How to unlock the Highly decorated achievement in Sniper Elite 3 - Definitive Guide

Here is a list of the 18 ribbons necessary for the achievement.

These can all be earned in private matches. With a high enough score cutoff, these could be earned in one private match per person. Three people are needed for the tag assists (one person needs a buddy), but the rest can be done with two people. I suggest Ruins since it's wide open.

Each ribbon must be earned in a single match (ie you need all three kills in one match to earn Castrato).

No Scope - Kill 5 enemies while aiming down the sights of a rifle
Trapper - Kill 3 enemies with traps
Castrato - Get 3 testicle shots
Demolition - Kill an enemy by shooting TNT or a mine
Long Distance Killer - Kill 3 enemies over 150m away while scoped
One Bullet Can... - Get the match-winning shot
Semi-Automatic Specialist - Kill 5 enemies with a semi-automatic sniper rifle
Tagger - Get 3 tag assists (click RS, press RT over an enemy and have a teammate kill them)
Kill Streak - Kill 5 enemies without dying
Grenadier - Kill 3 enemies with grenades
Sprinter - Kill a sprinting target while scoped
Operative - Kill 7 enemies with an SMG or a pistol
Survivalist - Complete a match without dying
Steady Aim - Kill 5 enemies while in empty lung (press RB while zoomed in)
Longest Shot - Have the longest shot in a match
Head Hunter - Get 5 headshots
Bolt-Action Specialist - Kill 5 enemies with a bolt-action sniper rifle
Streaker - Perform 3 consecutive Kill Streaks without dying (15 total consecutive kills)

Some pointers:

*No Scope - Kill 5 enemies while aiming down the sights of a rifle
Any rifle, but only pull LT halfway so that you don't go into the scope.

*Trapper - Kill 3 enemies with traps
Use one of the mines. If you have several people in a match, multiple people can set off the mine at once.

*Castrato - Get 3 testicle shots
Self-explanatory. If you do one from at least 100m, you can earn

*Demolition - Kill an enemy by shooting TNT or a mine
There are also gas cans that you can shoot for this as well. Otherwise the mines will be unlocked as you level up.

*Long Distance Killer - Kill 3 enemies over 150m away while scoped. Easy to combine this with Tagger to see the enemy better.

*Semi-Automatic Specialist - Kill 5 enemies with a semi-automatic sniper rifle
The M1 Gerand works for this.

*Bolt-Action Specialist - Kill 5 enemies with a bolt-action sniper rifle
The first rifle you unlock works for this.

*Tagger - Get 3 tag assists
Click RS to use your binoculars, then RT on the enemy to tag him. The enemy doesn't stay tagged long.

*Sprinter - Kill a sprinting target while scoped
Line someone up along a wall, then have them run at you. Make sure they have enough distance for you to get the shot off.

How many kills in a row do you need for the streaker ribbon?

Each kill streak is 5 kills, as you yourself note. 5 x 3 = 15. Math might be off a bit friend. It unlocked for me at 15 at least.

Just a heads up.....for the streaker ribbon.....all the kills have to be with guns. I'm not sure if you can mix pistol, smg and rifles, but I will say as a fact that kills with grenades, mines, & traps don't count towards the ribbon.

Excellent guide. Thank you. This is explained far better than the 360 version achievement guide. I'll give you a thumbs up as soon as I start the Xbone version.

Streaker requires you to get 15 kill streak with a rifle. Using anything else will make you avoid the ribbon

@CENA2000: not true. I got it after 15 kills total, while I was going for other ribbons like Semi-Automatic specialist and Grenadier.

*Tagger - Get 3 tag assists

Anyone tried with 2 people, tagging and let the other commit suicide?

Kind of a shame there’s no recommended game settings to cover as many as possible

All these ribbons apart from 1 (the tag assist one) can be obtained in a private match with just 2 people and are really simple to do just grab a friend and away you go.

and for those struggling like i did with the No Scope ribbon just lightly hold down the left trigger and you will see a 3rd person style with your sniper rifle and fire away.

There are a total of 18 ribbons that can be attained in multiplayer. These can be boosted in Private Matches, and will require at least 3 players in order to get "tag assists", although the others can be done with only two.

The ribbons are as follows:

  • No Scope - Kill 5 enemies while aiming down the sights of a rifle
  • Trapper - Kill 3 enemies with traps
  • Castrato - Get 3 testicle shots
  • Demolition - Kill an enemy by shooting TNT or a mine
  • Long Distance Killer - Kill 3 enemies over 150m away while scoped
  • One Bullet Can... - Get the match-winning shot
  • Semi-Automatic Specialist - Kill 5 enemies with a semi-automatic sniper rifle
  • Tagger - Get 3 tag assists
  • Kill Streak - Kill 5 enemies without dying
  • Grenadier - Kill 3 enemies with grenades
  • Sprinter - Kill a sprinting targets while scoped
  • Operative - Kill 7 enemies with an SMG or a pistol
  • Survivalist - Complete a match without dying
  • Steady Aim - Kill 5 enemies while in empty lung
  • Longest Shot - Have the longest shot in a match
  • Head Hunter - Get 5 headshots
  • Bolt-Action Specialist - Kill 5 enemies with a bolt-action sniper rifle
  • Streaker - Preform 3 consecutive Kill Streaks without dying (15 Rifle kills)

The best way to boost these is with a 3 person party, taking turns during 20 minute matches and marking down whatever ribbons were attained by each person. As long as team are far enough, the game will spawn teammates nearby which will speed up the killing process when boosting. Additionally, pausing the game and selecting "Switch Teams" will be useful whenever players are taking turns during a game.

Additionally, you will also need to play a few games with a score goal in order to attain a "match-winning shot", and it's probably best to boost "survivalist" during these matches as well.

NOTE: Some items, like mines, are only available after levelling up, so it may be a good idea to play a few missions before going for this achievement.

You can find players to boost with HERE, using an XBA Gaming Session.
