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. |

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 you last 5 awards by pressing start -> my awards. If you have access to a browser during the session, then you can use this site: http://bfbc.statsverse.com/stats/360
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 turrent 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 destory 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.
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.

Behold my awesome MS paint skills: (and does anyone know the bbcode to include images?]
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/861/battlefieldbadcompa...
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 site 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.
Avenger
In a Round 30 Avenger Points.
Again, behold my awesome MS paint skills:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/6/battlefieldbadcompany...
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.
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

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 futher 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 prepaired to go over session time. It's kinda hard to exactly plan how long each turn is going to take, so at least stay untill 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 distinguishe voices.
- Try to use your knive 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.

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.
/Daniel" |

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 be stealthy you go down to the docks when on defence and run right along the coastline do not kill anyone if possible. You kill somone 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 with 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 and thats one down. Now duck do not do anything else dont 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. |

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 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 |

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 |
