How to unlock the Exo Survival Veteran achievement in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Definitive Guide

If you like the game mode and play regularly, this achievement will come over time.

If you are here looking for a quick way to boost this you can set a private game on a Tier 1 map, let the enemies kill you and repeat. I can't confirm quitting works, but dying on the first wave does.

IReal Shadow pointed out that you can cook your own grenade to kill yourself as soon as the match starts and make this go even faster.

Alternatively, If you jump off the map you don't need to wait for enemies to spawn or for self-revive to pick you up.

**Update**

According to Eskobar M92, you can quit out of the game during the countdown after picking your class and it will still count as a game played.

Hold your grenade in at the start it will blow yourself up which is quicker can be done before enemies get to you,some reason it wont unlock for me on the one but done it on the 360

If you've done it on x360 before this one. You need to do it in local play. Thanks goes to v AggressoR x to comfirming me that. Sledgehammer will probably fix this when they release the first dlc, just like IW did with ghosts escape achievement.

In Exo survival you have to play 50 games in any of the four first tier maps before you unlock the 2nd tier maps. Shouldn't this achievement pop no later than by the time that you unlock the 2nd tier?
Sorry about this repost
but I am in the 2nd or 3rd tier on the both the local and online play and no achievement.

^ Do it in LOCAL play... Start match - quit during countdown or after selecting class(doesn't make a difference) and repeat 49 more times.

This 100% works as that's how I did it after trying for many hours in private match. Also helped others with this method,

By AGGY AggressoR on 03 Feb 2015 20:10
@v AggressoR x I've done local play at least 50 times but no luck. Do you have to wait the full countdown these days? I've done 50 on live and on local in that manner.
0

By Ghetto Ferret on 03 Feb 2015 20:21
There's no reason that shouldn't work as i know a lot of people that have used the local method and unlocked it bang on 50 including myself. After many hours of starting up private lobbies and quitting straight away/ completing 1st round and dying, nothing worked until i started doing it in local play. This is the same for a lot of people so I don't know why it's not working for you

By AGGY AggressoR on 03 Feb 2015 20:38

Hopefully it's sorted soon.

Hey Sighris. Thanks for answering and I think I finally get the difference now. You need only 50 rounds to unlock the 2nd tier maps, not games like I was thinking. Doh! Thanks

By Runner7922 on 26 Nov 2014 02:50
You should probably mention in the solution that this achievement cannot be obtained in local coop (unless achievement has already been won on the 360) and must be done in xbox live matches. I know the comments refer to this but it would still be a good idea to include it in the solution as well.

By KurLyJeFFerson7 on 25 Dec 2014 07:14
Can confirm that the quitting method still works as of May 21st. You may want to keep personal notes to know how far along you are (if that kind of thing matters to you) as the achievement progress is not tracked by the Achievements App -- even when snapped.

Thanks for the method OP. :)

Haven't played in a long time and just received a 4.4gb update. Trying the start private XBL, pick class, quit method isn't counting on live.

On local play I can't get it to work either & wouldn't go through it anyway as I'm trying to unlock tier 4, so on local I'd have to work through tier 2 & 3 again, time wise it doesn't work out.

Should be straight forward so this may have been patched.

The fastest and easiest way to get this is: Host a private match on your own. When game starts, just pick a class. Then quit straight away. You don't need to wait the timer go to zero.

Important! This achievement is little bit buggy. If you already have this achievement on xbox 360 then you can't get it done on xbox live games. You need to play it on local. Everything else is same. I can confirm that myself. I played 50+ games on xbox live, but nothing. Then I played local games and get it after game 50

I hope they will fix that buggy soon. And I will edit this solution, when they do.
This achievement is still buggy 22.1.2016 Probably never get fix

The load time is almost same when you are in the game only your self. But I think people is doing this in online, because they might have already played couple of games when they try to do other exo survival achievements. But anyway good point @Shadow Hydras

I have read the full list of the updates on COD AW. There is just a few fixes to exo survival mode. And these updates don't tell anything about achievement. So if you have your achievement on 360 I think you need to do it on local on x1. And please let me know on comments then, did you get the achievement like this! It will help the other guys who is wondering the same thing. wink

Although this may seem like it will take a lot of time, I can happily tell you that this achievement can be done in about 6 hours if you follow the step by step guide that I'm going to list below. Also in this guide you'll be able to unlock the achievements;
Call of Duty: Advanced WarfareSecret AchievementThe Secret Achievement achievement in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare worth 29 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement

Call of Duty: Advanced WarfareExo Survival VeteranThe Exo Survival Veteran achievement in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare worth 43 pointsPlay 50 Exo Survival Matches.

Call of Duty: Advanced WarfareClass WarfareThe Class Warfare achievement in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare worth 30 pointsPlay 30 minutes with each class online in Exo Survival.

Call of Duty: Advanced WarfareFlip FlopThe Flip Flop achievement in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare worth 97 points"Flip" a map twice.

Call of Duty: Advanced WarfareExo FlipThe Exo Flip achievement in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare worth 24 points“Flip” a map.


(1) Now the first thing you'll want to do is get in a private match, I also recommend having 3-4 players to make this achievement faster!
(2) select the map bio-lab and set the difficulty to regular.
(3) during this map you'll want to play it normally and try and flip the map twice (see flip flop achievement for more details). Make sure to use team work and communication. The best spot to do this is in the room where you have the Exo Upgrade box, have one watching mid hallway, 2 on the right stair case and one on the door. Beat 50 waves and unlock tier 2.
(4) now tier 2 in a tricky one as you need to get 75 rounds and the enemies seem a little more aggressive in this mode but choose the map Instinct and we're going to try a new stratergy which we will improve upon in tier 3 and make the 100 rounds an easy thing to do within an hour.
(5) on the map instinct there are some buildings down near a big bulldozer like thing. The building to the left of where the Exo upgrade is will be the fastest spot on this map! You'll want to camp in here with 3 watching the front and 1 watching the back Untill the supply drops come in.
(6) now what you're looking for is a Aerial Assult Drone I. One of the drops. Once round 5 starts use it and it will obliterate the enemy drones. Now that you've done that let the whole team down themselves (I'll explain why shortly). Keep repeating this process and you'll get faster and faster and can beat each 5 rounds in 3-4 minutes.
(7) alright now the video guide below will show you how it should be done if you're having trouble but you'll want to go to teir 3 once unlocked and choose the map Greenband. choose 3 heavys & the light class. Once round one starts use the uav and kill everything as fast as possible, repeat this process for round 2 also.
(8) now round 3 will start, you'll want to complete this objective as fast as possible and kill the eniemes. You'll be tasked with;
- defend the hard point
- gather the intel (0/3)
- collect the dog tags (0/20)
- defuse the emps (0/3)
Once complete have the heavys drop the goliaths for the next round which is dogs.
(9) when the supply drops come down, doing what you did on instinct, grab the assult drones and throw them up at round 5. You'll beat the round in 10-20 seconds & once you've done that ready up and jump off the edge when a new round starts.
(10) this will now end the round and you will have 5 off your 100. Keep repeating this and you can speed run this in 3-4 minutes each run.

Now why do this method? Why not play normally?!
Well because they start getting tougher after round 5, it makes going up the rounds harder and the enemies only get worse so jumping in doing 5, jumping out, jumping in doing 5, jumping out is the fastest method for this giving you 20 games complete out of 50 + the 15 for instinct and one for BioLab so you'll have (36/50) by the time you reach riot!
Now switch your class everytime you hit 30 minutes (can see time at ending scoreboard) and you'll unlock the class warfare achievement.

I hope this helped you guys and if there's any dislikes leave the reason below :)

The quickest way to get this achievement, is to select local play and the map bio lab in Exo survival then as soon as you spawn jump off the map to your death. Doing this method it takes about 40mins because the loading times are pretty brutal but it is definitely the quickest method to get this achievement. :)

No you don't need to kill anyone, you don't even need to wait for the first round to start. As soon as the game allows you to move jump off the map as quick as possible, that's how me and a friend got it anyway.

Might as well do this after you get all the other Survival trophies, that way you'll have some matches under your belt and won't have to repeat this 50 times.

FYI You don't need to pass the 1st round, you don't need to kill anyone, and you don't need to wait until you can move or jump off a cliff. You can quit out as soon as the countdown starts, and it will count. Cuts a good 15-20 seconds off each game by not waiting.

You should go for this after you got all the other Exo Survival-trophies. You can either play this mode and see how far you come or you use the quick way. Start a private match on any Map, choose Light class and as soon as you take control of your Soldier simply cook a grenade in your hand and you will go down. Once more and you're dead. That's all. Takes around 50 seconds for 1 Match.

Glitch Warning if you stack the platinum:

If you decide to stack this platinum (platinum a second time on either PS3 or PS4), then this trophy won't unlock in private matches. There is however, a workaround. You can either:

  • Delete your save file, then play 50 matches offline in a private match while being signed out of PSN. (Credit goes to Lightsp33d1987 for this info.)
  • Play local matches 50 times. This will unlock the trophy as well.


To unlock this trophy, you need to play 50 matches of Exo Survival. Self explanatory, every time you start or join a game it will count as a game played towards this trophy. You will accumulate a fair amount of games towards this while going for the Exo Survivor trophy, but if you don't have it by the time you have every other Exo Survival trophy simply keep starting up games and then killing yourself straight away. There is unfortunately no way to check how many games of this you have played, just keep on playing and it will unlock eventually. The quickest way to get the remaining games is to load up any map and quit immediately, this will count as a played game Just repeat this process 50 times until the trophy unlocks.

You just need to go into the game, you don’t have to play.

the trophy can be taken offline, go to exo-survival (co-op), local game, create any map, set the mobs to the veteran level so that they kill faster, go to the game, die on the first wave and on the next

Instead of waiting for the timer and jumping off the edges of the map/allowing the enemy to kill you, we do this:

"Closed game"
Any card
Waiting for the download
Choosing a class
Immediately click "Options"
"Quit the game"

And so in a circle
They still count, I just checked it myself.

On the first map (Bio Lab), after the time countdown, jump off the map, a defeat will be counted, which means the match is over. This is the fastest way.
Or you can achieve the achievement turned over (believe me, you will play more than 50 matches.
