If you've played through the other Call of Duty titles, this will be a cake walk. Saying that though, the same tactics still apply. Take cover whenever you have low health, try taking out guys from afar rather than rush up, and try getting assault rifles other than shotguns, handguns, etc.

Strike!
Kill 5 enemies with a single grenade.
22.55%
Uncommon
Do the Spec Ops Mission "Hit and Run" Solo, on Regular. Towards the end of the mission after you release the hostages, when you are waiting for the Exfil there will be a wave of enemies. Kill them, then there will be a larger, second wave of about 30 enemies. Hold r2 for about 2 seconds then let the grenade go. Ensure it lands on them, if you did this right you should have gotten 8 kills and the trophy will ding.

This worked the best for me, simply because it's more than enough kills. Some other tips are in locations of only 5 making it still hard. Here there are plenty of enemies and it nearly guarantees it. I did it a second time to ensure it worked. (Since it's spec ops you can see how many you got before it dings e.g. 800 = 8 kills)

There is a misconception with this trophy that gave me trouble on my first attempt- you can use the machine gun, but only on the soldiers.

There are 4 Choppers in Persona Non Grata, and all you have to do is hit them with your grenades. 2 grenades will bring down a chopper.

Hidden Trophy!
Keep in mind you must get all the kills while you are flying through the air.
Easily done on Recruit:
In the beginning of "Turbulence" pick yourself up an AK-74U.

Right before the Zero-G sequence reload your pistol and AK, and approach the room.

Have your pistol out before it starts, and take out 2.5 guys (3 if you can. .5= weaken him), then switch weapons and take out the rest with the AK.

The trophy will ding within 3 seconds of your killing all 5, BEFORE YOU HIT THE GROUND.

Best place is on Carbon MAp as air support crate is inside a building and choppers can't attack you I'd not recommend Underground because when chopper spots you they can hit you easily. Buy 10 claymores and plant them where enemies spawn and a sentry gun next to you. Now hit them with predator missiles.You would need about $11000.If you don't have that much just let the enemies come near you and shoot them with MP5.

If you're like me, this trophy and Danger Close will probably be the last trophies you need for platinum because you're not level 50 yet. The best way to rank up is to play Server Crash (begins in the jeep with GIGN driver, then you hop out and infiltrate a house and catacombs). Use the grenade launcher to take out infantry and vehicles, then kill yourself or restart the mission when the vehicle section is over. This should get you 5000 to 7000 points in 1 minute.

This is easily done when teaming up with a partner! Wave 15 isn't really that hard even for the worst of players.

You may have some problems is the Expert playlist. When Jugs come so does a heli, so either bunker up and take out the jugs or take out the heli and run around. Jugs should come wave 5 and 10 then 16, so prepare and have flash-bangs ready. If you have sentries hide them to save money because the jugs will take them out. It's best to face them with LMG's though because 2 full clips should take one out so if you're both shooting at him it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck it shouldn't take you much.

The trophy will unlock at the end of wave 14 (As the trophy only requires you to reach wave 15 and not complete. During Wave 15 to speed it up, you may both kill yourself.

Doing this mission on coop is recommend. Have the player in the tank push forward and do the killing whilst the other player kills people that the tank can't see or hit. Slowly make your way forward, only stopping to take cover and killing the next wave of enemies that spawn or to destroy the barricades that block the tanks's path. Both tanks and helicopters will also spawn and will try to kill either player so its best to take them out as soon as possible to prevent taking any major damage. You can take them out with the tank's cannon r2 or with the AT4 rocket launcher that the other player has (if you need more ammo you can get some at the back of the tank) Keep on slowly pushing your way forward till you make it to the beach, using cover and killing everything you can see. Once every wave has been eliminated, head to the green flare to finish the mission.

For spawns, waves, cover points and tips check the video out.

Then don't advance the tank till your sure you can stop the suiside bombers each guy will do like 10 points damage after you have cleared the path run back to the tank and advance with it by your side. If you advance the tank from far away your at risk of some guy you misssed will give damage to your tank. At the end of the mission don't let the last tank see your tank it will destroy it use your secondary weapon and shoot the enemy. If you need help taking out havoc's hold l1 with missile till you hear the beep and thats a lock on.

Doing this mission on coop is recommend. Have the sniper take out most of the enemies and the other player take cover and move forward only when its safe. Once you reach the warehouse take your time and pick off the enemies that you can see whilst the sniper player uses the reaper to kill reinforcements. After the EMP goes off, you are reunited with your coop partner and will have to make your way to the boat and make your escape. Pick as many normal enemies off as possible until the juggernaughts spawn. Don't try to kill the juggernaughts just avoid them and run to the end.

First things first. Press up up on the directional pad to see the timer, so you know how much time you got left at all times.

Start the mission on Regular difficulty so you can rush through the mission without much fear of dying. Go around to the right hand side of the ship and eliminate the first wave of enemies whilst the recon drone tags the beacon. Once you have planted the beacon clear the right side pathway to the stairs and plant the second beacon when everyone is dead. Then move through the middle to the other side and plant the third beacon. This will cause a lot more enemies to spawn onto the ship. The best thing to do is have you the recon drone take them out as they spawn, whilst you advance cautiously. Once clear plant the final beacon, turn around and run down the right hand flank (past where you planted the third beacon) whoever is controlling the drone will have to provide cover support for you. Only stop if enemies are shooting at you and use flash grenades to temporarily stun enemies so you can run past them with ease! Keep running down the right side until you reach the helicopter and you'll complete the mission once you jump on the helicopter!!
