Guide is perfect.
Although, I unlocked the achievement when I was shot down in the Buzzer and it crashed into a convoy vehicle.

I actually got killed trying to do this (I accidentally did it against one of the Pagans Wrath convoys and died AFTER I hit RS to start the hijack and still got the achievement.

But, thank you for this. I didn't realize it was a buzzard to car achievement (I didn't read it).

Just had another not pop, so could be down to LIVE issues. Had it happen before and it'll probably unlock randomly at some point.

Word of warning, when attempting this be careful of the rotor. Twice i killed the drive of a cargo truck by getting to close with the buzzer. Got lucky and a guy on a quad drove past and decided to sit there and let me do a takedown on him!!!

There is a Longinus mission up north where the lookout point for the guy you have to follow is next to a chopper. I found this was a really easy way to get the achievement because the trucks you follow for this have no turret gun. You can easily take out the driver of either truck on this mission once it tells you to move in for the kill.

It says takedown, not vehicle takedown. These achievement descriptions are terrible. They need to fix that crap. I was flying over their heads trying to land on them and get a takedown that way.

I actually managed to get a Death From Above off of a Buzzer during a random encounter karma mission. Obviously, this did not unlock the achievement, but I got it later anyway.

For this achievement, you will need to buy the Vehicle Takedown skill in the third column of the Tiger skill tree.

Now, you'll want to fast travel to Khilana Bazaar (X: 298.5, Y: 426.3). To the east of the base you will find a buzzer at the top of the hill.

Once inside the buzzer, ascend and fly around above the roads. This works best in an enemy area of the map. Eventually once you find an enemy controlled vehicle (convoy/atv/truck), you'll want to fly low and pull up right beside it! This will work from both side of the vehicle. Once you are next to it in the buzzer, look at the driver and use the cn_RS to preform a "takedown" which will take the character jump and hijack the vehicle and unlock the achievement.

There's a mission from Hurk in the latter part of the game that practically hands this achievement to you. I never could chase down and catch a random truck in the world.

If you are struggling with this achievement and you have "Hurk's redemption" DLC that is included with Limited and Collectors Edition of the game, or as a part of the "Hurk Deluxe" paid DLC pack, one of its missions literally requires you to do this, and sets the situation in the easiest way possible.

So, this is how it works, if you have said DLC.

- First, you need to get the "Vehicle Takedown" skill, located inside the Tiger skill tree, unlocked after completing one Kyrati Films Race, and costing 1 skill point.
- Next, you need to unlock the northern part of the map via story progression, as this mission is located there.
- This is the third mission of the DLC, called "A Familiar Feeling", heavily inspired in some Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock film.
- The first minutes of the mission require you to "get to the chopper", and then perform a takedown in a slow, slow, slow truck. Easy as pie.

This is a video showing the mission (not my video, credit to the uploader).

In order to obtain this Achievement / Trophy you will need to unlock the Vehicle Takedown perk and you can only obtain this after completing one of the races which are the Kyrati Films: Racing Mission's, you only need to do one race. Once you've completed a race apply the perk and go to the Khilana Bazaar Outpost to reach the Buzzer. Find an enemy Vehicle and lower the Buzzer next to the front of the car and hit cn_RS to perform a Takedown.

The below video shows how to get the Achievement.

Buy the 'Vehicle Takedown' skill, and then find and get onto a buzzer. One of these can be found at the outpost called 'Khilana Bazaar' (X:302 Y:424). Then while on the buzzer search for an enemy vehicle. When you find a enemy vehicle, fly next to the driver's door and press cn_RS to perform a takedown.

Acquire the VEHICLE TAKEDOWN SKILL for 1 point. You will always find a Buzzer at X: 305 Y: 423.

Enemy vehicles can be found randomly across the map but are not always easy to find. A good way to find one is to look for ROYAL CARGO or PAGAN'S WRATH missions. Once you find a vehicle, fly low and get close on the driver side. Press cn_RSc to perform the takedown.

First things first is that you want to go to the starting point of the racing missions which is in Banapur. Talk to the lady and she will give you the mission to go to the actual race. You need to complete these two things in order to be able to unlock the Vehicle Takedown skill. After this get in a Buzzard until you find a enemy vehicle, fly close to the drivers door and when prompted click in the right thumb stick, and boom, the achievement is yours!

This is way easier than it seems. The way they describe the trophy is poor. It should say vehicle take down. I jumped out of my buzzer getting death from above kills and was getting pissed it was't unlocking. Thanks for clearing it up.

Just wanted to suggest attempting this on cargo trucks.

I had so much trouble trying to get this on red vehicles because they usually have enemies ready and waiting to shoot. After they spot you, they not only begin shooting, but they all also change direction and begin pursuit. This was a problem for me because their vehicle kept stopping directly beneath my buzzer, making positioning the buzzer more difficult. Worse, once they're stopped, they get out, ending the takedown opportunity.

In comparison, cargo trucks continue on their journey, so they can be predictably pursued and approached. They also don't have armed enemies shooting at you. Just chase them down and take the achievement.

Once you have unlocked the vehicle takedown skill locate the buzzer which is always in the location shown in the video. Once in the Buzzer locate an enemy vehicle ( I found the easiest way to do this was locate a convoy on the map) and you need to get close to the front seat and press cn_RSr perform a vehicle takedown. The prompt should show when you're close but I just kept pressing cn_RSr whenever I thought I was close.

The video below shows me getting the trophy and I found I needed a couple of attempts.

The Buzzer is a small helicopter that can be found in many locations throughout Kyrat.


(The image above shows what a buzzer looks like)

For this trophy, you need to get a vehicle takedown from a buzzer, and not a death from above takedown. The "Vehicle Takedown" skill requires you to win a race to unlock it. If you haven't done that yet, see the Gearhead trophy for more info on how to play the races. Once it is unlocked, buy it for 2 skill points. With this skill you can perform takedowns using from vehicles. This skill is also needed for the Changing Lanes trophy. Now you have the skill, head to the "Kyrat Intl. Airport" (X:274 Y:608). There is a buzzer here next to the control center building. Now, fly straight ahead of you towards the main gates. Most of the time either a car or a convoy truck will drive up here towards the airport, and it will ultimately get stuck as it cannot get into the airport. This makes getting the takedown much easier. Now all you need to do is fly to the driver side door (left hand drive) and when you see the to takedown prompt on the screen, press it. If you have the Hurk pre-order / special edition DLC, in one of these missions you have to perform a Buzzer takedown as part of the mission. Credit to diagnonsense for that method. You'll jump off the buzzer and end up in the car, which will unlock the trophy. For a visual walkthrough, refer to the video below for more help.

There is a Hurk Mission you can do, called Familiar Feeling, where you have to do a vehicle take down from a buzzard. Then Pop you got your trophy! You'll need the north unlocked in order to start the mission.

First you need to open the “Murder on Transport” skill. Next, we board the Helicopter (there is one at point X 305.0 Y 422.8) near the first outpost and fly to any transport or convoy. We approach from the driver's side, press , we kill the driver, take his place and get the trophy.

According to the story mission and additional missions from Herk there will be such an opportunity.

I did it in co-op with a friend. Anyone who needs a trophy gets into a gyrocopter, and a partner jumps into any car. We are looking for an enemy in a vehicle, a partner who is driving a car, stands in front of the enemy and drives at low speed. The second one on a gyrocopter flies up to the driver’s door of the enemy and presses the signal .

R3 must be pressed at the moment when the corresponding icon lights up in the lower right corner of the screen.

Managed to get on an enemy with an ATV. He stood still and shot me. Since the damage from his pistol was minimal, he circled over him until he was able to jump over. The control of the gyrocopter, of course, leaves much to be desired.

A friend and I came to my co-op, found a convoy on the map, by the way (my friend was in a car, I was in a helicopter) they blew up 2 vehicles of the convoy, the last one was distracted by my friend! In the meantime, I completed the task.
In general, you can easily perform a solo by finding an enemy truck with ammunition! But in my case, unfortunately, it wasn’t found, but I did it anyway.

We managed to make an achievement quite quickly with the help of Pagan Min’s punitive squads. It is noticeably easier to get to their cars than to others, because the speed is lower.

You need to remove the shooters from the jeeps, find a helicopter (or make a quick transition to the city where there is a helicopter), and then finish off the battered punishers. Ideally, you get three cars that offer no resistance to you and move fairly slowly.

A total of three attempts, but most likely one will be enough.)
