How to unlock the David & Goliath achievement in BioShock Infinite - Definitive Guide

Heavy hitters are quite a bit tougher than the run-of-the-mill enemies and act as sort of "mini bosses". Motorised patriots, handy men and sirens seem to count towards this total.

You can grind this achievement. Kills are cumulative even if you reload a checkpoint before the game saves again.

For me, it unlocked during the fight with the first handy man that you come across (in Finkton) whilst trying it to get the achievement for hitting only its heart. Before finally unlocking that achievement, I killed it several times. Each kill counts towards the cumulative total.

When you kill the handy man, simply reload the checkpoint and you're back in the gun shop just before the handy man appears.

I already had 15 or 16 kills by that point, just from playing through the game normally.The checkpoint before the handy man means that it should make it reasonably quick and easy for you to grind out as many more heavy hitter kills as you need to unlock this before you press on with the story.

Heavy Hitters include
- Fireman
- Zealot of the Lady (the Crow guys)
- Motorized Patriot
- Handyman
- Siren

There are more than 20 of these in the campaign and most of them are required fights. You should have no trouble getting this achievement in a single playthrough. Make sure to use your vigors, and aim for their head or, for the handyman, heart. Devil's Kiss (fire) is effective against many of these. Also try charming nearby soldiers.

This trophy should come naturally whilst playing through the game. There are five types of Heavy Hitters you can kill:

  • Crow - These enemies transform quickly around the area by changing into a flock of crows.
  • Fireman - A large, armoured enemy who uses the “Devil’s Kiss” Vigor against you.
  • Handymen - The huge enemies who have massive hands and a visible heart right in the middle of their body.
  • Motorized Patriots - Robots with the face of either George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. They carry a Peppermill Crank Gun (Minigun).
  • Sirens - Ghostly, white enemies who float around the area and resurrect the dead.

Note that the Boys of Silence (enemies who wear a bell-shaped helmet and have trumpets for ears) are also counted as Heavy Hitters, but it is impossible to kill them. They can only be avoided.

There are well over 50 killable Heavy Hitters throughout the game, many of whom have to be killed before you can progress. Therefore, there should be no need to farm this and it should be practically unmissable.

The trophy is story-based, if you don’t run away from enemies at some levels, you’ll get it without any problems

We'll get it as we progress through the game. Heavy opponents: “Prioman”, “Patriot”, “Mechanic”, “Crows” (the first time we see him in a black cap and with a coffin on his back) and bosses.
