    This Achievement can be a royal pain in the backside.

    You must make it from the start of the level to the end of the bridge descend without killing anyone. And by anyone I mean Army and Zombies, you really get very little help from the guy you're with (despite him having a gun!)

    The best way to attack this level is by running between Checkpoints, you can use your gun to shoot open doors but that's about it. Occasionally you will come across food which can really help and you also get food from Checkpoints.

    You can die as many times as you like because it does not factor into the Achievement.

    When you reach the end of the level and come to the Rocket Launcher guys try to sit back and allow the other guy to pick off the ones at the start but then again don't rely on him to help as you make your way up to the top. It's all about luck throughout.

    I have posted an edited video of how to get the Achievement, all deaths have been taken out because there were a few.

    FiveWizzThis achievement makes me want to throw my TV out of the window. I got lured into playing this as the walkthrough suggests it's all a cake walk. What a huge mistake. This achievement is game ruining. Stupid.

    BonkekookSomething that also might help is remembering to turn the difficulty back down to Easy after defeating the previous level's boss. I got to the construction area on Normal before I even realized I was playing on a higher difficulty. Still immensely stupid but damn....I wasted an hour trying to do it on Normal.

    Scrib DeathI spent almost an hour patiently and carefully making my way up the tower at the end, coaxing my companion to try to shoot, and kept dying. Then I just jumped right up through it and made it through that part in about a minute. Of course.

    Serch sanTo anyone attempting this, here´s some advice:

    -Jump, jump, jump and never stop jumping. It makes you take less hits.
    -At the part with the horde try to time it so that your jumps line up with the barrels coming down.
    -At the end, don´t be afraid of hanging back a couple of seconds to make it so you can jump over the rockets instead of taking them to the face.
    -Don´t even bother with the companion, just ignore him.

    br34thedyn4m1teThe trick on the hoarde part is to trigger the hoarde then jump back past the sand bags and let the hoarde come to you as it spreads them out (they also take out the army guys), making it easier to jump through. Once I found that trick, I got through it in 1 go.

    Munchkinator99For what it's worth, as long as you don't start another level, it doesn't need to be done in one sitting.

    As the number of death doesn't matter nor does the difficulty, play on easy and get to those checkpoints. If you have too many enemies, go to your menu and reload last checkpoint.

    If you can't get pass an area (and are getting frustrated), the game has your last checkpoint saved; you can safely quit the game and resume at a later date. The key is that you don't initiate another level until you have completed this one. As long as you stay on this level, you could keep chipping at this achievement one checkpoint at the time until you are done.

    As the writer of the solution states; the end of the level is basically luck based... So I would resume my game whenever I had time I was willing to waste on this. I eventually got it (perhaps 4 different attempts/days).

    As another comment above, it took a bit of time before the achievement popped... The delay was significantl enough that I feared it glitched on me or that I inadvertently killed a guy prior... Be patient... ;)

    terriblygrnTruly a pain. Don't give up though. You can do it!

    WeezleramNot sure if anyone will still be going for this, but if you accidentally kill someone then you need to restart the level. I killed a zombie trying to shoot out a wooden platform, immediately reloaded the checkpoint, but didn't get the cheevo. I had to do it again from the beginning.
