Reach the VIP without setting off the alarm in Exfiltration

For this achievement, you and your partner need to time your attacks perfectly. There are almost always two enemies together and you will need to kill them both at the same time. You will also need to take out the CCTV cameras to avoid setting off the alarm. The only real tricky part is near the end where one player will have to shoot a guard and a camera with the same shot while the other player takes out the second guard.

Once they have gotten off the street, there will be a few more enemies that come rushing. Take out one or two of them for safety sake and the achievement/trophy will pop as you start to make your way off the roof.

Headshot each of the targets in the gun range in Kaffarov

When you are traversing through the house during the mission “Karrarov” you will go through a dark hallway down some stairs where you fight a corridor of enemies with flashlights. Once they are dispatched, your two buddies will keep cover at a door and tell you to find another way around. Head down the stairs on the right side and you will go through a firing range. There are 15 targets throughout the range that need to be shot in the head. There is only one that moves and it is the last one. During your way through, some enemies will appear, so make sure not to accidently shoot the targets while taking down the enemies.

Once you hit the garage level B, this will pop.
