Completionists beware! This game will take along time to complete and even though hours upon hours of boosting can help, some of the achievements are nearly impossible or cannot be boosted. This game has a couple achievements within the Completionist Nightmare Thread.

I highly recommend doing single player first because it will help you online and it will help you learn more about the game, but it is not required.

Single Player
Step 1: When you load up the game click on single player. Then select your saving device and make sure you save. You will then start up a tutorial mission in which you have to complete in order to continue the rest of the story mode.

Step 2: Complete the mission. It is very basic and the voice will tell you what to do and even what buttons you need to press.

Step 3: After completing the mission you will be brought to a menu filled with different kinds of missions including Soldier, Defender, Scout, Sniper, Commander, and Heavy Gunner.

Step 4: I recommend doing Soldier or Scout first because they're the easiest and doing Commander and Heavy Gunner last because they are the hardest.

Step 5: Pick your mission. You can select any role type and each role type has 6 levels you must complete. You can only select level 1 on each role type. So complete that mission and move to the next one. Beating level 1 on scout unlocks level 2 on scout and etc.

Step 6: After completing level 6 of any role type you unlock the achievement for completing that role type. If you haven't, I recommend replaying the levels you haven't achieved a rank S in yet. If you don't you will have to go to those missions at the end and repeat them until you get a S ranking to receive the Tact. Instructor achievement.

Step 7: After completing all role types at any ranking you unlock the final mission in which you have to destroy 3 hounds. Just use the videos I'll link right below and follow them and if you have all S ranks you should be set.

Video #2
Video #3

Multiplayer
This is where the true part of your 900+ hours gets taken from your life.

Step 8: Go to marketplace and get all the free parts because they are very good. Don't worry they take up only 56kb each of your hard drive space

Step 9: Go online and either join a squad or create a squad. (It's best to join a squad)

Step 10: Go for the achievements and make a checklist for the Deploying Service achievement.

Step 11: See if you can stay in the same nation for 3 wars to get your bronze patriot.

Step 12: Get your gold medals/achievements. You gain these ones by joining squads who are the top of the squad rankings.

Step 13: Grind Valors not many tips to do but you got to figure out the best maps to do certain role types in.

Step 14: Take a break and then continue going for your valor achievements. You most likely will have every other achievement by then and if you don't then you didn't keep a checklist of things you had to do.

Conclusion:
Good luck and make sure to join a squad or have your buddies help you out. and don't do free battle because you don't gain any achievements from it.

Complete Commander arc in Story Mode
After completing the first training mission of the game, you can return to the main menu and choose which story arc to complete. Each arc has six missions and one training mission. Just complete those missions and training, with any rating. Each arc ranges from easy to hard, and will take time. Don’t get frustrated; patience is the key along with strategy. If one strategy doesn’t work, try another one. Adapt to the hound your using and learn how to use it properly.
All Tact. Complete

20
Complete all missions in Story Mode
Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Complete the 42 story missions and the last mission. The last mission is extremely hard and frustrating. Just remember you don’t necessarily need to use the hound they provide you with. You can construct a new hound. I personally passed all 43 missions with Tactical Instructor by using the HOUNDs the mission provided me.
Tact. Instructor

20
Top marks in every Story Mode mission
Achieve a rank of S in all the 43 missions. Every mission has secondary goals, which when completed grant you the rank of S in the mission. You can either finish the mission the first time and then replay it, or open a walkthrough in gamefaqs so you can find out the objectives. I played the game with the guide and got most of the S ranks in the first try.

Multi Spec.

20
Deploy on multi Chassis 50 times

Deploy [play and complete] fifty missions with this hound type. You could do this by playing fifty times, or self-destructing. Win or lose, just finish the battle. To save money, just self-destruct with fewer parts. I recommend you take a paper, and write down where you self-destruct. Why? So, you can get the Tour Service while doing this. It will save you a lot of time and effort.
Crushing Award

20
Wipe out enemy and live 100 times

Win one hundred times without dying. It’s easier if you build a Piker Hound, play against the computer and destroy their base. You’ll also get the humane award, Survival Award, Bloodless Award, Red Flag, and Human award.

Attack an enemy HOUND before it can attack you.

20
Destroy 50 or more enemy HOUNDs

Eliminate the enemy, either human or computer a total of fifty times. For an easier time, you could snipe them from far away while a teammate distracts the enemy, bombard the HOUND from far away, or get down and dirty with heat seeking rockets and shotguns.
Bronze Flag

20
Secure COMBASs total of 100 times

The COMBASS appears as a large tower and as a letter in the radar. Stand near them for a few seconds and you’ll capture it. While you’re going for the Crushing Award, you could get four or so COMBASS per match. If you have the most amount of COMBASS by the time the round ends, you win. You could capture all of the COMBASS in the map, and then self-destruct to end the match.
Bronze Hammer

While you’re going for the Crushing Award, you could get four or so COMBASS per match. If you have the most amount of COMBASS by the time the round ends, you win. You could capture all of the COMBASS in the map, and then self-destruct to end the match.

This is the Life sapping part of Chromehounds Reach level one hundred for each Role Type. That’s two million points! IF you get Tactical Instructor, you’ll start off in the level thirties or so. My only tip is to get a group of dedicated people together and follow the criteria in this link.
Bronze Patriot

20
Stay w/ same nation for 3 seasons

Stay with the same nation for three wars. This can take a while now, since the wars are going slow. You can join one country, and sign back in a few days to see how the war’s going. After each war, stay with the same nation, and at the end of the third war, you’ll get the achievement.

Gold Lion

20
#1 in seasonal conquest points at end

These are time consuming, but not impossible. They will test your squad’s dedication. Join or create a big squad, with a lot of members. Make sure that each member plays and wins a set amount of matches per day. You get 20 or so points per win. So, try to get your squad mates to get two hundred [ten matches] per day or more. Now, two hundred times the amount of members and you should have a stable income of points. I’m not sure how long the period of time is, but I think it’s for two or three wars. The people in the top have more than one hundred thousand points, so keep on trying and go the extra mile.
Marching Service

20
Travel total of 1000000

I’m not sure if it’s kilometers or miles. Either way, you will most likely get this after deploying 300 times. I got it at 375! One grid in the map is ten, so try to get the most you can out of each match to get the achievement.
Military Service

20
Deploy total of 300 times or more

After doing all of the deployments on each type of leg[hover/wheel], you’ll get the achievement. It will be 300 exactly. Just self-destruct so it’s faster.
Capital Occupation

20
Affiliated nation destroys another

The nation you’re fighting for destroyed another country. I recommend you join Morskoj, since they win most wars. After capturing the enemies capital, all their territories belong to your country and you’ll get the medal.
Nation Resurrector

20
Successfully revive affiliated nation

After your country has been captured, the resistance will begin. Join Sal Kar since they mostly die early in the war. The trick is to do a lot of missions; you must revive the country before the war ends! Also, most people in Sal Kar go to another country instead of reviving it.
Neroimus War Medal

40
Affiliated nation wins Neroimus War
(1)
Win at least one war. Again, join Morskoj.
Bloodless Award

20
Win 5 times w/o attacking enemy

See "Crushing Award".
Combat Award

20
Win 10 times when outnumbered

Team up with a buddy. Start off a two against two. Right before the HQ is about to be destroyed, your buddy will self-destruct and make sure that BOTH enemies are still alive!
Humane Award

20
End 5 times in a row w/o killing enemy

See "Crushing Award".
Silver Patriot

20
Donate to affiliate nation 1 times

You need to donate 10,000,000 to the fatherland! Win a lot of missions. Most SHOULD give you about 100,000. So, assuming that you make that much per battle, around the 100th deployment you should be able to donate to the fatherland.
Dist. Service

20
Destroy unidentified enemy weapon

This is a tricky achievement. Every country has a secret weapon that it deploys when certain conditions are met. You’ll receive a message talking about it, and if you’re a member of the country that deployed it, bad luck, switch immediately. You just need to fight the secret weapon. After it is defeated, you’ll get the medal. These conditions MUST be met:

1.Respective nation must be under duress (i.e. not controlling any other areas);

2. Respective nation must recapture the specified area;

3. When the area is recaptured the specific battlefield must be controlled by the respective nation.

Morskoj: East Salma Woods of the Xivera area.

Tarakia: Wakool of the Baleares area.

Sal Kar: South Cameo Oil fields of the Gazi area.
Touring Service

20
Deploy to every Battlefield once

Take a paper and pen. Write down every area that you have gone to. Deploy with fewer parts and self-destruct. It’ll take a while, and remember to switch allegiances when possible.
Hound Specialist

20
Own one of every part in the game

This one is easy now. Downloadable parts aren’t needed. Get all the parts from the campaign and buy the other parts in the garage. Save up money, and buy all the parts for the nation you’re in. After the war is over, switch to the other country and do the same. Repeat for the last country.
