How to unlock the Manhattan Project achievement

    This achievement can be done on multiple levels, although it is recommended to try on "Dead City", where there are 3+ hotspots.

    A hotspot can be identified by a beeping noise on your watch which has a built-in Geiger counter. The first one can be found after going into the first building after you gain access to the outdoors. Upon entering the building, you can jump onto the ATM and then jump through the broken glass into a small room with a dead soldier and a red safe key. This room is a radiation hotspot, and you will begin to take damage upon entering it. To stay alive you will need to space out 3-4+ medkits about 15 seconds apart, and continuously change your gas mask filters. After 60 seconds, you will unlock the achievement.

    There are also another two areas near a car that is parked near the playground, and inside of an upstairs room where you can find a bolt gun, which can be viewed in the video.

    Some additional information is that the 60 seconds is cumulative.

    In my first playthrough I had a total of 57 seconds spent in radiation zones, after reaching "dead city" in my second playthrough I needed 3 more seconds to unlock this.

    For me the easiest place to knock this out is the Dead City mission. When you first enter the far building after separating from your companion, you'll come into the 'lobby' area and see a set of windows straight ahead that sort of look like bank tellers' booths. The left-most window is open and you can climb through it and into the room to find a body on the far side. You'll start taking damage as soon as you enter, so just keep going in and waiting 5 or 6 seconds, then jumping out to let your health regenerate. Rinse and repeat until it unlocks.

    You can see it at the 24:17 mark in the video. I actually enter the radiation spot and point out the achievement at 24:32, but it helps to start at 24:17 to see me entering the building so you know exactly where I'm at.
