How to unlock the Assault Rifle Marksmanship achievement in Alpha Protocol - Definitive Guide

This achievement is awarded for 100 head shots with Assault Rifles. It is not clear whether or not they need to be head shots which result in kills and/or head shots which are also critical hits. You will be facing far more than 100 enemies in the course of the game so there is plenty of opportunity to work on this achievement.

In my first playthrough of the game on Hard difficulty, I earned this achievement while working on the second of the three non-linear mission areas. I made heavy use of the "Subsonic" round type - if you select your targets in the right order, you can clear an entire room without the enemies becoming aware of your presence.

I got the 50 of these perk on a non-lethal, non-critical head shot on a boss, so I assume the achievement would be the same.

Different from the other weapon achievements, you need to get 100 head shots with the assault rifle. While it will make it much easier if you wait for your crosshair's to turn red, similar to the pistol or shotgun, it's not required. As long as you get a head shot, it will count towards this achievement, even if you don't wait for a critical hit. Make sure you focus on accuracy and accuracy increasing mods, so as to make this much easier to obtain.

If you have invested into the assault rifle tree, using the Focus Aim skill will make this achievement much easier. It will automatically lock-on and track the closest enemy, so you need only to alter your aim to get a head shot.

You will unlock the perk "Assault Rifle Precision" after scoring fifty headshot's.

The description says "head shots", however it will only count head shots that kill the target. They do not have to be critical hits, but it is still the most efficient way of delivering lead to your enemy's face. At the halfway mark "Assault Rifle Precision" will unlock, leaving only 50 head shot kills to go.

Only those “headshots” that end in the death of the opponent count. A headshot does not have to be delivered with critical damage, but it is advisable, since it is guaranteed to lead to the death of the victim.

- the discovery of the "Assault Rifle Precision" perk indicates this. that 1/2 of the way to the trophy has been completed;
- important: the trophy must be obtained within one playthrough because the new game resets all statistics and progress of the trophy.
