Obliteration - Complete all the Challenges

How to unlock the Atomic achievement in Sniper Elite 4 - Definitive Guide

You must complete the Deathstorm Obliteration mission once before being able to go for the challenges.
There are 5 in total and they do not have to be completed in the same playthrough.

1. Did you hear that? Get 40 or more ghost kills.
Ghost kills can be achieved by killing an enemy without them knowing where you are.

2. Anatomy for Snipers. Organ shot an enemy every 2 minutes.
An organ shot is a shot through an organ resulting in a kill. Headshots do not count.

3. Subsonic. Suppressed ammo kills only.
For some reason the Welrod pistol wasn't counting towards this for me, so I used suppressed ammo for my rifle. You can equip suppressed ammo in place of your medikits after purchasing them for 2 or 3 stars(I can't remember the exact number)
IMPORTANT: Knocking out the scientists automatically fails the suppressed ammo challenge. Reload checkpoint if you accidentally do.

4. Research Assistant. Recover all research papers in under 10 minutes.
The research papers are located in 3 separate safes through the mission. Assuming you aren't playing on Authentic or Authentic Plus, they're shown on the map in the blue circles with a question mark.

5. Field Studies. Get Kills with 10 or more firearms.
Get a kill with each of your 3 starting weapons and switch weapons with the enemies that you've killed as often as you can. There are more than 10 firearms in this mission.

I'd recommend going for the 10 ghost kills in its own playthrough. I wouldn't recommend pairing it with suppressed ammo kills because it's hard to get 40 suppressed bullets(assuming you hit every shot).

With that said, I'd go for the suppressed ammo kills and organ shots at the same time. In this run, do a speed run killing only those in your path. Save often, and make sure you get an organ shot within 2 minutes of each other. If you don't, you can reload your saves and try again.

Finally, in a third run, get the research papers in under 10 minutes, and get kills with 10 different firearms. I would also go for the achievement to kill everybody in this run.

Happy Hunting! I hope this helped.

Achievement glitched for me. Completed all challenges but not achievement. I think there the problem might be that I completed all of the challenges before I completed the optional objectives. Just a theory.

As with the previous DLCs, the challenges won't become available until you beat this map at least once.

There are five challenges for you to complete, and to minimise playthroughs, it is best to combine certain challenges with one another.

Here is the list of challenges:
  • Did you hear that? - Get 40 or more Ghost kills
    Ghost kills count when your player dot on the mini-map is white. If it is yellow or red, then the counter will not go up. However, if the enemy dot on the mini-map is yellow (searching), then that will count. Combine this with Subsonic.
  • Anatom For Snipers - Organ shot an enemy every 2 minutes.
    To get an Organ shot simply aim for anywhere in the chest; Lung, Heart, Stomach, Intestine. Any other shot (i.e. headshot) will not count.

    For the most efficient way in, see the map below:



    Simply follow the red line to get to the secret entrance the quickest way possible. The red circle indicates an enemy that will be leaning or sitting on the bench by the tree, and you can use him to get the time reset. Rush to kill Bosch (another Organ shot to reset the timer), head to the reactor and destroy it. From here, you will probably need another Organ shot once done rush to the extraction point.
  • Subsonic - Suppressed Ammo Kills only
    Before you start, make sure 3 of your item loadout slots have suppressed ammo in to give you around 30 bullets to start with. Combine this challenge with Did you hear that?.
  • Research Assistant
    There are 3 Scientists on the map for you to knock out, and they will be marked via "?" as these are also optional objectives for you to complete. However, the following map below will show the locations of their safes, but the scientist will generally be on the same floor as the building (or nearby). They can easily be identified via their white overalls, and once looted, they will also give you the key to the safes.

  • Field Studies - Get 10 or more kills with different weapons.
    Self-explanatory. Your first three weapons in your loadout will give you kill counts as well as melee. From here just pick up the weapons the enemies drop. If you are struggling, there is an optional objective at the top of the first island for you to get into the Armoury. The Officer nearby will have the key for this. Once opened, get the remaining kills you need with the different weapons inside the Armoury. You can also combine this challenge with "Research Assistant", but make sure you do the former first.
These challenges can also be tracked. To do so, press , select the one you want to track, and press .

In order to complete these challenges, you need to have played through the mission at least once; they are not available to you in your first playthrough of the mission. However, once you complete a challenge, it saves automatically so you do not have to complete it again. It is recommended that you try to complete these on a lower difficulty.

There are five challenges in this DLC:

  • Anatomy for Snipers - Organ shot an enemy every 2 minutes
    • You have 2 minutes to get an organ shot. When you get one, the timer resets for another 2 minutes. You need to get an organ shot within every 2 minutes until you complete the mission. Headshots unfortunately do not count as an organ shot despite being required for “The Organ Grinder”.
  • Did you hear that? - Get 40 or more Ghost Kills
    • Ghost kills are kills performed by you without being seen.
  • Field Studies - Get kills with 10 or more different firearms
    • You carry three weapons to start, so you need to pick up 7 other weapons and get at least one kill with each.
  • Subsonic - Suppressed Ammo Kills Only
    • Equip a pistol and a rifle, both with suppressed ammo, and use only them to kill enemies. The Welrod unfortunately does not count; it has to be a weapon with suppressed ammo specifically.
    • If you have not unlocked “I Love Science” yet, do not attempt it while trying to complete this challenge. Knocking out any one of the three scientists voids this challenge.
  • Research Assistant - Recover all research papers in under 10 minutes
    • The timer starts at the beginning of the mission. There are three scientists with research papers in safes that are close to their starting location (they may relocate if they’ve been alerted) that you need to obtain in less than 10 minutes. When you encounter a scientist, knock them out and search them or pick them up to find a safe code. Alternatively, you can blow the safe open with explosives. Repeat for the other two scientists. Open all three safes and obtain the documents in less than 10 minutes.

Completing all five challenges will take a minimum of two playthroughs. The achievement will unlock when you have completed the final challenge. ‘Anatomy for Snipers’ and ‘Subsonic’ unlock when you complete the mission. ‘Did you hear that?’, ‘Research Assistant,’ and ‘Field Studies’ unlock when they are completed within the mission.

Note: If you have not unlocked “Challenge Accepted” yet from the main game's achievement list, acquiring this achievement will also unlock that one.
