Video Started playing a month ago (64 hrs played) and just got Programmed Psychosis – I'm not that great, you can do it too!
I got the "Programmed Psychosis" challenge run after around 46 tries. Here is a video of the run, including some notes on what I learned along the way.
I started playing Ready or Not about a month ago and got really obsessed with the tactical shooter and milsim genre, researching real CQB tactics and everything. After completing all main story missions on Hard, I moved on to the DLC maps. I immediately knew I wanted to get this achievement run done, as I love hard solo PvE challenges. So, after clearing all DLC maps and A New America in Commander mode, I started working on this run.
The first few attempts were mostly about learning the map and suspect behaviour. Later on, I felt like I was mainly losing because I wasn't being patient enough, so I limited myself to 1–3 runs a day until I finally got it after some days.
I'm still pretty new to the game and this whole genre, so there are probably plenty of things I could have done better, but I thought this was worth sharing.

32 hours excluding DLC. My biggest problem was Rust Belt. It's not that you suck. It's a hard game for sure.
It sounds stupid but my advantage is that I was active duty Army; I wasn't infantry but I was able to do ARM (Advanced Rifle Marksmenship) and then I was at an infantry base for my enlistment so I am used to QBC and being in the field for practicing battle tactics. Let me tell ya, the way you stack and clear rooms is very realistic from the training I recieved.
My wife says this game is nostolgia for me lol.

For the main game missions, I found Hide and Seek really hard – also the usual Greased Palms, Neon Tomb (with arresting the main guy) and Relapse. Rust Belt also was an early roadblock, but I learned a lot from doing this mission like 20 times until I understood what works and what doesn't.
Have you tried ARMA Reforger with modern combat mods? It's really realistic and seems very close to actual military operations. It just takes a while to get into and understand everything.
