    As long as you do not fire the sniper rifle, you will get the achievement. I did this on Legendary and simply gave the sniper rifle to Buck. EDIT: The comments seem to suggest that giving the sniper or beam rifle to Buck can cause the achievement to unlock. So it is probably best to simply abandon the sniper rifle with a plasma pistol at the first possible opportunity.

    For the most part, you are going to want to be Noob Comboing all the brutes for the first portion of the mission (and further if you don't find any other weapons.)

    The layout of the mission means that a pistol with serve you better than a sniper rifle will anyways. If you have already completed the level on legendary then just run through on heroic, however if you have yet to complete it on legendary and are at least somewhat competent at the game, then play through on Legendary and get the level out of the way whilst also dealing with this achievement.

    EDIT: While you cannot use the sniper rifle, you can use the Beam Rifle. Thank you to the people who have checked this.

    R3f1CuLThis achievement and several others on ODST simply will not unlock no matter what I do. Tried giving it to Buck and tried dropping it for another weapon too. Non sniper weapon and everything. Just plasma'd and pistol'd everything up until the last section really. This game is still a joke even after all these years with these stupid achs not unlocking correctly.

    Pure Pip RaptorGave the sniper rifle to Buck as soon as the level started and even used a beam rifle and the achievement popped when I was loading into Mombasa Streets.

    taquionirico2022 update: just load the mission in Heroic with both Bandana and Acrophobia skulls enabled, give your sniper to anybody or change it for other weapon and fly through the mission. You can press up on the d pad as you go so you know where to go every time.

    Simply load up NMPD HQ on Heroic difficulty. Beat the level without firing a sniper rifle bullet. I did this in co-op and I can confirm that you are allowed to die. I died, did not pick up my sniper rifle and continued through the level and the achievement still popped at the end.
