How to unlock the Ten K achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Definitive Guide
If you MUST play on the easiest difficulty, or just want to solidify your 10k, then attempt to finish a majority of the challenges on a given level. Each challenge, regardless of difficulty, is worth 2,000 points. Every mission (not sure about Strike Force) has a challenge to not die, which is 2,000. There is usually a challenge that revolves around the player obtaining some weapon in a stored location that requires the kit to access, so have that kit on!
You can replay any mission at any given time upon completion of the given mission. This achievement should be rather straightforward, so good luck hunting!
EDIT: According to a user, if you fail a Strike Force mission, a score of over 10k is still acceptable and counts toward the achievement.
for sure u will get 10,000+ points each mission and then once you finish the game go back and replay the strike force missions on easy, the reason is, strike force on veteran is a pain in the ass, you can do it on whatever difficulty you want to but on easy its a cakewalk.
kill the majority of the enemies in each map and you will get 10k easy. took me around 30 mins to finish all strike force missions on easy.
Also, you can fail those and still get more than 10k on 'em
1. Set difficulty to "Recruit". Why not make the achievement easy?
General play-throughs should net you 10,000 points or more.
This step alone may earn you the achievement.
2. Strike Force missions are required for earning 10K, but "FOB Spectre" is not. I've 100% confirmed this fact. I earned 10,000+ points in all missions and the achievement did not pop until I completed the Strike Force missions. I still have 9,000-something points in "FOB Spectre", so that mission is NOT necessary.
3. If you somehow didn't earn 10,000 points on a mission (see your career record to see your score), try some easy challenges to add to your points. One easy challenge for all story missions is finding all 3 pieces of intel. Another easy story mission challenge is not dying in a mission (it's on Recruit difficulty, c'mon).
The "Second Chance" Strike Force mission contains an easy challenge of killing 10 enemies while playing as Chloe/Karma. "Odysseus" has 2 easy challenges of hitting 20 enemies with your Combatant Suppression Knuckles and finding Mason's personal items in his bunk at the very beginning of the level. The "Achilles' Veil" mission has an easy challenge for shooting the flying quad drones (I believe 20 of them).
All this will definitely get you the 10,000 needed if you didn't initially. See each video's YouTube page for author credit. An error won't let me manually label the videos with proper credits.
You get points for the following actions:
- Kills (10 points per kill)
- Headshots (50 points per headshot)
- Melee (100 points per melee kill)
- Robot / Vehicle Kills (150 points per destruction)
- Explosive (150 points per kill)
- Stun (250 points per stunned enemy)
- Difficulty (5000 points x difficulty level - 4 difficulties in total)
- Challenges (2000 points per challenge)
You will automatically fulfill the requirements if you play on the second easist difficulty “Regular” or any higher difficulty. The 10,000 points have to be reached in every Story Mission & Strike Force Mission (16 missions in total). At the end of a Mission you will see your score. You can also go to mission select and press to see your career record with all your highscores of each Mission.
In the campaign, you can get scores for each mission. You cannot see while in the mission what score you currently have. You may only see it in the stats screen afterwards. To check which missions you have obtained the 10k, you can look in career stats. Below is a breakdown of the points.
- Kill: 10
- Melee Kill: 100
- Headshot: 50
- Kill by Explosion: 150
- Vehicle or Robot Kill: 150
- Stun: 250
- Difficulty Levels: 5,000 Increase per Difficulty.
- Challenges: 2,000
While playing through on Veteran difficulty, you will very likely triple or more most of scores for each level. This seems daunting at first, but it's extremely easy.
