How to unlock the Sniper, Interrupted achievement in Sniper Elite 4 - Definitive Guide
quickest way to get this :)
Simply find a sniper on any mission, any difficulty and save the game before doing anything further.
Once saved, shoot the sniper without him detecting you. (do not let your detection bar go red, yellow is fine though). Once the sniper is dead, simply reload the game from your save and rinse and repeat killing the sniper a further four times.
Providing you do not get detected on any of the occasions, the kills will stack up until the achievement unlocks.
Knowing where a sniper is located is the key to unlocking this achievement. Otherwise, they will most likely see you before you see them in every situation.
This can be unlocked as early as Mission 2, ‘Bitanti Village’. One of your optional objectives from the start is to locate and kill the sniper. He is in a tower on the eastern part of the map (shown in the image below).
When you start the mission, there are two patrolling enemies directly in front of you. Take them out silently and in that same location, while crouched, look to the northeast with your binoculars and you will see a sniper approximately 250 meters away. At that distance, with you crouched, it's most likely he can’t see you. Tag him, put your binoculars away and make a manual save. When you’re back in the game, proceed to kill him when you have the opportunity (he moves around).
Once that’s done, just reload your save until the achievement unlocks. Killing this sniper will count towards the progress of “Gotta Cap 'em All” since this the first sniper you encounter in the game.
Note: If the sniper does happen to turn in your direction and sees you (‘Player Sighted’ will appear next to your compass), just reload the save. If you see the glare of his scope but he hasn’t seen you, wait for him to look away before you shoot.
The sniper drops a Sniper Report which is needed to complete the optional objective. It also counts towards “Greatest Hits.”
