This achievement is called "Oh, no you don't"
You get this achievement for killing a Ram using the tackle skill.
The rams are the giant no armed charging guys. It is best to get there health as low as possible before trying to kill them with a tackle as the tackle skill does very little damage and the achievement can still be unlocked as long as it is a tackle that kills the ram.
(*Note: you must have at least 2 Ranks in the tackle skill in order to do any damage with tackle. You should see damage appear above the Rams head when you hit him. (credit goes to mattcrossUNC))
(*Note: Sam B is the only character that gets the tackle skill. (credit goes to Mercenary Girl)) |

I read the solution above by Cro11 and I would like to add something:
Sam B. must have 2 ranks in his Tackle skill in order to cause physical damage and the Ram is wearing a straight-jacket (appropriate attire for an unstable Zombie like the Ram!). The problem I was having was dying quickly when attempting to Tackle this beast...even after taking what seemed to be 99% of his life total away from him, He still only needed one or two shots on me to send me to a respawn. This not only made me poor and frustrated, but most places I found a Ram, the respawn point set me far enough away from him to respawn HIS health-bar...bummer!
I finally got this cheevo when attemping the Side-Quest "Fast Aid"...found in Act2 at the Fast-Travel location "Square". After you talk to Lucas, he'll send you out to a pharmacy for medicine...at the doorway to this place is a Ram...the best part about this is that you will respawn about 100ft. from the doorway where he is standing if you happen to die (this respawn area was close enough to the Ram as to NOT trigger his health-bar regenaration...very sweet!). So basically you want whittle him down any way you can until almost no health is showing on his bar and then go for the Tackle...Get a good distance away from him and get him to charge you...at this point you want to step aside, let him go by and turn to face him...from here his back should be to you and he'll be howling at the moon (or sun depending on the time of day!) and at his most vulnerable point...Start the Tackle run (click the left toggle to run) and make sure you hit him in the BACK...you do a great deal more damage when you hit him in the back and you are also safe from his Big-Boot which can quickly send to the grave...rinse and repeat this charge-step-turn-Tackle routine until the cheevo is yours!
As far as damaging the Ram to lower the health-bar, I used a Molotov to start and then chippy weapons after I eluded one of his charges...Dont use a Molotov on him if he is standing still in the first spot you encounter him...reason being he will stand there like a goon and die a firey death...instead, make him move first and then light him up...when he starts to burn he will move out of flame and go back to his original spot without dying...very helpful!
Good Luck and Happy Cheevo Hunting! |

The achievement is call "Oh no you didn't" and it is obtained by using the tackle function to kill a Ram (the big dudes in straight jackets)
The achievement can be frustrating to say the least. Rams have a ton of health compared to Sam B and Sam has the most health of any player.
Health of the Rams
Level.......Health
1.........280
12.......1720
25........4000
50.........9600
The above are approximate numbers for the Rams hit points at full health. In my experience when I tackled the Ram I did 30 points damage to him. So at level 25 that would be 0.75% damage to him and if he is a level 50 that would be around 0.31% damage to him so it’s going to take some time to kill him even if he is low on health. Sam is the only one who can tackle and you will have to be at level 2 at tackling at least to cause damage, but i recommend level 3 because the tackle uses much less stamina so you can still avoid the Ram in between runs. When I got this achievement it took me two lives and luckily I respond close enough to the Ram so that he did not regenerate any of his health. It still took me about 10-15 runs at him to kill him and get the achievement to pop. When I got this achievement I was at level 29 or 30 and it took the ram 3 bull rushes to send me from full health to my grave.
Things to remember
You need to get his health low but not to kill him all the way it’s a numbers game and it may take a few tries and some luck is always nice too. Also I would avoid using any modified weapons that deal shock or fire or poison damage because while this may be your best weapon and can take his health down faster nothing sucks more than giving the ram a full shock from your weapon when he is just about where you want him and instead of being at 1% health he dies from the shock
Remember to use the dodge feature (A button and move the left stick) this is best used either jumping left or right during the Rams charge at you. This will let him sail right by you and allow you to get into position for your tackle run when he pauses after his run. Use this method to both take down his health by attacking him once he runs by as well as using it to set up your tackle runs
I was able to sometimes hit him two times during a tackle run and score a whooping 60 pts damage to him but this allows some time for him to react and I did take a kick from him once while doing this. I would recommend only hitting him once per run to keep your health up and an extra 30 pts damage is not worth a third of your health.
It is also a very good idea to kill all other zombies that are in the general area before you go after the Ram. While they don’t do near the amount of damage he does they can wear you down pretty quick, but always keep an eye on the Ram so you don’t get blindsided by a charge.
Also remember you can regenerate your health by waiting if you don’t have any med kits or food nearby. The Ram will often lose interest in you if you are on top of a car so this will give you time to regenerate some health or use a med pack or two while he slowly walks away.
It does take some time to time the dodge right, too early and he can adjust his run and still hit you, too late and well you know what happens there. This is about timing and patience along with some perseverance and luck never hurt much! |

achievement - oh no you didn't
kill a ram with a tackle attack
NOTE this solution is for high rank players, or people who have completed the game
ok so in order to get this you MUST be playing as Sam B. Wierd I know as there is a footballer in the game but anyway. You also MUST have at least to points in the tackle ability.
Now this is a hard achievement so to make it easier than the other guides do the following...
when finishing the game start a second playthrough, SP or co-op doesn't matter, when you get to the Slums area in ACTII press start>game lobby. Now drop in to other peoples games untill you have a low rank player, around rank 10-15 (to see their rank press back LB an look next to the host gamertag) play the missions with them untill you see the first ram.
IMMIDETLY press start and 'drop out,' now you have a low rank ram and only you to hit it. use your fists and keep running up and hitting it in the back till its health is around a quarter.
Now simply tackle into it by sprinting into it.
I was level 35 and took me 3 tackles but it does vary depending on your rank. |

| Credit for this video goes to AchievementHunters. On this video it also shows Gesundheit! and Light My Fire, but for Oh, No You Don't it starts at 4:20 in the video. For this you have to be Sam B. and have to have the tackle skill up to at least two points in for any damage to show, best area for Rams is in the Slums.

Okay this achievement is not as bad as I thought originally. Assuming Sam B isnt your main character, the best time to go for this is during your Life 4 Right runs. As long as you skip all sidequests that are skippable, you should reach Act II around 12-13. By this point should have easily been able to upgrade to Lvl 3 tackle as well.
What you want to do is keep your machete you got from saving Nikolai during black hawk down, and upgrade it, you are throwing away the run anyway so money doesnt really matter. Fully upgraded, give or take some minor discrepancies, at that level you do about 200-300 damage on the ram.
Now we get to the actual business. Where do I do this achievement? Very first enemy you see in Act II in front of the church. Perfect place, the Ram is actually trapped here, if you run out of any of the gates he cannot follow. Most of the other zombies here wont pay you much attention unless you attack, but if you want you can clear them out. So basically what you want to do is, stand in front of him, and as he get ready to charge, dash to one side, and he should hit a wall and get stunned.
Key part, run up to him and slash him 3 times. You can risk 4 but you might kill him. At 3 slashes you whittle his health to about less than 1/4. And tackle level 3 does enough damage at this low level so its not a big deal. If you only get in two swings, set him up again, and put in one more swing.
Now when you are going for the actual tackle I feel the best place is the front gate, it is guarded by benches on two sides, with an opening just big enough for the ram to charge through. Stand in front of the gate, and as he charges jump over one of the benches. He is set up perfectly for you know, back facing you, only one path to go, so hold down the stick to run, and tackle is an auto skill that will hit the ram as you run through.
Now it will take more hits, unless you risked a fourth machete swing in which case I imagine you might be able to one shot him. But like I said, you tackle and run through, and should run out of the gate where he cant hit you. You can then run around, let him follow you out and repeat.
Plus as a bonus, if you die, you will probably spawn close enough, I did, that he wont heal.
Key Takeaways:
The most important point is you want to tackle the ram at the lowest possible level, because tackle never really does more damage as you level up, but the rams life skyrockets. At this low level, 30 dmg a hit is pretty decent, as the ram has no more than a 1000 hp by my estimation.
Watch your health, and if you need a breather, any of the three gates are safe zones.
The machete from Nikolai, is probably the best weapon, that you are guranteed to find on an Act 1 run, you might get something better, and have to adjust accordingly. But if you get the machete, about 3 swings, just monitor his life bar, you want it down about to about 1/4 or less.
As a bonus tip, Sam B has a skill that allows him to regenerate based on time, ie every minute he gets x health. So if you run out of health packs, just wait behind the gate, and you should slowly heal, and just goad the ram, by being close, but watch out for his kicks, they have a long range. |

| Just got this achievement at beginning of Act 2 at the church. Basically what i did was eliminate all the other zombies so it was just me and the ram, then all i would do is sidestep him and make him go into the fire....that as well as a couple good machete chops and he was down to no health at all. Then just sidestep him as he charges you and then left click and run towards him and after a couple charges he was down. Watch out for the fire though as i did it one time and he died in the fire. Hope this helps! |

| I don't know if any of these awesome solutions mentioned this yet, but when I was trying to get the achievement I died a couple of times and finally killed the Ram with a tackle but it didn't pop. Later I killed a Ram with a tackle and didn't die trying and it did pop. So I believe that you mustn't die when attempting to earn this achievement. |

I think I found a quick way to get this, when I tried for this achievement, I noticed when I when I killed a ram, his health went to 0 then like 2 seconds later he died, during those 2 seconds I charged at him and the achievement popped.
Maybe it was a fluke, but worth a try. |
