Noun. A typically non-lethal, close-range move applied by New California Republic rangers of Fallout fame. The most common method consists of backing up, stopping completely, and quickly if not immediately preforming a leg sweep or full-palm strike. Can be used to trip opponents or otherwise send them flying backwards. Take care not to break your wrist attempting the latter maneuver.
I got raided by some Legionaries and had to pull a ranger takedown on their asses and run. Damn that Caesar.
Get the Ranger Takedown mug.
