The Hanged Man - Help to the Lost

[jungle.james]

I've probably spent a collective 2 or 3 hours just trying to 100% Ready or Not, with the last achievement being "The Hanged Man". Decided to make a thread to guide would be attempts at it.

Mode - Practice

Loadout - beanbag 870 (no attachments) / Glock 19 (no attachments) / 11 flashbangs / 1 taser / breaching shotgun (Be wary not to hit any key that brings up anything other than the taser).

Squad - P90 / (Tundra / dot) (full mags save 1 sidearm mag) / USP .45 (suppressor / laser) / breaching shotgun / (no deployables)

Now this is important to note. On the run that triggered the conditions, I deployed no flashbangs at all. None of this "You have to bash 3, taser 3, bang 3." No. I used the taser once on the gimp. Everything else was executed commands except for opening the shipping containers. Order your squad to do everything. Restrain. Clear. Open doors. Even so much as a kick I believe implies some other means of item, so use your squad to do everything.

In essence, outside of the containers, LARP the map as if you're a tactical advisor. Additionally, I had full armor, ceramic, and the plain helmet (no specialized gear).

Thanks bro, honestly I've been trying to do this achievement for quite some time and I was getting tired. Until I wanted to try what you were saying, step by step, until the squad's equipment. And it helped me, I already have the achievement. Thank you so much. I'm giving you a steam prize

I say it's also best to not to have the AI squad use any equipment on doors too, such as the lock pick. On the play through it popped for me, I ignored locked doors and went around. Prior to that, I did everything you said to a T numerous times and it wouldn't work. Just my experience though.

i had my team lock pick two doors for me and the cheevo still popped
used 7 of my flashbangs 7 taser shots
did not command them to stack up n clear on any doorway
one civilian died in a crossfire and still got the cheevo

Interesting, guess it's just really glitchy. lol

Look, what I did to be able to get this achievement is as jungle.james says, except that I did use 5 flashes out of 10 and used the taser 4 times (that is, 2 chargers of the weapon). Also use bash on an enemy and nothing else. Then for the squad I gave him the equipment, the same one he says (jungle.james). To give him the orders, I let them do everything, such as arresting him, grabbing the evidence, opening the doors and if they are not open, using the pick lock.
I only opened the doors of the containers that are the soft missions.
It should be noted that 2 of my squad died.
And they still gave me the achievement.

Bro how did you unlock all achievements in the game in 2 days on December 27-28 without playing the last 2 weeks...

[jungle.james]

I keep my playtime hidden because I prefer my library to be displayed alphabetically. Total time 40 hours. 100% likely took about 30 or so.

AHHAHAHHHA...

AH...

Yeah

[jungle.james]

Think whatever you like, but that's my reasoning. I also always buy games in 2 because I prefer the library count to be an even number and not odd. Xeinok and I are friends, and I occasionally unlock hours played for sites to update.

All of that said, you think I just SAM'd it if I'd gone through the trial an error of the info in my post?

I'll say it is impressive that you manage to S rank every mission in the game in 50 minutes, or basically 2-3 tries max, at 11pm December 17. since you also did the no death iron man 16 hours later. at 3pm.

[jungle.james]

Well, you Alt+F4 and that is your second playthrough. Your first's primary hurdle outside of learning AI behavior is "Elephant" and using the stun launcher on the 4 active shooters in ~8 minutes and diffusing the remaining ~3.

dude...why do you think I said 11pm...to 3pm the next day. that means you DIDN'T do it one try or One the playthrough....

[jungle.james]

I S ranked in non-ironman and quickly finished in ironman after learning the maps and how to exploit the AI. It also helps to have an entire month off.

okay. after SEVERAL hours trying to figure this ♥♥♥♥ out. I finally got it. Comprehensive list below of things that I did for my successful achievement

Allowed:
Both practice mode and commander mode
Yell for compliance
Arresting
Collecting Evidence
Opening Doors
Using the Taser
Using Flashbangs
Using Bash
AI Lockpicking
AI Arresting and Collect Evidence

Not Allowed:
You cannot lockpick

I had AI do nothing but Open and Clear. No equipment
Both you and your squad are NOT allowed to have the Ballistics Shield or use it

As long as you restrict your actions to the allowed list ONLY and remove all shields and masks/nvgs from your AI squad. You should get the achievement

[jungle.james]

My squad had ballistic masks but yes, I do not believe they are permitted to use shields.
