The Training Course will start up upon loading the solo mode for the first time. Simply follow the instructions given until you complete the mission. The trophy will pop shortly afterwards.

Direct Actions are sort of an objectives, assault sort of thing. Get in, get the objective done and get out. The only way to fail these missions is to die. Simply complete any and the trophy is yours. They can be distinguished by the 3 arrow symbol.

Covert Operations are basically your stealth missions. Completing the objective with the idea of not getting caught. If you get caught it will trigger an alert and the mission will end in failure. Simply complete any of them and the trophy is yours. They can be distinguished by the 2 overlapping thunderbolt symbol.

Deadline Operations are time trials pretty much. You're on a timer so make sure to be fast and diligent. If you run out of time the mission will end. Complete any one of them for the trophy. They can be distinguished by the stop clock symbol.

Think of Elite Operations as your Hardcore missions. Limited health, no health regeneration, no checkpoints, etc. Your basic Hard mode for any game. Take your time, don't rush or get into close range firefights and you should be fine.

Simply complete any Elite Operation for the trophy, they can be distinguished by the 2 downwards arrows.

Head over to the Co-op section of the game and either create or join any match regardless of level. After completing the mission, regardless of score, the trophy will pop.

If you're struggling with randoms or just need a partner, then check out the Co-op partners Thread.

First off, you need a friend that has a registered score on the leaderboard. After that you must get a better score than them on any given mission. So for example, they have a score of 80,000 on mission 1. You must go in and get 80,001+ after their score has been posted. If it hasn't, wait a bit as the servers sometimes take a while to update.

Some tips for getting high scores:

• Aim high! Always aim for headshots as you get more points.
• Streaks. Try getting high streaks. Quick kills, consistent headshots. Putting these together can give a lot of bonuses.
• Stealth. Being stealthy can give A LOT of bonus points when completing objectives.
• If you can do a mission with non-lethal tactics you will get a huge bonus. Try knifing or not killing at all.

If you need a partner, refer to the thread above for help.

Every 24 hours a new mission will be available through the Daily Challenge section. There is no limitation to the difficulty of the mission and it is randomly selected. Head in and complete one at any time to earn the trophy. If you're struggling on the current daily challenge try waiting for the next one and see if it's more towards your liking.

Dynamic missions are the same as the Solo missions only with the factor of the objectives now being randomized. To activate the Dynamic option, simply click any given mission and press the second tab underneath the "Ranked" tab at the mission briefing page. Complete 13 different missions and the trophy is yours. Dynamic missions are no different than the original. The only thing is that they're randomized so pick 13 missions that you're comfortable with if you'd like to make things easier.

There are a few ways to maximize your EXP income.

-Aim for headshots.
-Complete objectives stealthily.
-Aim for high streaks.
-Be quick and diligent. Your overall performance does add to your count.
-If possible, kill quickly to get the multi-kill bonus.

Optionally, you may want to play online. If you can get a good gaming going you can get nearly double the EXP you would offline.

An easy mission for this is Mission 2: Reticent Hawk [online].

At the start of the mission just sit tight for a few moments. There will be a guy at the top of the stairs. Wait until he turns around than head up and knife him without alerting him. After that's done grab the Intel and head back down. Go the other way this time and deactivate the trip-sensor right at the end of the path. Now you will see a courtyard with 3 guys. Wait until all 3 are at the other end and walk, this is very important. Do not run as that will trigger their attention. Once again, walk to the Intel and pick it up. Now get to the end and get your points. You can average in roughly 200,000-220,000 EXP a match.

Each character class has specific bonuses based on there speciality so keep that in mind.Once again, it's all about your performance throughout the mission. You can also try playing co-op as it's said to give more experience.

During a lot of the missions you will notice mines scattered along the floor, or on the walls. All you have to do is wait until an enemy walks near one and shoot it for your trophy. There are literally countless missions where this is possible so take your pick. You really can't go wrong.

Many times you will encounter 2 enemies close together. First, to make your life much, much easier throw in a smoke or a flash to disorient them. Now if both enemies are together get up close and make sure your melee connects with both of them.

Alternatively you can attempt this at the secret dance floor location (See "Life of the Party" for more info). Once there wait until 2 guys dance close together and just let them have it. It's as easy as that.

An easy place to get this is during the first HVT mission for PHOENIX. Soon after starting the mission you'll come to an open room with a set of shelves. Go to the second shelf to find a trip mine. After disabling it look to your left to find 2 guys talking. Try your best to line up the shot for a collateral headshot and the trophy.

Alternatively, you can attempt this at the secret dance floor location (See "Life of the Party" for more info). Once there wait until 2 guys dance close together and just let them have it. It's as easy as that.

There are many, many places to achieve this. You can even use a smoke or flash grenade to make things go easier.

Here is an excellent tactic by Osakamitsu:

Mission 5, run to the right at the start and shoot the guy, turn left and run forward a little and shoot the guy in the purple hood. This should get everyone in the building to the right running around. Throw some C4 on the doorway, hide by the wall and wait for them to bunch up at the doorway then let them have it. I hope it helps.

Another location is the secret dance floor in mission 10. After entering the secret location you will eventually come to the floor and a few enemies will be there dancing. They will not stop to attack you unless you attack them. Simply throw a grenade in and you're done.

Another location is mission 31. As soon as you start the mission move forward until you come across a support beam. Use this beam for cover and look to your right to see 3 enemies chatting. Toss in a grenade for an easy triple kill.

This trophy isn't as hard as it seems so long as you just take your time. Use lots of cover and blind-fire to make it that much easier. If you have a lot of patience you can wait until the enemies clip runs out and pick them off than. Just take your time and you're good to go.

I think the easiest mission to get this in is the first one on Solo. Simply take your time going through the mission and try to aim for silent, one-shot kills. There are plenty of enemies to get this.

If you're struggling you could try this online. Take your time going through and if an enemy spots you take cover. Now have your partner be a distraction of sorts to draw their fire as you pick them off.

The easiest way I found for this is mission 1. Just go through the mission aiming for clean headshots. You should earn the trophy half-way through the mission when entering a hanger of sorts (that's where I earned it).

Simply kill 169 enemies across all game modes. This will come extremely early, I didn't even expect it when I earned it.

The highest multiplier is a 5x. The easiest way to achieve this is to go for a mission with lots of enemies. You want to aim for headshots, high streaks and avoid damage as much as possible.

An easy location I found is in Elite Operation #6: Swift Hydra.

After starting the mission switch to your pistol right away so you have better accuracy. If you want you can pick up an enemy MG later. Now, always make sure to take cover and wait until it's safe to fire. Getting hit will reduce the multiplier greatly. Always aim for the headshot, it takes about 3-5 headshots to fill up a multiplier bar. After about 15-20 consecutive headshots, along with any other bonuses you may earn you should hit a 5x multiplier.

Simply receive a 5-star rating in 13 different missions.

Your score highly depends on the type of level. If it's a Covert one then be extremely stealthy. If it's a Deadline, be quick etc. Also go for bonuses relative to your character.

The same rules as before apply as well.

• Aim high: Always aim for headshots as you get more points.
• Streaks: Try getting high streaks. Quick kills, consistent headshots. Putting these together can give a lot of bonuses.
• Stealth: Being stealthy can give A LOT of bonus points when completing objectives.
• If you can do a mission with non-lethal tactics you will get a huge bonus. Try knifing or not killing at all.

This is earned in chapter 10.

At the start of the mission you will clear the hotel plaza of enemies and make a left into a storage room with 3 enemies. Kill them and head to back-left of the room to find a wooden bust. Pick it up. Now, after planting all the charges later in the mission, head through the door until you hit the checkpoint timer. Instead of going up the stairs head to the right to find a dead end. Place the bust on the centre wall to open the hidden door and head in. Go all the way down to the dance floor and walk up to the middle to receive an on-screen prompt to dance. Hit it and watch your character do the whole dance to earn the trophy.

Special thanks to Joeltron3030 for discovering the steps to open the Dance floor.

This is earned in the final HVT mission against Scorpion.

At the start of the mission exit the building and follow the arrow. You will pass through a long hallway and exit into a bazaar of sorts. To your left will be a fruit stand. From here make a left into another building, make another left and than one more immediate left into a room with an orange glow. You should see a table with a dinner of sorts set up to your right. Walk over and interact with it to earn the trophy.

There is no real way to explain this or give tips. It's all dependent on your play style. To unlock HVT's you either need to get 180 stars or have someone that has done it to upload the missions using NEAR. Below is a list of personal 5 star scores to get a general idea of what you need:

1: 95,182 (I'm sure you could go lower)
2: 68,418
3: 95,878
4: 104,757
5: 87,195
6: 130,967
7: 79,227
8: 125,393 (I'm sure you could go lower than this.)
9: 97,957
10: 111,196 (I'm sure you could go lower)
11: 105,372
12: 99,498
13: 87,465
14: 124,856
15: 85,950
16: 101,109
17: 95,857
18: 86,804
19: 78,143
20: 104,694
21: 102,150
22: 87,853
23: 155,348 (I'm sure you could go lower)
24: 100,792
25: 79,110
26: 105,856
27: 232,292 (I'm sure you could go much lower)
28: 92,791
29: 99,428
30: 130,623
31: 111,886
32: 89,650
33: 105,111
34: 152,195
35: 120,700 (I'm sure you could go lower)
36: 131,522 (I'm sure you could go lower)

The recommended characters are the Gunner and the Marksman. The Gunner is recommended for certain missions where enemies will constantly and endlessly spawn (Scorpion is one as there are a few guys running down a hallway with Machine Guns). The Marksman is easily used for stealth and sometimes you can get an easy shot off the HVT right from the start.

Another good thing is to utilize smoke grenades and satchel charges. The smokes can easily throw an enemies view off from you giving you time to get to cover or get the flank. The satchel charges can make some HVT's a joke. They like to take a lot of cover in close-quarter rooms. Throw in a few satchel charges to set up a trap and shoot a few bullets to get the target to move to new cover. Pull the trigger and it's over.

After eliminating all 9, the trophy will pop.

Very big and special thanks to Sherufanir for some of the information posted!
