    This achievement reminds us of why AI partners, while okay, are no where close to the real thing. This is the only achievement in the game, that I can remember, that you need a second player (or one person with two controllers). The AI partner will NEVER pick the shield.

    You will need to be behind your co-op friend when he has the shield and you will need to kill a total of 50 enemies (as the achievement said).

    This achievement also is the one you most likely will not get during the course of the game, unless you put a major focus on it.

    My favorite spot for both of the shield achievements is on the Aircraft Carrier. As you progress through the level you will reach a check point and will see a riot shield in the corner of the same hallway before going outside on a narrow walkway. There will be several enemies come out at you, once you kill them all reload the check point (DON'T GO INTO THE DOOR AT THE OTHER END OF THE WALKWAY). It will only take about 4-8 reloads depending how many you have killed in the duration of the game.

    Mobius EvalonThis is super easy to do alone in splitscreen on Recruit difficulty. Because of how Army of Two is designed, you have to alternate the aggro anyways to get anywhere which translates perfectly to one person handling two controllers. I got all 50 required kills in splitscreen by myself in about 15 minutes.

    The S bot 9000I counted 6 guys there, so if you get lucky you’ll only do this 7 times. Sometimes the guys like to chicken out and stay in cover though so it took me closer to around 10 tries lol

    i got it by running Somalia mission its the first time you encounter the shield. same thing 2 controllers second controller picks it up. you will encounter 7 or 8 enemies at a time just wash the checkpoint when they stop spawning.

    Also another easy way is 2 controllers, in Afganistan whe you go underground into the gas filled rooms. Pick up the shield with the 2nd controller, have you guy get behind him and go around to the left. Use you first controller to shoot the enemies there and continue around the corner shoot some more. Takes about 3 to 4 reloads and it's yours.

    Woods 501stwill your second player get the achievement if you are reloading? I tried it with a buddy over live and I got the achievement but his run didn't get him anything...any thoughts?

    M1 462If I were you I would just exit out and reload the checkpoint. If it still does not work after doing this, try having the second player start the live co-op campaign as host. Hope this works.
