Mission Achievements

Destroy the Radar Emplacement

 

The first mission lands you on Skirinka Island, where you must destroy a PLA early warning network. This mission has fairly light resistance, due to the fact that they aren’t expecting you.

 

When you start off, head up the hill to your Southwest and use the trees as cover. There will be a couple of enemies at the top using the sandbags as cover. Once they are taken care of, your objective will be just down the hill. Clear out the soldiers defending it, and walk down the hill to the radar emplacement. Hold :bbut: and select ‘Detonator’. Use :rtbut: to throw it down. Get a safe distance away and press :rtbut: to detonate the explosive, and the achievement will unlock.

Disable the SAM Sites

 

This is a night operation, so stealth is key.. or at least for as long as you can maintain it. Use the waypoints, to guide yourself along to your objective. You have to eliminate anti-air and anti-ship defenses along the western side of the island. Follow the waypoints to your first target, an anti-ship site near a small outpost. Your target is a truck with missiles loaded onto the back. Once you have sight of it, open your map with :back: and look south of the truck. There is a small house you can take cover in and wait for instructions. If you have managed to get this far without being spotted, you will be notified that Saber Three will provide a diversion for the men guarding the truck. Use the window in the 2nd story of the house to watch for them to leave the site, allowing you to go In undetected. Use your detonation charges to destroy the truck, then head back to the house and wait for instructions. If you can’t find the house, see “Ghost Ops” for a location on the map.

 

Next you will have to travel northwest to an anti-air site. HQ also grants you permission to call in artillery strikes. You can do this two ways:

 

-- If you haven’t been spotted, try and maintain your stealth, and head towards the Northwest. Use your map to look for enemy patrols that are wandering the nearby outpost and the destroyed truck. If your team spots a gunship, click :ls: to go prone and avoid being spotted. Use your map from there to track its movements. Keep heading North until you are parallel with your next objective. From there, start heading west, and you should be near your objective. If you travelled far enough north, you should be almost above your objective. Take out your binoculars to get a better view and call in the artillery strike on the AA site. If done correctly, you should kill all the soldiers around it as well. Another waypoint will pop up on your map, follow it to finish the mission.

 

-- If you have been spotted, you are going to have to fight your way to the northwest and take out the AA. First you have to kill the PLA soldiers that are stationed at an outpost to the west of the destroyed truck. You may use your artillery here to clear out all the soldiers and most of the outpost itself. Keep following waypoints and fighting your way up the hill. You will eventually reach the AA at the top of the hill after some fighting. Use your demolition charge on this site as well. Another waypoint will pop up on your map, follow it to finish the mission.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/rescue-1.jpg Heroic Rescue - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Rescue the hostages

 

You have to rescue 4 POWs from PLA Territory, navigate them around mountainous terrain, and then clear hostiles at a compound. There, you wait for heli extraction. Right when you start walking down the hill to rescue the POWs, there is a sniper team to your right, they are in a small house. The waypoint leads you right to them at the beginning of the mission. Just take them out and search one of their bodies. The gun you’re looking for is a secondary weapon, called the QBU88.

 

An easy way to get past this level in good shape is to avoid the PLA completely until you get to the compound, where you have no choice but to fight. Use the terrain to your advantage, stay up high. After you aid the POWs, PLA patrols will frequently attack you, regardless of whether or not you managed to evade the first patrol that arrives by helicopter. It is important that you don't leave them in one spot, but have them constantly following you, or moving up. This is easier with 1 or 2 friends helping you as they can watch your back while you keep moving up.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/ruggle-1.jpg Uphill Struggle - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Eliminate the PLA mortar site.

 

This mission can be very difficult, but can be made easier if you listen to what your HQ reports to you. At the beginning of the level, they will tell you that there is an overwatch position where you can call in mortar strikes on AT gunners who are waiting for your tanks to come over the hill.

 

Once they are dealt with, let your tanks move up and clear out the enemy APCs. These things will rip you apart if you aren't careful. Soon, you should get the OK to move up. If you still have your jeep from the beginning of the level, use it to move ahead of your tanks and clear out AT positions at the next checkpoint. Eliminate as many as you can, but don't try to kill everyone here. When your tanks move up, do the same. Travel down the road and you should reach another position with AT gunners waiting for you. Clear them out. As long as you prioritized on taking out the AT and keeping all your tanks alive, you should be awarded with the Keep 'em Rolling achievement.

 

You should get another transmission from HQ explaining that there is heavy mortar fire in the next valley over. There is a mortar site located in a destroyed monastery on top of a large hill. There are a LOT of soldiers defending the hill. Air support makes this a lot easier, but they can't move in until you clear out AAA in the valley. There are 2 AAA vehicles you must destroy, and there are some PLA soldiers defending them. Take them out, and look around for any kind of missile launcher to destroy the AAA. There should be a Queen Bee in a pile of crates in the area, do some searching.

 

Once you have accomplished this, two ally gunships will clear all the resistance on the hill, leaving it wide open for you to move in. There is still 1 turret emplacement guarding the hill that I know of. The rest is up to you and your squad. Move through the monastery and clear out the mortar site. Take it slowly, and be sure to watch every direction. They have the area surrounded. Your mission should soon be completed, and you will unlock the achievement.

Bonus Objective Achievements

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/ndtour-1.jpg Skirinka Island Tour - 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Find the PLA helicopter and fly it around Skirinka Island in Dragon Rising

 

The Helicopter is located on the western side of the island, on a beach. It is located right next to the secondary objective where you can destroy SAM launcher sites. Clear out the soldiers that are defending the SAM, or they’re going to shoot you down if you attempt to take off. The chopper controls are really awkward, try changing the :ls: // :rs: controls in the menu. Pressing to activate the auto-hover helps as well. When you do get the controls down, do complete circle around the island. Try to stay above land, not water. Also, look out for the AA that is stationed at the north end of the island, near the Lighthouse. These will take you down really fast. I cut a corner here to avoid the AA, and I still unlocked the achievement. It will take you some trying, so be patient and don’t give up on it.

Eliminate the PLA Commander in Blinding The Dragon

 

Calling artillery on the officer’s location is pretty much a guarantee he’ll die.

Destroy the PLA APC at the top of the beach in United We Stand

 

The APC may be destroyed before you get here. Just restart the mission.

Destroy the fleeing PLA transport helicopter in Eagle Offense

 

This is right near where you spawn. Double-check with your map.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/hicker-1.jpg Hitchhiker - 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Destroy the PLA armored units around the ghost village in Powder Trail

 

After you discover the crashed helicopter, there will be a nearby village that the pilots have been spotted in. You have to clear out this village and get the pilots out. There are 2 APCs you must destroy to unlock this achievement. It will also make your exit go a lot smoother. You are equipped with a rocket launcher, which makes this easier. APCs have the least protection at the rear, so aim and fire there. If you can’t behind it, hit it in the side, but still try to aim towards the rear. Once you have destroyed both, the achievement will unlock.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/e_fire-1.jpg Fuel The Fire - 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Destroy all of the PLA fuel trucks in Hip Shot

 

The PLA Fuel trucks are located inside the Fuel Depot. There are 4 or 5 of them, you have to be somewhat quick about this as they will drive away. Move to the shack where you wait for Saber Three’s diversion. (Your first objective) Chances are you will be spotted on the way in the depot, so move in quickly and have your squad cover you as you get closer to the trucks. Use your detonation charges on the trucks, it will take a few to destroy them all. After you destroy the last one, the achievement will unlock.

Eliminate the remaining troops on the second line with one mortar barrage in Bleeding Edge

Use your map, and just follow the road. When you get a call from HQ, you should be standing around where the bottom box is located. You should also receive a checkpoint when you are in this area, so reload your checkpoint if you don't get it the first time.

All hostages must survive in Looking for Lois

Look at the tips I’ve mentioned in the “Heroic Rescue” description for help.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/olling-1.jpg Keep ‘em Rolling - 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Ensure all of the Abrams reach the supporting fire position in Trumpet's Sound

Take priority over the Anti-Tank Gunners, let your tanks back you up once you’ve killed them. This will unlock when your objective changes to taking out the mortar site. It would also help if you kept your jeep alive for most of this, as it is a hell of a distance to walk. See “Uphill Struggle” for more information. Follow the guide there, and it should help you get it.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/_stone-1.jpg Two Birds, One Stone - 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Eliminate Han and the radio station with one JDAM in Decapitation

This is pretty easy to get, but it does take patience. You need to progress through Mission 10 while remaining hidden from PLA soldiers. What I would recommend is listen to your HQ’s instructions, stay low, and use your map constantly to keep track of PLA patrols. When I did this, I waited for General Han to arrive at the radio station, then ran up the large hill that covers the entire area. I brought up my Artillery/Airstrike menu, then placed the designator right in the middle of the area where he and the radio station were located. I believe you have to wait for HQ to give you the OK to use the JDAM.

Pilot an MH-60S safely to the designated landing zone in Dragon Fury

Once you have taken care of the AA in the village, you should notice a helicopter that has touched down behind it. The landing zone is an empty road designated by purple smoke. The waypoints should lead you there, but if you just want make a beeline for the smoke, look for the grid co-ordinate 16J X5Y4 on your map. Once you land safely, the achievement will unlock.

Kill or incapicate 100 enemies.

You should get this before the end of your first playthrough, don’t worry about not having enough. You can keep track of how many kills you have in the ‘Extras’ menu, under Stats. You can also view your kills in an online lobby. These can also be done in online games.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/_metal-1.jpg Scrap Metal - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill an enemy vehicle with an AT weapon.

This can be accomplished at the beginning of the fourth mission, Eagle Offense. You will start the mission with a rocket launcher. Move to the southeast, towards your objective. You should notice your objective is to eliminate PLA armor, so move up and get closer to your target. Check your map with , and look to the southeast near your objective, the (1) on your map. There is a hill right near it you can use to your advantage. Once you are close, take out your Rocket launcher and peek over the hill. Aim at the side of one of the tanks, but towards the rear of it. That’s where it has the least armor. At the most, it should take two rockets.

Alternatively, you can just boost this online with a friend in a player match if you are having difficulty.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/_skies-1.jpg Clear Skies - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill an enemy vehicle using an AA weapon.

A great opportunity to do this is on Mission 4, Eagle Offense. After you take the control tower in the airfield, you will have to start defending the tower from APCs. After you take out a couple of them, HQ will radio in to tell you a PLA gunship is preventing you from receiving air support, and you need to take it out. There is a SAM launcher inside a pile of crates on the ground floor inside the control tower. Simply hold :ltbut: and wait for it to lock on. (A diamond shape will overlap the aiming reticle once it is.) Be mindful there are still APCs shooting at you, so find somewhere safe before you start aiming.

Kill an enemy with a helicopter without using its weapons.

 

There are only a couple of levels you get to fly a helicopter, Mission 1 - Dragon Rising, and Mission 11 – Dragon Fury. The chopper in the first mission is located on the western side of the island, on a beach next to a secondary objective. I recommend you clear out the nearby soldiers before attempting to take off. On Mission 11, its hard to miss the chopper. There will be one on the ground waiting for you after clearing out the AA in the village.

 

The chopper controls are pretty backwards compared to the majority of other games. You can’t configure the chopper controls to exactly how you want them, but you can change the :ls: // :rs: controls. (ex. Normal > Legacy, Normal > Southpaw.) Once you get the hang of the chopper, try to find a group of soldiers and crash into them. If you fail, there is a checkpoint on Mission 11 before you get into the chopper, so keep trying.

 

If these don’t work for you, this is probably the easiest way. First, get a friend or boosting partner to help you. Start up a player match over Live, and find a level with helicopter spawns. I’m sure most do. Simply get in, but don’t take off. Get your partner to walk straight into the blade rotor on the tail of the helicopter. He should turn into mist, and the achievement will pop.

Kill an enemy vehicle with an AT Mine

 

This is best done online in a player match with a friend. Start up an online match with a friend, and pick an engineer class. Pick a road, and lay down a few mines. Make sure they are AT Mines, and not AP Mines. Let your friend drive over them, he should explode and you should have an achievement.

 

 

Misc. Achievements

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/d_rain-1.jpg Hard Rain - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Call in your first artillery barrage.

You will unlock this during the 1st mission, after you destroy the radar emplacement. Press :ybut: to bring up the menu, then choose Artillery > Howitzer > Explosion Type > Fire for effect.

 

If you are playing online with other players but you aren’t the team leader, you won’t get the achievement if someone else calls in the artillery.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/nd_awe-1.jpg Shock and Awe - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Call in your first air strike.

 

You will unlock this during the 4th mission, after you capture the control tower in the airfield. HQ will notify you of incoming enemy APCs, and will grant you the ability to call in air strikes on them. I would recommend being a safe distance away when calling these, as the APCs can rip you apart very quickly. Bring up the menu using :ybut: , and choose the corresponding commands to call in the airstrike.

 

If you are playing online with other players but you aren’t the team leader, you won’t get the achievement if someone else calls in the air strike.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/_hands-1.jpgUnbloodied Hands - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Complete a mission without directly killing anyone yourself.

 

You will have to use your squad to do this. Use the :rbbut: to command your squad to move up, flank, or directly attack hostiles. This can be made even easier if you use :back: to bring up the map and direct your squad from there. You can do this without any trouble on the first level, as there are only about 20-25 enemies. You can do this without any trouble on the first level, as there are fewer enemies, and it is the relatively shortest.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/hed_up-1.jpgAll Patched Up - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Apply field dressing to a friend in co-op

 

In a co-op game, look for a friend who is injured. If his name above his character is yellow or orange, that means he has been injured and is bleeding out. Hold :bbut: and choose ‘Field Dressing’. Face your friend and hold :rtbut: to begin healing him. A yellow circle will appear, then start to deplete as you heal him. If you are playing as a medic in an online co-op game, using a syringe will not unlock this achievement.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/461/florence_nightingale-1.jpgFlorence Nightingale Award - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Apply the field dressing to other wounded soldiers 20 times.

 

Pretty simple, but will take a little bit of time. To get this quickly, you could always pull out your pistol shoot a squadmate once in the leg or arm, and proceed to heal him.In contrast to ‘All Patched Up’, being a medic in an online co-op game DOES count towards this.

Alot more helpful guide. Just fill in the blanks and do a road map and it should be done.

 

Just to let you know that I got the 'Low Blow' achievement on the bonus campaign mission Stronghold, and I just followed this video:
