here is my Solution for this Achievement. You need 7 Steps to earn this.
Step 1: Play the Mission "Karma" and save Karma by Killing DeFalco
Step 2: Complete all available Strike Force Missions
Step 3: Play the Mission "Suffer with me"
Step 4: Play the "new" Strike Force Mission"
Step 5: In the Mission "Achilles Veil", kill Harper with Farid
Step 6: In the Mission "Odysseus", don´t kill Admiral Briggs
Step 7: Complete the Mission "Odysseus" to get the Achievement.
This "Walkthrough" unlocks the Achievement "Shift Shape" automatically with.
Thats the simple or :) The Major Problem is, have you one of this Steps different because you dont know before you read this Solution, you must used the new Storyrewind as from the Mission "Karma"
Well, you play for 1 Achievement Mission 6-9 again und lose all your Storyprogress from Mission 6-11.....
And because its "nice" to play this SP again and again, for the Achievement "Showdown" you need different Steps in the same Mission 6-9.

PS: Sorry for my english, german :)
In order to get this achievement you have to make sure Karma survives until the end of the mission "Odysseus". To do this follow these steps:
1: You have to complete all available strike force missions ("Second Chance" doesn´t become available if you kill DeFalco).
2: In the mission "Karma" kill DeFalco (you can also let him escape, look at "Edit 2" below). When you follow him through the mall near the end of the mission his name appears on the HUD and you are then close enough to shoot him with a Sniper Rifle. Make sure to have a good view at the balustrade above! If you hit him the mission will instantly end and Karma is save!
3: In the mission "Achilles Veil" you have to kill Harper. Farid must survive!
4: In the mission "Odysseus" when Salazar turns out to be a traitor he wants to shoot Karma but Farid "sacifices himself".
5. I´m not 100% sure but I think Admiral Briggs has to survive too, so shoot him in the knee or legs. He then reactivates the USS Obamas defense systems!
If you´ve done everything right Briggs will reactivate the defense system of the USS Obama, SDC will send help and the USS Obama, its crew and Karma will be save!
At the end of the mission "Odysseus" the achievement unlocks!
Edit 1: coreymawf advised me of the fact that you also unlock the "Ship Shape" achievement if you follow this guide because the USS Obama will be rescued which is one of the requirements that Karma survives!
Edit 2: I just played the game another time and made a few different decisions. I let DeFalco escape, completed all the strike force missions, rescued Karma and killed Harper, Farid survived! In the mission "Odysseus" DeFalco knocks Karma out, Farid kills DeFalco and Salazar kills Farid.
*Missable trophy*
Several decisions have to be made throughout the story. These decisions change the outcome of the story. The important choices for Good Karma start in Story Mission 6 "Karma". It's all about rescuing Chloe (Karma) and see her surviving the 9th Mission "Odysseus". Make sure to beat all of the Strike Force Missions before Story Mission 9 "Odysseus" begins. You have to do these Strike Force Missions during the story. Doing them via mission select will not count. China needs to be an ally and this will automatically unlock Ship Shape too.
Step 1 - Mission 6 "Karma" - Kill DeFalco at the end of the mission. Do not let him get away in the aircraft! If he gets away, you can still rescue Chloe in the Strike Force Mission "Second Chance".
Step 2 - Mission 8 "Achilles' Veil" - Kill Harper during the interactive cutscene.
Step 3 - Mission 9 "Odysseus" - Shoot Admiral Briggs in the leg. Finish the mission.
If you fail to do any of these steps the trophy won't be possible anymore. You will then have to rewind the story in mission select back to the point where the first mistake happened. If you decide to make use of the rewind story feature then keep in mind that you have to replay all Missions via "Continue Story". If you have to rewind back to Mission 6, then you have to play all Missions in correct order until Mission 9.
This achievement requires several steps between various missions in order for Karma to survive (which is your goal). There is another achievement called "Showdown" that is sort of the opposite of this achievement so please read that description as well to plan out your course of action on these two achievements. It is important that for you to get the achievement, you rewind the story. Go to replay mission and hit and it will rewind so you can change the outcome of the story in the end while keeping all challenge and weapon progress.
- Kill Defalco in the mission "Karma"
- Complete Strike Force mission "Second Chance" (If available).
- Complete "Suffer with Me" and additional Strikeforce Mission
- Kill Harper with Farid in mission "Achilles Veil" (Farid survives).
- Spare Admiral Briggs in "Odysseus" mission by shooting him in the leg.
