All you need to do is get behind your enemy and press the melee button, which is pushing down on the right stick on consoles and V on PC (obviously this may vary if you've changed your control layout or keybindings).

You unlock more by levelling up operators, who ech come with their own custom finishing moves.

However, if you are eager to pull off a finishing move, then you should be tactical about when you do it.

This is a little harder to pull off on the smaller maps of Vanguard. However, check out our best Vanguard maps to see which may suit best for finishing moves.
