How to unlock the Shawshank achievement in Battlefield 4 - Definitive Guide

The very begining is a perfect opportunity for this. You don't have a choice for your first kill but to use your shank to melee kill it.

You can then pick up his weapon for further use, but just don't right now. You'll be in a dark room with about 5 or 6 more soldiers you can silently melee kill from behind. Walk along the wall, killing them one by one and stay out of the light.

Does this have to be done on a certain difficulty? I killed about 7 guards but the achievement didn't pop.

I don't think so, but I myself did it on normal, maybe if you're on the easier setting it could be that. Or, another of their countless glitch in this game...

At the beginning of Mission 5: Kunlun Mountains, you'll be given a shank and then told to shut off power in a tower. Just draw your shank, and sneak around the the outside of this area, trying to stay out of sight from the enemies. Sneak up to enemies, and press melee to kill them. There are 7 enemies in this first area for you to kill, and you can melee them even if they spot you.

Additionally, there are more clueless enemies near the end of this level where you can get more shank kills.

After getting 5 kills with the shank, you'll unlock the achievement/trophy.

During your escape with DIMA, you will come to the center of the prison. DIMA will tell you to take out the guard on the floor of the prison with the shank. Melee kill him and continue right around the perimeter of the floor. Stay behind the pillars as the search light revolves. Melee kill each guard you come to, (pick up one of the rifles) making sure it is after the light has passed and you have enough time to get back in the shadows. You will be able to get three easy. The fourth guard is a little more exposed. Make sure the guards walking the platform at the base of the tower are looking away. You will have to takeout one of them with the shank as well. When they turn to rotate rush one to get your fifth kill, you will most likely be spotted at this point, push upstairs, DIMA will follow. If you forgot to grab a gun at this point there is one on the table upstairs.

I consider this to be the easiest of the mission-specific trophies, and it is certainly the fastest. You will be offered the Shank by Dima, your cellmate, at the beginning of the mission. Press to accept it and simply run up to the first five enemies you see and press for a melee kill.

The first enemy you will have an opportunity to melee is down a small set of stairs. Dima tells you to take him out quietly, but you need not worry about being stealthy. You can run up to the guard at full speed and kill him with the Shank. You will then enter a circular prison area and all you have to do is continue on your path and stab each guard you see until you have killed five. I personally was able to kill all five enemies on hard running at full speed, so again, you should not have to worry about tact.

- this could be done almost at the beginning of the level
- after the cutscene where Dima defeats the first guard, the next five guards / soldiers could be defeat by a melee attack
- try to stay in the shadow and don't get detected by the searchlight

You can get it at the very beginning of the level, just walk around and secretly kill enemies without getting caught in the spotlight. If you find it, it doesn’t matter, it’s not necessary to kill silently , but on high difficulty it will still be easier.

I would even say you can’t do it, but you need to do it at the very beginning. Since at the very beginning there are only 5 enemy soldiers, they are all turned towards the middle of the map and are not looking at you. Just take your time, sneak and kill with a button (R2 if there is no weapon in your hands). I did it on difficult, without any difficulties.
