walkthrough: all explosives

[hoernchen]

THIS WAS CREATED FOR THE X360A COMMUNITY. IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS WALKTHROUGH ON ANY OTHER SITE THAN X360A SEND ME A MESSAGE OR REPLY TO THIS THREAD.

Explosive Temper 20 Use every type of explosive on a zombie.

this walkthrough is intended for people who want a way to get all explosive weapons consecutively. it is possible to do this with a level one character but obviously it is easier and faster to do with a leveled up character. i would advise you to pick up/use every explosive i list here although you might have gotten quite a few before. this will ensure that you don't get lost along the way or miss any items. also do use all explosives as soon as you pick them up so you don't get confused which items you already used. get a kill with every weapon just to make sure the achievement really pops. you should only have to hit a zombie with the explosive but as the achievement has proven dodgy before just get the kill, it will not take much more time than doing this without getting the kill.

ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON THE KILLCOUNTER TO MAKE SURE YOU GOT AT LEAST ONE KILL!

i will start this walkthrough in the safe house, where you start the game.

here we go. start a new game and go through all the cutscenes. leave the safe house and skip the cutscenes. go up the stairs and head into the room to your left while still in the safe area. grab the propane tank.

head out of the safe area and walk into the first store on the left which is called in the closet. drop the propane tank at the entrance and then go behind the counter and get the hand gun.

one or two zombies should already have reached the tank so shoot it with the gun. now leave via the exit that will lead you towards fortune park. once the game's finished loading head towards fortune city hotel (slightly to your right) but don't get in there. instead follow the raised grass stripe to the south-western end of the map. you will find two grenades lying in the grass.

from there you can see two fenced in grass areas. from your location head to the rear one (the one with the large map in front of the fence) and hop over the fence. there's some dynamite beneath a bush.

let's head up the stairs, along the silver strip. in the middle of the strip you will come to a round kiosk named rockets red glare. in front of the store and on the shelves you can get rocket fireworks. many people have difficulties with this so here is what i did. grab severel fireworks and throw them into a bunch of zombies. aim at their heads. according to mjc0961 the achievement will also unlock if you just use the heavy attack (holding x in front of a zombie) and stuff the fireworks in a zombies face.

way up north in front of the yucatan casino you will find leon bell's truck and info booth, inbetween are little red canisters. grab them, throw them into some zombies and shoot them with the gun to set them off.

(just outside the yucatan casino)

now head inside the yucatan casino. you will meet ted and snowflake. from where you will spawn it is just a few feet towards the food court, which is where we ultimately want to go. once we arrive at the food court there will be a zombie with a red dolly carrying an acetylene tank. shoot the tank. make sure the explosion kills a zombie and not only the flying tank to be on the safe side. if it does not work, there will be a second tank just a few feet away...

EXPLOSIVE TEMPER UNLOCKED!

(this has been tested on several profiles. all necessary items for the achievement are listed. if you don't unlock the achievement you might consider doing this again on another playthrough as all collecting achievements for dr2 have proven dodgy on one end or the other.)

Thanks again for your invaluable work, friend.

Just wanted to confirm then that weapons crafted like DYNAMEAT and I.E.D do not qualify for this? Only pick-up items?

And also, to get the gas can, you don't need to BEAT Leon, just go outside his truck?

yes and yes. just tested it twice on level 1 profiles and this can be obtained within a few minutes of starting up a game.

and you're welcome

*ahem* Anyway that sounds really easy. I'm going to give that a try at the start of my next playthrough, thanks man.

[JeppeBoy]

Thank you so much! The gasoline canister was the one I needed!

[dear old granny]

Nice one thanks!

[mjc0961]

Just did it, worked perfectly. Although for the rocket fireworks, I just pressed X and Chuck stuck them in a zombie. Seemed to be easier than trying to hit a zombie in the head by throwing them, because at least when I tried it they lit and flew off into an empty area to blow.

[b1zarr0]

this sounds painless enough

nice, will edit it in.

[grizlynator]

thx for your help

[Shaynringan]

Worked flawlessly. Just wanted to actually confirm you don't need to do this in one play thru, it unlocked after GAS CAN for me, and I never touched a acetylene tank in this playthru.

[HoRneDieSeL]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

[jackofblades]

[Chris Knowles]

I appreciate this, DR2 is general is very complex and I'm glad you took the time to do this
