How to unlock the It's a Dry Heat achievement in Aliens Colonial Marines - Definitive Guide

The video below shows a simple way to obtain this achievement.

At the end of Chapter 6, you will be waiting for a door to open so that you may advance. Five or six WU grunts will attempt to squeeze through the door at once. Throw the grenade when you see the first and the others should catch fire, unlocking the achievement.

Hopefully this assuages any difficulty. It is easier with humans anyway, as their movements are not nearly as erratic as the Xenomorphs.

If you're like me, and didn't know you could bring up a weapon wheel to switch grenades, try holding 'Y'. You can choose different grenade types. The default frag won't pop this.

This is also a great place to get the 2 kills with one shot from the shotgun challenge.

In case anyone is curious, as I was, it seems that using the firebomb launcher for the pulse rifle does not count toward this.

For me personally, the easiest location for this is near the end of chapter 3, Sulaco Falls.

You will come to a long empty corridor, with a window viewing space on your right. You then open a door on your left, and there is a solitary xeno crouched behind the door.

In the right place? Super.

When you open the next door, you'll be in another long corridor, with a window (viewing outer space) on your right. You'll see Xeno's appear, and run away.

This is a pre-scripted event. 4-5 Xenos will exit vents, and run (away from you) towards 4-5 Weyland Mercs. The Xenos attack, and then you have 10 or so people clustered in a very small space. Just throw your firebomb grenade (select it using Y), and wait.

I got this first attempt. Theres just so many enemies in one spot, its hard to miss.

Once the firebomb is available (Rank 4), select the grenade by holding  and pressing left on your left analog stick to highlight it when you release . The firebomb grenade launcher doesn't work for this achievement and sometimes the soldiers count, but not every time like they should. I think "enemies" should've said "aliens" or "Xenos" to make this easier. In any case, there's multiple locations in the campaign where throwing the firebomb will net you the achievement. Personally I used mission 1 (Distress) when O'Neil needs to be defended while cutting open a door. Restart checkpoint gives you multiple attempts to make sure at least 3 catch fire from one grenade toss.

This can be a little tricky against Xenomorphs so I suggest trying for this trophy against Humans, as the Firebomb is a lot more effective against them. There are numerous areas in the game where you'll encounter a group of enemies bunched together but I found the most effective to be right at the beginning of the second chapter, Battle for Sulaco. As soon as you start, kill the two enemies that blast through the door, and enter the newly opened area. On the far side of the room are a good 4-5 enemies that will jump through the windows and take cover very close to each other, thus presenting a perfect opportunity for this trophy. If you fail to get it, you can simply restart the checkpoint and try again.

Alternatively you can try it against Xenomorphs if you wish but it will be harder. The long corridor area where you first use the Smart Gun in the fourth chapter, No Hope in Hadley's will also present many opportunities for this. Please note that you will need to use the handheld Firebomb in order to unlock this trophy and not the Pulse Rifle version.

We go into the campaign and select episode 6, where the car is on the screensaver and where the spitters are. Almost at the end of the mission there is a checkpoint and a door. When it opens, a lot of enemies come out, just throw an incendiary grenade at them.

In the mission Hopelessness in Hardley's Hope, when they give us a smartgun, we throw it, run into the tunnel, pick up an incendiary grenade, wait for the enemies to be nearby and throw it.

This trophy can be earned at level 1 on the Sulaco ship. After you have collected the black box, when returning to the hangar with the shuttle, you will first pass through two small rooms. The second room with large glass to the floor, there is a corridor, at the end of it there is a door leading to the next room (there are two loaders there), before you get into this room, you will have to shoot back from strangers, the corridor is narrow, there will be about three people running there these lovely creatures, then you can kill them. It is advisable to throw a few incendiary grenades.

I tried to get the trophy by shooting from a grenade launcher, three enemies at the same time did not want to die even on the New Recruit. Strangely enough, I got it while playing on the Super Soldier by simply throwing an incendiary grenade into the crowd of enemies.
