  • Clever Girl

     

    Get 40 kills on Flanked enemies within a single campaign

    How to unlock Clever Girl

    You will have to flank the enemy from behind or their sides for this to count. I suggest playing aggressive during the first few operations while the enemies are weaker. If you enter Battle Focus "Flanked" will appear when you target them. If you continue to flank the enemy with the shotgun and take them out while they are in cover, this trophy should come mid to late game.

  • I missed this as I played Commander difficulty first, so I started again on Easy and played very aggressively, I got the trophy halfway through picking up Dr Weir.
  • Damn it's frustrating. To Count as "flanked" enemies have to stick to a cover otherwise they become "exposed". But shooting them hard (but not hard enough to kill them) will knock them out of cover, then it's a dice roll if they go back to cover or just stupidly stand there shooting at you, and that's if you're lucky enough to not have an ally execute them before they go back in cover. MANY "flanked" kills are missed simply because the enemy refuses to get into cover.
    That and the flanking mechanic is pretty imprecise, sometimes you surround completely an enemy inside cover, but he won't be flanked, sometimes but more rarely, they are even though you shouldn't be meeting the requirements.
    Also the trophy is unclear as to whereas the players must get the flanking kills or if it counts if the team mates do it. And to top it of, often times an enemy is indeed flanked, but not everyone on the team show them as such from their perspective, and I'm pretty sure if an enemy is flanked but someone gets the kill when he doesn't show him as flanked even if two others do, then it doesn't count.
