Let's work through the campaign's achievements without letting a single one slip through the cracks. Your platinum-worthy era starts now! Below, we detail each campaign achievement, how to unlock them, and tips to do so. Achievement How To Unlock Tips Hold The Line Complete the campaign on any difficulty. Play on Recruit for an easier first run. Use this playthrough to collect notes, complete mission-specific challenges, and unlock difficulty-based achievements. Was It Worth It? Complete the campaign on Realism difficulty. Realism unlocks after your first campaign completion. Enemies deal heavy damage and HUD assistance is limited, so stay in cover, peek carefully and avoid unnecessary fights. Skeet Shooting Kill 10 paratroopers in Mayhem before they hit the ground. Aim at the descending paratroopers as soon as they appear. Prioritize targets still in the air and use an accurate weapon to avoid wasting shots. Safety's On Defeat every enemy in the kitchen of Out in the Cold without firing your gun on Hardened or harder. Use stealth takedowns and melee attacks rather than shooting. Move carefully through the kitchen and make sure every enemy is defeated before leaving the area. Can't Touch This Defeat Makarov on Veteran difficulty or higher without getting hit in the alley. Stay mobile, use cover, and avoid exposing yourself for too long. Learn the encounter's enemy positions and restart the checkpoint if you take damage. No Stone Unturned Confiscate all contraband and read every note in Following Orders. Search every room, cabinet, and container before progressing. In the first house, investigate the locked box and collect the nearby note and contraband. Question civilians about the items you find. No Harm Done Obtain the defector's location in Following Orders without hurting any civilians. Keep your weapon pointed away from civilians and never attack them. Use dialogue options to get them to cooperate. This can be completed alongside No Stone Unturned. Bullet Train Kill 50 enemies while standing on train cars in Hired Gun. Stay on top of the train cars while fighting and track your progress throughout the mission. Prioritize enemies you can safely target from your elevated position. Raining Thunder Kill 15 enemies with three mortar rounds in a row in Losing Ground. Aim mortar strikes at groups of enemies rather than isolated targets. Wait for enemies to cluster together and adjust your aim between strikes to maintain a high kill count. Revenge Kill every enemy after Shin dies in Assassins on Hardened or harder. Once Shin dies, eliminate all remaining enemies instead of sneaking past them. Use cover to manage the firefights. This conflicts with Pacifist, so plan a separate attempt. Pacifist Complete Assassins by killing only one enemy. The story forces one kill, which counts toward your limit. Avoid all optional combat and use stealth, distractions, and alternate routes to bypass enemies. Follow the bunker route rather than fighting through the mission. Time to Crate Open every yellow supply crate in Stranded. Search every accessible area before advancing. There are 25 yellow supply crates in the mission, so use a checklist or a crate-location guide to avoid missing any. Scavenger Repair everything in Base Camp. Collect supplies throughout Stranded. You need to repair four items: three items on a table costing five supplies each and a silenced assault rifle by the door costing 25 supplies. Save enough supplies to repair all four. Incoming! Destroy every vehicle reinforcement at the SAM Site in Stranded before the soldiers unload. Focus on incoming vehicles as soon as they appear. Explosive drones can help destroy vehicles quickly before the troops disembark. Prioritize this objective over ordinary enemies. Long Shot Snipe all four enemies firing mortars in Counter Attack. Use your sniper rifle to identify the mortar operators and eliminate all four. Scan the surrounding positions carefully before progressing past the encounter. Never Forgotten Recover the Dog Tags in Escape. Explore side rooms and check areas away from the main objective path. Search thoroughly before leaving each section so you don't miss the collectible. Trench Broom Kill 15 enemies with a shotgun in Entrenched before securing the Target Building. Equip a shotgun before the mission's main combat sequence. Keep track of your kills and eliminate enough enemies with the shotgun before completing the target objective. Noteworthy Read 50 different notes. Read every note you encounter, particularly in Stranded, which contains most of the collectibles. Notes in Following Orders also count toward No Stone Unturned. Keep a running checklist of what you've collected.
