  • How to unlock Shoot from the Hip

    As mentioned in the solution for "Going the Distance", this requirement will be quite the burden since the landscapes you engage the enemy within are large and open outdoor areas. Thus, it will most likely be by reflex and/or habit that you use Smart-Link (Scopes) to kill enemies that are far away. You will need to be attentive that you do not scope in with any weapon during the entirety of the mission! If you're playing Co-Op, that goes for all the players!

    Luckily, this achievement can be easily paired with "Going the Distance" for two reasons. The former is recommended to be done on a lower difficulty, thus enemies will be easier to kill with just about any weapon even when firing from the hip. Secondly, by skipping all of the unnecessary firefights throughout the mission, it reduces the forced nature of accidentally scoping in with a weapon to kill an enemy. The achievement will unlock at mission’s end provided you (or any players if playing Co-Op) did not scope in a single time with any weapons.

  • Easy going, team player with over 88,500 gamerscore. Add me for co-op and achievements. GT: your7sins
  • I think "smart-link" is just the name for the new aim down sights that they've implemented into H5. So I'd imagine, going by the achievement name too, just a matter of finishing the level with hip fire only and no ADS. No difficulty requirement either so could maybe just be done on easy? Only other part I'm wondering is it saying "without any players" is if it HAS to be done in co-op or you can do it solo and just not ADS?
  • Confirmed it can be done on solo

  • Near the end of the level I accidentally tapped LT for a split second while throwing a grenade - the reticle didn't even come up - and it voided the achievement. *£$%^. The second time I tried I pulled LT in a vehicle and that didn't void it. The good news is that both this achievement and the one where you don't enter a vehicle can be done on Easy - so you can sprint through most of the level, punching stuff and bypassing fights. An easy couple of achievements as long as you remember not to zoom in.
  • Just don't zoom in!
  • If you accidentally hit 'LT' on your play through, you can revert to the last ceckpoint and it will not good the achievement.
