Can you get the achievement in crater, on Night Version or does it only work on the standard (day) version?

I'm pretty sure it works on either night or day versions.

You can get it on both, but do the day ones. This is because Engineers are apparently nocturnal (they only appear on the night variants), while the average Jackal Sniper appears to be a morning person (they only appear on the day variants).

Trust me, it's a lot easier (on both maps with day and night variants) to deal with the snipers than the Engineers. That's because the maps are so open that you don't really have to even "deal" with the snipers (they won't be a threat if you keep moving or find good cover), but you MUST deal with the Engineers when they appear, or all your targets will be ridiculously hard to down. And trust me, it's excessively hard to take down an Engineers who's floating far above the map from one end to the other while you have Grunts, Jackals, Drones, and Brutes assaulting you from all angles, and you're taking fire from a Wraith all at once. That was my downfall on those night variants.

I am Katsu Kage, an assassin trained in the art of stealth. I was on a recon mission when I discovered a blue box hidden among some rubble. Once I entered the blue box it had taken me to a land far away. It was strange and fantastic! There I met PatikaVoom, the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. She showed me this land, then returned with me to the blue box. She called it a TARDIS and seemed to know how to work it. We left together and have been on many adventures, with many more to come!

Either will work.

When the mythic skull is not on, a single plasma pistol overcharge will kill an engineer - so it's not that much harder at night. Also, you have the benefit of seeing the camouflaged brutes at night with VISR mode on - but if you play during the day, you have to count on hearing the mauler before they throw their firebombs. It's about the same difficulty either way, so it's really up to you.

Like I said, though; I found it to be a hassle to get that accurate Plasma Pistol shot off when the Engineer was at a high altitude, flying around both sides of the map, and you had Grunts, Jackals, and Brutes constantly breathing down your throat, along with that damned Wraith constantly firing on you. Just too much going on in one open area, and night time is actually significantly hard if you, like me, have trouble getting those plasma shots off in that chaos.
