How to unlock the Frickin' Laser Beams achievement in Resistance 3 - Definitive Guide

Replay Chapter: Mt. Pleasant, PA: Forest
After defeating your first Widowmaker, you will arrive in a forest area of Mt. Pleasant. A small cutscene will take place showing you several Chimera with cloaks and laser-sighted Deadeyes. Your goal is to get past this entire area, without taking a single shot from one of the snipers.

As mentioned before, the snipers all have laser sights on them, so not only can you tell where they are by tracing the lasers back to their point of origin, but also you can tell whether or not a Chimera has you in his sights, which will be a signal to you letting you know to get to cover. You can use any combinations of weaponry to take out the snipers, but the most effective method is to either snipe them yourself, or to pull out the Auger and shoot them from cover.

A few tips to keep you from getting shot:

  • Never walk through the center of an area, always keep to one side. This makes it so you only need to watch one direction and don't need to worry about getting shot from both sides.
  • Once you are in an area that is fairly safe, pull out the Auger and scope out the area. The heat-sensing from the Auger allows you to see the Chimera even though they are cloaked, which gives you the advantage of knowing where they are beforehand.
  • Stay out of the water. Your footsteps make noise walking through water and draw attention to you.
  • It isn't wise to try and sneak through the area. You're much better off killing the snipers before they can kill you.

There are 8 snipers in this entire area. Here is the path I took for this trophy:

  1. Follow the right side of the wall until Malikov mentions something about scolding you for your senseless action. There will be a large rock in front of you. Use the Auger to kill 2 snipers perched on top of it.
  2. Walk around the rock, keeping close to the edge so you don't touch the creek. There will be a tiny waterfall on the creek just past where you are walking. Cross the creek right on the top of the waterfall and press up against the rock on the side. Using the Auger, look Southeast, and you will see a Chimera. Use the Auger to take him down.
  3. Look southwest and you will see a small bridge going over the creek. Walk over and stand on top of the bridge. Look to the west with your Auger and you should see another Chimera's heat signature. Kill him with a few shots from the Auger.
  4. Head south, up a small hill, and into a small cabin. Go in to the top right corner of the cabin, between two windows, and crouch down. Pull out your Deadeye and kill the Chimera directly southwest from your position. After he is dead, aim slightly more to the left and you should barely be able to make out another sniper. Kill him as well.
  5. Un-zoom and back up along the left wall of the cabin, until you are next to a closed door. Zoom back in and look directly west and you will see another sniper waiting to be picked off. This sniper moves back and forth between places, so if he isn't there, wait a moment and he will come back. Kill him.
  6. Now you will want to leave this cabin via the door on the right side, and run to the next cabin, which is in the west direction. Be careful to avoid dropship fire. Walk up to the top-right window inside this cabin and you should be able to see the final sniper while looking northwest.
  7. Once he is dead, now you can make a dash for the cave entrance. No more snipers can hit you. Once you enter the cave and drop down to the floor below, a checkpoint will trigger and your trophy will pop, provided you didn't get hit by a sniper.

When we fall from the plane we find ourselves in the forest with snipers. Carefully look at where the beam is coming from and remove the Chimera. Nothing difficult, just act carefully.

The damage that a ship hanging around there can cause does not affect the trophy. The main thing is not to let the snipers hurt yourself.

The snipers themselves run around in invisible and are almost invisible in the dark forest, but the termite illuminates them perfectly. The only negative is the sight distance. Therefore, from afar we are guided by the rays of snipers, and close through the obstacles we shine with thermite

As soon as you appear in this location, you can go to the right, there are rocks there... you can’t climb to the very top, but from the most accessible top point you can easily take out 3-4 snipers
