I will only be listing PEC challenges that might need require a little boosting here. A lot of the challenges are completed as you play through the campaigns. These are the ones that you might not get the chance to get because the situations are not always present. If there is any other PEC challenges you would like to see a "guide" for let me know and I can add them.
I am listing these by level. There are certain levels that are just easier to get certain challenges completed. I will try to find the fewest possible levels as possible (who likes load screens anyway)
All boosting should be done on the easy difficulty. Also don't forget that you have split-screen available to you as well. Sometimes it is easier to use two controllers than have to count on someone else playing.
Level 2 - Kobin's Mansion
Death from Above, Grab from Ledge, Behind Closed Doors, Shadow Takedown, Last known position, pistol marksman, car alarm investigation, Alternate Door Entry, Breaking Glass.
This is the first door you come to in the level. There a guy standing on the other side of it. Take him out with a hand to hand or death from above. If you opened the door, go back to the street side of it and close it. Look under the door and mark the two guys further down. Once they are marked open door and execute them.
First door
Death From Above
Mark these two from under the first door. That's two for behind closed doors
Now take out the guy in the window and move to room on the far right. Look under door and mark these two jokers. Open door and execute. Close one of the windows near the center of the big room. Go through the center door and grab the guy standing at the railing. Take him to the closed window and throw him into it. If you go to the left of where that guy was standing originally there is one door. Close this door and look under neath. Go to the far right and you will see a guy standing there. Mark him, open door and execute.
Guy in window
Room on far right
Mark and execute those two guys. That's four for Behind Closed Doors.
Guy behind the center door. Need to grab him
Throw him through the closed window for Breaking Glass challenge. Can also throw him through a closed door for Alternate Door Entry.
Go to left door and close it. Look under and mark and execute this guy. That's five for Behind Closed Doors.
RINSE AND REPEAT AS NECESSARY
Level 5 - Washington Monument
Vanish Silently, Cat and Mouse, Portable EMP Escape, Advanced Stealth, Advanced Close Combat, 10x Predator
First we will look at a good way to get the Portable EMP and Vanish Silently challenges done.
You will be taking cover at the small box as soon as you start to make your way back through the fair grounds. Once behind this box get the attention of the guys by firing at them. Once you have been spotted use your portable EMP and run back and to the left. Crouch behind/near the second light pole and wait for them to say they have lost you. Go back to box and repeat. Once all EMPs have been used reload checkpoint.
Hide behind this box
Once spotted, run back and to the left. If there is no ghost you were not spotted and will not get credit
Crouch behind second light pole so you don't get spotted again
RINSE AND REPEAT AS NECESSARY (do this before you go on. this is a checkpoint area)
Now that you are done there. Take out this set and second set of guys with a remote mine. Now you can work on the Cat and Mouse challenge with the third set of guys.
Take out the first guy at the end of the alley. Turn back around and go through the hole under the trailer. Follow the counter to the right and take out the group with a remote mine. Throw it just behind the guys taking cover. Go back through the hole and take a right. Take up position behind the box in the center and mark the last guy standing. He will be to your right. Fire your weapon at him. He will come for you. When he takes cover at the corner of the counter use your EMP and run behind the game cabinet. He will come over to check out your last known and when he does take him out with a hand to hand move. Rinse and Repeat.
Take the guy out at the end of the alley way
Here you can see the box in the center and game cabinet on the right. These will be were you take cover at in a moment.
Go through this hole under the trailer and take cover on the counter.
Take out this group of guys with a remote mine Turn and go back through the hole.
Â
Take cover on the center box and mark this guy. Get his attention by shooting at him.
Â
He usually comes over to the green and yellow swirl counter to the right, when he gets there use your EMP and take cover behind the game cabinet.
If he takes this route use your EMP and he will switch back to usual route.
This is the game cabinet. Stay back or he will see you when he turns the corner. Take him out with a hand-to-hand move
RINSE AND REPEAT AS NECESSARY
Advanced Stealth & Advanced Close Combat
Here is a video I posted on youtube.com.
It is a quick run through for these two Challenges. I did get spotted, but if you use one of your EMPs on that guy it works just fine. You only need two EMPs to get to your car.
Level 11 - Downtown District
Any challenge that needs the use of a gadget. Especially those that require three or more guys.
This level gives you about 7 to 8 guys in a big group right at the beginning. I found that this is the best place for any gadget challenges that you might have left. Hand grenade for 3x guys, EMP Grenade, Flash Bang Escape, Remote Mine, or Sticky Cam. You no longer have the Portable EMP, but that is what the Washington Monument is for.
First off you will need to go up the stairs and take cover at the large double door way. Here you will see a bunch of guys coming in. Use your gadget of choice, Rinse and Repeat. If you are using both the EMP grenade and Frag Grenade for stunned person kills you need to be quick to get credit.
If you are using just EMP grenades, throw one out as soon as the previous one explodes. Works every time.
If you are using Flashbangs, throw a flash bang turn and run back to where you started the level at. They won't see you at all. Once they say they have lost you. Rinse and Repeat.
Throw your gadget at this box. You get best coverage with it.
If you are doing grenade kills, throw your second grenade here. Wait a few seconds after first one explodes though. Might take a few times to get timing down
RINSE AND REPEAT AS NECESSARY
Level 1 Co-Op - St. Petersburg Banya Chapter: Garage
Choke Hold Freedom
Start a Co-Op game either on live or splitscreen. Select St. Petersburg Banya and put the chapter to the Garage. Do this on easy difficulty.
Go through the chapter and when you get to the last room have your non-boosting player grab the mark. After the phone call you will get the chance to save your partner from a choke hold. Take the guy out and reload chapter.
