How to unlock the Fly Swatter achievement in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Definitive Guide

Can be done easily on lvl 2 'Atlas'. On the second simluation run, you'll rescure the hostage and return to the entrance area. Joker (?) will shout 'DRONES' and 3 will burst through the window. Simply throw an EMP (Hold cn_LB, cycle with cn_X then release), reload checkpoint and repeat!

Here's my handy video!

Would be worth explaining the second simulation run bit, anyone who doesn't know the game's story would not understand what you mean

The best place I found to get this is in the mission ATLAS. During the grenade range, drones appear periodically (usually in groups of 3-4). Just toss emp grenades. You can keep trying the grenade range over and over (no need to restart checkpoint). Took me only about 5 minutes. On a side note don't forget to get the GRENADIER achievement for getting excellent on the grenade range.

This is by far the best place since you can keep repeating the grenade range with no penalty, have unlimited grenades, and an unlimited supply of drones.

When drones appear hold down the tactical grenade button and press X to cycle until you have EMP and then release the button to throw the grenade and destroy any drones within the blast radius. Knock out 25 of these and the achievement is yours.

Another easy place to do this is Mission 6 "Manhunt"

When you are being attacked by the Sniper, you will be told to take cover from drones, and about 10 will show up.

Use your EMP grenade on them, reload last checkpoint and repeat.

This is actually a really easy trophy. All I did was replay the grenade range in the second mission "Atlas". Any time the drones show up, just switch to the EMP grenade (holding L1 and selecting EMP) and throw near where the drones are flying. There will be 3 groups in total (one with three drones, one with two and one with four). A few replays of the range and you'll easily get this.

This trophy will more than likely come naturally because using EMP grenades to destroy drones is the best way to take care of them. EMP grenades are your non-lethal grenades and can be used by holding on PS4 and on PS3. Cycle through the grenades until you find the EMP grenade. Now, whenever you see the flying drones simply throw an EMP grenade up in the air towards them and it'll instantly be destroy any nearby drones. This trophy can be farmed, meaning if you restart the checkpoint your kills will carry over. If you don't have this trophy by the time you have completed all the other single player trophies, you can farm it in Mission 6: Manhunt. There are lots of drones out in the streets when you are making your way towards the sniper in the tower.

An alternative method, is in the 2nd mission, "Atlas". You will have to take a grenade training course midway through the mission. You will have to EMP a fair amount of drones with EMP grenades. You can retry this course as many times as you wish until the trophy unlocks.

Mission 2 . https://youtu.be/PuQPHOmsbqY?t=2m25s
The second part of the tests (grenades) at the shooting range.

We boost the required amount, restart the checkpoint. Enter 4 should be enough.

You don’t have to restart the checkpoint, you just start the “grenade throwing” training again, you can restart it as many times as you like.

I don’t understand at all why boost, you’ll get 100% in one playthrough. Keep in mind that it is easier to throw a grenade to disable several drones at once than to shoot one at a time.
