When you Skulljack/Skullmine ALL 4 different ADVENT soldier types listed below you will get the 'Brutal Collection' Achievement. The hacking outcome does not matter.

Stun Lancer (unit with the sword)
Shieldbearer (unit with white armor)
Trooper
You cannot rely on the same 4-6 soldiers for every mission. Even if you keep them alive they will eventually get wounded and some wounds can take a long time to heal. Look to have a roster of between 10-12 veteran soldiers by using the early missions to give everyone in your squad experience and a specialisation.
At the 'Customisation' menu go to 'Character Info' menu and enter the following names (without the quotes) to unlock the corresponding hero. These cheats will only work in the Single-Player campaign and disables the ability to earn Achievements, they also remove ALL your previous soldiers' attributes. Note: Beaglerush must be put into the nickname field instead of the First and Last name like the other two.
Beaglerush (Grenadier):
Enter 'Beaglerush' (nickname).
Peter Van Hoorn (Assault Build Ranger Colonel):
Enter 'Peter Van Hoorn'
Sid Meier (Psi Operative Magnus):
Enter 'Sid Meier'
