Zombies:
Kill the Pentagon thief before it can steal your load-out.
This is done on zombies map "Five," and it's easiest to do solo.
You can unlock the map "Five" two ways: Beat the Black Ops campaign, or break free from your shackles in the main menu (Rapidly mash RT and LT,) find the console that you used to play Zork on, and type in "3arc unlock". Do not include the quotation marks. Typing in "3arc unlock" does NOT disable achievements, so either way is perfectly fine.
You'll need a couple things for this achievement: Quick revive, one grenade and 4,500 points.
Start by buying a quick revive (You can get it from the machine in the hallway.) Now begin racking up 4,500 points. See below for some tips. When you have 4,500 points, leave one zombie alive in the current wave. You do this because you don't want to be bothered by another enemy wave while you're trying to get the Pentagon Thief.
Once you have your 4,500 points, grenade, quick revive and a single zombie alive, open either door in the starting area; they both lead to the same place. Clear the debris infront of the elevator and ride it down to level 2. Head down the stairs and clear the debris, then head left and clear the debris infront of the next elevator. Take the elevator down to level 3. Run straight ahead and take the first left, then first right. You'll see the power switch infront of you--flip it.
Now head back up to level 2. Stay in the elevator and kill the zombie(s) you left alive. If the Pentagon Thief is going to show up, at the start of the next round you'll hear sirens and a woman will announce that there's been a breach (Spooky!) As soon as you hear these sounds, immediately start cooking a grenade and kill yourself. The Pentagon Thief will teleport in from the teleporter thing in the middle of the room. Because of your quick revive, your pistols will act as handheld, rapid fire RPGs, thus making the Pentagon Thief extremely easy to take out.
If the PentaThief doesn't show up, I'd recommend restarting the level. It's generally easier and quicker to get back to this point than it is to fight whatever the next wave is (It was always wave 5 for me.)
Here are some tips for racking up the points:
- 1. For the first 2 levels or so, use the pistol + knife to kill zombies. Shoot a zombie three times or so with the pistol, then knife the zombie. You can do this through barriers, but the zombie will have to be trying to destroy the barrier in order for you to be able to hit him. You'll get 130 points for a knife kill, plus the 30 or 40 from the pistol shots.
- 2. Come level 3, you should be out of pistol ammo, or very close. Buy the M14 and aim for the zombies' heads. Each time you take off a zombie's head, you'll get 100 points. Some zombies will still be alive for a few seconds after their heads get knocked off, if you wanna score real big, knife them when they're in this state. 100 pts for a headshot, and 130 for a knife kill? Yes, please.
- 3. Bullets pierce through zombies. In later levels, things will be too frantic to carefully line up your shots, but in the early levels it can be a nice way to save some ammo. Additionally, you'll get the full amount of points for any extra zombies hit.
- 4. Avoid nukes unless you're about to die. They kill all the zombies, give you a pitiful amount of points and advance you to the next, more difficult level.
Shoot at or be shot by an ally with a Pack-a-Punch crossbow and kill six zombies with the explosion.
The Crossbow is a random weapon that can come out of the Mystery Box (Should've taken the boat!) You'll have to pay 950 points every time you want to use the Mystery Box. The Mystery Box can spawn in a few locations in each map. It's a large crate with two big, glowing question marks on it. Possible spawn locations are marked by a couple stacked boxed with a teddy bear (That's covered in blood) sitting on top.
Once you have the Crossbow, you'll have to take it to the Pack-A-Punch machine and upgrade it for 5,000 points. Here is how to get to the Pack-A-Punch machine in Kino Der Toten and "Five":
Kino Der Toten:
To get to the Pack-A-Punch machine, you'll need 4,250 pts.
Under the stairs and to the left, you'll find a door--open it. Head through and you'll find another door--open it. You'll now be in an alleyway. This is one possible place for the Mystery Box to spawn (Should've taken the boat!) Keep going and you'll come to a gate, open it and go up the stairs. This room is another possible spawn for the Mystery Box. Open up the door in here, head down the stairs and open up the last door. Straight ahead of you you'll find a lever to turn on the power. Turn it on.
You'll see a large screen in here that keeps counting dowm from 3. To the left of the screen is the teleport chamber. Have at least one person move onto the teleporter, and send one person back to the room that you started the map in. On the ground, at the base of the stairs, you'll see a circular platform; stand on it. Now have all members of your group that are standing on the teleporter press X. You'll teleported to a room with the Pack-A-Punch in it.
Be sure to have the weapon you want to upgrade equipped.
"Five":
To get to the Pack-A-Punch machine you'll need 4,500 points.
Open either door in the starting area and clear the debris infront of the elevator. Use the elevator to go down to level 2. Head down the stairs and clear the debris, then head down to the left and clear the debris infront of the next elevator. Take the elevator down to level 3. Go straight ahead take your first left, then your first right, and you'll see the power switch infront of you. Turn on the power and head back to level 2 (Use the elevator again.)
There are 5 "Death-con" switches in this area. Move up to them and press X to raise the Death-con level. Raise the death-con level all the way to 5.
In the middle of the lower level of this area there will be a red portal-esque thing. Go through it and you'll be in the same room as the Pack-A-Punch.

This achievement is called "See Me, Stab Me, Heal Me." It works a lot like Sacrificial Lamb (Above) except you need to get the Ballistic Knife from the Mystery Box, upgrade it at the Pack-A-Punch (For 5,000 points) and shoot a downed ally. Unlike Sacrificial Lamb, where the player being shot and the shooter both get the achievement, only the person with the ballistic knife gets this one.
Buy every weapon off the walls in a single Zombies game.
This achievement can be a pain. You have to be good at Zombies if you want to get this, which sounds easier than it is.

Multiplayer:
Reach rank 10 in Combat Training.
To get to Combat Training, from the main menu select Multiplayer > Xbox Live > Combat Training. The rank and CoD points you earn in Combat Training do not carry over to multiplayer.
Finish 5 Wager Matches "in the money."
From the main menu, select Multiplayer > Xbox Live > Wager Match. The three categories you'll see determine the buy in; Ante Up is the lowest, at 10 fish Points, and High Roller is the highest, at 10,000. Since you'll be playing against real opponents, there's not much advice I can offer here. Best of luck!
Watch a film or clip with a friend.
From the main menu, select Multiplayer > Xbox Live > Theater. Now invite someone from your friends list. You can watch movies uploaded by the Community, or watch a movie from your recent games list. After choosing a movie, get some popcorn ready, press Start Film and pretend to yawn as you casually move your arm over your pal's shoulder. The achievement will pop shortly after doing all of this.
