Introduction: Hello and welcome to my first achievement guide for a game that is hated by so many for reasons I don’t understand. Blackwater is a fps rail game which means you can’t control where you walk to. However I think that this adds to the excitement of having to quickly take everyone out and hide behind imaginary boxes in my room and keeping my hand in the shape of a pistol to keep the spirit of the game. If you calibrate your Kinect and make sure that have enough room then this game can be really fun. A controller can also be used instead of Kinect but then there is no forced rolling behind cover in your room.

 

Note- This game has collectables for you to shoot at while shooting the hundreds of enemies. However they are all very easy to spot and you should have them all by the end of your playthroughs. So just keep an open eye and these are simple. There is a total of 114 collectables to shoot.

Step 1: Easy Difficulty

For this playthrough you should start off with the tutorial and then get started with the game and learn how it plays. In this game cover is your best friend, so make sure to always crouch in cover and shoot from there. Going through this playthrough you will get several other achievements and will get about 240G.

Step 2: Normal Difficulty

During this playthrough you will get the rest of your killing achievements and maybe the rest of your collectables depending on how much care you have taken in collecting them.

The harder difficulties can be very challenging using Kinect and very tiring. On this playthrough I used Kinect which made it hard but not impossible. After you have done this playthrough you should be on about 390G.

 

Step 3: Hard Difficulty

This play through is going to be the one that give you the least Gamerscore and it’s going to be the hardest. However if you have completed the other play difficulties then you will be getting good at the game and you will know what to do and where to aim. I tried this difficulty using my Kinect but it was really hard to stay in cover all the time. So I decided to use a control for this and it’s actually very easy and I did this play through in 2 hours and you will finish it on 450G.

 

Step 4: Competitive maps

This will be quite a short step but very boring. You will need to play all 3 maps of the competitive arenas and do it with 8 people. These missions will take you about 10 minutes each making it a total of 30 minutes. Doing these missions will give you a very crazy 10G taking you to a total of about 460G.

 

Step 5: Hardcore Grinding

Well this is the part where if you are already suffering from body twitches or mental breakdowns then you should stop here and go no further. Or however if you are still pumped and ready for more then you need to go and complete the campaign probably another 10+ times to get to level 56. This is probably going to take you about 15-30 hours to do this so make sure to be prepared. If you are crazy and manage to do this then it will give you some crazy G and take you up to about 740G.

 

Step 6: Clean Up

The rest of the achievements that you will be going for now should be fairly short and fairly easy. If don’t have all the QTE’s then refer to the “Tired Yet?” achievement for places to boost. You will also be getting the “Bravo” achievement and if you haven’t already then you will need to go back onto certain levels to take the different paths to get you the “Recon Master” achievement.

 

Conclusion: So yeah this game is quite a long 1000G and the speech that gets repeated could get really stale and turn you insane. If there are any missions that are impossible for you then try using a control as it’s easier but I really hope this guide can help you and good luck

You will get this one after completing the next 2 arenas which are:

-Souq and Hotel.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/-U9Hwg==.jpgRescue Dila10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete Mission 5

 

This achievement will pop after completing 3 more combat arenas and these are:

-Limbano’s Army, Limbano’s Estate and Dila’s Escape.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/-25Odw==.jpgThe Long Way Back20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete Mission 6

 

You will unlock this final mission achievement after completing the last 3 combat arenas:

-Crash, Bazaar and Last Dash.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/-o625A==.jpgOver Easy20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete all missions on Easy

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/-ElaeQ==.jpgNothing's Too Hard60 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete all missions on Hard

 

For some this could be very hard but if you stay in cover and take out enemies as fast as possible then this is going to be very easy. If you are a mad man and can jump around your room all day without collapsing to the ground like me then you will be able to do this on Kinect. However playthroughs on Kinect take a lot longer than using a controller and you will die a lot more times. I completed this playthrough and my normal playthrough using a controller and they took me about 2 hours each.

When you are playing as the characters with the machine guns you should change to your pistol every time as its quick shooting, quick reloading and very powerful.

If you follow these tips and keep calm while playing then this playthrough should be as easy as the others.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/--e3uA==.jpgTight-Aim10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngGet 50 headshots

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/-da+DQ==.jpgSir, You Forgot Your Hat20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngGet 200 headshots

 

This achievement will come very quickly and most likely within your first play through. Just make sure you aim near the head and the auto aim will do the rest.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/-DZGng==.jpgHere, Hold This…10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngGet 50 grenade kills

 

See “Grenade!”

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/+ZStZw==.jpgGrenade!20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngGet 200 grenade kills

 

To throw a grenade with Kinect you must raise one as though you are going to throw the grenade and use your other arm to aim where the grenade is going to go. If you do accidentally get into the grenade throwing aimer then slowly lower your throwing arm till the normal reticle.

To throw a grenade using control simply aim the reticle and press:lbbut:.

This may or may not come from your first play through depending on how much you use the grenade but not to worry as you have two more to go and this will probably pop up somewhere in your second play though.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/+HRV9A==.jpgHat-Trick5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngKill 3 enemies with one grenade

 

 

There are many times you can get this and it will most likely pop without even trying. There are always groups of enemies throughout the whole game and they are always standing in a group so make sure to throw your grenade in the right place and boom this achievement is yours.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/+lVcQQ==.jpgNo Mercenaries10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngKill 5 Foreign Fighters

 

See ”Best in Town”

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPzaYPU=.jpgBest in Town60 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngKill all 6 Foreign Fighters on each difficulty

 

There are a total of 18 of these foreign fighters and you can find these amongst other enemies and they are wearing white clothing so you know which is which. The 6 that you find on a difficulty will not be in the same place as another difficulty. As long as you shoot everything and everyone then this achievement won’t be that bad.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UP06mGY=.jpgCut the Chatter10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngFind 5 Death Radios

See “Off the Chatter”

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UP8bkdM=.jpgOff the Air20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngFind all Death Radios

 

There are a total of 32 of these to find and there are very easy to spot because they are a bright red colour. Usually I would spot these after I have moved out of an area so make sure make a note of where it was if that happens to you.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UP77aUA=.jpgFigure It Out10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngFind 5 Limbano Lions

 

See “Lion’s Den”

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPtZgrk=.jpgLion's Den20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngFind all Limbano Lions

 

 

There are again a total of 32 of these to find throughout the game and they are a lion sat down and it will be shining gold so it's easy to spot. These can seem hard to find at first but after playing through a couple of time it's very easy to get them all.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPq5eio=.jpgPropaganda10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngFind 5 Graffiti

 

See “Stop this madness”

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPiYc58=.jpgStop This Madness20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngFind all Graffiti

 

And finally there are 32 of these graffiti boards for you to find taking it to a total of 114 collectables to find. These are always hung up on walls and they are an orange colour. When you go into a room make sure to look behind boxes and doors for these. Also in the car scenes there are one or two of these that you have to shoot.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPl4iww=.jpgBravo!20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngGet over 100% accuracy in a combat arena

 

Get over 100% accuracy in a combat arena

This achievement is at all as hard as it seems. For this achievement you want to play any mission on the campaign and only use your pistol. This can be done on either Kinect or controller but I recommend using a control as it’s easy to aim at targets and stay in cover without seriously straining yourself. Just take your time and this achievement will be yours.

To change to your pistol on Kinect you have to point your arm out to the side and it will change weapon. To change weapon on controller you have to press the:ybut: button.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPpfnwI=.jpgPlan B5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngGet 5 kills with the pistol

 

 

See “Quick Draw”

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPu-Z5E=.jpgQuick Draw20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngGet 200 kills with the pistol

To change to your pistol on Kinect you have to point your arm out to the side and it will change weapon. To change weapon on controller you have to press the :ybut: button.

This achievement won’t come naturally to most because you don’t really use your pistol that much.

However if you use your pistol throughout a few missions all the way through then you should have this achievement very quickly.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPvAe3Y=.jpgGoing Pro10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngGet Pro time in a combat arena

 

This achievement requires you to earn a gold medal in one of the combat arenas. At first you may find this hard to get but replaying a mission several times can make you good at the mission and this achievement should follow.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UP5ikI8=.jpgElite Club5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngGet Veteran time in a combat arena

 

To get this achievement you have to earn a silver medal on a mission and this isn’t overly challenging. If you get a gold medal then you will not get this achievement. You have to earn silver. You will most likely get this achievement while going for the gold medal.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UP+CaBw=.jpgThis Ain't Your Daddy's Shotgun!20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngKill 6 enemies with the shotgun without reloading

On almost every mission you will play as the character Smash who runs through a building with a shotgun shooting everything. If you take it slow and only use one shell for one enemy and make sure that you don’t reload then you will bag yourself an easy 20G.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UP2jYak=.jpgWhat Time? Can't Tell.40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngGet at least 7,000 points in a combat arena

For a mission which earns you lots of points I would use the last mission and you can get around 4000 on a bad go. You can increase your score on a mission by doing different things and these will get you certain points:

Multi-kill – 25

Kill streak – 25

Headshot – 5

Causing an enemy to flee – 100

Destroying an enemy vehicle – 50

Shooting a collectable – 25

Throughout a mission try your best to do as many of these as possible and on the last mission there is also 2 helicopters to shoot down which give you 100 points each.

Also there are officers that find and if you shoot one of them then it causes the other enemies to flee giving you 100 points a person.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UP7IUFw=.jpgNo Score in Sight5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngGet less than 2,000 points in a combat arena

 

Since you will be new to the game this will most likely be your first achievement. If however you are a tank at this game and find it hard to do bad then take a long time on a mission and get a bad accuracy and you will easily get this achievement.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UP8oqM8=.jpgFoot First5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete 100 kick quick-time events

 

While playing as smash there will be doors to kick and sometimes an enemy will charge at you and you can kick them as well. There are many time during the game that you have to doors and people so this will come naturally during your second playthrough.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UP0JoXo=.jpgJumping Jack5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete 100 jump quick-time events

 

Playing as any character there is usually a QTE where you will have to jump over a wall or jump up to a window. Since this happens to every character this achievement will come naturally during your second playthrough.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPzpWek=.jpgDon't Cross This Line10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngKill 25 melee attackers before they strike

 

Again when you are playing as Smash in some rooms a person will run towards you and start hitting you. These are the people that you can kick but make sure to shoot them as they are running towards you. This is easiest using a controller because the shooting is instant.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPlLshA=.jpgRecon Recruit10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngDiscover all paths in a combat arena

 

During a mission you will come to decision marked out by a red marker. On a mission simply choose to go one way then restart the mission and go the other way. This achievement can be done on tutorial and it is easiest on there as there is only 1 decision which is at the end of the level.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPirSoM=.jpgRecon Expert20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngDiscover 50% of the paths in all combat arenas

During each mission you will be able to choose which path you want to take and this achievement requires you to take half of every path in the game. Going through my first playthrough I failed a few missions and when I went back through it I went through a different path and this achievement unlocked for me right at the end of my first playthrough.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPqKQzY=.jpgRecon Master60 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngDiscover ALL of the paths in the game

 

This achievement is a pain and can take you a lot of tries. In a mission you will come to decisions to either go one way or the other and for this achievement you need to go every way. Playing through the game going for level 56 will get you a lot of these but if you don’t have them all then load a mission, die and then look at the map to see which routes you need to find. To get different routes you have to blow up red barrels to get new paths or miss quick time events which makes you fall to another area.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPtqu6U=.jpgBrought to You By...5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngWatch the credits from beginning to end

You can wait till the end of the game to get this achievement or if you are really eager for the easy G then go to the options on the main menu and press credits. Simply watch these from start to finish unlocking your achievement. The credits are only 2 minutes long so it won’t kill you with boredom.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPhNr6s=.jpgNothing Thrown5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete a combat arena without using grenades

This is very simple just don’t throw a grenade during one of the combat arenas.

To throw a grenade with Kinect you must raise one as though you are going to throw the grenade and use your other arm to aim where the grenade is going to go. If you do accidentally get into the grenade throwing aim then slowly lower your throwing arm till the normal reticle.

To throw a grenade using control simply aim the reticle and press:lbbut:. So refrain from doing either of these and the achievement is yours.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPmtVzg=.jpgThe Red Barrel5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngBlow up 50 red barrels

 

You will find these Scattered randomly throughout the game and you can either shoot them or throw a grenade at them to make them explode. There are quite a lot of these in the game so you will most likely get this after your first play through.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPoTuvk=.jpgRecruit5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete the training map

 

This will most likely be your first achievement in Blackwater and it is recommended that you do the tutorial before you start the game. To find the tutorial select the quick play menu and then select the training map. Complete this short mission and the achievement is yours.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPgys0w=.jpgParty Time5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete a competition map with 8 players

 

See “After Party”

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPnSS98=.jpgAfter Party5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete all competition maps with 8 players

On the main menu there is an option to play competition maps and within this there are 3 different missions that you can choose to play. Since you most likely won’t actually have 8 people playing this game with you I recommend you play it on controller and choose 8 people. Now you have to sit there and press :abut: every time the player dies. This is very boring and will most likely take you about 30 minutes to complete all 3 missions.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPxwoCY=.jpgBlackwater Operator60 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngReach experience level 56

 

This is one of the game’s most time consuming achievements and is going to take many hours to unlock this one. When you get to level 56 you will also unlock the overwatch achievement for fully upgrading eddi. For a mission which earns you lots of points I would use the last mission and you can get around 4000 a go. You can increase your score on a mission by doing different things and these will get you certain points:

Multi-kill – 25

Kill streak – 25

Headshot – 5

Causing an enemy to flee – 100

Destroying an enemy vehicle – 50

Shooting a collectable – 25

Throughout a mission try your best to do as many of these as possible and on the last mission there is also 2 helicopters to shoot down which give you 100 points each.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UP2QWLU=.jpgThe Right Person60 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngFully upgrade Baird

 

This is one of the game’s most time consuming achievements and is going to take many hours to unlock this one. You will unlock the final upgrade for Baird at level 51 which is the first fully upgraded achievement you will get.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UP+xUQA=.jpgSpray and Pray40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngFully upgrade Devon

 

This is one of the game’s most time consuming achievements and is going to take many hours to unlock this one. The final upgrade for Devon is unlocked when achieving level 54.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPhHqR4=.jpgRiding Shotgun60 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngFully upgrade Smash

 

This is one of the game’s most time consuming achievements and is going to take many hours to unlock this one. This achievement will unlock once you reach level 55 making it the second most time consuming achievement on this game.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPmnUY0=.jpgOverwatch60 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngFully upgrade Eddi

 

This is one of the game’s most time consuming achievements and is going to take many hours to unlock this one. This will most likely be the last achievement on the game for you and this requires you to get to level 56 but if you do this then you unlock the Blackwater Operator achievement too and get a nice 120G

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPuGWDg=.jpgTired Yet?60 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete 1,000 quick-time events

 

Complete 1,000 quick-time events

In this game there is quick-time events in which you must either do a certain action on Kinect or press :abut: on the controller. Going through the campaign you will get about 200 of these so it may take a bit of grinding. If you are looking for a mission with a lot of them on then I recommend mission 4, part 2 – the hotel. There are 5 QTE’s to do at the beginning of the mission and lots of door kicking and jumping throughout the rest of the mission.

Just wanted to add a few bits:

 

I found that each of the 6 fighter where in the same place on all of the difficulties for me, whereas you say they are in different places.

 

Also the 'Spray and Pray' achievement is meant to unlock at level 54 but it infact it unlocks at level 55 for some reason. This has a knock on effect so the 'Riding Shotgun' achievement unlocks at 56 instead of 55 and the 'Overwatch' achievement unlocks at what would be '57' and not at 56 ('Blackwater Operator' unlock at the same time as the 'Overwatch' achievement)

 

If you change them bits that would be great :)

You have the Guide incorrect. You have it listed as Online: 0 (0:gsicon:), where it should read Online: 10 (10:gsicon:) because the following require online:

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPgys0w=.jpgParty Time5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete a competition map with 8 players

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1993/UPnSS98=.jpgAfter Party5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.pngComplete all competition maps with 8 players

 

 

Since you can't play with 8 people on the same 360, it has to be done online.

 

Please fix this. I almost bought this until I read all the Achievements further.:cool:
