How to unlock the Karl Shot First achievement in Sniper Elite 4 - Definitive Guide
good luck and enjoy :)
This achievement is going to require some patience. To unlock it, you need to travel from your insertion point in the northwest corner of the map to the ‘Destroy Net’ objective along the eastern part of the map, all without being seen. From your start point, the objective is approximately 420 meters away.
This can be tricky since there are a fair amount of enemies, especially near the beginning. It is recommended you make frequent manual saves and alternate between two (or even three) save slots in case you’re spotted immediately after you make a save (then you can always reload another save).
As you’re making your way to the objective, your detection arrow can begin to turn yellow or even yellow/red, but it becomes full red, your cover has been blown and you’ve been spotted. As long as the circle around your radar doesn’t turn yellow or red you’re safe. You can eliminate enemies along the way if you are not seen doing it and you kill them with one shot so they don’t have the opportunity to call for help. Go for headshots when in doubt. It is okay if bodies are discovered as it does not pinpoint your position; it only raises awareness of the enemies (and turns them yellow on your radar).
You can also be seen by snipers, but if you stay in their sight for too long, your position will be compromised and your radar will turn yellow (or red).
It is recommended that you attempt this on Cadet difficulty as the enemies are less aware of you on lower difficulties.
