PowerUp Locations on all Maps

[NightStalker666]

Just made a run through last night. Not too hard, but they are numerous. I didn't get the achievement, so I'm gonna have another run all day. Also I'm wondering about different gametypes as well now. And also going back to check the different variations of warfare maps.

you will need the different variations of the maps but i doubt different gametypes. for around the world, it says win on every map. you only need to do one of DM/TDM/Duel. This achievement says on every map aswell but im just guessing...

[NightStalker666]

Well thats it for health vials too. No achievement. See this thread for the numbers and locations.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...ad.php?t=82852

I've gone through 3 times on all variants for the vials. I don't know what else to do now.

But Good Luck to those doing this.

On 7/22/2008 you posed a question to Midway Support which was noted as inquiry
33100.The question you posed and our response are listed below.

Your Question, Comment or Feedback:
Like the back of my hand achievement.

Response:
Like The Back Of My Hand is very difficult, especially since it includes the
numerous health vials and invisibility which is hidden. Every time you pick up
any powerup on any map it registers it so it's a cumulative achievement over
many matches even on the same map.

You must pick up every instance of:
Health Vials (5HP)
Shield Belt
Keg'O'Health (100HP)
Invisibility
Berserk
UDamage
Helmet
Thigh Pads
Jump Boots
Armor Vest

NOT Health Paks (25HP)
NOT weapons/ammo

Hey im a new user, so i dont really know how this works but....

When he says invisibility which is hidden, does anyone know where that is???

[pined5551]

thats a good point, i was also wondering that when i first read it so we'll probe a bit and see if anyone can find it (if it exists)

[shines92]

Does any1 no were the thigh pads r on vertebrae i have collected every single health vial armor nd power up on every other map and cant find this and i no they exist plz tell me!!!!!!

[NightStalker666]

drop down to the level right before the bottom. Keep looking up, you should see one of the "vertebrae" pipe looking things sticking it. It has health vials and thigh pads on it on both sides and you have to translocate to it.

We've seen hundreds of these "confirmed" e-mails in all sorts of games over the years. You have to obviousy question the validity of this one. Why would it make sense not to pick up the 25hp health packs but pick up all the other ones? I've been slowly going at this but have also picked up the 25 hp health packs and ammo crates and redeemers. I'm a little over halfway through and we shall see if the achievement unlocks.

Someone has to find it soon... The only problem is that i picture it as something that can not even be seen, or EXTREMELY well hidden. Why else would he mention just that ONE hidden power up? Just some thoughts though...

I don't think that the 25's are necessary to pick up. My reason for this would be that they can not be picked up normally. You have to have less than full health to pick them up. But for the vials, you can pick up an infinite amount, even when your health is 199hp. Same with ammo, you cannot pick up an infinite amount.

[A 2rue Beast]

Well I picked up the 25 health also and I still didnt get the achievement so thats not the answer.

[NightStalker666]

I've known Merci for a while. He's not the kind of guy to take this lightly and make this up. And I see no reason why epic would lie. Plus I have to agree with shadow on the fact they cant take you above 100, and then there's also the fact that True Beast and I have gotten all the health and still dont have it.

[mxzshadowwolf]

Whoever emailed Midway Tech (Merciless i think) should try to confirm whether or not there is indeed one special hidden power up... Maybe try to see if it is on a 360 exclusive map, or not. Or, although i doubt it, see if they will reveal the map and/or location of the power up. Its worth a shot, cause I'm (and others I'm sure) are really starting to get tired of all this hunting/searching and sitting at 860gs for this game...

[Benderpl]

One player mentioned about invisibility on Facing Worlds a few days ago. He said that one bot had had invisibility. Maybe, it's true - there is invisibility somewhere on FW. Maybe, we have to activate something to collect power up... Does someone know chinese language ? What is written above the wooden door near the helmet on Facing Worlds? Ok, I'm joking

i think these little words tells you, that you're wrong:

Could it be that every time you do pick something up it keeps count and when you have picked up a certain amount the achiev will just pop?

I now think this because as I said I have read the email over and over to make more sense of it! I have also done all maps on all game modes on multi as well and I am pretty sure I have not missed anything! and I figure that the things listed only count to the tally thus meaning it was a two way answer sneaky if so but quite obvious if you look at it carefully!

Like The Back Of My Hand is very difficult, especially since it includes the
numerous health vials and invisibility which is hidden. Every time you pick up
any power up on any map it registers it so
CUMULATIVE ACHIEVEMENT OVER
MANY MATCHES EVEN ON THE SAME MAP.

You must pick up every instance of:
Health Vials (5HP)
Shield Belt
Keg'O'Health (100HP)
Invisibility
Berserk
UDamage
Helmet
Thigh Pads
Jump Boots
Armor Vest

NOT Health Paks (25HP)
NOT weapons/ammo

HOLY F**K I THINK I'M ONTO SOMETHING!

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
__________________

"every instance" must be the single occurences on every map.
let's say there are 100 +25 health pickups on all maps.
so collecting 100x the same 25pts health pickup does not register as 100x health overall. it's actually 1 out of the 100 instances.

Does a WEAPON or 25HP take your health over 100%
I didn't think so YOU SILLY LITTLE BOY
so I guess they are not power ups!

Oh yeah already picked up every single thing on every map in all game modes!

Guess what?
NO ACHIEVEMENT!!!

[Benderpl]

Maybe, we can send mail to Midway Customer Support again and ask about this hidden invisibility? What does it mean and where we can find it... (which map)

[Jonesy999]

and who ever sends the email should be specific, we know what to get, but on what gametype ( dm, tdm and duel, or just one?) and does it have to be instant action or ranked or not? also ask about the invisibility

[shines92]

tht is wat we shiuld do to the guy tht thought of this achievment!!!!!

[Jonesy999]

anyone have any idea what to do next? or if anyone emailed them again?

[Jonesy999]

I sent email. But more people could do that. It will be bigger chance to receive answer...

Silly little boy? What are you 12? You've been around these forums how long? Put your money where your mouth is and start contributing more to this site than just crap. Just seems weird, your first post is a "confirmed" e-mail by Midway, one in which you could easily typed up just to get attention, which lots of first posters do. It's nothing again against you, it just seems fishy.

[jamie122]

dont waste your time going through instant action or doing all the maps for dm on tdm and duel, or collecting everything 100 times thats now what the achievement says and i dont think the devs wouldn't go that far to fuck with us. since there are OFFICIAL guides on all the maps that are on the ps3/pc whatevr ur missing must be on xbox exclusive maps,unless the achievement is glitched FOR EVERYONE and i think that is very unlikely. the mystery will be solved eventually. oh and to the people that didn't complete the match- the game dosn't just save after the match for kicks lol

[Benderpl]

Guess what? I sent email to Midway Support with question about hidden invisibility mentioned in their email and they gave me link to xbox360achievements.org. ROTFL

Ok I have sent them another email. Maybe this time, they will tell me something more.

Or maybe they changed the location of some of the power-ups on the maps.

And they would go that far. Gamle developers have a twisted sense of humor .

HAHAHAH that's classic man. Let us know.

[mxzshadowwolf]

Did none of you pay attention to my last post!?

[xYx VeNoM xYx]

OK, so me and a friend have used this guide and many others to do a cumulative search across all game variants and maps.... we have picked up everything including

Health Vials (5HP)
Shield Belt
Keg'O'Health (100HP)
Invisibility
Berserk
UDamage
Helmet
Thigh Pads
Jump Boots
Armor Vest
Health Paks (25HP)
Redeemer
All Deployables on every map

and still no achievement.

We've tried everything short of destroying every darkwalker on every map that has one, we have not got into every vehicle on every map and we have not picked up all weapons on every map except for by default.

One thing i can point out is on the CTF map VERTEBRAE there is a BESERK located on that map in the middle in a green room that u must use the translocator to get in... i noticed that it wasnt listed under the pickups for that map and noticed that no one else corrected the post or said they found it. All i can tell u is if u know where the biorifle is and you pickup the health vials look to ur right and down a level and u will see a green watery looking wall w/ a hole in it shoot the translocator thru the hole and pickup the BESERK maybe if someone hasnt already found it, it will unlock this achievement....

But once again ive picked up everything short of all weapons/ammo, all vehicles. Also it was all done in player match.


the one thing im going to try is on certain maps you have to do things to get certain vehicles like the darkwalker or leviathan im going to try that out and see if maybe it considers that powerups.....

Nice Guide Pined, Keep it up
