How to unlock the Long Range achievement in Battle Los Angeles - Definitive Guide
In the first mission in the beginning when you go up a ladder and then crouch under a vent you can pick up a sniper. You will have more than enough ammo to kill 20 enemies. Just keep using the sniper and go for head shots or torso shots. Just stand far back behind cover and keep shooting enemies. They will keep respawning for a while. You should have more than enough enemies to kill in the first mission. If you don't get the achievement in the first mission, you will have more sniper ammo in the second mission.
Simply use the rifle and aim for the head or torso and get a kill. Repeat 19 more times. I found it obviously easier to do this on the easier difficulty level - make sure that you do have adequate cover as you aim.
The achievement should unlock on your 20th kill using the weapon.
I earned this achievement in the first level - there are more then enough enemies to kill. Also, if you are having difficulties, make sure you enable 'Aim Assist' in the options menu.

In Hard Difficulty (if not all the time) the sniper rifle will typically be your weapon of choice. It is almost always a better idea to hang back from your squad and pick away the aliens at a distance with your sniper rifle than to go charging at them with your assault rifle. While in Hard Difficulty, the aliens can survive quite a bit of assault rifle fire but are still vulnerable to a well aimed sniper shot, making this weapon a must use during that playthrough. You'll encounter 20 enemies very quickly in the game and will be able to knock this trophy out fairly early on in the first mission.
Tip: Turning Aim Assist "On" will make sniping easier.
