How to unlock the Rocketman achievement in Battle Los Angeles - Definitive Guide
Info prior to watching the video: The rocket launcher spawns on the highway overpass in the second mission and must be used to fight the airsupport unit. After obtaining the rocket launcher exit the rooftop and watch the two minute video below. Play on an easy difficulty in order to minimize enemy health. If you need to restart and you will start in the exact spot this video starts (this could interfere with other achievements so use with caution)
After you have destroyed the second attack craft, fill up on RPG ammo and climb down the ladder.
You now have to cross a broken bridge, where as you do so an alien drops at the end of the bridge in front of you as you get half way across, with one other dropping down mid-right in front of you.
Kill both of them and proceed to the end section of the final mission (this is were your Sgt. talks at you like he's in a badly dubbed martial art film).
At this point he will tell you to get in the HMV and use the 50 cal. to destroy the enemy attack craft. DO NOT GET IN IT - instead wait until you see the aliens that spawn in front of you start to hide behind the cars on the left or in the middle.
Wait as the aliens will eventually bunch up on the cars (usually one in front & one behind a car) shoot them or the car with the RPG and the achievement will pop.
Hope this help.
About 3/4's through the second level, after you blow the gas station up, you will encounter a flying enemy ship and an available rocket launcher on a highway overpass. You will get about 3 or 4 hits and the ship will fly away to another location. You will run up a set of stairs and you will be able to finish the ship off. At this point SAVE your rocket! You will exit this area, go down a ladder and encounter a few more enemies. After the are finished, you will will be in a tight alleyway. Arm your rocket before you advance. Once you cross the line of the building, 2 aliens pop out. Aim at the ground between their feet and kill them.
If you fail to kill them, and only knock them down, restart to checkpoint. You will have to kill 4 enemies before you can hit these two again. Adjust your aim and fire again. Keep trying, and you will get it. This has proven to be the easier method.
The achievement will pop once they are killed by the rocket. If the achievement doesn't unlock immediately, you did not kill them.
Message me for any questions.
just a thought in case people are finding it hard to get even when they kill two enemies?
This trophy is likely the hardest to achieve because there are so few instances in the campaign where you actually have the rocket launcher and there are 2 aliens that close to one another.
I found the best opportunity for this trophy is directly after you first shoot down an alien spacecraft using your rocket launcher. Right after this boss fight, you will climb down a ladder and head down an alley to a small parking lot where aliens will be shooting at you from the roof. After killing these aliens, you head down another alley directly to your left, where two aliens pop out to block your path. They will be standing right next to each other and this is the perfect opportunity to blow them both up.
Thanks to Xerios for finding this video:
You will obtain the Rocket Launcher in the second mission as you go over the overpass. You will then need to destroy the second Alien Air Unit. After destroying it, continue the mission. You will encounter 2 enemies shortly after; 1 on the roof and 1 on the ground. Kill them and 2 more enemies will appear on the roof. Kill them then pull out your rocket launcher and sprint down the alley. 2 Aliens will come out beside each other. Shoot the rocket right in between them to kill them both. If you didn't kill both of them, click restart checkpoint because you will restart right beside that area. Make sure you do NOT continue forward if you don't get the achievement because you will complete the mission.
Note: If you are going for Color Me Impressed restarting the checkpoint will disable the achievement.
