How to unlock the Ever Vigilant achievement in Metro: Last Light Redux - Definitive Guide
Check out the video below for a full playthrough of the game showing all collectibles, miscellaneous achievements like this one, and the Moral Points I obtained (I skipped a lot of them) in order to get the Redemption achievement. The Garden mission starts at timestamp 1:58:54.
For this achievement, all you have to do is manually disable ten traps throughout your playthrough by pressing over their wiring mechanism. Be mindful that because the tripwires of a trap are sometimes glanced over due to their hidden positioning, this achievement should be approached with care whilst exploring each level.
You may also opt to reload a checkpoint or replay a mission more than once if you desire to grind this achievement out. In fact, the level "Nightfall" has two wire traps on the second floor of the house near the beginning of the level so you can grind this achievement out here if necessary!

There will be occasional tripwires you have to cut to get to a secret area. You don't have to get these in one playthrough, though you can use Chapter Select if you miss any. Note that there are more than 10 tripwires but this guide shows the fastest method to getting all of them.
FACILITY:
1. You will come to a section where you need to pull a switch to open a door to exit. Once you exit through the door you will drop down to the right into a brief tunnel section. It's between the point where you jump down and the ladder.
SUNDOWN:
2. When you begin the level you will see a white box truck directly in front of you in a small yard. Go straight ahead and around the shed to the right to get to the rear of the truck.
3. From the truck you want to head to the other side of the yard ("West") and look for a shed with a car on its side semi-blocking the door.
4. "West" of the gas station is another row of buildings. Almost directly across from the gas pumps, which should be to your right, there is a trap blocking a hole that you can crouch and crawl through.
NIGHTFALL:
5. When you get off the ferry, go straight to the building in front of you and go up the concrete ramp. In that main room is a trap very near where you enter.
6. From the same level of the building, turn around and make your way to the right side (looking from the ramp it's the left side of the building's upper floor) to find another trap before you get to a closed door.
7. You will eventually reach a building where you go up an escalator. At the top of the escalator, look to the right to find the trap connected from the top of the escalator to the left wall.
8. Immediately after and to the left of the last trap another one is blocking an open room.
9. Just to the right of the last trap and also connected to the escalator and the wall is this trap.
DEPOT:
10. As soon as the level begins you can travel all the way down the left side of the map to a broken wall which will lead to a large shed/garage. The trap is at the shed/garage door so do not run into the building.
Credit to the Metro Wiki for providing all of the locations to the traps.
The best place is the beginning of the dead city. As soon as the level has loaded, we go through the tunnel and turn right through the door. All the way to the left, there will be a stretch. We neutralize it, go to the main menu and through “Chapters” we start the level again.
5 minutes and you have an achievement.
