==================================================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------F.E.A.R. Achievement Guide------------------------------------- --------------------------Written by shadowdude55 (gamertag: shadowdude55)-------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==================================================================================================== This is my first attempt at a guide, so constructive criticism would be appreciated. For more info and tips on any of these achievements, check out A360P’s F.E.A.R. forum. 1. Survivalist Complete the Campaign on any difficulty without dying. [150 Points] Pretty self-explanatory. You have to get from the start of the game to the end of the game without dying. If you ever see the red screen at all, you won’t get it, because the game has an incredibly fast save system. If you quit before you die, though, you can still get it. After my third try, my best advice is this: Do it on low (duh :)), don’t go crazy with grenades, and always shoot explosive barrels when you’re pretty far away from them. Oh, and don’t touch Alma. ;) User FLO the snucka adds some tips on the forums: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My best piece of advice would be to play on low, after playing through once or twice on a harder difficulty. I say this because I felt like i had a certain feel for the game that really helped me get through with ease. What I mean is, I tried the fearsome achievement first so i really got a feel for what it was like to play on extreme. In other words, play low like you would play extreme. Take it slow. Take every ladder down, don't do any fancy acrobatics off the second story catwalks or anything, except for the one part where you have to jump on the vent and fall way down. Medkits and armor are vital, keep them as full as possible -- no exceptions. Get all the boosters you can and try not to let your health drop below even 100 just to be safe. You may want to consider getting all your boosters in this one run. You may not feel like it, but you need every last unit of health you can get, just in case. Be prepared. Know what's coming and what you'll need. Bring your favorite weapons and keep them stocked. Don't forget how useful the shotgun is. This is one gun you will never run out of ammo for no matter how many guys you kill, and is effective from a longer range than you might think. This is a great weapon for emergencies. And I wouldn't advise using kicks and what not unless you're pro, they hurt more than help. You usually wanna take down guys as quick as possible. Abuse slow-mo. Abuse every ounce, but still remember, you need it way more for the mechs and heavily-armored guys (with the blue eyes and often penetrators), not to mentions when you're outnumbered. But honestly above all, low difficulty is incredibly easy. If you know anything about FPS's you'll blow right through it. With that said, I felt like it was much more likely that i was going to kill myself than get killed, so watch your grenades and always blow up explosive barrels from a safe distance before getting into gunfights around them. Watch out for Alma. If you touch her, you die. Period. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Fearsome Complete the Campaign on Extreme difficulty. [100 Points] This one is easier than some of the other ones, because you can pick everything up and die without worrying. Always use SlowMo when you can, use cover, and aim for the head. Look everywhere for medkits, and finding extra boosters never hurt, either. 3. No Juice Complete the Campaign on any difficulty without using any boosters. [65 Points] One of the easier campaign achievements. Just don’t go near any boosters. You can die, you can do it on low, and you can use medkits. Take your time, and don’t worry about the enemies. 4. Real Time Complete the Campaign on any difficulty without using SlowMo. [65 Points] One that gave me some trouble. Not because it was hard to finish the game without SlowMo, but because I accidentally hit LB when I didn’t want to. Take your time (like always), and try not to use your left hand for anything other than the control stick. 5. Fearless Flagman Successfully capture 50 flags in ranked CTF or SlowMo CTF games. [75 Points] Play a lot of CTF, and score a lot. 6. MP 1000 Participate in 1000 ranked Multiplayer games of any type. [75 Points] No real tips, just play a lot of ranked multiplayer. 7. Multiplayer Victory Win any ranked Deathmatch, SlowMo Deathmatch, or Elimination Multiplayer game. [75 Points] If you get MP 1000, you will get this. Win one game online – that’s it. 8. Fearless Win the Campaign on any difficulty except Low. [35 Points] You can get this at the same time as Fearsome. If you don’t want that one, just do it on moderate. 9. Explorer Find every Health Booster and Reflex Booster in the single player campaign. [35 Points] A tough one to get. You really should use the guide on GameFAQs.com. They don’t allow direct links to guides, so you’ll have to search for it. 10. Exterminator Kill every enemy in the Campaign. [35 Points] Three words: Take your time. You have to kill every enemy, not just the ones that attack you. Obviously, do it on low, and search every area. Double check every area, and make sure everyone is dead, and not just unconscious. When you have to ride the elevator with Alice Wade, get out on each level, kill everyone, then get back in. Also, there’s a tricky part on Interval 5: Blindside. On our forum, jasonj79 gives some tips: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, its on Interval 5: Blindside The part where your facing off against the ATC. You come up to a railing and there is two guards across the way firing at you. You have to jump on a air conditioning shaft and fall into the water. Ok, the first guy is easy to see and kill. The second will get hit, fall down but get back up after a second. So you think you kill him at first but he doesn't die. He gets knocked unconscious. The same thing has happened with this guy all three times. So don't jump down that shaft until you know he is dead. I actually found this out by accident. I thought I had eliminated both guards and I was hesitant about jumping down that shaft. I was trying to make sure I didn't mess up so I could get the survivalist achieve. All of a sudden I saw him get back up. I got to thinking about it and I didn't even remember killing a second guy there the first time through. Now, this may or may not happen when you guys play, but I do know its happened to me three different times now. Three times I have seen this guy have trouble dying. Like I said above this was the key to me not getting the achievement the first time around. Once you fall on that shaft there is no going back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. Ammo Hog Win the Campaign using less than 500 rounds of ammo. [35 Points] Abuse Slow-Mo. Abuse it. Literally run past everyone, and DON’T FIRE at all. You really should only have to shoot near the end, when the ghosts come for you, and when you have to shoot Alma. Only use your pistol there, too. 12. No Fear Win every Instant Action map on Extreme difficulty. [35 Points] Just like Fearsome in the campaign. Take your time, use SlowMo, and search for medkits. If you die once, it’s over, so don’t die. 13. Demolitions Expert Kill 200 enemies with the N6A3, AT-S or M77 in any ranked Multiplayer games. [35 Points] You should get this through normal online play. If you just want it, chuck grenades like mad in every game. 14. Dead Eye Kill 150 enemies with Headshots in any ranked Multiplayer games. [35 Points] Easier than it sounds. Just about every other shotgun kill I get is a headshot, so the game is pretty generous about giving these out. 15. Initiation Complete Interval 2 in the Campaign. [5 Points] Just play through the game. 16. Water Treatment Facility Complete Interval 3 in the Campaign. [5 Points] Just play through the game. 17. Armacham Complete Interval 7 in the Campaign. [5 Points] Just play through the game. 18. Slums Complete Interval 8 in the Campaign. [5 Points] Just play through the game. 19. Secret Facility Complete Interval 10 in the Campaign.[5 Points] Just play through the game. 20. Intel Gather every phone message and lap top in the Campaign. [5 Points] Search for the glowing red lights. There’s a guide on GameFAQs, but like the boosters, I can’t link directly to it. 21. Explosives Expert Kill 3 or more enemies with a single N6A3, AT-S or M77 in the Campaign or Instant Action. [5 Points] Play on low, and chuck a grenade into a group of at least three guys. It’s more luck than skill, so reload your checkpoint if you have to. 22. Environmentalist Kill 10 enemies with barrels, fire extinguishers or fuse boxes in the Campaign or Instant Action. [5 Points] Simple, and one of the first achievements you should get. When an enemy is near an explosive barrel, fire extinguisher, or fuse box, shoot it, and said enemy should die. 23. Slow Jo Kill 5 enemies with one SlowMo use in the Campaign or Instant Action. [5 Points] You have to kill 5 dudes in one use of SlowMo. From our forums, user Ive Been Jipped details a prime location to do this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start Instant Action 2 - Rooftops on Low difficulty. When the map starts, grab the Medikit and HV Penetrator in front of you. Drop off the right-hand side of the helipad. You have two guys already to your right by the vent but the trick is the three guys running through the door in this area. When the first guy comes through, wait a few seconds then throw a grenade at him - as soon as the grenade leaves your hand, hit Slo-Mo, turn around and nail the two guys by the vent with the Penetrator. The grenade explosion should take out the three guys by the door, you then kill two more with the Penetrator for the kill. Achievement unlocked! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24. Medic! Use 50 Medkits in the Campaign or Instant Action. [5 Points] I believe this has to be all in one play through, but still incredibly easy. 25. Bullet Sponge Use 50 armor vests in the Campaign or Instant Action. [5 Points] Same as Medic!, just collect 50 vests in one play through. 26. Feared Complete every Instant Action map on any difficulty except Low. [5 Points] This one is simple. You’ll get it if you go for all of them on Extreme. If you just want this one, take your time, and use a lot of SlowMo. 27. Team Victory Win 5 each of ranked CTF, SlowMo CTF, TDM, SlowMo TDM, and Team Elimination games in Multiplayer. [5 Points] Simply play a lot of multiplayer online, and you should have it in no time. 28. MP 100 Participate in 100 rank Multiplayer games of any type. [5 Points] Self-explanatory. Play 100 online ranked games. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For all of the “Kill 50 enemies…” achievements, follow these tips. For the ones that use a weapon you can spawn with, just start with it, and kill a bunch of enemies. For weapons you have to find on a map, stand near the spawn, wait, then pick it up and kill. These are going to take a little longer. Almost every weapon besides the G2A2 and shotgun seems underpowered, so if you’re only getting a few kills per match, don’t feel like you suck. =P Keep at it, and you’ll have all of these achievements before you know it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 29. Assaulter Kill 50 enemies with the G2A2 in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 30. Sub-Jugator Kill 50 enemies with the RPL in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 31. Dual Machinist Kill 50 enemies with the SM15 in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 32. Repeating Offender Kill 50 enemies with the MP-50 in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 33. PumpShotty Ownage Kill 50 enemies with the VK-12 in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 34. Grenadier Kill 50 enemies with the N6A3 in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 35. Rocketman Kill 50 enemies with the MOD-3 in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 36. Perforator Kill 50 enemies with the 10mm HV Penetrator in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 37. Pistoleer Kill 50 enemies with the AT-14 in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 38. Disintegrator Kill 50 enemies with the Type-7 in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 39. Trap Layer Kill 50 enemies with the AT-S in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 40. Sapper Kill 50 enemies with the M77 in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 41. Sniper Kill 50 enemies with the ASP in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 42. Brawler Kill 50 enemies with Punches or Rifle Butts in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 43. Black Belt Kill 50 enemies with Round House Kicks, Flying Kicks, or Slide Tackles in any ranked MP games. [5 Points] 44. Belly Gunner Kill 50 enemies with the turret in any ranked Multiplayer games. [5 Points] 45. Afraid Finished a Multiplayer game with a negative score. [0 Points] Kill yourself a lot. Just do it in solo, and not on a team, please. =P 46. Suicide King Killed yourself 5 times. [0 Points] Do it in campaign. It’s over the course of one entire play through, but the easiest way would be to kill yourself with a grenade or barrel, load the save, and repeat four times. 47. Vermin Badge You killed 5 rats and crows. [0 Points] This one is actually kind of tricky. Rats tend to hang out in sewers and underground areas. Crows tend to hang out, well, outside. I got this before Interval 5, so it’s not that hard - you just have to shoot them before they run (or fly) away.
