How to unlock the Trapped in Time achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Definitive Guide

There are 3 traps.

1) Acid at Cafeteria. To use this you just need the 1000 bucks to open the door.
2) Blades at Warden's Office. Need to afterlife in and then just activate.
3) Tower at Docks. You need to activate the trap, then go into afterlife and blast the tower to transform it. This is the one and only upgrade.

ok, finally worked this out. Did the blades and acid first then waited till round 6 to earn cash and kill Brutus.Then used lift to docks and activated tower. Shocked the shit outa of it in afterlife and it didn't change from sniper to rockets. Started round 7 and immediately activate trap and upgrade it and this time it worked. Could clearly see eplosions when I revived myself.

In order to get this achievement you must turn on all 3 traps and upgrade the tower trap before round 10. The traps can found in theses locations:

Cafeteria Enterance (Acid trap): This is the acid trap, you must open the gates that go into the Cateteria in order to use this one.

Warden's Office (Blades trap): This is the spinning blades trap, to open this you need to enter Afterlife and jump into the hole on the fence above the Warden's Office door. Take a right and go through another hole in the wall, walk down the stairs and strike the power switch with your lightning. Once the door is open you can purchase the trap.

Docks (Tower trap): This one is located near the boat and Mystery box. You need to first enable the trap using the switch at the base of the tower and then use your Afterlife on the power switch just above where you turned the trap on.The nearest Afterlife is located across from the tower in the fenced off area, you will need the Warden's key to open the fence. After using your afterlife on the tower make sure that the Tower is now firing explosive bullets, it won't be hard to tell if they are.

So do they all have to be going at the same time or just use each one and upgrade tower before round 10?

They don't have to all be running at the same time, you just need to have used each one once.

Achievement is glitched by the way. I personally turned all traps on myself and upgraded the tower myself at round 8 and it didn't pop.
I also got kills with all 3 traps. Tower trap got kills in both upgraded and un-upgraded form.

@Ultimationer Good point about the mortars, I'll add that to the guide.

@Ultimationer yes it had them. the whole lobby was pissed because no one left the game, we spent all our effort towards this one achievement, and then used all traps but no achievement.

i will make note of the fact that we ended up activating the tower trap twice. the first time was when it was the sniper tower and we let it time out. the second time we upgraded it to the mortar tower and let it time out.
We also got kills with all of the traps, and i personally watched all traps as i activated them myself.

Like the solution said, you only have to upgrade the tower. I explained how to upgrade the tower in the docks trap section.

@Oni no Tenshu Did you do it in single player or co-op? I have only done this achievement in co-op myself, if you did it in single player connect a second controller and try again. If you played in co-op then try single player.

Let me know the outcome so I can improve my guide.

@Oni no Tenshu Hey did you make sure you got mortars? I was shocking it and realized after a couple of games it requires a lot of shocks. Finally got this on my second attempt on solo after shocking the shit out of it and it turned into mortars. I also had to go into afterlife 2 times. Otherwise it has glitched for you and you'd probably be better of doing it with at least someone else. Hope this helps and I can confirm this works solo as I got it just before posting this.

Here is my guide from my channel, Toslow Gaming. In total, it will cost you 8,750 points to buy necessary doors and traps. It will cost at least 3 afterlives to complete this as well. Your first trap would be either the Fan trap or Acid trap. Head over to the cafeteria to start up the acid trap. It will cost 2000 points total from there. After that, head over to the Warden's Office to start the Fan trap. It will cost 2000 to get there and starting the trap. Finally, you want to head torwards the sniper tower. It will cost 3750 fro the library to the trap. Once you purchase it, go into afterlife and upgrade the tower. Make sure you put HD.

There are a total of three traps around the map. Only one of them can be upgraded. 
Here are the traps. All of them cost 1000 points to use.

  • Acid Trap - Cell Blocks
  • Fan Trap - Entrance to the Warden's Office
  • Sniper Trap (Upgradable) - Found on the docks at the lighthouse

You need to first power on the Sniper Trap then go into the afterlife and shock the power box. It will upgrade it from a sniper to an RPG. The achievement will then unlock.

There are 3 variations of traps, while only 1 can be upgraded. These are:

  • Acid Trap (cafeteria)
  • Fan trap (wardens office)
  • Sniper Trap (can be upgraded, docks)


All of these cost 1000 points each to use. To upgrade the sniper tower, you'll need to turn it on first, then down yourself into afterlife. A little door will open at the base of the tower, revealing a switch you can shoot. Jump onto the base, then shoot it with electricity, successfully upgrading the tower. If you focus all your points into getting to these traps and using them, you'll easily get enough to use them all in time.

One player must launch and improve all the traps in the game, there are 3 in total!
You can only improve the observation tower; immediately after turning it on, you need to get into another world (become a ghost) and improve it using the switch that opens when you turn on the trap!

There are only 3 traps. You only need to improve one of them. This is done quite easily. We go down on the gondola and activate the tower. Then we go to the electricity panel and enter the afterlife.
After this, we return to the tower and activate it using a current. After this, you need to activate the two remaining traps once each and the achievement is yours!
