How to unlock the Crème de la Crème achievement

    Things to do BEFORE attempting this:

    - Find and unlock every gun workbench (very important, as you're gonna be needing the best kinds of attachments you can get for your guns to make this as easy as possible)
    - Reach level 40 with every Campaign Skill unlocked on your character
    - Unlock the Lee Enfield (best sniper in the game, and good for all ranges and stealth/aggressive scenarios)
    - Special ammo: subsonic and high explosive. Sight: M84. Barrel: extended marksmen. Muzzle: maxin 1910 suppressor. Magazine: small overpressure magazine. Stock: bullet loops. Foregrip: thick grip tape. Receiver: long travel trigger. Construction: laminated beech.
    - SMG and pistol pick whichever you like most, and use extended mags preferably.
    - Items: pick schu-mine and bandages as additional items.

    Things to note:

    - If you do not want to use the Lee Enfield, that is fine, but make sure you do NOT use a sniper that is magazine-fed, but rather bullet-fed. Authentic difficulty has magazine loss enabled (so whenever you reload, you toss away the magazine and therefore losing any bullets that were in that magazine), but with a bullet-fed gun, you load the bullets in one-by-one, so you won't have to worry about wasting ammo.
    - Scope magnification is limited to x6 in Authentic (really stupid, but whatever).
    - Enemies won't stay marked when you mark them.
    - There's no indicator for enemies spotting you.
    - Most of the HUD is disabled, so make sure you're locked in.
    - You CAN manually save, and MAKE SURE YOU DO THAT A LOT.
    - You can spawn in at alternate places if you have unlocked them. Pick the ones you like the most; I often picked the ones closest to the objectives.

    Gameplay strategy:

    There are certain sniping spots (in basically every map) the enemies CANNOT go to, or CAN but most likely won't. These, I will call "safe spots". Safe spots can be accessed by climbing a ladder, climbing ledges or climbing the weird vines. If you can ONLY reach a safe spot by climbing ledges or vines, then the enemies CANNOT reach you (example: in mission 3, in the big Nazi house, you can go all the way upstairs by climbing a window to reach the highest level of that building and snipe through the front balcony). They can, however, climb ladders, so watch out. If you find a good safe spot, deploy mines (teller mines and schu-mines) behind you. Keep the mines a few meters away from each other so they hopefully won't explode each other. Once you've set up your defensives, get ready to snipe ANY German you can possible snipe. Go loud. Do not use Subsonic rounds during this, as you'll WANT them to trigger the alarm and rush towards you. If you trigger them, they'll call their homeboys and rush towards you. Many Germans from different parts of the map will leave their post. Now you can snipe them one-by-one and empty the area's they were guarding (for the most part). Keep in mind that explosive rounds can kill multiple enemies, and you also do not have to be very precise with them. Match rounds are good for long range and minimal bullet drop, and soft points are really nice as well since you won't have to aim for heads anymore; body shots will one-shot. Once you don't see any Germans approaching you anymore, it's time to leave your safe spot and move towards the objective. Equip Subsonic rounds now. You won't have to do any side-quests to get this achievement, so just do the main ones only. Use Subsonic rounds to kill any remaining German as you make your way to the objective. You don't want to get spotted. Remember to save regularly. You're gonna miss a lot of shots and do a lot of weird things, that's normal. Just reload a save and try again.

    That's basically it.

    TheCOMEBACKxKIDIs this not cheeseable like the previous game, making a save on civilian then switching difficulty?

    The closest thing would be to join someone that legitly created authentic saves towards the end?

    Grumpy BakeI'm on right now if anyone can help with knowing this out quickly using their saves? If not, add me to the list please.

    PS in doing so, is it possible to make my own saves and help others out?

    The above mentioned tips are good - safe often,use different starting locations,camp in safe spots.
    Only go for the main objectives.
    I would also add to the list that use the main character, as he has remarks like "I`m sitting ducks here" or "it`s time to go home" if you get spotted.
    Listen to enemy whistle,officers tend to warn the others if they spot you.
    I`ve managed to do 4 missions in under 10 minutes,mostly around 5,with minimal or no sniping at all,if you find it hard the long distance sniping.
    Working on the others but will be hard to push them around 10 minutes or not use sniper rifle.
    Save - Load is your best friend.
