COLLECTABLE XBOX 360 ACHIEVEMENTS LIST

1. Not On My Watch (25G) – Protect Chaffin from the soldiers in the street in Operation Swordbreaker.

2. Involuntary Euthanasia (25G) – Kill the 2 soldiers before the building falls on them in Uprising.

This can be done in the “Uprising” mission, when your objective is to “Fight Your Way Back to Extraction Point”. After going through some sort of garage you will see a bus, blocking your way. Take a look outside the driver’s window on the far right. When you are fast enough you will see two enemies, heading in your direction. They have flashlights so simply shoot the glowing spots in the dark.

3. The Professional (30G) – Complete the street chase in Comrades in under 2 minutes 30 seconds without dying.

This mission is best done on Easy difficulty mode. The timer begins to count as soon as you take your gas mask off. Run as fast as you can and ignore all the enemies that are not directly in your way.

4. Army of Darkness (30G) – Shoot out the 4 lights with 4 bullets in Night Shift.

This event will occur at the very beginning of the Night Shift mission. You can’t miss it, but the trophy / achievement can easily be missed. To shoot down a light you have to shoot the point of the rope above the light precisely. Hold your breath to avoid unwanted shocking.

5. Practice Makes Perfect (15G) – Headshot each of the targets in the gun range in Kaffarov.

After fighting your way through the villa you will come to an dark underground area. You are told to take an other route that will lead you through the gun range. In each room are some training targets, 14 in total. You have to headshot them! Make sure you don’t shoot any by accident when fighting the enemies. Simply reload the latest Checkpoint when you mess up.

6. What the Hell *Are* You? (20G) – Take a russian Dog Tag in the forest ambush in Rock And A Hard Place.

Surprise the enemies without a ski-mask and melee them or simply kill them all to get the Dog Tag. If you fail, you can retry by reloading the checkpoint. — Alternatively, it’s said that when you are ambushed at the start of the mission, you can knife the first enemy soldier you see to get the Dog Tag.

7. Roadkill (20G) – Kick the car to kill the soldiers in Uprising.

This is at the beginning of the “Uprising” mission when your objective is to “Fight Your Way Back to the Extraction Point”, after knifing the guard to get back a weapon and fighting your way through the corridor. Simply go to the car without getting the enemies attention and knock it down by using Circle (PS3) or B (Xbox 360) button.

8. You Can Be My Wingman Anytime (30G) – Complete Going Hunting in a perfect run.

It helps to play on Easy difficulty mode. Requirements for doing a perfect run are:
1. Only one shot per target (needs to be done with rockets!), never miss a shot.
2. Do not get hit by anything (fire countermeasures when enemies shoot rockets).
3. Do not reload Checkpoints.
4. You have to restart the whole mission if you mess up.

9. Scrap Metal (25G) – Destroy 6 enemy tanks before reaching the fort in Thunder Run.

Simply take out the first wave of tanks. You will encounter them in the very beginning of the mission.

10. Butterfly (25G) – Take down the jet in one attempt in Rock And A Hard Place.

If you mess up you have to restart the whole mission! You may not die. If you reload the Checkpoint or leave the game you can’t get the trophy / achievement on your current run. Keep this in mind a play carefully.

11. Twofor (15G) – Take down 2 enemies with 1 bullet in Night Shift.

In the Night Shift Mission, when your objective is to reach RV Point Bravo, after making your ways through the streets climb a ladder to reach a rooftop. Once you are on that rooftop, you’ll need to take out some enemies. Two of them are already lined up perfectly.

12. Ooh-Rah! (30G) – Complete the campaign story.

13. Between A Rock and A Hard Place (15G) – Beat Solomon, flawlessly, in The Great Destroyer.

This event takes place at the very end of the story, during the Solomon boss fight. You have to press all buttons at the right timing. Reload the Checkpoint if you mess up.

18. Car Lover (20G) – Complete the mission without losing a humvee in Operation Exodus.

19. In the Nick Of Time (20G) – Disarm the bomb in under 20 seconds in The Eleventh Hour.

This can only be done in co-op mode! It’s highly recommended to play on easy difficulty.
Soon after the mission starts you will go to the underground. After fighting the first set of enemies you’ll reach an area with a bomb that needs to be disarmed (you really can’t miss the location). There is a time over the bomb. You have to begin disarming the bomb, before the timer shows the number 40 (so basically, it’s 20 seconds to reach the bomb). A minigame will start where you have to press all shown buttons. Shouldn’t be that hard when you know where the buttons are on your Controller.

20. Bullseye (20G) – Reach and save the hostages without alerting any enemies in Drop ’em Like Liquid.

This can only be done in Co-op Mode. Time your shots with your partner (via headset) by using a countdown like “3..2..1..” before you shoot, to make it a lot easier and time your shots perfectly. You need to take out nearby enemies simultaneously. At the later parts of the mission you will face groups of 3 enemies. Your time window is always limited to 1-2 seconds only. Headshots are the key to success. Moreoever, you should make use of the tripod that comes with the Sniper Rifle (press L1 on PS3 / LB on Xbox 360).

22. Army of Two (50G) – Complete all co-op missions on Hard.

Use your silenced pistol only! The cameras may not spot you, so take them out early enough.

Jump back into the skid loader and go to a calm area, far away from enemies. Simply wait until an enemy gets into the vehicle and let the mines do their job.
