How to unlock the Still Ain't Got Time to Bleed achievement in Sniper Elite 4 - Definitive Guide
I just unlocked this achievement a few minutes ago, using a method I was testing. The description says 'Complete a single player mission without using a Medikit or Bandage', okay, but can we die and getting the ach? The answer is YES.
I was on my way, mission 1, to do this fair, without using a Medikit or Bandage. But some enemies did kill me and I respawned quite at the same spot I died, just a few seconds earlier. The checkpoints in this game are very generous, we don't lost minutes of progression if we die. We almost respawn where we died, but just a few seconds earlier.
I think I died 3 times before reaching the end of the mission, and my assumption, test, my guess proved me right as the achievement popped and the debriefing screen.
So dying is not an obstacle. Take the time you want/need, die as many times as you want, but just don't use a Medikit or Bandage. I played almost the entire mission with just one unity of life. The screen gets a little darker as you're very injured, but we still can see clearly and react fine, it doesn't put a big handicap playing wounded.
And last point to confirm my method is that on mission 1 (I don't know for other levels), when we press start to pause the game and check some infos about the mission, in the challenges section I had the one named after the achievement: 'not using a Medikit or Bandage'. Toward the end of the level, I still had zero of those used, even though I died 3 times before.
This method makes this achievement a piece of cake, as long as you don't play a mission on difficulties where checkpoints are unavailable, making it harder if you restart at the very beginning if you die... During my run, I was on normal difficulty.
I hope this solution will help you. Take advantage of this trick to retrieve all the documents and make all the secondary objectives of the mission and thus cumulate several challenges/achievements including not using a Medikit or Bandage! ;-)
Let us know when done.
A few things can be done to make this achievement easier, play on Cadet difficultly, complete primary missions only for a quicker mission time, and use a stealth playing style.
All in all this really is not that difficult, as health does regenerate over time.
It is possible that you’ll unlock this without even trying. It is recommended that you do this on Cadet difficulty as playing on a higher difficulty would just make more work for yourself.
The trick to this achievement is to try and stay in cover and not to engage the enemy directly so you don’t get injured. Use sound masking wherever possible and your suppressed ammo when you can’t so you don’t give up your position. If you think it will cause issues, stay away from optional objectives as they will just make the mission longer. If you’ve been injured, it would be best to expose yourself to be killed so you can restart the checkpoint at full health. As long as you don’t use any bandages or medkits, the achievement will still unlock.
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.
