How to unlock the The Reconing achievement in PAYDAY 2: CRIMEWAVE EDITION - Definitive Guide
Heist: Any infinite heists work well for this one
Difficulty: Very Hard
Attachment: Reconnaissance Sight
Weapon: Sniper or Assault Rifle
Armour: Heavy
AI: On. This is in case you get downed. I won't lie. I needed them.
Equipment: Ammo Bag or Doctor Bag it is up to preference
The Recon sight is an attachment for sniper rifles and assault rifles. So choose whatever you feel most comfortable with and start up a heist. I chose Prison Nightmare because it is infinite and there are many places to run to when you get overwhelmed. I just grabbed the second keycard and farmed kills in the middle of the prison.
So just watch your health and make sure that you keep track of your kills. If you aren't sure how many kills you have, try and aim for 225-250 kills just to make sure. Make sure to aim down sights, I am not sure that hip-firing counts for this achievement so better safe than sorry.
If you're looking to save time and not waste effort on getting a surplus of kills, here is a fantastic comment / tip from Healtti:
Thank you Zalexzy for providing us with the name of this crew boost!
You can only use one weapon with the recon sight. What i mean by this is, each weapon has it's own counter and equipping a recon sight on another weapons means you have two guns with their own independent number of kills that go to the achievement. So keep that in mind if you happen to have two recon sights.
I used Hostage taker to make sure I was regenerating my health. There are certainly perk decks you can take advantage of, but I stuck with Armourer.
Don't forget. You must complete the heist to unlock the achievement
If you give me negative feedback, please let me know why or PM me so that I can improve on my future solutions

There's a crew ability or a crew boost that refills one throwable per 35 kills. I brought 6x conc grenades, threw them all at the start of the heist and fought the assault waves until I had 6 more in my inventory. That's 210 kills. 👌
You have to bring your AI bots to get the benefits. I chose the good ole Ukrainian Job and ordered my team to hold position inside the store.
This crew boost is called "Stockpiler" and can be accessed at: Crew management>crew boost>stockpilerYou have to bring your AI bots to get the benefits. I chose the good ole Ukrainian Job and ordered my team to hold position inside the store.

Which gun would recommend?

The trophy drops at the end of the mission, so I recommend combining it with the “ Patience Is Key ” trophy, where you need to wait until Matt gets out of the van without using canisters. There you will definitely shoot 200 enemies. The sight itself is located in the Sight tab, the very last one.
