How to unlock the United We Stand achievement

    You can boost this with a second account. Log in with an Xbox Live Gamertag, guest accounts does not work! When you entered just stay in the back with the second player and be careful as the enemys are much stronger if you play with 2 players and only one actually fighting.

    Krom is an easy one, as he isn't moving and shoots from his turret. To kill him, simply kill all enemies that you encounter on your way and clear the whole area, so that only he is left.

    After that you may be lucky to stay next to a metal wall and have a small visual field through the peephole where you can use your sniper or pistol (or any weapon) with visor.
    Be careful, Krom might shoot his turret to you and you get massive damage nevertheless.

    When Krom dies you should get your achievement right away. You do NOT need to complete the quest, just kill the enemy.

    MrJenkins91You can play offline, but you won't get achievements. A pal of mine played it offline and then connected again, but none of the achievements that he would have had unlocked was popping. So you better be connected.

    KirkSadlerDoes it have to be the first time through a boss (so it counts as a quest) or can it be done at a later time?

    yeah this didnt unlock for me either, i helped my nephew fly threw first missions to sledge with my level 45 soldier. after killing sledge neither of us popped achievement. i think it needs to be first play through

    kiesan88It could be that it recognizes when a player is "afk," because I can go around and kill enemies with my main player, and if I move too far, the 2nd "player" stops getting money that the main player gets/shares.

    If I added points to the skill tree, then it starts taking in money again.

    Just a theory on this one

    Aphelion RemI've gotten all co-op achievements except this one atm, and play with 3 people one. i just made 2 new chars with 2 accounts. My account is gold and my other account is silver and still getting the achievements. Wouldn't sledge be a easier one if your just starting out? I'm using the 2nd controller method. Working this far

    RudigerMy main had finished playthru 1 (pt1). I started splitscreen co-op on pt1 with main as host and another account as player 2. I fast traveled to trash coast, sprinted out to rakk hive, and killed it. Low level player 2 stayed idle at entrance for all of this. Achievement popped on both accounts.

    j furlongI tried using a profile that had already beaten the game and went to fight Sledge; he did not spawn and I had to fight a 'Roid Rage Pyscho instead. Tried a battle against Flynt and the achievement popped

    CheerfulHawk14is this possible with local splitscreen? I just killed sledge with my other account as my co op partner but I didn't get this achievement or the achievement for killing sledge on my other account

    MushaConvoyI could not get this to work with Sledge. The achievement for killing Sledge wouldnt even pop while playing split-screen for either account. Wasn't an idle/guest either, was playing with my daughter. Neither of us got credit for killing Sledge. Was a fresh account for us both so quest was tracking. Travelled back to Headstone and killed Sledge a second time, still nothing. Guess we'll try Krom as we progress and I'll go back to Sledge solo sometime.

    Update: Killing a respawned Sledge solo unlocked the Sledge achievement but (obviously) not the co-op one. We'll keep playing, see if Krom has the same issue.

    Games MasterHad to go back in split screen and kill sledge a second time. Dumb achievement.
