Hi Guys,

here is my Solution for this Achievement. You need 4 Steps until you earn this.

Step 1: In the Mission "Karma" let DeFalco Escape with Karma
Step 2: After this, dont play the Strike Force Mission "Second Chance"
Step 3: In the Mission "Achilles Veil" you Kill with Farid Harperr, not try to shooting Menendez
Step 4: In the Mission "Odysseus" in the "Briggs" Shooutout. Farid kills DeFalco, DeFalco kills Farid and you earn this Achievement automatically.

Thats the simple or :) The Major Problem is, have you one of this Steps different because you dont know before you read this Solution, you must used the new Storyrewind as from the Mission "Karma"

Well, you play for 1 Achievement Mission 6-9 again und lose all your Storyprogress from Mission 6-11.....

And because its "nice" to play this SP again and again, for the Achievement "Good Karma" you need different Steps in the same Mission 6-9.

Regards

PS: sorry for my english,german :)

Just to add to ZasterModa123's solution, it's possible to shoot Menendez to get the "Ultimate Sacrifice" achievement, and as soon as the achievement pops up, reset and load, and then kill Harper. You'll restart from your last checkpoint and you won't have to do the whole mission again.

It's actually easier than what's posted before me. Showdown has to be seperate from the "Good Karma" and "Ship Shape" achievement. All I did to get the achievement was ignore ALL Strike Force Missions. Anything aside of the story should be avoided completely if you're going for the "Showdown" achievement. My method is much easier.

1. In the mission "Karma," let DeFalco escape and kidnap Chloe. If you get too close, he turns around and forces you to shoot it out with him, making you kill him which ruins the achievement.

2. In the mission "Achilles' Veil," Farid must survive at all costs. That means killing Harper (who is voiced by Michael Rooker from the original Black Ops Zombies!) and not shooting Menendez.

3. In the mission "Odyssey" It doesn't matter what else you've done or what you do now. You could have headshot Mason, burned Harper's face off or discovered CIA presence in the coke lab under the citadel. You just need to fight until you watch the cutscene where Farid and Defalco shoot it out with each other. Feel free to shoot Briggs in the face to celebrate!

Note: If you've already done a Strike Force Mission, you can rewind to the mission "Old Wounds". Follow the story and don't do any other missions and your achievement should pop!

In order to get this, you need three steps. Simply follow what is spoken in the video. You will automatically get the achievement after the cutscene shown in the video.
