How to unlock the Hold the Line achievement in Sniper Elite: Resistance - Definitive Guide
Opposite from Hostile Takeover (10G), this one requires you to kill the invading sniper before they kill you. In order for someone to invade your game, you must allow Axis Invasions in your game. To turn it on or off, select Options from the main menu, then under the ‘Game’ heading you can toggle it. This can also be done while in a mission from the pause menu.
Note: It is suggested that you allow cross play for a better connection to potential invaders. Turning it on will allow people with a different Xbox console or Windows 10 to join your game. It is in the same menu as ‘Allow Axis Invasion’.
While you’re playing a mission, if someone joins your game you, you will get a notification on screen that you have been invaded. Throughout the invasion, there will be a notification in the top-left corner of the screen. Now it’s just a matter of locating and killing the invader. As with the other invasion achievement, you can use phones to determine their general location. Also, watch for enemies that move differently from the A.I. And, as with Hostile Takeover (10G), camping too long will result in your death. Once you kill the invader with any weapon, the achievement will unlock.
If you are playing in co-op, the person that kills the invader gets the achievement.
Boosting Method
You can also boost this with a friend or partner if you are just going for the achievement. However, for this to work, you need to go to the Options screen on the main menu and change ‘Allow Axis Invasion’ to ‘Invite Only’ or ‘On’.
Playing as the Resistance sniper, start a campaign mission, and when you have spawned in, invite your partner. To do this, press

You can click “RS” to activate focus and a sonar around your minimap. The direction of the sonar indicates the direction the enemy player can be seen.
Watch out for patrolling soldiers as they’ll alert the player to your location.

If you leave the Invasion setting turned on, you'll see other players entering your game and attempting to take you out. This can be especially tricky if you're in the middle of a mission and already up against AI-controlled enemies, so use the phones marked on your map while keeping a low profile to pinpoint their position. It's then a case of killing them before they can kill you. If you're struggling, try to rope in a friend to help you out if you can.

2. If the invader give up and disconnect or you finish the game during the invasion, you will "NOT" earn the achievement. You must kill the invading player to earn it.
3. Invading player will not die immediately from triggering landmines or traps, at most they will be severely injured. so if you want to use landmine or traps, make sure to go to the trap site and deliver the final shot after hearing the explosion.
If you repeatedly fail to defeat invading players, here are some strategies:
a. Find an enclosed indoor space with only one entrance, such as a house or tunnel.
b. Place landmines at points where they will definitely step on them. Example video:
Alternatively, you can shoot and kill a few German soldiers to create the illusion that you are trapped in front of the door, and then place grenade trap or Tyler mine on bodies.
c. Stay hidden and wait for the invading player. Since you are not moving, the system will punish you by directly revealing your location to the invader. They will think you AFK (away from keyboard), and very few players can resist this temptation until they trigger the trap.
d. After triggering the trap, they will usually immediately run for nearby cover to heal. At this point, you can use a submachine gun to kill him and earn the achievement.
