XBOX 360 ACHIEVEMENTS LIST

Earn the Achievement to get the corresponding amount of GamerPoints added to your GamerScore. The total for all of them is 1,000G.

1. Death to Dictators (15G) – Take down Castro with a headshot in mission 1.

2. Sacrifice (10G) – Ensure your squad escapes safely from Cuba.

3. Vehicular Slaughter (25G) – Destroy all enemies on vehicles during the prison break in mission 2.

4. Slingshot Kid (15G) – Destroy all slingshot targets in 3 attempts in mission 2.

I cannot provide any type of explanation for you because this type of achievement is based on a certain area that you need to aim in, in order to destroy these targets in 3 attempts. So follow exactly where I aim at each point of the video, you may need to pause right before I start to pull back on the slingshot so you know where to aim prior to me pulling on it.

If you happen to miss one, you do not need to replay the entire level again unless you want to. But instead, press the start button and then select Save and Quit. Then resume your campaign game and it will start you off from the last checkpoint which should be right in front of the building.

5. Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death (10G) – Escape Vorkuta.

6. VIP (10G) – Receive orders from Lancer.

7. A Safer Place (10G) – Sabotage the Soviet space program.

8. Tough Economy (15G) – Use no more than 6 TOW guided missiles to destroy the tanks in the defense of Khe Sanh in mission 5.

This is at the end of the S.O.G. mission, which is the 5th mission. If you happen to miss a tank while using 1 of the TOW guided missiles, simply kill yourself with the TOW guide missile. If you cannot kill yourself, quickly press start and then select Save and Quit.

If a new checkpoint has not been saved yet, it will start you where the last checkpoint was either before or during the defense. Your achievement will still unlock if you missed one during the defense and killed yourself to start from the last checkpoint.

9. Looks Don’t Count (10G) – Break the siege in the battle of Khe Sanh.

10. Raining Pain (15G) – Rack up a body count of 20 NVA using air support in Hue City.

You can only get this achievement during mission 6, The Defector. When you grab the radio off the soldier, just keep using air support to kill enemies and you will get it easily in no time. There are more than enough enemies to kill with it.

11. The Dragon Within (15G) – Kill 10 NVA with Dragon’s Breath rounds.

You will be given the Dragon’s Breath as soon as you start The Defector which is Mission 6.

This will be a very easy achievement to get as there are a lot of NVA to kill with this shotgun. I show you there are more to kill after I have unlocked the achievement as well in case you do not get it as earlier as I do in this video.

12. SOG Rules (10G) – Retrieve the dossier and the defector from Hue City.

13. Heavy Hand (15G) – Use the Grim Reaper to destroy the MG emplacement.

You use the Grim Reaper during the 9th mission, Victor Charlie. You will need to use the Grim Reaper just before the area with the MG emplacement up a hill to destroy an anti-air gun.

Keep the Grim Reaper afterwards and do not use it as you have limited ammo. Then use it on the MG emplacement once it is unveiled.

14. Up Close and Personal (15G) – Silently take out 3 VC.

You should easily get this achievement during the 9th mission, Victor Charlie. It is basically just a story progression achievement and there should not be a way to mess up on it as you sneak up on each 1 of these VC once you have entered the 2nd part of the river at the beginning.

15. Double Trouble (10G) – Use only dual wield weapons to escape Kowloon. — Use only the default weapons to finish the mission with.

16. Broken English (10G) – Escape Kowloon.

17. Lord Nelson (25G) – Destroy all targets and structures while making your way up the river in mission 10, Crash Site.

18. Never Get Off the Boat (10G) – Find the Soviet connection in Laos.

19. Pathfinder (50G) – Guide the squad through the Soviet outpost without them getting killed.

This is at the beginning of mission 11, WMD. It is a very easy achievement to get; you just need to make sure that while you guide them to safety each time. When you leave the first building you will need to command the squad to shoot the 2 enemies in the back before they spot you. Then you will need to press the specified stick depending on the platform you are playing on for the squad to dig in so they do not get spotted by the large patrol passing by. Then assault the barracks and after that, you just need to move your squad up the road without any resistance. The achievement will unlock right after that when the cutscene takes over.

20. Mr. Black OP (50G) – Enter the Soviet relay station undetected in mission 11.

This is during mission 11, WMD. You will need to simply do as the achievement description states. It will the station down the hill that you enter after having repelled down the mountain and went down the steps from another building that you repelled into the window.

The best way is to just simply kill everyone in the order that I do, that way you leave no chance of alerting the other enemies. I switch between the Crossbow and AUG as I kill the enemies. Though you can take them out any way you like or the same; just make sure not to raise the alarm.

21. With Extreme Prejudice (25G) – Get to the POW compound in the Hind using only rockets.

This is during the 12th mission, Payback. When you get into the Hind you need only to make sure you use rockets to kill all the enemies and not the 12mm gun. The most annoying part of this achievement will be taking out the 2 helicopters at the end just before you reach the POW compound. Just take your time and maneuver a lot around both of them as you shoot at the helicopters. Also anticipate when to shoot as the helicopters will likely move by the time you shoot at them.

22. Russian Bar-B-Q (15G) – Incinerate 10 enemies with the flamethrower attachment in the POW compound.

The POW compound is in mission 12, Payback. You will come across the POW compound after you have landed the Hind. At the entrance there will be the AK47 Flamethrower, this is what you are going to pick up and use for this achievement. Then as you move through the compound, use the flamethrower on everyone you come across. There will be enough people and then a few extra that you will come across to have enough for you to get this achievement on your first try.

23. Light Foot (30G) – Escape the ship with 2:15 left on the timer in Veteran, in mission 8, Project Nova.

24. Some Wounds Never Heal (10G) – Escape the Past.

25. I Hate Monkeys (15G) – Kill 7 monkeys in under 10 seconds in the Rebirth labs.

For this achievement you have to kill 7 monkeys in less than 10 seconds in the Rebirth Labs.

Rebirth Labs is located in Mission 13 called “Rebirth.” There will be a lot of monkeys you come across once you have entered the facility. However, the best location to kill 7 monkeys in less than 10 seconds will be just before you exit this area you entered after exiting the elevator shaft.

You will want to cook a grenade and throw it into this specific corner of cages filled with monkeys that you come across before heading to the next room. To cook a grenade hold the RB button down for a few seconds but not too long as you will kill yourself if you do. Then throw the grenade to the cages and you should kill 7 or at least 7 monkeys. If you do not, quickly kill the monkeys in other cages in the surrounding area fast. At the end of the video I show there are more monkeys.

26. No Leaks (50G) – Make it through the NOVA 6 gas without dying on Rebirth Island.

27. Clarity (10G) – Crack the code. All you have to do is complete mission 14: Revelations to received it, I was playing on hardened difficulty mode. — Thanks to dlivr12ursukole for the tip.

28. Double Whammy (15G) – Destroy both helicopters with one Valkyrie rocket from the deck of the ship.

This is just shortly after you have boarded the ship during the 15th mission, Redemption.

You will want to wait until both helicopters are near each other, so when you destroy 1 of them it will knock into the other destroying that one as well.

If you do not get it, you can either kill yourself by holding a grenade and cooking it or pressing start then selecting Save and Quit then resuming the game again.

29. Stand Down (35G) – Complete the campaign on any difficulty.

30. BLACK OP MASTER (100G) – Complete the campaign on Hardened or Veteran difficulty.

31. Frag Master (15G) – Kill 5 enemies with a single frag grenade in the campaign. — You can do this in mission 1, Operation 40, after exiting Castro’s compound. You’ll see enemies arrive and group together on the square. Throw a grenade in the middle of them there.

32. Sally Likes Blood (15G) – Demonstrate killer economic sensibilities by taking down 3 enemies with a single bullet.

For this achievement you have to take down 3 enemies with a single bullet in either the regular Zombies mode or in Dead Ops Arcade.

You can access the Dead Ops Arcade game at the main menu by breaking out of the chair using the LT and RT buttons to break out then access the terminal in the back of the room. Then type “DOA” at the terminal to play the game.

This achievement is fairly easy and should only take a few tries to get it. If you are playing Dead Ops Arcade, wait until there are a group of zombies coming at you and then use your joystick to shoot the zombies coming at you. Then just keep trying till you kill 3 of them with 1 bullet. As said already, this can be done in Zombie mode too access from the main menu. An easy weapon you could get this with is an LMG, Ray Gun or even a shotgun.

33. Unconventional Warfare (15G) – Use the explosive bolts to kill 30 enemies in the campaign.

You will get the crossbow with explosive bolts during mission 4, Executive Order. You will only have a limited amount of explosive tips to use on enemies so use them wisely. You can shoot the tip in the general area or at somethin, so you can kill more than one enemy with the explosive tips. This can be anywhere from frorm a barrel, to a vehicle or just simply at the ground.

You should have no trouble getting this achievement, however, you can replay the mission again if you use all your ammo. There are more than enough enemies throughout the rest of the mission to kill so there will be no trouble with not having enough to kill.
