Tips for Battlefield Awareness Commendation
Maybe i didnt do the search right, but i could not find any posts about Commendation Tips, so i will just post one here.
Battlefield Awareness requires you to (1) move to an elevated position, (2) take out 3 hostiles with your primary and secondary weapons, so 6 altogether, (3) without MISSING ANY shots, (4) without TAKING DAMAGE from the hostiles.
Now, lotta ppl say you dont really need help with these kinds of achievements, because you know, they "can be done", but as a self-starter-helper myself, i spent several hours just to brainstorm some strategies for this Commendation. The Commendation instructions are self-explanatory, but getting it done is another pain story. I'm sure you have good builds and good skills, but this is how i got it done, and i found this trick fairly easy, of course, and i just hope others may find my tips useful in some way.
First the elevated position, you wanna climb up high enough so the kills will count, and you wanna at least have some time to fend off hostiles climbing up to your position. Simply jumping on top of a delivery truck may not be "high enough" for the game. So the Overgrowth CP has a pretty tall ladder on the way to the supply room, but when the hostiles start to show up, i find them swarming on me even at Lv 1. And there are 2 ladders to the roof, so you may not always fend off these climbers quick enough to protect the (4) take no damage requirement. So my suggestion is to use the building that is East to the CP, this one has a taller ladder, and hostiles are less focused on you during takeover duration.


Next the weapon choice, two Marksman Rifles (or Sniper Rifles if it sounds better on your ears), Defender Drone, and maybe Pulse. Since everything will reset if you miss ONE SHOT, you rather use single-shot rifles, but the challenge is that Rifles can take a whole mag to KILL an enemy, if most hits are body shots. And since taking a single bullet damage from HOSTILES will also reset everything, all that time spent on firing 7-8 consecutive shots at one enemy can be draggy and leave you vulnerable to damages. So my suggestion is to pick Marksman Rifles, they all give bonus damage for headshots, and take a little time to aim for headshots so you can take out hostiles in 1-2 bullets. Defender Drone active time is 20-30 sec depending on modding, but activating this right after your first bullet hit will greatly help with (4) take no damage requirement.
I did the similar Accuracy Distinction Commendation, but it did not have (4) take no damage requirement, so i just had to put these tips out here. Im sure you can find better easier tips somewhere else, and i really hope you get this Commendation much easier than how i got it.
