    To unlock this achievement you will first need to reach player level 51 which unlocks all perk skills

    Your level carries across all game modes e.g. Multiplayer, Zombies & DOA so all player experience earned is cumulative across all modes.

    Once at level 51 you will need a total of 36 Aetherium Crystals to upgrade all 6 perks to Tier III.

    You get a Aetherium Crystal at the start of round 11, then every 5 rounds thereafter. the amount of crystals earned will subsequently start to increase the further into the later rounds you go.

    Round 11 Reset Farming = 1 Crystal

    It takes between 10-15 minutes to complete the first 10 rounds in the starting area. You should only be spending your points on the ammo cache until you hit round 11 don't bother opening any doors at which point you can call in the evac chopper which will immediately spawn zombies next to you. Let them down you then revive yourself and let them down you again to end the game and receive the match bonus exp.

    Aetherium Crystals can be used to upgrade other useful skills such as Weapon class, Field Upgrades and Ammo Mods. These are permanent upgrades which should increase your chances of surviving later rounds but none are required for the achievement so it's probably best only spending them on perk upgrades until the achievement is out of the way.

    Round 16 Evac escape = 3 Crystals

    It's actually more time efficient to start with the combat knife and melee zombies in the first area until round 6 then buy through to Jugger-nog and purchase it and the Gallo SA12 off the wall of the plane. Then carry on Melee killing the zombies until you have at least 6500 points to turn on the power. I would recommend buying through the left path to speed cola when underground. Once the power is on build the Pack a Punch machine and buy armour then return to the starting area and keep finishing the rounds. You may as well buy stamin-up, speed cola, pack a punch your SA12 and upgrade your armour to tier 3 when you have enough points. You will have to deal with at least one heavy before you hit round 16 but the SA12 will take it down with ease. Once you hit wave 16 call in the evac chopper and escape this should net you 3 crystals in 20-25 minutes if you're killing things efficiently.

    For anyone farming these through higher level rounds

    KriSpy CharMZ has commented you will receive 3-4 in rounds 41 and 46 and 5 in rounds 51+ and an extra crystal is obtained by escaping on the evac chopper.

    Drazer76On outbreak mode, that’s free currently, you seem to get quite a lot of the crystals, is that a quicker way of attaining them?

    ThreeHaddock62Outbreak is a much better way to get crystals, and is a lot more fun IMO.

    heya guys

    i made a video on how to get socket to me & six pack at the same time :)

    to start with you must get to level 51 so just play some zombies or multiplayer and come back to this achievement when your level 51

    now what you need to do is grind for crystals
    the crystals are the purple crystals awarded at the end of a game
    to get the crystals i used 3 methods

    method 1

    get to round 11 , call an extraction then just fail the extraction ... this usually gives you just the 1 crystal but sometimes thats all you need

    method 2

    get to round 11, call the extraction and make sure you complete the extraction (completing the extraction gives you more crystals but you do need to turn the power on first)

    method 3

    same as method 2 but get to round 16 instead


    you can extract every 5 rounds but obviously it takes longer and just gets harder

    the weapons i use are the knife and the shotgun that is near the downed plane

    once you have enough crystals you can upgrade your perk skills in the loadout section under the skills menu (each perk has 3 upgrades)

    If you play cross-platform like me (pc) and you have already upgraded everything, all you have to do is view the skills and this achievement will pop up along with Socket-to-me achievement
