Campaign Special

Each of these Achievements requires you to perform a special action. Some happen automatically as you play through; others require you to go out of your way to find a good spot to execute the challenge.

Achievement Title	Gamerscore	PSN Trophy
Hold Still!	20	Bronze
Kill 6 enemies affected by one Blinding Swarm or Firefly Swarm.
Once you have unlocked the Blinding Swarm Chaos DNI skill, simply find a group of six enemies. Deploy one Swarm at a time, and kill any enemy affected by the Swarm immediately. If you kill fast enough, the swarm has enough time to spread to six enemies.
Rolling Heavy	10	Bronze
Kill 5 enemies using one burst of Unstoppable Force.
This is best done in New World, at the end of the level; there’s a room where you are completely surrounded by robots. Use the Unstoppable Force DNI skill to destroy them all in one hit.
Sting like a Talon	20	Bronze
In Campaign, kill 20 enemies while flying the same Talon.
Keeping a Talon alive can be tricky. Generally, the key is to destroy other Talons in the area as they are most likely to target your hacked drone. A great spot to execute this is in Rise and Fall when you are demolishing the street. During this section, there are plenty of Talons and unlimited enemies breaching the rear walls.
Decimator	20	Bronze
In Campaign, kill 10 enemies in under 3 seconds.
This is best done by combining a lethal DNI skill like Immolation with a heavy weapon like a rocket launcher. A good spot to earn this is at the end of Hypocenter. Before sending the last grenade into the chamber, group the slow-moving robots together. When they are sufficiently clustered, use Advanced Immolation and a rocket to ensure you get 10 kills within the time limit.
Walking Encyclopedia	20	Bronze
Discover all of the collectibles in any mission.
Collectible locations are identified in our Campaign Walkthrough.
Curator	20	Silver
Discover all of the collectibles in the Campaign.
Collectible locations are identified in our Campaign Walkthrough.
Gun Game	20	Bronze
In Campaign, kill 5 enemies with 5 different guns in under 30 seconds.
This can be pretty tricky. You must rapidly switch between weapons and acquire enemy weapons to have enough guns to complete. Make sure you have the CopyCat Tac-Rig and look for an area where there are three enemy guns on the ground. This is best done in an area with unlimited enemies, like during the big battle in Life.
Personal Decorator	70	Gold
Earn all Decorations.
Decorations are earned by performing amazing feats, like finishing the Campaign on Realistic or earning all level Accolades. To see which Decorations need to be earned, check the cabinet in the safe house.
Doing Camo Right	10	Bronze
In Campaign, unlock all camos for any weapon.
All camo skins are unlocked when you max out a weapon’s level. Check your progress in the armory.
Maximum Firepower	10	Bronze
Take control of an ASP.
There are many A.S.P. tanks in later game levels. The first one appears on Hypocenter. Hack any of them with Remote Hijack for the Achievement.
Crackshot	10	Bronze
In Campaign, kill 5 enemies from over 100m away.
This is best done with any Sniper Rifle. A good spot to get the five kills is at the beginning of Hypocenter.
Can’t Hide	10	Bronze
In Campaign, kill an enemy through a wall or obstruction.
This will likely be the first Achievement you earn in the game. Shoot any enemy through a wall or cover (almost all weapons can penetrate normal cover).
Biff! Bap! KaPow!	10	Bronze
Kill three enemies in a melee combo.
The best place to try this is the last section of New World. There are several robots that you can practice the melee combo on.
Inertial Distance	10	Bronze
In Campaign, wall run over 250 meters.
Easier said than done! You must sieze every opportunity to Wall Run toward this accomplishment. If you don’t get it by the end of the Campaign, try going back and replaying level 2. There’s a lot of wall space in both the running and initial terrorist base segments.
For real this time	10	Bronze
Earn a Gold Rating in the training simulator.
Check the intro to the training simulator for the gold score requirement. Hit the score before you go down to earn the reward.
Foe To Friend	10	Bronze
Use an enemy combat robot to kill 10 enemies.
Use the DNI skill Protocol Override to take over a robot. It’s difficult to keep a robot alive long enough to kill 10 enemies, so you must get in front of the robot to ensure it doesn’t take any damage. Best attempted on Recruit difficulty.
Throwing Flak	10	Bronze
Kill 3 Talons with a single mid-air grenade detonation.
This is very tricky as you must perfectly time the grenade explosion. Talons do tend to attack in threes throughout the Campaign. An excellent place to try this is when detonating the street on the level Rise and Fall.
Unlocked Potential	10	Bronze
Fully upgrade a Cybernetics Core.
To earn this, you must unlock and upgrade every single DNI skill in one of the Cybernetics Cores.
Lock, Stock, And Then Some	10	Bronze
In Campaign, unlock all attachments for any weapon.
Each weapon has a set of attachments that unlocks as you level up the weapon. To see the requirements for each attachment, examine the weapon in the Armory while visiting the safe house.
In Their Sleep	10	Bronze
In Campaign, kill 5 stunned enemies in under 3 seconds.
There are several different ways you can stun enemies. The easiest is to Emp Grenade a group of five or more robots, and then kill them with a grenade or rocket.
