    Take care of this one early on. I did it on Act 1 Chapter 3. The mission is to rescue 2 Gears and get to the extraction point. Make sure to set your weapons to snub pistols as your weapon at the beginning and each time you rescue a Gear. I did not use anything except the snub pistols, no executions or grenades. As soon as you get back to the extraction (where you started the level), the level ends so you do not have to clear out all of the locust.

    TheCrazymasonI just wanted to add that this achievement did not unlock for me if I let the enemy bleed out after being downed, but unlocked when I started finishing them off with the pistol, overwatch didn't void the achievement.

    Thank you so much. Unlocked on the first try after I started shooting the downed enemies.

    I discovered (accidentally, when I started the game on Insane) that you can do this on the tutorial mission when you start a new game. In the very last checkpoint of the tutorial mission (when the E-hole is introduced), have both of your characters run as far head as possible. When the grubs emerge from the E-hole, have the character that's slightly behind shoot one grub with the pistol (and disable Overwatch for the character that's ahead if needed). Simply have the character that's ahead move toward the bottom of the ramp and the mission will complete and the Achievement will pop. No need to kill anyone. wink

    Third part of the mission with the e-hole, shot my Pistol ONE TIME with Gabe and just ran to the bottom of the ramp with Sid. Popped after a few seconds.

    Easiest done in a later game scavenger run with a single scout unit which will also net you the achievement for completing a mission with a single soldier (if you are playing on insane difficulty) By Act 3 chapter 5 you will have access to level 6 scouts, which gives you 10 skill tree points. While running through collecting the minimum number of crates, shoot an enemy one time dealing damage with the snub pistol, and complete the mission.

    Spec out a level 6 scout's skill tree to the right side up and down the spine like so:

    Sprint lv1/2
    Stalker
    Free cloak
    Anticipation lv1/2
    Nimble
    Proximity mine lv1/2
    Extended cloak

    Use any weapon mods and armor that give cooldowns to skills, chances at extra AP, or increased movement range. If you have Gnasher attachments such as a grip with passive skill expertise, a short barrel with +1 movement range, armor with the passive skill blitz, and ranger treads which increase movement range, there will be very little to no RnG for this. The scavenger run in Act 3 chapter 5 can be completed in 3 turns while I still managed to miss a 90% change pistol shot from close range. Collect the first 3 cases ignoring the left side of the map. Grab the third case, shoot the pistol shot at a nearby enemy then use cloak. Y-ou will easily be able to make it to the extraction point from here in one or two turns.

    dingleingusDid exactly this tonight but achievement didn’t pop. Jacked mode so maybe that is why, dunno. Bummer.

    SmokeNashtyJacked mode works. That’s how I got it. Apparently you can only use cloak on jack no other abilities
