Non-Lethal Takedown

Handcuff Takedown is a new feature of Battlefield Hardline. When equipped with a nonlethal melee weapon such as a bat or baton, players can perform a Handcuff Takedown in a manner similar to the Knife Takedown. The animation causes the victim to be laid on the floor handcuffed.

Players then have the option to either shoot and kill the victim or interrogate them for information, resulting in the location of all players on the opposing team to be revealed for 15 seconds. Afterwards, the victim will disappear and the player will be awarded a kill.
