Giant Accomplishment Guide

[Connie]

This is a WIP guide for the trophy Giant Accomplishment in black ops 2. (complete all challenges in the single player campaign)
 

Mission 01_ Pyrrhic Victory

Challenges

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x15) with machete.

In the lower two difficulties, this is as simple as sprinting at the MPLA soliders and hacking at them as you get close enough. A good place to get this challenge is at the very start of the mission as the MLPA soliders charge towards the convoy

• Destroy all MPLA tanks.

Once you have killed the mortar crews you will be able to call for air support with the up button on the D-pad. You will be in control of a helicopter and control of its weapons. You will only need your rockets (use L2 for rockets) to destroy the tanks, you'll only need one rocket to kill a tank so just ai for the middle of the tank and shoot a couple of rockets to make sure it blows up. There is 2 waves of tanks and you have to take out all 13 tanks to complete this challenge (4 tanks in the first wave, 9 in the second.). Note that in the second wave you will only see 4 tanks as you fly across, but when you fly back 5 more will have re-spawned. You'll get the challenge after you have killed the last tank.

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x5) with one mortar explosion.

Just after you've destroyed the 2 waves of tanks, Savimbi tells you to join him. Just before you do go to one of the other vehicles with the "access" sign on it and pick up the mortars. As they charge you down wait for 5 of them to crowd around each other and throw your mortar when equipped (R1) in the middle of them. If you don't get it the first try just let them kill you and try again.

• Sink enemy vessels (x5)

When you're at the boat section, you'll find 2 MGs attached to the boat. Clear out all the enemies on the boat first then jump on the MG on the first floor. Now with the MG aim towards the back of the boat and you'll see enemy vessels approach you from this direction, simply mow down any boats you see from this side, it should be easy enough. If you haven't destroyed 5 go to the upper deck and use that MG to destroy the boats coming that side too.

• Dive to prone on an enemy grenade and survive.

There isn't really a perfect place to get this challenge i'm afraid. The MPLA occasionally toss grenades at your position when you're in the jungle areas. Whenever you see the grenade indicator, sprint towards it and hold the crouch button at the same time to dive onto the grenade. You will only get the challenge if you survive so make sure you're on a low difficulty when you go for this one.

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) with animal traps

When you get sent to find a Radio, you will come across a access point in a little wood shed. In here you will find animal traps and the Dragonav sniper rifle. Start placing the animal traps around the area leading back the way you came (you will be running back this way with enemies following you), then head to the radio shack to spawn the enemies. Don't shoot the enemies that get stuck in the animal traps as they will die slowly anyways and won't pose any threat. Place all the ones you have in places you think the enemy will walk by, if you run out there are ammo crates that llow you to replenish your traps. Just keep placing them around until you finish the challenge.

• Kill (x4) enemies with one mortar primed animal trap

Keep a few mortars when you first get them and when you get the traps you can combine the 2 so when someone activates the animal trap it'll set the mortar off killing anyone near it. Press up on the D-pad to select the animal trap and set it down outside the wooden shed, then press x on the trap to add the mortar round, all that is left to do is step back and watch for the explosion. Another good place to get this is in the narrow path between the two jungle areas.

• Use elevated improvised positions for confirmed sniper kills

As you retreat through the jungle with Woods and Hudson there are poachers platforms where you can climb up and snipe enemies that are chasing you. Get 20 kills whilst on these platforms with the Dragunov. The sniper is found in the wooden shed as you're looking for the radio, the same place as the animal traps, pick it up instead of one of your weapons. You don't have to get 20 kills on the same platform, there are multiple platforms scattered in the jungle (3 to be precise). You can also start the mission with a sniper if you have unlocked one.

• Collect Intel (x3)

First Intel: The first Intel is located next to the truck with the access door on it where you get the mortars. To the right of this vehicle is a crater, where the Intel is located.

Second Intel: The second Intel is found on the upper deck of the boat that you jump on from the helicopter. When you are on the upper deck search near the upper MG next to the bridge and it'll be laying next to a brown metal box next to the boat's cockpit.

Third Intel: The third and last Intel is found in the jungle area. As you are retreating to the beach for extraction, climb up the first poachers stand ( the high platform, in the second jungle area and the last Intel will be there.

• 100% Survivability rating.

Don't die. Just take your time advancing through the level, using cover effectively and only advancing when you are sure you can do so safely. If you do die you might as well restart the level and try again. Go on the easiest difficulty for this challenge.

Mission 02_ Celerium

Challenges

• Eliminate enemy helicopter before liftoff.

As you enter the enemy base you will come up to a ramp where a helicopter is attempting to take off. Quickly pull out the Titus-6 and fire a couple of shots at the drone . These explosions will keep it grounded for good. 

• Destroy sentry turret (x2) while disabled.

After the helipads you will cut through some buildings and enter some ruins, here you will find 3 sentry turrets that you will need to take care of. To disable these turrets toss a EMP grenade (L2) at them, this will disable the turrets for a short while. Take this opportunity to destroy them. I would recommend aiming for one turret at a time and using an EMP for each sentry turret just to make sure you have long enough to destroy them both. If you still have ammo for your Titus you might want to use that to destroy the disabled turrets. 

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x5) with one round from Titus weapon.

Your second weapon is the Titus 6 AB and it fires flechette explosives. You need to find a location with four enemies in close proxmity to each other and fire en explosive in the middle of them. There are many enemies around the helipads . Before you taje control of the helicopter's turret, find and lure 4 enemies or more together and take them out with a well placed shot with your Titus weapon.

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) with helicopter turret

After destroying the drone there is an Access point on the bottom of another airship ahead. This gives you control of the helicopter's turret. There is plenty of enemies scattered around so getting 10 kills shouldn't be much of a problem. Take out the 2 vehicles first then kill the rest of the enemy personnel you can see.

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x30) while using Optical camo.

You will find an Optical Camo suit of your own in the research facility in the Access Point. When you first enter the research facility turn to your right and you will see the Access crate. Hack into it to get the suit. Press down on the D-pad to activate the camouflage and start to silently take down your foes. Don't get carried away however cause you aren't completely invisible, just less noticeable. When you have the suit activated try flanking the enemies and taking them out as they are being distracted by your team mates. 

• Destroy enemy ASDs (x2) by exploding nitrogen tanks.

The game will tell you to target the nitrogen tanks, letting you know when to start aiming for this challenge. As you proceed to the lower labs via the elevator a ASD will start to attack you, immediately shoot at the nitrogen tanks that are to the left off center and it'll freeze any enemies and the drone. then proceed through the level for the next opportunity to take down another ASD via a nitrogen and apply the same tactic of waiting for it to get close before destroying the nitrogen tanks.

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) with the Assault Shield.

Harper will grab an Assault Shield from one of the manufacturing units. Wait for another to appear from the second unit and pick it up. By pressing the fire button, you can bash an enemy with the Shield. Take out 10 enemies with this bash attack, it may take two hits for a kill just keep hitting them with the shield until they die basically.

• Protect ASD resource from destruction.

Make sure the friendly ASD doesn't die. Kill the enemies that decide to target the ASD first and try to keep in front of the ASD, making the enemies target yourself rather than your ASD. As long as it lives until the end of the mission you will complete this challenge.

• Collect intel (x3)

First Intel: At the first Access Point where you take control of the helicopter's turret is where you will find your first Intel. After using the drone's weapon to eliminate foes, search the room behind you and you'll find it next to the monitors.

 

Second Intel: After you get the Camo Suit and taking out the ASDs, enter the office on the left and the second intel is sitting right there on the desk inside. 

 

Third Intel: As you advance through the level you will enter the Lab 42, two turrets lower from the ceiling of this lab, once you take them out enter the room ahead to find the final Intel sitting on the far desk.

• 100% Survivability rating.

Don't die. Just take your time advancing through the level, using cover effectively and only advancing when you are sure you can do so safely. If you do die you might as well restart the level and try again. Go on the easiest difficulty for this challenge.

 

Mission 03_ Old Wounds

Challenges

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x15) with pulwar sword.

At the start of the mission before you follow Zhao, run past your horse and approach the nearby Access point. Here you will find the Pulwar Sword that you need for this challenge. Then you can melee kill the next 15 enemies you see. I would do this after you get off your horse for the first time, when you have to destroy the Soviet BTRs. Sneak around the the base taking the Russians down one by one with a melee kill each.

• Destroy enemy helicopter with mortar.

After a meeting with some of your allies, go into the room on the left as you leave the cave and you will find another Access Point. In this Access Point you will find the mortars you will need to destroy an enemy helicopter. As you exit the cave jump on your horse and travel with Zhao and Frank  out of the base. After some time you will find a landing helicopter, quickly switch to your mortar rounds and when you get close enough, toss the explosive directly at the helicopter and get the challenge.

• Destroy tank with anti-tank mine.

When you make it to the Weapons Cache with the stinger go to the opposite side of the platform to find an Access Crate with some anti-tank mines in. You will need these mines later in the mission when tanks start to attack your base. When you are tasked to defend your base from tanks and enemy soldiers, its time to equip the anti tank mine. Get ahead of one of the incoming tanks, jump off your horse and place an anti-tank mine infront of the tank. Then retreat a bit to make sure you don't get run over or die by the tank. You can also make sure you kill the tank by placing more than 1 mine.

• Run down enemy personnel (x10) on horseback.

For most of this mission you will be on your trusty horse so you will have plenty opportunities to run people over...with your horse. Basically every time you are on your horse look out for enemies on the ground, sprint directly into them to run him over and kill him, to sprint whilst on a horse all you have to do is press and hold the L3 button, the same when you're on the ground. Find 10 enemies to do this to, they are scattered around most of the time when you are riding from one place to another but if you make it to the enemy base there will be plenty bunched up together than you can run into.

• Destroy enemy helicopter with truck mounted MG.

Look for an overturned jeep near the red flag northeast from the base entrance. Behind that flag is a truck with a mounted MG. Take out any enemies around it and then use the MG to take down one of the choppers. Make sure you avoid destroying helicopters until you get on the MG just to make sure you have a target to aim for in the sky. This is best done when you are defending your base from the tanks and helicopters.

• Eliminate enemy helicopter (x4) at North Pass.

When taking the Weapon Cache back at North Pass (the area with the three wood bridges) stock up on Stinger missiles and start to take out the enemies helicopters. If there isn't any in the air continue to take out the other enemies and progress through the mission to spawn more helicopters that you can shoot down. You can use your lock on mode to destroy them easier but you can also get the other challenges if you haven't got them already.

• Utilize Stinger (without aircraft lock-on) to destroy enemy helicopter.

You can do this at any point of the mission as long as you have the stinger. Press left on the D-pad to switch the aircraft lock on mode off and aim at a chopper, keep it in your sights and wait for it to slow down as it turns or fires at a target. Then fire a rocket at the helicopter and hope you hit it, if not fire again until you do!

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x25) using alternative fire mode on Stinger.

The Stinger's alternative fire mode allows you to manually detonate the rocket when you free fire it without locking onto an aircraft. Use this capability to manually detonate the stinger missile when it's over a group of enemies. This causes a "rain of fire" effect, killing enemies below the blast. Kill 25 foes like this for the challenge.

• Collect intel (x3)

First Intel: After meeting with Rahmaan in the Mujahideen base, grab the Intel off the gun crates in the corner of the same room. 

 

Second Intel: As you are defending your base look for the red flag near the ammo crate. It'll be located northwest of the base entrance. Resting next to the flag is the second Intel.

 

Third Intel: At the North Pass next to the first bridge on the right there will be a cave. Search inside the cave and you will find the final piece of Intel lying there on the floor near some rocks.

• 100% Survivability rating.

Don't die. Just take your time advancing through the level, using cover effectively and only advancing when you are sure you can do so safely. If you do die you might as well restart the level and try again. Go on the easiest difficulty for this challenge.

 

Mission 04_ Time and Fate

Challenges

• Eliminate PDF enemies (x7) with shotguns in under 10 seconds.

You start out the game with a shotgun so you don't need to go look for one. You need to kill 7 people in quick succession for this challenge, a good place to get this is when you first get the opportunity to pick up an axe and kill an enemy with it. Kill the guy before you get to the axe then continue through a door way, ignore the axe and spray and pray with your shotgun on the 6 enemies infront of you. If you manage to kill them all in less than 10 seconds, you'll complete this challenge. You can always die and try again.

• Eliminate PDF enemies (x8) with truck mounted MG.

Blast your way through anyone that tries to stop you until you see a truck crash through the mission gate. Jump on the truck and mount the machine gun on the back of it, as the enemies advance on your position, shoot them with the MG, not much accuracy is required with the MG just shoot in the general direction of the enemies and you'll get kills, once you have 8 you will have completed this challenge. There isn't any other place to get this challenge.

• Rendezvous with Josefina in under 140 seconds.

Basically just run through the entire mission until you reach Josefina especially if you are on easy mode. If enemies are starting to get in the way spray a couple of shots from the hip to deal with them and carry on running to the end. I'd recommend being on a low difficulty and sprinting all the way, its made easier by the fact you play as Menendez who can run really fast and take a lot of bullets due to his rage mode.

• Eliminate cartel enemy personnel with Molotovs. (x12)

When you start to play as Mason, you will cross a river and come across some buildings. On the right there will be a house with some stairs you need to run up to enter the house. Inside the second room you will find an access point with the Molotovs in. You won't get 12 molotovs so try to hit groups of enemies to get multi-kills. There is ammo crates further on in the mission (near the second access point) where you can get more molotovs to use to get more kills for this challenge. Try to aim for direct hits when using the molotovs but note that the fire that they leave behind after it explodes can also kill them too.

• Crash an enemy truck.

As a truck with a mounted machine gun charges your way, Woods says to take out the driver. Aim for the driver of this vehicle and fire as much as you can at him to either kill him or force him to crash. Make this a priority when you see it coming. 

• Eliminate cartel enemy personnel with mortars. (x10)

After you jump off a balcony, open the left storage door marked with the word "Access". There will be mortars inside, notice there is an ammo crate next to the mortars so you can return to get more ammo if needed. Now switch to your mortars and advance through the mission looking for enemies to throw mortars at. Simply throw all your mortars at the enemies near the courtyard, trying to get as many kills as possible and once you have run out of mortars run back to the garage and get more mortars. Repeat this until you manage to kill 10 enemies with mortars.

• Eliminate cartel enemy personnel with machete. (x10)

After dropping into a bunker, pick the lock to the Access door on the left and grab the machete. There isn't much of the mission left at this point so i would advise melee attacking the next 10 enemies you see with your machete to get this challenge as quickly as possible.  

• Locate evidence of CIA presence.

When you're in the bunker you will come across a room with enemies destroying documents in furnaces. Here you will find evidence of the CIA's presence. It is located next to the furnace  If you go to the furnace  turn to the right and continue until you reach a dead end. A CIA memo is on the desk, untouched.

• Collect intel (x3)

First Intel: As Menendez you will run through a burning barn on the way to the mission objective. In this barn, next to the exit you will find a wagon on the right hand side. The Intel is behind this wagon sitting on some hay.

 

Second Intel: As Mason you will jump off a balcony and come across a courtyard near an access point with a bell tower nearby. Inside the bell tower, step off the ladder at the middle floor. The second Intel sits on a crate.

 

Third Intel: The final Intel is found in the the bunker near the end of the mission. Before you reach the furnace room search the bunker for a small storage room in the south west side of the first area in the bunker. The Intel is sitting on a bench near the wall.

• 100% Survivability rating.

Don't die. Just take your time advancing through the level, using cover effectively and only advancing when you are sure you can do so safely. If you do die you might as well restart the level and try again. Go on the easiest difficulty for this challenge.

 

Mission 05_ Fallen Angel

Challenges

• Avoid damage from large debris in streets.

There is a part near the start of this mission where you have to move up a flooded street whilst cars, buses and rocks come washing down the street. For this challenge you are not allowed to take any damage from any of these large debris. Stay close to Harper and your other team mates during this part of this mission, literally be right by there side throughout. They won't take any damage so if you're right next to them you won't either. You'll know you've made it when the game informs you that you've beaten the challenge.

• Direct CLAWs to eliminate enemy personnel (x8) in the flooded street.

You have the ability to direct the CLAWs to attack a specific location. Press up to access a blue aiming reticle. Place it on the location you want the CLAWs to attack (preferably places where large groups of enemies are) and press the fire button to confirm. It takes a short while for the CLAW to get ready after firing. When the icon appears above your ammo count, you know its ready again. When you are in the flooded street and the CLAWs have gone onto the roof. Direct the CLAWs to attack the street and balconies and large group of enemies so they kill 8 enemies. For this challenge i would just let the CLAWs kill everything and not fire your own gun to kill anyone until you have finished the challenge.

• Record 400TB of data from Menendez surveillance.

Once you have identified Menendez you start to record his conversations with Defalco. To record the conversations you have to use the scanner, up on the D-Pad. To record enough data always keep the scanner out until they get out of range and you have to move closer by jumping over to different rooftops. Every chance you get to record Menendez take it so you can maximize the amount of data you record.

• Incinerate enemy personnel (x10) with Flamethrower Attachment.

At the very start of the game approach the Brutus (the tank) and use your Access Kit to enable its flamethrower. Then later on in the mission when you control the Brutus (left on the D-pad) you can use the flamethrower (L2) go burn your enemies. But it only fires infront of its body and not the turret so you have to turn the drone to aim in different locations. Kill 10 enemies as soon as you get control of the Brutus. Walk infront of them and turn on the flamethrower.

• Protect CLAWs (x2) from destruction.

For this i would recommend controlling the CLAWs and using their immense firepower to quickly take out the enemies with RPGs on the roofs then concentrate on destroying the vehicles both the helicopters and trucks. Then finish off the RPGs on the street. As long as both of the CLAWs survive then its ok, the Brutus can die but its better if it lives so you can help the CLAWs. 

• Deploy SOC-T boost to find alternative routes. (x2)

After fighting with your CLAWs you have to make a choice whether to use a drone or whether to drive the SOC-T, make sure for this challenge you choose the SOC-T. You will gain control of the SOC-T and start to chase enemy vehicles across the water. In this chase sequence there is 2 alternative routes you can take. For the first shortcut turn onto the left road and look for a sign ramp on the right hand side of a highway that you'll need to boost over to jump across to the other highway. The second shortcut is a dirt/coal ramp, near the factory just past the hotel and the office, that you'll also have to boost over to hit the glass window into the alternative route. To use the vehicle's boost press the X button. 

• Destroy enemy vehicles (x20) with drone missiles

After fighting with your CLAWs you have to make a choice whether to use a drone or whether to drive the SOC-T, make sure for this challenge you choose the Drone. As the Drone you fly over the vehicles and shoot enemy aircraft, and SOC-Ts for your teammates. Use the Drone's Missiles (L2) to destroy the vehicles. The missiles are more effective than your 40mm cannon anyways so just use your missiles exclusively. You need to destroy 20 in total in this part. It is a short objective so destroy as many as you can before the part is over and you are returned to your SOC-T.

• Destroy enemy vehicles (x8) with the SOC-T.

After fighting with your CLAWs you have to make a choice whether to use a drone or whether to drive the SOC-T, make sure for this challenge you choose the SOC-T. To take out enemy vehicles you have to use the boost button (X) to get extra speed and knock into the enemy's vehicle destroying it completely. You will have to use the boost power up to knock into 8 different enemy vehicles. I would not go for the alternative route challenge at the same time as this, but it is possible to do both in the same playthrough. Just line up behind an enemy's vehicle and activate the boost button. Rinse and repeat 8 times.

• Collect intel (x3)

First Intel: At the start of the mission before following the CLAWs, search the shelves on the west side of the storage room and you'll find the first Intel.

 

Second Intel: After making it through the flooded street. Break through the gate, avoiding the bus that comes past, and enter the alley on the right hand side. The second Intel lies on the ground here.

 

Third Intel: After entering the fallen building at the end of the street, wait for the drone to leave the area and then search under the rubble to find the final Intel.

• 100% Survivability rating.

Don't die. Just take your time advancing through the level, using cover effectively and only advancing when you are sure you can do so safely. If you do die you might as well restart the level and try again. Go on the easiest difficulty for this challenge.

 

Mission 06_ Karma

Challenges

• Obtain retina scan in less than 60 seconds.

For this challenge you have to use Ziggy the remote controlled spider. R2 will fire the zapper and pressing the x button will make the spider jump. Remember the route that the spider has to take. You can check your mission time in the bottom left corner. Any time you are on a flat surface, jump to make up time as you get a little boost every time you jump. It may take a few tries to memorize the route but once you get the boosts and route learnt you'll do it in no time. 

• Retrieve precious cargo (Ziggy).

After gaining access to the next area search near the dead bodies to pick up Ziggy. Do this before you access the computer so you don't miss this challenge and you won't have to replay the level from the start to get it.

• Kill enemy personnel with headshots (x5) in Club Solar.

When you get ambushed in the club you will scatter off the dance floor and counter attack the PMC soldiers. Aim for the PMC soldiers heads during the slow motion sequence on the dance floor. You only need to take out 5 with headshots. Take your time during the slow motion parts and try to get 2/3 headshots per sequence. 

• Ensure zero non-combatant casualties.

Simple challenge, only shoot the people who are shooting at you! If you want to make sure you don't kill any civilians, go onto the easiest difficulty and take out enemies one by one. Ensuring that they shoot at you first and there isn't civilians running past enemies. Once you get out of the Colossus without killing any civilians you will get the challenge. 

• Eliminate rappelling enemies (x5).

Whilst you are chasing Deflaco and Karma through the mall enemies will rappel into the mall from above. Target these enemies first so that you can kill them before they land onto the floor. These guys only take a few bullets to kill as they lose their grip and fall to their death if the bullets don't kill them first.

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x25) in the outdoor area.

As soon as you get outside from the mall, kill 25 people before advancing to the next objective. Its doesn't matter how you kill, just kill them!

• Incapacitate enemy personnel (x20) using Combatant Suppression Knuckles.

Defaclo has Karma and is escaping through the mall, but before you pursue him, stop off at the armory and pick up the Combatant Suppression Knuckles from the Access Point. Once you get the Knuckles start to melee the PMC soldiers whenever you get the chance. Melee 20 people, the Mall is a good place to get these kills. Aim for one target at a time and don't aim for groups. Use your flash grenades to stun your enemies and making an melee kill easier for you.

• Protect ASD resource from destruction.

When you are chasing through the mall you will find a ASD in a small room. Kill any enemies near this ASD and keep it alive until the end of the mission. You can either do this by staying near the ASD and taking out enemies then or going ahead and killing enemies before they get the chance to destroy your ASD. But beware of the other enemy ASDs, as they might try to destroy your ASD before they aim for you. So kill them first!!

• Collect intel (x3)

First Intel: Once you gain access to the CRC computer, head over to the east side where you will find a desk with the Intel sitting on top. 

 

Second Intel: As you enter the mall you will find a clothing store called "d'Ho" on the first floor of the mall. The second Intel sits on the back counter behind the register. 

 

Third Intel: After you make it through the mall you will get to an outside area, look out for a circular bar that is surrounded by water. Once you see this go past it and head over to the small kiosk to find the final Intel. You will be able to see the kiosk from the bar. 

• 100% Survivability rating.

Don't die. Just take your time advancing through the level, using cover effectively and only advancing when you are sure you can do so safely. If you do die you might as well restart the level and try again. Go on the easiest difficulty for this challenge.

 

Mission 07_ Suffer With Me

Challenges

• Perform a knife throw at enemy guard post.

Near the start of the mission you will arrive at a beach, once you have gotten out of your boat head towards the first objective. You will find a enemy guard post at the top of the hill, let mason kill the first guard and wait until your character takes out his knife to throw it. Get a clear sight on the guard and press the fire button (R1) to throw it at him. 

• Survive an enemy RPG blast which causes enemy collateral damage.

Follow Mason into an office area, move into the middle of the office and let the rocket launcher fire at you. Another enemy should be approaching on the catwalk outside the office. Step to the left to survive the blast and score the challenge

• Destroy Noriega's private jet.

Once you see a truck with a mounted MG shooting at you, you should also see a big plane next to this. Use any explosive you have to blow it up, i'd bring a RPG for this one!

 

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) with truck mounted MG.

Once you exit the office area you will come outside to an airport with a warehouse infront of you. A truck  with a mounted machine gun will pull up infront of you. First take out the solider on the truck and quickly jump on the mounted MG as there isn't many enemies in this area. Start spray down enemies with your mounted MG, you may find a few hiding inside the building, you will want to kill everyone you see for this challenge. Mason will also be targeting these guys so be quick!

• Destroy enemy ZPU (x1).

A ZPU is a anti-aircraft gun. which you will find one of the rooftops. You will find a big structure in the middle of a courtyard that has cracks in it, it eventually blows up but to the left of this you will see it on the rooftop, use your RPG to destroy it, if you miss just kill yourself

• Distract enemy personnel (x8) with nightingale grenades at the same time.

You will get these grenades in an access box  before you head to the roof. Whilst you are on the catwalk, pree up on the D-pad to selec your nightingale greandes and toss on down below. Kill all 8 enemies that are distracted by the grenade.

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x15) with IR strobe.

You will see a fence gate with an access point in, this is where you will find the IR strobes on a fallen soldier. Toss an IR stroe in the middle of some enemies to call down gunship fire on that position. Use this on the street next to where you found the strobes and anywhere you find a group of bad guys. 

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x8) in the clinic.

You may have difficulty with this one as Mason tries to kill the enemies and there is only 8 enemies on recruit difficulty. I'd recommend using the grenade launcher or a good machine gun to literally just spray and pray when you get up to this point, to quickly kill all 8 bad guys before mason does. This may take a couple of tries to get. 

• Collect intel (x3)

First Intel:  In the office area, after you go past the first access point you will see some shelves before going downstairs, on the left hand side is the intel.

 

Second Intel: After you meet up with Mason again. You will find an ammo box in a building (electronica store), in the same building on the counter is the second intel

 

Third Intel:  From the clinic enterance, move down the hall and enter the open doorway ahead. The final intel is sitting next to the sink. 

• 100% Survivability rating.

Don't die. Just take your time advancing through the level, using cover effectively and only advancing when you are sure you can do so safely. If you do die you might as well restart the level and try again. Go on the easiest difficulty for this challenge.

Second Chance
Challenges

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) as an HVI.

As soon as you find the HVI switch to her and control her. Then pick up one of the Rifles the guards you just killed and eliminate 10 soldiers. I would focus on getting the kills first before making your way to the extraction point, there will be plenty of enemies to kill

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) as VTOL turret gunner.

Take control of hte VTOL turret first by pressing up on the D-pad. With the VTOL Warship you have an areial view of the battlefield and will be able to see high traffic areas of enemies. Move towards the enemies and rain hell on them. The VTOL has different weapons you can use from rockets to machine guns, so if your rockets don't work you can switch to your machine gun for a more accurate shot. If the enemies are hiding away in a building, aim a rocket through a window or door and try to get a kill that way. More enemies will spawn outside when you have rescued the HVI so if you're struggling for kills rescue her then switch to the VTOL for the rest of the kills required.

• Melee enemy personnel (x10).

Simply knife the first 10 enemies you see with the R3 button. If you are having trouble with this go on the easiest difficulty and knife one enemy at a time making sure you take cover to regain health if need be.

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x15) with headshots.

I would recommend you use a assault rifle for this challenge or something you're confident getting headshots with. When you have found a suitable weapon take your time and engage enemies one by one so you can focus on just the one enemy at a time. Then aim for his head and as long as the killing hit was to his head it'll count as a headshot. There is plenty of chances to do this as there seems to be an infinite spawn of enemies, so be patient and you'll get it.

• Destroy enemy quad drones (x4).

There is only a few enemy quads that spawn in this mission, so as soon as the mission starts switch to a unit and sprint down the stairs past a few buildings and look up in the air for the enemy quad drones. They mostly attack in pairs and don't take much fire power to kill, spray a few bullets with your gun and they will explode. I would do this on regular difficulty as you have to focus solely on the drones.

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x15) with explosives.

Each unit you can control has some sort of explosive weapon, either grenades of grenade launchers, There isn't any ammo crates where you can keep getting grenades from so you will have to get a few kills with a grenade with one unit then switch to another unit who also has grenades. Killing enemies with exploding cars also count towards this challenge. Keep trying until you get 15kills in total.

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x5) by exploding vehicles.

There is a limited amount of cars on this mission so you will have to be careful to not destroy any cars without getting kills with them. Try to lure multiple enemies near a car by running close to them and then running away past a car and as they follow you, you destroy the car killing them with it or wait for them to patrol near a car and kill them that way. It'll take a few trys at this before you get the challenge but check the video and try for yourself and you'll get it.

• Extract the HVI in less than 60 seconds.

On regular difficulty, run to all of the target buildings and find the HVI. She will never be in the first 3 so search the three outside locations first narrowing the possible location of the HVI to the two buildings closest to the extraction site. Once rescued, quickly move to back to the helicopter. Control Karma when you have rescued her so you can run quickly back to the extraction point. You don't need to kill many of the enemies only the ones holding the HVI hostage so just run past everyone to avoid wasting time.

• Find the HVI in less than 90 seconds.

There is 2 ways to do this. You can either split your troops up, so you would send a group of troops to one location whilst you investigate a different location and keep moving onto different locations until you have found her. Or you can run to all of the locations yourself, but i would only do this on regular difficulty.Bit of practice might be needed for this one.

• Complete the mission in Tactical View only.

Send all of your troops to each search point. Wait for word that the location is clear and send them to the next. Keep the Kraken around the guys or support. Once the HVI has been rescued, highlight her and send her directly to the extraction point. Keep the support and SEALs around her location.

Dispatch
Challenges

• Melee enemy personnel (x10).

Pretty simple, on the easy difficult sprint up to enemies and use your meele attack (R3). Rinse and repeat 10 times to get the challenge.

• Destroy enemy ASDs (x6) while disabled.

To disable a enemy ASD, toss a EMP at them and whilst it is disabled shoot at them with your primary weapons, There is plenty of ASDs on the map and you can see where they are on your radar. You need to do this 6 times for the challenge. I would also go for the destroy 2 ASDs with one explosion whilst you are going for this challenge as an emp grenade will stop them from moving apart of each other. If you run out of emp grenades swap characters.

• Complete mission with more than 3:00 minutes remaining

Basically just run and gun on recruit. Run down the side of the map killing everything in your way and cut inside when you reach a dead end, blow up the sentry turrets and ASDs near the plane and finish the mission.

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x20) with headshots.

Simply aim for the head 20 times. Good weapons to use are the assault rifles, plenty of enemies to kill.

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x15) with explosives.

Use explosives such as grenades and grenade launchers to kill enemies, the best bet is to aim for double/triple kills to save ammo. But if you do use all your grenades with getting 15 use a different character to get more grenades and carry on killing.

• Destroy sentry turrets (x3) while disabled.

Same as the ASDs but you only have to do 3 turrets. Throw an EMP at the turrets and use your primary weapons to destroy them whilst they are disabled, they can take a few bullets so feel free to spray and pray. 

• Destroy multiple ASDs (x2) with one explosion.

There is quite a few ASDs guarding the VTOL, when they are close together throw a emp at them, this will stop them moving apart. Then cook up a grenade and throw it in the middle of the ASDs and it'll kill possibly 4 ASDs in one explosion nevermind 1.

• Use only one hacking module to complete mission.

Jut protect the first one you plant, make sure everyone is dead before you put it down. Move your entire team over to the hacking module if you are having trouble. Then once planted make sure no one destroys it buy killing them all

• Eliminate enemy personnel (x10) while they are stunned.

All the non lethal grenades will count for this challenge, emp, stun and flash. With every enemy you see, quickly throw a flash or a stun (L2) then finish them off whilst they are covering their eyes or kneeling down.

• Complete the mission in Tactical View only.

I pushed all my forces down the right hand flank until they reached the VTOL, then order them to place down the hacking module and protect it, all from the select menu. I found this one to be one of the easier ones

Holy hell this seems ridiculous. "Dive to prone on an enemy grenade and survive" seems like it is completely luck based and a pain in the ass., and does "100% survivability rating" mean you can't die in the level? Also, do the challenges have to all be completed at once to count or can you replay as many times as you need to mop them up?

You can use level select to go back and finish the rest of the challenges for each level, 100% survivability is do not die in that level

Well that makes it easier. If you had to complete all those challenges in one go that would be insane. It still seems pretty hard though especially since that is only the first level.
