How to unlock the English Pedigree achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

This came naturally early on in the game for me, after you and Jacob escape from prison there will be a cutscene with a helicopter lowering a container and Lara says, " I got this", from this point on I went right, you'll see two watch towers, one of which you can climb up into, take out the two enemies in both towers, now once up in the tower look all the way across the map and you'll see an enemy walking back and forth on a container, simply aim at his head as he pauses walking to the left of the container, shoot and the achievement will unlock, hope this helps with no video guide and this is my first solution, thanks guys!

For those wondering you can get this by replaying the chapter "Soviet Gulag"

I did it on this same part, but I didn't even move once the "I got this" cutscene ended. I just shot the guy in the far tower from where she landed and that popped the achievement.

I did the same as redjarman totally by pure coincidence. Still a thumbs up from me as I can totally see this working as described in the guide.

I found quite a simple way of getting this:

Expedition- Mode: Score Attack/Replay Chapters Elite, Level: The Acropolis, Difficulty: Doesn't matter but I did it on Adventurer.

At the start activate the cutscene, then stealthy make your way back to the steps. Aim at the guy on the rights head (I used the bow).

For some reason the achievement didn't pop in the video, not sure why any problems leave a comment:

Sorry, this Game Clip has been removed

When you are on your way to rescue Jonah you come across a part where to do this easy. Check the video and you'll know when you get there.

If you miss it earlier, I found a place when you are on the research base map going toward the prison block.
There is guy standing on a water tower at the end of a zip line that you will probably spot before you zip. If you look behind you, there is a ladder down. I just went down the ladder to see if any relics were there then stepped as far back and shot him in the head. The guy doesn't move at all, so it is a fairly easy shot. If you have the perk that highlights head shots, it makes it even easier.

Edit: It looks like kloakaTV verified the spot I found by posting the exact same solution a month after I did.

Get this out of the way early on. In the Siberian wilderness level, just get yourself up onto a platform , and wait for one of the soldiers to walk into range on the radio.

As its dark, you can see them earlier than they can see you

I got this in the first area that you have soldiers hunting you.(After the first campsite)
After you gain control, remain undetected, and head to the left side of the map. About halfway down the hill, you should see a cliff. Climb up by using the nearby tree(there is also a cave up on this cliff.)

Look out over the edge and off in the distance, you should have see a soldier leaning over a box. Ready your bow, zoom in, aim for his head, and let loose. Your achievement should pop.

A good time to get this is when you first enter the Soviet Installation and you have 4 enemies moving ammunition around. In the building ahead on the second floor is another enemy pacing back and forth. You may need to distract him by firing a shot near him, and then fire a headshot.

25 metres is a significant distance, so to have a good chance of unlocking this you'll need to attempt it against unaware enemies; a head shot should be fatal to any enemy without a helmet. If you haven't unlocked this by the time that you've completed your main playthrough, Expeditions Mode provides plenty of good opportunities to do so, or you can just do this in free-roam. Of course, it may not be obvious how far in-game constitutes 25 metres.

Using Expeditions Mode, I recommend "The Acropolis" as a good chapter on which to attempt this. Here, you'll encounter a group of unaware enemies at the start of the chapter. Once you locate them, back away to the tent near to the path that you've come down and shoot from here (zooming in will help) - this should be a sufficient distance to unlock the achievement, provided of course that your shot is on-target.

This can be done in the chapter "The Acropolis" via Expeditions mode. At the very start of the chapter you encounter a group of 3 unaware enemies. When you reach them, go back the way you came then go as far back as you can and shoot one of them in the head with an arrow.
