported that they have managed the achievement accumulatively, as in by doing one or two in one area and the rest in another. This appears to work for some people but not for everyone.)

Rather unnecessary video below, giving you an exact guide on where and how I did it. (I reloaded and redid the section in order to record it, so the achievement was already earned)

For some reason, I didn't need to do this all at one time. I got three in the tutorial, then the achievement popped when I got one guy at the ferris wheel. I don't feel bad because I had no problem getting four guys where you did in the video.

Yeah, I have heard mixed ideas on that. A few people have mentioned they managed to get it done across more than one area, but it doesn't seem to happen for everyone (didn't work for me). The achievement description itself says it has to be done in a single encounter so I'm guessing it's a glitch of sorts.

As Batgirl, you’ll have the ability to trigger environmental objects/machines with the Remote Hacking Device and scare any enemies in the area for a short amount of time. This allows Batgirl to perform a “Scare Takedown.”

Towards the beginning of the playthrough, there will be a short tutorial on this new feature/ability where you’ll be asked to hack a machine inside the amusement park. Do so and this will frighten a large group (around 4-6) of enemies, thus allowing you to perform a takedown while they’re panicking. After the first takedown, pan your camera around, target the next enemy, and perform another takedown; then do this again twice more. It’s worth noting this essentially plays out the same as Batman’s “Fear Takedowns.”

If for some reason you miss this achievement during the tutorial, then there will be another easy opportunity to snag this while rescuing the hostage inside the Ghost Ship. After opening the first door inside the ship, turn the corner, activate detective vision, and you will notice a group of five enemies standing around the hostage and a device that can be hacked. If you haven't already obtained the achievement during the tutorial, this is the next and last place you'll be able to grab it.

The first opportunity when climbing the drilling rig, there will be more enemies than required for your choice, we hack using a remote hacker and quickly hit four enemies and the trophy is yours.

It is completely cumulative. Those. You can do it one person at a time, restarting not only from a checkpoint, but even starting a new game.

Along the way, the trophy is cumulative, because... I got it after I first knocked out 3 enemies using this method, and after 30-50 minutes 2 more and after that the trophy fell out.
