    This requires you to finish any district (by killing the Übercommander) without getting seen by anyone (at first I thought this meant not alerting any commanders, but it seems that's not the case). The easiest one I found was Roswell - Downtown. Make sure you have the Constrictor Harness and just slowly walk forward until you get to the building the target is in (then enter using the harness). There are a few enemies walking around, but they're very easy to avoid. Aside from the commander, I only had to kill one clansman at the beginning and just avoid everything else. Just kill the commander, take the death card, return to base, and the achievement is yours.

    EDIT: Heraizen has provided a video guide for those who want it:

    EDIT 2: This achievement is known to be buggy. First of all, it appears you have to do this on your first time playing through a district (replaying it won't work). Secondly, it seems that this achievement can simply glitch out and not be obtainable on certain save files. The only surefire solution is to simply start a new save game.

    GrenadehhI just did this 5 consecutive times on Roswell - Downtown and it doesn't work. It has to be the first time through. Yet another garbage mechanic in this game. I can confirm nrdsgt's confirmation that it has to be when you "actually" killed the obercommander.

    GlycodinI missed this achievement in my main playthrough. I started a new game on the easiest difficulty and it took me three hours to get to the point where it was available to complete.

    OxmixTried many times within time and didn't pop. Used Hyper devil cat's solution at Mesquite. Although for me I could not shoot anything except the two commanders. After shooting second commander before alarm is raised fully, you can just leave...and ...pop.

    I got this one easily when going after the last Uber Commander in the Hidden Bunker. He is the only commander there, and is at the very end. You can make as much noise as you want on your way there and have no issue. Once you start to climb a long ladder you will see his range meter. There is only 1 other enemy in the area and he is near the commander. If you go slow, you can take out the commander before he knows what has happened then deal with the Mech. I got this without even trying.

    JonnyTurkThis was v/easy, once you get close to the Uber Commander just have a save beforehand and you can start nearby if you stuff up. Great solution!

    beets101Doesn’t work for me, I saved on the ladder but it won’t pop. Not the first achievement not to pop. A very glitchy game.

    Another simple level is the Mesquite Farmhouse district through the kill board activities.

    1) Once the level starts crouch and head straight until you see two guys. Shoot them in the head with the silenced pistol. Now follow the catwalks to the right of you and you will see a flying enemy above you, either wait for it to move or duel silence pistol it down.

    2) Follow the right side of the map. Eventually you'll jump over a fence into water and get out, then go through a foggy spot, then to a tractor. Head around the tractor to the back of the house and head up the stairs. Now the commander is either in the kitchen (to your left) or upstairs (to your right), either way watch out for the dog. One silenced pistol bullet to the noggin and he's dead.

    3) Now either head outside through the front or back door and to your right to the last guy. I followed the right side of the map to get his dog away from him and killed his dog. After killing the dog crouch walk away because the commander and another guy will walk towards the dead dog. Time your head shots for both OR head shot the normal enemy and hatchet the commander OR hatchet both....doesn't matter really. Pick up card if you need it and/or head back to base.

    OxmixFor me I could not shoot anything except the two commanders. Keep hugging right to get to first commander. Again, right a short ways to second commander. Kill him first out of the group before alarm is raised fully. Now you can leave...and....pop. THX HYPER DEVIL CAT FOR THE ACHIVO!!!
