How to unlock the Pass the Buck achievement in Sniper Elite V2 - Definitive Guide

This is going to be by far the quickest, easiest way to get this achievement. Load the prologue and shoot the pillar. Read below and see video

As you can see in the video I shoot the pillar. It has a square inside an square design on the sides of the pillar. Aim roughly in the middle top to the middle square and shoot. See video for an excited me.

You can also get the silent but deadly achievement doing this method. Just kill the guy and then restart the checkpoint.

Very good guide, took me two tries. Was just aiming in wrong spot first time, adjusted slightly and worked great. Two thumbs up for this guide.

I did this on the seventh mission Karlshorst Command Post just before you uncover wolff's plan there is a long corridor where around 10 enemies all run down the corridor which gives you plenty of time to have several shots a few metres in line with them and the bullets will ricochet off the ground and hit them.

This can be done any point in the game you feel will be easiest for you. The best time to do this is when their are a lot of enemies far away from you.

Hello this is a short video of the easiest way to get the 'Pass The Buck' and Front And Centre' Achievements on the first mission on cadet difficulty about 4-5 minutes into the mission!

On the Kaiser-Freidrich Museum level where you first encounter the Russians you'll receive a Mosin Nagant.

Go downstairs and outside up the street to the right is a bunch of soldiers being inspected by an officer. On the left of the street on a roof is a sniper facing his soldiers. Once you shoot one of the soldiers the sniper goes prone. If you are crouched to the left of the stairs you come down you'll be able to see the top of his head rubble will be blocking the rest of his face. Go into focus the red dot will appear hit the top of the rubble and it should ricochet and hit him on the face. It's right at a checkpoint if you fail, and need to redo it.

This is one of the few times I feel that a visual representation is better than a written one. I will link an excellent video guide. All credit goes to askseventeen.

This trophy will probably not come through natural play, and is actually quite tricky to obtain. With a scoped shot, you need to bounce a bullet off of an object (floor, wall, car etc) and then the bullet must hit the enemy in the head. This video shows an excellent place for the trophy (if you fail, just select "Restart Checkpoint" and try again.)

There is a better place to get this trophy - mission 6 of the Tergarten Anti-Aircraft Guns. Go upstairs to the umbrellas themselves. Behind each anti-aircraft gun sits an anti-aircraft gunner, who does not react at all to your shooting, hits, etc. Your task is just to choose the optimal angle and the trophy is yours. The target does not move, bullets readily ricochet off the metal part of the anti-aircraft gun, the distance between the enemy’s skull and the part of the anti-aircraft gun for a ricochet is tiny - the ideal place.

According to the actions described above, it did not help either in the 6th or in the 8th chapter. A very random trophy, but it can be done in 30 seconds at the Cadet difficulty level in the prologue. (don't forget to disable Tutorial in the options)

VIDEO that I got right the first time.

The best place for this trophy is in mission 8. Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljjhDtcHdkQ&hd=1
