Extinction Achievement Guide by NTA

Introduction:

Call of Duty: Ghosts is the 10th instalment in the series and is set in the near future after a nuclear destruction of the Middle East. The story is mainly told through the eyes of Logan Walker who exists inside of a group known as the Ghosts who must fight back against a new global power, leaded by Rorke.

 

The replacement for Zombies is known as Extinction, which features aliens as the main enemy. This mode can be played online with a total of 4 players. The objective is to exterminate the alien by using a drill to destroy their hives. Similar to zombies, players will earn money to spend on various upgrades, including weapons, equipment and environmental traps. The gamemode allows for 30 levels, which are reset similar to Prestige.

 

Single Player:

It is recommended that you begin your first playthrough on Veteran difficulty, which will unlock the You've Earned It achievement. Each mission has a level specific achievement, as well as the 1 Rorke File available. If you make sure that you get all level specific achievements and Rorke Files on your first playthrough, you should get 40 Achievements worth 795:gsicon: in about 6-8+ hours. It is important to note that if you miss anything along the way, level select is available, but it is recommended that you wait until after you complete the campaign to do this.

 

Also, Rorke File progress can be checked at any time at the campaign main menu, and collecting all 18 of them will unlock the Audiophile achievement.

 

Extinction:

There are only 9 extinction mode achievements, but they are easily the hardest and most time-consuming in the game. It is recommended that this mode is played with a total of 4 players at all times, which can be randomly found online or organized in parties. The achievements will require you to complete a full game of the mode where all 4 players survive. Additionally, completing the mode with 1m30s left on the clock, using traps, scavenging items and using a relic will yield extra achievements.

 

The new game mode can be intimidating for new players of the series, or lower levels. It is best if you take your time to level up within the game mode, which will allow you access to better loadouts, giving a better chance of success. Additional, achievement specific details can be found at the bottom of this guide.

 

Safeguard:

There is 1 achievement associated with this mode. Grab some friends and pass round 20 to unlock this achievement.

 

Mop-Up:

At this point you’ll want to make sure that you got all the miscellaneous single player achievements, and replay any levels if you've missed them.

 

Conclusion:

This is one of the easier Call of Duty games in regards to achievements. They are pretty straight forward, and the Veteran difficulty is more manageable than previous instalments. After beating campaign on Veteran, and putting a good amount of time into the Extinction mode, you should have all the achievements in the game.

This achievement is hard to miss. At the end of Mission 10: Clockwork, you’ll take control of a turret as you escape the plant. All you need to do is use your turret to shoot the ice in front of enemy vehicles and you will gain the achievement once you take out 8 of them, by having them crash into the ice holes. Make sure you aim in front of the enemies and time it so that you have easy shots during straight areas. Once you get 8 enemy jeeps or snowmobiles, you’ll get the achievement.

This achievement is another very easy achievement. During Mission 11: Atlas Falls, you will gain access to a control room with pressure valves. Your ally will ask you to control it as he works on something else. In this mini-game the goal is to use the left analog stick to keep the bars within the green/yellow areas. Just use small movements to adjust the levels when they begin to change. After about 30 seconds, you will be done and the achievement will unlock.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2681/24.jpg Piece of cake 100:gsicon:

Storm the common room and kill everyone without taking damage on Veteran.

 

Mission 11: Atlas Falls (Veteran Difficulty)

 

During the mission, you will come to a room that you must breach, and your ally will push you away from the explosion. This is the room where the achievement takes place. Make sure that you keep all your grenades and flash bangs for this section, and I recommend using any weapon with a red dot sight. Once you get up from the explosion, cook a flash bang and throw it into the middle of the room. When it goes off sprint behind the counter directly in front of you. If you're fast enough, you can get away with firing some bullets and killing 1-2 enemies before going prone behind the counter. Once prone, throw another flashbang into the middle of the room. You should be able to go crouch and see where the enemies are. Throw a grenade into each corner of the room and that should take out most of the enemies. Now you can try and wait until you allies take out a few more enemies before slowing poking your head out an trying to kill any remaining enemies in the back. If you "push up" but stay behind cover, your allies will also move up and hopefully clear out the enemies. If at any point you get hit, which is indicated by a red blink on your screen, press pause and restart the checkpoint.

The achievement will unlock when the final enemy is killed and the ally says "All Clear!"

Progress through the mission until you reach a control laptop where you take control of a remote drone that guides rod missiles. At this point you need to make sure to kill all the enemies (marked in red) and not kill any allies (marked in blue). Use 2-3 shots to take out the first group, and ensure that no enemies survive. Next, wait for the train to pass a little bit, and when the next group of enemies appears be careful so that the blast doesnt kill any of your troops near the tracks. After this group, more enemies will appear. Start with the group in the back and make your way around.

 

It can be very hard to tell if you killed one of your own allies. You can tell that you hit one if they say "Thompson, make sure your shots are on target!". At this point, restart the checkpoint immediately. Also restart if you missed an enemy.

The achievement will unlock when the camera goes back to the space station. If it doesn't, you have to restart the entire level.

In between the solar panel and the short tube that you floated through, you’ll spot the file floating in space. The file moves around, so it won’t always be in the exact same spot.

At the beginning of the mission, in the room with the small tv, you’ll want to turn around and find a red tool chest next to the jeep. The file is on top of the chest.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2681/49.jpg Safeguard 20:gsicon:

Reach round 20 in Safeguard.

 

It is recommended that you do this achievement with at least 3 players, but 4 are definitely better. For the achievement, you must complete round 20.

 

I recommend doing this on Octane, and camping in the Strip Club, as most enemies will come through the front entrance, and you can keep one person in the back just in case. In between each round, make sure you pick up whatever weapon drop that you are comfortable with, but more importantly after every 5 rounds there will be killstreak drops, which show as blue crates. Make sure all members of the team run around the map and grab as many as possible each. Also, make sure that you use them when needed, and space them out across the next 5 rounds until you can get more. It is best if you place the turret in the main doorway, and call in choppers and missile strikes near the beginning of the round. Keep communicating with your team when necessary, and you shouldn't have too many problems passing round 20. Also, make sure to revive each other if you are downed.

 

Another tactic involves playing on the map Stonehaven, and camping inside the small building next to the burning house as there is only one entrance, and the enemies will all line up easily. Watch out for riot shield enemies though.

 

In total, the achievement should take around 20-30 minutes.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2681/50.jpg You've earned it 40:gsicon:

Earn the mask. Finish the campaign on Veteran.

 

It is recommended that you start the campaign on Veteran difficulty. It can give you a few problems, but if you take your time and use cover, you won't have too many problems.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2681/40.jpg No Man Left 20:gsicon:

Escape with all four players

 

This achievement is awarded when all four players make it out alive. In extinction, you have to get through all 3 main stages, destroy the hives, and then run back to the beginning within 4 minutes. It is recommended you do this with 4 players online. All players should be communicating a supporting each other for success. Players should form their own roles, and use the skill points wisely. I recommend that 1 player supplies as much ammo as possible, while another supplies armour. Make sure that the ammo person has speciality ammo available, like armour piercing or incendiary rounds. The 3rd player should use a good portion of their money on traps, sentries and IMS, while the 4th floats between people helping with whatever is needed and also funds the attack helicopter whenever possible. It is important for all 4 members to stay together near the end, as a downed player is very hard to revive if they are far from the drill.

 

I also think that all teams should have 1 drill specialist, 1 medic and 1 tank. It is important for these people to know their roles and play them well. For example, it is vital for a tank to always be near other teammates as they are powerful but can be downed easily if stranded.

 

Also, at the beginning of the round, make sure to spend money wisely, and try to keep spending to a minimum. This is also the area you should be building up skill points to upgrade skills. Use the time at the end of an area to restock and prepare, and make sure to have $3000 or less before picking up the cash, or else it goes to waste.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2681/41.jpg Sprinter 20:gsicon:

Reach the exfil chopper with 1 minute and 30 seconds or more remaining on the clock.

 

Similar to "Made it Out Alive", but for this one you will have to reach the chopper at the beginning of the map within 2 minutes and 30 seconds which will leave the necessary time on the clock.

 

There are a few tips to help you:

  • Use Medic class, and full upgrade that skill before the end of the map
  • Run with the pistol as it allows you to sprint faster
  • Ensure health and armour are full before setting off the nuke
  • Don't stop running, at any point
  • Know the quickest route back to the chopper, and circle areas while waiting for the meteors to pass.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2681/42.jpg Made it Out Alive 20:gsicon:

Escape 1st time

 

Extinction mode has three total areas that you must progress through to reach the end. You will have to clear 4 hives and then allow the chopper to clear the way allowing you to progress to the city and unlocking City Dweller. After clearing out more hives, and allowing the chopper to clear the way again, you will progress to the cabin, and will unlock Cabin Fever. Now, in the last area you will yet again clear out more hives, and then you will have to call in a nuke. Once the nuke is called, everyone will need to run back to the beginning of the level within 4 minutes where the chopper is waiting. Once you escape, you will unlock this achievement.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2681/43.jpg Completionist 25:gsicon:

Complete all Extinction challenges and escape.

 

Probably the hardest achievement in the game. A challenge will appear every time that a drill is placed at a hive, and you must complete every challenge and escape to get this achievement. 4 players is obviously the best method, and all 4 players should know the objectives at hand at all times.

 

There are a few tips I have here for overall success. If the challenge you get is related to a specific gun type, and nobody has it, only 1 or 2 members of the team should buy the weapon while the others stay back and protect them while minimizing their own kills until the challenge is complete. If the challenge is to maintain 75% accuracy or to not reload, try to finish the rounds using melee attacks or sentries as accidental reloads and ammo pickups complicate things.

Get 50 kills with the electric fence and fire traps in a single game.

 

Electric Fences and Fire Traps are available in all 3 areas. Electric fences are activated using small batteries located on the ground, and will cost $500 each. Fire traps are activated using large oil barrels, and will cost $1,000 each. Players should take turns getting this achievement, and it is advised that you try to complete the achievement as quickly as possible as the third area is the most difficult to get these kills.

 

If you activate these traps, the enemies will run into them as long as the trap is somewhere on the way to the hive that is being drilled. Not all enemies will die from the traps though, so you can use your pistol to shoot them once to weaken them before they touch the traps to get more kills.

 

The locations of the traps are as follows:

Area 1:

  • Electric Fence 1 & 2: Located on the outside of the motel parking lot
  • Fire Trap 1: Located at the top of the hill, only useful during the chopper section.

 

Area 2:

  • Fire Trap 1: Located as soon as you enter the city area, at the opening of the alley to the left
  • Electric Fence 1: Down the main alley where you will spot a battery with some exposed wires next to a puddle. This is the best trap in the entire area.
  • Electric Fence 2 & 3: In the main area of the city, next to the road, there are two short brick walls that can be activated
  • Fire Trap 2: On the main street, to the left side when facing the main hive.
  • Electric Trap 4: On the main street, all the way to the very right when facing the main hive, hooked up to a fence

 

Area 3:

  • Fire Trap 1: After going under the bridge, there will be a barrel next to the building
  • Electric Fence 1: After going under the bridge, go forward, up the stairs to the left, and turn right at the top.
  • Electric Fence 2: At the bottom of the hill, to the left of the hive.
  • Electric Fence 3: At the bottom of the hill, follow the fence near the hive to the right hand side.
  • Electric Fence 4: Near the previous fence.
  • Electric Fence 5: Find this one next to the turret and sandbags, hanging from a post.

 

As soon as you get your 50th kill using traps, the achievement will unlock.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2681/47.jpg Trash Picker 20:gsicon:

Scavenge 40 items in a single game.

 

It is recommended that you do this solo, or with a group of friends that is taking turns getting this achievement. Items appear as small open trash bags or green containers on the ground of random areas. They are usually well hidden. Make sure to search areas for items before placing the drill, as enemies will only spawn once drilling starts.

 

Sweep through all 3 areas as much as possible, and make sure to look through every corner of the map before moving on to the next zone. After clearing the final hive, you will have unlimited time to explore as long as you don't plant the bomb, so it is recommended that you do this if playing with others.

 

Here is a video that will show all the most common spawn points of items:

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2681/48.jpg Throttled Escape 10:gsicon:

Escape using a relic.

 

A relic is rewarded to you after getting to level 30 in Extinction mode and then restarted back to level 1. There are 5 relics to choose from:

  1. Take More Damage - Aliens do increased damaged with their attacks.
  2. Pistols Only - Weapon purchases are not allowed.
  3. Smaller Wallet - Earn and carry less cash.
  4. Mortal - No class selection available.
  5. Do Less Damage - Inflict less damage against the aliens.

 

It is recommend to choose the "Smaller Wallet" relic as it provides the smallest disadvantage. Once your relic is active, you will need to escape a round of extinction, and it is recommended that you do this with a total of 4 players, and take turns doing it for each other.

 

Also, it is important to note that you will keep all available loadout items after going back to level 1, so you won't have to level again in order to gain the better loadout options.

In case you can't unlock the Safeguard achievement with friends (maybe you're the only one you know with an Xbox One, like I am), I just unlocked it playing solo.

 

Initial Setup:

Set it up on Prison Break. Make sure you have double health and fast regen as per the options. I.M.S., Turrets, and Vultures will be your friends, I recommend you grab one of each if possible (admittedly that usually doesn't happen-make sure you have a turret and an I.M.S. if you have to choose). When you see a loot round coming, go ahead and burn one or two of your killstreaks and pick up new ones of the same time. They don't get entirely wasted that way. You DO have to be quick about throwing down stuff and picking stuff up since you're running solo.

 

When the support crates drop there ARE a few things that will help you. First, try to get a Vepr and an AK-12. These are probably the two best weapons you can have for this setup (the ARX-160 is an acceptable substitute if you come across it first). As for perks that fall, Steady Aim, Slight Of Hand, Speed, Blast Shield, Fast Regen, Stalker, and Focus you should try to get if possible. This will make sure you don't get naded to death and can evade the riot shield enemies if need be. Once you have the weapons and perks you need, use the remaining drops for ammo refills. Toss any I.E.D.s you have before refilling so you don't waste them.

 

If you can, TRY to complete field orders when you know you're going to get ambushed by a lot of riot shields. The minigun with explosive rounds OHKs any enemy, so try your best to avoid wasting any of it, as you'll probably only get it once. If you finish it on accident though it's no big deal, enjoy easy mode for a few seconds. You can even walk around the map if you want to speed this round up a bit, you'd be pretty hard-pressed to die with a minigun regardless of who's rushing you.

 

Grab the ammo refill and damage boost drops when you can, but don't leave the building for them as you don't need a shit-ton of them to pass this. Toss any I.E.D.s before grabbing refills if you can.

 

Well that's the gameplan for the mode itself, as for the map...

 

Phase One:

Run to the courtyard next to the tower and position yourself so your back is to the gate and you can deal with the first few waves easily. Once the dogs and machine gun enemies start rushing you (round 5), head inside the tower and go to the second floor for phase two of this setup.

 

Phase two:

For phase two, toss an I.E.D. in the doorway leading outside (the one with the ladder next to it) as some enemies will rush in that way. (In the doorway allows any ammo/weapon skill bonuses to fall where you can run and grab them without going downstairs). Aim down the stairs and admire how all the enemies walk single-file towards their death. This is where you're going to camp for the next 15 levels.

 

Should you get downed, call in your Ghost Support. Not before, right after you get downed. He'll stick around and shoot enemies with you, but can get killed fairly easily, so don't waste him early on.

 

Your Ghost might like to camp on the opposite side of the stairs directly in front of you. The attack dogs have a tendency to jump through the railing and end up on the floor with you, so kill any dogs you see running up the stairs asap.

 

Jump off the second floor between rounds to get down quickly and grab the support crates between waves (also remember what I said about burning killstreaks when need be). Make sure you're inside before you start getting attacked for obvious reasons, ESPECIALLY if your Ghost is running around with you. Try to keep him alive as long as possible.

 

Phase Three:

Around round 10 you'll start seeing riot shield and explosive enemies. Explosive enemies didn't give me many problems (especially if you grab Blast Shield), but when I died, it was because of riot shield enemies nine times out of ten. When you start seeing them, you need to strafe and try to shoot them in the sides/back or in the feet ASAP. All it takes is one or two of them with a gunner enemy providing them with a little backup to get you killed fast. If you see a riot shield enemy, start shooting, if he's about to run up the stairs at you and you have to run away, toss an I.E.D. down if you need to. Anything to clear them out and reclaim your spot at the top of the stairs.

 

Final Phase:

Okay, you're on level 19. Hopefully you have some killstreaks on you. Use one to help you with this level. Vultures are kinda useless in your camping spot, so those I would call in over anything else. I.M.S.s' go in the rear doorway on the bottom floor of the tower and turrets go on the first turn of the staircase, facing towards the front doorway. Try to save two killstreaks for level 20.

 

Let's also assume your Ghost is dead by this point. Keep doing what you're doing with the riot shield enemies and keep calm so that you don't choke this far in.

 

Round 20 should come fairly easily. This is actually nothing special, and hopefully a cakewalk if you have an I.M.S. and a turret. Place your second two killstreaks, place an I.E.D. by the far doorway on the second floor, and camp it out. Should be fairly straight-forward, just keep doing what you're doing and you should finish.

 

It SEEMS long and hard, but once you get going, all it takes is some practice to get to level 20.
