Achievement Guide & Roadmap
Rights of use:
This guide is for the use of x360a.org only and may not be used without the permission of the Author or Website Admin. Info:
x360a Everyone who's given achievement help/videos ![]() Overview: Estimated achievement difficulty: 6/10 Offline: 35 [700 Online: 15 [300 Approximate time:10-20hrs [Campaign] & 35+hrs [Online] + 6 Months Later Minimum number of play-throughs needed: 1 [Recommend 2] Missable achievements: 0 Does difficulty affect Achievements? Yes Unobtainable/glitched achievements: Tooled Up, Start Spreading the News & Dedication [Please see Roadmap and Guide below for more info] Introduction: Welcome to Crysis 2. Crysis 2 takes place in the near future and you play as Alcatraz, a once former Marine but has now been given the Nanosuit 2.0 and told to protect New York City. During the game you'll be given powers like Stealth and Armour to help you fight a losing battle against the CELL [Humans] and the CEPH [Alien]. Overall this game shouldn't prove to difficult to get the full 1000 Here's how the Roadmap will be laid out:
I've stated in the overview that the game can be completed in one playthrough and this is still true, but it may be recommended to do 2 to save you the trouble. The game has a Game+ feature meaning if you play through on Easy or Normal to start and complete it, you can then head over onto Supersolier with all your last game upgrades and complete it faster and with no trouble. If you want to get the achievements out the way fast, then head straight onto Supersolier as its unlocked right at the beginning. All the difficulty achievements stack, so completing the game on Supersolier will also net you any Veteran and other difficulty achievements as you play through and the end. You'll also come across many story related achievements that cannot be missed and will just be gained as you progress through the campaign at certain spots! Here's a list full list of the Story related achievements:
Misc Story: During the campaign they'll be certain things you'll need to do or look out for to gain those extra achievements. A fair few of them can be gained quite early on, but some can't until a little later on in the game. These achievements simply consists of killing X amount of enemies a certain way to not getting caught on a certain part of the story. Don't worry if you miss some of them as you can go back anytime via the level select menu and make your way back to the spot and gain the achievements. Here's a full list of the Misc Story achievements:
Collectables: They're multiple types of collectable in the whole campaign but only one of them is tied to an achievement and that is the Souvenirs, which you'll have to collect 18 in total. Also feel free to look out for the Dog Tags, Car Keys and E-Mails, which will only unlock bonus content in the Extras menu. Here's the only achievement linked to the Collectables:
For the multiplayer you'll have a few achievements to gain and some of them will take up the bulk of your time. Most are simple but a few cause you to play to the top ranks and one even to play the game 6 months later! Some of the achievements can be boosted, but none can be gained via the clock change cheat or a Private Match. Here's a full list of the Multiplayer achievements:
Glitches: There seems to be a few glitchy achievements at the moment - Tooled Up, Start Spreading the News & Dedication. Tooled Up: There seems to be a bug going around that even though you've brought all the weapons, the achievement doesn't unlock. No one really knows what's causing it and some people don't encounter anything, but here's some ways that might fix it. Perks do not count towards this achievement plus using the level up code with the LE game may or may not effect your outcome. Some people state that this does effect it while others say that you need to buy the guns in order, but the truth is it could be both or any of them. If by any chance you've brought everything and the achievement hasn't unlocked, you may need to either play a few more games for it to register or get to level 50 and prestige. But before you prestige make sure you have brought everything. The last alternative that may fix it is to equip everything from each gun its attachments. Above are just ideas I'm throwing about to save you from really doing the levelling up grind all over again. If none of these methods work, then you have 2 choices. Level up to rank 45 again and buy everything again or wait for a possible patch from Crytek. Start Spreading the News: For some reason if you play on Supersoldier as your first playthrough, you'll unlock everything difficulty wise bar this achievement. The only way to fix this is to select the first mission again once you've completed the game and play through quickly on Easy. It shouldn't take you more that 2-3 hours if you stealth/skip past everything when possible! I recommend you follow the Supersoldier tips I've given below to make it go extremely fast. I personally completed Supersoldier as a 2nd playthrough in about 2 1/2 hours, so on easy it should be a lot less! Dedication: This achievement is pretty screwed to put it bluntly. The achievement is supposed to unlock 6 months after your first play online. Day and times do not matter, just the month. People are now logging on and playing an online game but the achievement is not unlocking, and people are now into their 7th month after their original game and it's still not popped. There is not defined way to unlock this, and from what I've read it's either pure luck or you'll just have to try every new month. Hopefully Crytek and EA will fix this issue! Conclusion: Overall the game is fairly simple and shouldn't cause you any heart ache in achieving the full 100%. The only things that may take time are some of the multiplayer achievement but if you keep on top of it all, you should be good to go!

Medal of Honor 25Complete 12 levels on Supersoldier difficulty Please refer to 'Supersolider' for more details. Men of Destiny 45Complete the single player campaign on Veteran difficulty You'll unlock this achievement once you've completed the game on Veteran difficulty. This is kind of like the hard mode of games. Its not easy but its not hard. Overall, if you're an experienced FPS gamer you shouldn't have to much trouble on this. Please refer to 'Supersolider' for more details. Supersoldier 65Complete the single player campaign on Supersoldier You'll unlock this achievement once you've completed the game on Supersolier difficulty. This difficulty is open to your right at the start, though it won't be as easy as the others. Its a little harder because your powers are all at 0, where as if you play through on a lower difficulty first, you can then Game+ them all over, making this a easier ride. Once all the levels are completed on Super Solider, all the difficulty achievements above will unlock including the set level ones. Here are a few tactics to use while playing on Supersolider:
Cloak>Run>Hide>Recharge>Cloak>Run>Hide>Recharge... Close Encounters 15Single Player: Stealth kill 25 enemies You'll be taught about Stealth Kill during the 2nd level. All you need to do is go into Maximum Stealth with and come up behind any enemy without them knowing you're there. Once you're close enough wait for the prompt to pop up and press in to Stealth Kill your victum.You'll easily get this early on if you concentrate on it and through the game you should mainly be going Stealth and getting these kills! The Tourist 15Find all New York Souvenirs Theres a total of 18 Souveniers in Crysis 2 and its campaign. Most are in plan site as you make your way through each area and certain shops but there are a fair few in sneaky little places. Here's what some of them look like: ![]() ![]() For a full written guide on all the collectables please go HERE. Also below is a full video guide of the locations of each Souvenir. Fastball 15Kill 10 enemies by throwing an object at them This again is a pretty straight forward achievement. To pick an object up, walk up to it and hold . Then get close to your target and press to throw it at them. Now a normal throw probably won't be powerful enough to kill a standard human with one hit, so your best bet it to power charge it up by holding down until all your energy is used. This makes the throw a lot more powerful and will have a greater chance at killing your target a lot faster.If trying to kill the CELL/CEPH is proving difficult your best bet is to wait a little later on when you come across the Swarm CEPH. These little creatures can't harm you and take one hit to kill with semi powerful throw of most objects.

Death Grip 15Kill 10 enemies with grab and throw Another simple and easy achievement that you can get out of the way pretty soon in the game. To grab your target, walk up to them and hold . Once you've grabbed the target they will die straight away, so don't panic. Simply grab a CELL or CEPH unit and throw them anywhere for it to count.Do this another 9 times and the achievement will unlock. Popcorn 15Single Player: Kill 20 enemies with the Microwave cannon You'll come across this gun [X-43 MIKE] multiple times during the campaign. Here's what it looks like: ![]() Here are a few spots where you can find the gun:
Two Heads Are Better Than One 15Single Player: Kill two enemies with a single bullet This can be gained in the 2nd level, Second Chance. You'll obviously need to go into Maximum Stealth, so that the enemies don't notice you and are not moving around. Any gun is fine to use but make sure you only shoot one bullet, so the pistol or a single shot assault rifle will be the best idea. Line up 2 guys and aim at their heads. Shoot a single bullet to kill both of them with one hit! Blast Radius 15Single Player: Kill at least 3 enemies with a single grenade Your best chance to get this is a little later on in the 2nd level, Second Chance. First off make sure you have some grenades, so use you Visor to locate some ammo crates and see if they're holding any. Once you've obtained some, head down into the subway. Work your way through and you'll come to a gate you need to lift. First pre-load your grenades (double tap ) and then open the gate. A CELL unit will run out of the corner followed by some Swarm CEPH. Throw the grenade at his feet and let it kill all in front of you for the achievement to unlock! Headhunter 15Single Player: Kill 4 enemies in a row with headshots This is best done on the human (CELL) enemies as its a little easier to get a clean headshot. Again go into Maximum Stealth, get close and line up a headshot on your target. Take a shot and you'll get an instant kill. If you get caught, go into Stealth mode again and hide until you're safe to come out and get another clean shot! Death Slide 15Single Player: Kill 5 enemies while sliding This can be done fairly early on and pretty much in the same area as the 'Blast Radius' achievement. Once you've thrown the grenade walk around the corner and you'll see more Swarm CELL and there should be more than enough of them to kill. To slide you need to first sprint by pressing and holding in then while sprinting hold down to slide for a period of time. What gun you use doesn't matter, though some on certain targets are better, like the shotgun. I simply just kept sliding in this corridor with my assault rifle and killed all the Swarm CELL and the achievement unlocked!

Food for thought 10Kill a CELL operator with a giant donut in Lower Manhattan You can only gain this during the 2nd level, Second Chance. Shortly after learning about the Maximum Armour power you'll enter out of a building and onto a rooftop. If you look to the left corner you'll see the donut. Go into your Visor and tag all the CELL units about. After a short conversation between them all, they will split up from around the fire. Now head over to the donut and wait for one of the guys to get close and just below the donut. To make it fall you can either shoot it or by holding , but I recommend holding if you don't want to get caught. Once he's close, trigger the donut to fall and it should kill the guy and the achievement will pop up a little after the guys have rushed over to him. Hole in One 10Throw an alien down the sinkhole in Dark Heart First make sure you're on the mission 'Dark Heart'. During this mission you'll be given the objective of sabotaging some CEPH equipment. Once you start heading to the 3rd one, you'll come to a little area with the objective on your left and the sinkhole to right, down below. All you need to do is grab (hold at target) and throw (press ) them down the hole. Band of Brothers 15Keep all marines alive during the rescue in Semper Fi or Die At the start of the level, Semper Fi or Die, you'll meet up with the Marines. As soon as you have control the CEPH will start to attack you and your team. Make your way down the hill and under the broken train track to where the main attack will happen. Once there, hordes of CEPH will pop up around the battle area and attack you. Your main goal is to help defend the area and not let any of your teammates die. Its a pretty simple fight but keep an eye out, as sometimes some CEPH get behind you without you knowing it and can pick off your guys! Stay in the sight of the CEPH to draw any fire away from them and don't go into Stealth otherwise the attacks will be focused on your guys! Once all are dead, you'll be heading towards a building killing off the last few. Once you've made it inside and to the objective the achievement will unlock! Literary Agent 10Scan all of Richard Morgan's books in the NY public library On the level 'Train to Catch' you'll need to head into the burning library after defending it. Upon entering after you've made your way through the burning entrance with your Maximum Armour, look to the right to see the book shelf. Bring up your Visor ( ) and you'll see a yellow target on the top shelf. Walk up to it and press to tag it and the achievement will unlock. Stealth Assassin 15Re-route the power in Eye of the Storm without being detected In the level 'Eye of the Storm' you'll be on a prison island. To unlock this achievement you'll need to make it to your objective without being detected, so that's the bar going into the red. You should of by now, upgraded your Nanosuit and its Stealth powers. Meaning you can stay hidden for longer and your Energy will recharge faster! Use the right angled walls as cover and work your way through the complex. It may be worth before you start on your little trek, is to use your Visor and tag as many guys as you can see. This way you can see there movements and routes and plan your path before hand.

Speeding Ticket 10Break the speed limit in front of 10 speed cameras There are a total of 10 speed cameras throughout the game. They're all not visible and sometimes in a part of the level where you don't need to go. To spot a speed camera, they're a big white box attached to lampposts. Most are on the roads but some are sideways on broken rubble etc. To trigger the camera and make it give you a Speeding Ticket, line yourself up with it and simply sprint up/past it. The camera will flash and hand you a ticket, plus the game also saves. You can't repeat this on the same camera, so each one has to be done on a different one, but for a strange bit of fun you can also run past them in Maximum Stealth and it'll still catch you! Crysis, What Crysis? 35Multiplayer: Reach Rank 50 One of the long haul achievements. Play any gametype you enjoy and just work your way up to level 50. It'll take around 1.4mil worth of XP to reach the top. For a good boosting method, please go HERE. Please be warned Crytek now know the game is being abused like this are in the process of fixing it and dealing with people that maybe using it. So boost at your own risk! League of Your Own 25Multiplayer: Finish top of the Scoreboard This can be gained in any gametype. You'll need to come top of the scoreboard points wise. Use your powers wisely and mix them up depending on the situation. Maximum Stealth is the best to use for sneaky and surprise attacks. If you get caught up in the moment, use Maximum Armour to protect you against those extra bullets. The achievement will unlock once the game ends and the scoreboard is shown. These cannot be gained by playing in a Private Match. Dressed to Kill 30Multiplayer: Fully level the Nanosuit The Nanosuit is made up of 3 sections: Stealth, Armour and Power. You'll need to level all 3 of these to the top to unlock the achievement. To level each one you'll need to use the powers while playing a multiplayer game to add EXP to their bars. Getting Stealth kills, using Armour to protect yourself and take damage etc will all add to it. The Power bar will level over time as its a mix of everything that you do during a game. The max level for each power is 12. Tooled Up 30Multiplayer: Unlock all the weapons Has been known to be a bit Gltchy, though I had no trouble with it. As you level up in the multiplayer you'll unlock Gun Tags which mean you can purchase a new gun. Use these to buy all the primary/secondary guns and the explosives and the achievement will unlock. You'll unlock the last Gun Tag at around level 45 and here's a list of what you need to purchase for the achievement to unlock:
Above are just ideas I'm throwing about to save you from really doing the levelling up grind all over again. If none of these methods work, then you have 2 choices. Level up to rank 45 again and buy everything again or wait for a possible patch from Crytek. The Cleaner 25Get 1 of each Skill Kill Skill Kills are unique kills preformed while playing multiplayer. There's a total of 23 you'll need to preform to make the achievement unlock. To find out which ones you've preformed and still need to get go to Operative Status>Service Record>General Tab and then scroll down to the bottom. You'll get most of them without realising it as you play but some like 'Psycho' are hard to get and may need to be boosted. These cannot be gained by playing in a Private Match. Here's a full list of each Skill Kill you'll need to preform:
Cry Spy 25Multiplayer: Get 30 Spot Assists Spot Assists are easy but they mean you'll may need to take a back seat while playing. They can only be gained via team type games though, so not in a FFA. This is pretty much the same as the campaign, so go into your Visor ( ) and scout the map for the other team players. Once you've spotted one, hover over them and they'll be tagged.Now thay they're tagged, they will pop up on your teammates HUD. Now all you need to do is hopefully wait for them to kill the guy you tagged for you to get a Spot Assist EXP. Preform 29 more and the achievement will unlock. These cannot be gained by playing in a Private Match. Jack of all Trades 25Multiplayer: Win a match of every game mode Here's a list of the gametypes you'll need play and win on:

I just got to level 50, it actually takes closer to 1.5 mil, a little more than 1.47 mil. I got a little frustrated that I was 10,000 xp away from 1.4 million and just got to level 49. Figured in case other people are like me.

True Achievements is hands down the best website for achievements and achievement boosting. The calender they have there is amazing. For anyone that wants to boost, that's the place to be.

Think I'm done on the guide!
Over the last few days I've added a fair bit of info. Supersoldier achievement now has what best upgrades to buy, so I recommend using them if you want a smooth right! I think I've added a fair few locations on where to grab the 'microwave' gun. So look out for them as most are near the end of the game! I've updated most of the MP achievements with much better info. I've gained all achievements in the MP now, so I've had a good time to look at everything in detail and add it to the guide. If there is anything else you guys think may need to be added or fixed just let me know, but I'm quite happy with the outcome! Happy hunting!

Hi folks, I can confirm that you don't need to play the map named Liberty Island to unlock the Nomad achievement. I've never even seen it appear, yet still unlocked this one today after my first game on Terminal

I don't understand, I did plenty of ranked matches with 7~8 players and the achievement {TEAM PLAYER} didn't unlock! Do I have to play with friends only? Or is it glitched?

what does this exactly mean. Does this mean I have to play it on supersoldier or can I just play last level.
" If you start on this difficulty and complete the last level, all the difficulty achievements above will unlock including the set level ones."
