Mandroid achievement in The Culling

17 1 16

In my opinion this is the hardest achievement in the game but you can get this with hard work. First of all you got to understand the 3 main combat techniques shove, punch and block. Use all these techniques wisely and also use bows every chance you get. When you get around 13 kills you will face 2 bad guys and this is where you need to find a gun. Once you get a gun use it when you have 2 or more bad guys.

When fighting archers i was usually selling stuff because they don't come close to me

Also throw weapons you are not using close to the selling machine so you can quick sell them.

Keep moving is what i kept doing you don't want to get surrounded.

Lastly at the start of each round sit it the middle or in a corner so you can double check how many or what type of enemies you are up against.

Just keep trying this is obtainable with patience.

Thank you to gobey17 for helping me with tips on this one.

Good luck everyone :)

By the way, the achievement doesn't pop when the match ends but when you quit out to the menu afterwards.

I'll admit I was a tiny bit worried it glitched because my previous two runs ended by the 3-man katana gank squad™ at around waves 40+... Wouldve hated to fight those fvckers again ._.

No, the enemies count as defeated who are in the current wave if you die...fx i died at 48 kills but there are 3 enemies still alive in the wave so it defeated 51.

That’s strange but definitely nice. Because yeah, that “3-man gank squad” was fucked. Especially because I had no guns left.

justintime is right about constantly moving. I'd get flanked if I stood still with multiple enemies! Thank you, Justin! Personally I always backed up from them because them hitting you in the back gives them extra damage. When trying to dodge shooters, I'd run left and right without aiming to move faster.
I also used DraKeN9nE's method and it worked well for the 1-2 punch, block. Thank you DraKeN!

A little bit of luck went into it. I had a couple of times where at the very beginning the Mandroids were standing still especially if they were across the arena and didn't see me or something, they'd stay there for about 3-5 seconds. I took my bow/gun and shot them as soon as I could. I don't think the arrows are affected by gravity, so I shot them head on even with the distance. With that distance, when melee Mandroids started running towards me, I'd shoot them again and then switch to the melee weapons. I tried not to horde...hoard?...hoard the good stuff because I was nearly to the last wave...consistently killed 46 and died for a bit. My tactics against bow Mandroids shooting at me was to rush them safely. Strafe diagonally at them instead head on if they're really far from you otherwise you'll take a hit. Rush them, rev up your hit and get them when they stand still. They generally ran away from me with their backs to me!

Every chance I got, I would buy something from mystery. The armor and the boosts helped so much and if you got a lot, save them, leave them on the ground near either the recycle area or the mystery box. I healed if it I got lower than 60 to be safe.

Getting the achievement took me 3 sittings! 2 hours of practice the first 2 sittings and today, I did it for an hour. =] Yay!

I found that the 2 or 3 Mandroids ganging up against you can hit each other! That was nice, but it's still a cluster. With the 2, I'd try to focus on wiping one out as quick as possible, never letting my back turn to either. Was difficult. I killed 49 and then died, but got the achievement because of that bug. I didn't think I could do it. Technically didn't, but I'll take it. =] I'm not a skilled gamer, so it worked in my favor that this game's mechanics weren't super complicated.

I hope everyone's experience is good, just practice and stick with it. Good luck.

Message me if you have difficulties and let me know what your experience is! Maybe I can help.

Got it first try after reading this. +1

Just completed 54 kills and went back to main menu. It asks me who is signed in and doesn’t give me the achievement. Are you joking?

Posted by afrek on 22 Apr 19 at 21:14

Alright. I did it again and got 67 kills. It unlocked this time. My advice if it doesn’t unlock. Don’t screenshot your kills. It will mess up the achievement.

Going to throw in some developer logic for anyone struggling. The AI in this game loves to get itself stuck in loops of what it thinks you’re going to do. If you walk up to an enemy and hold block while backing up, 9/10 times they will blindly swing at you and get stunned. Hit them with a full charge attack and repeat, easy pickings. Anyone with a ranged weapon, run up to them as fast as you can while dodging bullets/arrows. The AI will always pull out their melee weapon when you get too close for comfort and you’re back to your rinse & repeat cycle. Make sure you’re gathering FUNC from recycling their items! Your ideal scenario should be to have 2-3 medkits in your inventory, a strong melee weapon (I recommend trident, tier 4 due to range/damage) Using this method I came up with above, I completed Advanced Survival Mode in one try with my only prior experience being the normal survival mode. (2 plays on normal and 1 advanced) Good luck. I’m available to chat if clarification is needed.
