Combat Achievements
Toxic Influence
Have poisoned soldiers kill 5 other enemies
This is one of the most annoying achievements. To poison an enemy, use the Fantasma Supremo with the El Besito Resolver weapon. Go to an FND Base or shoot enemies to raise your Heat level. Once soldiers focus on you, use the Fantasma's special to shoot gas canisters. If that doesn't work, use El Besito to poison more. Keep trying until poisoned soldiers kill 5 others.
Death From Above

Jump out of an aircraft and parachute down, then shoot a Rocket Launcher at enemies below. Or just use a helicopter to kill them from above.
Didn't See That Coming!

Outdated Tech
Take out a soldier by sabotaging an alarm

They'll die from the explosion.
