How to unlock the Head Hunter achievement in Alekhine's Gun - Definitive Guide
As mentioned in the Road Map, this is one of those trophies you will need to earn by Restarting Missions.
Load up Mission 1 and take out the first few dudes in the courtyard area. You don't have to be quiet about this one but it helps to do so as moving enemies that are shooting back are much more hassle to manage. With the 3 soldiers dead, hit the pause menu and select 'Restart Mission' to begin again at the start. Just take out the same guys again and the trophy will pop as soon as you bag your 30th headshot. Bear in mind that using your instinct () will negate kills so don't use it, you must get each kill using free aim.
You can use this same area to farm Garrote Kills and Chloroform uses, just slightly adapt your strategy to get closer to the soldiers whilst staying quiet.
To equip your pistol, press . To use it, hold and move to aim and press to shoot. You need 30 headshots to unlock this achievement.
If you haven’t unlocked this by the end of the campaign (if you are trying to unlock “Legendary” in your playthrough you shouldn’t have), there’s a spot at the beginning of Level 1, ‘Ghosts of the Past,’ where you can get this with minimal effort simply by reloading a save point.
At the beginning of the level, walk forward and crouch until it is safe to proceed. Go through the door on the left past the guard post into a tower and walk up the stairs (make sure you’re crouched or the guard at the top will hear you). At the top of the stairs, there is a guard sitting at a desk with his back to you. Switch to your gun, pause the game and “Save Game.” Now all you need to do is aim the gun at the guard’s head and shoot. Pause the game again and “Load Game” (do NOT save over this slot). Select the previously saved file and it will take you right back to that spot. Shoot the guard again and keep repeating until the achievement unlocks.
As for the described method described by KOM6AT_SLAVA, it may work, but the game is wildly buggy and it will crash from frequent reloads. And when you take off, the counter resets to 0.
BUT! there is a way.
Here I propose to get 3 trophies: for 30 headshots, 30 strangulations, 30 chloroform puts to sleep.
1 mission. We move by running but in stealth mode. We run straight, the first target is a military man who is heading towards the trucks, you can catch up with him and you won’t get burned. The second target is immediately to the left, standing at the gate. I propose to put them to sleep, and then we start handing out headshots. Distribute until you are killed, and when the menu appears, select RESTART MISSIN (this way the counter does not get lost). No improvement on noise reduction. More people will come running, more holes in Nazi heads))
I strongly recommend not to try to diversify euthanasia with strangulation! The game will crash anyway, so take turns knocking it out.
When you get the trophy for headshots and sleep (and after your game crashes), move on to choke. You can safely strangle 6x in one session. Then we make noise, death, mission overload. You will need at least 15 overloads for sleep, 5 for suffocation, and 15 for headshots (if you have very bad accuracy and this is your first 3rd person shooter) or 5 (if your hand is full of shooting).
