How to unlock the If I Were a Rich Man achievement in Army of Two - Definitive Guide
-You are connected to Xbox Live
-You have downloaded the Veteran Map Pack (Free DLC)
-You have beaten Mission 8 to the last checkpoint (Where Dalton is "dressed to play and geared to slaughter" AND he calls you a parasite!)
-Set the difficulty to Recruit for quickest farming
Guns to use for most efficient farming:
Primary: Ak-47 - Everything upgraded except the Frontmount which should be left with Grip
Secondary: Pimped .44 MODEL 29 Handgun if you want the below achievement
Single Player
*I assume you have played this game and know how to control the Partner AI*
As soon as the battle starts press the D-Pad UP twice to get your AI Partner to ADVANCE agressively
This should cause the AI to shoot at Dalton
You should walk a little to the right and crouch into the small cover and also shoot directly at Dalton
When your screen turns too red, start blind firing so you can heal up
Repeat until Dalton "Falls off the Catwalk"
As soon as the cutscene ends, reload and walk across the room to where Dalton is
Just keep shooting him until he goes down
Split Screen Coop
*This method will be a little bit faster then with Partner AI*
*I could not get the below achievement using the single player method* (Did it with friend)
The reason why this is slightly faster is because the Partner AI does not follow you to kill Dalton after he falls off the catwalk
Both methods should only take about a minute or so and when you kill Dalton
Just watch the cutscene and it will bring you back to the main menu
Reload the game from the last checkpoint and repeat, gaining a whooping $75,000 after each playthrough!
You only need to do this 14 times ($75,000 X 14 = $1,050,000)
Do note that it will take longer in the beginning if your guns are not upgraded
This can be earned throughout the course of 3+ playthroughs of the game.
A complete playthrough is worth $395,000 if you collect all briefcases and complete all bonus objectives. Assuming you have already collected all briefcases in the first playthrough, the second time you can only earn a maximum of $288,500. 3 playthroughs will therefore net you $972,000. You can spend money you earn as the game tracks your total earned, and not what you currently have.
Note: Objective rewards are the same in any difficulty.
Most of the sub-objectives are pretty straightforward except for one in China where you are asked to take down the first Chinook. Preparation is needed beforehand.
You need either the RPG or Stinger (FIM92). I recommend the Stinger because despite the damage chart, it does more damage than the RPG (2 shots to take down the Chinook instead of 3 RPGs), it comes with 3 ammo by default, and it has lock on. The only con is that it cost nearly 5x more.
Once you dock at the dam, enter mid-mission shopping if you haven't already, and equip/buy the Stinger ($42,500). Throw the first control switch and clear out all the enemies first before moving the hovercraft in. After climbing up the ladder, clear out any remaining enemies again. Once you throw the second control switch, the Chinook comes flying in across the dam. Lock on and take it down with 2 missiles before it flies off.
OR
Go to Mission Select once you have completed the game and choose level China and complete the first objective. Blow up the bridge the convoy is passing over, run back to the hovercraft at the bottom to trigger the checkpoint (or else the money won't be credited), and then quit the game. It takes less than 2 minutes and it's worth $30,000. You can rinse and repeat untill you get 1 million.
