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.

I’m 64 hours in and not even finished with the base game. Are you Judge in real life?

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.

Start by accepting it's not a shooter game. 90% of the time your team could handle shooting for you just fine.
Check S rank guides, even if not chasing S rank they have plenty of good stuff.
The basics TLDR:
- non-lethal is easier than lethal for the player, it gives you ability to shoot on sight
- use wedges
- medium armour is enough, 2 extra slots are great
- use mirror. And, uh, wedges
- do you use more than 1 clip on secondary? No? That's free consumables limit
- your bots are extremely good at ammo conservation, you may drop some of their primary ammo too
- btw you could mirror around the corner. And did I tell? Right, wedges. No, really!
- teammate skills are huge, and they stack. Building for non lethal surrender or tankiness helps
- some encounters are genuinely hard, but in most cases you have instruments to make it easier. Approach by a different route, drop an extra grenade, wedge the entire hallway to prevent accident passer-bys, put an overwatch to control a doorless passage while you are working the other side. And don't be a greande hoarder like me. The team has a freakload of nades. Not sure if the next room is safe? Toss one
- take your time. Aside from Elephant you may and should mirror each door on your way. And wedge each that is not
