How to unlock the Renegade achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide
I kept knocking them off the top and they would keep climbing back up.
When the achievement popped I killed them with the shotgun.
Prior to this I only had 1/5 so got 4 in quick succession.
Hope this helps someone.
I got this easily during the Soviet Installation section, Alone Again mission, when the objective is, "Climb the copper mill to reach the mine entrance".
As you climb the mill there will come a point where you take a ladder to the top of a water tower and have to jump off toward a red building and grab the ledge. Listen for the dialogue: "(via radio) Yeah, looks like we found a jackpot up here. All sorts of artifacts. It matches the description of the Soviet intel".
Jump to the ledge and watch the guy with the walkie talkie. After just a few seconds you'll see he stops at the edge of the platform, facing the other direction. Climb up, approach, and fire your gun next to him to alert him (don't hit Y immediately or you'll get a stealth kill and it won't count). Once he turns around and the insta-kill Y prompt is gone, just tap Y once to melee him off the ledge.
As soon as you get the exp for the kill just reload the checkpoint - you'll be right back on the water tower. Takes only 30 seconds for each one, so just a couple minutes in total.

Only difference is that I just run into him to get his attention instead of shooting.
Hope that helps.
The best solution if u already beat the game
I included a short clip. I found two enemies each on high towers, the checkpoint is immediatly before the first enemy so this is a great location. You can either kill the first enemy then reload checkpoint or go up and kill the second then reload
GEOTHERMAL VALLEY ON TWO TOWERS. I show the exact location on the map. Just remember to get the guys attention and not stealth attack and this bad boy will pop
When enemies stand near a ledge you must press to perform a melee attack with your axe. Each strike will knock them back a little further until they fall off the ledge. Replay the chapter "The Copper Mill" via Expeditions mode for this. You can do this against the first enemy group you encounter in the chapter. It can be farmed via checkpoint restart. Knock enemy off ledge, reload checkpoint and repeat but make sure you don't kill all 4 enemies else a new checkpoint will be made so only kill 1-3 enemies then reload. On Survivor difficulty you can attack them more often before they die (giving you a better chance to push them over the ledge). Also make sure the enemies notice you before attacking them. Otherwise you will perform a stealth takedown.

For this achievement, you need to use melee attacks to knock enemies off a ledge a cumulative total of five times. There are a number of places throughout the game that you can work towards this, but if you don't unlock the achievement naturally over the course of your main playthrough, you can use Expeditions Mode to replay suitable chapters. An example of a good location for this would be Copper Mill Yard in the Soviet Installation area. Once you've knocked an enemy off a ledge once, you can if necessary reload your latest checkpoint to repeat until the achievement unlocks.
Here's a video guide taken from YouTube to illustrate the achievement.

Also in this place it is very convenient to make 2 more trophies:
- Firestarter / Burn, burn clearly! (Kill 2 enemies with a Molotov cocktail).
- Bar Brawl / Brawl (Kill an enemy with a bottle).
Immediately after it, you will rise up.
According to the plot, there will be a mob with a walkie-talkie that can be easily dropped from a height.
Reboot 5 times - done!
