Specific addition:

Chapter 12 - Checkpoint 11: Shoot the enemies in the head as soon as the ground starts shaking.

Other than that, nice job so far guys.

[DeAtHisLaNd]

Just wanna add something :

For the achievement to Play Every Online Game Modes :

You DO NOT have to play Hardcore Deathmatch/T.Deathmatch & Gang Wars. You don't need to do them to unlock the achievement. You will need to play every gametype on the Gang Wars game mode tho. Got the achievement yesterday and I don't have 1,000 kills yet(You need 5,000 kills to unlock Hardcore playlist)

Hope it helps

Yep. That's what i'm using on the hard playthrough anyways. Done it about 20 times already and no dice, no matter what way I do it.

if you look at the comments to the video posted, people are getting the same thing.

Yeah, that's my video and I noticed the comments, but some guy had commented saying that it worked after the update. You can always clear your cache and do it that way.

Not sure if this has been found yet or not, but you can get: The Fear Of Losing It

By loading a checkpoint at the end of a chapter(Happened on chapter 1 for me as I came back to play it later). And got the achievement. Hope this helps others if you would like to add it to the guide.

Okay, so Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Payne Killer, Large Team Deathmatch, Large Deathmatch, and Gang Wars (playing every "type" of mode within gang wars) in both Soft Lock and Free Aim?

Is this what you mean? Do you have to play from the start of a match or can you have joined in the middle? I'm pretty sure I did all of that but I didn't get the achievement. I did join in the middle of Gang Wars in Free Aim mode so I haven't probably played all modes in that specific playlist.

Tyger I just got the cheevo: Play on SOFT AIM Team Death, Deathmatch, Payne, Gangwars - I would say maybe a bout 2 to 4 gangwar matches for it to unlock, You dont have to do the hardcore or any thing like that also do it on SOFT aim

Gangwar tip keep track of which mode or map w/e you call it, if you picked one you already done pick a different one it has something to do with the mode types, Meaning lets say 1st round the capture or 2nd round grab the bag, map or mode has a different game type

Whoever gave you the information that NYMHC is you having to complete the whole game without dying, is a lying retard.

It is just the standard NYM thats a chapter to chapter basis in the menu, except the difficulty is hardcore.

Straight from rockstar

"Thanks for the great feedback about trophies. We have made sure that the trophies are challenging and fun. Here is the full list if you are interested in checking them out.

They do not have to be done in 1 sitting, and hardcore is a difficulty level. < this is answer on my question. I asked about NYM HC and NYM. NYM is chapter by chapter with time and on any difficulty and NYM HC is the same but on hardcore difficulty.

The Max Payne 3 Story can be played at five difficulty settings that can be adjusted on the fly and provide varying levels of challenge as follows:

Easy: Increased Health and Bullet Time® Rewards. A satisfying challenge
Medium: Moderate Health and Bullet Time Rewards. A stiff challenge
Hard: Low Health and Bullet Time Rewards. A real test
Hardcore: Minimal Health and Bullet Time rewards. Very challenging
Old School: Last Man Standing is disabled.

Medium is the default setting for all - so you can start the game and decide from there on the fly whether you'd like to adjust your difficulty for more of a challenge or an easier go as you play.

Easy and Medium settings feature dynamic difficulty which provides access to extra painkillers to help you pass particular parts of the game if you've died repeatedly. On Easy and Medium settings, when you die at a checkpoint, you restart the checkpoint with at least one full magazine of ammo in each gun (except grenade launchers) and the number of painkillers that you started with. For every three times you die at a checkpoint, you get one extra painkiller. So if you started a checkpoint with 2 painkillers, and died 3 times, on each subsequent retry of that checkpoint, you'd start with 3 painkillers. If you died 3 more times (6 total), you'd start with 4 painkillers on each subsequent restart. On Easy and Medium, this can continue until you are respawning with a full 9 painkillers.

On the Hard setting, there is also dynamic difficulty however it is intentionally much more limited to ensure a tougher go. On Hard, if you die 5 times, you will get a bonus painkiller on subsequent respawns, and if you've died 10 times, you can get one more. However, it will never give you bonus painkillers that make your total go above 2. So if you started a checkpoint with 1 painkiller and died 5 times, you'd start with 2; but if you died 5 more times (10 total), you would not get an extra - you would continue to respawn with 2. Likewise, if you start a checkpoint with 3 painkillers, you would never get a bonus painkiller in Hard mode.
Hardcore and Old School modes are unlocked by beating the Story on Hard difficulty.

Cheers,

R*"

Yeah this is one that was worrying me too, and made no sense in a way due to us having multiple discs, so i went and did some sleuthing, and one of our friends over at our sister site went to the extent to actually ask rockstar and that is their reply.

Now i actually feel like its possible again.

Must be having a bad day when it comes to these achievements. Not that it was hard but just won rookie team deathmatch and didn't get the achievement for being in first.

edit: it has to be regular deathmatch? Oh well.

The Fear Of Losing It - 20
Survive A Level Without Painkillers


Please mention that if you go into "last stand" you use a painkiller after automatically. This means you must never go into last stand as well as never purposely using a painkiller yourself. I was trying to figure out why I wasn't getting the achievement and finally realized my painkillers were being depleted after last stand. I'm sure you can just reload checkpoint and try again.

[bio187]

That and the achievement for the 10 kills in a row in bullet time all need to be in one burst.... i figured that was a given though.

The One Eyed Man Is King - 10
Cover Passos With Perfect Aim

Kill a total of 13 enemies without missing a shot. You won't be able to restart the checkpoint so if you mess up, quit out


------

For this one, you say you won't be able to restart checkpoint. I am able to restart it just fine, but do you mean that if I restart it, the achievement won't count?

EDIT: I did not get it when reloading my checkpoints AFTER the initial group. If my checkpoint reload started me over from enemy #1, it was okay. I still got the achievement even after reloading my checkpoint from the initial group of first enemies.

I believe you can only restart the checkpoint before Passos' advances for the first time. I think it's after the first three guys you will have to shoot.
