How to unlock the Survivor achievement in Metro 2033 - Definitive Guide
This is how I managed to get both endings and the Ranger Easy / Ranger Hardcore achievements in one playthrough. Not 100% sure you have to do all this, but this is what I did.
1. Download the DLC before playing the game or starting another playthrough.
2. You can choose Easy difficulty (doesn't have to be Ranger Easy).
3. Trigger the Enlightened ending. See edit below.
4. At the end of the game decide which ending you want. You'll either get "If it's hostile, you kill it" or "Enlightened" depending on what you decided to do.
5. After the credits, back at the title screen, choose to continue.
6. Go to options and change the difficulty to Ranger Easy, make sure you save and exit and then quit to the title screen.
7. Choose to continue again (go to options and make sure you're on Ranger Easy) and play the last part of the game again but trigger the opposite ending you did in step 4. You should now get the other ending achievement AND "Survivor" for completing the game on Ranger Easy.
8. Repeat from step 5 but choose Ranger Hardcore this time. Make sure you trigger the first ending you did again. It doesn't work if you use the same ending twice in a row.
EDIT: If it doesn't work the way I've described you may have to dashboard to get it to work as mentioned in various comments below.
EDIT: Some people haven't needed the enlightened ending and were able to use the bad ending twice in a row. Originally when I tried this, it didn't work for me that way. I had to switch endings to get the other achievement but there may have been a game update or some other variable in your playthrough that changes this.
If you have the original 1000G and just need the DLC achievements, you'll need to start a new game with the DLC installed. It means another playthrough but you'll still be able to get Ranger Easy / Hardcore achievements in the same game.

It didn't work for me and I did the the thing word from word and I had an enlightened ending saved before i got the DLC then i did the steps you said to do but it hasn't worked. I don't know if this is the cause but everytime i change the difficulty it says in need the latest tittle update to play recent saved games but i already did the update it asked for when i started the game with DLC so maybe you can help

Firstly, I completed Ranger Hardcore Mode, so i thought i will have no problem in Easy Ranger Mode, but i was wrong :(
This mode has just few slightly differences comparing to Hardcore, ammo is not that scarce, enemies may deal less damage(but still its not cakewalk), and everything is the same.
My main advices would be to use knife with mutants, mainly to conserve ammo at the first chapters of the game.Throwing knifes will come in handy in those levels with human enemies, stealth is the best way complete the level, because few bullets hit you and youre dead:(
AND MOST IMPORTANT THING- dont forget to buy lots of gas masks filters , because they deplete very fast in Ranger mode!
P.S. this is the link to youtube videos, where show you how to complete human levels stealthy( i know this is a hardcore, but still really helps you for this mode, too):

See "Last Man Standing" for more information.

A very interesting point, I beat the game right away on the “HardcoreStalker” difficulty, but this achievement was not given. Maybe I have some kind of glitch... But nevertheless, get ready to go through the game again.)))

If you started the game with the dlc installed, then you don’t need to go through on this difficulty, load the last checkpoint, change the difficulty to “Stalker Hardcore” or just “Stalker”.
If you started the game without dlc, then you will have to play through it completely.
