The War to End All Wars

The War to End All Wars

Complete the campaign on Hard difficulty

How to unlock the The War to End All Wars achievement in Battlefield 1 - Definitive Guide

Alrighty so this campaign is pretty damn easy on Hard, nothing in particular should give you too much hassle, though there are three points I would like to bring up so you are aware of it;

1: The first War story where you are a tank driver. Take this one slow and steady, just like everything else but I think it's probably harder here than what the foot sections are, most things take you down VERY quickly if you are not careful.

2: Just make sure you are doing it on Hard, for whatever reason my difficulty reset a couple of times during the campaign so just before you launch a new war story make sure that it is set to hard.

3:


Overall a pretty easy, breezy campaign to do on the hardest. but in the wise words of the Aussie from the Gallipoli campaign: "Don't be a hero kid"

Give 'em hell.

Are the difficult cheevos stackable? By doing it on hard, will it unlock Normal too?

Yeah most of my achievements have/are glitched on this game.

This achievement popped randomly after only finishing the second war story.

I then went back to get the last codex on war story 'Through Mud and Blood' and got that with no achievement with the tracker stuck on 30%...My Field Manual tracker percentage has gone down and my 'Complete the campaign on Normal difficulty' percentage has also gone down.

With these problems in single player and the multiplayer tracking issues I'm tempted to wait till there's a fix before playing anymore in case I lock myself out of any achievements!

Not really related to the achievement, but I was curious if there are any special weapon skin unlocks or anything for beating the campaign on hard? Like the ones for unlocking all of the codex entries or whatever it was exactly that awarded those. I'm only curious because I ended up with the achievement unlocking by glitch after I beat only one level on hard and just wanted to know if there is anymore incentive to attempt it, other than my pride.

I'll third Springbock too.

You can get in a couple of cheeky hits with the field guns as soon as the detonation animation finishes but it's far easier to get this done on horseback.

Guide is missing one crucial detail, to unlock the ending achievements you have to watch the Remember Us cinematic that pops up on the map after you beat the last mission. I was expecting the achievements to pop after I blew up the train and was all like ffs it's glitched laugh

For the train just use the anti-tank rifle, lay down 4-5 shots when it rolls in after that just continue moving and take potshots and it will be down in no time

I wouldn't say it is breezy, the plane controls are awful and no way of fixing them without making the controls more awkward. For the tank missions, you can sit back from that start of each section and pick off field-guns and tanks. This is especially useful for when defend the train-yard, just fall back to the starting area and just lob shots at the patrolling tanks. Makes the mission a cake-walk. Also dont try and assassinate flamethrower guys that never works lol

I would say it was pretty damn easy, even did all of the challenges on Hard except for the 10 planes in 30 seconds.

One little cheese method you can still use is on the final final mission where you blow up the armored train. You can jump from horse to horse and do a strafe run with the two anti-tank grenades. The nades re-spawn in the horses every time you use a different one, and the train can hit you for love nor money when you're sprinting on the horse.

Do you have to do the prologue as well?

Think I did the prologue on normal, all other missions on hard and I've got no Acheeve at all, not even for doing on normal :-(

Only reason I can think was I did the prologue when on the EA access trial before release date and did the rest after game was released, havnt had time to re do prologue yet but hoping to do later

I have a problem. All the achievements popped. On the HUB, they say that I unlocked all the achievements BUT I'm stuck at 960/1000G and 30/31 achievements. Weird.

For the train I just sat on one of the houses with a mortar and used it. Other than a couple of stray bullets wizzing past nothing hit me. Could not figure out if it was a bug or I was just lucky but made killing the train very easy.

This one is bugged. Also the achievement for complete campaign on normal. Starting with this, I played the runner. The part when you leave the ship and runs up the land. (Playing on hard) I was in the pausing screen for a while and I was right before to take over the first site but when I saw that I needed to get 10 headshots for a codex I choosed to restart from checkpoint and then I got the achievement. I then continued the campaign to the end because I wanted the other achievement for completing it on normal, but... didnt get it. After completed the campaign on hard the achievement for completing it on normal says 35%. Anyone else having this issue?

In regards to the skin, not so far as i know of mate. I'm not aware of one at least, I got a couple skins from battlefield special edition and one from the codex's but nothing other than that i'm afraid.

An addendum to your third tip about the train. I personally found using one of the horses the best way.

Grab a horse, gallop to the front of the train where the mortars are, throw both grenades and leg it away until the grenades recharge.

That also makes it very easy to keep the field guns from being destroyed if you wanted to go for that as well.

Just wanted to add as i overlooked it, after completing the last war story mission, there is a little film that pops up just below the runner called "Remember us" and you are for some reason forced to watch this to get actual credit for beating the game. :D

If you've already seen it, you don't have to watch it again. I just had to complete the final mission on hard to unlock the achievement.

The difficulty is greyed out on each mission when not complete, and white when you have.
Down by the codex and the challenges etc

I'm a big fan of Seraphim17 and all of his YouTube guides, so I've posted his walkthrough for Battlefield 1 on Hard. The game isn't too ridiculous, but there are some parts that can be a bit tricky:

Start a fresh session on a day of your choice and go for it. Remember to watch the final film that pops up upon completing the last story mission. Feel free to replay the first mission if you'd like to. Difficulty carries through when multiple missions are played in a row. Also, an indicator on the war stories menu shows you the highest difficulty a mission has been completed on. This will give you a way to measure and gauge your progress. Good luck and have fun! War and tactical reconnaissance missions are fun.

Tips:
Follow orders given to you by the in-game leaders.
When selecting a new war story, make sure the difficulty is set to hard.
You'll have plenty of time to complete the campaign. Feel free to change your schedule or make accommodations as you wish.
For the final fight with the armored train, stay moving, take cover, use field guns when needed and salvage explosives from the ammo crates scattered about the area.

War Story Tips:
Introductory mission: This one is easy.
Through Mud and Blood: The tank missions are a breeze.
Friends in High Places: For flying missions, stay on target and remain focused.
Avanti Savoia: Enjoy the mountains. Stay strong.
The Runner: Enjoy the naval assault on the hills. Take it objective by objective.
Nothing is Written: Enjoy the final war story. Strategize here. Stay strong against the armored train.
Remember Us: You just have to watch this one.

For this achievement, you need to complete the campaign on the Hard difficulty. The difficulty achievements stack, so if this is your first playthrough, you will also unlock “The Great War.”

The Hard difficulty is available immediately and isn’t very hard at all, and while some parts may be tricky, it is not going to challenge a typical FPS player all too much. As always, follow these tips when playing on Hard:

  • Use cover and only shoot when not being shot at directly. Take your time and don’t “run and gun.”
  • When injured, use cover or go prone until you have fully recovered.
  • Crouching or going prone will make you a smaller target plus steady your aim.
  • Conserve your ammunition. Don’t “spray and pray”; be mindful of your targets.
  • If your current tactic isn’t working, try another approach.
  • When not in combat, always remember to reload your weapon.

Following these tips will make your playthrough easier and less frustrating. Your deaths will be minimal if you play smartly.

This games hard difficulty isn’t really that hard besides certain parts in the game. During your hard playthrough you will want to try and get through areas where you are on foot silently so that you can avoid combat as much as possible. If you have to initiate combat then you will need to use cover as much as you can as during certain parts of the game there will be a bunch of enemies that will come towards you at once which, if you’re not careful, will result in you dying easily.

Playing in the tanks can be a little bit trickier as when you take damage you will take a considerable more amount of damage. There are certain tanks in the game that will kill you in three shots.

During Steel on Steel you will be in combat the whole time. You will want to destroy the field guns as quickly as possible as it will take them less shots in order to blow up your tank. There will be two major tank battles during this chapter and one light tank as well. The first tank battle will happen when capping flag C, a tank will come down the road in front of you. Before it comes down the road aim at that area and start shooting it as soon as you see it to weaken it as much as possible before it starts to shoot at you. The second tank battle will be with a light tank that will attack you while you're destroying the second set of artillery. It should take you 3 – 4 well placed shots in order to blow it up. The final tank is at the end of the mission near the bridge. While going for this tank try to stay as far from it as you can and constantly move around as you have no cover from this tank. If it manages to damage you a lot then by this point you will be able to leave the tank and repair it from the outside which is faster than doing it from the inside.

The next time you’re in a tank will be on the mission Steel on Steel. During this mission you can avoid the beginning fight. From the start turn left and hug the barrier all the way out of the village. Doing this should make no tanks spot you. During the second part you will want to destroy the two field guns in that area and clear out all the enemies as they will be hurling explosives at you constantly. There will be three waves of tanks that will come at you during this second part. During this you will want to take out the light tanks first as there are more of them and they can get shots off quicker, also you can take them out faster than the other tanks. After you destroy the light tanks that are in each wave you will want to focus on the bigger ones. You will want to hit these tanks on their sides and backs as much as possible in order to finish them off quickly. If you need to repair your tank then repair from outside as it is faster.

During the missions when you’re in a plane the best thing to do is to take out the objectives as quickly as possible. There will be a lot of enemy planes trying to take you down so you will want get through the missions quickly in order not to have to deal with them since they’re more determined in hard mode to come after you and destroy you. During the blimp part in Forte Et Fidele you will want to focus on one blimp and use both your rockets and guns to take one of them out as quickly as possible. Once one of the blimps is destroyed then the game will continue on to the next checkpoint.

(After you've beaten Nothing is Written another area will open on the map called Remember us. You will need to watch this in order to obtain your trophies for beating the single player campaign.)

To get the trophy, you need to watch the final video, “Remember Us.” Unlocks on the global map after completing all missions.

I advise you to shoot at the train from the two outer guns on opposite sides, two shots and you can run to the other one so that you are not hit by its attack. Each time the train will move in the direction from which you fired.

If you have problems with the train, just take a horse, ride to the end of the train and throw 2 anti-tank mines at it, then turn around and ride to the tent with supplies. We ask from the horse, sit down and you again have 2 grenades. Repeat until victory

There is a much simpler option, I just crashed a train on hard with a tankgaver, it is located in a tent behind the respawn, it is better to take it in the previous mission because by the time I started killing the train I had 3 rounds in the tankgaver. In short, we turn around after respawning, run into the tent, take a gun, run out, lie down next to a pebble not far from the same tent and shoot at the train, 14 or 16 shots and the train went boom. By the way, don’t forget to crawl away behind the stone after a couple of shots, no need to be greedy, and shoot at the towers with machine guns, they fly off after 3 shots.

The previous two tips (the first one in the add-ons) say that after throwing grenades at the train you need to return to the tent with supplies. So - it's not necessary. Grenades will respawn if you are on a horse, regardless of whether there are supplies nearby.
