    Ninja ScrollI died a few times and received credit towards the achievement as I continued to restart my last wave. I’m a low level and unlocked the achievement on wave 9. I did a lot of blind fire and aim behind a barrier.

    I did this solo from wave 1 casual on Fallout.
    Obviously a max level soldier will do this a lot easier than a low level soldier, but as long as you have assault rifle damage and cover accuracy cards, then this should be straight forward.

    I dragged the fabricator back to the spawn and stayed at the leftmost cover. With the cover accuracy card making this achievement so simple, just stay in cover and shoot over head as you see the bullet accuracy zoom in so fast. Coupled with lancer damage (don’t bother switching weapons) the enemies go down pretty quickly. If juvies jump over, don’t aim but stay in cover and hip fire and it will still count as a cover kill. You should bet this way before the boss wave if you don’t switch weapons.

    ColumnedJet9Don’t you mean assault rifle accuracy?

    neeker75I only have a Level 4 soldier. I don't have cover accuracy. And I unlocked the achievement using this method first time.

    The best thing about this solution is that the suggested map is a launch map, so there was no need to spend money to buy anything as well (Game Pass user).

    Since neither guide actually tell you the requirements for this one, you need 40 kills in cover and 100 lancer kills as a Soldier. You can do this on solo starting from wave 1 on any map. I used Relic on Casual and setup the fabricator at the western side of the map(use back, then b to see the map).

    It really doesn't matter what skill cards you use.

    Basically set up camp in the far corner in cover and kill any enemies that come your way. Feel free to go out in the open when there are only a few enemies left, you don't need to stay in cover all the time. Try to stick to using the Lancer to get this over quickly, but if you feel like mixing it up against certain enemies that's fine, just don't get rid of the Lancer.

    This popped at the end of wave 6 for me, but could take longer for you based on enemy set and cover usage
