How to unlock the Turn around... achievement in Battlefield 4 - Definitive Guide
To get this achievement you need 5 melee kills in multiplayer. To do this you need to be close to an enemy and knife them for their dog tags. Now here is the part that was tweaked...
If you knife someone from the front THEY CAN COUNTER YOU. This means if they are quick enough, they can turn your own knife against you and take YOUR tags in the process. So always knife enemy players from behind or from the side. If you are going head to head against an enemy and both of you run out of ammo then don't be afraid to knife him if you are close enough. REMEMBER not to knife them from the front though. Sprint past them and do a quick turn around to get them from the side. (They can't counter you.)
You can get melee kills in any game mode (Excluding Air Superiority) although it may be more difficult on larger game modes such as Conquest. I personally enjoy going for melee kills on Team Deathmatch or Domination. Both of these game types have very small maps, as well as random spawning. (Meaning you can get behind enemies more often.) So happy hunting TA'ers. Go stab some ass!
(For those who don't know how to counter, When an enemy knifes you from the direct front DO NOT SPAM YOUR BUTTONS. You will see a prompt come on the screen for a split second to counter. Depending on your controller layout it could be or .)
I also feel that the Recon class would be the best class to do this with because the recon class has a 'Recon Beacon' Basically like a tactical insertion in Call of Duty, just place one down ina discreet location near the action. Equip the knife and you'll be sure to run into someone.
I wouldn't say this is easy as most Battlefield players by now are over Rank 100.
I got over 1000 Kills with the Machete and Iv done most of them in Squad Deathmatch, the others game modes are too big!
Team Deathmatch is also good but Iv noticed even when your in a squad it will spawn you by your kill stealing team mates and they will most probably give away your location.
In the clip I was using the Recon Class with the Recon Beacon and they didn't even notice me because there eyes were on my team mates while my Reccon Beacon gave me the upper hand to sneek up behind them, if I failed too I can spawn back on it and try again.
Two very good maps to get are 'Flood zone' and 'Hainan Resort'
On flood zone and Resort, most players go for the roof and if they don't catch you climbing up you can easily net yourself a few knife kills!
Here is a video guide on how to unlock this achievement
This is the easiest and fastest multiplayer trophy and can be obtained for performing melee kills on other players. Similar to Shawshank in campaign, all you have to do is run up to unsuspecting players and press to steal their dog tags and score a melee (knife) kill. This will obviously be more difficult to accomplish against human opponents than A.I enemies so pick your spots. You only need five knife kills so this trophy will not take very long and can easily be earned during your natural progression.
Knifing players from the front is not recommended as they will have an opportunity to counter-kill you, and they will likely succeed more often than not. Try to avoid crowds of opponents that might prevent you from stabbing your target. Look for single players who are preoccupied with shooting at others, sneak up behind them and go for the kill. You will be invulnerable to the attacks of other players only while in the act of stealing the dog tags. Once this brief invincibility wears off, you will be highly susceptible to the attacks of other players who may have witnessed you executing the knifing. Dying will not affect your trophy progress.
Boosting Method: There really is not much reason to boost this trophy but if you find yourself struggling for whatever reason, try the following:
· Go to the Server Browser from the Multiplayer screen.
· Press to edit the filter.
· Select any mode you wish and set the free slots to "empty".
· Press to go back to the Server Browser and pick a server to join.
Following the above steps will place you in a match by yourself. Your friends will see this and be able to join you. Be mindful that other players may join as well. You will need four players to start the match. Once underway, trade melee kills with your friend(s) to unlock the trophy.
If you set the free slots in the filter to "1-15" then you should be able to find a server with a small amount of players, in a match that has already begun. This way, you will only need one friend to help you boost and you will not have to worry very much about other players interfering.
Use the Boosting Thread if you need to find friends to help you boost.
You perform Dog tag kills by knifing enemies with the () while behind an enemy. If an enemy tries to knife you but you manage to counter them, this will also count as you still get their dog tags. You can also go for frontal knife kills but this normally takes 3-4 stabs and is not recommended as the enemy will almost always counter your attack. You can accumulate some fast knife kills on Domination or Team Deathmatch where you’re likely see several enemies in a small area.
