    Alternative Method for the Flipyap Achievement:

    Setup: Start the Sierra 117 checkpoint Charlie on Normal difficulty with only the IWHBYD skull enabled in single player.

    Progress: Quickly navigate through the level (aim for under 2 minutes) until you reach the "Quid Pro Quo" cutscene. Once the cutscene ends, follow the steps outlined in the video:

    Throw a grenade at the Jackal on top of the building below.
    Jump down into the building.
    Eliminate only the first and second gold Grunts; the second one should be Flipyap.
    Outcome: After killing Flipyap, a Grunt will comment on the death of his brother, triggering the achievement. If the achievement doesn't pop, restart the last checkpoint and ensure you follow the video instructions carefully. Don’t worry if the Jackal's position differs from the video; the grenade's purpose is to draw the Grunts towards the building’s door.

    Troubleshooting: On a second account, I found it took around 10 reloads to successfully get the achievement. It seems that Flipyap’s brother needs to see his corpse while you are nearby. To improve your chances:

    Enter the room below the cliff, and kill the two Grunts inside.
    Hide in the far right corner of the cliff top overlooking the room.
    Lure the remaining Grunts in, and eliminate them one by one, ensuring they see the dead Grunts in the room. It’s possible Flipyap or his brother could be among these Grunts.
    Additional Info: I’ve uploaded a video of this method (second video). Please check it out and let me know if this approach is more effective than the original. I’ll update the guide based on your feedback.

    Feel free to suggest improvements to this guide.

    This is a method I came up with. The map is crow's nest on charlie point. Difficulty is set to easy. Skulls I use are mythic, thunderstorm, tilt, acrophobia and IWHBYD.

    Difficulty is on easy because they don't throw nades.
    The reason I use the mythic, thunderstorm and tilt skulls is because they shoot each other while I'm trying to set up the checkpoint. I use the acrophobia skull for a faster setup. (acrophobia skull is not required)

    JeppeBoy95I got it after about 10-15 reloads using this method after nothing else worked. The Flipyap dialogue is like 10 seconds long, so when you hear "You killed Flipyap!", quit shooting and listen for a bit

    Just turn on IWHBYD skull while playing through the game and this will unlock sooner or later on any difficulty. You may not even hear the grunt talking when it unlocks. The video below is just so you can hear the flipyap dialogue. Ignore the commentary. I thought it had to be done on legendary.

    Edit: Some folks are getting the dialogue and achievement WITHOUT IWHBYD turned on, while others have been struggling both with and without it on, so it appears this may be just very luck-based and not really able to be triggered intentionally. Personally I've always had an easy time getting it to trigger and I always have IWHBYD on, but reports differ on reliability.

    Edit: Many people have reported success with Checkpoint Charlie on Sierra 117. Killing a single grunt at a time and pausing a few seconds after each kill, reloading checkpoint if no luck before the last couple to avoid progressing mission. See TPB Maestro's comments below.

    This needs to be the top solution. Thank you.

    Dert444I got it! I tried it about 20 times. It worked after killing the sniper and the brute. I saved all the infantry, waited for them to surround me, and then killed one of them. After that, the phrase became audible.
