How to unlock the I am Bad Company! achievement

    Boosting method:
    Play the game late at night hoping to find a server by yourself, since the game requires 4 people to start a match. Now if you find a match by yourself it should say requires 3 people to start. invite 3 friends to boost with and unlock the awards you wish to earn and each person taking a turn. I usually let each person get 5 savior trophies each for ex. than keep the rotation going. Now once you get a random in your game a whole mess of randoms will usually join. So once one random joins your game have your other 3 players quit out of the match and just wait for the random to leave. He will hopefully leave since the game will not start if 4 players are not in the room. doing this method I have been able to hold a server to myself for a good 2 to 3 hours.

    Helicopter Road Kills:
    If you are attempting to get the 4 road kills with a helicopter I would suggest doing this on conquest since a lot of conquest maps will give you helicopters. You don't have to actually fly the helicopter to get the road kills. You can just stay in the helicopter to where your blades are moving then have your boosting partner on the other team jump on top of a vehicle than into the helicopters blades. and each kill will count as a road kill.

    Potential glitch issues:
    Now as far as the achievement glitching for some people, I believe this may occur from the squad wild card award. I got the squad wild card award earlier this year and I got the savior trophies last like a lot of people suggest, and the achievement popped. While I was doing the achievement with one of my friends he got the saviors last but he didn't get the achievement. The only difference was he got the squad wild card award back when the game first came out. So you may be in the clear of this glitch if you have not yet gotten the squad card wild card or have only gotten this award in the past year or so.

    Whats a ChundyYou can 100% do the top squad wildcard in Conquest during 10k kills sessions, minus the 4 Gold Rush ONLY maps. There is a lot of unnecessary misinformation going around about this in sessions. I can confirm as I got them yesterday. You only need to be top squad for one of the rounds, not both. You can see if you got the top squad award by pressing RB before launching in to the next match.

    The tracker does not function whatsoever. It is not glitched, it just doesn't work and never has. You need to manually keep track. You do need to stay in the game from beginning of the round until the end. If you join halfway thru, I can confirm nothing will be glitched, but you may also not make any progress. I would mark these down differently on a spreadsheet in order to avoid future issues just in case.

    BOOSTING GUIDE

    The requirements for this achievement are quite simple: get every award. Unfortunately some awards are near impossible to get with regular play. Especially now, with only the die-hards still playing. So boosting is probably your best option. However boosting in this game is not simple and can be very frustrating. Some of the die-hards don't like it when you boost, and they will do anything to stop you from boosting. It's not uncommon to only get 1 award in a 4 hour session.

    But don't let this discourage you, it can be done. And the better the session is organized, the quicker you can get this high ratio achievement. In this guide I'll try to explain the best boosting methods, the awards themselves and give some general tips.



    Boosting methods
    There are different methods, depending on the number of people you got in the session. But before we go into that, you'll need to know some thinks first:

    Locking down Conquest
    Conquest is a game mode which comes with the free DLC. 5 flags, the more flags your team has captured, the faster the other team will lose tickets. Once a flag is captured you can spawn on that location. And now for the important part: a flag can be neutral, at which point no one can spawn on that location. If you neutralize all the flags in the map, then the only place to spawn is on your squad. If you can take out all the other players then they will be stuck at the spawn screen and the match is yours.

    Forcing a new Conquest match
    At the moment of writing this guide, there are so little people playing Conquest that most of the times there's only one Conquest match available. You can custom search for each map, but you'll always end up in that same match. If there are more than 2 other people playing on a side, then it becomes quite difficult to lock down the match. But if there are at least 18 people in that match (9vs9), then searching for a different map with a squad of 4 will create a new match. You'll probably going to have to use the other people in you session to fill the main match to 9vs9, so when the new match loads have them quit out, squad up and search for the new match. If you are quick enough, you'll be the only ones in that match. Lock it down and commence the boosting.

    Squad integrity
    A squad consists of 4 players and you'll have to set up the squad before entering any match to make sure you'll be on the same squad all the time. This is very important because otherwise randoms will be assigned to your squad and they will be able to spawn on you and ruin everything. Should you lose someone (disconnect or kicked for inactivity) it's best to have the rest of the squad quit out and squad up again.

    Time to boost
    The best time, as the other guides already mentioned, is at 23:00 CET during the week. Hardly anyone plays at that hour. However if you are unlucky there might be 1 or 2 people, which are enough to ruin your session...

    Spawner
    Always assign someone to be the spawner. If you're whole squad dies in a locked Conquest match you can't spawn any more and the match will be over. (The other team needs to capture all flags in that case). In Gold Rush this means that your squad has to spawn at the base again and make it to the boost spot all over again.

    Less then 8 people boosting:
    If you have less than 8 people in your session then you can't lock down Conquest. The randoms will simple be assigned to your squad and spawn in. But if you are the only ones playing then this isn't a real issue. As soon as 1 random joins the match, have everyone except for the 1 person going for his/her award quit out. The match

    will not continue with only 2 people so changes are high that the random will leave after a couple of minutes. Then have everyone search for the match again to continue. If searching doesn't wok the joining session in progress can be used. No need to worry about squads in this situation. You can also try Gold Rush. Most awards can be gotten just with 1 or 2 friends. All you need is some good teamwork.

    8 people boosting:
    With 8 people you have 2 full squads. If you can lock down a Conquest map then you are free to do most of the awards. However even though no random can spawn in, that doesn't mean they're not in the game. For most vehicle awards you'll have to capture a flag for the vehicles to spawn, at which point the randoms can spawn too. If there are no randoms you can try to capture one flag and neutralize it as soon as you see someone connecting to the match. (It takes at least 20 seconds for new players to spawn, while neutralizing only takes about 5). Just make sure you have someone keeping an eye out for anyone connecting and be ready to neutralize.

    If you can't lock down a Conquest match you'll have to work in a regular match. Most people prefer Gold Rush, because the other players will mostly be focused on the objective. Conquest is much more open and any anti-booster will easily find you. If in Gold Rush, wait until the first attacker base moves up. Usually this is after the first 2 crates are destroyed, but some maps, like 'End of the Line', require the first 4 crates to be destroyed. Since waiting is boring, I suggest you have all defenders blow up the crates with C4. Once the Attackers base moves you will have a nice and quite spot near the first attackers base to boost. Downside is that the defenders will need to get there too. Luckily due to squad spawn everyone can get there quick once 1 defender has made it. But don't be too quick when spawning, if the base moves again, it will cancel your spawn and set the spawn location selection to the new base. Just keep trying to spawn on your squad and you'll be fine.

    12 people boosting:
    Omg, I so love this method. It can be very tricky so manage 12 people, but if you can, this will be the most productive method for the harder awards. With 12 it will be quite easy to force a new Conquest match and lock it down quickly. You'll need to set up 3 squads, resulting in 8 people on one team, and 4 on the other. This may seem unfair, but the big advantage is that every random will join the team which has only the 4, so the team with 8 can capture a flag and don't have to neutralize every time a random connects. You can have 3 randoms before worrying about neutralizing. Once a 4th random connects you do have to neutralize, because any other random connecting could be joining the team of 8, and spawn in if the flag is still captured.

    The biggest challenge with 12 people is communication. Xbox Live Party only allows 8 people, and ingame you can only talk to your squad mates. And boosting this game without good communication will simply result in a waste of time for everybody. You could have someone switch between 2 parties all the time, or do what I did: use 2 headsets and pass any info between both parties.

    More that 12 people boosting:
    I haven't been in a session with more that 12 people, but I guess that 16 people will be somewhat the same as 8, and 20 people the same as 12. If you can get 24 people together for this game, then you don't have to worry about randoms or squads, but communication and structure will be your enemy. If you can get 24 people together for this game, and have a productive session without chaos, then you deserve this achievement more then anyone else...




    Awards
    The awards are divided into 3 categories. Wildcards, Patches and Trophies. Difficulty also goes in that order. Aim for the wildcards first, then the patches and lastly the trophies. While going for the wildcards and patches you will get most of the trophies anyway.

    You can track which award you have in the multiplayer menu of the game, but not while in a match. You can however check your last 5 awards by pressing start -> my awards. In the past you could also check you progress on statsverse, but that site does not seem to work any more.

    The patches and some of the wildcards have a sub-requirement. You'll need to meet those sub-requirements first, because the 'in a round' requirement will not store. For example the wildcard 'Tank Buster': this requires destroying 5 tanks in a round AND 25 total tanks destroyed. If you destroy 5 tanks in a round, but haven't destroyed 25 tanks in total, the wildcard will not be awarded. If you get the 25 in the same round however, it will be awarded. But if the round ends before that, you'll have to get 5 in a round again.

    You don't have to boost all the awards. Some of them are quite easy to get in regular games. And in case you didn't know, there's also an achievement for getting 10002 kills. On your road to that one you'll get plenty of awards. Since this is a boosting guide, the notes with most awards are purely on how to get them while boosting.


    Wildcards:

    Headshots
    In a Round: 20 Kills from Headshots.

    Simply 20 headshots. I recommend using a sniper because you're gonna need 100 of those.

    Gunslinger
    Global: 80 Kills with Handgun.

    Only sniper class has a handgun. Use LB to equip. It's actually a very good gun, so getting kills in regular matches shouldn't be that hard

    Fly-by
    In a Round: 4 Roadkills with any air vehicle.

    Easiest is to park a vehicle next to the chopper and have 4 people jump in the rotors. You do not have to fly the chopper, just sitting in the pilot seat is enough. It doesn't always kill immediately, but just keep jumping and it will work. The description however is a bit misleading, since the Russian Havoc doesn't count. (Thanks to THA BEAST 721 for testing and confirming)

    Dead Eye
    Global: Get 100 Headshots with any sniper rifle.

    No need to boost this one. Just use the sniper you're most comfortable with and only focus on getting headshots. You can also get the headshots while doing Avengers.

    Snake Eyes
    In a Round: Get 11 Kills as 2 different classes.

    This one requires you to get at least 22 kills in a round. You can switch class by picking up a bag or spawning as a different class. On a 15 kill round rotation you can easily finish your turn with one class, and then just pick a different class for your next turn.

    Deuces Are Wild
    In a Round: Kill two enemies of each kit.

    Changes are this one will pop before you know it. If you won't want to take the risk, simply tell your boosting-mates to use different classes.

    Beat The House
    In a Round: 15 Grenade Kills.

    Have the other team huddle up and throw a grenade between them. You can refill your grenades at a ammo box, or simply run over the dropped bags. Getting this one will also get you the 'Explosive Efficiency' trophy.

    Armor Buster
    In a Round: Kill 5 Armored Vehicles
    25 Total Armored Vehicle Kills.


    A vehicle kill is destroying a vehicle with an enemy in it (or had an enemy in it less than 3 seconds ago). Only the light tank and heavy tank count as armored vehicles. Humvee does not count. You can combine this one with Mine kill trophy, Rocket launcher trophy, Laser Designating trophy and Emplacement trophy.

    Tank Buster
    In a Round: Kill 5 Tanks
    25 Total Tank Kills.


    Same as Armor Buster, but only the heavy tank counts.

    Chopper Chopper
    In a Round: Kill 5 Air Vehicles
    25 Total Helicopter Kills.


    Same as Armor Buster. However the choppers are a glitches. For destroying the 25, all 3 types of choppers count, but for the '5 in a round' the Russian Havoc doesn't count.

    1 On 1 Land
    In a Round: Destroy a Tank of the same kind without using any assistance.

    Destroy a heavy tank with an enemy in it with a heavy tank. Destroying a light tank doesn't count. If the other tank has 99% health or less, have someone repair it otherwise it won't count. Best to combine with 'Gold Tank Warfare Patch'

    1 On 1 Sea
    In a Round: Destroy a Sea Vehicle of the same kind without any assistance.

    In Conquest, only the maps 'End of the line' and 'Par for the Course' have boats. The boats do spawn even if the flags are neutral. Simply destroy a boat with an enemy in it with the turret of another boat. Best to combine with 'Gold Naval Surface Warfare Patch'

    1 On 1 Air
    In a Round: Destroy an Air Vehicle of the same kind without any assistance.

    Again, destroying the Russian Havoc doesn't work. Destroying an Apache with the Havoc doesn't work either. Best map would be 'Crossing over', since you can have 2 apaches. Have everyone meet up at the US base. One of each team go to Blueberry Hill and have the US capture the flag. Once the apache spawns, neutralize the flag and fly the apache to the US base. Land it on the road near the base, facing the flag. Now have the US capture the US base flag so the other apache spawns. Get in the gunner seat of the 1st apache and have someone from the enemy team take place in the other apache and destroy it. You can also do this on 'End of the Line'. A second Apache will spawn on the Russian base if the US captures the flag. Best to combine with 'Gold Combat Aviator Patch'

    Straight Flush
    In a Round: Destroy 1 Vehicle of each kind.

    There are 3 kinds: land, air and water. Not sure if destroying the golf cards works. But Humvee, boat and Apache work perfectly. The Havoc DOES NOT count. (Thanks to Acepurvis). You can use whatever means to destroy them.

    Three Of A Kind
    In a Round: Destroy 3 Vehicles of the same kind.

    You'll get this while going for the 'Five Of A Kind' wildcard.

    Five Of A Kind
    In a Round: Destroy 5 Vehicles of the same kind.

    You'll get this together with the 'Tank Buster' or the 'Chopper Chopper' wildcard.

    Full House
    In a Round: Destroy 3 vehicles of same the kind and two of another.

    Any combination works. Although not sure about the Havoc. Best to do 3 boats and 2 humvees. (they spawn the fastest)

    Cab Driver
    In a Round: 5 minutes as the Driver in a vehicle with passengers.

    You don't have to drive. Standing still also works, as long as you move once in a while otherwise you'll get kicked for inactivity. Best to do this if you're in a 8 player locked Conquest match, almost out of tickets and are waiting for any randoms to leave. Or on Gold Rush while on attackers side. Once the base moves, just hang back and wait.

    Airtime
    In a Round: 2 seconds Airtime in a Land Vehicle.

    Best in a humvee or buggy. No need to boost.

    Staying Dry
    50 kills with naval vehicles.

    This one is a bit confusing. The description in the game says 50 road kills with a boat, so that how I got it. Have the other team jump in the water and drive over them. Works best with some speed and hitting them from behind.

    Two Pair
    In a Round: Get 2 of any 2 Trophies.

    You'll get this sooner than later.

    Santa's Little Helper
    In a Round: 10 Kill Assist Points.

    Health has to be below 50% for it to count. And it's 10 kill assists, not 10 points. You could get this if someone is going for Emplacements or transport vehicle kills. Simply injure someone and let your team mate get the kill.

    Full Deck
    In a Round: 52 Total Kills.

    In Conquest each team only has 100 tickets. So only 2 people can get this per round. In my boosting session I ask people who want this to skip 2 turns (15 kills) and have them start in a new round. There are too many awards that can be combines with this one... But to keep the paste going I always recommend Emplacement or some other fast kills.

    Saviour
    Global: x50 Saviour Trophies.

    See 'Saviour Trophy'.

    Avenger
    Global: x50 Avenger Trophies.

    Either the description is wrong, or mine was glitched. I got this one even though I only had 2 Avenger trophies. Seems to be 50 Avenger kills in stead of trophies.

    Destruction Site
    In a Round: Destroy 1000 objects.

    Objects are everything except for walls and trees. I got this spamming the Artillery gun, but any form of explosion will help you get multiple objects. Does not need to be done in a single round (despite what the description says). The in-game menu will show it's accumulative. Thanks to AwakeDeadeye, LuckyConquerer2 and o DEEVIUS o for confirming.

    Strike
    In a Round: Kill 5 enemies within 2 seconds.

    This one is a bit tricky. Usually boosting session consist of 8, so you only have 4 enemies. You can have someone from you team quit out and try to get on the other team, meet up and use C4 to get 5 in one go. But most fun is to rig a jeep with C4, have the other squad in it and have them park it near a random team mate. (Snipers are easiest since they sit still most of the time). Then simply detonate the C4. This however requires you to be in a regular match.

    Squad Wild Card
    In a Round: 1 Squad Member Trophy + 10 kills per squad member.

    Have everyone in the squad get a Squad Member Trophy by getting 5 Saviour kills. (6 will give you 2 Saviour trophies). And if the session is organized, everyone should have at least 10 kills.

    Top Squad Wild Card
    In a Round: get 20 Squad Bonus points
    Become the best squad on each map.


    You have to be best squad in Gold Rush on each of the original maps:
    - Harvest Day
    - Over and Out
    - End of the Line
    - Ascension
    - Valley Run
    - Deconstruction
    - Oasis
    - Final Ignition

    The Squad Bonus Points are a bit confusing. No one seems to know exactly how to get them. I got it while boosting kills (back2back knifing). If you know, please let me know.

    This award seems to be a little glitched though.The bar for the maps will also fill if you are the best squad in Conquest. As with most of these list, it's best to write down all the maps that you've been Top Squad on since there's no other way of knowing which maps you still need. (Thanks to Juicyjams for confirming)

    Squad Avenger Card
    Global: Get 100 Avenger kills avenging squad members.

    Same as Avenger wildcard, but now avenging squad members. (Which you do when boosting).



    Patches:
    The Patches require multiple trophies, so some will take a little more time. But the good thing is they stack. For example if you have 7 Naval Warfare Trophies, destroying 2 boats with a boat (in a round) will unlock bronze, silver and gold.

    Destroying a vehicle with an enemy in it counts for both. So you only need to destroy 3 vehicles with an enemy in it. Also, for some weird reason, destroying a stationary gun counts as a vehicle kill. Useful if you're on a map and don't have vehicles (or can't spawn them), but have access to a rocket emplacement with which you can hit any other stationary gun. And the stationary gun respawns rather quick.

    You'll need to unlock the M16A2 first before you can get this one.

    Marksman
    5 Kills with Sniper Rifle.

    Firearm Efficiency
    3 Kills with Handgun.

    You'll get this one together with 'Squad Medication' Trophy.

    Combat Engineer
    30 Vehicle Repair Points.

    Have a teammate sit in a tank and 2nd person damaging it, then simply use the repair tool to fix it again.

    Compact Assault Rifle Efficiency
    6 Kills with Compact Assault Rifle.

    6 kills with the main weapon from specialist class.

    Target Tagging Efficiency

    Easiest is tagging a vehicle that someone is going to destroy for his/her award. You'll need to tag the vehicle after someone has entered it. Some say it only counts if the vehicle is destroyed by a rocket launcher, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.

    Demo Pack Efficiency
    3 Kills with C4.

    Can be combined when destroying vehicles for wildcards.

    UMP
    6 Kills with UMP.

    Unlockable weapon.

    Explosive Efficiency
    10 Kills with Explosives.

    You'll get this while going for the 'Beat The House' wildcard

    Melee Combat (Dogtag)
    5 Melee Kills.

    You'll get plenty when doing Saviours or Avengers

    Combat Efficiency
    6 Kill Streak.

    You'll get plenty when doing Saviours or Avengers

    Kill Assist
    5 Kill Assists.

    Sit in the vehicle during someone else's turn who's going for kills with that vehicle.

    Saviour
    15 Saviour Points.

    You're going to need 50 of those, so knowing how this works will save everyone a lot of time. You get 5 points for saving a squad mate from being killed by killing the person who has done damage to your squad mate, so that's a least 150 kills.

    This is for 2 people doing Saviours at the same time: Green is one team, grey the other. Each team must have a 'sponge'. This should be an Assault class with the 2nd live syringe (unlocked) and will restore his health after each kill. The helper is someone from the other team shooting the sponge. Best to select Recon and fire 2 shots with the pistol in the leg (you can just shoot from the hip, aiming down sight sometimes will trigger the auto aim and turn you around). The Person going for the Saviour stands behind the helper and knifes him quickly after the 1st or 2nd shot. The helper must take care not to kill the sponge. Watch the sponges health before shooting. You can actually have 2 helpers since both the sponge as the person going for the Saviours can be spawner.

    (I had an awesome MS paint image explaining it better, but it got removed :-( I will try to upload it again)

    Avenger
    In a Round 30 Avenger Points.

    Simply form a line, alternating players from each team. nr2 will knife nr1, nr3 will knife nr2 and so on. The last person (nr8) will not get a kill. This is because otherwise you kill the other teams spawner. Then the last person will start the new line (see red nr2). Have everyone in the same order. Now nr1 will knife nr8, nr2 will knife nr1 and so on again. The reason for this order is because the 1st, 2nd and last one will not get an avenger kill, but with the rotation everyone will get it. It also makes it less confusing on who is going where. Simply pick a place, and after each kill round move one spot back.

    (I had an awesome MS paint image explaining it better, but it got removed :-( I will try to upload it again)

    High Card
    Get the best IAR score.

    You'll get this one while boosting 'Full Deck', but changes are you'll get it way earlier.

    Wheels Of Hazard
    2 Road Kills.

    Transport Vehicle
    5 Kills with Transport Vehicle.

    Simply use the gunner seat.

    Tank Warfare
    5 Kills with Tanks.

    Both main gun and turret count. Turret is faster for boosting.

    Naval Surface Warfare
    5 Kills with a Sea Vehicle.

    Road kills also count. And you'll need 50 boat road kills for the 'Staying Dry' wildcard.

    Combat Aviator
    5 kills with an Air Vehicle.

    You don't have to fly the chopper, kills as gunner also counts. Simply park the chopper in a nice spot and have the other team stand in front of it. Just have a little room between them otherwise you'll damage the chopper. Road kills don't count.

    Clear Skies
    5 kills with Air Defence.

    You don't have to destroy choppers for this one, you can kill people on the ground too.

    Emplacement
    5 Kills with a Stationary Weapon.

    Winning Team
    Winning the Round.

    Big Guns
    5 Kills with Artillery.

    Objective Destroyer
    Destroy 3 Objectives.

    This one can be very hard to boost. The objectives are the crates in Gold Rush. Every base has 2, and when those are destroyed the base will move up. If you have one or more friends on the defending team, then with some teamwork you might be able to boost this. You don't have to arm the crate, you can also destroy it with rockets and C4. Depending on how good the other players are, you could have the defending people damage the crates, and then finish it with some C4.

    Objective Attack
    Destroy the last Objective.

    Same as 'Object Destroyer', but only the last objective counts. Some maps have more crates than others, so you kinda have to know the map to know whether it's the last base or not. Go to the crate which is further away, damage it a bit, plant some C4 on it and wait until the other crate is destroyed. Then finish it.

    Objective Defender
    In a Round 18 Defend Bonus Points.

    You get Defend Bonus Points if you kill an enemy close to an objective. This can be a flag or a gold crate. No need to boost, you'll get plenty of those.

    Squad Member
    Assist or Save 5 Squad Members.

    You'll get this while doing Saviours.

    Squad Medication
    80 Squad member heal points.

    You can do this with just 2 people. Have the other launch a grenade at his feet and then give him a med pack. Works best if the other person moves a little further after each shot. It will stop giving you points after a few times, but it will start giving you points after some time again.

    Best Squad
    Best squad of the round.





    General tips
    - Make a list of the awards you really want to get. This will speed up the session.
    - plan you awards smart. You can work on multiple awards at the same time, and try to go for the awards you think are the hardest to get first. (For most that will be chopper and boat awards).
    - Rubberband your controller if you need to go afk, otherwise you'll be kicked out of the game for inactivity. Also check if your character doesn't move along the whole map and accidentely captures a flag when rubberbanding.
    - Be prepared to go over session time. It's kinda hard to exactly plan how long each turn is going to take, so at least stay until everyone has an equal amount of turns. Also if the session is going well a lot of people want to stay longer just to get more done.
    - There is no blue or red team. Your team is always blue, enemy is always red. Better use USA, Russian, MEC, Attacker or Defender. (Press start to see which team you're on)
    - Name your gamertag when someone asks if anyone needs anything. Saying 'I need it' doesn't really help since most can't distinguish voices.
    - Try to use your knife as much as possible. It's the quickest kill, and if you are in a regular match you won't show up on the minimap. Once you show up on the minimap, the other players will be searching for you.
    - Try not to team kill too much. After 5 or 6 teamkills you will be kicked from the match.

    RubberSoul1990Biggest issue was Top Squad Wildcard for me, I eventually got it by performing several of each squad assists: healing, kill assists, tank repairs, tank kills and assists in turret, got an avenger, was in a team of four. We won the game and my team had top points (I did not within the team).

    Good luck, its a tough one, just keep it at and try to communicate with a friend or two to work on it. They say it's hard to do at peak times but I got this on a Friday night (European time).

    Whats a ChundyYou can 100% do the top squad wildcard in Conquest during 10k kills sessions, minus the 4 Gold Rush ONLY maps. There is a lot of unnecessary misinformation going around about this in sessions. I can confirm as I got them yesterday. You only need to be top squad for one of the rounds, not both. You can see if you got the top squad award by pressing RB before launching in to the next match.

    The tracker does not function whatsoever. It is not glitched, it just doesn't work and never has. You need to manually keep track. You do need to stay in the game from beginning of the round until the end. If you join halfway thru, I can confirm nothing will be glitched, but you may also not make any progress. I would mark these down differently on a spreadsheet in order to avoid future issues just in case.

    As of 12th October 2010, SuperNewby with cooperation with Elxx have done a massive manual fix for a large list(Thanks xDimm) of glitched gamers, and I believe are taking new requests still. If your name was on the list posted here: http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/18651163-post2441.html , log in to multiplayer to get your achievement.

    Good luck with unlocking this buggy achievement. We fought blood and bone over at the official forums to get this finally sorted.

    UPDATE: Elxx is still manually fixing it for new people. But this wont be forever. Go now and post your details here: http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-bad-company/8...

    UPDATE #2: This seems to have been universally fixed. Here is a quote from the forums about it:

    "Hi,

    The server will not start to autocorrect your stats until you actually have earned all 120 awards, so no need to worry if the counter is showing 116 when you actually have 117 awards. When all 120 awards have been unlocked, the server will check if the counter is 120. If not, it will add +1 to your counter for each full round you complete until you hit 120 and the final achievment/trophy is unlocked.

    blkalleykatYes LAFTA when I earned all 120 awards the website was still saying I was short 1 award. I played the next match until we the defenders won. I got the achievement at the screen with the blue banner on the bottom. This was back in April 2011 so the fix is in place.

    This game is now Backward Compatible on the XBox One Console.

    Please Click On This Spoiler To See Who I Am Giving Credit To In Respect Of All Their Help Throughout The Time I've Done This Game...

    *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***


    Firstly I would like to give credit to everyone who has posted solutions for this achievement. Without them, I wouldn’t have been able to create this solution to help everyone else, since I have suffered so much with this achievement.

    By popular demand by friends, I have been recommended to post a solution for this achievement in this game. This is the hardest online achievement to get in Battlefield: Bad Company. There are 120 Awards in the game, and you need to get "ALL" of them in order to get this achievement.

    The link below takes you to a decent website called Statsverse. It is a site designed to keep track of what you have achieved on a handful of Battlefield games. Battlefield: Bad Company is one of them and by typing in your Gamer-Tag, it will present to you a list of your Kills, Deaths, Awards, Time Played and much more. Sadly as of October 2017 the site is broken, because if you currently type in your name at any point and then click the Update button once it’s loaded, you get an endless loading screen that does not change your status on your page. This makes the tracking more difficult as you will likely have to communicate with people to find out what Awards they are missing or already got. Feel free to check out the website if you want to test it…

    http://bfbc.statsverse.com/stats/360

    Prepare for a long read. I suggest you grab a cup of coffee if you wish to read and sink all of this in your head. You would really wish a YouTube video with a list of all the Awards and a guide is available… but currently there isn’t.

    What Are Awards?

    The Awards in this game are placed into 3 different categories. Wildcards, Patches and Trophies. To get any of them, you will need to complete a specific requirement in the game and then they will be unlocked. This includes getting a certain amount of kills with a weapon, a vehicle, a squad etc. Performing various moves with a vehicle such as air time, or sitting in the vehicle for duration. And there are some, which require you to play certain game modes and maps to unlock them easily.
    Some Awards require you to complete a full match in order for them to unlock. Others will unlock for you straight away. Once an Award has been unlocked, it is saved into the game and you will keep the Award forever! You do not have to leave the match you are currently playing to claim the Award. There is however a possibility you could lose progress towards the Award if the game crashes or gets a fault, but this is very rare to encounter.

    Trophies: All of the trophies in this game require you to achieve the requirement “In A Round” (the game will shorten this as IAR, and a round is a full game of either Attacking or Defending (or being on a team from a certain country). You cannot get a trophy in this game by using 2 different rounds, it’s got to be done in a round your playing. You can unlock an unlimited amount of the same trophy as possible, but you only need 1 Trophy of whatever your going for to count towards the achievement. At times you’ll need multiple of the same trophies in order for you to get certain Patches & Wildcards.

    Patches: Most of the Patches in this game require you to get a certain amount of the same trophies, before they can be unlocked. Another method it may ask you to do is get 1 of a certain type of trophy before the Patch could be unlocked. Most of the Patches in this game will come naturally, should you go for some Trophies & Wildcards, but there will be a few in which will not be easy to do, and may require you to perform other strategies to get them.

    Wildcards: Wildcards in this game combine a bit of both Trophies & Patches methods. Some Wildcards can be unlocked instantly, whilst others will take some time to unlock. In some cases your better off going for 1 type of Wildcard and 1 type of Patch at the same time, so that you can unlock them faster.

    OK… So what should I go for when doing these Awards?

    I recommend you focus on the Wildcards and the Trophies first, then save the Patches until last. The reason is because as I’ve described about the Patches, if you focus on Wildcards and Trophies, you may unlock some Patches at the same time.

    What’s the best method for getting Awards?

    Some of the Awards can be unlocked naturally, and you may also get them unexpectedly. But for a great deal of them, the only way in which you’ll be able to get the Awards is to do some boosting. Boosting Awards on this game can be extremely stressful for multiple reasons, which will be explained below.

    Boosting Method

    If your planning on boosting the Awards, then you’ll need to get some players which will be willing to help you (and themselves as well). A minimum of 4 people/accounts is required in order to participate in Conquest Matches, without putting yourself in squads. But the best number of players to have for Award Sessions is 8. If you have less than 8, it can difficult to boost since randoms can join in your games and if you have more than 8, then it’ll take longer to boost since everyone will want a turn, and the energy at the top of the screen will drain faster.

    Planning Ahead

    Before you even decide to boost for Awards, you’ll need to download some extra DLC. First you’ll need to download the Community Map Pack, which gives you access to the extra maps that are in the game, and secondly you’ll need to download the Conquest Game Mode, since you’ll be doing a lot of Conquest Matches to get your chosen Awards.

    Both these map packs alone will set you back around 300MB, which isn’t much

    Organising A Boosting Session

    First you’ll need to get 8 players, so I suggest you create a gaming session or search for one on the site. Once you have done that, then whoever is the host needs to decide which two players will form the squads. Once decided the two people need to go into Multiplayer, then Custom Match and then press cn_X for Squad Invite.

    Originally you would only be able to invite friends into the squad, however there is a trick you can do in which you can invite anyone. Simply choose anyone on your friend list and give them an invite, you may need to inform them what you are doing. Once that is done open your XBox Live Party or cn_guide and then click and invite the players which are going to be in your squad.

    Once both players have their 2 squads with 4 players each, get one of you to search on the chosen map you wish to use for boosting. Ensure before they search that they select the Conquest Game Mode. Once one team is searching for a map, get the other team to follow and let them search as well. Chances are you will both be searching for the same map.

    If you get the chosen map you are searching for, then there is a high chance that no one is playing Conquest, which means you have some time to neutralize the flags before randoms join. If you don’t get the chosen map, then there are either randoms already playing the game, a clan is trying to prevent you from boosting, or there are already some boosters boosting on this game.

    Squad Issues

    As of October 2017 one of the main issues that has happened recently with the game is the difficulty of getting a group of 3 or 4 people into a Squad. The downside with the Squad with this game is unless you have a successful group of 4 people loaded into the match without anyone getting disconnected, should a random or another person join the team, they will split the squads up and can easily spawn into the match with everyone else. As you can imagine, this will give out some difficulty because if a random gets into the match with yourselves, they can easily destroy your organisation and your work.

    If you wanted to restart the Squads and try and get 4 people into the groups, the best method would be to return to the main menu of the game and retry the process. If that doesn’t work you can always try and invite another person within the group and see if they can get in as a group of 4 together. If that also doesn’t work, then the other methods would be to restart the game, the console or the Internet Router.

    What Do I Do If I Get In A Game On My Own With My Boosting Group?

    If you have the game to yourselves and everyone is on the correct team (4 vs 4), then you’ll need to act fast and neutralize the enemy flags.

    What is Neutralizing?

    Neutralizing is when your team captures the opponent’s flag, and makes the flag turn white. Once the flag is white, you then step away from the flag and prevent yourself or your squad capturing the flag with the team you’re based in. By neutralizing the flags you will prevent randoms from joining in your matches. The only time randoms can join in the match is if someone in your squad loses XBox Live connection or quits, a brand new game loads up, the squads we’re not formed up properly or if you fail to neutralize all of the coloured flags in time.

    Why do we need to be in a squad?

    The maximum amount of players that can be in the squad on this game is 4. You cannot have anymore but you can have less. The reason why you form up a squad is because when you neutralize the flags, originally no one would be able to respawn. However you can because if one of you in your squad was to die, then you can simply respawn behind one of your squad members (which will be one of your boosting partners). Whilst this all sounds useful, you must keep in mind that if all 4 players in a squad get killed at once, no one on that squad can respawn so it means the game would have to end.

    In addition to this matter if one of you loses connection and gets kicked from the game, it means your squad will have an empty slot, which brings the risk of randoms. If you don’t have a full squad of 4 players, a random can join the game under the Squad Selection, which could destroy your game.

    There is however a method which can be used should one of you get kicked from the game, which is to get one member of the squad which is still in the game to go and capture 1 flag. The leader of that squad needs to leave and re-invite everyone to a created squad. Once everyone has re-joined then the leader needs to research the map that everyone is boosting on. Once returned simply neutralize the flag you have spawned on and then kill the randoms that are infiltrating the server, should you have any.

    We have the game now to ourselves, how do we boost Awards?

    Assuming you have a group of people. Decide between all of you who’s going for Awards first, and allow one member on each team to do Awards to speed up the process. Once decided get the chosen players to take the 3 opponents left idle and acquire the Awards they want to go for. Don’t be too greedy and choose multiple Awards which are going to take forever, because all 8 of you will be under pressure and you can easily cause arguments and stress in Award sessions.

    How many Awards can I go for, and how long do I have?

    It depends how long you want to boost for, and how popular the game is with randoms. If there are 8 of you in a session, and it’s set for 3 hours, I recommend everyone gets 25 Minutes each to do the Awards they want to do. For the amount of Awards they can go for I recommend players choose 1 Award as a priority, and then place in 2 more Awards as their 2nd priorities, then choose another 2 Awards should they complete their 3 chosen Awards. There are some Awards, which will take awhile to complete and some that will be unlocked instantly. If you work out the Awards logically you can get a handful easily since some of them will involve Bronze, Silver & Gold Patches, which equal 3 Awards.

    What do I need to watch out for?

    Randoms: Even though you have neutralized the flags and the game is yours, randoms can still join your game and sit for a duration until the game ends, or if someone gets kicked. Also a handful of Awards may require a captured flag, so if this happens, you’ve got to either neutralize the flag or kill the random as quickly as possible.

    Players Getting Kicked: A player in the game can get kicked un-expectedly due to connection, staying idle for more than 5 minutes or team killing, so make sure everyone is kept under control because Award sessions can be messy.

    Clans: There are a handful of Clans, which play this game as well and most of them hate boosters. Sometimes they’ll leave if you’ve got control of the server, but if you are close to finishing a game, they may wait until a new game starts and then screw you over. Clans will cheat in ways to prevent you from boosting such as Quick-Scoping with a rifle (jumping and shooting, known as Two-Piecing), team killing and even crashing the server (which anyone can do on this game).

    Other Boosting Groups: You won’t be alone when you boost this game. There are other boosters that will want a server as well as yourself. The problem with this game is that unless 24 players are in a server, everyone will join on the same one. Some other boosting groups will get angry if they notice you are boosting and may attempt to destroy you when the game is available for them to join. Others may be generous and leave you boost, however if this happens you may get a message and they may ask if they can have the server after your finished.

    So what can I do if another group of boosters are boosting the game?

    Firstly, don’t get involved in arguments and fight for the server. You cannot blame anyone except the game, since Conquest only has 1 server, unless 24 players fill it (a new one would be created). If you and your group end up joining a game in which another group of boosters is boosting, then just sit and wait what happens. The boosters may leave or even send you a message saying what their doing. And even if you do end up joining the game don’t get involved with them, they may end up allowing you to play the map and allow you and your team to do whatever you want in another corner.

    If you don’t have any luck and they continue boosting, then the best method is to negotiate with your teams and agree on overtime. In the meantime the teams can go and play another game, or you can always go and play some Gold Rush to get some Awards their. It is wise as well that someone regularly checks the Conquest server just in case the boosters leave and you can have the game for yourself. You may even have to cancel a session if things don’t go as planned.

    When I boosted the game, there were another group of boosters as well, but they were generous and asked us if they can have like 15 – 30 minutes to finish. We mostly said yes and then they when their time was finished, they actually kept the server for us to arrive to prevent randoms. Believe me… in this game, respect and kindness goes a long way.

    List Of Awards

    OK… so here is the main part you want to know about this guide. I have provided a list of all the Awards in the game, a rating between 1 – 10 of how difficult they are, a small guide on how to get them, and my personal tips and suggestions as well…

    Additional Tips

    If I’m hosting these Award sessions, how should I plan these out?

    First, try and get a group of people that are willing to help you boost the Awards. If you get too many people who want to boost Awards with you, people are going to use you to their advantage… take whatever they can, and as soon as they’re done… they’ll leave. It’s an idea to get a respectful group of 8 players or so, and work as a team to get everyone what they want.

    Secondly when you create sessions on Trueachievements, it’s important to plan ahead. Start off by mentioning in your session pages that you want to know what Awards everyone wants to go for, and limit the choices to at least 3 – 5… depending upon how long you want the session to go on for. If you don’t say this, then your responses will be “I want all of them!” “I want this, this, this, this… and this.” Or worst-case scenario is that they will be “lazy” and won’t bother sending anything to you.
    If they don’t send their choices of Awards, consider them a waste of time and remove them from the session before it actually starts.

    Thirdly, once you have made your decisions for which players are doing the Awards with you, grab a paper and pen and write down the players name and their choices of Awards. You’ll need a lot of paper, so I recommend using Scrap Paper if you’ve got any.
    By doing this, you can look at what you’ve written down and figure out the best method in getting the boosting session done smoothly.

    Fourthly, when the session is about to start, it is an idea to plan the teams out accordingly. An example would be say if 2 people want to do a lengthy Award in the session (such as boat kills, tank kills etc), there’s no point in putting both of them on the same team. It’s an idea to put them on the opposite sides of each other, so when it’s their turn, they can work on the same Award at the same time, and ease the congestion. At times though, this may not work due to the squad issue that’s in place in the lobby menus in the game as said above in the solution.

    Of-course with all of this taking place, you must remember that Award Boosting is on a time limit, and you must ensure that everyone has a turn in the session, before worst happens, such as randoms or clans joining, or disagreements and fallouts with boosting members.

    How long should I let everyone get his or her Awards for?

    Traditionally I did 3 hour Award sessions… and for that I allowed 2 people, 1 on each team to have a total of 25 minutes to get whatever Awards they wanted. I paused the timer if randoms joined the match, or if a new game begins, because it was unfair if the clock was still ticking on a loading screen.

    Despite that if you do the calculations that you would have 1 hour 20 minutes spare, it turns out that you would be lucky if you have any spare time left in the session, since you would have loading screens, neutralizing flags, and placing the teams in position ready for Award boosting. Organisation can take awhile… possibly 5 – 10 minutes or even longer.

    Benefits & Drawbacks of Award Boosting

    Drawbacks: If your hosting Award sessions, you are going to find them very stressful. Everyone will be placed under pressure, so you’ve got to maintain everyone and keep them calm at all times. It will only take one person to flip, and your session is ruined.

    You will have fellow boosters, which may not respond with their choices instantly. In this case, you’ll either have to remove them if they don’t get along with you, or ask them what Awards they need to work on, and hopefully you can figure out something with them in the session.

    Boosters will talk over you and you may have a hard time talking to each other as a group. But if you’re the host, you have the responsibility to control everyone so stand up to yourself and say, “I’m the one in charge, and this is the way it goes.” Or even just say, “Talk one at a time please.” Etc.

    You will have to wake yourself up early for some of these sessions. The best time to boost is early morning, since most of the pesky randoms will be asleep or during the weekdays in which the servers will be less popular. Don’t be at all surprised though if you get a handful that do appear, since some clan members and randoms will chase your boosting team down, and may not leave you alone. An idea to prevent this from happening is if you set your online preferences to offline whilst you play.

    If you have a girlfriend/boyfriend, married, family or other relatives. Going for this achievement may destroy real life relationships. I’m not bull-dusting as I had 2 people in my sessions in which their real life girlfriends left them because they were boosting this game. And I know someone who actually had to sign the divorce papers, because they were boosting this game.

    Benefits: If you host an Award session, and you manage to avoid all of what’s said in the disadvantages, you will be treated by your fellow boosters with “big respect”.
    If you have a group of boosters, which get along with you, and you help them in some areas, they “will” help you, since you would become a trustworthy person.

    Not many people on Trueachievements like to host Award sessions because of the reasons above, but if you do… you will show that you’ve got guts to do something that not many people want to do. Consider yourself as an Alpha Lion.

    Also if you get along with the boosters, and some unlock the achievement before you, then they may stay put and help you finish off your Awards as well, since they would like you to get the achievement as well as themselves.

    Overall, it’s teamwork doing these Award sessions. The motto is “You help others… they help you!”

    End

    I wish you all the very best of luck if you decide to go for this achievement. Never give up on it because it can be done, just some time and patience will do the trick. If you find any information in this solution, which needs changing or updating, please let me know. This was a 41 Page Document after all, with my own words! If you do get this achievement, give yourself a pat on the back or go and celebrate with style, because this achievement is the hardest one to get in the entire game… even Beans, Bullets & Badges is easier to unlock than this one.

    GO FORTH ON THE BATTLEFIELD SOLDIERS!!!

    This isn't so much a solution as it is tips for when boosting. These are things I've noticed people doing (I'm guilty as well) that cause a session to not go as smoothly as it could. You don't have to follow these, but I feel they would cut down on frustration levels.

    1. Don't use colors in reference to teams. You are always the blue team, so "Blue team goes first." is confusing. Try to use US/RU/Attacking/Defending/etc.

    2. Use Cardinal Directions. Saying "The house on the bottom." isn't specific enough. Try "The southern house on the east side of the road." Otherwise you have to hope you end up in the same area and there isn't a random in the house right next to it. And since you have N on your mini map it's a lot easy to know if you're going the right direction.

    3. "Shoot me! Shoot me!" doesn't work unless the person happens to be looking at you and interprets your wiggling around properly. Try class and position, and team if time permits. Such as "Shoot the medic crouching on the US team." For situations with multiples of the same class try doing something attention getting, like shooting straight up.

    4. Decide the order before the match if possible. Not doing this wastes precious seconds in the match, and we've all been in that situation where you only needed one more kill.

    5. Stick to the plan. If you're going for Saviors, go for Saviors. Going for boat kills, stay in the boats. If you get a map you can't do the goal on, I find it better to rush though it as fast as possible instead of trying for different awards. Trying for different things leads to the original logistic problems of who's going first, where to meet, how to do it, etc. The time you spend coordinating this one map could be used to get at least halfway through it.

    6. Don't be afraid to suicide. If you find yourself on the wrong side of the map, suicide and spawn on squad. 9 times out of 10 it's a lot quicker and you don't have to deal with the randoms to get there.

    7. This kind of goes with 3. and 4. Refer to yourself in third person. In a party of eight, five "I still need that"'s doesn't help anybody. Give your tag. That way the host knows who needs it, and can form an order.

    That's all I got right now. I'll add more later if I think of anything.

    THIS IS FOR CHOPPER CHOPPER ONLY!

    Ive recently been helping people get this award its very simple yet many people seem not to be able to acquire it there are 2 methods outlined there is a squad method and a single player. This is not boosting it is legit so a certain skill is required.

    SQUAD METHOD- 4 player squad should consist of 1 assault 2 demolition and a recon. Now load up end of the line on gold rush this is the easy level to get it.
    Now what you need to do now is the hardest part, be stealthy, you go down to the docks when on defense and run right along the coastline do not kill anyone if possible. You kill someone they may come for you. Eventually you will get to the enemy dock now swim to the little island, be very careful. Now everyone should be behind the base. Only the one demolition will get this patch, the recon will stay near the little house on the other side of the island, to make sure motion sensors tell the others if anyone is coming. The other demolition is there to kill himself to give the first ammo and the assault is the body guard.
    Now all you have to do is aim at the enemy helicopter (WAIT FOR THE BLADES TO SPIN) launch a rocket and that's one down. Now duck do not do anything else don't be smart and shoot yes its an easy kill, but you will be spotted. The driver should not see where you are as it goes straight into cockpit view. Repeat this process you will be caught eventually you should easily have 5 since this first helicopter base lasts 4 crates.

    SOLO
    much harder by yourself you do not have the extra missles or body guards this may take multiple bases but the best bet is to follow the same tactic as with a squad. However you will be a lot more dangerous you have to squeeze out as many helicopter kills per base as possible as long as you get 3 from the first base you are fine.
    This is because once they take over the dock you have your chance to camp again this time go behind the new helicopter spawn on a mountain just aim at the helicopter and use the rocket launcher again this is by far the easiest method.

    WARNING this may get you abusive messages as you have to camp and generally be a nasty person but you will get your award at least

    This is a special note about the helicopter awards needed to get this achievement and the bugs effecting them. These are from my own personal observations.

    The Mi-28 Havoc (RU helicopter) appears to be buggy and does not count when destroyed for the '1on1 Air' or 'Chopper Chopper' wildcards. When you are trying to get these wildcards you need to destroy the AH-64 Apache or the KA-52 Alligator.

    This seems to have caused a common belief that for '1on1 Air' the helicopters must be of the same kind. I got it by destroying an Apache with an Apache but I was present when another person got the wildcard on Oasis (Gold Rush) by destroying an Apache with the Alligator. So the rumor that the wildcard can only be obtained by destroying a helicopter of the exact same type is false. It should also be possible to get it by destroying an Apache with a Havoc or an Alligator with an Apache. Alligators and Havocs are not both present on any map.

    To further prove that it is only the Havoc that is bugged, I was present when somebody destroyed 5 Havoc's on Crossing Over (Conquest) and did not get the IAR portion of 'Chopper Chopper'. That same person destroyed 5 Apaches in the very next round after the sides switched and got the wildcard.

    Additionally on Conquest mode I observed that on two of the three maps with helicopters, they will only spawn if a certain side controls the base. We could only get helicopters to spawn at the US and RU bases on Par for the Course and Crossing Over if the respective team controlled the base. The Blueberry Hill base on Crossing Over is not effected by this and will spawn a helicopter for whichever team controls it. The End of the Line (Conquest) map appears to be unaffected and I have confirmed seeing a Havoc spawn at the US base after the RU team took control of it.

    Please comment if you can add to or contradict any of these claims.

    I've noticed that nobody seems to have made a workable spreadsheet for this.. So I thought I would.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nbteNTph5mZgWtIEUwTb...

    To edit the spreadsheet on computer simply go to file and make a copy... On mobile you must first have the Google Sheets app.. Once opened hit the 3 dots button in the top right and then share.. You should have an option to make a copy.. You can now edit the document however you like.

    This should help you all keep track of what you've got done whilst in the matches.

    Good luck.

    this is solely for the TOP SQUAD WILDCARD

    to get this, you need to get the top squad medal at the end of the round (hit RB to look at awards gained and look for it there) on each of the 8 maps on GOLD RUSH, it doesn't work for conquest, so ignore that mode.

    the maps are
    - Harvest Day
    - Over and Out
    - End of the Line
    - Ascension
    - Valley Run
    - Deconstruction
    - Oasis
    - Final Ignition

    to say again, this needs to be done in GOLD RUSH!

    hope this helps atleast some people, i know this is almost entirely what was said by a previous solution, but we had a lot of trouble on this because we didn't know until recently that it's gold rush only.


    EDIT to include PrimeBigTime
    >Downloading the title update, weather it be because you haven't played in a while, or cleared your cache will reset the maps you've got top squad on, so please be aware if you do this mid attempt at getting the Top Squad Wildcard
    >PrimeBigTime said that his +10 squad points only counted while he was in the top squad of the current map, i personally can neither confirm nor disprove that, when i personally popped this one, i joined a random legit game, spawned on a squad mate in a tank and sat on the gunners seat getting kills, i have no idea if that squad was top or no, so if you're having trouble, consider this

    ALSO just want to add a footnote, to save anyone blindly panicking like i did when this happened to me, once you pop your last award, the achievement SHOULD pop just before or with it, in my case, it did not.

    Fortunatly, i went out, cleared the hard drive Caché, the played a game of Gold Rush, the achievement then did pop on the resutlts screen at the end of the round, so hopefully this little bit will stop people worring when they get their last one and nothing happens, just play some more legit and it should pop for you

    Okay I have gone through hell to get this achievement. I am making a guide for choppers to save you all the trouble of getting glitched out of getting a certain award.

    First, I will define the three types of choppers in the game because I will refer to them as these names in the guide.

    Apache - The greenish(?) helicopter. It spawns at a base controlled by the attackers in Gold Rush, as well as a flag controlled by the US team in Conquest.

    Havoc - The white and grey helicopter. It spawns at a base controlled by the defenders in Gold Rush (excluding Oasis), as well as a flag controlled by the RU team in Conquest.

    Russian Chopper - The helicopter that has two blades. It only spawns in the Plantation on Oasis in Gold Rush while the defenders control that particular spawn.

    Okay, so chopper awards are very glitchy. I have witnessed ways people can earn these awards, as well as ways people can not earn them based on which chopper they use. I am going to go through every award that uses a chopper and explain what will work to allow you to receive them.

    Combat Aviator Trophy (5 kills in a helicopter in a round): You need seven of these trophies before you can earn the gold helicopter patch. It can be earned in any of the three helicopters, and you can either be in the pilot seat or gunner seat when you obtain them. Getting five road kills will NOT give you a Combat Aviator.



    Gold Helicopter Patch (7 Combat Aviator Trophies as well as destroy two helicopters while in a helicopter): You need to destroy the two helicopters AFTER getting the seven trophies. It will not remember you did that if you do it before, and you will have to do it again. There must be someone in each helicopter, and it is unconfirmed as to whether both helicopters must actually be in the air. You can kill the choppers from either the pilot seat or the gunner seat. Destroying the two helicopters is glitched, so I will list the ones I know work (Russian Chopper vs Russian Chopper can't happen, as well as Russian vs Havoc and vice versa).

    Apache destroys Havoc: does NOT work
    Apache destroys Apache: works
    Havoc destroys Apache: works
    Havoc destroys Havoc (can only happen in Conquest): ?
    Apache destroys Russian Chopper: works
    Russian Chopper destroys Apache: works


    Fly By (4 road kills with a helicopter in a round): This one requires you to get four road kills with a helicopter in a single round. It doesn't have to all be from one chopper (ie you can get 2 from one chopper, then the other 2 from a different chopper). This one is glitched as well, so I will list the choppers that work.

    Apache: works
    Havoc: does NOT work
    Russian Chopper: ?



    1 on 1 Air (destroy a helicopter in a helicopter with no help): The mechanics for this one are pretty vague. Your best bet would be to make sure there is only one person in each helicopter because that is how I did it. The helicopter you destroy has to have 100 health. If it's any lower, it won't unlock. It won't unlock if it is at full health then you do 99 or less damage, you won't get it; you have to do all 100 damage in destroying the chopper yourself. As you can probably guess, this one is glitched too, so I'll list the choppers I know work.

    Apache destroys Havoc: does NOT work
    Apache destroys Apache: works
    Havoc destroys Apache: ?
    Havoc destroys Havoc (can only happen in Conquest): ?
    Apache destroys Russian Chopper: works (I've seen it work for two people, but I've also seen it not work for another person)
    Russian Chopper destroys Apache: works



    Straight Flush (destroy a vehicle of each type): You have to destroy a helicopter, boat, and land vehicle. I don't know if this one is glitched or not. I haven't seen this one boosted, so I will just assume it's glitched. The boat and land vehicle part of it shouldn't be glitched. The helicopter part may or may not be glitched though.

    Apache: works
    Havoc: ?
    Russian Chopper: ?



    Chopper Chopper (destroy 25 total helicopters as well as 5 helicopters in a single round): Okay, this is yet another glitched helicopter award. For the 25 total helicopter requirement, destroying any of the three helicopters will work. The glitch comes in with the five in a round. I am not sure if the five helicopters need to all be of the same type. My guess would be they do not, but do NOT include the Havoc as it won't work.

    Apache: works
    Havoc: does NOT work
    Russian Chopper: ? (it's much more feasible to go for the Apache anyway)

    Hopefully you find this helpful. If you want tips on how to earn each award, you can find another guide. This guide is just meant to help you avoid having an award not pop up due to EA's lazy coding even though you met the criteria for it. I will edit the question marks with info if someone can confirm whether they work or not in the comments.

    Just make a session for 8 people. Start up a conquest and do it around 23:00 central time zone which would be 11:00 pm. You want to do it late because the servers are empty. Just get in and neutralize the flags (which they turn white that's how you know there neutralized) so nobody else can join and then the games is yours. You can make a rotation for each person getting something. Good Luck

    P.S. watch out for Banjo Country he is a big anti booster

    This is a method for those individuals out there who are looking to get their achievement. This is for the "Savior" trophies, wildcards & patches.

    Now I know getting saviors is hard, however, the easiest way to get this method is to stand near a team-mate, who is in an area to which he is able to be shot. I.E - Near a window, high up where he can be seen clearly by snipers and machine-gunners.

    You will need to be a support gunner, if you do NOT have the M60 LMG you will need it, here is the code "try4andrunf0rcov3r" enter that on the INGAME code input NOT Xbox Live redeem.

    Once you have this, follow the steps listed below -

    1 - Have a friend join in your squad and set up a custom match, and search for either Ascension OR Oasis; preferable: Ascension, as it has close quarters, less snipers. Make sure Game Mode is Gold Rush.

    2 - You and your friend, will need to to go either one of the first houses, on Gold Rush at the first base (if already taken not a problem, select a spawn area together where enemies HAVE to pass through).

    3 - Have your friend draw attention to himself, either by firing a few rounds or throwing a few grenades. Keep him at full health by dropping a few med-kits around him.

    4 - When your friend see's an enemy nearby, or heading for your direction, let him get shot a few times; He will automatically heal, and whilst your friend moves out of the way of the fire, you will be able to come around the corner and finish off the guy doing the damage.

    5 - By this point you should have a trophy and you will be able to rinse and repeat this method until all available 50 Trophies have been recieved.

    Hope this helps, as this is the method I am currently using, I can also confirm that it is a proper working method. Thanks guys, hope you can find it more useful than I am currently. :D
