How to unlock the I Don’t Got All Day achievement in Aliens Colonial Marines - Definitive Guide

When I first saw the description for this achievement I thought "ok, just take your time & don't panic". It turn's out that this is so much easier than first anticipated. During the second level of the DLC, you will go to the Sulaco's weapon control room. When you sit in the gun control chair you'll view the targeting screen & a red X will be "painted" over the target area of the umbilical. The painted x will wobble around slightly, but just aim your crosshair over the general area, hold the RT button & release to fire when the weapon is fully charged. Do this a total of four times to unlock an easy 20G.

EDIT 25/7/13
BrumtownMangler mention's that he first tried this on the Ultimate Badass difficulty & it did not unlock, but did when he tried again on recruit. Therefore there could be some kind of glitch on the harder setting.

EDIT 30/7/13
Ok it seem's that other's are having no difficulty at gaining this on the Ultimate Badass difficulty, the only other tip I could mention is be patient when firing the 4th shot. The red x will start in one position, move up, then to the right before settling on the umbilical.

OK, so i tried this 5 times when i was playing through on "ULTIMATE BADASS" and it just would not work - i have no explanation why. I lowered the difficulty to "RECRUIT" this afternoon and re-did this section - it worked first time. I did EXACTLY the same both times - i can only assume it is glitched in the harder difficulties. +1 from me

I done it on badass without any trouble. I made sure the red cross was actually on the umbilical as sometimes it moved into random space.

I was doing it on recruit, and didn't get the achievement on the first try for some reason, even though I got four direct hits right on the X as far as I could tell. Reloaded the checkpoint and tried again, got it on the second attempt.. although it didn't seem to me that I was any more accurate than the first try..

I got it on uba with no problem. Like neo I waited until the red cross was actually on the umbilical instead of random space amd it popped first try...

About 3/4 of the way through the 2nd level, you will take control of a gun and be told to shoot the umbilical holding the two ships together. Hold until the gun is charged and release it over the red X. Do this a total of 4 times without missing for the achievement. It's pretty hard to mess this up.

The trophy is not difficult. There is enough time for aiming, so there is no need to rush and if you miss, reload the control point.

The second mission, somewhere in the middle of the level, you will be given control of a gun, which you will need to shoot at the connection between the boxes.

The trophy is easy to miss. You need to hit the exact center of the four targets. The targets move, if you hit it a little too far, the target will explode, but the trophy will not be counted.
As soon as you hit the last one, press pause, if the trophy does not fall out, restart the checkpoint.
