How to unlock the Checkpoint Zulu achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 - Definitive Guide

setup a game as follows:

classic --> casual --> alpha omega
solo
add 3 bots

loadout:

strife + dg5 + wraith fire
equipped mint + temporal gift + arsenal accelerator + pop shocks (all free)

make sure you don't leave spawn (shown as "Security Checkpoint" on the top left corner of the screen). bots can leave spawn

stay alive until round 21 and the cheevo is yours

usage of bots

I would suggest to stay at the far back and just wait it out to prevent the bots from leaving, cause they cannot come back if you need help. some might leave but as long as you don't stay alone you should be fine. they might also bleed out on dog rounds and then come back.

other notes

for a more challenging run, do it with one or more friends, and bring helpful elixirs such as equipped mint (to replenish wraith fires), power kegs (max up power ability) and temporal gift (prolong those insta kills)

I've done exactly as you say, and the bots leave immediately once round 2 starts every time due to them running out of ammo

My friend and I used the shotgun that you can spawn with and wraith fire. Anytime there was a lot of zombies piling up, we stand in a corner with wraith fire. if we were getting low on ammo and knew there was a dog round close, we would use our specialist ability one after the other. It really wasn't that hard to do all in all.

Can anyone confirm if this still works on casual? Just tried it with my wife and neither of us got it and we played to round 22.

bo4 has a habbit of allowing non-easter egg related achievements to be done in casual. I can guarantee I've done it in casual (both ancient evil and alpha omega) but since I've done it, I can't test it now, still don't see any reason for this changing.

I would suggest to try again, make sure you are in a classic game (not mutations) and that you always stay within the Security Checkpoint area as shown on the top. other than that, not sure what could have happened, but with the amount of game and server issues this game has atm, I wouldn't be surpsised if something failed, preventing the cheevo from popping.

good luck. if you need a helping hand, I'll be more than happy to join you in a game, just not at 4h48 in the morning which is for me the time of your comment xD

Does stay alive mean "don't go down" or does it mean "get to round 20" allowing you to be revived.

I have had the same problem as CrowAtNight - have attempted this 4 times in a row and each time the bots immediately move out of the security checkpoint at the start of round 2 ...

yeah they leave sometimes, not always though (or not all of them). they kinda have infinite ammo. you can try to survive on your own while they are away. in my game they all died in a dog round. after they all bled out they came back and never left. this one is a bit more difficult compared to AE since no wall buys and not a lot of space. you can add better elixirs. I thought maybe you can block them somehow using a shield or something but didnt try it :/

This the final 'survive 20 rounds' based achievement but they have saved the worst until last. The area you can stay in for this achievement is up to the top of the ramp at spawn. If you drop off the edge, you won't be able to get this achievement! Unfortunately, there are no wallbuys here so you'll have to rely on whatever you start with, which should be the MOG and Wraith Fire. You may also want to use whatever Talismen and Elixirs you have. I won't list all of the potential useful ones but if you've done all of the game prior to this DLC, there's not really much left that they’d be useful for. Whatever you choose, Equip Mint and Arsenal Accelerator will help massively from the Classic Elixirs.

Once you're in-game, you'll have limited room to manoeuvre. Use your Wraith Fires or Specialist Weapon whenever you're in a pinch and use the aforementioned Elixirs to speed up their use when you can. If you're playing solo, you'll have two self revives so there's some room for error. If you're not using premium Elixirs, you might need a little bit of luck with powerup drops but it’s certainly doable either way.

Alternatively, you can use bots as long as you don't personally drop off at the start and it'll still count towards the achievement if they do. They'll be able to keep some heat off you and may even protect you when they're near you, not to mention they're seemingly indestructible most of the time. Thanks to Jerry Appleby for this tip!

The very start of the game. You can't climb the fence. Set the difficulty to the easiest, add 3 bots if you're solo, take the upgraded Mog12 shotgun and ghost fire and just survive 20 rounds. At 21, the achievement will drop with a delay.

You can climb the fence. But you can't jump down.
