Step by step guide

Under normal circumstances you need to get to level 31 to unlock the Many Must Fall perk in Zero's Bloodshed skill tree. This allows you to stay in deception mode for 10 seconds and is required to unlock the Unseen Predator achievement.

Here is an alternative method, if you want to get this achievement easier and faster:

Get a Bandit Technical vehicle on a Catch-A-Ride station. When you play solo you must reach the story mission A Dam Fine Rescue where you are tasked to get the five bandit car parts for Ellie in The Dust. After this sub-mission you will be able to spawn a Bandit Technical from any Catch-A-Ride station. You can also join a game of somebody who has already completed this mission to spawn a Bandit Technical vehicle.

After you spawned the car you must hop on the back - not on the driver seat and also not on the turret. Now comes the tricky part: Use Zero's action skill to go into Deception mode [default key: F] and immediately hop on the left or the right seat in the back of the vehicle [default key: E].

The camera will now zoom in from the 3rd person perspective into the 1st person perspective. At the instance the camera changes into the 1st person perspective switch seats [default key: C]. Continue to change seats for 10 seconds - even after your 5 seconds deception mode expired.

When you hop off the back of the vehicle [default key: E] the achievement should pop up. For all the afore mentioned steps the timing of hitting the keys is crucial and you will probably need to try it several times. It took me about 10 trials until I got the correct timing and the achievement popped up.

Disclaimer:
I saw this video on YouTube by a guy who did this on his Xbox. So all kudos go to him. However, I found no source confirming that it also works on PC. I can definitely confirm it also works on PC.

21.10.22:

0.Put the game on 30 FPS (in video mode).

1.Activate Zero's Decepti0n mode
2.Wait till the timer is as close to 0.00 as possible
3.Get into the car
4.Leave the car

Basically E -> Wait -> F -> F and done!
To know you did it correctly, the numbers will stay at 0.00 until you have climbed out of the vehicle!

Cinematic one does not work anymore, but back of car does. It's easier to wait till almost 0 and only then hop into the back and switch seats once

Nov.2020. Trick with cinematics does`nt work. I tried it 6 times.
Cant done with glitch in this guide too. Tried ab30min. Nothing.
Downloaded custom save Zero 72lvl. Normal mode. Full 3rd skill-tree. Northern Shelf. 3 enemies = achieve is done. Its about 3-5min.
Imho, if u`re use glitch/bugs for achieves why cant use custom saves?

I'll give you even faster way: we can create a new level 30 character (Select character - create level 30 assassin). Then turn around and use quick travel station. Teleport to any dlc location that has cinematic intro (I used the one with pirates). When you tp use deception and go forward. The cinematic will start and since it is longer than 10 seconds you will get achievement after itm game counts that as your time in deception.
The method by OP is great, but I just couldn't feel the rhythm i guess, I did 1st 2 but on the 3rd seat switch I ruined it every time. Then I saw someone here mentioning getting it when using deception before boss fight into and it hit me that we can use that before any cinematic.

Just tried this method on pc, worked for me today.
I pressed F and E almost instantaneously to activate deception mode and enter vehicle at the same time, and then was very careful with the timing to switch seats just as the camera goes into first person, just like in the video attached in the solution. Will also be posting a video of me doing this shortly...

Thank you, Worldeater! I couldn't seem to get the achievement by just switching seats, but your 'switch seats at 0:00 and then try to exit the vehicle immediately' strategy worked for me on the first attempt!

8th April, and it still works, i was just about to quit the game when i got it, this is what i did, I used a xbox360 controller, don't know if it affects or not, but the thing is, I used the RB + X at the same time, that should be E+F in PC, and as soon as timer goes 0:00 i changed seats once, and it stopped at 0:00 and then got down, It's pure luck, and some skill to push the button as close as 0 possible.

Can't get it to work. Read somewhere it got patched. Can anyone else confirm?

aodes 2 Jan, 2019 @ 4:57pm

it works. the secret is: you shall start your first swap when timer comes close to 0:00, and then just spam the button (got ctrl in my ver.)

the last method, it works for PC as well, i just got it.
