Introduction:

Left 4 Dead 2 carries on from the previous installment from another point of view, You will be introduced to Ellis, Nick, Rochelle and Coach. Much like the first game your goal is to escape the infested confines of Louisiana. You will be battling your way through hordes of Infected and a new set of Special Infected to reach your goal.

 

Breakdown:

Remember you will be playing as a team, if you feel the need to run off on your own do not expect to survive on your own. While running through the campaigns with your team use mics and communicate on a regular basis. If you don't want to play with random people use the Achievement Trading Thread to find other players.

Campaign:

Much like the previous game you need to make your way through the various campaigns, you will earn most of your achievements playing through the different levels. Some achievements will require multiple playthroughs, you will also need to complete miscellaneous tasks for various other achievements.

 

I suggest you play through each campaign at least once so you know where everything is. This will help with Expert and more advanced playthroughs.

Expert:

Before you start playing on Expert you should have found yourself a sold team, also running through the levels several times to learn the best places to defend. You will also need to communicate far more than any other difficulty due to how difficult this run may be.

 

Realism Mode:

There is one achievement linked to Realism mode, this may be one of the hardest achievements of any game series but with enough practice you will succeed. As you will have noticed, there are no player halos, weapon halos etc you will also not see player titles.

 

There is another technique to survive all campaigns on Expert, this also works for Realism Mode. This may be patched at a later date so check the forums on a regular basis.

 

Expert/Realism Exploit

 

Versus:

Take part in either surviving or playing as the Infected to stop the Survivors. Most achievement are straight forward but can be completed using two controllers using System Link.

 

If you don't have two controllers you will need to find a friend with a second controller to help you out. You shouldn't have any issues earning these achievements, but they may take a while depending on how good your team is. Just remember that communication is the key to success.

 

Scavenge:

This new game mode will test your team playing skills. You will be running around various levels collecting gas cans to fill a generator or objective. Again, this requires teamwork, but you can also use the System Link option and play with a friend locally to earn most of these achievements.

 

If you don't have access to the System Link option due to the lack of a second controller, find a good team of players to work with online. The achievements are fairly straight forward so you shouldn't have any problems.

Conclusion:

Much harder than the first, but with a far more interesting selection of levels, game modes and objectives. If you have managed to survive all the Expert and Realism objectives, beat your way through Versus and collected your fair share of gas cans. Congratulations you should be well on your way to 1000:gsicon:.

Survive all campaigns on Expert.

 

Surviving all five campaigns on Expert will prove to be a challenge. You can either do this with friends or on your own depending on how you want to face the horde of infected.

 

See "The Real Deal" for further information.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPrJ6Lo=.jpgTHE REAL DEAL - 35http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Survive a campaign on Expert skill with Realism mode enabled.

 

This is the hardest achievement to obtain. You can take this one with three other friends or with the AI.

 

You will need to:

 

  • Take your time
  • Learn the levels
  • Stay with your team
  • Practice

If you don't feel like spending hours trying to complete the campaigns on Expert or with Realism mode, you can use This Guide to ease the pain.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPspECk=.jpgCONFEDERACY OF CRUNCHES - 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Finish a campaign using only melee weapons.

 

Once you start a campaign you will find various guns, ammo, medi kits etc. There will normally be at least one melee weapon. (Axe, Nightstick, Crowbar, See "Club Head" for a full list)

 

If you are downed, you must not fire. If you use any guns including the last stand weapons this achievement will not unlock.

 

If you have picked up a gun by mistake and have a melee weapon press :ybut:. You can hold other guns but you must not fire them.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP6L+9A=.jpgHEAD HONCHO - 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Decapitate 200 Infected with a melee weapon.

 

This will come with naturally progression but you can speed up the process by using the melee weapons. Aim up at a 45 degree angle to make this a little easier.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP9rA0M=.jpgCLUB DEAD - 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Use every melee weapon to kill Common Infected.

 

There are several melee weapons to use, some of them can only be found in certain levels. You need to use a select 8 of the following weapons, use one of each until the achievement unlocks. The chainsaw and baseball bat may not count towards this achievement, you will need to use the chainsaw for "CHAIN OF COMMAND" so use it when you have the chance.

 

  • Axe
  • Chainsaw
  • Cricket Bat
  • Crowbar
  • Electric Guitar
  • Frying Pan
  • Katana
  • Machete
  • Nightstick

The baseball bat was a pre-order bonus from Gamestop. This may count towards the achievement, but you can only use this weapon when you play with someone who has entered this code into their game.

 

  • Baseball Bat

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP1KCvY=.jpgCHAIN OF COMMAND - 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Kill 100 Common Infected with the chainsaw.

 

The chainsaw spawns randomly around various campaigns. Once you do find one use it lightly by tapping the :rtbut:, doing so will prolong the fuel and allow you to kill more infected.

 

If you happen to have Boomer Bile use it to your advantage. Throw the bile and run up to all the infected with the chainsaw.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPq88ug=.jpgTANK BURGER - 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Kill a Tank with melee weapons.

 

This may be a little tricky, but it is possible with several human players. Make sure everyone on your team has a melee weapon, if there are any AI players change the difficulty to expert and kill them. Change the difficulty back to Easy/Normal and make your way through whichever level/finale you decide to do this one.

 

Once a tank shows up make sure everyone uses a melee weapon. Once the tank has been killed the achievement will unlock. If a single player fires a bullet at the tank you will have to try on another run.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPtcCns=.jpgSHOCK JOCK - 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Revive 10 dead Survivors with the defibrillator.

 

This achievement will come over time, the defibrillator will spawn randomly around the levels. Once you find one it will show up where your medi kit is stored.

 

Press :dright: to equip defibrillator while near one of your dead team mates. Aim at the dead survivor and press the :rtbut: to bring them back to life. This has to be done ten times for the achievement.

 

You cannot shoot down your own AI or team mates and bring them back to life for this achievement. Either Infected or Special Infected must kill the other players.

 

See "THE QUICK AND THE DEAD" for an alternative technique.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPl9A84=.jpgTHE QUICK AND THE DEAD - 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Revive 10 incapacitated Survivors while under the speed-boosting effects of adrenaline.

 

You can find adrenaline near where most medical supplies spawn. Sometimes they are randomly spread through the levels or inside the saferoom.

 

Once you have found an adrenaline shot hold onto it until one of the other survivors needs help. Press :ddown: to equip the adrenaline and press :rtbut: to use it. Once you are under the effects of adrenaline hold down :xbut: near the survivor that needs help.

 

Repeat this 10 times for the achievement to unlock.

 

Survival Technique:

Mode: Survival

Level: Dead Center Atrium

Players: 2 (two controllers/players)

 

Once you load the level pick up the adrenaline/defibrillator depending on the achievement you want to do. Kill the AI as they may cause you to miss out on reviving your team mate. Take the second controller or other player and throw them off the higher level of the mall complex. Run over to them and revive/defibrillat them, once you have done this press :start: and restart the round. Repeat this until you have both achievements.

Deploy an ammo upgrade and have your team use it.

 

Ammo upgrades like most other weapons can be found randomly around the levels. They look like a yellow box with a flip lid. Once you have picked up either the incendiary or explosive ammo upgrades press :dright: to deploy the ammo. Point out to whoever you are playing with or just wait for your team to pick up the ammo.

Ignite 50 Common Infected with incendiary ammo.

 

Using the previous incendiary ammo upgrade for your gun kill 50 common infected. The ammo is limited but you shouldn't have any issues earning this as it will come with naturally progression.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPzf6Dc=.jpgDISMEMBERMENT PLAN - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Kill 15 Infected with a single grenade launcher blast.

 

NOTE: This achievement doesn't always unlock while attempting. If you are having issues just keep attempting it until you succeed.

 

This can be done at any point in the game when you have the grenade launcher. Make sure you have either a pipe bomb or a bile bomb, throw it into a large group of zombies. Switch to your grenade launcher by pressing :ybut:, then blow up the group of infected huddled around the bile or pipe bomb.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP7+4YI=.jpgSEPTIC TANK - 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Use a bile bomb on a Tank.

 

While running through most of the campaigns you will find boomer bile laying around in various places. You will know when you have the bile as a bio-hazard symbol will show up where the Pipe Bomb/Molotov shows in your inventory.

 

Press :dleft: when a tank is charging around near you and throw the bile at him. Once the bile hits the achievement will pop up as the horde start to attack.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP8eGRE=.jpgCRASS MENAGERIE - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Kill one of each Uncommon Infected.

 

There are several Uncommon Infected dotting throughout the different campaigns. You may not notice them while playing but they are all level specific.

 

  • Hazmat Infected
  • Mud Men
  • Clown Infected
  • Worker Infected

You will probably earn this achievement without even knowing so just play through the campaigns and watch out for the different types of infected.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPw5DR8=.jpgDEAD IN THE WATER - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Kill 10 swampy Mudmen while they are in the water.

 

You will find the Mud Men on the Swamp Fever campaign. Spend as much time in the water as you can and kill as many infected as possible. Mud Men run around on their hands and feet so they are quite easy to spot.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP3Z9Yw=.jpgROBBED ZOMBIE - 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Collect 10 vials of Boomer vomit from infected CEDA agents you have killed.

 

Always look for the Hazmat Infected while running through Dead Center. As soon as you see them check around their bodies once you kill them to find boomer bile. They don't always have these canisters so this may take several attempts to do.

 

Once you find the bile pick it up and either user it, or you can hold onto it and wait until you find another Infected with more bile. You can then use the bile you have and pick up the freshly dropped bile.

 

Repeat this 10 times for the achievement to unlock.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP5nGE0=.jpgCL0WND - 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Honk the noses of 10 Clowns.

 

You will find the clowns on the Dark Carnival campaign, to honk a clowns noise press the :ltbut: to melee them. You will punch the clown in the face, if you keep a honking/squeaking noise you have done this correctly.

 

If you are quick enough you will be able to hit one clown several times. You can normally earn three to five honks per clown depending how fast you melee.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPxGEfg=.jpgFRIED PIPER - 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Using a Molotov, burn a Clown leading at least 10 Common Infected.

 

This achievement takes some patience, you may be able to replicate the video or you can use do this on the Finale of "Dark Carnival". On the Finale make your way to the stage, set off all the lights and make sure you pick up a Molotov from the surrounding area. Get onto the stage and stand near the PA system you use to set off the music.

 

You will hear the horde and if you look to the opposite site of the stage you will see the horde coming up the stairs near the PA speakers. Throw the Molotov behind the speakers and down towards the stairs. Normally there will be a clown running with the group, if this doesn't work keep trying.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP2m6Ws=.jpgLEVEL A CHARGE - 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Kill a Charger with a melee weapon while they are charging.

 

Killing a Charger with a melee weapon may take a few tries. You will need to shoot him a couple of times to waste his health and then switch to a melee weapon to finish him off.

 

This is a lot easier with a friend or by using two controllers in System Link. The following video will show you how to do so.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPgEApI=.jpgACID REFLEX - 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Kill a Spitter before she is able to spit.

 

Once you spot the Spitter make sure you have a long range weapon, normally she will hide in the distance or within a group of Common Infected. This is more trial an error than anything. Just keep trying and you should earn this without to many issues. This may also unlock in Versus Mode.

 

NOTE: Turn on your closed captioning, this will help you see when a Spitter is near by.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPnk+gE=.jpgA RIDE DENIED - 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Kill a Jockey within 2 seconds of it jumping on a Survivor.

 

Once the Jockey has pounced one of the Survivors make sure you're close enough to shoot him off. Hitting the :ltbut: doesn't always knock him off. Just be ready to fire when you see the Jockey pounce. This is also another achievement which revolves around trial and error. Versus Mode may also count towards this.

 

NOTE: Turn on your closed captioning, this will help you see when a Jockey is near by.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPvF87Q=.jpgSTACHE WHACKER - 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Prove you are faster than Moustachio.

 

Campaign: Dark Carnival

Level 4: The Barns

 

You will find this Wack-A-Mole type game before you leave the gaming area and head into the barns. If you have closed captioning on you will see when the game is close. Walk up to the machine and press :xbut: to start the game, either use a gun or a melee weapon to hit the popping heads.

 

You will need to continue the game about three times to read the target score of 42. Just keep playing until the machine shorts out and breaks. The achievement will unlock once you break the game.

Prove you are stronger than Moustachio.

 

Campaign: Dark Carnival

Level 4: The Barns

 

Before you enter this level play through the previous so you can find yourself an adrenaline shot. Make sure you have a melee weapon and head out the saferoom to your left. Use the adrenaline and hit the big red pad in front of the strong man game. Once you hit the bell the achievement will unlock.

Rescue Gnome Chompski from the Carnival.

 

Campaign: Dark Carnival

Level 2: The Fairground

 

If you have captions on you will see the shooting gallery making noises. Run straight from the saferoom across the gallery, you need to score over 750 points by shooting the various targets. Just to the right of the gallery you will see how many points you will earn for each target, watch out of for the peanut as he will lower your score by 100 points.

 

Once you win a box to the right of the gallery will open up and reward you with Gnome Chompski. Allocate whoever will carry the gnome and make your way to the end of the campaign. Do not drop the gnome, some points on the roller coaster will cause you to loose him and you will have to either die or start over.

 

Once you get to the Finale do not drop the gnome, hold onto him for dear life until the credits role. If you drop him before the campaign ends you will not earn the achievement.

Defend yourself at the crashed airliner without taking damage.

 

Campaign: Swamp Fever

Level 2: The Swamp

 

This is a lot easier than it seems. Once you get to the plane open the door and huddle between the seats either to the right of the door or as the videos shows to the right. The AI will kill off most, if not all of the infected so you can see back and wait.

 

The AI can take damage but you must not take any, this is the same for other players. Anyone who wants to earn the achievement must not take any damage.

 

Check your health before you start this as if it becomes lower at any point, you will need to start over.

Navigate the sugar mill and reach the safe room without killing any Witches.

 

Campaign: Hard Rain

Level 2: Sugar Mill

 

Make your way through the sugar mill, make sure to keep your light off and follow the edge of each building and area. Witches don't startle as easy unlike Left 4 Dead, so when you see a witch just keep running.

 

There are six or seven witches to avoid through the whole level, just make sure you don't shoot any of them.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP7n2cY=.jpgVIOLENCE IN SILENCE - 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

Navigate the impound lot and reach the cemetery safe room without tripping any alarms.

 

Campaign: The Parish

Level 3: The Cemetery

 

Make your way through the level until you enter the sewers. Once you have found the ladder to make your way out you will be under a freeway with several cars around you. Do not attempt to jump on any of the cars that have flashing lights. As soon as you exit the sewer you will see two white cars in front of you, jump onto the white and then make a dash for the other end of the impound lot. As long as you don't shoot the cars or set of any alarms in this area, the achievement will unlock once you get to the safe room.

Cross the bridge finale in less than three minutes.

 

Campaign: The Parish

Level 5: The Bridge

 

This may take a few attempts, doing this with two people is faster than trying to get from one side to the other using the AI. Always keep to the left and use a pipe bomb towards the end of the bridge to distract the infected.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP0mKOA=.jpgHEARTWARMER - 20:gsicon:

In a Versus round, leave the saferoom to defibrillate a dead teammate.

 

You will need to pick up a defibrillator and make your way to the saferoom on any level. You do not need to close the door, just enter and then leave again. Make your way back to a dead survivor and revive them using the defibrillator

 

See "LONG DISTANCE CARRIER"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPzG0HM=.jpgSTRENGTH IN NUMBERS - 15:gsicon:

Form a team and beat an enemy team in 4v4 Versus or Scavenge.

 

This must be done online, you must also be playing against human players to start the match.

 

This may be one of the last achievements you earn due to how difficult it can be to obtain. You cannot use four players with two controllers each. Team up with three other people and use the Versus/Scavenge team game option.

 

You need to beat another team of human players for this achievement to unlock. There isn't much else to add to this achievement other than keep at it until you win.

 

Use the Achievement Trading Thread to find game partners.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP-hxH0=.jpgQUALIFIED RIDE - 15:gsicon:

As the Jockey, ride a Survivor for more than 12 seconds.

 

When you spawn as the Jockey run around until you have a clear shot at a survivor. Press the :rtbut: to jump on a survivor, try to steer them as far away from the other survivors as you can. If the survivor has a full health bar you should earn this by the time you incapacitate them.

 

See "LONG DISTANCE CARRIER"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP4BPO4=.jpgBACK IN THE SADDLE - 15:gsicon:

As the Jockey, ride the Survivors twice in a single life.

 

This is fairly straight forward, wait until it's your turn to play as the Jockey. Once you spawn follow the survivors and pick off one survivor who is lagging behind. Run around the other survivors and jump on someone else.

 

You may have to try this a few times but if you play several games of Versus you should have it in no time.

 

See "LONG DISTANCE CARRIER"

As the Jockey, ride a Survivor and steer them into a Spitter's acid patch.

 

Once you spawn as the jockey communicate with your team and tell whoever is playing as the Spitter to follow you. Once you jump on a survivor have your team player spit near where you have wrangled a survivor, run them through the spit and the achievement will unlock.

 

See "LONG DISTANCE CARRIER"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP+e2Jo=.jpgGREAT EXPECTORATIONS - 15:gsicon:

As the Spitter, hit every Survivor with a single acid patch.

 

Hide around corners or follow the Survivors from behind, once you seen a good moment such as a tight space or narrow alley just ahead of the Survivors. Small rooms, houses, short hallways and tight areas work best, playing with other people will allows you to huddle in a corner.

 

See "LONG DISTANCE CARRIER"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP5+IAk=.jpgA SPITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS - 15:gsicon:

As the Spitter, spit on a Survivor being choked by a Smoker.

 

Find a partner to make this easier, you will need three controllers in total, one will play as a dummy Survivor and the other two will players will need to be Infected. Whoever wants to earn this achievement need to spawn as the Spitter, keep spawning and cycling through the Infected until you become the Spitter. The other player needs to spawn as the Smoker.

 

Once you have used your dummy account to get the correct combination of Infected have your partner grab the Survivor with his tongue. Once the Survivor is struggling fire a spit ball at the floor under the Survivor.

 

This achievement will only unlock for the person playing as the Spitter, this may seem a little tedious but it's the easiest way to do this without much hassle.

 

See "LONG DISTANCE CARRIER"

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPvcy-A=.jpgSCATTERING RAM - 20:gsicon:

As the Charger, bowl through the entire enemy team in a single charge.

 

This may seem a little tricky at first, but you can do this in any narrow hallway, or small room. Once you are lined up with the Survivors press the :rtbut: to charge through the Survivors. If you have hit every survivor you should see all of them stumble.

 

You may have to attempt this a few times if playing with the AI as they tend to move around.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPo8M2M=.jpgMEAT TENDERIZER - 20:gsicon:

As the Charger, grab a Survivor and smash them into the ground for a solid 15 seconds.

 

Once you spawn as a Charger wait until you have a clear shot of Survivors. Press the :rtbut: to charge and drag off a Survivor, once you stop the charger will automatically start slamming the Survivor into the ground. If you have managed to get far enough away from the other Survivors the animation will keep going until the survivor is dead.

 

System Link: Versus

Kill off two of the Survivors in the saferoom, exit the saferoom once the second controller is the Charger. Charge at the AI survivor and watch as your other teams partner is pummeled into the ground.

 

You need to be playing as the charger to earn the achievement. Use a guest/second controller to play as the Survivors.

 

Alternatively you can use multiple controllers with several players to build the team numbers. If you are playing with two people you need to have at least once controller set to the Infected team. Doing this allows you to pick between the infected you need achievements for. Make sure whoever needs whichever achievement players as the infected.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPgdOtY=.jpgLONG DISTANCE CARRIER - 15:gsicon:

As the Charger, grab a Survivor and carry them over 80 feet.

 

Join a Versus match and wait until you become the Charger. Make your way to an open area, run up behind the survivors and hit the :rtbut: to charge. If you have enough room you should carry off a Survivor without any issues.

 

System Link Techniques

Almost all Versus achievements can be earned in private games match or via System Link. Wait until you spawn as the various Special Infected and use their primary attacks on the Survivors.

 

You will need two controllers and possibly two players. Whoever is earning the achievements will be playing as the Infected the first time around, then swap over when you have done whichever achievements you require.

 

Use the methods supplied under each achievement and you should have all the Versus achievements in no time.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP-rwsg=.jpgBEAT THE RUSH - 15:gsicon:

In a Survival round, get a medal only using melee weapons.

 

You will earn a medal for lasting a certain amount of time on each campaign level. Pick up only melee weapons so you don't use a gun by mistake.

 

Having two AI players and two human players will work if you can't find three other players to do this. Load up any of the levels and have one person hide in a corner. Stick together and have the rest of your team protect you.

 

Bronze Medal: 4 Minutes

Silver Medal: 7 Minutes

 

If you hit four minutes and fired a gun by mistake you will have to either survive to the next medal, or choose another survival level.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP4LOls=.jpgHUNTING PARTY - 15:gsicon:

Win a game of Scavenge.

 

This should come within a few attempts of playing. Just keep playing through Scavenge until you win a game. Depending on who you play with will result in how well you do while playing. If you end up on a bad team you may have to keep trying again until you finally win.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPwqM+4=.jpgGAS GUZZLER - 20:gsicon:

Collect 100 gas cans in Scavenge.

 

The stats for this achievement carry over from round-to-round, just keep collecting gas cans until you have 100. Make your way back to the generator, fuel up and then make your way toward the other gas cans.

 

System Link Method:

Much like "CACHE AND CARRY" have a second controller sat idle or have a friend control the infected. Just keep collecting gas cans and the achievement will unlock once you hit 100.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP3Ky30=.jpgCACHE AND CARRY - 20:gsicon:

Collect 15 gas cans in a single Scavenge round.

 

If you have a good team this will come with ease. Your team needs to collect 15 gas cans in a single round for this to count.

 

System Link Method:

Use system link with two controllers, once you get into the game use your main account to collect all the gas cans you need for the achievement.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPhoIIQ=.jpgSCAVENGE HUNT - 15:gsicon:

Stop the enemy team from collecting any gas cans during a Scavenge round.

 

If your playing online this may take some practice, just keep attacking the survivors and stop them from getting back to the generator.

 

System Link Method:

Once you enter the game leave the guest account or a friend in charge of the other team. You can either attack them or just sit around waiting for the round to end. If no cans are collected the achievement will unlock.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPmI2Bc=.jpgFUEL CRISIS - 15:gsicon:

Make a Survivor drop a gas can during overtime.

 

While in a game of Scavenge you will need to run into overtime. This is done by holding onto a gas can once the timer has run out. This can be done with two players or two controllers. Once the overtime has started have whoever needs the achievement attack the survivor holding the gas can.

 

Either setup a private match or a System Link match to use either techniques.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPup0aI=.jpgGAS SHORTAGE - 20:gsicon:

Cause 25 gas can drops as a Special Infected.

 

While playing as any of the Infected in the Scavenge rounds, find a survivor and make them drop their gas can while attempting to return to the generator. Repeat this 25 times until the achievement unlocks.

 

AVATAR AWARDS

 

You will find these awards either by pressing the guide buttons and hitting left, you will then need to enter the awards option.

 

Enjoy your fun earnings from playing through left 4 dead 2 by pressing up your avatar.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/1110-handshirt.jpg Zombie Hand Shirt

A scary zombie shirt earned by killing 10,000 Indected.

 

This will unlock by killing 10,000 infected. There are several ways to earn this but playing through the campaigns until you have the desired amount.

 

You can sit in the doorway of the saferoom on Barns, while doing so you will have an endless amount of Infected to kill. This is far more tedious than just playing for fun, all kills count either online or solo.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/1110-pack.jpg Med Kit

A Med Kit earned by beating all five campaigns.

 

Completing all five campaigns will unlock this rather odd but interesting award. Once you have unlocked all five achievements the award will pop up also.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/1170/+ojvjA==.jpg Bull Shifters Shirt

Unlock the Bull Shifters shirt by winning 10 games of Versus.

 

This can be done either online or via System Link, win 10 games using your main account and use a second controller or a friend to work through the rounds. You only have to play through the Finale of a campaign 10 times rather than the whole thing.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/guides/1110-4shirt.jpg Left 4 Dead 2 Shirt

Cross the bridge finale in less than three minutes.

 

Campaign: The Parish

Level 5: The Bridge

 

This may take a few attempts, doing this with two people is faster than trying to get from one side to the other using the AI. Always keep to the left and use a pipe bomb towards the end of the bridge to distract the infected.

 

 

 

 

thats the wrong video btw...

What the....? What happen to the other guide? I thought that was stick? Huh, this is surprising, but I do like your guides. They are very neat, through, and great (I enjoyed using your guide for Batman:AA, very nicely done).

No offense intended towards the maker of the first guide, but it wasn't as detailed as it could have been.

 

This is funny, considering I was starting to work on a guide of my own with Cacky helping me out. I've finished everything up for the most part aside from the Versus and Scavenge achievements, if you are interested in seeing it.

There was a glitch in the first L4D game regarding the expert achievements. You could start a campaign on Expert and as the game started you voted to change the difficulty to Easy. You then played all through from beginning up to the final chapter and inside the Safe Room of the final chapter you called a vote to go back to the Lobby. Then reload the final chapter on Expert and finish it on that difficulty. This would count toward your Expert achievement counter.

 

So my question is, does it work on L4D2 too? If so, can it be applied to Realism as well?

 

Thanks!

The other guide was lacking in quality, if there is any info you want added to this do post it, im making this guide more of a community guide so everyone who submits info gets credit.

 

I will fix the video in a little while, also anything that says pending info will have an extended explanation :).

 

Also just because one guide is sticky doesn't mean it's the final forum guide. Any guide can be removed at any time and replaced with a better one.

Well, what I've gotten so far would probably be too much for the forums, it would be much easier to message someone.

 

If this is a community guide, then I will try my best to help where and when I can. :)

Make a Survivor drop a gas can during overtime.

 

Pending Info.

 

Load up a scavenge game with a second controller or friend and have them pick up a gas can and hold onto it until the time runs out. As long as one person is holding a gas can the game will go into "overtime" in which simply use you Special Infected to make the survivor drop the gas can and the pop the achievement unlocks.

 

You can do it legit the same way but it's less likely to get to overtime

As the Spitter, hit every Survivor with a single acid patch.

 

Use the achievement trading thread to get a group together(only need 8 controllers) and then simply have 4 survivors stand in a corner and then spit. If you happen to miss one, simply have that person walk into the acid and it will still pop.

 

See "LONG DISTANCE CARRIER"

As the Spitter, spit on a Survivor being choked by a Smoker.

 

Load up a game with friends or people from the achievement trading thread and then have wait til you are the spitter and another is the smoker. Have the smoker grab a survivor to it's feet and then spit on the survivor.

As the Charger, bowl through the entire enemy team in a single charge.

 

Easiest way is with a full party of friends(4 people, 2 controllers each) and have 4 survivors line up one in front of the other and then take the Charger and rush the line and it will go through all four.

I'll just post some alt strategies to get these for those who can't system link or use a friend.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UP+e2Jo=.jpgGREAT EXPECTORATIONS - 15http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

As the Spitter, hit every Survivor with a single acid patch.

 

This actually isn't very hard, but a surefire spot to get this is on Hard Rain 3. All you need to do is wait up in the buidling they ride the elevator up to, then spit a little bit above their heads before the elevator reaches. The acid will form and hit everyone before they can leave. Also possible on HR2, but the elevator is near the end and it's likely someone would have died.

As the Spitter, spit on a Survivor being choked by a Smoker.

 

If you just aim for this, it's not very hard to stick by a Smoker player and aim for it. Just make sure you spit on them after they're being choked, not in the process of dragging.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1110/UPvcy-A=.jpgSCATTERING RAM - 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif

As the Charger, bowl through the entire enemy team in a single charge.

 

YMMV, but the Dead Center finale seems like a good place for this. Wait at the bottom of the elevator when they go down, charge once it's open. Possible that one or two will be on the sides, but if they bunched in the center to quickly run out you'll smack them all.

Nothing wrong with the other guide, imo. Just seems post count # gets your guide stickied first.

 

My post count has nothing to do with this becoming sticky. This guide was requested so i followed threw.

 

If you have any issues take it up via private messages rather than posting pointless responses. If you have nothing helpful to say don't post.

Hmm I really don't think post counts have amything to do with getting a guide stickied... *Ahem... points to left :) * I wrote a guide for Need for Speed and I only had a 3 post count at the time, and my guide got used on the site... It just comes down to who writes a more detailed and informative guide.. not your post count :)

Does it really matter which post got stickied? Does your life depend on it that much? Yes, you wrote a guide, so did the other guy as did several other people on the internet before either of you. It doesn't matter, thanks to both of you for the guide, it's really helpful. End of story.

 

 

Oh and to the OP, if you use my strageties. I am going to cry because I didn't get stickied! J/K I could care less, this site has been too much of a help to me for me to start complaining about anything

Thanks for the new guide! I was prepared to make my own. The other was... lacking.

 

FYI, the baseball bat does not count for the achievement; I used it, and my multiplier didn't go up. Also, the riot infected does not count towards Crass Menagerie (Check the L4D2 achievement list in-game, it only has 4).

 

For Level a Charge, I was going through the first part of Dead Center; I was running through it on easy. I went around a corner, and a Charger was right in front of me. I hurt it a little bit (either by punching, or it was on fire, I can't quite remember). Then, I stepped back a little bit and it started charging. Right as it started, I melee'd it for the last time, and it died. Achievement popped up. Although this situation is somewhat unlikely, it worked like a charm. One could also just dodge a Charger as it charges and then melee it as it goes by. That would have to be good timing.

 

For Stache Whacker, a melee weapon works just as well, if not better. I think it hits all the holes, not just where the bullets are going. Also, multiple people help immensely.

 

For Wing and a Prayer, I'll post my method I posted in the old guide:

Easy way for the Wind and a Prayer achievement: Get two controllers, one your account and one a guest. Leave your account in the safe room and use your guest to get through the level until the plane (Keep the AI with you if you want). Make sure that your main account does not go idle i.e. touch your analog stick every once in a while. Then, just kill the Infected at the plane with your guest account and the AI. The achievement will pop up soon enough. It can be done with other people online, but only if they stay in the safe room and don't go idle. I thought of this method while playing, and I attempted it about 10 minutes ago. Worked like a charm first try, so I thought that I'd share.

 

And last, but not least, you spelled cemetery as "cemetary" under Violence in Silence.

Can someone explain how to do the expert glitches in SP? I did what the stickied thread said(start on easy, get to finale, go back to lobby, turn on expert) and I then beat the finale like that but nothing happened.

 

This was on expert realism if it makes a difference.
