How to unlock the Down Boy! achievement in Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

Can be done on any map with ziplines. I did it on Beach. I recommend shooting your opponent a few times to lower their health and then have them proceed to zip down the line. Once they're sliding down, shoot them again and as soon as they're dead the achievement will pop.

To clarify, your bullet must kill them, not the fall.

Upvoted but you should revise to clarify that you cannot "down" someone on the line and then have them fall to their death. Explaining the shooting them before they zip part of your solution. Also they can get a one shot kill with a high-powered weapon.

I have won this today with a boosting partner and actually the one on the zip line does not have to move at all as far as we had observed it. My boosting partner was just hanging there when I remember right or he was moving very slowly with the left stick but did definitely NOT press x to zip fast. We did it on beach: "Victim" was injuring himself down the center zip line in the fire and I also shot him 1-2 times. Then he grabbed zip line and stayed in this position. I did a clean headshot with the bow and killed him right on the spot. My boosting partner tried it with the shotgun. I was not instantly killed but fell down and landed in this near death animation. When the timer ran out, my friend also got the achievement!

Forgot to say: You can be more precise with the bow by pressing RT and LT simultaneously while aiming and you can also change your stance to get a better shot by pressing the left stick. I also bought a damage upgrade for the bow.

I am creating a group for those who are looking to boost the online achievements, send me a message via XBox and I will add you! (360 version ONLY, not the Definitive Edition version on GamePass)

Best map to do this on is chasm. There are two long zip lines coming from each base, so faction is not an issue. Make sure you are using one of the bows (for an easy ohk). Achievement should pop right after you get the kill.

It should be noted that if a player takes damage while riding a zipline they will automatically fall off. There was one instance where I shot a guy with a rifle and he fell off and fell to his death but I didn't get the achievement. You have to do a one-hit kill to get this achievement, so only a bow or shotgun will work (unless you are lucky enough to explode a nearby barrel just as they start or end their zipline)

From what I have seen people stay off of the Zip Lines to avoid this happening to them.

My boosting partner was just hanging there when I remember right or he was moving very slowly with the left stick but did definitely NOT press x to zip fast. We did it on beach: "Victim" was injuring himself in front of the center zip line in the barrel fire and I also shot him 1-2 times. Then he grabbed zip line and stayed in this position. I did a clean headshot with the bow and killed him right on the spot. My boosting partner tried it with the shotgun. I was not instantly killed by him but fell down waking in the near death animation where you can get revived. When the timer ran out, my friend also got the achievement, so when this happens it counts as a kill you just have to wait a few seconds!

As you must kill an enemy and not just take him down, the best way would be to be at the end of the zipline with a shotgun and shoot as soon as the enemy reaches a fatal distance, it is easier in Private Match with a friend.

To zip-line, a player must hold  while on it. Shooting a player off will not count, the player must die. They will most likely already have to be injured for this to happen. 

Online private match boostable (2 players required)

Shoot the other player and have them start using the zip-line. Shoot them quickly while they are on it to kill them.

Note: Solarii Character Faction are the only ones who can zipline.

You have to kill a player that is zip-lining. You need to kill the player before they reach the ground. You will probably get this trophy early in multiplayer but if you don’t, it can be boosted in a private match.

Please check Boosting Thread (PS3) or Boosting Thread (PS4) to find partners.

Despite it says "Kill a zip-lining enemy", you can kill an enemy player that is using the rope ascender tool. Just stand near the upper part of the zipline, equip a shotgun or similarly strong weapon and wait for your boosting partner to jump on the zipline and use his rope ascender (rope ascender is available for any player in FFA matches). Blast him away as he reaches the top.

So as not to worry, we create a private match and boost! We take a pistol, a friend hangs on a rope and hits the head! Tested, it works!

The only way to kill an enemy descending on a cable is to kill him with one shot, because... If you just start shooting at the enemy, he will instantly jump down. In this game, only the bow can one-shot, so we take: the Bow (preferably the Survivor’s Bow or the Brotherhood’s Bow) and put the “Damage” and “Draw” modifications on it. We need maximum damage and minimum maximum tension time. After this, we launch “Team Battle”, select the Brotherhood and go to the “Gorge” map. Immediately after the start of the match, we run along the left side of the map and hide behind the house closest to the cliff and the place where the Survivors spawn. There is still such a climb up and there is ammunition. A rope leads to this house, along which the Survivors leave the republic. We aim so that the rope is under our complete control and wait for the Survivors to start leaving the respawn, take a little lead and shoot. The achievement is in our pocket!

The easiest way to do this is in a closed game when you are boosting other achievements (such as killing 20 enemies with turret fire). Your partner stands under the cable (at the bottom of the cable so that he doesn’t slip), you shoot at him, leaving one hit before killing him (for example, 3 times from a machine gun - the 4th kills), then he jumps up and hangs on the cable, you shoot at him again and kill him accordingly. Achivkavasha.
