How to unlock the ... But No Cigar achievement in Aliens Colonial Marines - Definitive Guide

An alternative solution which you can do solo.

While playing through the campaign you can get this without much hassle.

Playing through Mission 09 - Hope In Hadley's, you will be tasked with making your way to Operations and saving Marines along the way. I personally obtained this achievement by killing an Alien that pounced on top of an AI controlled Marine. The exact Marine is fighting an Alien and you have to cut the door open to get to him. It's not hard to miss, it's right next to the first dog tag of the mission.

Worked perfect and easier than dealing with 2 controllers.

This can be done split screen with 2 controllers.

Load up Mission 2 - Battle For Sulaco in campaign co-op.

A couple of minutes in, get to the part almost immediately after you open the huge door with the power-loader.

You will need to head right at the bottom of the first room with the eggs. Send player 2 just inside the corridor - when he gets to the end a face-hugger will jump out at him. Using a shotgun, just shoot him in the face, killing the face-hugger. Don't worry, player 2 will be immune to a shotgun in the face.

You need to be quick or else player 2 will die. In which case reload the checkpoint and try again...easy :)

This can be done in a co-op mission or in multiplayer. In co-op, you can easily have this by the middle of the second mission. The first mission, an alien can attack your partner and start a grab animation (where they're about to use their second mouth to bite them). Shoot the alien point blank with the shotgun for the achievement. In the 2nd mission, you can shoot a facehugger while your friend is pressing  from a close encounter for the cheevo as well. In multiplayer, when a teammate is pinned by a lurker, shoot or melee it before they're killed for the achievement.

You will need another person for this. A "Close Encounter" is defined as a sequence whereby you must repeatedly press a button to escape (typical examples include being grabbed by a Facehugger or pinned down by a Lurker). When your teammate is in one of these sequences, kill the enemy before your partner breaks free or is killed and the trophy will unlock. The easiest place in the Campaign to get this is in the first chapter, Distress, in the area where you first encounter the Facehuggers. Simply allow one to grab your partner then kill it.

On the Home map there will be a place where, in a small room with a welded door, a lone Marine is shooting into the ventilation shaft. The door needs to be opened into this room, after which a xenomorph will attack the soldier and you will have a wonderful opportunity to get this trophy.

The hint above is not correct. Where we need to save the Marines, this is episode 9, somewhere we are saving the Marines. But when you save a Marine who is locked by a door, you must prepare your weapon to open the door and kill the lurker.
