Quick answer
Pick-Axe Execution Quick Answer
How Pick-Axe Executions Work
Weapon equipped
The execution belongs to the Pick-Axe family.
Target setup
Execution availability may depend on the target's current state and the game's execution conditions. Extra thresholds are listed only when they are confirmed for this family.
Execution interaction
A weapon execution is different from finishing the victim with a normal Pick-Axe attack.
Environment object not required
If the prompt comes from a cash register, car, wall, telephone or another object, that is an Environment Execution instead.
How to Perform a Pick-Axe Execution
Only confirmed family steps are listed. Extra Stalk, Bloodthirst or grab thresholds are not published here until they are confirmed for this family.
Equip the Pick-Axe
The cinematic execution belongs to the equipped Pick-Axe.
Reach the weapon execution interaction
Use the weapon execution system, not an environment-object prompt and not a regular attack.
Use the execution input shown by your current control binding
Do not copy a third-party key or button list. Rebinds and platforms differ.
Confirm a Pick-Axe cinematic execution plays
If a regular attack finishes the target, that is a normal kill, not this execution family.
Normal Pick-Axe Kill vs Execution
Normal Pick-Axe Kill
Victim dies from a regular Pick-Axe attack.
Pick-Axe Execution
Weapon-specific cinematic execution system is triggered.
If an Achievement or Challenge explicitly says “execute” or “execution,” do not assume that an ordinary weapon kill satisfies it.
