Introduction
Welcome to the Achievement Guide and Road Map for Quake Arena Arcade. After 2 years of waiting, the time has finally come. The Xbox LIVE marketplace gets its own Quake. Use this guide to help you on your way to the 200 .
Step 1 - First Playthrough
The very first thing we want to do is to play through the single player campaign in order to get to know the basics and get a feel for the controls of this game. I do not recommend it, but if you feel like it, you may increase the difficulty to 4 stars so that you don't need to do another play through later. After the very first kill, First Frag will unlock.
While playing through the campaign, try to do the following things:
- Play a challenge in CTF and capture 3 flags in a row (See Flag Master)
- Frag someone after dying. (See You're Comin' With Me)
- Humiliate an opponent carrying the Quad Damage (See Ultimate Humiliation)
Try to use every weapon at least once and pick up every item for the Weapons Expert and Collect 'em All achievements. Note that you only need to pick up the CTF stuff for this. So either play a CTF challenge or play a CTF match in practice mode.
Step 2 - Second Playthrough
If you didn't increase the difficulty on your first playthrough, now it's the time to do it. Increase it to 4 stars and play through the whole thing again. This will net you the Hardcore achievement.
Step 3 - Multiplayer
The only achievements that need to be done in multiplayer are This is Stroggos!! (Knock someone to their death), Arena Eternal (500 matches online) and I can win (Win 5 ranked matches). Arena Eternal will take quite a while so sit back and enjoy this awesome classic.
Conclusion
The achievements of Quake Arena Arcade are, except one, relatively easy and doable. You might have some problems with the singleplayer campaign on the high difficulty but with a bit of practice you will definitely succeed. Other than that, it's an enjoyable 200 .
