    Start "Arctic Recon" on regular difficulty as this is very hard to do under 3:30 on a harder difficulty.

    Don't waste time picking up a weapon at the beginning as it isn't necessary.

    You will want to have played this before to know where the beacons are placed.

    Run to each beacon location, take cover and use the recon drone first to tag each objective, take out any enemies that are shooting you, don't waste time on killing everybody. Plant the beacon and move onto the next one.

    Save your flash bangs until the run back to the chopper to blind everybody and just run past them.

    Video below for help.

    Hi Guys

    Here is my Video Guide for this Achievement. Its Veteran Difficulty, change to recrut for easier Achievement.

    The Way is the same and the simple Trick is, 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.

    Question? Ask me ;)

    Regards

    How about a good old-fashioned text guide? This is actually very easy if you have any sort of FPS skill. Here's what to do, step by step:

    - Play on Regular difficulty, obviously.
    - Run through the mission once to learn where the beacons are.

    - Call in the Recon Drone immediately after starting, tag the first beacon.
    - Sprint there and take out any guys that are directly in front of you, ignore any that aren't in you immediate path to the beacon. Plant the beacon.
    - Head around the right side of the ship and take out all enemies in your way. Run up to the corner after you've gone up some stairs and call in the Drone, and tag the beacon.
    - Run straight through the little "tunnel" room and kill all the guys hanging around the other side of the ship. Go into the corner and use the Drone again. Plant the beacon.
    - Go back into the "tunnel room," and head up the stairs, still killing anyone that's in your path while ignoring everyone else. - Run up another set of stairs on the left, heading towards the bridge. Call in the Drone as soon as people stop shooting at you, tag and then plant the beacon.
    - Head back the way you came, using the same staircases into the "tunnel room." Before you head down the first staircase after the bridge, toss a flash at the like 10+ guys that are camping there.
    - Head down and keep to the right side of the ship as you retrace your steps. Once you start getting close to the area where you placed the first beacon, you'll see 3-4 guys running towards that area from the opposite side. Flash those guys and keep running.
    - Run down a staircase on the right, close to where those flashed guys were, and then keep running up the next staircase and get on the chopper.

    I finished with a time of 2:40 the second time I tried to speedrun it using this path. On my first attempt, I finished with 3:40 and I forgot to plant TWO beacons and had to run back. In other words, the time limit for this achievement is very generous.
