How to unlock the The Four Horsemen achievement

    First you want to be on the map Spiral.
    You want 2 Paladins and 2 Warthogs.
    Paladins should have Ultimate Samson as their pilot. (Samson MIGHT work just not as well)
    Warthogs should have Lexi as their pilot. (For the gun damage boost, others have it as well)

    THE ONLY THINGS YOU SHOULD UPGRADE ON YOUR AIRMECHS IS THE DAMAGE AURA FOR THE PALADIN AND GUN DAMAGE ON THE WARTHOGS. If you upgrade anything else your not going to have enough credits to have enough units to win.

    The units you want to use are the Gatty, Buster Tank, T99, and Ratchet

    At the start, one paladin and one warthog go to the top-left base and the other pair to the bottom right.

    The creeps will only be able to capture 2 of the bases, so make sure you pick them up at the fortress after they have the first two and drop ten off at the other 2.

    You want to build about 10 Gattys at each base, as close as you can.
    Then you build between 3-5 Ratchets at each spot.
    Then you build 6 T99s and place them 3 on each side of your fortress. Try to have this done on wave 4. You can then ignore the air units for the rest of the time.
    After you have all those setup, build Buster Tanks exclusively to try to reach the unit cap. Ideally, you want to keep the Buster Tanks as close as possible so the Ratchets can heal any all of them. If you notice that a Ratchet has died, try to replace it.

    The Paladin and Warthog on each side should spend the entire wave shooting the enemies from the ground while standing in your army of Gattys/Buster Tanks, while building more Buster Tanks. ONLY GO TO GET THE BUSTER TANKS WHEN THE WAVE IS OVER OR YOUR BUILD QUEUE IS FULL. You don't want to go get a Buster Tank and come back to realize that 3 of them died while you were away.

    If one side is finishing off their enemies faster than the other it might be a good idea for everyone to drop their Buster Tanks on the side that needs them. For example, if one side is seeing quite a few of their units being destroyed halfway through the wave, they should tell the other side that they need to be replenished so that by the end of the wave everyone can drop 2-3 Buster Tanks each. VERY IMPORTANT TO ALSO REPLACE THE RATCHETS IF THIS HAPPENS. Wave 9 can be a bit of a doozy, but if you are less than 50 from the unit cap you should be good.


    This method also works for Solo and 2 Player Survival, with 4 Player Survival being the hardest by far. Practice this method in Solo before you try it in 2/4 Player so you know what has to be done. In 2 Player, both players should Paladins with the damage aura.

    Fire Hawk DNo mention in any of these solutions that if even one person disconnects, the achievement is void.

    SchaafyWell, then it would be a 3-person game, so you're not fulfilling the 4-person requirement...

    I take no credit for this video, it is the property of user "Deven Howell" on YouTube. This tactic worked for me, my friend, and 2 randoms (whom I had no contact with) on the map "Spiral". This video is not exactly a tutorial, but following the setup worked for me on my first try.

    What helped us was having one person who had the ultimate buckeys and ultimate moneymakers. My friend constantly dropped cashboxes so I could build goliaths and destroyers. I changed my pilot to Samson as I built most of the turrets and heavy units and his bonus gives more defense and attack to any units I build.

    The Four Horsemen

    I have done this achievement a few times now and I wanted to say the best strategy I have seen and the base didn't even take damage!

    The best map is Survival (on survival) and you basically block off all 4 pathways with T-99 Turrets, and a few repair units (Patcher, Rachet, or best thing in survival Honeypot).

    One of the most unused items which is a extreme amount of help is Statis mines, set up 3-4 of them at each blocked point to slow down the enemys (spead them out, but they must stay connected).

    Keep putting T-99 turrets or Gatty turrets at the blocked off points and those spots should hold well. Now when it comes to being later in the game put devastators at each valley and the 4 regular points where enemies are comming from, but also put Stasis Mines in the valley and a repair unit(s) with your devastators.

    In the end you should have at least 2 devastators in each valley and 1 at the other 4 points.

    Every player being Paladin is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as the Offensive Aura is EXTREMELY useful! If you can get him make sure to grab Samson (Ultimate Samson is better if you can get the diamonds) for his Unit Upkeep increase and unit damage and resistance increases.
