10 Skill Upgrades That BROKE Video Games
6. Chained Takedowns - Far Cry 3
Takedowns have been present in a multitude of ways throughout the Far Cry series, however, it is in their debut in Far Cry 3 that their game-breaking potential really comes to the forefront of things.
As later editions in the series would end up copying, Far Cry 3 features a plethora of different types of takedown, with the likes of pistol takedowns, deaths from above and below, knife throws and grenades allowing players to instantly kill any enemy unaware of their presence.
But it is with the game's chained takedowns that things really get ramped up, with the player being able to rack up the body count by jumping from enemy to enemy around them. Providing the player isn't spotted on the first kill and that there are enemies close enough around them, they will have the opportunity to chain together as many insta-kills as they like by simply pointing their analog sticks in the direction of their next opponent.
Far Cry 3 feels like a much brawlier experience than the later instalments in the franchise, the chained takedown is undoubtedly one of the most overpowered and useful skills to unlock for a player.
