How to unlock the Trigger Discipline achievement in Aliens: Fireteam Elite - Definitive Guide

I got this today after reading some comments here and would like to add a couple of pointers.

Mission 1:1 is perfect for this as the encounters are relatively easy. I would recommend being a technician (Lvl 3+) with two bots, as random team mates tend to spin while shooting, throw grenades, or just generally make a mess.

Make sure to use the flame upgrade to your turret as it cannot damage the bots, and any upgrades that reduce its cool down time.

I also found that starting with 3 electro grids and 3 cyro grids worked well and they do not cause friendly fire, even if they explode directly under a bot.

Be careful to only shoot enemies that are far away (to avoid acid friendly fire splashes) and make sure you do NOT use the overload rounds on the shotgun, as the explosive blast for a headshot will count as friendly fire.

One specific thing is try to save one cryo grid for the last 60 seconds of the final elevator defense, you may want it for slowing down the warrior so you can leg it to the elevator (only you need to make it).

Stick behind the fire turret and dodge away when needed, good luck all.

P.s. this is my first guide so hopefully it's okay. Let me know if you have any questions or something doesn't work

Woo-hoo ! Achievement unlocked!

My few additonal tips:
--- Level up your preferred class and guns to max.
--- Play through the campaign on INTENSE. This will teach you to avoid friendly fire, and you might just unlock this achievement naturally.
--- If you accidentally shoot an AI teammate, finish the mission anyway. Keep practicing the art of avoiding friendly fire and playing on INTENSE.
Plus, you'll need the credits and scrip to buy items from SSGT Park's shop.
Plus, when completing a mission on INTENSE or higher, you have a chance of earning a gun, attachment, color, decal or emote that you cannot buy from SSGT Park.
--- Position yourself up against cover when firing "straight" down range. This greatly reduces the chance of an AI jumping into your line of fire without warning.
--- After a few tries, and you feel confident enough, use a bonus card such as the "Magnificent Weaponry" card that boosts gun damage by 35%. It's worth it to unlock an achievement.

Be diligent. This is a fun and satisfying achievement to earn.

Agree with thw OP.

I got to final fight with 1 bot as one died. 3 turrets and 3 static grids 3 turrets i brought. 3 from the mision plus my flame turret at the front.

3 grids to lock xenos in place in front of turrets. My second bot died to warrior and i spent last 20 seconds doing laps of the elevatpr waiting for it to open.... flame turret dealing with bugs.

Remember all you have to do it survive and no friendly fire. Lets synths and turrets do the work.

Shoot.Very. Sparingly.

As an extra point. The challenge card that makes you stand sill to shoot seemed to help ( stop the bots running in front of you when they are shooting).

Also. Dont shoot exploding bugs. Even if you dont finish them off. You may 'contribute' to the kill when it hurts your bot. I left my bots to deal themselves and take the hit (and i even shut down my turret so it didnt contribute to friendly fire)

Great solution, got it first time. Previously thought bots would be too hard but I guess I was underestimating how much damage they can soak up and give out. Mine survived right until the lift at end, had about 20 secs of kiting a warrior and was done.

Just to add my two cents... I followed the OP's guide (great guide BTW) and used the Technician with the flame upgrade. Also had 3 static grids and 3 cryo grids. Your Charged Coils also come in very handy in slowing down enemies so your flame turret can torch them. One thing that made this a LOT easier? I used the 'Human Tanks' challenge card that doubles your hit points so it made it a breeze. I hardly fired a shot. I laid down my flame turret and threw the coils and the bots did the rest.

Great guide. Used all the suggested items and only sprinkled in a few standard turrets found during 1:1. Saved all my kit cryo and electric grids for the final fight. Got it on the first try and only lost 1 Synth Bot at maybe 7 seconds left. Absolute best thing to remember the whole stage is DON'T SHOOT. I didn't fire one round. Kite everything.

So A+ on The guide. Only thing I did different was taking in fire sentry guns and sentry guns. Laid out a grid to support my flame turret on the final fight and it went fine considering I'd lost both my bots by then. Lol I actually found it easier without them. No friendly fire if there are no friendlies.

Just got this today on my own with two bots that didn't die just followed the first guide the only thing I say is buy some electric turrets and 3x cryo grids and save the turrets you get out the boxes to the last fight which is the lift ,and also I stayed right at the back of the lift and put 3 turrets to the right and three to the left layed down some cryo grids then put my flame turret down and stayed near that and just watch your bots kill everything really really easy and then used my charged coils when needed and didn't fire a shot .

2-3 is also a good one. Because there's loads of synths a lot of it is spent cover shooting and fewer occasions of getting mobbed.

My tip is to use the smart gun and only fire ADS. It will not let you fire at a friendly at all.

To clear things up. Even if the bots shoot each other or you by mistake you will still get the achievement.

I am happy to confirm this also unlocks in point defence on Intense difficulty. I did not even know this was possible until it popped unexpected. I loaded up a level with randoms and it was hectic as hell, we won, somehow nobody shot each other and the achievement popped the moment it ended. I have no idea if it also applies to horde or restock turrets but it unlocked for myself and another random during the same session so it wasn't just a glitch for me, we both got it.

How I did it.
1. Point Defence.
2. Intense difficulty.
3. I ran a recon (class is irrelivent)
4. Through the power of prayer somehow nobody shot each other.
5. Boom.

Obviously this is not a proper guide more of an awareness raiser for a very difficult achievement in mission mode. I've played intense many times and never gotten the job done so it's comforting to know that it can be done in at least one other mode. Potentially more, hopefully. Please comment below if this worked for you too it would be most welcome.
