    It is best that you use the recon drone to clear out as many enemies in the area as possible before you start marking the target. To mark the targets, you must look at that area you need to mark first, hold down 'X', then from there you can turn an shoot anyone around your recon drone. If you drone takes too much damage, it will be destroyed. A new drone will be provided, but it will start back at the beginning and you will have to fly it towards you.

    Make sure you keep moving forward when you have an area cleared out. It seems that there is an unlimited supply of enemies until you make a push.

    Make good use of your flashbangs. I would recommend having at least 2 left after you place the beacon on the bridge. You will want to flash the guys that are on the double set of stairs that lead up to where the helicopter dropped in some men. The last flash you have should be used when you are on the ships deck near the first beacon. You will want to throw it into the group that is running towards you. This should give you enough of a distraction to run past them.

    You can earn the dr0n3d achievement as well on Veteran difficulty, but it is very frustrating. Once I completed this the first time, I ran a time of 3:50. I will have a video up here shortly as well.

    On a side note, If the recon drone is destroyed you dont get a new one you fail the mission and have to start over if you are playing co-op for this mission. Thank you to OneManMafia86 for this info.

    Hi Guys

    Here is my Video Guide for this Achievement. The Mission is not hard but harder as the last 2 DLC Mission

    The Key to suchess is simple, when you fly with the drone, you are "invulnerable". The Enemies switch to the Drone and you stay savely one Meter away from the Enemies :)

    See the Video do understand what i mean. Save your flash bangs until the last Signal for a easier way back to the Chopper.

    WIth this Tactic i beat the Mission Solo in 3:03,6 and earn all Achievement in One Run.

    Question? Ask me ;)

    Regards

    SamHardy xXI think it does, but they might have brought out a patch or update out now though :/

    Irondan316I just did this yesterday on co-op & this still works. In fact, all DLC missions will work with this method.

    I found the easyiest way to get this achievement is but using the recon drone as much as you can and you will fly by and get this done in just over 5mins once you have cleared all the enemies out then you plant each radio on reach section then same for the next stage then when you get to the end you wont be able to use the drone again so use cover and kill enemies then advance forward the keep doing this till you reach the end. Hope this may of help so of you out :)
