How to unlock the Like a Surgeon achievement in Medal of Honor - Definitive Guide

I actually used the two earlier solutions (from Mojo I Uk and Br1Zzo) to help get mine, but I believe that they are each missing a body part . . . the stomach (hence the comment in the video that "apparently, that first torso shot didn't count").

Like they both mention, I got it on the level Friends From Afar and here's the strategy that I took to get it:

1) Do NOT use your thermals while you are firing. Particularly when you are trying for the body shots, it is often much harder to figure out what part of the body you are aiming at with thermals on.

2) I believe you need to hit 5 different areas:
- head (you will see the headshot symbol on your screen)
- chest (spotter generally calls out "center mass")
- stomach (spotter generally calls out "gut shot")
- arm (spotter generally says that you hit his arm or says "winged him")
- leg (spotter will sometimes say that you hit his leg, though I've heard various other callouts)

I don't think you need to hit the left and right side for the arms and legs, but if you have trouble getting it to pop, it certainly couldn't hurt to try. :)

3) Go for the obvious body parts when looking at your targets (i.e., don't "force" a particular shot, just because you need it). There are plenty of opportunities for each body part:
- if the guy is standing with his legs apart, go for a leg shot
- if he's crouched, holding his gun out, go for the arm shot
- save your head shots for the snipers
- chest and gut shots are often best for the guys who are popping in and out of cover, since those are the two largest body targets

Those are just examples though . . . you may find better opportunities for each part, depending on your shooting style.


For the record, I tried 2 or 3 times with my thermals on, hitting, what I thought were all of the spots that I needed to, but it was was hard to tell visually. After watching the video that Br1Zzo posted, I tried it without any optics on and it popped during the second group of guys. I don't think using thermals keeps you from getting the achievement (though, I suppose it's worth exploring), but it was easier for me when I didn't.

Ooh! Sorry about that . . . it's listed in the other two solutions that were on the page, but I completely forgot to put it in mine! It was on the level Friends From Afar . . . I've updated the solution with it.

Thanks for the catch!

ok i just got it and this is how i got it. after the spotter saying i all the body parts i then progressed to hit the opposite side arm and leg and once getting those it popped so perhaps you do need to get all arms and legs too

Yeah, I'm beginning to think that this achievement is a little . . . uh . . . "touchy". :) It was a while ago, but I'm pretty sure that I got it with 6 shots (I needed an extra torso shot), so I don't think that the achievement actually requires both left and right, but I'm beginning to question the hit detection of the game . . . I think sometimes it just misreads where the bullet hit.

On the level Friends from afar Seems to give most opportunity

You need to try this when using the stationary sniper rifle,this is the long range sniper rifle

You have ample opportunity here to hit each bodypart,but sometimes due to the carnage the long range sniper does its hard to see what you actually hit so keep varying

You need : -

Head
Torso
Left Arm
Right Arm
Left Leg
Right Leg

Not in any particular order

It has been said in the comments below that it can be done over multiple playthroughs. In all host there are more than enough people to shoot to gain this achievement. But if after the 1st playthrough you havent achieved it, just replay

If you are going to vote negatively please leave a comment as to why, so i can make my solutions better

As i said in the guide sometime you aim at 1 but the damage caused may not give you a tick for it. Just keep alternating it will unlock.

I would add a note that it is only the stationary sniper this works with and not any old sniper

Negative for not explaining whether or not I can replay this mission. Can I get both legs 1 arm in one playthrough of this level and then get the rest in another. Or does it have to be done in one try? Fix this and i will change to positive.

And you only need to shoot a leg and an arm, not left and right.

Hmm. That is odd that you had to shoot both arms and legs to get it. I got it by hitting left arm, right leg, chest, stomach, and head.

It was a bit strange, others have said pretty much what you said the same method as you.

Tamelyn is correct because I unlocked this on my 5th shot, so it is legs, arms, torso, chest, head. If you're having trouble with the chest or torso, you can hit the upper and lower backs of the 2nd man with a radio and the man on the right in the 2nd group and it still counts. 1st guy legs, 2nd guy lower back, 3rd guy arms, sniper 4th guy head, 5th guy (2nd group on the right of the 3) upper back. bleep.

This solution helped me the most. Follow the order of shots given and the achievement will pop. I tried all the others and only this one worked for me.

Voted negatively because there was no need to make a guide in response to another guide, if you agree with that person's guide then just vote positively!

As with Greg22 I followed this guide to the letter. Achievement popped on 5th shot. Nice one Smokey :)

From x360achievements

This is done on mission 7 "Friends From Afar" in the beginning of the level when you are sniping, or can be done later on in the level. You have to shoot 4 different body parts: Head, Torso, Arm, and Leg. This achievement may be glitchy, as many people have had problems with it. To make sure you get the achievement, shoot all of the following:

Head
Torso x2 (Chest and Gut)
Arm x2 (Left and right arm)
Leg x2 (Left and right leg)
There is more than enough enemies to make sure you get these shots, but take your time and don't be careless. If the achievement still doesn't pop, try again. You will eventually get this.


Other things to keep in mind:

You have the upper hand on some enemies because they do not move.
This has to be done on different enemies. You can't shoot a dead enemy over and over.
There is no bullet drop, only the time it takes to get there, so hitting the desired body part should be easy.

This can be done on mission “Friends From Afar” throughout the level. Long Range Sniping only counts whenever you see a scene of your character pulling out the bi-pod to steady the gun. You have to shoot 6 different body parts: Head, Torso, both Arms, and both Legs (and maybe the Gut/Groin). There are tons of opportunities in this level. You can hold your breath by holding to steady your aim and change optical sight type with .

Mission "Friends in the Distance" (seventh in a row). At the beginning of the game you will shoot with a sniper rifle, hitting the enemies in each of the arms, each leg, torso and head. All this must be done on different enemies, since it simply won’t work on one)).
