How to unlock the Wolves for Lambs achievement

    Hi all,

    While playing Wolfpack, you'll notice additional bonuses in the left upper corner. Every time you clear one of these, you will gain some additional points which are crucial to reach other sequences. Below, I will list some of these bonuses.

    Additional bonuses:
    - LOCKED TARGET: Easy to do, press cn_LT to lock a target and kill it.
    - GROUND FINISH: If one of your co-op partners killed a target, look on the ground for its body and press cn_X to kick or shoot him in the head (not available while playing solo).
    - AERIAL: Get on a rooftop, lock your target and press cn_X from up the roof to kill him. This is different from an acrobatic kill!
    - ACROBATIC: Hang on a ledge or crouch on an obstacle (a fence from example) and press cn_X while on it to kill your locked target. This is different from an aerial kill!
    - SYNC KILL: To get this bonus, you will have to lock on to a target and move closer. Once the top of the screen has a countdown with 'press cn_X' on it, you will have to press cn_X for the Sync Kill to be succeeded. Other then a nice point bonus, you also get a nice time bonus as well.
    - ASSIST: Lock on a target and let your co-op partner kill him (not available while playing solo).
    - AMBUSH: Kill a target after being in his line of sight for less then 2 seconds. You will recognise these targets because they have a question mark above their heads and mostly have a dobbelganger near them.
    - DIVERSION: Let your friend chase (or let your friend be discovered by) a target and you will need to kill it (not available while playing solo).
    - SILENT: Find a target and follow it by pressing and holding cn_A (never touch cn_RT). If the meter on the righthand side is almost full, kill your target.
    - INCOGNITO: Find a target and follow it by pressing and holding cn_A (never touch cn_RT). If the meter on the righthand side is completely full, kill your target.
    - FOCUS: Go near a target and once the circle around the cn_X-button is complete, kill your target. Additionally, the x-button prompt will be flashing.
    - HIDDEN: Blend into a group or get into a haystack to get hidden. Kill your target 1 second later to get this bonus.
    - MULTI KILL: Kill your targets within a 2 second range to get this bonus. This can be obtained in solo starting from sequence 10 (this is random).

    Other useful hints:
    - Kill the extra target (with a clock) when he appears. More time means more kills.
    - Watch out for the later sequences were targets use diversions and/or smokebombs.
    - It's probably better to approach your targets with stealth. If you need a hidden kill, you can easily combine it with the incognito and focus bonuses.
    - It's useful to have throwing knives equipped. Once a target starts running, you can slow him down with those.
    - When playing in a group, be sure to communicate. The more people, the more chance you have of reaching sequence 25 but communication is the key. Be sure to not kill each others target except when stated otherwise.
    - Use the D-Pad to scroll through targets and kill the nearest. If there is one target left, don't spend your time on getting bonuses but kill him quickly to get other targets.
    - While playing in co-op, you'll get the chance to do a Sync Kill on sequence 10, 16, 22 and 25.
    - In co-op, synchronize your kills to get more points (the Multi Kill bonus).
    - If you receive new targets, press the back button and scroll through them with cn_down. If you have two targets of which one is a coward and another is a fighting type, you want to kill the latter first and then focus on the coward since the fighter can stun you and the coward will more likely run off.
    - Do a ground finish whenever possible. This is the most easiest 'get more points' bonus you can get. It would suck to see your game ended with a 50 point difference before another sequence because you didn't do a ground finish.

    Good luck! If you have any other additional hints and tips, add them in the comment section or send me a PM. I'll gladly add them in.

    Edit:
    I just unlocked the achievement solo. After messing around with abilities I had equipped the following:
    - Ability 1: Smoke Bomb (Long-lasting + reduced cooldown)
    - Ability 2: Poison (Maximum points)
    - Ranged Weapon: Throwing Knives
    - Perk 1: Overall Cooldown
    - Perk 2: Resistance
    - Win Streak: +550 Silent streak
    - Loss Streak: Can be anything
    I've unlocked my achievement on the map Charlestown since I believe this is the easiest one. Try to find your own 'better' map though, since playstyles can often be different from the ones I use.

    Edit 2 (April 6th, 2013):
    User Onsidic sent me a message with the following information:
    When selecting the "Wolfpack - With Extra Content" it will still show up the original maps, so make sure that you select one of the following maps or the achievement will not pop after wave 25. The additional maps are Saint Pierre, Fort St. Mathieu, or Charlestown.
    That being said, be sure to pick one of the three named above to be sure you pop this achievement. Big thanks to Onsidic for the PM.

    ReaganSteinIf anyone else is having issues with this one, I just got it solo with the following loadout on Saint Pierre:

    Disguise
    Money Bomb
    Throwing Knives
    Resilience
    Overall Cooldowns
    250 silent kill streak bonus (the higher one wasn't proccing enough for me with the odd kills mixed in)

    As for the duplicate guys:
    Anyone leaning on a wall is your guy
    Locking on your target should prompt you with "go" if it's the right one.
    Sometimes the "go" prompt wouldn't appear for me so it just came down to guessing on one.
    Money is an easy way to tell too, as your guy will be the only one not going for it and/or will outright change in front of you.

    Definitely just get the incognito boost every time and try to use the disguise on early kills for the boost. I found the disguise invaluable for getting close to the paranoid guys in the later rounds so I could still get incognito kills.

    Also any time you can stray off the path to grab a quick hidden kill it will add a significant +300 to each kill. I would go for these over incognito if I had to make a split decision. Try to break line of sight whenever you can and you can run fast, I loved the boxes and stands all around Saint Pierre for this.

    I'm convinced the additional time people on the last two rounds are trolls, they would routinely run me across the whole map, so I just stopped doing them after the bad waves (19-22).

    Good luck, it's doable.

    In my opinion this achievement is most easily done solo. It saves you the trouble of coordinating with a team and you can kill your targets however you wish without another person attacking prematurely.

    You must be playing on either Saint Pierre, Fort St. Mathieu, or Charlestown but you do not have to be a character from the DLC. The best thing you could possibly do wait to kill your targets with incognito and the focus bars full. This will give you max points and is also a bonus objective many times. Forget air kills and hay stacks. Stick to simply following close to them and kill them when the bars are full. If they are in a crowd blend with the crowd for a 300 point bonus, instead of just hovering around outside of it.

    Next is you want to be out of their line of sight as much as possible while approaching them. This will allow you to run up to there position with out lowering your approach bar. Always try to place an object between you and the target so that you may run up to them quicker.

    In later waves there will be targets with basically someone else as a decoy, This can kinda be a guessing game as to which person it really is if you were a low level like I was (20). If you get close but far enough back where they cant stun you, the real one will turn towards you as well as say something. Throwing a knife at one of them will also reveal which one is real. They wont morph but you should still be able to tell. Things really get tricky when there are 3 in one group. Sometimes you will get stunned or smoke bombed, other times you may pull off a multi kill. It really depends on how many people in the crowd screw with their actions.

    After a couple waves of hell around 17-21 it seemingly gets easier again. Depending on your time you should feel comfortable in the rest of the waves. If you are doing well enough the extra time targets will not even appear. The game seems throw them in a certain wave takes you too long. If you are constantly being giving time targets, odds are you aren't going to make it. Persistence is key. You may have a couple bad games where things go wrong but even when that happened, I consistently made it further solo than I did with a team.

    As always, this info is meant to be used alongside the other solutions, as well as any videos you might find. The key is to develop a strategy that works for you.

    First, and most importantly, this achievement can only be unlocked on the 3 bonus maps. For simplicity, always chose Standard Wolfpack- Extra Content Standard, in the middle of the menu, then pick Charlestown.

    As stated before, the best bonuses to use are Snoke Bombs and Poison. Poison is especially useful, because you get a ton of points for using it alongside Focus and Incognito. It can make the difference between running for another kill to get to the next level, and being given a time bonus without doing extra work. You can also pick Poison Darts as a long range weapon, which are very useful if your targets are stationary but wary. Keep in mind you need to be level 24 to get Poison, and you have to be online to use created ability sets.

    In gameplay, the factor that will decide if you win or lose is POINTS. The extra time guys show up either randomly, or when time is running too short; they also spawn in inconvenient places. So, you need to get the max amount of points for every kill, in order to quickly get between levels. And the higher you go, the more points are required to level up.

    That being said, the kill bonus requirements you need to focus on are getting Incognito kills, Hidden Kills, and Focus kills. Occasionally, you can get a requirement to combine those, as well as getting a kill worth a certain amount of points. Don't bother with Acrobatic or Aerial kills, and definitely do not try for Ambush bonuses. They waste too much time, and can be made up with a good hidden kill with Focus.

    The game is easy up to level 15, and then the enemies start getting smarter. The time bonuses are also fickle as well; you can get a perfect kill, and not get more than 30 seconds attached to your time. The key is to be patient, and take the couple extra seconds in the earlier levels to always get am Incognito and Focus bonus. By focusing on high points, you can build a bank of time. Use Poison whenever possible.

    After level 19, you start getting hit with Hunter kills. These are a huge pain in the ass, because you can easily kill the wrong person. The only indicator that is foolproof is if two are against a wall; the target is always leaning and not moving. You will have to be quick, otherwise the kill will be contested. When there is a crowd, the best thing is to wait until the target speaks, then mash X to kill him quickly. This will eat up a lot of time, so keep looking for extra time targets. At some points after level 23, there will be another wary target a distance away. Go straight to him, and use Poison before you get stunned.

    The other terrible target is a guy with two bodyguards, all of whom are extremely wary. Unless you're stealthy, the best thing to do is throw a smoke bomb, then attempt to Poison the target. Otherwise, you'll have to mash X and hope for the best. Again, this is where having a large bank of time comes in handy.

    A final thing to note: you will find yourself running low on time a lot. Keep this in mind: the minimum kill value is always 150 points. If you're running low on time, but are nearly to the next level, just run to the next target and get the level up. It will give you breathing room, and saved my bacon at least twice during the successful match I had.

    Remember- be patient, use Poison to rack up points, and take out extra time targets whenever possible. Bad kills are not the end of the world, but the way you react to them can either give you a huge advantage or sink you.
