i know you cant kill any engineers, but what about those blue things on that level where youre in a banshee and you fight a scarab? i was told those blue dome-like things spawn engineers, if i blow up those will i lose the achievement? cuz when you destroy the scarab it blows up like 4 or 5 around it. Thanks

"Unfortunately for us both, I like crazy."

As far as I know, the achievement is only concerned about the levels where you play as the Rookie, which is why it says, "no engineers in the city at night." I know the level you're referring to is technically at night, but since all of the Rookie's levels take place in the dark, it's just talking about those. Plus, it's pretty much impossible to beat the flying level without taking out those last few pods (the ones that cause the major explosion around the Phantom).
Good luck!

yeah this is correct, and im fairly sure the achievement unlocks before this mission but i might be wrong. also, to get the achievement the easy way. chuck it on easy and run through the entire game without firing a shot :)

As long as you don't shoot any engineers as ther rookie your fine. The acheivment unlocks after the final fight on mombasa streets and apears as soon as you drop down the lift into data hive.

welcome to good burger, home of the good burger, can i take ya order?

I have this achievement, and its opposite (Naughty Naughty). Don't Kill Engineers in MOmbasa Streets. IF you aren't playing as the rookie, Engineers are fair game. The achievement unlocked as Data Hive's first cutscene started playing.
