How to unlock the Escape Artist achievement in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Definitive Guide
The best place I've found so far is lvl 2 'Atlas'. When you have access to the mini drone just stay behind cover and reload the checkpoint for more grenade dodges.
Below is a video demonstation which I hope you find useful.
Hope this helps!
Clear the first part of this Hangar in front of you, stay here (behind you Teammates) and a new Group with an AST will appear. Kill only the AST and let the other Enemies untouched. Stay again behind your Teammates and wait for the Fire Grenades from the Enemies. Is a Grenade on the Ground, you see a green Circle around the grenade, go in this Circle, the Circle turns red. NOW push the and at the same Time in a direction to leave the red Circle. If the successful the Circle is now green again. Repeat this Process as much as possible at any Fire Grenade. If you fast enough you get 3-4 Dodge.
Repeat the whole Steps above until the Achievement unlock. It will takes about 5 - 10 Minutes. If your Teammates kill everything and go forward, immediatly reload the Checkpoint. The same is something wrong or you failed.

Here you will see a white utility vehicle. Run straight to the passenger side door (the one nearest to you) and take cover. Usually, the enemy will throw a couple of grenades this way and you can dodge out of the way by quickly clicking left-stick on the controller. Dodge out of the red circle and let the grenade explode for it to count and be careful not to get stuck on the scenery or friendly soldiers as I believe it won't count if you take damage from the grenade. Repeat this 20 times by reloading the checkpoint and you will have earned a new achievement!
This solution is not flawless as they did not always throw grenades but 8 times out of 10 they will. Unfortunately the progress towards the achievement isn't tracked in the Xbox One app, but I didn't have any legitimate dodges from playing the campaign and this only took 10 minutes to do.
- load up the level "Collapse" on easy
- after the driving sequence (1-2min into the level) run forward
- enemies will jump on trucks - the left guy on the right truck will always throw a grenade
- dodge the grenade (red indicator) by clicking your left stick in either right or left direction
- reload last checkpoint - run forward and repeat.
Note: This can only be done in single player, and you cannot use your own grenades.
Whenever you see a grenade, you will notice rings around it. If the rings are green, you are out of the blast radius. If the rings are red, you are in it's blast radius. What you want to do for this trophy is air dash out of the circle when you are in the blast radius. This can be done with either exo suit and all you need to do is jump, then press the sprint button () while in the air and move the forward, right, left or down. You will dash in the direction you put the in. So you need to do that to escape from a grenades blast radius. Do this 20 times and the trophy will unlock. You can farm this trophy as well, so if you die or restart checkpoint it will count towards one of the twenty.
If you don't have this by the time you complete the game, load up the fourth mission called "Fission". Once you drop down to the street, they'll be a ton of enemies ahead. Just hang about behind cover and look for grenades. Whenever you see one, run into it and dash out of it. Once the enemies stop throwing grenades, or the enemies get killed by your team, kill yourself or restart checkpoint.
In the second part of the second level, after you storm the house where the president lives, an enemy drone will fly in, the game will save the checkpoint and you will be asked to control the mini-drone yourself. You ignore the message and instead, standing in front of the ladder, aggro the enemies standing below. They shoot, you hide and do not respond, surviving when a grenade arrives at you. The fact that it has arrived at you will be indicated by a red indicator on the screen. At this moment you need to jump back to safe distance. To do this, you hold down the left stick, and while you release your finger from the stick, sharply select left/right so that the main character bounces. Practice jumping like this before doing it. Once you bounced 3-4 times, you can load the checkpoint and repeat the procedure.
By the end of the 7th mission the trophy dropped.
In the part of the location described in the first tip, it is better to perform “Ultimate Acceleration”.
