Complete Achievement Walkthrough

The Practice Makes Perfect Achievement will require the player to hit 33 targets in the practice area during the boss fight against Graves in the Ghost Team mission. To accomplish the Practice Makes Perfect achievement, follow the indicated steps below:

	Steps
1	OPTIONAL: Prior to reaching the practice area, the player can equip an M4 with a thermal scope found in the bunker where the tower falls. This makes it easier to spot targets later on during the boss fight against Graves.
2	Make your way around the practice area using a clockwise motion. Use the green gate as a starting point during this run.
3	Do not run out in the open as the tank will easily spot you. It is also recommended to sprint during this run since the tank is slow and will be unable to adapt if the player is constantly moving.
4	Use damaged vehicles and containers as cover against the tank. Hiding behind wooden objects or even the buildings will be ineffective as these are vulnerable to the tank's arsenal.
5	Do not damage Grave's tank. Doing so will spawn enemy reinforcements in the practice area making it more difficult to shoot the targets.
6	Prioritize taking out the targets near the destroyed vehicles first. These can be found at the edges of the practice area or near the buildings. NOTE: When you have a clear shot on a target from afar, shoot it down but maintain the clockwise motion to clear out the entire area.
7	Also spot the targets found inside and above containers. Most of the containers can be found at the corners of the practice area so make sure that you are clearing out the edges of the map while following the clockwise motion.
8	There will be a hidden target near the northeast direction. The target will be inside a concrete box.
9	There are also small infrastructures apart from the four buildings. These will have targets as well so make sure to clear these out.
10	Start targeting each building based on the clockwise motion. Go back to your starting point (green gate) and start shooting down targets in the first building on the right.
11	Shoot down targets near the exterior of the building. Make sure to go around the building to ensure that you did not miss a target.
12	The interior of the building will also have targets so make sure to go inside after clearing all the targets found in its exterior.
13	There are also targets on the second floor of the building so keep in mind to go up stairs.
14	It is not advisable to shoot down targets in other buildings from the second floor as some areas might be covered. This makes it easy to miss targets and can be confusing once you hit majority of the targets.
15	Proceed with shooting down targets in the next three buildings. Maintain the clockwise motion to know which buildings have already been cleared.

Achievement Tips
Use the Green Gate as a Marker or Starting Position Clear Out All 4 Buildings of Targets Some Targets Will Not Count Do Not Pick Up a C4 as This Will Trigger a Checkpoint Do This Achievement in Recruit Difficulty

Use the Green Gate as a Marker or Starting Position

Upon starting the mission, a green gate can be found behind Soap and Rodolfo. The player can use this as a marker or starting point to come back to after clearing targets found in the open spaces of the practice area.

Clear Out All 4 Buildings of Targets

Building #1

The first building will be in front the green gate, located in the southeast direction.

Building #2

On the left of the building, the second building can be found. This is located in the southwest direction. Take note that there are no targets on the second floor so proceed to the next building after clearing the first floor.

Building #3

The third building can be located in the northwest direction behind the second building.

Building #4

The last building can be found in the northeast direction to the right of the third building. This building is next to the small wooden infrastructure found in the right side of the map.

Some Targets Will Not Count

Not all targets in the practice area are part of the Practice Makes Perfect achievement and can be distinguished by the outlook of the shooting target. These can easily be recognized as the actual targets will fall down when penetrated by a bullet.

Actual Targets	False Targets

Do Not Pick Up a C4 as This Will Trigger a Checkpoint

The C4 is the primary equipment used to defeat Graves in this objective. However, when accomplishing the Practice Makes Perfect achievement, avoid picking these up and damaging the tank as it will trigger a checkpoint. This makes it more difficult to shoot down targets as hostiles will start spawning.

NOTE: If you die during your first attempt, there is a possibility that enemy reinforcements will show up even though you had not damaged the tank. If this happens, prioritize eliminating the hostiles first before proceeding with the achievement.

Do This Achievement in Recruit Difficulty

If you are looking to accomplish this achievement with ease, it would be best to choose the Recruit difficulty. The player will be constantly hunted by the tank and playing in harder difficulties will cause the player to die often.
