How to unlock the Apex Predator achievement in Titanfall 2 - Definitive Guide
I was right in front of guy, went into cloak and he started looking around, got quickly behind him and click held down the right stick and killed him.
No video necessary imo, it is more about which buttons to push.
- when you reach the first 2 soldiers, push L1 to become cloaked
- then get close enough to the right soldier, push and hold R3 to make a melee attack
Mission Select: BT-7274
This trophy can only be done as a Pilot where you need to perform a melee takedown while cloaked. The cloak is a Pilot Tactical Ability that allows you to become invisible for a short period of time. It's first made available to you during Mission 2: BT-7274. A takedown is really an execution by performing a melee attack when behind an enemy. These executions will always play a short animation. It should be noted that that normal melee attacks will not count as an execution due to them being standard melee attacks.
To perform an execution press to use the cloaked tactical ability, stealth up behind an enemy with his back facing you and then [Hold] to execute the enemy. You'll know when you're close enough to perform the execution when an on-screen message prompts you to do so.
This trophy can be done virtually anywhere that allows you to sneak up behind a few enemies or who are alone. The best place and first opportunity are during Mission 2: BT-7274 when you need to find the first battery. The first group of enemies that you'll encounter near a cliff will eventually turn their backs on you, as they aren't aware of your presence.
A melee takedown occurs when you are behind an enemy and hold the melee button down when in melee range. To cloak, you'll press . So, when you find an enemy that is not aware of you, pop your cloak and run up to assassinate them. There are dozens of chances to do this throughout the campaign.
