There is another near the forklift on the ground on the other side of the catwalk, a third on the left side of the room, and a fourth next to the door at the backs of the tunnel. You need to blow up these barrels to kill 9 guards within 7 seconds. The left door and back doors at the end of the tunnel will have a flood of guards exit them when you progress far enough in.

Accolade 'Whites of Their Eyes':

This accolade is completed at the very end of the mission when you are required to defend the escape pod. You must only use your pistol to do so and it begins once you exit the APC. You must only shoot your pistol here. It is best to find a rock and hide behind it as best as possible and shot only those who get close enough. The accolade will display when the robot is standing over you during the cut scene.

Accolade 'Untouchable':

If you managed to not die once during the mission, you will earn this accolade as well. This is rather difficult if you are attempting to earn all other accolades in this mission. You will most likely need to die to reload a previous check point to complete one of the other accolades earlier in the mission.

The ‘Disavowed’ achievement is tied to completing mission one on at least the hardened difficulty.
