After much deliberation I decided to write a more in depth and detailed guide. Enjoy and good luck on your quest for 1000http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg.

Overview:

 

  • Estimated achievement difficulty: 1-2/10
  • Offline achievements: 13 for 1000http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg
  • Online achievements: 0 for 0http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg
  • Approximate amount of time to 1000: 4-7 hours
  • Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1
  • Number of miss-able achievements: 2 (Pistol Upgrade & Riffle Upgrade)
  • Do cheat codes disable achievements? no cheats available
  • Does difficulty affect achievements? yes, but stack-able

 

 

 

**Things to keep in mind**

 

  • You can not replay a mission by selecting it in the briefing room. If you want to do a level you already completed to get an achievement start up a level you have no completed yet. Pause the game by pressing :start: then choose load game. You will see a list of all saved games. This includes all checkpoints as well as the saves right when you start the level.

 

 

  • You do not need to complete the whole game multiple times. There is a way to get the "Complete Darkest of Days" & "with chest hair" achievements without spending more time on this waist of a disc called Darkest of days. For further information please refer to the achievement "with chest hair"

 

 

  • There is a useful glitch. There is no toggle crouch option. If you want to stay in the crouch position press the :ls:. While pressing the :ls: press :start:. Just resume the game and your dude will stay in the crouch position until you press the :ls: again.

Complete all levels in the WW2 campaign.

 

There are 3 missions in the WW2 campaign. They are back to back. Meaning when one mission ends the other missing begins right away. You do NOT go to the briefing room between missions. After completing these mission you should have 40+ upgrade points. See Pistol Upgrade for info on that.

  1. The Thin Red Dot
  2. The Gauntlet

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/724/-yO6pA==.jpgSecret Mission 75http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Locate and complete the secret mission at the end of the game.

Time to get the last achievement in this game. Once you complete the mission in Pompeii you will be brought back to the briefing room. Once here a dude will appear out of no where. He will have a conversion with Dr. Koell. During this conversation make your way to the wooden door located behind the dude talking to Dr. Koell. Walk up to the door and press and Hold :ybut:. A blue bar will now fill up. Once the conversation is over the secret mission will start. Once you gain control of your dude make sure you put the difficult back to easy to make this a little easier. All you have to do is defend the dev. team. After about 3 or 4 waves you'll be asked to go to the cemetery. Look at all the crosses. Once you looked at all of them about 5-6 enemy troops will ambush you. Kill them all. Once completed the achievement will pop. Congrats on your 1000!

Complete all levels in the game on normal difficulty or higher.

Please see the achievement "with chest hair" for more information. Also, the difficulty achievements are stack-able. meaning If you completed the hardest difficulty first then the lower difficulty achievements will pop when completing the hardest achievement.

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/724/+2Gpzg==.jpgWith Chest Hair 200http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Complete all the levels in the game on the highest difficulty.

From the games main menu go to Settings. Once your in the settings menu you will see Game difficulty on the top left hand side. Its right under game settings. Highlight it and press :abut:. Press :ddown: to choose With Chest Hair. Once highlighted press :abut: to confirm your choice. Go all the way down and highlight Accept and once again press :abut: to confirm. This will bring you back to the main menu. Highlight New Game and press :abut:. All you have to do from here in complete the game on this difficulty. Good luck!

Alternitive method

Play through the game on easy and get the majority of the achievements in the game, minus the complete the game on xxx difficulty achievements. You should have 3 achievements left by the time you come to the last level "The Vesuvian Man". Progress through this level like you normally would. After speaking to Dr. Koell he will step into a blue orb and transport to the arena. On your way to the arena you'll have to disable more enemy telesyncs. After killing a shit load of enemies you'll be given an objective "Secure Dr. Koell". Follow the marker. Once your about 30 or so meters press :start: and go to settings. Highlight game difficulty and set it to "with chest hair". Next, highlight accept and press :abut: to confirm. Once at the loading screen you get this achievement along with "Complete Darkest of Days". Congrats!

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/724/-QKzEQ==.jpgHorse Puncher 100http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Punch a horse in the face, killing it.

 

This can be done on the very first playable level "Little Big Horn" where you have to kill the "injuns". Press :rbbut: to melee a horse. You can NOT melee a dead or friendly horse and have it count for this achievement, I tried lol. Also, you do not have to melee a horse in the face. I hit a horse on its right side and the achievement popped.

Congrats, PETA now hates you lol :woop:

 

[spoiler=123]Right after the second save point (right where you pull your six shooter out) there will be like 5 or 6 Indians on horse back coming right at you. Just pick one and press :rbbut: to melee the horse.

 

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/724/-iWnHw==.jpgGhandi Award 100http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Complete a combat level without using any lethal attacks.

 

This achievement is best done on the first civil war mission "Night Moves". Keep moving from check point to checkpoint without killing anyone with any firearms or riffles. Press :ddown: to equip the chasers. When ever you see any enemies with a blue aura press the :rtbut: to release the chasers. When you see that your chasers are on a enemy with blue aura press :ltbut:to detonate your chasers. Complete this mission with just using your chasers and the achievement will pop at the end of the mission. One thing to keep in mind, use the :lbbut:

to sprint often

 

 

 

Food for thought

You are limited to how many chaser balls you have. Once they are all gone your dude will switch back to his sidearm/riffle. Make sure you do not fire any bullets. However, you can pistol whip enemies. Which is always a plus ;)

 

 

 

[spoiler=124]In the beginning of this level just run past any enemies until you get to the manor. Early on in the level if you run into enemies you can just run right by them because you don't encounter that many. The manor on the other hand is a different story!

 

At the manor where you need to kill all the "rebs" just sit back and let the AI solders kill them.

 

use the rocks/boulders to your advantage. When the enemies swarm your position and you keep getting hit move to the forest on the left side. Keep strafing while your AI team mates do the killing. Remember to press :ls: to crouch. This will help you stay alive!

 

Once your AI team mates are done killing all the enemies you'll have to go around to the back of the manor. After a minute or two you will have to cross the river. Follow your map. Once you crossed the river in question you will need to make you way to the union camp. Again, follow your map. Keep running past the enemies you encounter. You will get hit a few times but not enough to cause you to die. Stay close to the bank of the river when going to the union camp if you encounter the enemies. This will help you not to get hit that much, or it did for me at least. Once you reach the union camp you get a new objective (secure your exit). Once at your new objective you will see the blue orb appear. Step inside it. Once you are presented with the loading screen you will see:

100http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg - Ghandi Award

Congrats!

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/724/-8VfjA==.jpgRage Fists 100http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill at least 25 NPCs with your bare hands.

 

Once you begin a level press :ddown: to equip the chasers. Once you see a enemy press :rbbut: to preform a melee attack. As the achievement description says, you must kill 25 enemies this way. Should take you no longer then 5 minutes or so if you are solely going for this achievement. On easy difficulty its basically once hit with your fist to kill the enemy, making this an easy 100http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg. A good level to get this achievement on is the civil war mission "A Harvest of Carnage" You come across a lot of enemies you can melee.

 

 

You can also use the pistol whip method. But to kill the enemies will take 2 hits from any weapon's melee to kill them. It takes one hit from your fists to kill the enemies. You do the math

 

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/724/-lq7+A==.jpgBomb Technician 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Kill yourself with an explosive device.

 

There are 2 ways of getting this. You can on the WW1 mission "Germans on run". This mission is available right after the tutorial level. Right at the start of the level you will see crates on the left side. There are frags right on top of those crates. Walk up to it to pick up the frags. Toss a frag on the floor in front of you with :bbut: and walk up to it. Wait a few seconds for it to explode. Once it explodes you will die. Achievement unlocked.

 

For the impatient people who want the achievement as soon as possible you can do it on the tutorial mission. Frags are the second thing you learn in this level. Toss one in front of you and wait.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/724/-HuyTQ==.jpgTethered Swimming 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Die of suffocation underwater.

 

This can be done on the WW1 mission "Germans on run". There is a river you will come across during one of your objectives (right near the end of the level) Run into the water and keep walking in the water. You will find a spot where you can completely submerge in the water. Right after you die it will pop, just as you are given the you have died screen

 

[spoiler=125]During the objective "Keep up with Petrovich" you will come come across a mill. There is a small river that runs along side of the mill. At the base of the water wheel there is a spot for you to completely emerge yourself under water.

 

 

 

 

Congrats on you 1000 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg! If there is something I missed, or if there is something I can improve upon or word better please let me know. I am open to suggestions. Thank for for using this guide!

No offense to the person to make the other guide, but this one is much more clear. Please consider a sticky on this one and let the other fade. Thanks warhammer666!

Just to let future people know, yes this is a great easy guide but the Ghandi achievement method is wrong. What you want to do is on the same level, you switch to chasers but melee with the RB button only, if you use the chasers it voids the achievement.

 

This method will net you 200 achievement points, as long as you melee 25 enemies.

Well I used that very method and the achievement wouldnt unlock, I even went through that level twice. I then went on Youtube and RoosterTeeth went through just using the melee and I got both achievements.

 

Also you're wrong here too.
