| Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Achievement Tips
Published by  forahobby | Page views: 5362

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men™ offers up achievements that by and large flow naturally as you play through the single-player, co-op and online modes. There are a few head-scratchers though that are less than obvious, and at least one story-related achievement (Behemoth) worthy of some step-by-step instruction. The following tips should help clarify the achievements that foster confusion as well as walk you through the more obvious, but challenging Gamerscore-bolstering encounters.
Sun Tzu: Let your crew do the dirty work - (20 points)
This lovingly vague achievement requires you to complete an entire chapter without ever firing a weapon, or using a melee attack. Instead, you must use your squad members to clear out whatever enemies the level requires.
There are a couple of points to consider here. First off, many Kane & Lynch players attempt this achievement on the Trial level, which while seemingly logical, ends only in frustration when the achievement refuses to unlock. The game forces you to fire a weapon as a part of its tutorial, and while there are no enemies involved, it's enough to throw off the Sun Tzu achievement.
What Sun Tzu requires is a level with the use of squad members from start to finish. If you're looking for a surefire chapter to get it done, try this achievement on Chapter 9 as you break your cronies out of prison. This way, Kane can sit back and direct the troops as needed. While you can't kill any enemies, the achievement doesn't preclude you from reviving squad members.
Teflon: Avoid damage on a level - (20 points)
Where the Trial level cannot be used to unlock the Sun Tzu achievement, it's the perfect fit for taking a stab at the Teflon achievement, which requires that you take no damage at all during a level. The Trial chapter is by far the shortest, least challenging level of all, so it shouldn't be a problem. If you are still struggling though, choose the difficulty setting "Aspirin."
You only ever truly take damage when the edges of the screen flash red. Don't restart the scene just because you feel the controller rumble a bit when an enemy is firing at you.
Crowd Control: Surgical precision in the nightclub - (30 points)
From the moment you knock Kane's former lady friend out cold and take her hostage, there can be no collateral damage in the nightclub. The easiest path to success here is to eliminate the use of guns entirely. Instead, pick out the enemies in the crowd and then rush them with a melee attack.
You can identify the bad guys in the crowd by the flashlights they carry. Just be sure to keep an eye on Kane. If an enemy takes him out, it's game over.
 Weapon Achievements
There are a few weapon/attack-based achievements that could do with a bit of clarification. Consider the following:
Pushblade Symphony: All that's needed here are several melee kills. You should pick this up easy enough during the nightclub sequence provided you follow the preceding Crowd Control achievement tips.
Headmaster: Score forty-seven headshots throughout the game. Why forty-seven? Kane & Lynch developer IO-Interactive also developed the Hitman series, which stars, you guessed it, Agent 47.
Boomstick: Rack up a healthy kill-count with the shotgun and this achievement should unlock sooner, rather than later. Remember, while Kane always starts off with the shotgun, you can swap weapons with him by standing near Kane, clicking down the right stick and pressing up twice on the left stick.
Frag Out: Take out a five-man crew with a single grenade for this achievement. If you're looking for the ideal spot, try tagging the SWAT team that bustles down the escalator in the subway station near the end of the Cracking Up chapter.
Behemoth: Stop the roaring beast - (10 points)
This achievement may unlock as a matter of course during the storyline, but many a Kane & Lynch player has been stumped when confronted with the enormous dump truck during the Reunion chapter. Here are a few quick tips to help you blast through this obstacle and get on with the game.
Preparation: You should spot several enemies carrying submachine guns near the end of the battle leading up to the dump truck encounter. Make certain to claim these guns while you can.
Run Over: Once the dump truck runs over the top of Kane and Jenny, climb out of the hole, but don't waste any submachine gun shots on the enemies standing on the back of the vehicle. If you must, use your pistol to take them out.
Another Pass: Once the dump truck reaches the top of the hill, it will slowly back up and square itself for another run at Jenny. When it does, immediately begin peppering the driver's window with bullets, but only in short bursts. The automatic fire is inaccurate if you hold the trigger down. Keep constant burst fire on the window while strafing to the right to be sure the dump truck doesn't run you over. Also, order Lynch (press Y) to fire on the driver as well.
Last Pass: Once the dump truck has roared by a second time, you have one final chance to shatter the driver's window and stop the truck dead in its tracks. Ignore the enemies posted up front and to the left of the driver. Provided you keep steady fire on the window, it should break, and consequently, kill the driver.
Window Only: Many gamers try get too cute and line up headshots on the driver, but that's unnecessary. Just aim at the window itself, not the driver and you should succeed.
Berserkopath: Make the most of Lynch's condition (30 points)
Those that play through the Campaign single-player may end up scratching their heads and wondering where they went wrong with these achievements, but the simple truth is that they are unlocked only during co-op.
Berserkopath requires that the player playing Kane eliminate both civilians and police alike after his breakdown during the Cracking Up chapter
Bullseye: Lynch reacts fast at the Exchange - (20 points)
Those that play through the Campaign single-player may end up scratching their heads and wondering where they went wrong with these achievements, but the simple truth is that they are unlocked only during co-op.
The Bullseye achievements asks that you (as Kane) take out the two snipers on the overpass aiming at Kane during the exchange in Chapter 6.
These tips should clear up some of the confusion around achievements in Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Now you can experience gaming life as everyone's favorite demented psychopath and rack up your Gamerscore as well.
