Hi all,
While playing Wolfpack, you'll notice additional bonuses in the left upper corner. Every time you clear one of these, you will gain some additional points which are crucial to reach other sequences. Below, I will list some of these bonuses.
Additional bonuses:- LOCKED TARGET: Easy to do, press
to lock a target and kill it.
- GROUND FINISH: If one of your co-op partners killed a target, look on the ground for its body and press
to kick or shoot him in the head (not available while playing solo).
- AERIAL: Get on a rooftop, lock your target and press
from up the roof to kill him. This is different from an acrobatic kill!
- ACROBATIC: Hang on a ledge or crouch on an obstacle (a fence from example) and press
while on it to kill your locked target. This is different from an aerial kill!
- SYNC KILL: To get this bonus, you will have to lock on to a target and move closer. Once the top of the screen has a countdown with 'press
' on it, you will have to press
for the Sync Kill to be succeeded. Other then a nice point bonus, you also get a nice time bonus as well.
- ASSIST: Lock on a target and let your co-op partner kill him (not available while playing solo).
- AMBUSH: Kill a target after being in his line of sight for less then 2 seconds. You will recognise these targets because they have a question mark above their heads and mostly have a dobbelganger near them.
- DIVERSION: Let your friend chase (or let your friend be discovered by) a target and you will need to kill it (not available while playing solo).
- SILENT: Find a target and follow it by pressing and holding
(never touch
). If the meter on the righthand side is almost full, kill your target.
- INCOGNITO: Find a target and follow it by pressing and holding
(never touch
). If the meter on the righthand side is completely full, kill your target.
- FOCUS: Go near a target and once the circle around the
-button is complete, kill your target. Additionally, the x-button prompt will be flashing.
- HIDDEN: Blend into a group or get into a haystack to get hidden. Kill your target 1 second later to get this bonus.
- MULTI KILL: Kill your targets within a 2 second range to get this bonus. This can be obtained in solo starting from sequence 10 (this is random).
Other useful hints:- Kill the extra target (with a clock) when he appears. More time means more kills.
- Watch out for the later sequences were targets use diversions and/or smokebombs.
- It's probably better to approach your targets with stealth. If you need a hidden kill, you can easily combine it with the incognito and focus bonuses.
- It's useful to have throwing knives equipped. Once a target starts running, you can slow him down with those.
- When playing in a group, be sure to communicate. The more people, the more chance you have of reaching sequence 25 but communication is the key. Be sure to not kill each others target except when stated otherwise.
- Use the D-Pad to scroll through targets and kill the nearest. If there is one target left, don't spend your time on getting bonuses but kill him quickly to get other targets.
- While playing in co-op, you'll get the chance to do a Sync Kill on sequence 10, 16, 22 and 25.
- In co-op, synchronize your kills to get more points (the Multi Kill bonus).
- If you receive new targets, press the back button and scroll through them with
. If you have two targets of which one is a coward and another is a fighting type, you want to kill the latter first and then focus on the coward since the fighter can stun you and the coward will more likely run off.
- Do a ground finish whenever possible. This is the most easiest 'get more points' bonus you can get. It would suck to see your game ended with a 50 point difference before another sequence because you didn't do a ground finish.
Good luck! If you have any other additional hints and tips, add them in the comment section or send me a PM. I'll gladly add them in.

Edit:I just unlocked the achievement solo. After messing around with abilities I had equipped the following:
- Ability 1: Smoke Bomb (Long-lasting + reduced cooldown)
- Ability 2: Poison (Maximum points)
- Ranged Weapon: Throwing Knives
- Perk 1: Overall Cooldown
- Perk 2: Resistance
- Win Streak: +550 Silent streak
- Loss Streak: Can be anything
I've unlocked my achievement on the map Charlestown since I believe this is the easiest one. Try to find your own 'better' map though, since playstyles can often be different from the ones I use.

Onsidic sent me a message with the following information:
When selecting the "Wolfpack - With Extra Content" it will still show up the original maps, so make sure that you select one of the following maps or the achievement will not pop after wave 25. The additional maps are Saint Pierre, Fort St. Mathieu, or Charlestown.
That being said, be sure to pick one of the three named above to be sure you pop this achievement. Big thanks to Onsidic for the PM.
