Alpha Protocol

There are 5 requirements for this acheivement :

- Befriend Grigori enough : if you use only suave answers, you will see only green lines in your mission debreifing, saying that there is no chance he will give you out. That will make sure Surkov doesnt pull a gun at you after you rescue him, nor will he send his bodyguard after you before you get a chance to talk when you catch up with him.

- During the mission "Intercept Surkov at US Embassy", after you first meet with Surkov, you'll climb up a ladder, in the next room/hallway you'll have a firefight which can distract you and make you miss Surkov's computer. Hack it.

- During the following mission, "Contact Surkov at Moscow Office" dont choose the PDA responses at all, or the convo will be shortened and you will be presented to his bodyguard sooner than usual.

- When you defeat Konstantin Brayko, let him live long enough for him to give you all the additionnal info he has on Surkov. That will unlock the real final Moscow mission (along with hacking his computer). When he's done and begs for his fife, you can then kill him if you want.

- Do NOT leave Moscow before you attempt the next mission ("Prevent Surkov's escape"), or else that extra mission will disappear. It's either a bug, or you were too late and he escaped. When you meet with Surkov again, accept his deal at first chance.

Bonus info (credits goes to Alita360) :
1) make a savegame just when you arrive at molotek, so after getting this chievo, you can reload that save and get the other chievo for killing Surkov. I suggest actually to kill him first and then reload and continue playing having him alive.
2) after clearing Molotek of enemies you'll face him. unlike the chievo for killing him, it is right now that you ally with him and the chievo will pop before you even finished talking to him.

*Slight spoiler*

You'll get to a mission where you're kind of chasing Surkov down and there will be a cutscene where his back is to you and he'll turn and start talking and offer a deal, if you accept the deal with him as soon as you get the chance the achieve will unlock right away. If you DON'T accept his offer and he runs towards the helipad you CAN'T get the achievement so reload a previous save. Accepting his deal on the helipad AFTER shooting him in the knee doesnt work for this achieve.

actually wanted to just let every one knw you can get this achievement if you dont accept his deal when talking to surkov when his back is turned choose attack and after the cut scene and you get out side to shoot him in knee pick execute and you should get it. I also had brayko as a friend and let him cut up surkov while I watched and still got achievement
