15 Hardest Video Game Achievements Of 2017 (So Far)

3. Better Than The Best - Sniper Elite 4

Sniper Elite 4 is the best game out there if you're looking to shoot Hitler right where the sun don't shine with a sniper rifle. It's also the best game out there if you want to torture yourself with insanely difficult achievements.

Better Than the Best is going to require you to beat the entire campaign on Authentic Plus difficulty with zero manual saves. Authentic difficulty alone is tough, but Authentic Plus is essentially realism mode. In Authentic Plus there is no radar, no HUD, no on-screen notifications. Enemies will never, seriously NEVER, stop looking for you if they've been alerted. If you alert one single enemy you're better off either restarting the entire level or killing every single enemy in the mission.

Oh, and that whole "no manual saves" thing means that if you die on a level, even five feet away from the end, you restart the whole thing. There are no checkpoints in Authentic Plus, and no manual saves mean you have no security net. One small screw-up and it's back the drawing board.

The only saving grace in this is the fact you can do it co-op, which means you can revive each other. Then there's also just one more person who can screw everything up - pick your poison.

This achievement is currently sitting at a 0.02% unlock rate. If you're one of the very select few who've unlocked it, boast about it, you deserve it.
