How to get all trophies/achievements under control

Management has a wide variety of achievements/trophies for players to collect. Some will come naturally through the main story of the game. This includes completing main story missions, gaining certain abilities, and obtaining a service weapon. Other achievements/trophies will require more effort.

Players should start alerting and countermeasures early so it doesn't turn into a big grind. Players will also want to mark where all the hidden locations are in the game so that they don't have to go through the entire map after completing the game. For anyone asking, “Do facilitation function block achievements/trophies?” take comfort in the knowledge that you don't.
