How to unlock the Damn Close achievement in Spec Ops: The Line - Definitive Guide

An edged weapon expert is an enemy with a knife and they usually run at you without hesitation so you need to watch out.
The first time you encounter these is near the end of Chapter 5 - The Edge.
After the bit where you pick up the sniper there is a long combat part. Once you have completed that, carry on until you are next in combat. (This should be inside another ruined buliding) There are a couple of enemies which you kill first, then you want to get to cover where you just killed them. After a few seconds one of these knife runners will charge at you, just back off the cover and he should jump over. As he is jumping over just kill him and providing you are less than 5 metres away you will get the achievement.

I got this achievement in Chapter 5, just after you fall through the skylight.

You need to take out the guy who wears a beret and runs at you with knife. The important thing to remember is that he must be within 5 meters of you when you kill him.

I've made a video to show where I got this as I'm pretty sure this is the first place you can get it.

Hope this helps but any feedback, please leave a comment.

Edged Weapon Experts are kamikaze enemies who sprint at you with melee weapons. Most times when they appear they will get within five meters of you regardless of if you want them to or not. You will fight a ton of these guys throughout your two playthroughs so you should have no problem getting this trophy easily. I’m sure you will get it in chapter 5 when you are first introduced to these CQC experts.

If you need additional information or just prefer visual aids then refer to FLIPADELPHIIA’s video below.

The very first time you encounter an edged weapon expert will be in Chapter 5. After your first sniper fight, you will fall down to an area. Some enemies will then come running through the doorway, and your team mates will tell you that one of the enemies is an edge weapon expert. He will be sprinting at you with his hand up in the air. Once he's close enough, take him out with whatever weapon you have, although I recommend a shotgun. If he gets to you, it's instant death. If you miss the opportunity, you can reload the checkpoint or attain it later in the game.

Experts run around with a knife in their hands. Let him approach you almost point-blank, then shoot.
