How to unlock the My Rifle is My Best Friend achievement in Sniper Elite 4 - Definitive Guide

Level 2 Bitanti Village. Check the video below for the whole run from start to finish in 6 minutes - including loading time.

I got 9.000 XP points. because the challenges (You can get challanges only if the mission is finished at least 1 time). With the save at the door, you can reload over and over again to get the XP (Veteran achievement > Rank 50 > 1.000.000 XP).

You can get the "Still Ain't Got Time to Bleed" achievement too, if you don't use medkit/bandage. Thanks for the info II Nazule II!

How can you tell me that something that happened to me, personally, is incorrect? Check your statement before you post. If anything, it may mean that you might not be able to switch to different types of ammo.

This achievement is definitely glitchy. Had to do it four times before it finally popped for me. Heck, I didn't get credited for completing the Rifle Ripper challenge, but I can live with the achievement unlocking nevertheless.

Well that was bullshit. Just did a run with no non-rifle kills and no achievement. I even failed the rifle ripper challenge.

Do rocks count as weapons? I didn’t hit anyone with one but I did distract a few enemies with one. Either way, what a bullshit achievement.

Didn't pop perhaps because I got kills by blowing up a truck

The difficulty level definitely needs to be Marksman or higher. I tried 3 times as Cadet and no achievement. The 1st time on Marksman, it popped.

Thanks for the guide.

Yeah also be careful for the charge on the door it can accidentally splash and kill someone which would void it. One note is if the above happens to you or you get kills via explosions with a rifle you will get credit for "Rifle Ripper" Challenge for only using rifle but NOT get the achievement. If you didn't get it, try going completely ghost until the end.

The above post by TheAnonymity is incorrect. I won this on cadet difficulty on the first level, using both regular and silenced ammunition.

Using both ammunition types on cadet difficulty won me the achievement. You said it would not. I'm not saying that it didn't work for you, but it did work for me, therefore, it would be misleading to other people to outright say that it doesn't work.

Perhaps something was patched since your issues, and I'm none the wiser to that as I've only recently started playing the game. I mean no hostility, I'm merely providing objective information as I've experienced it.

I just unlocked this on cadet. I think if you get any type of explosion kill, it will void the achievement. I accidently blew up a truck and didn't get it. Second time I shot a grenade on an enemy and didn't get it. Third time I made sure there were no explosion kills and it unlocked, on cadet.

There is a much faster and safer route then in the video. AT 3:10, don't go where all the fighting is, go right thru the big wooden door. Have suppress ammo, stick to the left, 3 soldiers walking here. Shoot them or just run up the left side. kill radio guy for 1000 xp. continue up and you'll have 3 enemies at the top shoot them quickly and the final door is to the left right there. I never even turned red in my whole mission.
BTW, even using rocks is considered a weapon as it turn the rifle only challenge to red as soon as you do.

Throwing rocks doesnt disrupt your progress. I did this on 1st missionand threw rocks and also shot every trucks gas tank (i didnt use the trucks to kill anyone just farm xp)

I managed to get rifle ripper challenge on mission 2 but not the achievement.
Edit: I got it on First mission on Cadet. Used a rock, used pistol causing damage. all kills using rifle normal ammo(didn't test suppressed.

Mission 3 Regiliano Viaduct is quite simple to run only by rifle - just have solid scope an use a grass hides a lot. When start choose The left way to gun and just pass the guards or kill them only by rifle. You cant use ANYTHING else - no melee takedowns and enviromental kills. Put a charge on bridge take back to left cliff and take a Shot - achiev will pop instantly

Didn't unlock for me when I used silenced ammo on Mission 2 even though the Rifle Ripper Challenge unlocked. I did it again using non-silenced ammo and it popped as soon as I finished the emission.

did this one on cadet twice and no achievement. once when i switched to suppressed ammo and one with only rifle regular ammo. will try one more time on marksman since others have reported it popping with that difficulty.

EDIT- i can confirm that doing this on cadet difficulty does not pop the achievement. marksman does work. also, Rifle Ripper challenge is bugged. please add this to solution.

The above guide is good, but I thought I'd add that switching to suppressed ammo seems to nullify the achievement. I tried a couple runthroughs using suppressed ammo and the achievement didn't pop. Just did one without switching and it worked first time.

I just did a run with only unsuppressed rifle kills and it didn’t pop. The only thing besides my rifle I used was a bandage, a couple rocks, and I used sound masking once.

I’m guessing the bandage wasn’t the problem, but I even failed the challenge on mission 2 for not using SMGs/pistols/shotguns/offensive items. It didn’t say anything about no sound masking so I’m guessing they classify rocks as “offensive items”, which is absolutely ridiculous.

Looks like you can’t get kills with explosive barrels either...

What a pain in the ass achievement. So only unsuppressed, unmasked, non-explosive kills, with no equipment use of any kind. I bet even shooting a grenade accidentally voids the achievement.

I was having a ton of trouble getting this achievement because it’s so easy to break the conditions of the achievement. Shooting explosive barrels, using suppressed ammo, even throwing rocks as distractions, all of that will keep you from getting the achievement.

However, if you have the Season Pass (or just the Covert Warfare weapons pack) the Delisle Rifle will be your best friend. Like the Welrod, it’s integrally suppressed, which means that you can fire regular rifle bullets silently and still get the achievement.

So pick whatever level you feel most comfortable with (including DLC if you like) and the Delisle Rifle and take out as many or as few enemies as you like without worrying about aggroing the entire level or masking your shots. I was able to clear out the entire Target Fuhrer level with just the Delisle without getting spotted once on my first try. As long as you go for headshots and loot a few bodies for more ammo you’ll be fine.

Bruh, thank you for this guide. Not only did I get this first try on Target Fuhrer, I was also able to nab the kill Hitler and exfiltrate undetected chievo

The title for this cheev is misleading - I just got this on the Hitler DLC mission - went in, killed Hitler with the rifle and some other NPCs - got out. Done!

This is easy, you only have to do one mission killing only with sniper rifle and achivment will pop at the end of mission.

Load up any mission and go for the main objectives. Simply kill with your sniper rifle only. I would recommend you purchase the suppressed ammo in the player loadout for both slots to make things a little easier unless you like to go loud. If you have the Pre-Order Target Fuhrer DLC, then this will make this trophy far easier as the map is smaller than the main missions.

This is a straight-forward achievement; use only your rifle in any campaign mission to kill enemies. You cannot use your secondary weapon or pistol, any type of explosive in your inventory (grenades, mines, TNT), any environmental kill (explosive, suspended object) or melee to kill enemies. All kills must be performed with your rifle.

Mission 2, ‘Bitanti Village’ is probably the shortest mission if you bypass the optional objectives but feel free to choose any mission that you are comfortable with and remember to only kill with your rifle.
