Look them in the eye achievement.

The description says you have to defeat tier 2 scavenger mission with melee weapons. What exactly defines the tier level of the given mission? You always have a mix of different tier enemies in one mission. Is is the highest tier of the enemy or some hidden arbitrary number? If you mix tier-2 and tier-3 enemies - does it make it a tier-3 scavenger mission and achievement won't trigger?

[Suncrash]

The tier can be deducted from the enemies and loot. Tier 2 are ghosts, possessed, and legion if I recall correctly. Sometimes maps also have enemies of 1 tier lower, so a tier 2 mission can also have tier 1 enemies such as werewolves and reapers on occasion.

I'm also having trouble with this achievement. I most recently defeated monsters in an area that was listed as having all Tier 2 loot. Is it possible that the sulfur and ectoplasm I received from killing monsters possibly prevented me from earning this achievement?

Is it also possible that the Exorcise ability from the Sacred Sword counts as ranged combat? (I skipped on the command in question in my last encounter.)

I'm at wit's end. I've now tried taking out my Level 10 survivalists (and using only three Level 9 survivalists) armed with a Diamond Cutter, Wakizashi, and Chainsaw. I'm out of ideas to try to get this achievement to unlock.

Edit: Just to prove that I'm doing everything, I tried doing what appeared to be a Level 2 loot job by assigning seven survivalists Tier 2 weapons and Tier 2 armor. (Four of the seven were at Level 10.) Still no achievement. I give up for now.

A few thoughts come to mind:
1. Did you win by killing all the enemies?
2. Did you use any mod at any time before in this save file? Mods disable achievements.

If you've made sure about the above and still can't get it to work, please send me a save file just before the scavenge mission that should get you the achievement, and I can check it on my end.

Yes. I accomplished this through both manual and auto-resolve.

Why yes, I did download and use a traits mod before trying to get this achievement. (I figured it would help since I built a Dark Altar so I could have the most effective melee specialists.) I disabled and removed the mod, started a new save, and then tried exiting and reloading the game, and still to no avail.

I wish I knew sooner that mods disable achievements, but I was going to have to start over anyway.
