A few tips for passing on “Meat grinder” :
Do not hurry, stay in cover all the time. Enemies in the game do not respawn. Get out of hiding only after making sure, that everything is clean nearby.
Try to shoot in short bursts and in the head.
Do not look out of cover for long periods.. Kill 1-2 enemies, hide, repeat again.
Don't look out of cover, being wounded. Opponents on this difficulty are strong, so it's better to catch your breath first.
Use blindfold shooting. This way you can kill an enemy who is close to you or avoid unnecessary injuries..
Don't forget to issue orders to the squad. They can save you in a critical situation or kill an enemy., which you cannot kill due to critical health..
Use all kinds of pomegranates. Frag Grenades and Sticky Grenades help you deal with large groups of enemies, help smoke them out of hiding. One flashbang can temporarily blind multiple enemies at once.
Finish off lying enemies. This way you will get ammo for both your barrels and grenades., which will be very useful on this difficulty.
Do not try to revive a buddy or send a buddy to do it., as long as there are enough enemies on the battlefield.
