Just wanna say, this is bullshit. I'm running the same way, shooting the same guys, and yet I'm yaking damage from somewhere, and I die.

And I'm doing it on easy. Fuck Dice and their shit games, talk about a shitty campaign.

I'm getting hit like twice and getting fucked up this achievement is bullshit, then on the second try I didn't even kill any of the cops in the smoke and didn't take a bit of damage but that was just a test run I still have to restart the mission.

I'd advise anyone to run past the right side of the street- shoot the cops in your way in front of the bus, toss a grenada at the van and shoot a clip at the cops getting out of that van. Rest of the way just run, you've got time to take out the last guy as well if you want.

Great solution! Thumbs way up! For those having trouble, notice that he has a lot of extra time. If you get shot, go prone for a few seconds and get some health back. Also, that last enemy you saw before the bus is always good to eliminate just for good measure.

As MadeToKill says just sometimes take cover to recover your health and shoot a few guys then leg it from cover to cover.

Did not work. Always getting shot from behind, and on my 5th attempt now. Easy Achievement? Hell no it isn't.

@MavericRenegade, I stopped, and it costed me too much time. How is this even possible? Sadly, I have been doing it on easy, and yet still no achievement. They still do way too much DMG, PLUS there is no easy path to getting this achievement.

Got it on my first attempt. I recommend tossing a grenade by the cop cars at the start of the chase and spraying the area with bullets (same for the SWAT van halfway through the chase). If you're getting shot, try to zig zag and use parked cars as shields.

i died once before you go outside and start the street chase and still got the achievement, so i guess you need to restart the whole mission only if you die during the street chase

This is bull, I have tried doing this achievement a million times and there's no way you can kill just a couple of guys and rush through, because I get killed every time.

Also you can't die, because if you do you have to restart the whole mission, you can't just load last checkpoint.

This was a very easy achievement. Got it first try than did it for a friend first time, i don't get what all the fuss is about, you have plenty of time, you can even take cover pretty often and still get this with plenty of time. Just watch the heavies is the only thing I can think of

Confirmed, you can't die, if you do, you have to restart the whole mission. Just do it on easy, run on the left side, kill the cop after through the rubble and dust, if you take fire, hide in the left side in the part that's flat w/ the fence on the side, right after that kill the last guy behind the car just before you run over where he shoots the rpg at you in the tunnel.

I had to run to the right at the beginning, then cross the street to the left in front of the large group of police. I went on and laid down at the stairs to kill the cops following me, and got it without a problem. This is a frustrating achievement and I wish all of you luck!

You can also copy a save before you start to get timed for the chase, (there is a check point by the elevators). to a different storage device and if you fail the achievement, you can dashboard and copy that save point back you your other storage device. I just tried this and it worked. It's a lot faster then having to start from the very beginning of the stage.

I struggled with this achievement when the game came out. I came back to it and on my second try, I got it and followed it just the video. I did get shot multiple times in the back and had a red screen after the debris came down on the left side of the street. Now that I look back at it, it wasn't that hard, just had to find an easy path in all that gunfire.

I tried this solution a couple of times and it wouldn't pop, so I restarted level and made sure I did not die at any point during the mission or reload any check points then followed the video for the street chase and the achievement unlocked.

Thumbs up is for the video only, cheers

Stick to the extreme right of the street. Much easier than the left.

Extreme right seems easier, though I have not yet done the achievement (have done the run on a practice, after I died the first time).

Also, can I just add: This achievement is bollocks. Thanks ;-)

Thank you for the guide, I went to the left just like in the video and I got it first try! I can see dying a couple of times just sprinting through. Shooting a few guys along the way helped me out a lot since there was time to spare.

Great video, thanks for the advice. Only thing that frustrated me was having to restart the mission if you die. Otherwise it's not too painful on easy as long as you work your way down the street throwing grenades at the car that shows up.

Accomplishing the achievement this way is 98% luck. On my first attempt, I was apparently the only thing with legs carrying a firearm and died before I even got to the crumbling building. On my second attempt, I missed the police officer in the way and just bolted past, taking damage from him all the way to the stairs but never died, then turned in front of a terrorist right before the cutscene, and would have been toast had I taken a fraction of a second longer to get there than I did.

Actually, you CAN die, but not at the chase outside.. I died twice on my way to the chase, i even died just before you go outside, where everyone is running outside and 2 guys remain who shoot at you.. You just can't die at the chase, i did my chase just as in the vid and i still got the achievement..

Achievement: The Professional
Difficulty: 4/10
Notes: Rush
Spoilers: **YES**

This achievements is in the mission "Comrades". As soon as you go out on the stairs outside chasing the target, that is when the timer begins. This is very easy on Normal, so I can't imagine how easy it is on Easy, haha. Basically, never take cover, always run-and-gun. I suggest using the Ak-74 you start out with in the beginning of the mission, no point using the silenced weapon since you are making yourself overt to the enemy, and the fact that the silenced gun (still can't figure out the name of the gun, haha) only has twenty-one bullets; the 74 has thirty-one bullets. Rush down the street to the guy until you reach the cutscene where **SPOILER** one of your teammates are blown up. Afterwards, going down the small tunnel to the stairs, you should unlock the achievement now, so if you didn't unlock it, you must restart the whole mission again. I honestly got it the first "try", even though I didn't even know this achievement existed upon getting it, haha. So remember; DO NOT DIE, and don't just gun it completely. When you enter the street, you will come across police, kill them quickly and then run-and-gun with the '74!

Please leave comments if I need to correct anything.

If you die during the chase it is not enough to start from the last checkpoint. You have to restart the mission !

Two comments:

You might as well dump the silenced gun at the beginning of the level as it appears to have the accuracy and effectiveness of a nerf gun - I swapped it for a UMP-45 which was easier on the street section than even the AK you have as well.

And the only 'tough' bit on the street is the 5 police that jump out the back of the van that arrives at the junction - they seem to be better armed and armoured than the rest. As you probably won't have used your grenades during the mission, one or two aimed at the back of the van as it stops will deal with them quite easily.

Once you figure out where to go, this achievement is very easy.

The street chase starts after you leave the bank area and start chasing the courier in the streets. Pull out your secondary weapon, the one with the 4x scope. Gun down the cops that are waiting at the end of the bank plaza. Run to the left side of the white van ahead. There will be two cops directly in front of you, and another wedged in between two cars to your right. Gun them down.

Now, keep left and run past the bus, then dive for the white car in the middle of the street. There is one cop to the right, two directly in front of you, and two to your left. Take them all out quickly, preferably in that order, but BE CAREFUL NOT TO DIE. The bus you just ran past is a save checkpoint, so if you die now, you won't get the achievement.

Once you've taken them out, run quickly up the left side of the street. Ignore the SWAT van that shows up, just keep running up the left. From here, you shouldn't have to worry about any more cops. Veer off to the right, and try to catch the courier. The achievement should pop after the cutscene where (SPOILER) your friend gets blown up.

In the mission "Comrades" when you chase down the nuke carrier, the chase starts from when you run into the police crossfire. Quickly advance up the side of the street, taking out the police reinforcements ASAP. The chase ends when the nuke carrier fires the RPG out of the tunnel, and your achievement will unlock if you completed in time.
