How to unlock the Marksman achievement in Metro Redux - Definitive Guide

Very easy if you have a pneumatic weapon (preferably one with a red dot sight).

Load up Frontline, and as soon as you roll off from the cart. Take out your pneumatic weapon, CRANK it up fully (Hold LB + Press D-RIGHT) - Then use RT to crank. One fully cranked, turn to the front of the tunnel.

Your target is the guy standing on the rail car. He doesn't have a helmet. Line up the dot sight with his head and BANG. Don't take more than a couple steps towards him (enough to line up a shot). That's more than 30 meters. I never missed from here. Reload checkpoint. (I found the targeting of this gun the best at long range).

Good guide, but you don't have to crank the gun

If you're like me and didn't have a pneumatic weapon in your inventory at the beginning of Frontline, you can load up the chapter Armory right before it. It's a mostly peaceful and short level, so you can buy the Tikhar, customize it, run to where Andrew is standing to quickly finish the chapter, watch the cutscenes, and find yourself at the beginning of Frontline with a pneumatic weapon in your inventory.

Also, if you want to knock out 2 achievements in 1: while you're in Armory, you can also purchase the Hellbreath gun for the Shocking achievement.

I found out that after you meet Bourbon in Riga , You'll both set out into the lost tunnels and will soon into the mission come across your first group of bandits , Bourbon will ask you to take them out. Once you get into the room where the bandits are , aim your gun down the hallway and you will see a bandit quite far away standing up next to the camp fire. Aim and shoot him in the head then once you do so load last checkpoint and repeat 15 times. This is for people who just wanna get the achievement done and out the way but if you didn't want to do it like that you can progress through the game and see if you get it like that. I used the revolver to shoot the bandit but other weapons count too
I hope this has helped some people out :)

Update for people who were confused on who to shoot, I have made a small clip of the method at work :)



You can always view the achievement tracker to check if your progress towards the achievement is increasing.

No negative vote from me but I found this method incredibly difficult as none of my guns had scopes at this point.

For me, it was a lot easier to try and farm this at the very beginning of the Depot level, where you can get the Raider achievement
Metro ReduxRaiderThe Raider achievement in Metro Redux worth 27 pointsOn the level DEPOT silently kill the first guard and break into the Fascist station unnoticed.

The guy seems to spawn in slightly different areas each time but the turnaround with the checkpoint reload is extremely quick, which helps!
As long as you're firing approx. head-height down the centre of the tracks, it shouldn't take too long.

Tip: Have the Marksman achievement snapped to the side so you can see your progress! Will help you zero in on the right timing and area to aim for.

Black Station is another quick and easy place to grind it, start the level, turn yourself right and find a little hole in the wall, step back to the wall and shoot the guy's head through the hole.

After 1 1/2 plays (digital version), I still wasn't close to this. What I did was upgrade my Bastard with a 2x scope at Market, and fought through Dead City to Dry Station. Dry is a long, 3-tunnel station broken in two parts, and the best place I found to farm these (although the beginning of Outpost is also good, when you're on top of the structure and can snipe the guards down below).

When you begin Dry, you're in a vent. Stay quiet, drop down, snuff the blue light in front of you, go around to the right and wait for guards. You're in the middle shaft. One guard will approach from along the length of the tunnel and move to the right shaft (far side from where you dropped down), past the yellow lamp. If you sneak quickly, you can snuff the lamp and follow him into the right shaft without being seen. As he faces away, take him down and snuff the light above the table.

This should take around 30-60 seconds.

Now turn around. There are three guards at the far end of the shaft. You will probably only see two. Line the middle up in your sights and take him down, then the others if you can. More will appear from the left side entrances. Not all of these will be far enough, but 1-2 might be.

After a few kills, you can reload the checkpoint and hop down again.

If you want to, you can try shooting the guards in the middle shaft, but I found them harder to line up before the guards swarmed me and I had to fight them off. Obviously close kills don't count.

I used the checkpoint from my weapons kills video, the one right near the start of Lost Tunnels, where you have to either kill or knock out all the human enemies in the long tunnel. As soon as you jump over the trip wire and enter the long tunnel with all the enemies, turn to your left and line up a headshot with the furthest enemy you can see well enough to get a headshot. I used an iron-sights Tikhar for this and it was quite simple to keep reloading the checkpoint and get all 15 kills (as well as all my other weapon kills).

Rather than including my weapon kills video though I've included my 'full Enlightened playthrough' video, as it actually points out the specific spot I stand/shoot from. Unfortunately I'd already unlocked the achievement so you don't see it pop in the video but this is where I did it. You can see it at the 14:04 mark in the video.

You can pair this with Sniper if you wish. Use a weapon with a scope attachment, like a Revolver or Hellbreath to ensure you are more accurate from range. I got this trophy by reloading checkpoint on the Dry Chapter.

This achievement is slightly similar to "Sniper", with the only difference being in the distance of which headshots must be performed. You will probably want to arm yourself with a decent medium-to-long range weapon such as the Tilhar (pneumatic), Kalash (assault rifle), or VSV (assault rifle). Additionally, it is highly recommended to have a scope attached to the Tilhar or Kalash when working on this achievement.

Overall, this will most likely come naturally to players who are attempting to stealthily take down enemies from afar with silenced, ranged weapons. There are plenty of levels that offer straight sightlines for the required distance, however "Frontline" is one of the very best levels to grind this out on. Once you manage to get fifteen headshots from a thirty meters' distance, the achievement will finally unlock.

Everything is very simple: the game is automatically saved after each of your actions (an icon with a glowing disk appears) and you can stupidly go through the same section of the level several times to get the coveted trophy. There are only two ways to get this trophy: go through the entire game, killing the reptiles with headshots, or a simpler one, on the fifth level “Abandoned Tunnels”, when you get close to the first checkpoint with bandits, where there is still a small safe at the end of the level, remove one adversary standing near the fire with a shot in the head and restart the checkpoint. Let me explain: there will be one bandit standing near the fire, and if you lean against the back wall (it will be on your right, next to the boxes and the dilapidated front wall) and take a good aim at him, then there will be just about 30 or more meters between you. Feel free to shoot him and the game itself will count you as a kill, then restart the checkpoint. You will be thrown out again next to the checkpoint and you will have to repeat all the steps again. 15 runs - the trophy is yours.

I advise you to do it on the FRONT LINE
We turn 180 degrees and shoot at 2 soldiers
Tried other places
Doesn't count or every other time

I made this trophy on Sukharevskaya when you find yourself in the ventilation on the right, open the hatch and hit the dude standing on the bridge from above

The method described above is excellent, since you don’t even need to climb out of the hatch. Open the hatch on the right, aim at the enemy on the observation deck and shoot in the head. After each kill we reboot, it took 3-4 minutes.

A very convenient place at the beginning of the FRONT LINE chapter. We turn 180 degrees and two people stand by the fire at the required distance. I used a machine gun with an optical sight.
