Requirements: You must land on an opponent.
Description: I would recommend finding a good spot where you'll have a chance to use a pipe or climb on top of a building to drop down on an opponent. A very good spot can be found soon after one of the checkpoints in Kobin's mansion (screen). You should retry this action several times there to score some points. First level of this challenge can be unlocked by landing on five opponents, however reaching the highest third level will require to successfully land on 30 hostiles.
Requirements; You must grab an opponent standing next to a window or a balustrade.
Description: Most of the points here can be obtained by eliminating enemies standing close to windows. An excellent spot is the last room of the Kobin's mansion mission (screen), because one of the guards can be easily taken out. First level of this challenge can be unlocked by grabbing five opponents, however reaching the highest third level will require to successfully grab 30 hostiles.
Requirements: You must neutralize five enemies in a row while staying hidden.
Description: I would strongly recommend completing this challenge in early missions, because you'll be going against dumber opponents and therefore it'll be easier to outsmart them. Make sure not to make any mistakes while trying to finish this challenge. You can increase your chances of winning by eliminating enemies standing in one spot instead of those patrolling the area. You can also try landing on them or eliminate them with successful headshots. The highest level of this challenge can be obtained by performing three series of killings (15 enemies in total).
Requirements: You must kill an opponent with a headshot and without alarming his colleagues.
Description: This is one of the easiest challenges available in the game. I'm sure that you'll complete it even without reading the requirements, however reaching the highest level may take some time (you must kill 50 opponents). Make sure to always use a silenced pistol and try eliminating enemies standing far away from other hostiles. I also wouldn't recommend attacking hostiles with helmets, because there's a high probability that a single shot to the head won't kill them.
Requirements: You must neutralize at least two enemies at the same time using Mark and Execute action.
Description: This is a very easy challenge, especially since you'll be using Mark and Execute system throughout an entire game. I'm sure that you'll reach the first level during the introductionary mission (Merchant's Street Market), however reaching the highest level will require you to kill a total of 100 enemies.
Requirements: You must kill three opponents with a single frag grenade.
Description: You should be able to advance quickly with this challenge during the Iraq mission, because you'll encounter a lot of groups of enemies along the way (screen). You'll have to be patient, because reaching the highest third level may take some time.
Requirements: You must kill three opponents with a single remote mine.
Description: Remote mines are unlocked during the Washington Monument mission so you should start completing this challenge during the White Box Laboratories mission. I would recommend waiting until later stages, because that's when you'll start encountering larger groups of opponents (screen). It's always good to prepare for battle and plant a mine in a narrow passageway or in a small room. Each time you should wait for a group of three or more opponents to appear close to the mine. Don't forget that they can't be standing too far away, because if the explosion won't kill at least three of them you won't receive any points. Reaching the highest third level of this challenge will require you to get rid of a total of 25 enemy units using remotely triggered mines.
Requirements: You must kill an opponent stunned with a flashbang grenade, an EMP grenade or a portable EMP device.
Description: You shouldn't have any major problems with this assignment and you'll be allowed to continue scoring points as the game progresses. A total of 50 opponents must be stunned and then killed to reach the highest third level. The good thing about this challenge is that you'll be receiving points after using three different types of gadgets, so you'll always have a chance to improve your score. You should also know that you won't have to eliminate stunned opponents in melee combat - you may as well shoot them from a larger distance or blow them up using explosives.
Requirements: You must use a mirror or a camera to mark an opponent and then neutralize him.
Description: You will be allowed to start completing this challenge from the second mission of the singleplayer campaign (Kobin's mansion). All you have to do is to use a mirror or a camera on a door and mark one or more opponents. You should know that after targeting them you won't have to use Mark and Execute system to finish them off, however it's usually the easiest way. The first level is unlocked after killing 10 enemies, however reaching level 3 requires to use this method to get rid of a total of 50 opponents.
Requirements: You must use sonar goggles to mark an opponent and then neutralize him.
Description: You'll be allowed to start completing this challenge after unlocking sonar goggles and this occurs during the Third Echelon HQ mission. The most important you need to know about is that after you've marked one or more opponents with sonar goggles you may take them off and finish him (or them) using standard methods. Mark and Execute is the most effective method, however it's not mandatory to use this system. Reaching level 1 of this challenge will require you to kill 25 marked opponents, however if you intend to reach level 3 you'll have to get rid of 100 of them.
Requirements: You must eliminate an opponent in hand to hand combat, while staying in the shadows and without alarming other enemies.
Description: This is an easy challenge and you'll be allowed to start completing it almost right away. Remember to surprise enemies only when they're standing or moving in the dark. You shouldn't have any problems killing 100 of them needed for level 3 before the end of the singleplayer campaign.
Requirements: You must distract an opponent using the camera and then neutralize him.
Description: You will be allowed to start completing this challenge after unlocking a sticky camera and this occurs during the White Box Laboratories mission (you'll be informed about unlocking cameras after reaching one of the equipment crates). Each time you want to score a point you'll have to attach the camera to a surface (preferably to a wall) by throwing it and then use one of its functions which is to emit sound. Wait until one of the nearby guards gets distracted by the camera and moves closer to it (screen). The easiest way to kill this guard will be to blow up the camera using its own charge and you can also increase the strength and the range of the explosion by purchasing an upgrade. If you don't want to blow up the camera you can also use a pistol, however you can't be seen in the meantime. You'll reach level one after killing 5 enemies with the help of the camera and the highest third level is unlocked after eliminating 15 opponents.
