Do remember, that maps and methods are suggested, and not the sole way to complete these achievements. This guide was started in 10/10/2018 and reflects methods that were attempted and worked at the time. Some achievements require that you find another player to help you with them. This is unfortunately, due to the state of the game, that being currently with a very low player count, you are very unlikely to complete these achievements naturally. If you know other methods, if not more efficient ones, do comment, and I will add them to the guide.

Red Orchestra 2
1a. Kill Based Achievements
- These achievements can be done on Bot servers, and are not particularly difficult.
Marksman Bronze
Obtain a kill over 100 meters with a bolt action rifleNot particularly difficult. You may do so on any bot server, and even the 1 or 2 populated servers that regularly, if not exclusively, and eternally playing the map "Bridges of Druzhina"
Marksman Silver
Obtain a kill over 175 meters with a bolt action rifleNot difficult either, dial in your sights, or aim higher.
Marksman Gold
Obtain a kill over 225 meters with a bolt action rifleNow this is going to be slightly tricky if you're not fluent in the shooting of people who also happen to prefer to do the same. Again, these achievements can be done in a bot server, or alternatively asking a friend, finding an empty server that plays "TE-Barashka" and asking friend to stand still from a far away distance for you to shoot him. I am unsure if this can be done with a sniper rifle as I had played the game when it was still crowded with players and achieved it without a sniper rifle.
Firing the Gats Bronze
Kill 10 enemies with a heavy, light, or tank mgNot difficult in the slightest. I advise that you use a light machine gun, on a bot server to farm these kills, and level the weapon at the same time. Using a tank does not provide any class experience, and while you may be safe from small arms fire, you become a target for other tanks, rendering this advantage moot, as you will waste time fighting other tanks, rather than just shooting people. Mounted heavy machine guns do not exactly allow mobility necessary to move around should you need shoot at someone from an inconvenient angle. Furthermore, leveling weapons provide belt magazines, that will be helpful in this endeavor.
Firing the Gats Silver
Kill 50 enemies with a heavy, light, or tank mgSee Firing the Gats bronze and gold
Firing the Gats Gold
Kill 100 enemies with a heavy, light, or tank mgSee Firing the Gats bronze and gold
Firing the Gats Platinum
Kill 1000 enemies with a heavy, light, or tank mgIt shouldn't be too long to get this, but consider angling for other achievements while you're at it, such as completing Firefight, and Countdown modes, or Transport achievements, such as riding shotgun, and attempting to complete one-offs such as "Woody Woodpecker," in Rising Storm. Remember, being in a capture zone defensive or offensive grants extra points.
Fix Bayonets Bronze
Kill 5 enemies in melee combatLevel up a weapon with a bayonet. Life is easier when you increase the likelihood of having to stab a guy only once, compared to beating them with your weapon twice or more. Weapons such as the M1 Garand have the upgrade to increase the length of it's bayonet, and therefore stabbing reach of the weapon, making it the Ideal choice. Hanging out in buildings rather than open ground also decreases the likelihood of getting shot as you attempt this. the "Apartments" map, is one of the better maps to achieve this, as combat is much closer in that map.
Another thing to note, is that bots have a habit of attempting to melee you, when you are within 2 meters of them. Just walking backwards slowly, maintaining your distance, can put them into an infinite loop of attempting to melee you. They will be unable to hit you whilst not even attempting to fire their weapon. Exploit this Knowledge at your discretionFix Bayonets Silver
Kill 50 enemies in melee combatSee Fix Bayonets Bronze and Gold
Fix Bayonets Gold
Kill 100 enemies in melee combatAgain, multiple achievements can be completed as you go after this one, such as "Stick it to Tojo," and "Up close and personal," and "A Sight For Sore Eyes." A fine print notice however, only bayonet kills contribute to "stick it to tojo."
Sharpshooter Bronze
Kill 10 enemies with a sniper rifleThe difficulty you will face, is aquiring one of these "sniper rifles." that happen to be in the hands of 2 out of 64 people in populated servers. However, this is not so, in an empty bot server. Get a sniper rifle and just kil some bots. Alternatively, if you want to kill other players for this, find and hang out around the actual sniper, in a populated server, and grab his weapon as soon as he dies, and get out of there, because whoever killed him, has his sights on you too.
Sharpshooter Silver
Kill 50 enemies with a sniper rifleSee Sharpshooter Bronze and Gold
Sharpshooter Gold
Kill 100 enemies with a sniper rifleThere's not really much else that you can simultaneously achieve as you go after this one, other than map and mode achievements.
1b. Special Kill Based Achievements
- These achievements can be achieved on bot servers, but would be more expedient with a friend.
Firing Blind
Kill 1 enemy with a blind fire burstGet into cover, when you see someone, bot or player, and just spray away with your primary fire button. Preferably do it in a doorway or corridor, to limit where you have to shoot. If it's too difficult, find someone to stand infront of some sand bags for you to shoot.
One in the hole!
Kill at least 1 enemy after blind firing a grenadeOn the same principle, throw a grenade. Hold left-click to cook it off. If it happens to be too difficult, refer to "How I learned to love the bomb" below.
How I learned to love the bomb
Kill 4 enemies with one grenadeYou can do this by sneaking up on people and giving them an explosive present from behind. If things are too hopeless, you may frag a group of charging bots. If things are beyond hopeless, Ask a friend to be a commander in a bot server and to command the bots to gather in one spot. As a bonus, you can be in cover as you cook off and throw the grenade, netting you the "One in the hole!" achievement at the same time.
Bleed on me?
Make 50 enemies bleed to deathExpect to achieve this as you go through the game. Using any weapon to perform a gutshot, will sometime cause your enemies to hunch over, and wobble. Let them bleed out. If they crouch, they're bandaging themselves, you may shoot them again. A sniper rifle may be your prefered choice for this.
A Helping Hand
Get 7 assists in a single roundExpect to achieve this as you go through a round. If you still have not achieved this, get a pistol, and have a single bodyshot your enemies, moving on as soon as you land a hit. Hopefuly other bots or a friend can help you finish the bot off.
Bombs Away
Kill 10 enemies with a single artillery callFor this you are required to play as the Commander, or TL. Use your binoculars or hold F and left-click to mark a location and use a radio to call it in. Calling it on an objective that is to be defended or a bottleneck provides the best results. capture zones without roof covers are best for this.
A Sight For Sore Eyes
Gain a melee kill with the binocularsThe Commander or Squad leaders have access to Binoculars. Hide in a building or take your chances running around, all that matters is landing that kill.
Silent Killer
Get 32 Kills with the silenced Nagant RevolverThe Silenced Nagant is avaliable from lvl25 of that weapon. Either level the weapon, or ask an experienced player to drop one for you. After that, it's just a matter of killing.
1c. Human Kill Based Achievements
- You are required to kill another player, not a bot for these achievements. It is entirely necessary, and without another player to kill, you cannot get these achievements.
Kills Bronze
Kill 10 enemies (human)Not hard, it's a start, find a populated server and go shoot some people.
Kills Silver
Kill 100 enemies (human)See Kills Bronze and Gold
Kills Gold
Kill 250 enemies (human)See Kills Bronze and Platinum
Kills Platinum
Kill 1000 enemies (human)Here for the long haul aren't you? Well, having a hard time killing players in populated servers? There are many guides of how to git gud in this game. If you're extremely hopeless, ask for a friend who's happy to be shot a thousand times. You can ask for this boost as you play S&D, after bomb defusals if you're working together to grind plants and disarms. See "S&D Cool Under Pressure Gold" and "S&D Bomberman Gold" for getting at least a 100 kills. as you do this.
Varmit: you can do it faster with 1 or more friend on map TE-Barashka with tanks. Your friend needs to join Axis and take Tank Squad Leader or Tank Commander and you have to meet somewhere on map (better close to Axis spawn, so it will speed up a bit.) If you kill all exposed tank crewman in 1 tank you will get 3-4 human kills.
2a. Game Mode and Map Achievements
- All other game modes can be played with bots. Only Search and Destroy (S&D) achievements require another player to be present.
- Territories Mode
Territory Rookie

Countdown Veteran
Win 100 Countdown RoundsIf you have the intention of doing this as fast as possible, look for a bot server that has the minimum amount of slots. play defense and on the map, Commissar's House, run up and kill the
smaller waves as fast as you can, then kill the defenders as fast as you can after switching sides. As such a round should take 3 minutes to complete. The key is fewer slots, and fewer bots. - Firefight Mode

- Multiplayer Campaign
To The Front!
Participate in an online campaignThere are still a few campaign servers up so I highly suggest getting this achievement before they eventually wither away and die.
Hero of the Soviet Union
Complete a Russian online campaign with a victoryTo secure a victory as fast as possible, capture all territories on the map or force enemy combat power to zero. Do so as the Russians.
Knight's Cross
Complete a German online campaign with a victoryTo secure a victory as fast as possible, capture all territories on the map or force enemy combat power to zero. Do so as the Germans.
2b. Search and Destroy mode Achievements
- Though S&D servers were extinct, I have recently requested a server for S&D to exist from the 29th Infantry Division. They have been gracious enough to run an S&D server indefinitely. Be on the lookout for that server, and take this opportunity to play on that server, because as far as I know, it's the only server that accomodates the S&D mode right now, and only way to attain those achievements.
- Currently S&D servers are once again, extinct. It is advised to seek out a clan or an empty clan owned, server, and ask admins if they wouldn't mind swapping the server over to S&D for awhile.
- S&D servers are once again up, but are limited and you have to know where and when to search for them. I'm from Southeast Europe so my time zone is UTC/GMT +2 hours which is very important for what I'm about to say next. Every single day at 09:00 (am, my time zone) NFOservers.com start up S&D servers on Apartments map. These servers don't start up all at the same time, but they go up one by one somewhere between 09:00 and 10:00, and I'm not sure how many of them there actually are. If no one messes with you and your friend farming plants and disarms, you can play through approximately 4 to 5 servers a day with 11 rounds on each which means 5 plants and 6 disarms or vice versa depending on a faction you choose. The reason you can play only 4 to 5 games of S&D a day is that once you finish a game you can't choose to play it again on the same server, it offers you to choose game mode and map after game, like always, but there is no S&D on the list which means you have to go to the next available S&D server. This is also the only drawback to this method, and will take you a few days, or maybe even a week, depending on how lucky you are with servers and no one bothering you while farming, but since it's the only "free" way, it's a good way. I'm not sure when did these servers start operating like that and for how long while they continue to do so, so try to grab the opportunity as soon as possible.
- Necrophilius, 8 July 2020S&D Bomberman Bronze
Plant a bomb in Search & DestroyAs long as there's another person in the S&D server with you, you can start the round. The bomb you plant doesn't need to explode in order for it to count.
S&D Bomberman Silver
Plant 10 bombs in Search & DestroySee S&D Bomberman Bronze and Gold
S&D Bomberman Gold
Plant 100 bombs in Search & DestroySeeing as you need 100 plants and it's a long way, ask a friend to take turns planting and disarming bombs. The best and quickest map is SD_Warehouse. So both of you benefit by not killing each other, and allowing each other to plant and then disarm.
S&D Cool Under Pressure Bronze
Disarm a bomb in Search & DestroyDisarming will be harder than planting, as multiple objectives mean you can plant a bomb and run away and camp an area, which is a trap for a person who disarms. So the best policy, is to help others with the achievement, and build trust by taking turns and not backstabbing people.
S&D Cool Under Pressure Silver
Disarm 10 bombs in Search & DestroySee S&D Cool Under Pressure Bronze and Gold
S&D Cool Under Pressure Gold
Disarm 100 bombs in Search & DestroyDo remember that you require the help of someone rather than they need you. S&D can be played normally, but the chances of disarming are lower, as fighting back requires that you kill the bomber, or enemy team, and they won't let you disarm without a fight and dying themselves and the main problem with this is that wiping out the enemy team ends the round. Finding a friend to work this out with you is your best bet.
S&D Rookie
Win a round in Seach & DestroyJust being on the winning team is enough to count. Play normally or ask a friend to work on the other achievements with you.
S&D Experienced
Win 10 rounds in Search & DestroySee S&D Rookie and Veteran.
S&D Veteran
Win 100 rounds in Search & DestroyAnother long haul achievement. However, you'll get this eventually if you're going for the Bomberman and Pressure achievements as it will take a hundred plants and disarms each to get this.
Kaboom!
Plant a successful bomb in Search & DestroyA successful bomb is one that explodes, hence "Kaboom!" It is only required to be done once, and you are required to plant it. Be sneaky, be fast, be clever, and try not to wipe out the enemy team. The round ends if you do
Killjoy
Kill a player as he tries to plant a bomb in Search & DestroyCamp out an objective in a serious game or ask a friend to set a bomb as you kill them.
3. Tank Achievements
- These achievements require the presence of tanks, best achieved on the map Gumrak or Barashka.
Unhatched Bronze
Kill an exposed tank crewmanPlayers are rarely dumb enough to unhatch themselves, unless they're russsian, and have to deal with a design of their tanks lacking a cupola, making it very difficult to see their surroundings. Bots in tanks unhatch themselves, when they do not see enemies. It's not hard to sneak up on them or hit them with a sniper rifle from a distance. It's all about timing and opportunity.
Unhatched Silver
Kill 10 exposed tank crewmenSee Unhatched Bronze and Gold
Unhatched Gold
Kill 25 exposed tank crewmenIf you have a friend, ask for help, and have them unhatch. The Germans tanks have one extra crew member to kill.
Tank Gunnery Bronze
Destroy an enemy tank at 900 meters with your tanks main gun as gunnersee Tank Gunnery Gold
Tank Gunnery Silver
Destroy an enemy tank at 1200 meters with your tanks main gun as gunnersee Tank Gunnery Gold
Tank Gunnery Gold
Destroy an enemy tank at 1500 meters with your tanks main gun as gunnerThis best done on Gumrak, and seeing as how difficult it is to get the right distance, a friend known as MFWIC will help demostrate the positions required for two players to get this achievement. Rather than shoot each other blindly, take turns, and let your friend know if he's firing too high or too low. letting them know if they're making hits.

Preferaby behind it or you will get shot to ribbons. dump a magazine into each track, and move on. Blow it up if you like. You will hear unsatisfying "thud" noises, but it still counts.
Pictures from this AT rifle manual describe exactly where to shoot in excellent detail.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=416647696&searchtext=AT+rifle
Aim at the Green zones, denoting the tracks.Excellence in Gunnery
Destroy 25 enemy tanks with your tank in a single roundPlay on Gumrak, as a friend to play as an enemy commander. And as a commander yourself, send you friendly tanks to defend an objective. Find a location that overlooks an area, have your friend use the "follow me" command, driving in wide circles around the target area. Enemy tanks usually will follow rather than shoot back. You should have no issue getting 25 kills. Use this guide if you are unable to comprehend where to shoot, and how to kill a tank in two shots and under. Default timing is usually 20mins for you to kill 25 tanks. Remember that you are shooting moving targets, adjust accordingly.

4. Transport Achievements
- These achievements require a transport vehicle. The most common maps upon which these achievements can be farmed is Barashka or Rakowice.
Riding Shotgun Bronze
Kill 10 enemies with an on-board machine gunYou don't need many people for this, and a bot server will be helpful, as you are a very obvious target on a transport machinegun. Playing as any faction on Barashka or Rakowice, will offer you the opportunity to farm kills.
Riding Shotgun Silver
Kill 100 enemies with an on-board machine gunSee Riding Shotgun Bronze and Platinum.
Riding Shotgun Gold
Kill 250 enemies with an on-board machine gunSee Riding Shotgun Bronze and Platinum.
Riding Shotgun Platinum
Kill 1000 enemies with an on-board machine gunThis will take a lot of grinding. An empty bot server is best for this. There are a number of custom maps, such as Rakowice, that offer better opportunities to sit back and mow bots down.
The Transporter
Drive 10000 meters in a transport with multiple passengersFind some friends and go on a road trip. You can unlock this naturally, but it's highly unlikely these days.
Swiss Cheese
Survive 3 tank shell hits with a transportBest use the German Halftrack for this. Get in the map Barashka, your engine is in the front, protect that, but let the bots shoot out your rear passenger sides. Alternatively, have a friend get in a tank. You sit in the driver's seat. Have your friend shoot out the passenger area three times.
Camper Van
Capture 50 objectives with a transport inside a capzoneThe fastest way to do this is to is by playing on Barashka, getting in a transport, and capturing Objective C, the bridge, as there is a lot of cover there, which confuses and angers the bots. After completing the capture, swap teams and get another transport to recapture it from the other side. Repeat until satisfying the count necessary to gain the achievement.
Transport Hunter Bronze
Blow-up a transportBest done in conjunction with the "Sitting Duck" series of achievements. player on a bot server, Barashka map, as the Russians for this, and Go to the Suggested locations.
Location 1
Location 2
Location 3 (uncommon)Transport Hunter Silver
Blow-up 10 transportsSee Transport Hunter Bronze and Gold
Transport Hunter Gold
Blow-up 100 transportsIt is advised to move between locations 1 and 2, as seen in the bronze description to repeatedly to hit the transports, that respawn on the other location by the time you destroy one.The buildings provide better cover and concealment against enemy tanks.
Defanged
Kill 5 transport machine gunnersPlaying as the Russians in the Bridges of Drushina map, shooting down a player dumb enough to display himself in that mounted position is an option. Asking a friend to help you is another option as bots do not enter transports. The presence of another player necessary for this achievement.
Stripping Assets
Kill 3 passengers of the same transport without destroying the transportAs this achievement is a matter of luck, the only other option or chance of getting it is with a friend. Previous version of this guide stated that you need at least 2 friends which is not true. This is easily achievable on Barashka with only 1 friend. All you have to do is enter Allies faction and get to objective D where German transport is located. Your friend will then enter passengers seat in transport, stand up and get shot by you. Your friend should repeat this process 3 times and the achievement is yours. The transport doesn't need to and shouldn't be driven because it is required to ensure that the same transport your friend enters multiple times doesn't explode, as empty transports away from their spawn point are on an explosive timer.
-NecrophiliusSitting Duck Bronze
Knock the tracks off an enemy transport or destroy its engine in Realism or Classic modeIgnore the tracks. It takes too long. Using the locations listed in Transport Hunter, get a tank, and fire at the engine displayed below. White smoke emanating from the front denotes a successful engine destruction that will count towards the achievement.
1. You can get them with only bots on server.
2. You can get them by shooting at friendly transports, you don´t need to waste time of getting to the other side of the map and risk getting destroyed by enemy tanks.
3. Most important notice, I unlocked "Sitting Ducks Silver" and "Sitting Ducks Gold" both at the same time because I finally tried to destroy one engine with Anti-Tank rifle for a change. Using Anti-Tank Class and rifle probably triggered the achievements which accumulated when I used tank to destroy engines, but didn´t unlock until I used the rifle. After destroying very large amount of engines with tank I had to destroy just one with AT rifle for both of them to unlock.

Sitting Duck Gold
Knock the tracks off 100 enemy transports or destroy their engines in Realism or Classic modeUsing knowledge from the "Transport Hunter," series of achievements, and "Sitting Duck Bronze," You can consider how best to approach this achievement.
4.5. Sid's guide to transport achievements
A little addition to "Sitting duck"
I found couple ways to get it faster, without riding between spawns:
-- The 'lazy' way --
1. Take soviet AT at beginning, go to C at transport, take it. It will take ~2:30 to take C alone. You will also increase "Camper Van" stat.
2. Ride to D and destroy german transport's engine and transport itself (+ "Transport Hunter"). Soviets are must start taking B already. If soviets are not at B, ride there and take it (+ "Camper Van").
3. Destroy friendly transport's tracks which you used, blow with it or suicide.
4. Continue as german tank. If B and C occupied by USSR, there's 2 transports near spawn, so you just need to drive forward until you'll bump into the wall here...

5. ...and rotate tank tower to destroy transport's engine. Then destroy transport. If transport is alive, its respawn time is much longer.
6. Repeat until the end of time. Don't forget that tank commander (unexposed too) can rotate tower faster by looking at the point & pressing m1.
So ~20 seconds to destroy transport, ~1:30 till it will respawn - you can get 12-16 points / 20 mins with ammo picking up.
-- The 'little faster' way --
1. Just take german AT, respawn at the point where transport is and destroy it's engine. If you shoot in the right spot, 1 clip is enough.
2. Take AT grenade, come closer, blow transport and yourself.
3. Respawn at another point where transport is and repeat.
You will run a little, but because of no time waste at beginning, you'll get 15-18 points / 20 mins.
Also at D, when round begins, sometimes two transports are available instead of one. And if B and C were taken by soviets, there will be 2 transports at 'lazy way' point, so you can combine this methods.
P.S. It's very bugged achievement, so don't be afraid if your stats has no sense.
One guy had 170/100 points, my stats jumped up and down until stucked at 33/100. So anyway, just continue till you get 100 (I used pen & paper, lol) and start "triggering" achievement, trying all weapons at all transports and it's parts. Someone got it by AT, I got it by destroying soviet transport's engine (after I destroyed both tracks!) by T34.

Copy the files in your "red orchestra 2" folder (in steam library) and put them somewhere else on your comp. Your red orchestra 2 folder should now be empty.
Now, copy all the files in your "red orchestra 2 single player" folder and paste them into the (now empty) "red orchestra 2" folder.
Run "rising storm/red orchestra 2 multiplayer" from the shortcut
You are now actually playing single player but steam thinks you are playing multiplayer. Simply play through the campaign and you will earn the achievements.
Once you are done, put your files back where they need to be.
Method 2

Both methods are technically alike, but the level of detail is different.
Update Method 3 (21/9/2023):
If there's no success in the single player functioning, this method might work.
The files in either Method 1-2 may no longer be complete, so I'm putting Rhizzy's updated instructions here:
"We are supposed to download ALL files, not just the 70MB single player folder. Then install the game by running Setup 1.exe, then move over the newly installed game files to the Steam folder."
-RhizzyGerman Commander
Complete the German Campaign on any difficultyThe German Campaign is first, as there does not appear to be a choice anymore.
Soviet Commander
Complete the Soviet Campaign on any difficultyThe Soviet Campaign will be second, after the German Campaign. Don't worry, you'll get this if you are aiming for the full campaign.
Master of Tutorials
Complete all of the training missionsAll Training Missions will be played in the German Campaign. If you are playing the Soviet campaign without completing all training missions something has gone terribly wrong.
Boot Camp
Complete the basic training missionThis should be the first achievement you get. Do what you're told in the tuitorial and you'll get it when mission is over.
Advanced Leadership Camp
Complete the Commander training missionMainly to teach you about artillery. Don't get confused between marking where your men are supposed to attack, and pressing default key "b" to use the command wheel to direct them to attack.
Leadership Camp
Complete the Squad Leader training missionTraining with minions. Good times. Same deal, don't get confused with the command wheel and directly marking move orders.
Support Camp
Complete the Support training missionYou learn to use anti-tank grenades, and anti-tank rifles, against what you may ask? figure it out.
Armored Camp
Complete the Tank training missionDriving and directing a tank are two separate things.

Hero
Complete the full campaign on heroThis is going to be a very very very anger inducing time, with bots that shoot you with perfect accuracy, and without even looking at you. They shoot you without turning to face you, they do all sorts of insane trash. They always know where you are and where you will be. Just hide somewhere if you're the last soldier in your team at respawn. If you're the commander, press "N" or use your tactical map to force a respawn if things go south.
Stonewall
Complete a defense mission while successfully completing the map without losing the first objectiveIf you fail to hold the objective, restart the entire mission. The same principle as Countdown mode is applied here.
X. Inb4 Reset. a.k.a: The completionist's bane. UPDATED
- There is absolutely nothing you can do, as far as I know, other than to have had this game on release.
In B4 Reset
Own the game before all the achievements had reset that one time in in 2011.As of 27/11/2018. The devs have listened and may award the achievement to those who have achieved 139/140 of the achievements
https://steamcommunity.com/app/35450/discussions/0/1732087825004478913/?ctp=7#c1741100729971900130
It is advised that if you hope to get the achievement awarded to you by the devs, that you post there, letting the devs know.
Rising Storm
1a. Kill based Achievements
- Completing these achievements on bot servers are fine. Again, getting another player to help would be optimal.
Smoke on the water
Kill someone with a flamethrower while he is in the waterMany maps offer a body of water for you to boil an unfortunate sushi over. Hanto is the prefered choice.
Chicago Typewriter
Kill 10 enemies with the Thompson without reloadingCompleting Al Capone's violin's achievement offers a Drum magazine, with 50 rounds for your Thompson. You may attempt this prior to leveling your Thompson, but it ill not be as easy with 20-30 rounds compared to 50.
Last Man Standing
Kill 10 enemies with the 1911A1 in a single roundSquad leaders, Snipers, Commanders, Machinegunners, flamethrowers, and other classes offer the 1911A1 Pistol for you to kill your enemies with. Stealing one off a dead US soldier is also acceptable. Action mode will allow every class the sidearm.
Take a knee
Kill 5 enemies with a single mortar roundA group of charging US soldiers, or objective capture zones are excellent places to shell with your mortar. If you are having too much difficulty, ask a friend to play an enemy commander to order soldiers to cluster in one location.
Light my fire
Kill 10 Japanese with one tank of the flamethrowerPlay this on Realism, as Action mode will offer reduced damage. Don't die, hang out in capture zones, wait for them to come to you, dying is the only threat to this achievement, as killing your enemies is not difficult. Completing this achievement will net you "TOASTY!" if you have not already completed it.
Boo-yaka
Kill 12 enemies with the M12It's a shotgun. Close your eyes and shoot. You'll hit something.
Pop Gun
Kill an enemy with the Nambu 14 pistolVery easily done, as it's not a terrible weapon, and all that is necessary is killing someone with it.
Woodpecker
Kill 5 enemies with one clip from the Type 92 HMGSee Woody Woodpecker.
Woody Woodpecker
Kill 10 enemies with one clip from the Type 92 HMGMaps that prominently feature this the Type 92 HMG are Peleliu, and IwoJima. Use it as you would a semi automatic rifle. If you are completely terrible at shooting others, ask a friend to stand in front of you 10 times.
TOASTY!
Kill 10 enemies with the flamethrower in one lifeCan be done the same time as "Light my fire." The difference being that you are allowed to resupply for this achievement. Do not be afraid to fire blindly and out through buildings and use deflected fire to hit your enemies.
Bring the rain
Spot an enemy who is then killed by mortar firePlay as the Mortar man class on the Japanese side, or steal one. Spot an enemy, default key "z." Then blow them up. You don't need to be the one to fire the mortar, as you can spot enemies to be subsequently killed by a friend.
Up close and personal
Achieve a melee kill with a Type 96/99 LMGLevel up a Japanese Light Machine gun. it will be upgraded with a bayonet which makes it easier to melee kill someone with it.
Blind Fire
Kill 5 enemies with deflected flamethrower fuelBuildings and bunkers are useful for this, as all you need to know is if your enemy is there, and after that, firing near them or bouncing your flames off a wall can set your enemies aflame.
Stick it to Tojo
As an Allied soldier, kill 100 Axis soldiers with a bayonetThis will take awhile. Play as a rifleman on the US side, and level a rifle if it does not have a bayonet. Stab them as you would for the achievement "Fix Bayonets."
Al Capone's violin
Unlock the Lvl 50 ThompsonLeveling the weapon is the only way to do this. Spraying into bots on a bot server is a faster way to level it.
BBQ chef
Get 100 kills with the flamethrowerSee Master Chef
Master Chef
Get 1000 kills with the flamethrowerVarmit: Again, faster to do with help of 1 friend. Join empty server with lot of bots. Your friend needs to join Axis and choose Commander and he needs to "stacks" all Axis bots somewhere in one place by pressing F and giving order to move them to this position. From my experience, best maps for doing this achievement are Betio (in houses with windows), Iwo Jima (in bunkers) and Saipan.
Give them PTSD.Ballistics Expert
Get 100 kills with the Type 89Using the mortar is incredibly easy. If you are unable to do so at far range, just directly fire it in front of you and watch anything you do not like get turned into a fine mist.
Ballistics Genius
Get 1000 Kills with a Type 89There's no "really fast" way, other than asking a friend to play commander on the other side to order their men to cluster for you to kill. However, normally killing bots seems to work fine.
1b. Human Kill based Achievements
- These Kill achievements require other players to be victims or help. Enter populated servers or ask friends to help for these achievements.
Kill Bill (or Hideki)
Kill a Japanese opponent using the KatanaKill a Japanese Squad leader, or Commander, and take their Katana. Kill another Japanese Soldier. Completing "Bringing a sword to a sword fight" will unlock this automatically.
Gardener
Kill 5 people in a single round with boobytrapsAs the Japanese soldier, you may equip grenades, and plant them by crouching and looking down. Iwo Jima is the better choice of map to complete this achievement, as most of the time, your enemies have a habit of looking up rather than down. At their feet. Where your toe-poppers are. If you are unable to get it, ask friends to help you.
Firefighter
Kill a flamethrower soldier using a melee attackAsk a friend. It's inadvisable to attempt this in a bot server.
Warm welcome
Kill 5 people in a banzai charge within 10 seconds with the flamethrowerLie in wait, hang around objective capture points, ask friends, do whatever you can. Best done in a populated server if you can manage to get into the flamethrower class. I recommend playing on lowest settings so you get the opportunity to grab the flamethrower first in a populated server. As of 2017 people have been complaining about achievement being bugged and unlockable. The thing is it is bugged if you use exactly 5 or more people to banzai at you at the same time. I achieved it with 9 people, 1 American and 8 Japanese. The 8 Japanese were divided into 2 groups of 4 and the 2 groups made banzai attack with a few seconds of pause in between the groups running. My theory is that this is achievable with 5 Japanese too, with 3+2 or 4+1 formation of groups or any other number, as long as it's not 5+ people banzaing at the same time. This theory of mine is not proven, but i think it should work. When I personally achieved it, the Japanese were all using bayonets for banzai attack and were all defending an objective on Saipan map, although I don't think any of these conditions are relevant for achieving the Warm Welcome.
-NecrophiliusWhack a mole
Kill 2 people using the same stationary MG within 15 secondsUse a sniper rifle, and watch the bunkers on Iwo Jima, or Guadal Canal. You cannot do this on a bot server. Find two other players if you want help with it.
Banzai buster
As an American soldier kill 5 Axis soldiers that are in a banzai chargeBeing a Machine gunner or a Flamethrower would be helplful for this. Asking a friend who has a mic to be on the other side, to organize a banzai charge would also be helpful.
Bringing a sword to a sword fight
As an American soldier kill an Axis soldier wielding a Katana, with a Katana.It is very rare for a player to take out their sword. Ask a friend to die twice to help you achieve this.
2. Game Mode and Map Achievements
- Easily done on bot servers, both Territory and Online Campaign modes respectively. "divided" servers offer online campaign modes, but as I previously said, campaign modes aren't entirely common.
For the Emperor!

3. Special Achievements
- Additional achievements unrelated to kills are listed here.
BARtender
Resupply 20 automatic riflemenSlightly tedious, but not difficult either. Playing as the US forces, find a player holding a BAR.
Specific Maps such as RSTE-GuadalCanal may force only the M1919A6 to be available, and should be avoided. Other maps often allow the option of the BAR or the M1919A6 LMG Browning.Garand Master Flash
Use the "ping trick" on an M1 GarandYou are required to level your M1 Garand for the Ping trick to be available. Using the same button as you would to change out the barrel of a machine gun. Default button "6"
