    Complete all of the Tactical Challenges in VANQUISH

  • How to unlock Tactical Challenges

    Once you've successfully completed an Act on normal difficulty or above, a "Tactical Challenge" mode will be unlocked which can be accessed from the game menu. There's one tactical challenge per completed Act. Once you've completed these challenges... surprise! A sixth one unlocks. These tactical challenges can be compared to the "firefights" in Halo:ODST or "hordes" in Gears of War 2. You'll have to eliminate the enemies coming in different waves. There are 5 waves per tactical challenge. As the number of waves goes up, so does the difficulty... Tactical challenge 6 has proved to be one of the very, very difficult ones.

    This will probably be one of the last achievements you will get, as this is the most difficult achievement of them all. It is one of those achievements to be very proud of to have...

    I suggest you search in the forums for strategies posted by members who used different methods and/or weapons.

    Perhaps these strategies might help you for the most of it, or at least be a good start:

  • this achivement is to pass all the challenges and it is worth 50 G I've got more to my Xbox Live with ta problem because I'm from Brazil and will launch the live in Brazil Nov. 11 .....
  • why the hell is challenge 4 so dam hard
  • anyone got any tips or is it blind panic and luck with this bad boy?
  • So hard.
  • These are pretty rough. I can't even manage to beat the first one.
  • SO far ive beaten challenges 1 and 2.....1 was more luck than anything else, and in challeneg 2, I found that little corner behind a cargo container with a turret on top made a good hiding spot under heavy fire, and it also gives a tiny little gap next to the wall to shoot through if things get a bit desparate. CHallenge 5 I nearly beat but died against the Argus at the end :-(
  • there r 5 challenges and a hidden one=[
  • god dam it! these are well hard! iv got every other achievement but this 1. n im not even close! i cant do challenge 4 or 5. not even tryd 6 yet! :(
  • I hate those japanese developers...they just enjoy putting the one single achievement unachiavable... This is way to hard to beat... :(
  • i cant do challang 6 :(
  • I recently finished this. It just takes a lot of dedication, memorization and realizing it's going to take a lot of time. I watched a bunch of different techniques on youtube and figured out which ones worked for me. Challenge 6 was destroying me until I watched a video where a guy cleared out all the smaller enemies in like 5 seconds with the lfe guy. Once there gone focusing on the two main baddies is easier(although still not easy)
  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j9JcS_48MY This video is much better then the one posted. Finally got the achievement today, ran out of homing and rockets so I had to take down the second bogey using a HMG....damn it was tense... Won in critical health with nades all around me.
  • man man man i just need to complete 6 for gods sake!
  • Ive been stuck on challenge six forever. I cant even beat the second wave.
  • Challenge six? Shit, I only have to beat 4 and was hoping that'd be it
  • last achievement for me, challenge 6, i always get wasted by the 2 final bogies, i just need to practice fighting them on hard mode in the game it self, instead of wasting my time... so close yet so far....... Gameover!!! Retry!!! I WANT MY VANQUISH DOGGY! THAT GOT TAKEN OUT OF THE GAME BEFORE RELEASE :) vanquish 2, or dlc needed but will never come!!!
  • WHE JUST NEED SKILL AN PACIENT ...LOLLOL
  • I love you guys, you make it sound so hard. So that when i did get it, the feeling was outstanding. I'm not saying it was easy. You practically have to have no life just to memorize what to do without getting a head full of lead.
  • I was pretty happy just beating one of these but I will get this achievement.
  • After beating vanquish on God Hard, these challenges are a piece of a cake in comparison.
  • Got this achievement today. 17minutes. Thats me 100% completed. The advice I would give is not to follow too closely some of the youtube clips done by the 'professional' gamers. the ones who did it with a sub 5 minute run must have toiled away to complete the challenge like the rest of us and then tinkered with their strategy and their style of play to squeeze as much out of their performance. Its better if you graft your way to the final wave and try to learn at least one lesson each time you get killed. Thats what i did and today i had a revelation about how to deal with those bogeys, to the point that i think i have an effective strategy to beat them that isn't available from all the youtube clips i've seen, and can be done by any competent game player. I might upload a clip, but i
  • can help you out with what worked for me, if you're having trouble message me - GT Ishtiyaq786
  • Fuck this stupid achievement. What a waste of my time.
  • I have done this finally after three days of trying. If you keep trying you will eventually master your own way of doing it. so dont give up it is worth it ^^
  • What a horrible way end such a great game. I don't know if I'm going to get this achievement, but challenge 6 has already ruined my whole perception of the game. The way the purposely make you memorize each and every single spawn, mechanic, and timing for every enemy, it's not why I wanted to play this game. Without this achieve: 9/10. With achieve 5.5/10.
