Hostage Situation Achievement
I am not able to get this achievement. I did exactly what it wants me to do ...
Is it because i try to do it on stealth? Please help me :o

In the Diamond Store job, don't let a single civilian in the store escape or die until all bags of loot are secured on the OVERKILL difficulty or above.

Any civilian leaving or dying within the "zone" will disable the achievement. The other external civs do not matter as long as they don't run into the "zone". Achievement is awarded upon securing the final (18th) diamond bag, other loot is not required.

The "zone" is everywhere within the showroom, up till slightly beyond the top of the stairs. The manager will be an issue, as she will walk into the showroom and then disable the achievement by either walking upstairs to her office, or out of the store front.

A full crew can ECM rush to secure the place, while a solo player can restart until they get the manager in the office.

I will be covering the rest of the new achievements as well, you can check them out at my guide (give or take a day or two):

Didn't work in stealth for myself and my 3 teammates. Did it first try on loud, however:

So. maybe this is a factor.

The manager has to be moved downstairs , as soon as you throw the last bag the achievement will pop up

does the store next door count also for this achivement or just the Diamond Store?

From a brief glance at the mission scripting, a civilian leaving the store will cause the achievement to be void. Does the manager ever leave the store? I can't recall.

Interestingly enough, this means that if you tie a civilian from outside, bring them in, and then bring them out, it will also void the achievement.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.
