How to unlock the Tombstone achievement in Battlefield 4 - Definitive Guide

There are only 7 Campaign missions, they are all pretty short and have a lot of checkpoints to help you get through them. Stick to cover and replenish your ammo every time you get the chance. There’s not much else you can do but to go slow, stay behind cover and take advantage of your grenades and other explosives.

Your teammates will kill some enemies but don’t rely on them to much as they will sometimes run right past an enemy or let enemies run behind them.

One thing you do have to watch out for are grenandes. It seems as if the enemies were all trained how to throw by Peyton Manning. They will throw a ton of grenades at you and they will always land right where you are standing no matter how far away you are or at what angle you’re at on hills.

If you attempt this first all of the other difficulty and completion achievements will pop once you beat all 7 missions.

Do you have to do it in one continuous playthrough or does doing them here and there on hard count?

You can do them at different times using the replay mission and not all in one play through.

You deserve a thumbs up just for that Peyton Manning bit. Which I've noticed they are like that in all difficulties, the only difference is the damage that is dealt.

It;s not that difficult either, I remember when playing games on hard or veteran meant hours of swearing and hurling of controllers at the constantly spawning enemies.

Anyone have this glitch on them? I completed all the missions and assignments and collectibles on hard. Didn't get the Full Arsenal or Tombstone achievement.

The replaying Singapore trick worked for Full Arsenal but I've yet to have Tombstone unlock.

As it stands right now I'm going to completely replay each and every mission again in an attempt to get it.

Hmm. Well, after going to bed for the night turned my xbox on again in the morning and it has unlocked. Didn't get a pop up or notification.

So no need to replay it all again thankfully

lmmfao^^^^

does your health replenish after an allotted time of not getting shot? I'm on the 4th mission and my health will not go back up. I breezed through the first 3 in a couple hours took a break and came back and my health is stuck at 23. I ask just to c if its just me. I am 100% sure it was going up. not so sure now

@XBU Philippe I had the same problem. I went to Battlelog and somehow it showed that I beat all missions on hard except for the first mission. Somehow when I went to start new game and selected hard, the first mission only counted as easy. Check your Battlelog. I beat the first mission on Hard again and both achievements popped during the cutscene leading into the second mission. Hope this helps!

All 3 difficulty achievements unlocked for me after having only completed 5 of the story missions. I replayed the first 2 mission to get collectables and score achievements and they unlocked after completing the 2nd mission a second time. Perhaps it is possible that this achievement unlocks if you just do 7 missions total on hard?

Check your Battlelog, it showed that I hadn't completed Baku on Hard. I just replayed it and then it popped.

I beat the whole game on hard and it didnt give me the cheevo for beating the last 3 missions but did give me the cheevo for sacrificing irish. Come back an hour later and im back on like the 3rd mission apparently. I guess i didnt beat the whole game then idk.

I also checked assignment progress in 'My Soldier' where Baku hadn't registered. Redoing that level on hard, and getting the assignments, got all the completion achievements to unlock and also triggered the assignment and completion ones.

I found Battlefield 3 much harder. Could be me, but as far as I play now: It's really easy on hard.

I agree with Nerd for Truth. This is not hard at all. Easier than any CoD game on Regular I would say. It's barely harder than it is on normal, which was easy. I hardly changed my play style at all and breezed through it. Didn't even die until the Tashgar mission in fact. I wish I'd have done it on hard on my first play!

You will have to complete this game on "Hard" difficulty to unlock this achievement. The game shouldn't cause you too many problems at all, but there are a few pointers that will make it a little easier if you are struggling:

  • Choose the right weapon for the situation - Change your weapon to suit your needs when possible
  • Use the tactical binos to scan areas once you enter them while will show all enemy locations
  • Use to have your teammates engage enemies, and reveal them on your map also
  • Stay close to cover at all times and be ready to hide when necessary
  • Take your shots while crouched and stationary, and avoid enemy grenades
  • If stuck, try a different approach to the situation


With these few tips, you should be able to beat the campaign without too much difficulty. The achievement will unlock as soon as you complete Mission 7: Suez, and should stack with the Easy and Normal difficulty achievement. If those do not unlock, complete the final level on those difficulties while going for the other endings.

You can find a hard walkthrough on YouTube HERE.

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed. Completing the single-player campaign on Hard difficulty will unlock this trophy. Hard difficulty is considered relatively easy by FPS standards. Use cover to your advantage and stay out of the enemy crosshairs as much as possible. You will probably be shot often, but if you retreat behind an obstruction (box, wall, etc.), your health will regenerate quickly.

I used the default SCAR-H assault rifle and M39 EMR, which is a sort of sniper rifle under the DMR class of weapons, for virtually the entire campaign. It may not be the best choice of weapons, but I found scoring headshots to be easy with the M39 EMR. Headshots are nice because they are one-hit-kills and add a 25-point bonus per kill, which helps to achieve assignment scores. Also, use gadget stashes to equip explosives, which come in handy against tanks and helicopters. RPGs are useful for taking out these strong vehicles from a distance.

The trophies stack, so completing the campaign on Hard will also unlock Fish and Wolf.

Go straight to difficult, the game is quite easy and there will be practically no problems. After passing, you will also receive the Wolf and Fish trophies for Normal and Easy levels, respectively.

The trophy will only drop when the campaign is completed from a “new game”. Replaying individual episodes will not give the desired effect.

Easy is an understatement; you can almost always calmly aim at your opponents’ heads, often even at point-blank range, which also makes it easy to score the required number of points for achievements.

The only mission that will make you sweat a little is Tashgar.
Shoot enemies from a distance, sniper rifles will help you.
