How to unlock the Survivor achievement in Assault Heroes - Definitive Guide
*Edit:you only have to do it 3-4 times. Thanks to bluphraust for the tip
Luckily, my first attempt on level 2 (beginning at area 5) worked fine :-)
The achievement description is not quite as informative as it could be. I originally thought that 60% of your kills had to be on foot. That's not the case. You actually have to kill 60% of the total enemies in the zone and they have to be killed while you're on foot.
At the start of the level make sure to press to get out of your vehicle. The key to the achievement is killing nearly ALL of the smaller enemies that can be killed using only a shot or two and then killing as many of the larger enemies as possible. I also made sure to destroy the large mines that show up but I'm not sure they count as enemies. Take the entire level slow and inch up bit by bit to cause the fewest enemies to spawn at one time as possible. Use grenades against the large enemies and save your nukes for the two bridges that stop your progression during the level.
The hardest enemies to kill will be at the second bridge. Once you destroy the bridge some small boats will come through. Try to stick to one side and destroy as many of them as possible. You won't get them all as they move off the screen too quickly. Larger boats will spawn next that you'll only be able to kill by tossing grenades in their path. I would advise you focus on avoiding their fire instead of trying to destroy them. If you have a nuke left go ahead and use it when there are several in the vicinity.
You'll run into a couple more waves of boats before you get to the boss. Go ahead and get back into your boat for him. He's not hard at all and I would definitely recommend using the Flamethrower for the entire battle. It destroys the homing missiles very quickly and makes short work of the boss' turrets.
This one a bit tricky. You have to hit Circle and climb out of your vehicle, then kill enemies. Easiest in Zone 1, just climb out at the start and kill your way to the Spider Boss. Climb in and defeat the boss, then climb out and continue to the End Boss. Climb in, defeat, finish the Zone. A good place to rack up foot kills is at the Spider Boss. Mini-Spiders will pour out of the ditch. Kill them on foot before defeating the boss.
You can do this easily on the first zone. As soon as the mission starts press to hop out of your vehicle, and make a point of not getting back in as it respawns through the duration of the game. Kill as many enemies as possible before they go off of the screen, especially during boss fights. Go through the lair slaying all in your path, and be sure to use all available special weapons on the bosses to make the fights go by faster. This achievement can be unlocked on any difficulty.
