The Sound Of Silence

Gone With The Windflare

Gamer Score: 5

Kill 15 enemies using the environment during a windflare. During the wind storms, look for opportunities to destroy enemy cover or to send weakened structures hurtling towards foes. Take out 15 enemies across all Campaign playthroughs to earn Gone With the Windflare.

Look out! Uh… Never Mind

Gamer Score: 5

Kill 25 enemies by dropping pods on them. During the campaign, pods that hang from above can be released by shooting the tendrils that support them. Shoot through the tendrils to drop the pods onto enemies for easy kills. Best performed during Acts 2 through 4.

But You Can’t Pick Your Family

Gamer Score: 5

Find 5 weapons in snot bubbles. Be on the lookout for silvery shiny globs of organic matter clinging to the ceiling, beginning in Act 2. Many of these “snot bubbles” contain powerful weapons like the Mulcher or Boomshot. Shoot the ropy material to free the weapons.

Killdozer

Gamer Score: 5

Run over 15 enemies with the Silverback Loader. You’ll obtain a Silverback Loader in Act 3, Chapter 6. Hold the Run Button just as you would if roadie running and use the Loader to trample over the Juvies and Drones that attack as you descend the mine. You’ll have another chance with the Loader in Act 4.
