    A new feature to extinction mayday is 'schematics'
    To clear up a little confusion these DO NOT all have to be done in one game. Each Schematic variant must be created once. There a a total of 5 schematics that can create a total of 10 variations.

    The schematics plans are as follows :
    1) Pipe Bomb
    2) Sticky Flare
    3) Hypno Trap
    4) Tesla
    5) Venom X

    To build a schematic you must first collect the plans from the appropriate tables.
    Once you have collect a plan you must find 3 parts to create the plan.

    The parts are found in small red toolboxes, usually behind a drillable door. The pieces needed will always be in a box when you search and the boxes can only be searched when you hold a schematic plan.

    The part that seems to be confuing many people is that the Tesla and Venom x have a total of 7 variations.

    The Tesla has 3 variations:

    1) Tesla Small
    2) Tesla Medium
    3) Tesla Advanced

    It is completely random which plan you create i believe so you may need to repeat a few times until you create the necesary one.

    The Venom X has 4 variations:

    1) Venom X - standard Venom X that shoots green smoke clouds. (Biolum required for this)

    2) Venom FX - This an an orange variation that fires flames rather than green clouds. (Orange Biolum is required for this)

    3) Venom SX - This is a purple variation that shoots seeder turrets that will fight for you. (Amethyst is required for this)

    4) Venom LX - This isa blue variation that shoots lightning. (Blue is required for this)

    So im summary the 10 variations are as followed:

    1) Pipe Bomb
    2) Sticky Flare
    3) Hypno Trap
    4) Tesla Small
    5) Tesla Medium
    6) Tesla Advanced
    7) Venom X
    8) Venom FX
    9) Venom SX
    10) Venom LX

    Any questions or ways to improve please comment or PM as this is my first guide,

    Good Luck!

    Darkness727420So Im not sure of anything anymore, because I know I created all the venom and tesla schematics. Along with the hypno trap, sticky flares and pipe bomb. So I decided to run through solo and create (at least attempt to) the venom and tesla schematics. I know damn well Ive created all of them though. Basic tesla one game then medium and advanced in another. Same thing with venom. Anyway, as irony would have it I scavenged the tesla parts backwards as I continued through the map. First advanced, then medium and of course basic when it gave me two phantoms and a rhino. Achievement popped upon laying down the basic. Reading through the comments had me worried as people were saying complete this on the one to unlock it on 360. Got it now worrie free

    kugelblitz22for everyone who is NOT playing the english version ( i played it in german) the translations are not good.
    Stick to the different baterie names, I spend 2 hours looking for the biggest batterie(Nucleic) to figure out the translation was kinda bad.

    The crafting feature has returned to Call of Duty, just this time, we are not playing zombies. The schematics do not need to be all built in a single game. This is cumulative. You can do it over 100+ different games if you want, and even mix and match doing them on Solo and Public.

    There are 5 Schematics to be made, which are as follows:

    First Area:
    1) Pipe Bomb
    2) Sticky Flare

    Second Area entrance:
    3) Hypno Trap
    4) Tesla
    a) Basic Tesla* - Cell Battery
    b) Medium Tesla* - Liquid Battery
    c) Advanced Tesla* - Nucleic Battery

    Second Area Door:
    5) Venom
    a) Venom X** - Biolum - Green Venom (explosive / green clouds)
    b) Venom FX** - Orange Biolum - Orange Venom (incendiary flames)
    c) Venom LX** - Blue - Blue Venom (lightning)
    d) Venom SX** - Amythyst - Purple Venom (shoots seeder turrets)

    *The difference between each variation of Tesla depends on which Battery you pick up.
    **The difference between each variation of Venom depends on which Biolum you pick up.


    The parts can be collected from long, rectangular, red toolboxes. You need a schematic in your hand to be able to collect the items though. And if you switch a schematic while you have some items for the previous schematic, then you lose all the items.

    For anyone trying to unlock this easily in solo mode:
    There are always 9 in the first area (3 behind the first door, 2 behind the 2nd door and one on the pipe by the intel, and 3 in the room before the tentacle.)
    There are always 6 in the second area (1 box outside the far right door, 1 inside it, 1 inside on 2nd floor, and 3 more at various locations).

    I went and picked up a Tesla schematic in solo, and ran to the first door, got all the items, crafted and put it down, then ran back and got another schematic, repeat, and did it again the third time. Each time I got a different battery because it was the same game. I got rid of all 3 Tesla variations from the first area in one game quite easily.

    Same for the Venom, though I did that in solo mode in area 2 and 3 (it gets tough, so no one will judge you if you quit and do the Venom variations in the first area in a 2nd game).
    Showing both comments.
    TooprofVery useful solution. Thanks.

    This video explains everything you need to do for this achievement

    Also, if you are like me and play this on both consoles, it unlocks for the second console once you build another thing after you get the achievement on the first.

    *Correction to the video: the type of tesla depends upon the battery type.
