How to unlock the Rocketman achievement in Battle Los Angeles - Definitive Guide

Watch the Video!!!!

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)

Thanks. This helped. Also, one addition: if you had aim assist turned on in the game options, turn it off now! Otherwise, it will drag your rocket launcher to the left, only hurting one enemy. This is, what stopped me from getting the achievement!

Thanks for that Cringer85, I had no idea why I was only killing one.

I had it on assist and did it on normal. I waited for them to stand side by side, shot between them and it popped.

Since I missed it and progressed then reloaded check point with no luck after some time. I restarted the campaign and it popped on my second attempt.

StatikFoBia at xbox360achievements.org suggests that you cant reload the checkpoint and must do it from the beginning.

I couldn't get this to work I had to start from the first level and get to this point before it would unlock.

I started from first level on normal with aim assist on and did it. Just make sure you start aiming at the spot before the enemies appear cause if you press aim while there are enemies your aim assist will snap to them.

Thumbs up from me. I figured out the spot but couldn't figure out that it has to be shot on the ground! Video helped a lot.

Just a note for those of u like me who followed the above guides and even when u manage to get both with one shot the achievement doesn't pop. apparently this has happened to several people and it happened to me, this achievement is evidently randomly glitched. Personally I tried over and over and even when obviously i killed both aliens with one shot it just didn't pop. If u are having this issue try this: in dashboard go over to system settings, select memory and go into storage device settings (of whichever device u have your saved game on, if u have multiple devices) and delete the save game file under Battle:LA, clear your cache (hit "Y" when selecting main memory unit) and start all over again. The game is fairly short so there's not too much time to devote before you're back to the section u need to be at. After starting a fresh game i got it first try by following the directions in the other solutions. Just figured id upload a solution for the few of u who may have the same issue! hope this helps!

I did this on Easy mode because I'm almost positive that enemies have less health on Easy. The best place to get this achievement is after you fought two battles with an air unit (one on a bridge and the other behind a cracked wall area). Switch to your other weapon and take out the enemy in front of you and on the roof. Two more enemies will spawn on the roof. After these four enemies are dead, switch to rockets and turn left. Down this corridor, two aliens will pop out from either side. This is your chance to aim a rocket at the ground between both of them. If you timed it right, you should kill both with one rocket and get the achievement. Also keep in mind that if you don't get it, simply restart checkpoint as it will put you right back at the foot of the ladder with rockets again.

This was tricky on normal but I got it after about 10 tries, the AI will shoot the right guy so I shot the left guy then switched to rockets and hope the 2 enemies are close enough when you shoot in between.

The easiest way of getting this achievement is the one I used whilst playing on 'EASY' mode on the last mission.

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.

This achievement requires you to kill 2 enemy aliens with a single rocket.

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.

I'm not 100% certain but after trying quite a few times i get the feeling you may have to use only the rocket to kill the two enemies, when i did it two or three times an ally got a couple shots off and it didn't award me, as soon as i blew two up before anyone got a shot off i got the achievement!
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.

Thanks to Tyger7 for the image.

After blowing up the gas station, move on. You jump out at two aliens in the passage between houses and shoot them in the legs with a grenade launcher. In general, isn’t it difficult? This is the only place where achievements can be made.

Just use a bazooka to blow up two aliens at the same time. Shoot at the legs.
