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.

Great guide!

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.
