A. Introduction
===============================================================================

This guide is a tool to help you gain all the achievements available in 
Condemned 2: Bloodshot. Due to the vague descriptions of the achievements
provided by the game as well as the lack of a clear, concise achievement 
guide available elsewhere on the internet, I decided to make this guide to 
help people out. Single player guides exist with pictures of the locations of
the emitters, antennas, etc, so I will not be covering those in my guide, at
least not yet. I'm aware that most of these achievements are painfully easy to
obtain, but this is my first guide, and therefore it's a learning 
experience for me. Also, if you have any suggestions/strategies/corrections to 
tell me about, I'll be glad to use them! Just email me with the subject line 
as "Condemned" or something relating to the guide, and I'll check it as soon 
as I can. Thanks for checking out the guide!

===============================================================================
B. Update History
===============================================================================

Version 1.0 (04/07/08)
  -Initial draft, included all achievements

Version 1.1 (04/09/08)
  -Added extra information thanks to Robert Joyce
  -Noted permission to host on a number of websites.

Version 1.2 (05/01/08)
  -Added some helpful notes sent to me by Squizur Boom and Spyrock47.

===============================================================================
C. Single Player Achievements
===============================================================================

These achievements are attained through playing single player.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Anger Management - 10 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perform an emotional response ten times. These are the instances in single 
player where the prompt to push the A button appears. When you see them, 
simply hit A and soon enough you will have the achievement.

"This can be done in Multiplayer as well.  When someone gets behind you, a 
prompt will say "Push A" and you can do a quick 180 degree turnaround.  
If you turn around and hit the guy 10 times you shoudl get this without 
ever playing Single Player." -RJ

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Beat Cop - 10 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simply complete the first level of the story mode and you will get this 
achievement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Big Game Hunter - 10 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To get this achievement, you must kill ten enemies with the antler. 
The antler can be found on the mission Black Lake Lodge, but the enemies 
there are heavily armed and you must complete the first half of the level 
to even reach the antler to begin with. A simpler way to complete this 
achievement is to go to the Bloodshot Fight Club practice arena and select 
"exotic combat". The enemies that spawn will ocassionally be carrying an 
antler that you can use to get the achievement. You can also get the 
GOOOAAALLL! and Flambe achievements using this method.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Bloodshot - 25 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Complete up to mission 8 in the single player for this achievement. 
This will unlock all the Bloodshot Fight Clubs, which gives you the achievement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Can You Hear Me Now? - 30 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To gain this achievement you must destroy all the emitters in each 
level of the game. Since they are often in hard-to-reach areas, I have 
found this to be the easiest while going through in FPS mode, where you 
are always given a firearm. I would make a list of locations, but there 
is a nifty walkthrough on the internet with pictures already. See my 
credits section for a link.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Chain Gang - 30 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For this one, you must execute 5 of each type on chain attack on an enemy.
Chain attacks are performed by rapidly pressing the right or left triggers
while hitting an enemy. There are three chain attacks for each hand, which
are differentiated by how much your chain attack bar (top right corner) is
filled. Having one full bar lets you do a level 1, two bars a level 2, etc.
It is easy to get this by either replaying the first area of the Commuter
Tracks mission or fighting in the practice arena.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Chief Investigator - 50 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Complete every level of the single player game on hard mode.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Decisive Restraint - 25 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the museum level, do not kill any guards. It is fine if enemies kill a
guard, but do not hit the guards yourself. If you need to get rid of a guard,
fight them with your fists until they fall unconcious. Don't let any thrown 
items hit them or they will die, this happened to me while trying to get
this achievement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Detective - 30 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Complete a level on FPS mode, unlocked after you beat the game once.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Detective - First Grade - 50 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Complete the entire game in FPS mode. This is a very easy mode to complete,
you can clear a level in a few minutes if you know where to go.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. EPA (Environmental Pwnage Area) - 25 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Successfully perform 25 environmental kills on enemies. These are the moves
done after you grab an enemy from their knees and bring them to the floating
white logos. You should be able to get this before you finish your first run 
through of the single player.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Flambe - 25 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the Flambe combo, you must first throw a bottle of alcohol at an enemy.
Then, tase the enemy, and he will light on fire and die. Do this ten times
and you'll get this achievement. An easy place to do this is in the Bloodshot
Fight Club Practice arena where you can select alcohol bottles to be placed in
the arena. You can also do the GOOOAAALLL! and Big Game Hunter achievements
there.

NOTE - I was informed this can be done using molotov cocktails in the arena. 
I can't confirm, but it probably works, I just did it the hard way. 
Thanks SpyRock47!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Gold-Plated - 50 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Get a gold rating in every level for this achievement. I found this easiest to
do in FPS mode. For a gold, you must find all the antennas, emitters, and 
complete investigations and other objectives perfectly. Don't forget easy to
miss investigations like the sign before the stairs on the museum level, 
the writing on the wall next to the boat launch in the lodge, and the bowling 
bag next to the score card in the bowling alley.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. GOOOAAALLL! - 10 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kill five enemies with the fooseball stick for this achievement. You can find
the fooseball piece in the bowling alley level, but an easier way to find it is
in the Bloodshot Fight Club Practice Arena. Simply select exotic melee from the
options and you will see the fooseball piece laying on the ground. It breaks
easily, so be careful. If you need another, just restart the mission or wait
for an enemy to appear with one. You can also do the Flambe and Big Game Hunter
achievements here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. Investigator - 25 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finish any level on hard mode and you will get this achievement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. Master Investigator - 50 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Get a "perfect" rating on every single investigation in the game.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17. Self Medicated - 25 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simply heal yourself a number of times using the health kits found around the
levels. You should get this achievement after a few levels of gameplay.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18. Sleuth - 10 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Get a perfect rating in an investigation sequence. The first investigation
in the apartment building is easy, so you will probably get this on your first
playthrough of that level.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19. The Final Word - 10 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perform an environmental kill after bringing an enemy to his knees. Simply
press both triggers when prompted and bring the enemy to one of the 
white floating logos and you'll smash his head in some fun, unique way. Oh, and
youll get the achievement. :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20. The Plumber - 25 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kill 50 enemies using the pipe weapon. If you do not get this in the course
of playing the single player missions, go to the Bloodshot Fight Club Practice
Arena and select light melee. The pipe will be leaning against the wall and you
can kill with it to your heart's content.

"Multiplayer kills count towards this.  Note that in Multiplayer Deathmatch 
you get to start with either the Pipe or Brick." -RJ

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21. Trooper - 30 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Complete the game on any difficulty.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22. Tune in Tokyo - 30 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Find every antenna in every mission. Nifty picture guides are around for these,
and I cite one at the end of my guide.

===============================================================================
D. Multiplayer Achievements
===============================================================================

The online multiplayer achievements are quite a bit harder than the single
player ones, so I will do my best to give you the best strategies to use in
order to get these without simply telling you to boost. :P

All achievements are able to be completed in player matches except two, which
are noted.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Ala Mode - 25 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Play every game mode (Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Crime Scene, Bum Rush) five
times apiece. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Brick Wall - 10 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Block an enemy attack five times in an online game for this achievement. This
would be much easier if it weren't for the lag... it's easy to get, though.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Bum King - 30 GP ***NEED RANKED MATCH AND 4 PLAYERS MINIMUM*** -RJ
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the most difficult achievements in the game. You must play as SCU in a
bum rush game and survive the 3 minutes without firing a shot from the gun you
start with. There also must be at least 4 players in the game at the end of the
match or it will not count. Personally, I hosted a game of Bum Rush myself to
have first chance at SCU and set it on the Doll Factory level. I would simply
holster my gun to avoid accidentally firing it and grab the sledgehammer which
is leaning up against one of the center cylindrical tanks next to a toilet
seat. I would then run to the back and hide behind the three tanks by the table
and use sprint attacks which kill influenced players in one hit. The best tip I
can offer you is to KEEP MOVING if you feel overwhelmed. If you are moving, 
they will waste more time looking for you and have a harder time hitting you 
with molotov coctails and other projectiles. Having another SCU player also 
helps.

"FIRST of the 2 Multiplayer achievements that requires a RANKED game." -RJ

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Collector - 10 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scan the evidence 5 times as SCU in a Crime Scene match to get this achievement.
Pull out your scanner with the X button and scan using the A button. You have 
two opportunities in each round to scan the evidence, so after a few rounds of
Crime Scene you should get the achievement.

"I found out the easiest way to get the "Just The Facts" and "Collector" 
achievements. Even if you don't have xbox live! :) Just start a "System Link" 
match in the MP menu. Create a match, choose Crime scene and then pick the 
SCU side. When the game starts you'll be the only player in the level of 
course. Just run to the other side and scan those boxes. The first 5 scans 
will give you the Collector achievement and another 5 will give you the Just 
The Facts one. So basically you just have to play for a couple of minutes and 
do 5 rounds and you'll get the 35 gamerpoints :)"
-Thanks to Squizur boom for the tip! Incredibly easy to do it this way.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Cut-throat - 30 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perform 25 finishing moves in online games. These work almost the same as
environmental kills in single player; when an enemy is stumbling, pull both
triggers and you will perform a finishing move. The only difference is that
you don't have to bring him to an environmental kill location. Just play some
Deathmatch games and do these when you kill enemies and you'll have the
achievement soon enough.

"Multiplayer kills count towards this." -RJ  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Defender - 25 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Defend the evidence as infected 10 times in Crime Scene mode. You don't have to
win the round, just kill an SCU player when he is near a piece of evidence. You
should see an "evidence defended bonus" appear on your screen.

"A sure fire way to get a "Defend" is to kill a SCU guy when he has his 
scanner out and is scanning a case." -RJ
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Just the Facts - 25 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Same as Collector, scan the evidence 10 times as SCU in a Crime Scene match to 
get this achievement. Pull out your scanner with the X button and scan using 
the A button. You have two opportunities in each round to scan the evidence, 
so after a few rounds of Crime Scene you should get the achievement.

See the "Collector" achievement for an easy way to get this achievement.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Magellan - 25 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Play each multiplayer map 5 times. If no games are up with the map you need,
just make your own game, you bum!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. MP Overachiever - 50 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By far the hardest achievement to get in the game. You must get 15 kills in a
deathmatch game and then not die for the duration of it. That's ten minutes of
gameplay without dying. Yeah, it's a nightmare. The best real strategy I came
up with is to play very, very carefully in the Underground level. Use shadows
to your advantage and practice blocking and timing, and use ranged weapons
effectively. When you get the 15 kills, either hide in a dark corner and pray to
the gaming gods that no one finds you or move around quickly and avoid any 
fighting at all. Truly a beast of an achievement without boosting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Punch Drunk - 10 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kill 10 players with your fists only. Simply run around in a deathmatch game
swinging wildly and this achievement will come to you. It's a lot easier than
it sounds.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Restraint... Not - 30 GP ***NEED RANKED MATCH AND 4 PLAYERS MINIMUM*** -RJ
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To get this achievement, you must win Crime Scene matches as SCU without firing
a shot from any guns. This is actually a lot easier than it sounds. Most games 
of Crime Scene are won by the SCU easily, so you can get away with tossing your 
gun at the start and relying on your teammates to supply the heavy firepower.
You can still swing a melee weapon, so it's not like you become useless. Just
persevere with this one and you'll get it before you know it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Rush Champ - 25 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kill the SCU player 5 times as the Influenced in a Bum Rush game. This is a
team effort so you do not have to deliver the final blow.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Serial Killer - 50 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Get 1000 kills total in online matches to get this achievement. This one is
not that difficult, it just takes some time (obviously). Playing Bum Rush
matches as SCU or just playing Deathmatch games are the quickest way to rack up
kills. Other than that, it's your own personal skill as well as luck that 
defines how long this one will take to get.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. Sidekick - 10 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assist in scanning the evidence as SCU 10 times in Crime Scene mode. When 
another player begins to scan the evidence, begin to scan the evidence along 
with him until it completes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. SKX - 50 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Slightly difficult achievement, but ultimately based on luck. You must kill 9
unique players that have the Serial Killer achievement in order to get this
achievement. In your course to get 1000 kills yourself, it is likely that you
will encounter these 9 people, but if not, tough luck, youll just have to keep
playing. :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. Survivor King - 30 GP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Survive as SCU in a Bum Rush game 5 times. This is fairly easy to do,
especially with halfway decent aim with the assault rifle. Just play on large,
open maps, such as Doll Factory, and this achievement will be a piece of cake.

For his sticky post on the gamefaqs forum about the achievements. It cleared 
up a lot of stuff initially for me and I feel like im just being a jerk and 
writing a fancy guide in his place. :P

Credit to the contributors to the guide on Mycheats.com
The picture guide there was amazing, and helped me to find all the hidden
things in the game. Very useful!

He emailed me a list of very useful extra info that I put in the guide and 
market with "RJ". Thanks man! :)
