Piece of Cake
Requirements: Attack the canteen and kill everyone without taking damage, at the Veteran difficulty level. (the "Atlas Falling" mission)

You need to exterminate all of the enemies in the room without taking any damage, from a bullet or from an explosion. Additionally, you need to complete this mission at the Veteran difficulty level, which does not make your task easier.
The best solution is to pepper the room with frag grenades to exterminate the most of the enemies without exposing yourself to their fire. If you run out of frag grenades, use the flashbang grenades - throw one in, lean from behind the door and kill everyone within sight. After you run out of grenades, you need to count on your luck - lean out from behind your cover to kill an enemy and hope that he cannot hit you.
If you are packing an LMG (Light Machine Gun) you can simply lean from behind the door slightly and shoot all around the room. After you have emptied 2-3 magazines in this way, there is very little possibility that anyone survived. You will learn about whether the room is clear by means of the notification of saving the game. If you are hit, you need to load the checkpoint.

Cog in the Machine
Requirements: Stealth kill 5 enemies, before you reach the Black Zone. (the " End of Line " mission)

You kill the first enemy automatically, at the beginning of the mission. You encounter the second enemy while marching with your squad - it is going to be a single guard standing at the train, with his back turned at you. Then, you will reach an outpost where one of the enemies is sitting in the truck, with several others walking around nearby. Wait for a soldier to approach the driver and shoot them both. A moment later, the gate opens and there will be two soldiers to appear in front of you - kill them quickly, because your squad mates will do it if you don't, after several seconds (which does not count).

Description: to receive this achievement, the entire squad needs to reach the helicopter no later than 1 minute and 30 seconds before the timer reaches 0. This achievement is quite difficult to receive, because the entire squad must cooperate, sprint at the breakneck speed to the extraction point, and ignore the aliens - first of all, no one can lag behind or let himself be knocked down.
A good way to do that is deploy sentry guns along the escape route. This way, you will not have to bother about the swarm on your back.
Completionist
Requirements: Complete all challenges and escape.
Description: to receive this achievement, your squad must complete all of the challenges that you receive, and evacuate to the extraction point.
