Surgical Strike

How do you unlock this achievement?
I did many raid missions without killing enemy units except turrets.
Achievement still locked. :(

Thank you.

pick a fast mech, run past everything instead of shooting them, be careful not to trample turrets or tanks.

Complete a Raid mission with zero enemy units killed, in a campaign or career.

I think that's pretty self-explanatory.

What's really bad about this achievement is I'm pretty sure that if a enemy unit suicides (such as a VTOL slamming into a building or cliff) even though YOU don't kill them, YOUR still punished for the achievement not triggering.

not sure if that's true. I think it's based on your end of mission statistics (and will continue believing that until proven otherwise) which means since you didn't shoot the VTOL and thus no pilot was credited with the kill it shouldn't count as far as I'm aware. feel free to test it if you want though.

I've had times where 0 kills would be on the end screen yet the achievement wouldn't pop and remember that said achievement RESETS when you start a new campaign/career.

fair enough. assuming the game wasn't just bugging out that would seem to suggest you want to avoid environments it's easy for a VTOL to crash in.
