Unique Moves
Turntable Takedown (Low Profile, Back)

The Executioner sneaks behind his target and grabs them from the hip, before lifting his victim into the air and smashing them into the ground, head-first. The victim's weight is directed to the back of their neck, snapping the spinal cord and killing them instantly.

Burying the Hatchet (Low Profile, Front)

The Executioner approaches his target from the front, before taking out his axe and swinging it into the side of his victim's neck. The force from the blow severs their spinal cord and jugular, instantly killing his unlucky target.

Culling Blade (High Profile, Back)

The Executioner grabs his target from behind and pulls them down to their knees, holding them in a firm grip, before raising his axe above his head with his other hand and digging it into his victim's back with force. He then frees his weapon by kicking his victim's body forwards with his foot.

The Chest Crasher (High Profile, Front) 

The Executioner runs at his target from the front, before removing his axe from his back and hacking at their chest with it. Afterwards, as he removes his weapon forcefully, his victim falls to the ground, dead from their wound.

Dead in the Dirt (Bench Kill)

The Executioner grabs his target by the head, before dragging them off the bench and throwing them down to the floor. As they attempt to lift themselves up, the Executioner swings his axe down, chopping into his victim's back and severing their spine.

Splitting Heads (Aerial Kill)

The Executioner leaps from a rooftop onto his target, while using the momentum from above to wedge his axe into his target's head, shattering their skull and cutting into their brain. He then brutally pulls out his axe and stands up, storing his weapon away as he leaves his victim's dead body laying on the floor.
