Does Anyone Here Have the "Shadow Ranger" Achievement?

    If so, who exactly did you kill?

    Yes I have it.

    I only killed the guys with shields, the flamethrower guy and the tank in the last level D6.

    Huh, I did the same thing on 360, was wondering if the shield guys counted against it. Seems like it's bugged, like all the Ranger DLC achievements.

    I have it as well and I too killed only the flamethrower and riot shield guys. The achievement popped fine for me, but I was playing the PC version. It's most definitely a bug - I've heard plenty of Xbox 360 users complain about this achievement and the one for completing the game in Ranger Mode. :( So if you plan on completing the game again in Ranger Mode, I recommend waiting until news of this being fixed in a patch. Of course, some people have managed to get this on the 360, but if you experienced this then I'd say wait for a patch and spare yourself some potential frustration.

    hold on, so you have to not kill anyone.. not even in THE CHASE level?

    id love to see the real math behind this archievement.
    for example.. can you kill already hostile ( Ie, targeting you and firing) humans?
    or you have to spare every single people?

    because there are so many parts where you cant just stand there, you HAVE to kill to advance. (like in the final parts of the redquare with pavel's advance forces, or THE CHASE, or the final fight)

    As I said... you can't kill ANYONE. Only use "knock out" or avoid them. It doesn't matter if enemy is hostile, shooting at you, giving you a wet willie.. you CAN'T kill! Spare everyone except enemies with shields, flamethrower and tank! (D6 level).

    On chase you just hide and spam medkits..In the train you run up and knock people out.

    On Red Square you just knock people out and avoid the snipers.

    And final battle you can just hide in a corner and your allies will kill the enemy. Then kill shields, flamethrower and tank.

    It's not too hard..actually.:)

    The Chase was probably the most frustrating part of the game for me, just because I didn't want to kill anyone and I was playing on Hard as well. :lol: I did it in the end, but it took me many attempts. Red Square wasn't actually that difficult to complete without killing people.
    At the very first part of the area, there are some wooden barriers with metal plates in them. All you have to do is hide behind those and wait for the snipers to come around the corner - knocking out each one as they arrive - whilst staying behind cover to avoid fire from the remaining snipers in the buildings. As soon as Pavel shouts that he has had enough and will let more people out to get you, you have to run as fast as you can to the doors at the end of the area and knock out all three(?) of the opponents that appear, one of them will be armoured. Once that's done you just have to chase Pavel and you can shoot at him, though you have to spare him at the end if you want to get the achievement.

    I mostly did (well, tried) it on Hard. I spent nearly an hour on the train level, and managed to get to the final guy once before being gunned down. After dying 15 times after that, I just dropped it down to easy and got it right away.

    Kept it on hard for the ambush. Took me half an hour, way easier than the train.

    I love how you haven't got the easiest ones, for example Rain Man. I got this achievment on my First Playthrough, though I did do it on Easy.

    It's been like that since May 26th. :p
    Btw, I just noticed that it's no longer at 100% for me. Have they added the DLC achievements already? Well, we can't see them - but now my achievements say 52/70 instead of the 52/52 that was shown before.

    No, you can't, you are being presented with a choice, nobody forces you to leave him to die :sad:

    On a related note, it is entrely possible to take the Hanza train back from the Reds on Chase level on Ranger Hardcore with hand-to-hand.
