Requirements: You must escape after being seen.

Description: This is an easy challenge and you shouldn't have any problems completing it even without reading the requirements. All you have to do is to escape after you've been located. Remain in the shadows instead of attacking the guards and you'll earn a point as soon as they've lost your trace. Repeat this fourteen more times to unlock the third level.

Requirements: You must neutralize an opponent while he is checking your last known position.

Description: I would recommend practicing in larger rooms occupied by single opponents. Show yourself and then vanish before you're killed. Wait until the opponent tries to find you by heading towards your last known position (screen). You'll now have to surprise him from the side or from the back. Naturally destroying nearby sources of light before trying to score a point may help. Outsmart and kill 15 opponents this way to reach level three.

Requirements: You must neutralize an opponent at least ten metres from your last known position.

Description: This is a relatively easy challenge, however you will have to make some preparations. I would recommend choosing large rooms with a lot of dark space. Plant a mine in a bright area and remain there until you're seen by one or more opponents. Run away to the shadows and wait for enemies to appear close to the mine. Detonate the charge to kill them. If you don't want to use mines you can also rely on a rifle equipped with a scope, but it'll be quite risky. You should know that reaching level three of this challenge will require you to kill 50 opponents this way so you should start as soon as possible if you don't want to repeat certain scenes too many times.

Requirements: You must show yourself to a group of enemy units and then use a portable EMP device to stun at least three of them.

Description: Despite what you might think this is a relatively easy challenge. You will be allowed to start completing it after unlocking portable EMP devices which will occur during the Washington Monument mission. Start off by approaching a group of three or more enemies (I would recommend at least 4-5 to increase your chances of stunning a sufficient number of them). Show yourself for a fraction of a second and then trigger the EMP (screen). Quickly return to the shadows and stay there, because otherwise you won't earn a point for a successful action. Use this method 50 times to achieve the highest third level of the challenge.

Requirements: You must show yourself to an opponent, use a flashbang grenade and escape from his line of sight.

Description: This is a slightly more challenging assignment than the previous one, mostly because flashbang grenades won't work right away. You'll have to make sure that Fisher doesn't die in the time frame between revealing his position and the flashbang exploding. The only good news is that you won't have to target groups of enemy units, because you will be allowed to score single points by escaping from one opponent. Quickly return to the shadows after throwing a flashbang and stay there, because otherwise you won't earn a point for a successful action. Use this method on fifteen opponents to achieve the highest third level of the challenge.

Requirements: You must stun at least three opponents with a single EMP grenade.

Description: I think it's fairly obvious that you should be throwing EMP grenades inside small rooms so that enemy units won't have anywhere to run. An ideal spot is a guard post from the Price Airfield mission (screen). You should start completing this challenge as soon as possible. Reaching first level requires stunning 10 enemies, however achieving the highest third level requires stunning 50 opponents.

MULTIPLAYER MODES ONLY!

Requirements: You must save your team-mate before he is chocked to death by an opponent.

Description: This is a rather tough assignment and I wouldn't recommend attempting to score points in the cooperation mode. Notice that if you approach an enemy from the front and try to grab him he may perform a counterattack and start choking you. Wait until something like this happens to your partner and then kill the enemy before he manages to choke your friend to death. Perform this action 15 times to achieve the highest third level.

MULTIPLAYER MODES ONLY!

Requirements: You must heal a heavily injured team-mate.

Description: A cooperation mode is the best choice here. Wait until your partner has been defeated by enemy units, secure the surrounding area and quickly approach him in order to revive him. Perform this action 15 times to achieve the highest third level.
