macd Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I ran through the DLC and was very careful to always reload if I need to use Praxis or Weapons. I used a Lethal takedown on Burke and after reloading this, I reloaded and made sure to non-lethal him. Still no achievement. I was very, very careful and the only time I may have upset the game would be setting off a Typhoon (the enemy laser guided ones rather than my own) and blowing a mine up using a fire extinguisher. Either way, it's a glitch or its just unfairly described. DLC took me a good long while to go through, and I really cannot be arsed having to repeat a run doing a fairly boring stealth mission again. I want to blow some shit up, but I cannot. I had to run the game twice without killing people for that achievement too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parasectre Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 First time I went through the DLC I didn't get the achievement as I used a gas grenade and an EMP which must've caused it to void (I guess they are weapons afterall, even if they are fairly passive). Luckily I had a save near the end and just loaded it up and did the final few rooms without gassing/EMPing anything and it worked. I find this game suits the stealthy approach even if they do allow you to use guns. It's just a shame the boss fights force gun play on you (except for Burke).

DoRk60 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) just finished this on first attempt. since some guys seem to have problems with it, ill share what i did and did not do. didnt pick up/use any weapons/grenades or praxis kits at all. didnt use lethal takedowns. did use NON-lethal takedowns both undetected and in open combat while beeing shot at. did set off multiple alarms. didnt disarm or set off any traps and made sure no enemies set them off. made sure no explosive barrels went off while beeing shot at. edit: didnt set off any of those typhoon lasertraps achievement popped right before the credits rolled. I dont think this is glitched at all, i guess most failed it due to lethal takedowns, enemies running into mines or maybe by disabling/pickíng up mines. but i might be wrong ofc. good luck.

macd Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I dont think this is glitched at all, i guess most failed it due to ... enemies running into mines good luck. I really hope thats not it. I'm most of the way through a second runa t this and I think I set of some flashbang mines early, and some enemies definitely appeared stunned. I really hope that won't cause me to have to do this a third time. I wouldn't mind if the DLC was great fun but it's only okay and being so limited in how I play is making it much less fun.

DoRk60 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Well i dont know for certain, pls post if it worked anyways for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parasectre Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 @macd As long as you didn't plant the mines I would think you should be ok. I'd hope the game could differentiate between weapons the player uses and those which are already in place. But I guess you'll find out in the end. Good luck.

macd Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I didn't finish my run but if it doesn't pop it would suggest that setting off enemy mines that affect enemies will stop this. On your reload from getting all the above did you still carry/ equip your gun ? if you equipped it that counts as using. I may have done that the first time actually. I had my gun out a lot (I really like the animation so did it a fair few times.) I probably had it out at a reload. If that does count as actually using the weapon, that is proper stupid. Either way not picking up a gun this time. Also not using any hack software (didn't last time either) or any energy recharge items (used a few previously).

DoRk60 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Also not using any hack software (didn't last time either) or any energy recharge items (used a few previously). I used hacksoftware and energybars, pils etc., so that should make no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macd Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Good news, Factory Zero will unlock even if you set off enemy mines. Really not sure what messed my first run. I think it might be that reloading a save where you have a gun out thing. Anyway conditions for me there: No guns picked up No lethal takedowns Lots of non-Lethal takedowns Mines set off (the EMP ones that reset your HUD) No items used - no recharge bars, no software items Lots of alarms set off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.butler1 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I did pick up a praxis kit once but never used it, could that have been the reason it didn't pop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F TANK Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Im just getting into the dlc again, and if what others said about kill-takedowns qualifying the achievement, there was one thing I noticed that may throw it off if this is the case. I think in the part when you go outside of the ship deck, there was 1 guy who I'm positive I did a silent takedown on, but when I moved his body I noticed it showed the skull instead of the 'zzz' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rabbit Suit Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Oh, hell. I picked up a weapon to sell in hopes for more protein bars. Did I void the achievement already? Seems like the only people that got it in this topic never touched a weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Kyuss Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Oh, hell. I picked up a weapon to sell in hopes for more protein bars. Did I void the achievement already? No, picking up weapons/grenades won't void the achievement. It only becomes void if you actually use the weapon, you're free to pick them up and sell them as much as you want.

Tsaako Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I was using a video walkthrough for it and didn't get it. I think I may of fired a weapon messing around but I was sure I had saved before it then reloaded. I then used an energy bar somewhere down the line, so I'm thinking that is why I didn't get the achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_tony Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Got this last night on my first attempt. For the most part, I was following this video ([ame= ] [/ame]), although I ended up getting detected a lot. This person is a total ninja. To try and help others, this is what I did: Didn't pick up any weapons, grenades or praxis kits Only used non-lethal takedowns Didn't disarm any mines but triggered a few Used multiple energy bars/packs Was in hostile state many times (also shot many times) Set off multiple alarms Played on "tell me a story" difficulty Didn't use any health items (but did pick them up) Didn't give the morphine pack to the patient* * Mild Spoilers Not seen anyone mention this but when you meet Dr Kavanagh (the same room where you get the Learn'd Scholar achievement) you can give the Hyron drone-style patient a morphine overdose to ease their suffering. I didn't do this as I wasn't sure if it would count as a weapon. Hope this helps people narrow down what's causing them problems. The YouTube video I posted really helped me, I'd recommend following that if you're having trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonySki Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Just a bit of my 2 cents. at first I didn't get the achievement. then I read about the mines thing so I loaded an earlier save before I got those mines. ran through the rest of the game and got it. I believe there are 2 reasons I didn't get it my first time through. 1, enemies through grenades at me. maybe that counted? 2, when you eliminate Burke the robots in the room explode. maybe one of those killed the soldiers by it? but I got it anyway. time to play through this again with stealth, a shotgun and typhoon.

Eleriel Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I got it yesterday. I picked up the golden revolver, and dropped it a few seconds later in the vent (I just did it to spite Burke more than anything)... only other thing I picked up was a bottle of alcohol (just because). I may have done a lethal takedown... the reason I'm not sure is because it was during the whole gassing incident. I wanted to save everyone, but getting the extinguisher into the vent got me killed over and over and over, and it's all a blur now. I can imagine the game counting the armblades as weapons for the "no Praxis kits, weapons, or explosives." annoying thou it would be. I did throw one or two guys overboard on the ship though... so I don't think it matters if you kill an enemy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
