Use a gadget to escape a confrontation.

Enter a restricted area with civilians and intentionally get caught to trigger a confrontation. During the comply dialogue prompt, use your Q-Watch to distract the target and escape.

Disarm an enemy with a laser.

You unlock the Laser Strap gadget while game progression. Be sure to equip it in the Q-Lab before starting a mission. To execute this, let an armed enemy detect you, wait for them to aim at you, and hit them with the laser. Just remember, the laser requires electric charges to fire, so you'll need to pick up blue batteries to keep it powered.

Push an enemy into a fire extinguisher.

Find an area with wall mounted fire extinguishers and use your melee button to shove an enemy into one. A great spot is Chapter 8. During one of a mission look for the fire extinguisher in the back left corner from where you entered, lure an enemy over, and push them in.

Knock out an enemy by shooting them in the legs.

Keep shooting an enemy in the legs until they go down. The final shot that defeats them must hit the leg, shooting them once isn't enough. You need to land multiple leg shots until they're down.

Make an enemy taser another enemy.

Locate an area with taser wielding enemies and keep one alive alongside a regular enemy. Hold your grab button to trigger the longer dragging animation and push your human shield directly into the taser's blue line so they take the hit. Look for enemies wearing weapon holsters and bullet proof vests, if you fight regular enemies for about 30 seconds, these armoured enemies will eventually start aiming their tasers at you.

Shoot an enemy while they're throwing a grenade.

Wait for an enemy to pull out a grenade, and shoot them right as they swing their arm to throw it, forcing them to drop the explosive. To make this much easier, activate your slow motion ability while aiming or hold the Q-Watch button to slow down time. A perfect farming spot is Chapter 10. You spawn directly in front of enemies, so just hide behind cover and wait for someone to make a throw.

Hack a grenade before it explodes.

During combat, wait for an enemy to throw a grenade, then look at it on the ground and use your Q-Watch to hack and deactivate it. The same farming spots work perfectly here: Chapter 10 (Checkpoint 11: Ambush) or Chapter 11 (Checkpoint 11: Webb Exhibition). Hide in cover, wait for a grenade, and hack it.

Disarm an enemy by shooting a weapon from their hand.

You should automatically unlock this during the training in Chapter 3: The Needle's Eye. You can disarm enemies by shooting their hand when they're aiming at you.

Tackle an enemy over a ledge.

Hold your grab button on an enemy to trigger the continuous backward push animation. Steer them toward a ledge, such as the top of a ladder, and fall over the edge together to knock them out on impact. An early spot to earn this is in Chapter 5 during the "Steal the flag" objective.

Complete an Escalation in TacSim.

Escalations are unlocked after Chapter 6: A Night Out. Go to Title Screen > Tactical Simulations > Play one Escalation. The first one is a quick combat tutorial that can be done in about a minute.

Achieve Clearance Level 3

After finishing Chapter 6, head to the Title Screen and select Tactical Simulations. You'll need to earn XP by completing Escalations, Operations, and Challenges to reach Clearance Level 3. This typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes.

The most efficient approach is to knock out the other three TacSim achievements first. If you're still not at Level 3 after that, press your menu button to bring up quick challenges for easy XP. A solid farming method is pushing enemies off cliffs during Escalation: Advanced Tactical Training to top off your level.

Beat Tier 3 of an Escalation in TacSim

Escalations unlock after Chapter 6. From the Title Screen, navigate to Tactical Simulations, select the first Escalation, which is essentially a simple combat tutorial and complete all three of its short tiers.

Complete an Operation in TacSim

Operations unlock after you've finished the main story. From the Title Screen, head to Tactical Simulations and complete a single Operation.

These missions are essentially replays of campaign encounters with modified objectives. The first one is highly recommended, it's very easy and takes only about three minutes to finish, making it a quick and painless way to grab this achievement.
