How to unlock the Red Barrels achievement in Bulletstorm - Definitive Guide

This is in Act 5, Chapter 3. Once you've entered the helicopter, you just need to shoot all of the red barrels you see. At the beginning, there is one hidden behind you so make sure to get that one. This might take a few tries but if you miss, you can just reload the checkpoint and try again. Credit for the video goes to jhaller2

Note you can restart the checkpoint during the 2nd cut-scene and try again.

just a note since I messed it up earlier, I read if you shoot the barrel next to you before you take off, you won't get the achievement. might be why blackstock was having problems

^I'm hoping that's my problem as well. I've tried this at least a dozen times, pausing the video to make sure I got every one, and still no achievement.

I'll let you know once I try again.

As he said, you're going to want to shoot the Vents. You don't shoot the Vents, you don't get the achievement

All I can suggest is that people keep trying. I played this about ten more times last night and it finally popped, even though (I think) I did literally the exact same thing every time.

That has been a frustrating ride... Travinez is right - right after you go through the window, there will be a barrel on a walkway, but BEFORE it there's a hidden spot to the LEFT. Get it and the cheevo should pop.

At least this is what I was missing all this time.

Pay attention to every single thing he shoots in this video and you'll get it. I had assumed that some parts were missable like the fans and generators. They're not. Make sure you shoot them along with the red barrels.

FWIW, I tried many times with shooting that barrel next to the chopper before getting in and no achievement. I try the whole chapter again, not shooting it before getting into the chopper, and the achievement popped first time.

This achievement seems to be a little glitchy. I've sure of destroyed all red barrels twice in my five tries. Obviously I did it on my fifth and last try.

I think this achievement is just plain glitchy. Been doing it for about an hour now, and I hit every red barrell everytime. I've even checked other videos and just shot what they shot. after about 15 run throughs I still haven't had it pop. It's plain annoying

you do have to keep trying. i did everything everyone else tried slowly going with video theres actually another video on youtube with a barrel counter in the corner of his screen.....video wasnt as good though. Mine popped before i even shot out the windows and come back around to the roof again. this is a half luck achievement.

LOOK, SHOOT, KILL, BLOW EVERYTHING UP, SHOOT, KILL, LOOK, SHOOT, KILL SOME MORE!!!!

Sorry about all the quick aiming, i know everyone was complaining about it before. Unfortunately it was necessary in order to beat it on VERY HARD. i know some people have trouble watching it but if you play the level a couple of times, you will understand. that is also why i tagged the barrel locations in the video...so you know what im shooting at. good luck!

**If you give a NEGATIVE vote, then explain why, so i can try to improve my walkthroughs/videos to better help those who need it.

**Just because you dont like the MUSIC that i put in my videos, is NOT a good enough reason to vote negative on a perfectly worthy walkthrough/video....Bad music (which is a matter of opinion) does not make a bad walkthrough....simply mute it.

Great video. Great write up and tips. And 4 me great music. Except when i watch these things 4 help. Me ( and I know others too) like the sounds in the game video and are sometimes just as important as the pictures for clues. And seen as there's nothing wrong with ur guide I would say 90% of the negs is for the distraction the music brings.

Yeah I mean after all TA is not a place t show case ur skills in syncing music,graphics and a video of U playing a game. If ur serious about passing on info to help others and not wanting your solutions taking down from collecting to many neg votes please don't include music mate. I need that help. I'm sure U put a lot of effort into Making it. Ta. Please don't take my comments the wrong way. I look forward t seeing more from u

actually dude they're suggestions not rules. some feedback in writing helps more than a thumbs up or down. unlike your feedback which was pointless and only so you could start a useless argument about nothing. its not about you being a negative nancy. its about helping people who need it. if you didn't get it the first time, try reading it a few more times to get it through your thick skull.
"Just because you don't like the MUSIC that i put in my videos, is NOT a good enough reason to vote negative on a perfectly worthy walkthrough/video....Bad music (which is a matter of opinion) does not make a bad walkthrough....simply mute it".
try using the whole quote next time big guy ;))

good vid man, i like that u marked where the barrels are because they can be hard to see. and the "quickscope" mshooting helped alot. i think i kept glitching the achievement because i would shoot the barrels on the helipad before i was in the helicopter but idk.

voted neg, as the guide is great but the two parts at the end of the description are condescending and whiny as if you are trying to tell readers how they can vote. 1. "if you give a negative vote, explain why' , er no I don't have to explain anything thank you. 2. "Just because you dont like the MUSIC that i put in my videos, is NOT a good enough reason to vote negative" again who the fuck are you to validate a readers opinion on music or reason for voting. if you cannot take criticism, don't make guides. Other than that it was a great help.

Act 5 Chapter 3

This will be at the very end of the act and you will be in a helicopter on a gun. There are red barrels spread around the rooftops and you will need to shoot all of them. It's best to just play this on the easiest difficulty in chapter select, focusing mostly on the barrels as much as you can. Trying on the harder difficulties may cause a lot of frustration.

Obtained at the very end of Act 5 - Chapter 3 where you'll ride the helicopter as the gunner to try to kill the Hekaton you pissed off. You must explode all the red barrels on the rooftops while in the helicopter. There are roughly about 21 red barrels and shooting them will cause the other ones around it to explode as well. This is like a rail shooter and the helicopter will move on it's own. I recommend doing this on your clean up step on Very Easy Difficulty because you can take the least amount of damage and scan the rooftops for the barrels at the same time. Attempting do to this on a higher difficulty will cause you to die faster. Also while going for this trophy, don't shot any of the red barrels or they won't respawn for you shot while you’re in the helicopter even if you reload your checkpoint. The red barrel that you'll see in front of the helicopter will explode automatically or you can shoot it for yourself for that's the only red barrel that doesn't count towards the trophy. This trophy is one of the most frustrating trophies in the game and will take you multiple retries to explode them all.

Frustrating Solutions:
This trophy has many controversial frustrations debates. If you're have problems it's best to restart the chapter all over again if you're not getting the trophy. The last thing is I believe that the number 1 barrel that most people miss or are overlooking is the red barrel in the bushes at 1:52 in the video below. It's the one barrel you can't see or scan for. Refer to this thread for more info about the subject.
