Earn this achievement for completing the third mission "In Darkness" on at least Hardened difficulty. To earn this as quickly as possibly, simply play the stage in Hardened. I'd argue that this stage is slightly easier than the previous mission, so if you beat that you should be OK here.

I recommend having the Control cybercore active, with at least the "Terminal Breakdown" ability purchased in order to take care of human enemies at the start, followed by any other ability in the Control tree to take care of robots in the second half.

The start of the level has a section in which you need to anchor to the ground using a special tool when the wind (or water) picks up speed - just hold "X" when this happens to stay in place. The rest is fairly linear, just shoot through various enemies and occasionally listen to some dialogue and watch some cut scenes (no spoilers)

The only challenge you'll have in this level is the Warlord unit near the first cut scene and later on after using the zip line; these fights are made easier by using the previously mentioned Terminal Breakdown to stun them, after which you should shoot them as much possible, and back off when the stun wears off (rinse and repeat). This ability is also useful for the troops with riot shields (and pretty much any human enemy).
