    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but you cannot get this in the Guam mission. I think I got five KO takedowns after pressing the Attract button and nothing popped, but first try in the Benghazi mission and I got it.

    Anyway, as soon as you see your first militia member in the Benghazi mission, get in cover and press Select. The target should look around and slowly approach you. As soon as the screen prompts you to press X for a takedown, do it and the achievement should pop shortly after.

    Helpful tip I discovered while playing through the mission - if an enemy doesn't respond to your first sound don't keep pressing Select - once too often and every enemy in the area will converge on your spot, no matter your visibility.

    MM2313I can now confirm that you can get this in the Benghazi mission. You'll learn how to distract the guard with sound, so you hit select. The guard will go "Huh? and will investigate. I used a lethal takedown and still got the achievement. I think it also counts for silent takedowns as well.

    geobandit212I also tried to get this achievement on the Guam mission. It wouldn't pop and I'm guessing it's because that mission is really a tutorial mission (if you can even call it that).

    Got it first try on the Benghazi mission but you could also get it doing one of the side missions as well. Super easy to get too!

    For this achievement you have to call an enemy over and take him out without being detected. This can't be gained in the prologue misssion. I did this on the first side mission. Simply go into cover by pressing B then press BACK and the enemy with investigate the sound, once he comes over take take him out.
