How to unlock the The Nutcracker - Sweet! achievement in Sniper Elite 4 - Definitive Guide

This can be done in the second mission, Bitanti Village, against the first two enemies you come across. Make sure to take the welrod pistol, as it is the weakest pistol in the game. Simply take out one enemy, while the other is not looking. Then run up to the second enemy and shot him in the foot, this should cause him to fall down and become incapacitated. Now switch to your sniper, aim between his legs and fire.

Here is a video guide with English commentary!

This does not work on Cadet difficulty. The first foot shot will not down the enemy, the second foot shot always kills them.

I unlocked this today on Cadet difficulty. It does work, but not every enemy will automatically be incapacitated. You just have to try your luck. Save your game just before you try, then you can keep reloading if it doesn't work.

OK. I just got this and found a nice way of doing it.

1. Play the game on Easy until you find an enemy on their own.
2. Change difficulty to HARD
3. Save your game
4. Use the Welrod to get them incapacitated.
5. Change difficulty to EASY
6. Save your game (incase you don't get nut shot)
7. Use your Rifle to get the nut shot

Hope this helps

Really straight forward achievement. All you have to do is down an enemy by shooting them anywhere but in an organ, so an arm or leg shot and finish him off with a testicle shot. Use the reticle guide to make sure for an accurate shot just to minimise the chance of missing.

This can be unlocked on any mission and on any difficulty.

It is very simple to achieve.

Simply shoot an enemy in the leg or foot to incapacitate them, you will know when they are incapacitated as they will remain on the floor and nearby enemies will run to them and try to carry them away.

If you are using your rifle, make sure you do not shoot them more than once to incapacitate them, as 2 shots, even in the leg will kill them (my experience on Sniper Elite difficulty).

*NOTE: Once incapacitated, the enemy will bleed out after time, so you will need to act fast in lining up a testicle shot once they are down, as if they bleed out before your shot hits, it will not count.

I did this with the rifle (not any other weapon: Welrod etc) so i cannot comment if the rifle is even needed to complete this achievement. I used the rifle for accuracy only, although other weapons would probably work.

Once the enemy is down, but not out simply line up a shot on enemy's testicles and fire.

Very easy to do, first you must incapacitate any enemy. Can be down fairly easy with a pistol like the welrod (silenced pistol). Shoot the enemy below the waist until they drop to the ground.

You’ll get an indication telling you you’ve incapacitated them. Once they are laying in the ground. Take your sniper rifle out and aim for the testicle area. Can’t miss it. I would stand back 2 meters or so and go for that nut cracker.

To gain this trophy load up any mission and proceed to the first enemy you see. Take out your pistol and shoot him in the foot, then pull out your sniper rifle and aim for the sweet spot (testicle) to unlock this trophy.

To incapacitate an enemy, you need to shoot them in a non-vital area of the body (for example, the foot) and have them fall down, writhing in pain. The Welrod generally works best for this as it is not very powerful and often takes more than one shot to kill an enemy if not aiming at the head. Once they are on the ground, switch to your rifle and focus at their groin. Shoot them and chances are it will be a testicle shot (but is possible it will be a kidney or intestine shot, or sometimes it will count as a general infantry kill).

This works on any difficulty. You can do this on any enemy in the game, but it might be easier if you wait until you are further into the campaign as they are stronger and have more health so are not prone to dying so quickly.

It is recommended that when you incapacitate an enemy, before performing the kill shot, make a manual save just in case your shot is not a testicle shot. This will provide you with limitless opportunities to get the correct kill.

Note: It does not have to show the x-ray killcam for the achievement to unlock so long as it’s a specific testicle shot.
