How to unlock the Fire Drill achievement in Aliens Colonial Marines - Definitive Guide
When you reach the hangar at the end of the mission go to the left Corner of the room and up the stairs, when you turn left you see the first emergency release activate it .
Follow the walkway around to the 2nd release when your almost there the crane in front of you will fall. Turn around and a door will be in front of you and two enemies. Then in the next room kill the heavy.
Activate the crane switch, now it will take a few seconds until you can reach the second release. Once you activate it jump down and the achievement will pop.
Video below for more help.
To open the door an finish the Chapter you need to activate 2 emergency release.
- Go to the far left Corner of the room and up the stairs, when you turn left you see the first emergency release. Dont activate it now. Go the way around to the 2nd release.
- when your almost there the way in front of you the way will collapse.
- Turn around an you will see a door in the front of you.
Go there and kill the 2 enemys in that room.
Then in the next room and take out the heavy armored enemy to your right.
-Activate the crane switch. Now it take a bit until you can go to the 2nd swich, thats why you want to activate this one first.
- Then simply activate the first one and go on the ramp of the transporter, in that moment a cutscene starts and the achievment will pop.
It's my first solution here and I hope it helps.
The end of Sulaco Falls (Mission 3) is a hanger where you must operate some computer terminals while fighting Weyland's troops. When you enter the hanger, there will be an upstairs platform that you need to get up to. In the first room there's a computer to arm. Once finished, proceed to the end of the platform where the next computer is. Before you get to it, your "walkway" will collapse. Turn around to see a new room open up (with enemies inside) and once cleared, use the computer in there. Wait for the new pathway to arrive and proceed to the final computer. Once you're finished, quickly hop down to the lower level and proceed to the ramp of your dropship. This will unlock on Recruit difficulty if you finish under 2 and a half minutes when the cutscene starts to play. If your takin too long, pause and select "restart checkpoint" to try again. The video below shows the layout and strategy.

This trophy can only be earned in the third mission, Sulaco Falls and it is highly recommended that you play on Recruit difficulty when trying for it.
Your final objective in this mission will be to arm the emergency releases and escape in the ship. As soon as you enter the hangar, run up the stairs in the top left hand corner of the room and arm the first set of releases. Next you will need to make your way across the catwalk to the opposite side, ensure you dispatch enemies whilst doing so. When you make your way to the other side, the crane will drop, cutting off your path. Run back and enter the newly opened door to the control room, however, take precautions here as a Heavy enemy is residing inside. Once the Heavy has been taken care of, activate the control panel and run across the crane bridge to reach the final emergency release.
Once this has been activated, you simply need to make your way back to the ship. Don't just run blindly for it and make sure that you are taking out enemies along the way. 2:30 is a fairly generous time especially on Recruit difficulty and you can take a fair few hits, so you shouldn’t have too many problems with this one.
At the end of Mission 3 - you will go to the hangar . As soon as you enter this location, the “ timer ” for the trophy will begin. You have two and a half minutes to turn on three switches (Go to the keyboard and activate) and climb into the shuttle . I recommend playing Recruit. (Easy difficulty) because - this allows you to get to enemy groups and not die. I recommend using a shotgun. After you activate all 3 switches , go down (or better yet, jump) and climb onto the shuttle.
