How to unlock the Horde Natural achievement

    Here is how I unlocked this;

    We chose Aftermath, and built the main base that is behind the Silverback. This has 3 'funnel-points', so with a decent team of 5 is easily covered.

    Mutators do not void the achievement.

    On Casual with Super-reload, well, it's just super-easy. Even if you are not the best player, get behind cover and play cautiously!

    Build the turrent to your left upto a Fire-Turret, half the Locust on Casual do not get past it. There is also a Command Centre on the left side as well. Throw a load of wire down and you cannot fail.

    We also tried the 'Force Multiplier' (all as LE Dom/Baird), we spawned as all Marcus and we failed the first wave on purpose to character reset - we all then restarted and it popped for us all after wave 20.

    If you go as Baird LE you can easily work on your 'Witty Repairtee' progress as well.



    EDIT;
    8th July 2013

    Just did this with 2 people, so if you cannot get 5 this will help - did it in just under an hour.

    Start - Casual, Super Reload
    From spawn on Aftermath, head to the opposite tower.
    Buy that base, buy the wire downstairs, and the wire upstairs.

    First few waves you will earn $$$, put that in wire repair, as well as frags.

    The main strategy is to have the player who needs it tucked at the back near the Command Centre, ideally the player who does not covers the main staircase and the front.


    When you can, buy the base at Frags.


    This gives you wire, but more importantly - the Turret at the bottom of your stairs. Make this a Fire Turret as fast as you can, and keep that for 20 waves. This does SO MUCH KILLING for you.

    Every wave, search/buy Frags, tag downstairs, keep Turret going. On 7/17 start using Mortars. With 2 players, by 17 you can upgrade to Hammers, call them out and play smart.

    We did it with the two worst Boss Locust (Brumak & Corpsers), so good luck!

    I did this solo last night and I chose Jacinto. I did it on casual with super reload, instagib melee, and comet. I did not really use Instagib or comet but it was nice to have just in case. Remember to use either the Lancer or Hammerburst, I chose Lancer.

    As soon as you spawn just jump backwards and hide behind the little tree cover at the back of the spawn. I did not buy any fortifications, I only went out in between rounds to the nearest ammo box. Remember to be back in position at the start of the rounds so locust do not spawn where you are camping!

    Once the waves started getting dangerous (Wave 5) you should begin sticking to the cover. Most of the enemies will come from the left side but there are a few that will come from the right. It is pretty easy to keep an eye on both sides though. What you want to watch out for are Grenadiers with shotguns and boomers that could pull off a lucky shot. These were basically the only two enemies that came close to harming me. Just shoot off random bullets in order to get a super reload and you should be able to kill everything really quick.

    When it came to boss waves for wave 10 I got Gunkers. Gunkers are probably the hardest in this situation next to a Lambent Zerker. Gunkers throw fireballs into the air and have a high chance of hitting you. I recommend rushing forward with an active reload to take them out first and then run back to your camping spot. The only boss that really should give you a problem is a Lambent Zerker but as long as you don't get that it should be pretty easy.

    This worked for me on my first try.

    KiDLUCiF3RPerfect for me first try I did it solo and camped in the grenade spawn where there are 2 funnel points.

    @ HyruleBalverine - it specifically says "consecutive". how could you miss that?
    Posted on 02 Mar 13 at 07:53
    HyruleBalverineWell, logically, if I did 1-10, took a break, and then did 11-20, they would still be consecutive. They would be one wave level after the previos in the correct order. Consecutive does not neccessarily mean "in one sitting". It's a moot point, however, as I did all 20 in one sitting with a group doing another horde based achievement; quite some time ago, too.

    I know this doesn't need a video guide but i thought what the hell since i finally had time to get this one i would record it. i only show my first wave and 20th wave. I played on aftermath with, instagib, super reload and infinite ammo which defiantly made it easier, but i still had a couple close calls with random boom shots and grenades.

    LeiChatWhat did you get on boss wave 10?

    Once you've unlocked Instagib, Super Reload and Infinite Ammo this achievement is really just about getting lucky with the boss waves. If you get a lambent berserker my advice would be run away and gib everything else till you're just left with the berserker.

    Lexiii got reavers for the first boss wave.

    OverChunk143877Used your method and worked great, thank you. Got berserkers and a lambent berserker but still got it solo. The mentioned mutators are a must...

    Tried the base at the silverback but had to many entry points for the locust.
