Need to get a stealth kill on a sniper that was never alerted to you. So if he ever sees you, then you won't get the achievement and need to try on the next sniper

Actually, i found it a lot easier to come in that last square section from the right, i was able to crawl right up to one sniper overlooking the place, he and the others (there are 4 of them in there) never saw me coming.

For anyone who is having issues with this unlocking, it may be because you're not doing it on the DLC mission. This only unlocks in one of the DLC missions.

As good as the Sniper Elite games are they are unfortunately quite glitchy. Also if your playing it on xbox one the achievement system on it can be fussy at times and it can take some time for an achievement to pop. Took nearly two weeks before two achievements for Halo Master Chief Collection to pop for me.

I found the easiest sniper to get is in the first section of this mission. I noticed the video above used the last section and I noticed a few other achievements solutions use the last section as well. There is no need or achievement requirement to get this sniper kill in the last section. At the start of this mission I go all rights so you end up in the highest area. Same area as the Long Shot and one of the spotters is here. Once you clean out this area if you look to the right another spotter is there and a few troops. If you focus on that area a sniper is to the left. Staying in the Long Shot sniper nest, but turned to the right, you can clean out everyone including the spotter from here. I then slowly made my way to that sniper and came up behind him for the kill - achievement popped

You can get this achievement rather easily with a little stealth in the first section of the Confrontation level. Remember to save often in case you alert the enemies. Make sure to bring a silenced pistol.

Follow the path down and take the first right across the bridge. Head up the stairs to the right after passing under the rocks. Continue up the stairs, past the first enemy and head right up more stairs when you reach the next two enemies. Continue heading up towards the nearest objective.

From the objective (feel free to ignore it if you just want the achievement), continue north along the path towards the next objective. Once you reach it, you should see a radio tower and some makeshift canopies down to the left. Continue north and drop off the end of this path.

Take out the five enemies here, one being the objective, without being spotted. Once clear, head under the makeshift canopy nearby to find the sniper. Stealth melee takedown the sniper and the achievement will unlock.

After you blow up the tank and head down the canyon, past most of the traps, you will come to an area full of snipers.

MAKE A SAVE HERE IN CASE YOU SCREW UP

I was higher up and to the left as I entered the place. There were a couple of snipers I couldn't sneak past, so I sniped them, then crouch walked over the big bridge-like thing that spans the front of the area, stopping about halfway (where there was a sniper that I'd killed earlier). At about this point, you want to be very careful about getting spotted. Save often using multiple save slots and reload if you get spotted. There are 3-4 snipers on the right-hand side that you can kill with a stealth takedown. The map is confusing since there are bridges that overlap and look like dead ends but aren't.

The way I did this was to go prone and crawl to the nearest one, who is at your level along a wall just after the bridge thing ends. Crawl right up to him, then switch to crouch and hit Y to stealth kill him. If you come out of crouch too early, you'll get spotted and the takedown will fail.

I did this on marksman difficulty.

If you are playing this coop and both host or partner attempt to get this achievement and it does not pop you will have to play the mission Solo and then it should pop once after doing it by yourself.

A stealth takedown is silently meleeing an enemy from behind (pressing ), so you need to sneak up on a sniper and kill him without being detected.

This achievement needs to be done in stages. There is a sniper almost due north of the first sniper nest (both circled in red below). From this sniper nest, you need to kill four enemies around the sniper so he is alone and unaware. There is a generator at the bottom of the ladder of the nest, so sabotage that for noise.

It is recommended you first tag each enemy you intend to kill and continue to scan the immediate area for someone you may have missed. When you are certain there are no more enemies around, proceed to kill them using the generator to mask your shots. When you’ve killed everyone but the sniper, follow the upper path on the right to approach the area.

There *might* be one more enemy that is standing at the back who wasn’t visible from the sniper nest. In my two playthroughs he was there and facing south, so creep around the rock behind him and kill him. Then silently approach the sniper and kill him, unlocking the achievement.

Note: Be sure to manually save at regular intervals in case you are detected. It is possible that if you are detected near the sniper nest, the enemies around the sniper and the sniper himself will be alerted, so it’s best to take this first part of the mission undetected.
