On Hunter mode in the 1st Zone of the San Francisco map there are several shipping containers with open doors. The object is to neutralize 12 enemies while they are inside the containers. Basically you have to take each enemy as a human shield and walk them in to the container and snap their necks or slam their heads against the wall of the containers.

[EDITED for Ninja Scroll: Or lure them in there to do it. The basic idea is that the guards are neutralized while inside the boxes which is what I said in my 2nd sentence above that has NOT been edited. I figured it was implied that regardless of how you get them in there the object is that they are neutralized while inside the containers not outside of them.]

Since there is danger of being exposed while walking a guard into a box it's best to shoot out nearby lights that can be shot out and obviously the cameras as well.

Climbing up on the containers and maneuvering around the guards to flank them is the best strategy I found.

Don't worry if you are detected and reinforcements are called in you can still get the achievement as long as you neutralize 12 guards in boxes and they don't have to be the first 12 either... I accidentally did a death from above on one of them outside the box before I got detected and then was detected. Prior to this attempt I was restarting after detections, but I thought I'd see if the achievement would still pop even if you're detected, and it did.

This achievement requires the "Insurgency" DLC pack.

You can get this achievement either by yourself or in co-op with a buddy. Difficulty does not matter, so might as well make it easy and go on rookie.

If you're doing it by yourself, go into Deniable Ops and pick the "San Francisco, CA" map on Hunter.

The idea is that there are shipping containers around the map, you have to kill 12 enemies while both you and they are in the container. I found the easiest way was to hide in a container and when a guy wandered near shoot at the wall inside the container. He'll come charging in, then just melee him dead. Repeat 11 more times. Also, it does not matter if you are detected (in fact, if it did this achievement would be near impossible). On my successful run, I was detected after killing the first guy.

If doing it in co-op, follow the Achievement Hunter video below.

The "Insurgency" DLC pack is the only DLC pack with achievements for Splinter Cell Conviction. This pack will be required in order to earn this achievement.

As it can be relatively difficult to find a co-op partner online at various times of the day, I recommend playing on rookie by yourself. If you manage to neutralize an opponent outside of a cargo container, there is no need to start over. Simply alert your enemies and more opponents will be brought in to aid you in unlocking this achievement.

Perhaps the most effective way of unlocking this achievement is grabbing an opponent from behind, walking him into a cargo container, and then killing him.

As it can be difficult to lure a single enemy into a small cargo container, I recommend this method over making noise in the container and killing with hand to hand combat.

The enemies themselves need to be in a container not just yourself. Difficulty doesn't matter so play on the easiest setting. Grabbing the enemies as human shields and walking them over to a container is probably the best method. You can also use sticky cameras to lure them in. You can get this achievement in solo but it is easier in Co-Op because both players kills count towards each one's individual achievement. Here is a video guide I made towards earning this achievement:

This was much easier than I expected. As soon you start the level immediately turn left towards the camera. If you are facing the camera notice there is a stack of containers directly infront of you. (A guy normally patrols on top of them.)

Notice there is a container on the second row with a door open. Your aim is to alert the guards and head into that container. Once inside stick on your goggles and melee anyone who enters. 12 kills later and achievement is yours.

Do not worry about any grenades they throw at you because they will not harm you as they are outside of the container which acts like a blast shield.

Job done.
