Footloose and Fancy Free (15 points)
Destroy a Jet Soldier's foot thruster 5 times in Campaign or Escalation.

Shoot the leg thrusters of the jet soldiers to destroy them. You may want to do this on sequences where there are a lot of jet soldiers since it takes time for them to transform into humanoid (normal) mode.

Do this five times to get the achievement.

Fire in the Sky (15 points)

You must kill a jet soldier in flyer mode/ jet form with a melee attack. One of the best places to do this is in the space area after getting off the lift in Chapter 1's Laboratory checkpoint.

Make sure you make every shot count since the turret has limited ammo.

Wait! I Still Function! (30 points)
Get 3 kills while downed in a Co-Op Campaign or Escalation mode.
