Requirements: You must neutralize at least four enemies at the same time using Mark and Execute action.

Description: I would recommend waiting with this challenge until the White Box Laboratories mission, because this is when you'll gain possession of the best pistol available in the game - a Five-Seven model. Make sure to upgrade this weapon and to purchase a component named Reflex Sight (screen). Doing this will allow you to mark four opponents from now on and this means you'll have your chance of completing the challenge after encountering a group of at least four hostiles.

Requirements: You must complete a mission without any restarts and while staying hidden all the time.

Description: There are two ways of completing this challenge. An easier way would be to choose a multiplayer mission and to complete it by relying on what the other player is doing. You would have to avoid taking part in any fights and remain out of sight. If you want to complete this challenge in singleplayer mode then your only choice is the Washington Monument mission. I would also recommend choosing the lowest Rookie difficulty setting so that enemies will be easier to avoid and they won't notice you even from a smaller distance. Don't forget that you're not allowed to reload any of the checkpoints so that if you're noticed you'll have to return to the main menu and start the mission again. Check the main part of the guide for a complete walkthrough of this level.

Requirements: You must complete a mission without any restarts and without using any guns.

Description: There are two ways of completing this challenge. An easier way would be to choose a multiplayer mission and to complete it by relying on what the other player is doing. You would have to avoid taking part in any fights and remain out of sight. If you want to complete this challenge in singleplayer mode then your only choice is the Washington Monument mission. I would also recommend choosing the lowest Rookie difficulty setting so that enemies will be easier to avoid or to eliminate in hand to hand combat (it's allowed, but risky). Don't forget that you're not allowed to reload any of the checkpoints so that if you're killed you'll have to return to the main menu and start the mission again.

Requirements: You must neutralize ten 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. Thankfully in this case you won't have to complete several series of battles.

Requirements: You must kill fifteen opponents using a single assault rifle clip.

Description: There are two ways of completing this challenge. If you want to finish it as soon as possible you'll have to choose an assault rifle with a large clip (and preferably with a clip upgrade). You would have to be very cautious to preserve your ammunition while taking out enemy units and naturally you would also have to be very precise. If you don't mind waiting you'll have an excellent opportunity at the end of the Third Echelon HQ mission. Notice that during your evacuation from the building you'll be allowed to use Mark and Execute system freely. This means your attacks will be precise and you won't have to fire more than one bullet to kill an enemy. Assuming you won't make any mistakes (and remember NOT to reload your gun) you'll finish this challenge long before getting to the elevator shaft (screen).

Requirements: You must kill ten opponents using a single pistol clip.

Description: There are two ways of completing this challenge. If you want to finish it in the singleplayer campaign you should wait until you've been given better pistols and until you've upgraded them so that they can hold more bullets. Doing this will allow you to make mistakes while killing enemy units. If you don't want to wait you should choose Deniable Ops mode and make an attempt on the lowest difficulty setting.

Requirements: You must grab an opponent and push him so that he destroys a wooden door.

Description: This is a very easy challenge, however you should remember that the trick will work only with wooden doors. I would recommend making an attempt during one of the early missions (Kobin's mansion is a great choice). Surprise one of your enemies from the back and instead of killing him hold the action key to grab him. He'll become a human shield and you'll have to move with him towards a wooden door (screen). Push him in that direction and you'll win the challenge when he destroys the door.

Requirements: You must grab an opponent and force him to collide with one of his colleagues.

Description: It may be tougher to succeed here, however you should also consider choosing one of earlier missions (Kobin's mansion will do just fine). Plan your action by finding two opponents. They should both be standing in darker areas. Surprise one of them from the back and instead of killing him hold the action key to grab him. He'll become a human shield and you'll have to move with him towards his colleague. Push him towards the second opponent so that they will collide and lose consciousness (screen). Naturally it's important that you're not seen by the other guard before you're close enough to make the push, because otherwise he would kill your human shield.

Requirements: You must grab an opponent standing close to a window or next to a balustrade and make sure that he falls at least ten metres.

Description: An ideal spot to complete this challenge is one of the rooms of the White Box Laboratories mission. You'll get there soon after rescuing a scientist, using an elevator and finding an equipment crate. Approach the room with several armed guards using outer ledges and grab one of the mercenaries (screen). This is when you should receive the reward. If you don't want to return to this mission you should make other attempts in Deniable Ops missions.

Requirements: You must neutralize at least three enemies at the same time using a trap or a grenade.

Description: Completing this challenge is possible in the very early stages of the game. To be more specific, you'll have several chances during the Kobin's Mansion mission. Get to one of the areas with a chandelier and drop it on a group of opponents (screen). Naturally you should wait until at least three of them are standing under the chandelier. If you skip these opportunities you may also try later. If you prefer to use explosives you should consider planting a remote mine (they're unlocked during the Washington Monument mission), however you would heave to make sure that the explosion takes out at least three mercenaries instead of only injuring them.

Requirements: You must destroy a security camera and then neutralize an opponent who came to check it.

Description: This is a very easy challenge, however you'll have to wait with completing it until you're playing a mission with security cameras in the area. I would recommend finishing it during the second part of the Third Echelon HQ mission (screen). Don't do this in the beginning of this mission, because an alarm would force you to retry.

Requirements: You must kill an opponent while he investigates a car alarm.

Description: I think it's fairly obvious to say that you'll be allowed to complete this challenge only in areas with civilian vehicles parked nearby. An excellent spot is the beginning of Kobin's Mansion mission. You can trigger a car alarm in one of the vehicles parked in front of the old museum (by hitting them). Wait for a guard to show up and kill him with a successful headshot (screen). Naturally this will probably force you to return to the last checkpoint, but I think it was worth it. :-)

Requirements: You must grab an opponent, mark three other enemies and then eliminate them using Mark and Execute action.

Description: This is a rather tough assignment and you shouldn't make any attempts in the early stages of the game. The main reason is that you'll have to wait until you have a pistol capable of killing three targets based on Mark and Execute system. I would also recommend until you've acquired sonar goggles, because it'll be much easier to mark targets using this gadget. As for the challenge itself, you'll have to start off by surprising and grabbing one of the enemies. Don't forget to hold the action key so that he will become a human shield. Mark the targets from a distance or from behind a wall (sonar goggles) before moving closer and finishing the job (screen). Thankfully you will have to perform all of these actions only once.

Requirements: You must stun at least three enemies at the same time and then eliminate them.

Description: This is a very easy challenge and you'll have to complete it only once. Find a group of opponents, preferably stationed in a small room. Start off by throwing a flashbang grenade or an EMP grenade into that room. Once they're stunned you can either throw a frag grenade or use Mark and Execute system to get rid of them. Just make sure to neutralize them before they return to full strength and you'll be fine.

Requirements: You must break down a door when an opponent is standing on the other side.

Description: One of the best moments to complete this challenge is the final part of the second mission (Kobin's Mansion). Stand in front of the main door leading to the room where Kobin is hiding and wait for one of his guards to show up (screen) which should occur after a longer conversation. Break down the door to get rid of the guards. If you miss this opportunity you can also try later. Make sure to always slide a mirror or a camera under the door so that you'll be certain of your success.

Requirements: You must throw an opponent through a closed window.

Description: You'll have plenty of opportunities to complete this challenge during the second mission of the game (Kobin's Mansion). Surprise one of your enemies from the back and make sure to keep holding the action key so that you grab him instead of killing him. Once you have a human shield approach one of the closed windows and push the enemy in that direction (screen). You should know that it will work only if you're moving towards the window. You can't be standing in one spot, because Fisher will execute the human shield instead of pushing the guard.

Requirements: You must use three different objects from the environment during an interrogation.

Description: This simple challenge can be completed at the end of the introductionary mission (Merchant's Street Market) or during other interrogations (including Kobin's interrogation in the second mission). The only requirement is that an interrogation must consist of at least three phases. If you've chosen the first mission you'll have to approach three different objects while holding Gramkos (screen) - you can find out more from the walkthrough.

MULTIPLAYER MODES ONLY!

Requirements: You must eliminate at least five enemies in the cooperation mode after being heavily injured.

Description: This is probably the most difficult challenge available in the game. You'll have to choose cooperation mode (the first mission will do just fine). Make sure to choose the lowest Rookie difficulty setting. Find a good spot from where you'll be allowed to take out enemy forces. Attack one of the guards. Wait for him to return fire and to knock out your agent so that he will end up on the floor. Prevent the other player from rescuing you, press a corresponding key to sit up and start eliminating nearby guards. Since you're playing on a Rookie setting you should be able to kill at least five of them before they finish you off or before your health bar reaches zero.

Requirements: You must escape enemy units after being seen and remain undetected for the next 10 minutes.

Description: Despite what you might think this is a very easy assignment, because you won't have to do anything in the meantime. Escape after you were seen, find a good hiding place in the shadows (where no one will look) and leave the computer for the next 10 minutes. The challenge will be completed upon your return. :-)
