How to unlock the Inside Job achievement in Homefront: The Revolution - Definitive Guide
First I recommended that you use the crossbow, distractions and RC car bombs.
Once you have completed your preparations, there is a small opening between the fortress and a nearby building where you can use the RC cars to eliminate as many enemies as possible.
Then use one last Hack Car to openning the gates of the Stronghold and carefully proceed with the crossbow.
If the minimap flashes red during a takedown of an enemy, that doesn't void the achievement, but getting the red detection meter filled will void the achievement.
Once you have killed every enemy in the base, deactivate the valve and you should get the achievement.
BUG NOTE: It is possible that more enemies could spawn in the stronghold while you deactivate the valve, screwing you over. It is also possible that enemies can spawn outside the base and somehow see you through walls.
(Video below in Portuguese, but You can see the strategy used)
Location: Oldtown
Stronghold: Water treatment Centre
Equipment: Crossbow, Explosives
Time Taken: 2 Minutes
Method:
Run around the perimeter of the stronghold until you come to a silver fence with a gap in. Run through the gap, staying close to the walls of the stronghold and right at the back you will find a vent. Use an explosive and blow up the vent but dont go in. Once the vent is broken I return to a gunlocker to save. Then when you return the vent will still be broken and will remain so if you ever need to reload the checkpoint.
Climb through the vent and move into a storage room. There are two doors here a front and side, leave through the side door.You will quickly come to a staircase, there will be one enemy on the ground level. Use your crossbow and get the kill. You will also see two more enemies on the upper walkways. You should be able to kill both from here.
Stay crouched and slowly move up the staircase, once at the top you only need to travel a few feet and interact with the valve. Attempt to limit your kills if the enemy is off in the distance leave him. The quicker you do this and the less enemies you encounter the easier it is.
I tried on nearly every stronghold and as I was playing on hard almost gave up as enemies would quickly overwhelm the base. However by using this method you enter the base right next to the valve, its just a matter of getting up that staircase and taking out enemies.
Hope this helps.
This trophy can be a pain but it's not glitched. You will need to get to the valve and deactivate it without being spotted, but once you turn the valve, all the nearest enemies will be on alert. So you will want to make sure that no one is near the stronghold before capturing it.
The easiest stronghold is the Biedul Manufacturing in the first Red Zone, Elmtree. Make sure to take all of the other strike points around this stronghold, this way there will be less enemies patrolling in the street.
Use the crossbow and the RC explosive cars to kill all the enemies inside the stronghold. You can enter the stronghold by destroying the ventilation or hacking the door.
Make sure there are no enemies patrolling around the stronghold and turn the valve. If the minimap turns red, you won't have the trophy.
/! Warning. Once you activate the side mission to capture the stronghold, you can't be spotted. Even if you're around the stronghold and you're being spotted by patrolling enemies, it will void the trophy for this stronghold. Even if you come back later in the game!
Make sure to restart the checkpoint if you have any doubt.
You can see this video for an example at Biedul Manufacturing:
