They need to be Rank 3 or 4. Rank 2 don't count.

Rank 2 should count. Just got it with a Rank 2 guy, distracted by companion, just walk up and punch it off

Rank 2 didn’t count for me when it was the goggle mask.

To unlock the Tip o' the Hat achievement in Far Cry New Dawn, you will need to find an enemy that is wearing a helmet (level 2+), select bare hands from the weapon wheel by holding LB, and then knock off their helmet using a charged melee attack by holding right trigger.

Tapping the right trigger will not work. You must hold the right trigger for it to be a charged attack.

I managed to get this from charge-punching a downed enforcer. Roughly aimed at the head, helmet came off and the achievement popped.

I found that I couldn't get this achievement with blue (level 2) enemies, but had to do it with purple (level 3) enemies. I used Wolfzero01's suggestion and did it at the Nick Rye rescue and got it straight away.

This doesn't need to be done with fists. You can do this with any melee weapon, like a baseball bat.

I earned this in
later in the game, swinging a charged attack with a metal pole at the last enemy.

To unlock the Tip o' the Hat trophy in Far Cry New Dawn, you will need to find an enemy that is wearing a helmet (level 2+), and use bare hands or any melee weapon such as a baseball bat to knock off their helmet.

Approach an enemy that is wearing a helmet, make sure you have bare hands or a melee weapon equipped by holding L1, hold R2 to charge the attack, aim towards the head and then release R2 to hit them and knock off the helmet.

Tapping R2 will not work. You must hold R2 for it to be a charged attack.

Here, most likely, it’s not “KNITTLE”, but “BREAK”. For a long time he tried to knock off the helmet, sneaking up behind the enemy. As a result, you stupidly hit the enemy over the head with a club, so that the helmet shatters into pieces.

The helmet can also be knocked off with a punch in rage mode.

A small nuance, the helmet must be knocked off with a blow from a baton.
If you throw the baton, the trophy will not count.
Also, masks don’t count, only helmets, which means you need to take hand weapons of at least blue quality (depending on the quality of the enemy), it’s better to use purple or legendary clubs.
The purple one can be picked up in the arena from the last raider.

99% of the time you will get it when completing a mission where you will need to fight in the arena.

There is another simple way. In the final missions, where you need to deal with the twins, you use rage, pick up a nearby weapon (a club, a shovel, etc.), run up to one of the twins who is wearing a helmet and hit her on the head, the helmet flies off 100% and 100 % the trophy is yours. I knocked it out the first time and my friend, on my advice, also knocked it out without any difficulty.
