    Beat the first wave of AI in Wave mode
    LB and RB to grab them and Y to lift them up
    Subway is probably the easiest level in wave mode

    This is my full 100% Achievement Walkthrough, all solo methods
    You only need an extra controller for the football achievement
    I also teach you how to play

    Nave SutlefThis is definitely a solo thing, I’ve tested it with multiple people now.

    Friggin GreaseThis is up there with one of the worst games I've ever played

    Berserker ArmorI got this one by loading up the Subway stage, pulling both of the AI down onto the tracks and climbed back up. They couldn't get back up so I just waited for the trains to do their work. Took about 3 trains hits.

    Hello this is my first solution but after reading other solutions with limited success I feel like I’ve got the best or in my case easiest method to doing this. Start up a local game (1 player) of waves and choose the stage “Roof”. I found this method easiest because you don’t have any real danger besides the AI picking you up. To counter act this I recommend knocking out the taller enemy and then when the smaller one tries to hit you simply hold Rb+LB together and hold Y and you should pick him up, once you do run over to the edge and if your close enough your momentum should be enough to throw them off the edge. May take a few attempts if your having trouble knocking out the bigger guy but it may also work better if you flip the role and knockout the smaller one first. Cheers everyone and if this helped make sure to upvote and if leaving a negative let me know what I can do to improve my solution! Happy hunting :)

    Note: If you don’t pick up the enemy after initiating the button combo, you may need to try again as you may not have grabbed the enemy from experience I had times it took a few tries.

    Set Game Mode = Waves
    Stage = Incinerator

    Survive 1 wave fighting against 2x AI's - Punch cn_RB / cn_LB, kick cn_X and headbutt cn_B.

    I found incinerator the best stage for this one as you can throw them into the incinerator. FIght the 2 AI's, pick them up using cn_LB / cn_RB to grab and cn_Y to lift them, drag them to the edge and drop them into the fire - you can also drop them on the conveyor or even fight on the conveyor itself and knock them out but that's a bit riskier. I'd recommend doing this one once you are comfortable with the games controls as it takes a bit of getting used to.

    The Achievement guide below will walk you through this achievement and all 18 others achievements in the game too including an easy method for getting the most difficult one in my opinion (Sit Down achievement).
