    Very similar to CR4SHED's achievement guide, but mine is easier, and allows both players to focus on a single area that enemies come from. You will also be able to get Ackbar's Elite with this guide as well.

    Map: Hoth
    CO-OP SURVIVAL
    Difficulty: Master

    Load out: E-11's
    Rogue Card Pack (The one they offer)

    When you spawn, immediately turn around and go into the doorway right behind you, then proceed to your left and into the room that has a collectible.

    There are two indentations in the room for a little hideout, on the right and left, both people need to sit in these little indents and look down the hallway that you came from. This is the only area enemies can come from. You are going to want to consistently use your cards, (Barrage and the Thermal Detonator) to shoot down the hallway to either kill or wound the enemies before they even reach the room.

    The types of enemies that will come down the hallway are:

    Standard Imperial Soldiers
    Heavy Imperial Blaster Soldiers
    Cloak Shock Blaster Imperials


    Drones, Jump Pack enemies, and snipers will not go down to the room you are hiding in.

    Our strategy was to sit in this room and kill everyone that came to us, and when we had the drones, snipers, and jump pack enemies we would go back down the hallway to the little T intersection, and kill everyone else, while still having enough cover.

    When the AT-ST spawns on round 5, you should have a drop pod sitting around the map somewhere, wait for the AT-ST to go inside (if the drop pod is outside) or vice versa if the drop pod is inside. Capture it and one of the drops should be a vehicle turret, place it somewhere in the center of the map to kill the AT-ST.

    The Drops you are going to NEED are Blaster Cannons. You can set it up in the room and it makes this whole process a breeze as the blaster cannon causes the enemies to fall to the ground (When you hit them) allowing you to kill them before they even have a chance to shoot at you. Make sure to claim drop pods during rounds that have droids, just leave 1 alive and just run around the map avoiding it and getting the power-ups for future rounds.

    Round 15 is the hardest, but not that hard all-together. Do what you have been doing and when there are just a handful of enemies left, which will be snipers, drones, jump pack enemies, and an AT-ST use the strategies you have been using before to take them all down.

    I would have this achievement, but my partners game kept crashing at wave 15, not allowing us to earn this achievement. So I should have it soon, but we were also able to do all of this within 35 min, for that achievement as well so it kills two birds with one stone.

    I hope this helps!

    GdinutI think this got patched in some way, that now jump pack enemies run into the room. You only need to walk out for the snipers and the probe droids.

    COLLOSUS5172Just finished this on master co-op in 20 minutes and it didn’t pop. I’m getting f tired of achievements not popping. I have so many that are glitched. Is this another one?

    This achievement can be easily done on the map Hoth.
    In this Video I show you multiple spots to do this the most important thing is to make short work of the AT-ST rounds.

    You should not run into to much trouble just so long as you are playing CO-OP and making short work out of the Ground units.

    With all of the taking into consideration it it more important than anything not to die because you are still playing on master difficulty and it is not a "walk in the park"

    this is achievable by yourself I did it. please note I got this and akbars elite both on Hoth. best scenario the first pod falls at the beginning of the stage and you get the blaster cannon as one of the 3 random drops from the pod.

    all you have to do is go in the hallway that's a T set the blaster cannon at the beginning of the curve. the room turns to the dead end room with the diamond collector icon. note that only regular troopers, shock troopers and shadow troopers come in the hallway. the jump troopers, droid, sniper and of course the at-st must be killed outside of the location.

    I unlocked them today as of this post by myself only need two more achievements and I'm done. the vast majority of these have been myself only the one that required a friend is the only one I had someone else with me.

    Homunculus FuryIt should be noted that jump troopers come down that hallway now. Only the Droids and Snipers don't come down the hallway. You may also want to pick up a second blaster cannon, as the blaster cannon blows up if left for too long. I lost it at wave 13 and had a hell of a time trying to get another one from the other pods that late in the rounds.
    I finally did this solo last night. First pod was outside I picked it up during round 4. Second pod landed just outside the hallway you are camping while I didn't need the second blaster cannon it was a nice back up to have.
    The load out I used was my MP set up upgraded barrage, personal shield, and upgraded ion grenade.
