Single Player Achievements

 

VERY USEFUL TIP!!! : During the single player campaign, the cornering trick can be very helpful to take out enemies and avoid damage, especially on the brutal difficutly. Position yourself on the side of a crate or wall or something solid so that an enemies bullets can't hit you, but you can still lock them in your reticle. As long as the enemy is in your sights, you can fire and hit it, regardless of whether or not your gun is behind cover. Use this to aim for headshots and enemies in the open to conserve ammo.

 

Another quick tip is to not rely on ONLY the glaive, or ONLY your guns. Use both of them where you see necessary. The glaive is powerful when used right, but isn't exactly rapid firing. Use the power throw to one shot kill enemies behind cover when they pop out, or use the aftertouch to steer around corners to enemies that can't see you. Use your guns with the cornering technique for safe kills, and feel free to bullet hose enemies with their own guns, as they don't use your own ammo and have a limited timer on them.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/+6Mk8w==.jpg Prologue - 10G - Complete Chapter 1

You'll start the first mission without the glaive or any of the powers, so try for headshots with the pistol until you pick up an assault rifle from the guards. The final boss fight for this mission might also be frustrating to some, especially on brutal difficulty so make sure you kill all the guards before you grab the RPG. If you hide behind the crates, the guards will tend to group up by the truck, at which point you can use your grenades liberally, as you'll lose them anyway at the start of the second chapter. Grab rockets from the crate first then grab the RPG because I'm pretty sure picking it up triggers the helicoptor to attack. Stay behind one of the large metal crates and lock on to the chopper using the cornering technique before firing your rockets and this fight shouldn't be too difficult.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/+YItRg==.jpg Exposure - 10G - Complete Chapter 2

You'll start with nothing but your glaive, and will gain the ability to grab far off ammo or weapons with the Steal ability. You'll find ammo crates with pistol ammo which you can use, and feel free to pick up weapons from the enemies, although they can only be used for a short amount of time before deactivating. You'll encounter the Collossus on this mission, but can't kill it. Just use the guards' guns to fire at it until it runs and make sure to dodge the rocks it throws as well as its charge attack.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/+GLV1Q==.jpg Baggage Claim - 10G - Complete Chapter 3

You'll gain the Power Throw and Aftertouch abilities in this chapter, thus allowing you to start working towards the Hardball, Finesse, and Aftertouch abilities as you play. You'll also encounter the shield guards in this chapter, who can do quite a bit of damage if they close enough to melee. Just use a power throw on their shields and shoot them with your pistol to kill them, and keep a safe distance.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/-cA+LA==.jpg Moths to the Flame - 10G - Complete Chapter 4

At the start of this mission you'll encounter the black market merchant for the first time, and its suggested that you sell your grenades (unless you use them or your on Brutal difficulty, where they come in handy) and unwanted upgrades. Personally I don't use the Extended Clip, Quick Reload, Stopping Power, or Double Shot upgrades, and they sell for 2500 a piece. I would suggest buying the Tekna Burst and upgrading it with an Accuracy, but save your money and other upgrades for the better weapons later on. You'll encounter the first Jackal this chapter, and it can't be hijacked so you'll have to destroy it with the RPGs. Grab the launcher and hide behind the crate, using the cornering technique to lock on and jumping out to quickly fire the shot. Use the glaive to grab extra rockets from around the area, and just keep shooting till its dead.

You'll also fight the Collossus for the last time at the end of this mission. It will climb up on the walls, and you have to pick up the fire from the burning rubble with your glaive to get it to fall down. Run up to it and hit the B button and then mash whatever button it tells you to. You'll have to do this three times, then it will rampage around the church charging at you and throwing things. Just shoot at it and light it on fire with your glaive and it will die in no time.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/-CDGvw==.jpg The Shipment - 10G - Complete Chapter 5

You'll have access to the Protecta, and the VX Carbine. The Protecta is a pretty powerful shotgun, and is much better than what the guards have but my suggestion is waiting to buy the shotgun pistol a little later on. The VX Carbine is a sniper rifle that uses magnum ammo, but I didn't find it all that useful. You should save your money for the shotgun pistol and the best assault rifle. You'll encounter the second jackal on this level, but this time you'll be able to hijack it. Use your glaive to ignite the barrels on the truck on fire and burn the black shield thing thats guarding the electric panel. Charge up with electricity and hit the Jackal, then quickly run around behind it and hit the B button. You'll hijack it, getting the achievement and also avaoid an unneccessary fight.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/-gHPCg==.jpg The Bait - 10G - Complete Chapter 6

You'll now have access to the Hammer and the Spectre, the last two single hand weapons. The Hammer is a very powerful and accurate revolver, but I wouldn't suggest it as magnum ammo is very scarce, and has a low maximum amount you can carry. The Spectre I found to be the most effective handgun, although you might want to add an Extended Clip to it for that extra shot. You'll see your first powersuit soldier on this level. They're large armored soldiers that carry chainguns. Use your guns to attack the lights on its shoulders and then it when it staggers and turns red, run up and do a finishing move on it or shoot it until it dies.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/-+E3mQ==.jpg Industrial Evolution -10G - Complete Chapter 7

The Korbov TK6 will be available this chapter, but at the pricey cost of 40,000 rubles (this is why you saved that money). Its far more effective than the AKS-74, outranking it in both damage and accuracy. Load it up with upgrades and enjoy the firepower. At the end of the chapter you'll face the Stalker. Watch the water for signs of it moving and just keep hitting it with your gun and glaive. When it retreats to the corner be sure to shoot it so it runs right back at you, keeping it from coming around behind and getting a surprise attack. It will run up one of the large spires, and at this point you'll want to keep looking around in a circle, as it will materialize and fire rockets at you pretty quickly, and these can be devastating on brutal mode. Use your shield ability to deflect the rockets back and finish it off when prompted.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/-MYjlw==.jpg Unnatural History - 10G - Complete Chapter 8

This is a pretty short chapter, and theres really nothing special to it. Use your Shift ability wisely and battle on to the end of it.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/-SbbBA==.jpg Threshold Guardian - 10G - Complete Chapter 9

This is the last chapter that you'll see the black markey guy so make sure you've got what weapons and uprades you want before the final battle. You'll fight the Nemesis boss towards the end, and this can be a fairly lengthy and frustrating battle. Make sure to keep your distance from it when it charges at you, using your glaives power throw and the Spectre to slow it down. After a bit of that, it will charge up with lighting and throw its blade, which you should try your best to dodge. Throw your glaive at its glaive to charge it with lightning, and then hit it to take down its shield. Two hits from this will destroy its shield, and one more will stun it after which you'll have to run and press the B button. After the third time you hit it up close, you'll defeat it and be ready to continue to the final chapter.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/-pg2xQ==.jpg The Dark Sector - 100G - Complete the game

If you thought the 10 point level achievements were kind of weak, wait until you reap the rewards at the end. At the start you'll have to fight off some soldiers, in which a grenade at the immediate start is useful while they're stunned. The only other encounter is the final boss, which isn't too difficult if you do it right. Three large tentacles will come out, and you'll have to charge your glaive with electricity to hurt them. If they're closed, use a power throw on the nubs to make them open, exposing the eyes. Use Aftertouch to guide the glaive into the eyes, destroying the tentacles, right after the last one is gone quickly swith to your assault rifle and shoot Mezner in the center of the pod and switch back to the glaive when he stops attacking. Another two tentacles will come out, along with zombies that spawn when another dies. Try to ignore them, focusing on the two tentacles and on the last one get ready for Mezner again. The third wave the zombies will be gone, and their will be five tentacles, three in the middle and one on either side of you. Take out the ones on the side first and then the ones in the center. Thats all there is to it, and you'll have beaten the game!

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/-Lk-cA==.jpg Dark Sector - Brutal Difficulty - 110G - Complete the game on Brutal Difficulty

After finishing the game once, on the single player menu a new option "New Game Brutal Difficulty" will be available. Just play through on Brutal but be more careful and take your time, as you will take more damage and enemies will be tougher. I'm not sure if this achievement is glitched or not, as I played through on Brutal, hitting "Continue game" every time, but the achievement did not unclock at the end of completing it even though the enemies were noticably harder than normal mode. Half the levels on the load game screen were also not said to have been played on Brutal difficulty, which seems rather odd because I didn't start any new games in between. If someone could please let me know about this I'll update the guide.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UPvmtzw=.jpg Hardball - 35G - Kill 30 enemies with Power-throw

Just kill the enemies with the power throw by holding down RB until the reticle turns yellow, then release it. This shouldn't be too hard to get, and I would suggest using it with Aftertouch and aiming for decapitations to work on the Finesse and Headhunter achievements at the same time.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/+zrdPA==.jpg Finesse - 40G - Kill 30 enemies with Aftertouch

After throwing the glaive tap and hold RB while its in mid flight to control it in the air. Just kill 30 enemies doing this to unlock it. Aim for the head!

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UPi+v9U=.jpg Headhunter - 10G - Decapitate 30 enemies

To decapitate and enemy, hold RB to do the Power Thorw and aim for their necks. Its much easier after you get the Aftertouch ability. Soldiers behind cover and zombies are easy targets for this one.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UPleR0Y=.jpg Double Decap Latte - 15G - Get two Decapitations in one shot

Just decapitate two enemies with a single power throw. I would suggest doing this on the bridge in Chapter 4, as theres a good amount of zombies that come out grouped together. In later levels the large hammer wielding ones are very slow moving and good targets also.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UPz8rL8=.jpg The Finisher - 10G - Perform 30 finishers

To perform a finisher, either get behind an enemy or hurt them so they are glowing red, get close and press the B button. These should be fairly easy to come by throughout the game, especially on zombies as they have no ranged attacks to deter you.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UPxlVXA=.jpg Sharpshooter - 10G - Get 30 headshots

Just kill enemies by shooting them in the head. This should unlock naturally by the end of the game if you use your guns at all.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/+ojvjA04==.jpg Ghost - 35G - Use Shifting to get a finisher

After you unlock the Shifting ability at the end of Chapter 7, go invisible and sneak up behind an enemy to perform the finisher.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UPnHvok=.jpg Rebound - 15G - Kill an enemy with a reflected projectile

After you get your shield ability, trigger it at the next group of soldiers you see and stand close to one of them, aiming at him. The bullets will deflect to him, killing him and unlocking the achievement.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UP5EXMU=.jpg Incinerator - 10G - Incinerate 30 enemies

Power up your glaive with fire and throw it at enemies for an instant fire kill. Just keep using fire to with your glaive where its available and you should get this by the end of the game. If you're really worried about it, reload a checkpoint with enemies and a fire source and keep killing until it unlocks.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UPt-TvM=.jpg Electrician - 10G - Electrocute 30 enemies

Power up the glaive with electricity and go to town. This can be attained pretty easily on Chapter 3, where there is a power transformer you can get electricity from and just keep killing the masses of enemies that come and reloading the checkpoint a couple times.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UP0cVCw=.jpg Jack Frost - 10G - Kill 30 frozen enemies

Power up the glaive with frost, which comes in the later levels in frozen barrels or freezing tanks. These are kind of scarce, so you might want to reload checkpoints and killing until you get this. You don't have to "kill" a frozen enemy, just hit them with this and they'll turn to ice.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UP47QCI=.jpg Glaive Master - 10G - Complete a level using only the glaive

I don't think you have to complete a whole chapter, just a portion of it using only this. After you get the glaive in Chapter 2, don't use your guns until this achievement unlocks.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UPltflo=.jpg Skeet Shooter - 10G - Shoot 10 projectiles in mid-flight

To get this just shoot the large boulders that the Collossus throws during the fight at the church until this unlocks. I can't confirm it but I'm pretty sure that hitting enemy grenades with your glaive counts towards this too.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UP-buLE=.jpg Greed - 10G - Collect over 50,000 rubles

You have to have all 50k in your possession at once, but if you wait to spend your money on the better weapons you should have 50,000 before you get them. If not sell everything you can at the black market and reload the checkpoint after you get the achievement.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UPqsj3w=.jpg Researcher - 10G - Collect 10 weapon upgrades

You'll find the weapon upgrades in suitcases located throughout the games. This thread has all the locations, and helped me out a LOT. Credit goes to LoD WheeZzy for these. Thanks mate!

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UPoGT68=.jpg Master Researcher - 15G - Collect all weapon upgrades

For this one you'll have to get every upgrade. Just follow LoD WheeZzys guide (link is abover in Researcher description) to get all of them.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UP7unBY=.jpg Weaponsmith - 10G - Apply 5 Upgrades in the Black Market

You'll find the upgrades in the suitcases, but I would suggest saving them for the Spectre and Korbov TK6. If you want to get it early, just buy the AKS-74 and apply uprades to that and your pistol or Tekna Burst, then reload to the checkpoint.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/+ojvjA01==.jpg Collossus - 50G - Defeated the Collossus

This will unlock after you defeat the Collossus in Chapter 4. Read the description for "Moths to the Flame" for tips on beating this boss.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/+ojvjA05==.jpg Jack the Jackal - 35G - Take the Jackal for a ride

This unlocks after you hijack the Jackal in Chapter 5. Read the description for "The Shipment" for tips on how to do this.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/+ojvjA02==.jpg Stalker - 65G - Defeated the Stalker

This will unlock after defeating the Stalker at the end of Chapter 7. Read the description for "Industrial Evolution" for tipson beating the boss.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/+ojvjA03==.jpg Nemesis - 85G - Defeated the Nemesis

This will unlock after defeating the Nemesis at the end of Chapter 9. Read the description for "Threshold Guardian" for tips on beating this boss.

 

 

 

 

Multiplayer Achievements

 

If you're looking for people to boost multiplayer achievements you can find help in the Achievement Trading Thread.

Come in first in a Ranked Infection match. Just score the most points overall and be in first at the end of the match.

Accumulate a total of 2000 points. Same as Veteran, boost or grind its going to take a while.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/304/UPzPlaM=.jpg Champion - 30G - Finish Best Overall in a Ranked Epidemic Match (Multiplayer)

I heard your game can glitch on Brutal difficulty. If it does, can you just replay the scenes that are not marked as completed on Brutal or how does that work?? Do you have to replay the entire game??

 

Yeah, it'll tell you which chapters were completed in brutal and which were completed in Normal.

VGA Evil : I don't think you can replay specific chapters on Brutal difficulty, since I don't see an option for difficulty setting. I could be wrong though. Personally I started another new game on Brutal and played through till the end, and everything went smoothly the second time around.

 

Immortal Lament: Thanks mate :)

How can you ensure that the game remains on Brutal difficulty so you can clear all the stages?? Another guy here claimed you can't do a scene select so I'd hate to have to redo the game on hard more than once. I can use a memory card to double save my progress each time I ensure that the chapter was completed on Brutal if that's necessary.

 

Sorry Vegas 2's hard difficulty glitch has me a little weary at this point lol

Confirmed: The complete list for master researcher is correct and you can NOT sell any of your upgrades until you get the achievement.

Advice:

-Use the glaive, no doubt the focus and best aspect of this game.

-If you die after getting an upgrade before reaching a save, be sure to get it again.

-Do NOT sell your upgrades, or your upgraded weapons until you get the achievement.

-*Definitely get the upgrades I have marked with an *asterisk.

-Sell your grenades. They're not that great, there's plenty of them and the weapons are more important. (Sure, keep them if you like them.)

-Follow the guide and collect them the first play through to get the achievement out of the way. Then you can sell unwanted upgrades on brutal to get better weapons faster.

I got it by beating the game in one sitting so if you have several hours set aside then you can go for it. Its the only method I have found that works.

That's crap. Why can't they make these acheivements work correctly?? Microsoft is going after gamerscore cheaters with a vengenace but they allow the NHL Penalty shot to be glitched and LoTR and Condemned are still less than 1000 gamerscore. And games like this and Vegas 2 have glitched out achievements. If you're going to take this achievement system seriously, make sure it works correctly!! /rant

Not microsofts fault evil about other companies making glitched achievements. Worried about microsoft coming after some of ur glitched achievements?

 

Yes it is Microsoft's fault as they are responsible for the games that are made for thier console. Microsoft requires that each game has achievements, but they don't verify if they work correctly. A game could come out with 1000 glitched achievement points and they probably wouldn't do anything. Look at Rapala Tournament fishing for christ sakes.

 

And no, not worried about them coming after me at all.

...These are kind of scarce, so you might want to reload checkpoints and killing until you get this

So are you saying that our kills are remembered and we still get credit for them even though we haven't saved our progress? In other words, if we continue to reload the same check point after getting a certain number of kills, we will still get credit for those kills even though we hadn't saved before reloading that checkpoint?
