Ranger Takedown

 is a special perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

It's acquired by winning a speech challenge from Ranger Andy after he tells you about his multiple leg injuries. It can also be acquired by completing an unofficial sidequest which requires you to check on Ranger Station Charlie and tell him what happened there.

Effects

 * While holding back and the attack key, the player performs an unarmed attack which will knockdown enemies.
 * It can also be performed with melee weapons as well. (Need confirmation?) Melee Backward Power Attack is the same with this ability.
 * An effective way to utilize this move is to wield a displacer or shock glove. as the weapon effect will still occur.
 * When playing in the standard first person view, the animation is a palm strike. But when you switch to third person it's karate leg sweep.
