How to unlock the Starting a Riot achievement in Army of Two - Definitive Guide

This achievement reminds us of why AI partners, while okay, are no where close to the real thing. This is the only achievement in the game, that I can remember, that you need a second player (or one person with two controllers). The AI partner will NEVER pick the shield.

You will need to be behind your co-op friend when he has the shield and you will need to kill a total of 50 enemies (as the achievement said).

This achievement also is the one you most likely will not get during the course of the game, unless you put a major focus on it.

My favorite spot for both of the shield achievements is on the Aircraft Carrier. As you progress through the level you will reach a check point and will see a riot shield in the corner of the same hallway before going outside on a narrow walkway. There will be several enemies come out at you, once you kill them all reload the check point (DON'T GO INTO THE DOOR AT THE OTHER END OF THE WALKWAY). It will only take about 4-8 reloads depending how many you have killed in the duration of the game.

This is super easy to do alone in splitscreen on Recruit difficulty. Because of how Army of Two is designed, you have to alternate the aggro anyways to get anywhere which translates perfectly to one person handling two controllers. I got all 50 required kills in splitscreen by myself in about 15 minutes.

I counted 6 guys there, so if you get lucky you’ll only do this 7 times. Sometimes the guys like to chicken out and stay in cover though so it took me closer to around 10 tries lol

Also another easy way is 2 controllers, in Afganistan whe you go underground into the gas filled rooms. Pick up the shield with the 2nd controller, have you guy get behind him and go around to the left. Use you first controller to shoot the enemies there and continue around the corner shoot some more. Takes about 3 to 4 reloads and it's yours.

will your second player get the achievement if you are reloading? I tried it with a buddy over live and I got the achievement but his run didn't get him anything...any thoughts?

If I were you I would just exit out and reload the checkpoint. If it still does not work after doing this, try having the second player start the live co-op campaign as host. Hope this works.

I had to do this achievement alone, for this I used the Aircraft Carrier mission, entering the ship through a kind of ventilation screen you will find a shield, next to it will have a door that has 4 or 5 enemies, just take it the shield with the second controller and position it in front of the enemies and then with your main account kill all the enemies there, after that restart from the last checkpoint and repeat the process, this should not be more than 1 hour.

This is the only single player campaign achievement that can not be gotten without a second controller/human partner. You have to be the one behind doing the shooting while your partner holds the Riot Shield to get this. I recommend doing it on Mission 2, Afghanistan on Casual difficulty. There is a part in the level where you are in some corridors filled with gas. There's a riot shield right outside the lift you come out from. Have one player pick up the riot shield and one behind doing all the shooting. Take the left path and circle clockwise. You can easily get at least 12 kills before the shield breaks. Once it breaks, restart from checkpoint and you will be outside the lift again. Do this 4-5 times to get this achievement.
