How to unlock the This is a Knife achievement in DAYS GONE - Definitive Guide

The solution from DaveKinetic is ideal but if you missed this chance there are other easy ways.

Under the melee skills in tier 5 you can purchase the executioner skill which allows you to stealth take-down the larger Freakers or even finish them with the knife after breaking a grapple if you time it correctly.

Another way is to tag a Breaker with your binoculars which will bring up a health bar for the enemy. Then you can bring his health down until you are able to use your knife to finish him.

To unlock the This is a Knife trophy in Days Gone, you will need to kill a Breaker, Reacher or Rager with a knife.

The best place to unlock this trophy is during the story mission Playing All Night, where you enter the game's fourth region called Iron Butte for the first time. During the mission, you will encounter a Breaker that will display a health bar (normally they don't in the open-world).

Use your normal weapons to weaken the Breaker, and make sure that the final blow comes from your knife.

When against a breaker, throw a smoke grenade. If the creature is caught in the smoke radius, you'll be able to perform a stealth kill with the knife, provided you have unlocked the requisite skill.
NB: Probably doesn't work for the dreaded breaker boss fight in iron butte.

This video shows the easiest possible way to unlock this trophy. By completing it during the story mission 'MAYDAY! MAYDAY!' in the last third of the game you get a checkpoint immediately before attacking the bear. Should you die during the attempt the game will put you back to just before the fight. Also this bear has a health bar, so you don't need to guess how much health is left.

Easiest way is to get the level five skill that allows killing big baddies with the knife before "Playing All Night" mission. When the boss fight starts, just sneak behind the baddie (he has his back to you) and sneak attack.

The best way to get this is during 'Playing All Night' mission. It will be the first encounter with a Breaker and it acts as a mini boss so will have a health bar, making it very easy to gun down and use a knife towards the end. Breakers are big, muscular enemies that charge at you and tear Freakers apart. Reachers are fast enemies that will run at you and then hide. They have white fur on their backs. Ragers are infected bears with a lot of health. All 3 enemies come up during the story and will spawn in the world after you beat them for the first time.

If you decide to complete the trophy on a thug (for example, during the mission “All Night Long” in the “My Brother” storyline), then it will be enough to shoot him and at the end finish him off with a knife - the trophy will fall out.

An appropriate skill is required, in addition to missions, the Brute can also be found in the open world, the tactic is simple, I immediately threw a smoke bomb at the Brute and ran up from behind, press triangle and that's it.

If you didn’t have time to level up the perk for stealth killing, then it’s okay, at the average level of difficulty there were no problems at all with killing him with a knife at the first meeting! By the way, I killed a bear, but the trophy did not fall from it!

We are talking about a zombie bear. Killing a healthy bear does not count towards the trophy. Brute, sprinter and connecting rod - these are all types of zombies in the game)

You pump up the “Executioner” perk in melee, “Thief in the Night” in survival (just in case, he suddenly hears... and it won’t hurt in the future), you find Bruiser, they, like all freaks, walk in nature at night, and During the day, it’s also not uncommon to meet him, you sneak up on him from behind, press and the job is done. Without any shooting, throwing smoke grenades and everything else.

Completed the trophy while clearing Iron Butte (death region),
In the southeast of the region, near the tunnel there is a Nero station, after injecting the injector, as many as 3 thugs spawned in the location.
With the "Executioner" perk, everything is done very quickly and without problems.

Completed the trophy on the connecting rod bear, when in the story you go south.

2 easiest ways:
1) Level up the “Executioner” perk and kill secretly or in the smoke: throw smoke at the thug’s feet, and then he can be instantly killed by pressing . (the smoke method does not work on connecting rods). You don't have to waste consumables at all. If you haven’t been discovered yet, distract the thug with a stone, and sneak up from behind and also press
2) Beat the plot freaks, they have a health bar displayed, it’s easier to navigate: leave 1 mm of health, wait for the attack and dodge strike back with a knife.

In general, there are enough of these types of freaks in the open world, it’s just that the ordinary ones encountered in the open world do not have a health bar, and it is easy to overwhelm them and kill them ahead of time.

To take down a thug, you need to pump up the appropriate perk. According to the plot, there will be a mission in the camp of the reposers - by this moment you should have the perk pumped in. And when the thug comes out, you can easily sneak up and one-shot him.
