How to unlock the Fear the Reaper achievement in Medal of Honor - Definitive Guide
At the beginning concentrate your fire at the furthest targets and just lay down a ton of fire from all 3 weapons. The 3 weapons do not share the cooldown timer with each other so you can really tear it up that way. Keep an eye on muzzle flash as it is hard to see some of the infantry from a distance.
If you're taking too long, Reaper will tell you they are RTB (return to base). The good thing is that they will keep saying it for a while and you can keep shooting. So if you hear it, know that you need to hurry up, but you still have some time if you're close.
If the achievement doesn't pop when you lower the SOFLAM, just reload your last checkpoint as there is no fighting between this part and the previous checkpoint.
During this mission, you will first come across a slope settlement, then one camp, and thereafter a series of smaller camps with people firing into the sky. This last position is the target and you are tasked with directing air support fire via the SOFLAM on this camp. Your objective is to eliminate everything here, including majority of human targets (I had one or two still surviving when the trophy unlocked). Here’s a video thanks to Rooster Teeth:
Once you exit the cave with the crazy enemy inside, you will have to kill a small group of enemies. After that you will come up to an AA gun that will be destroyed by the AC-130. You will then have to "Target Enemy Positions with SOFLAM". This is where you go for the Achievement. Once you enter the binocular-like mode, choose the 105mm gun (press to switch). At first, there will be 6 squares locating the main groups of enemies (press to see the main groups again). You want to destroy those 6 groups and everything around them. If you leave at least one main group of enemies alive (I left the top left alive, as shown in the video), then you will remain in SOFLAM. Make sure you destroy everything around the other main points, and then focus on the last one and try to destroy everything before you exit SOFLAM. If you don't have the achievement once you exit SOFLAM, you can restart last checkpoint.
