    Angel of Death

    "Kill an alien while flying. Single player only."

    This achievement requires you to have the Archangel Armor equipped on one of your squad (recommend using the Sniper). During a battle, use the armor to fly your squadmate into the air (right-trigger, then d-pad over to select the angel wings, then up on d-pad to rise), then snipe any alien with that squadmate.

    Achievement will unlock as soon as you make your first kill, while flying.

    RougeRogue1I don't believe it actually matters HOW you kill them -- so long as you're flying; Sniper just seemed the best choice for that, but use whomever you wish. :)

    X5ox ScaraI think, i make something wrong or do not understand Your solution.
    First, using the Wings AND Snipe an Enemy in one Move is not possible. So if i have to Snipe maybe i need some kind of Upgrade or something?
    I tried it in 2 Rounds with Snipe and i tried it in one Round, killing with a Pistol. Both did not work.
    Could someone Help pls.
    Thx

    RougeRogue1Sorry for confusion, you need not fly up AND shoot in one round... fly your soldier up in one round, have that soldier make the killing shot on any subsequent round (while that soldier is still in the air), and the achievement should unlock.

    Additionally, the soldier you choose doesn't have to be a sniper, I just chose a sniper, as the likelihood of getting the killing shot is fairly high with a sniper. Hope that clears things up! :)

    Hirsute DaveYou don't actually even need to move - simply switching flight mode on so they jump into the air is enough.
