  Difficulty: Any
  Mission: Countdown
  
  At the beginning of the mission, you'll be dropped off via helicopter on a skyscraper. You will then grapple down the side of the building with Captain Price. You can actually grapple down in two fashions, right site up or upside down. I recommend staying upside down.
  
  You'll be warned of hostages that need to be freed and this is where the achievement will begin. There are just 3 levels of hostages to clear out and you will complete them one by one.
  
  First Level: 2 enemies
  - Upon grappling down to the first level, you'll see the two enemies standing close to one another. I'd recommend getting into position where you can line them and take two quick shots.
  
  Second Level: 4 enemies
  - You'll have two enemies on the far left and two right in front of you. I recommend walking over to the two on the left and quickly taking them out. This should not alert the ones on the right. I would then shoot the one CLOSEST to you first, followed by the guy in the back.
  
  Third Level: 5 enemies
  - This one took me a couple times. You'll see 1 guy on the far left by himself, two on the far right that are standing, and two enemies that walk up the middle . I would recommend taking out the two guys on the far right, and then sweeping to the left with the middle and then far guy on the right. May have to alternate between the middle and the guy on the far left.
  
  Should you have any issues, you can always revert to the previous checkpoint and try again.

  Guide helped! Restarting check points works. Also followed @Ver1d1s guide on the last part!
  Also noticed if you wait long enough, the last three on the left of the last hostage room, will eventually line up perfectly.

  Done at the start of Mission 16: Countdown, land in the helicopter and rappel down the side of the building. We'll need to clear three floors/windows before the hostiles get chance to fire a shot. I recommend reorientating yourself, so you are upright to make things easier.
  
  Window 1: Approach from the far left and quickly kill the two hostiles with two accurate shots. Nothing fancy here.
  
  Window 2: Again, approach from the far left but come into view very low (peeking). Kill the closest enemy to you first, then the one directly behind him and quickly the two to the right before they become alerted.
  
  Windows 3: Same again, come in from the left and low. Line up the first two on the left and kill those with 1 penetration round. Then quickly swing to the three on the right - hopefully if angled correctly you can get another collateral and clean up the straggler.
  
  It checkpoints after each window so if you get spotted just restart from the previous checkpoint and try again.
  
  Check my video below, where I manage to clear the last window with 3 bullets:

  If the enemies start shooting, you can restart checkpoint. The checkpoints are quite generous when going for this as there's a new checkpoint after each floor. You can restart checkpoint as many times you need.
  
  This achievement take's place at the start of the Countdown mission. After arriving at the scene via a helicopter you will start to repel down the building. On the first floor you encounter two enemies that will be in front of you. Take them out with the VEL 46 and make your way to the 2nd floor.
  
  Once at the 2nd floor, takeout the two enemies on the left side of the room in quick succession. Next eliminate the enemy wearing the red jumper in the corridor. Lastly, takeout the enemy on the right side of the room.
  
  Once at the 3rd floor, go to the right side and wait for two enemies to group up together and eliminate them. The last three enemies will be grouped next to each other on the left side of the room. From where you are takeout the last 3 enemies.

  Hope this helped, thanks again.
