How to Unlock the Snake is Sneak Spelled Sideways Achievement

This achievement is earned during Mission 17: Freedom Squad by defeating the last boss while avoiding it's special attack. The final boss is Storm Shadow and you will know when he is about to launch an attack because he will stand still and disappear into a cloud os smoke. When this happens he will teleport to wherever you are and deal you damage.

The way to get this trophy is on the easiest difficulty and have all the modifiers on (double damage, double health, infinite ultimates, etc) and be aggressive so that you do not give him a chance to get his ultimate off. It is recommended that you use Duke to get this achievement.

How to Unlock the Ultimate Power Achievement

To earn this trophy you must perform the ultimates of all 12 characters (6 G.I.Joes and 6 Cobras) in the game. This achievement can be done while in campaign or in local multiplayer. In order to perform a characters ultimate you must wait a period of time until the symbol in the middle of the bottom part of the screen indicates it has been fulfilled. You then just need to press LB + RB to start that characters ultimate. Once you have done this for all 12 characters the Ultimate Power Achievement will become unlocked.

How to get the Lock and Load Achievement

In order to get the Lock and Load Achievement you must perform a quick reload with each of the different character's primary weapons. This achievement can be performed in campaign or in local multiplayer. To easily get this achievement just start a match and shoot with your character, then press the reload button (RB), and then tap it again when the arrow hovers over the rectangle to complete the procedure for a quick reload. If you do this with each of the 12 characters that are in G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout (6 G.I. Joes and 6 Cobras) you will unlock the achievement.

Easy How to get the Don't Be a Stranger Achievement

In order to get this achievement you must win a multiplayer match with every character from Cobra and G.I. Joe. The easiest way to accomplish this is to select the Capture the flag mode and make the setup score 1 flag. Do not worry about setting the time limit as it will not matter. Then during the match go for a flag represented by a symbol and return it to your starting location. You should be able to finish a match in under 30 seconds which means it will not take you long to win with each of the 12 characters and get the achievement. Note: You will need two controllers.

Easy How to get the Show Me What You've Got! Achievement

To get this achievement you simply have to win a multiplayer match in all the game modes. There are four game modes in G.I. Joe Operation Blackout: Assault, Team, Capture the flag and King of the hill. You can get this achievement easily by making the setup score just 1 flag, kill or whatever the objective is of the mode you are playing and finish the match. Once you win 1 of each mode you will unlock the achievement. Note: You will need two controllers.

Easy A Joe Needs No Tricks Achievement

To get the A Joe Needs No Tricks Achievement you must complete Mission 5: Scarcity of Freedom using the self-destruct sequence only once. It is recommended that you attempt to earn this achievement at the end of the mission. There are several ways you can get it, the one described here is by playing on A Real American Hero difficulty with the G.I. Joe character Scarlet whose specialty is counter intelligence.

All you need to do is continuously run around in circles, only stopping to shoot the occasional enemy who might be in your way. There is enough health to last you if your shields get broken whilst running so all you need to do is focus on avoidig the enemies. There is no need to initiate the self-destruct sequence so it is possible to get the A Joe Needs No Tricks Achievement without touching the console at all. There is however a sequence near the start of the mission where you are required to make the bots self destruct but as long as you avoid using the console (or use it only once) you will get the achievement.
