Welcome to the Shellshock 2: Blood Trails Roadmap! I’m happy to report that there are no glitched achievements in this game and that the full 1000 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg can be easily achieved under 10 hours. The minimal number of playthroughs unfortunately is 2 due the achievement Can’t Quit You (Complete the game twice). There are 3 difficulties to play this game and each one unlocks an achievement. Luckily for us the achievements are stackable so I suggest you start playing the game on Hard difficulty.

 

Once you completed the game on Hard you should have all the achievements but two worth a total of 950 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg. Playing the game a second time on Easy will net you the last two achievements within 2 hours of gameplay:

 

Natural Resistance (Complete the game without being killed by an Infected 35 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg )

Can’t Quit You (Complete the game Twice, 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg )

 

Now some general tips for completing the game on Hard:

 

It is nog going to be a breeze but most certainly not as frustrating as for example CoD Veteran. More like CoD Hard on some points in the game.

 

First of all go to settings and adjust the brightness to a level where you can actually see something. I did this halfway through the game after being sick of being killed by Infected/VC who came out of the blue (dark). This made the game a LOT easier as you now can see the enemy coming and can find your way a lot faster without the Infected/VC bothering you.

 

Only try to shoot headshots only as these kill the enemy in 1 or 2 shots where the upper torso of an Infected takes 6 shots. Shooting this way will conserve you a lot of ammo witch you’ll definitely need and net you the Caca Dau achievement (score 15 decapitating head shots) within 3 missions.

 

Make good use of your grenades as you can find them quite often in big numbers. If you’re having trouble in a certain spot where you’re overrun with Infected or VC try to find yourself a bottleneck where you can take out big numbers with grenades. Using the bottleneck method also helps a lot while shooting because you’ll only have to focus on one area. You will be most surely shooting head shots only this way. Find yourself a spot where you can place your back towards a corner or focus your fire on a doorway for instance. This way you can not be attacked in the back

 

Does the killing of a lot enemy not work and do you have the feeling they are spawning indefinitely? They probably are! Sometimes the best way to clear a certain section in the game is to just take a dash towards your objective. Great example is the section on mission 5 where you’ll have to go in the temple after being gassed by the enemy. The enemy will spawn indefinitely here so screw them and just take a wild dash towards the temple. As soon as you hit the top of the stairs you’ll hit a cut scene.

 

In mission 9 after you have reached the tempel (drop the shotgun and pick up the M16) you will climb up some stairs and enter a room with a Gasmask-and-two-blades Infected enemie. Unload your ammo on his head and use the ammo on the ground that way so you'll get the most out of it. That means not picking up any boxes if your current ammo is, let say, 30/67 but wait for the last 30 bullets and then get a box. This area is small, his attack range is big so make good use of the small corridor where you'll face one normal Infected. Unload a clip in his head, run past him into the corridor, kill the Infected and reload. As he comes down the corridor unload another clip and run past him back into the room. This will give you the so much needed time to reload and recover.

 

My last tip is for the last section of level 10. Find yourself a M60 and keep this gun! You might run out of ammo through the level but you will find ammo where you need it the most. That is the last section of this level! Conserve your ammo and only try to shoot headshots otherwise you will be overrun (Bookoo Hostiles here!). Using the bottleneck method works great on this section.

 

Goodluck!

Complete the game on Hard

 

These achievements are stackable but you will have to play the game twice to net the full 1000 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg so i suggest going for Hard difficulty first. This way you can finish all but two Achievements. You will unlock the last two missing achievements (Can't Quite You & Natural Resistance) while playing the game a second time on Easy. For tips on finishing the game on Hard difficulty I refer you to the Roadmap.

See Roadmap for tips. The missions are quite straight forward. Just go from A to B, complete the objectives and you'll complete the levels. I'm not sure if it's going to be worth it to make a walkthrough per level. If you're still having trouble with some missions please check out this thread, some level video walkthroughs have been placed there.

Beat down an enemy

 

See Lots of Bok-Bok.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UPi7fi4=.jpgLots of Bok-Bok 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Beat down 15 enemies

 

Beating down an enemy are the parts where you perform hand to hand combat with an enemy and have to push the right button sequences. Do not worry about this one because it will unlock at the end of your first playthrough or the beginning of your second.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UPlbhr0=.jpgCaca Dau 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Score a decapitating head shot

 

See Caca Dau x 15.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UPz5bUQ=.jpgCaca Dau x 15 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Score 15 decapitating head shots

 

A decapitating headshot is a headshot where you actually see the head "explode". As headshots are the fastests way to take down an enemy this will most certainly unlock on mission 2 or 3.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UP0Zldc=.jpgFire for Effect 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Find and pick up every weapon

 

This achievement will probably unlock on level 7 where you'll pick up the silenced pistol. There are 11 weapons in total. (Not sure if the manchete, Ka Bar knife, grenades and flares count but you will either come across all of these or begin a level with it)

 

Manchete- You will pick this one up in the beginning of level 1, can't miss it.

VC Pistol - First weapon you come across.

US Pistol - You will begin a couple of levels with this weapon.

Revolver - First found in level 3 in the tunnel when you drop down, can be found in more levels.

AK-47 - Found on the first level.

M-16 - Found on the first level.

RPG - Found on the second level where you'll have to defend the bridge on the right side.

VC Rifle - Can be obtained during the second level. Dropped by VC

Shotgun - First found on level "Refuge", in the Spec Ops mansion.

M60 - Found in level "Hunted", right where you start 10 metres in front of you.

Silenced Pistol - Found in level "Captured". In the second builing as soon as you enter.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UP84nGI=.jpgGun Slinger 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Complete a level firing only a pistol

 

I suggest replaying the first level on easy and combine this achievement with the manchete achievement (Cutting a path) and not dying achievement (Take it like a Man). Note! You can not use grenades while going for this achievement, the grenade button sequence in the first mission however will not count as "grenade used".

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UPxTrZc=.jpgTake it Like a Man 40http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Complete a level without dying

 

If you are having trouble on this on medium i suggest replaying the first level on easy. If done so combine it with the Gun Slinger and Cutting a Path achievements. If you get killed while going for this achievement the "Quiting to dashboard quickly" method works just fine.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UP2zVQQ=.jpgNatural Resistance 35http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Complete the game without being killed by an Infected

 

Can be easily obtained during your second playthrough on Easy as it is really hard to die on this difficulty. If you still get killed, the "Quiting to dashboard quickly" method works just fine. Getting killed by a regular VC soldier does not have an influence on this achievement, only getting killed by an Infected does.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UP+SXLE=.jpgHard Boiled 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 3 enemies with one pistol clip

 

Can be obtained during the first level. Just aim for the head and don't reload. Each clip contains 7 bullets so shoot headshots only.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UP5ypCI=.jpgField of Fire 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 5 enemies with one AK47 clip

 

Can be obtained during the first level. Find yourself an AK-47, aim for the head, shoot in short bursts (2 bullets max) and don't reload. Each clip contains 30 bullets so it should not be that hard.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UPvQT9s=.jpgArmy Issue 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 5 enemies with one M16 clip

 

Can be obtained during the first level. Find yourself a M-16 aim for the head, shoot in short bursts (2 bullets max) and don't reload. Each clip contains 30 bullets so it should not be that hard.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UPowt0g=.jpgCook-Off 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 15 enemies with one belt of a non-mounted Heavy Machine Gun

 

You will find the non-mounted M60 for the first time in the level "Hunted". I suggest waiting until you exit the swamp and get attacked by over 20 VC. Pick up some ammo, reload your M60 and fire in short burst to the upper torso or head.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UPgRvv0=.jpgBoom Baby! 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 3 enemies with one rocket or grenade

 

Can be obtained during the second level on the point where you'll have to defend the bridge. On the right side you will find a RPG. Wait for the enemy to bunch up on the middle of the bridge and fire away.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UPnxRm4=.jpgCutting a path 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 15 enemies with the machete

 

I suggest replaying the first level on easy and combine this achievement with the pistol only achievement (Gun Slinger) and not dying achievement (Take it like a Man).

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UPrWUmA=.jpgFree Fire Zone 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill 150 enemies

 

Will come over the course of the game. Will most certainly unlock during the second or third mission.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UPs2qvM=.jpgCan’t Quit You 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Complete the game twice

 

Simply complete the game twice. I suggest playing it on Hard first and finish the game on for the second time on Easy.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/651/UPiIRzI=.jpgSNAFU 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg

Dismember 50 enemies

 

Shooting of the heads, arms or legs will count towards this achievement. Don't pay attention to this because it will come over the course of the game.

I will use this post to let you guys know if and what i have changed about the Roadmap or Achievement Guide.

 

- Changed the approximate amount of time to 1000 from 6 to 7-8.

- Added some tips in the Roadmap for Level 9 and 10.

- Added the suggested possibility of playing the game twice another way.

- Again changed the needed time to get full 1000. It is now 8-10. (I'm really bad in judging these kind of things.)

- Changed to way to play the game twice to Hard on the first time and Easy on the second playthrough as many people prefer this.

- Added the Revolver to the Fire for Effect list.

 

Update:

Added some threads where usefull, mission 5 and 10 for example. Also made some minnor changes for some achievement but nothing really important. (spelling etc.)

 

Update:

Added a link to a video walkthrough thread and changed the layout so it's properly-formatted.

I would probably suggest doing the game on hard first as its not difficult then go through the game on easy for any missed achievements. That way the 2nd play through will be so fast that most people will be able to bear a second play through

 

That is correct but i find it not "rewarding" enough that way. If you finish the game on Medium first and play it on Hard the second time you will be rewarded for every finished level. This kept me motived to keep going. But it can done that way too i agree.

Yeah i guess it takes a bit longer than the 6 hours. I wil change it to 7-8. I think 4 hours of non-stop gaming should net you the medium achievement. The second play through although on hard will go a lot faster as you know where to go and what to do.

 

Hard difficulty is absolutely not Hard like CoD Veteran. It can be challenging on some parts but only if you run out of ammo.

How long is a playthrough on medium? You list 6 hours for all 1000K, that seems a bit short to go through the game twice.

 

Also, how hard is hard? Is it COD:Veteran hard or just a bit challenging?

 

Thanks for all the advice though, I preordered this game, I've heard its not so great though :(

 

It took me about 6 hours to do it on hard on my first and only playthrough so far.

 

It's not really challenging on the whole, I would say hard is like COD's normal. There are a few difficult parts that just turn out really frustrating, I won't spoil those for you though.

 

I would suggest cancelling your pre order and just rent it, it's a really poor game, good idea in principle but it looks and plays very bad.

Would it be an idea to play on easy first, then run through on Hard?

 

This is what i would suggest to do or hard then easy. Personally I wouldn't touch normal as your just making it harder for yourself.

 

If your doing it easy first remember to use only the pistol on the first level and then use the machete on the torture room level 6 (i think), this way it will save you having repeat the 1st level as the roadmap suggests.

Unfortunatly it has already been dispatched. However I got it quite cheap and can always trade it in next week. Besides, my local Blockbuster is the only place to rent and they don't have such a great selection of games.

 

I think I will do easy first and go for the not get killed by an infected achievement.

 

To be honest as long as the games even vaguely playable I will most likely still enjoy it. :)

Is the game out? coz some of yous seem to have played it.

 

anyway is this game worth getting (39.99$ on amazon ....) or is it too boring/easy.

 

i do not want the experience of my life just an enjoyable game.

 

one last thing, does it play like condemend 2 (coz they are both horror games in a way) or is it more like bioshock

Excellent job, but this game really takes around 8-10 hours to get 1000G.

It really is tough on hard mind isn't it. :/

The game is really easy, play it through on Hard first, then run through it the second time on easy and try to go for Natural resistance on the easy difficulty, that way the hooded bosses won't be as hard to kill. Man if Microsoft started checking mygamercard.net, they could see who have illegal copies of the game. The game doesn't get released officially until tomorrow and that is just in Europe. The game is region free. Kinda sucks cause it makes it unfair for achievement seekers because people can get 1000 in the game before the general public.
