    Fight for your life is what happens when all of your health is depleted and your downed by enemies. In this state you can either kill enemies to 'fight' your way back up or be revived by a coop partner, to do this simply walk over them and hold cn_X

    Now for the coop bit you can either do this over xbox live or locally so long as the accounts that you're reviving are on your friends list, both of you need to have friended each other and not just one of you has friended else you're just a follower of that account.

    Obi Jase has commented saying that the accounts should only friend each other and not have them set as a favourite. DoonDoons recommends that both of you need to be showing as online as well, just in case.

    Here's a video using 2 controllers (Using gameDVR)

    XSHANEX912I literally did this TO THE T and it wouldn’t pop both of us are friends (not followers) both are showing online I also did this TO THE T WITH TWO CONTOLLERS lose the base in your voice when someone is simply asking for help it’s not that big of a deal

    I Like DrinkinGold must be required for this, which I don't have. So much for full completion.

    Edit: my bad. Gold not needed

    Zarda1I had to back out and invite from the title screen then continue after we had both joined on the title screen.

    AnaxulusThis was super buggy for me. Took about 2 dozen attempts. Not sure what I did differently for it to finally pop... Just a heads-up for those trying to get it :)

    Jamone the AfroI might have come across something here as it’s happened twice now and both times worked.

    So my main gamer tag hosted the first time and I invited my alt account into the game with a second controller by pressing start whilst in game and pressing a to bring in the second player, not at the main menu. I made my alt die twice and revived with the main, but no achievement. I then decided to down my main character and had the alt account revive. This instantly gave the alt account the achievement but my main wasn’t getting anything. So I swapped it around and started a brand new game and made the alt account host. Once I had loaded in, I invited my main from the start menu. Made my main die twice and revived with the alt, no achievement but wasn’t expecting it as the alt already had it. Then I let the first group of enemies kill the alt, I then rushed in with the main, killed the enemies and revived the alt, then the achievement unlocked.

    I believe it’s something to do with the host, they cannot get the achievement but the invited player can. My alt was on my friends list, neither were favourited, both were showing as online.

    Psychotic Mr LIf anyone is looking to unlock this, somehow I don’t have anyone on my friends list with this game, so if anyone needs help to get it, I need it as well so send me a message on here, or Xbox live either one

    WomiI could not get it to work in splitscreen for my gamertag, no matter what I tried (favorite or not, new characters, changing hosts, inviting from main menu, different ways of taking damage). However both of my dummy accounts unlocked it without issue in splitscreen.
    I then did it with 2 consoles and invited the same dummy account that I've been trying it with dozens of times before and it immediately unlocked on the first try. No idea why splitscreen specifically did not work for my gamertag.
