How to Non-Lethal Volgin

Use the CQC Throw and Roll Combo

The bread and butter of this non-lethal strategy is the CQC Throw and dodge roll combo. Simply get close to Volgin when he has an opening, then CQC Throw him unto the ground. Once he's down, roll over his body to do even more stamina damage.

Rinse and repeat this strategy for the rest of the fight. The best openings for a CQC Throw are when he does any of his ranged attacks or after he does his multi-charge attack.

Shoot Him with the Mk22 When He Powers Up

If you manage to pull off the first CQC throw and roll combo at the start of the fight, Volgin will start powering up. When he does this, rush him and shoot the back of his head with the Mk22 to deal a decent chunk of Stamina damage.

Stick Close to Volgin to Maximize Your CQC Opportunities

A lot of Volgin's attacks can be interrupted using a well-timed CQC throw. However, you'll need to stick close to him in order to pull one off. While it may be intimidating for new players, the best place to be when trying to non-lethal Volgin is right next to him.

Bait Out the Lightning Beam Attack for Easy CQC

While a bit difficult for newer players, one of the easiest ways to get a CQC opportunity is to equip and unequip your weapon when Volgin is standing. This baits out a lightning beam attack that you can easily dodge (by moving sideways).

During (and a bit after) the animation of this attack, Volgin will be open to a CQC throw. When you're clear of the beam, get close to Volgin and CQC throw him.

Wear the Mask to Get a Free CQC Combo

If you're really desperate, wearing Raikov's Mask will momentarily stun Volgin, leaving him open to a CQC throw. However, make sure he isn't electrified when you use the mask since you won't be able to melee or shoot him when he is.

Cold War
Effect Enemies from the Soviet side will hesitate to attack.

Performing a non-lethal takedown on Volgin rewards you with the Cold War Camo. Make sure to pick it up when it drops since it is missable if you fail to pick it up before the cutscene kicks in.

Tip: If you're quick enough, you can also equip the Cold War Camo as soon as you pick it up. This causes a lot of the soldiers to hold their fire during the sidecar sequence that immediately follows the fight.
