How to unlock the Double Whammy achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops - Definitive Guide

Mission: REDEMPTION

(when you have the valkyrie missile launcher)

-put the difficulty on recruit
-wait till the choppers are very close together (if you keep moving in small circles they won't be able to kill you on recruit)
-then fire your missile and hit 'right trigger' as soon as you are between the choppers to manually detonate it!

The biggest advantage is that you won't have to reload the checkpoint everytime, because now you either destory both choppers and thus unlock the achievement or you destroy none of them in wich case you can try again right away.

You wouldn't believe how many times I tried to make one chopper hit the other!! Aiming between them worked perfectly, and I got it on my second try. Thanks for the tip.

let me add this to the help, if the choppers are taking too long to get close to each other try throwing a frag granade at one of the choppers and it will usually hoover close to the other chopper so you can quickly disperse your rocket and hit RT when the rocket is right between the both of them. In my case this worked for me on my second try considering that on my first try I threw the grenade and seen how the chopper reacted. hope this helps a bit.

I got this in less than a minute on my first attempt! While I didn't get what you were saying at first (to trigger the explosion of the rocket), it's very simple!

If you only manage to get one, cook a grenade and let it explode in your hand. That'll restart you just before picking up the launcher and give you another chance. Took me 4-5 tries to get this.

Also, it doesn't have to be your first rocket. If you miss both helis you can keep trying.

You should just use the text of the other solution and give them credit.

I found that hiding in the more northern container caused the two helicopters to stay in close proximity just overhead, making the kill shot easy.

ResDogsMrPink you need to make your own solution, I tried about 25 times with no luck, once I tried what you suggested I got it first try.

Got this on my 1st try. Very easy to do, I didn't even view the video, simply get the launcher and run back to near the beginning of the level and hide (I hid behind a crate behind a wall by the fallen crane and waited for them to get a close proximity with each other. Then FIRE... make sure you detonate the rocket by pressing the R TRIGGER once it gets past the first copters tail and BAAAANNNG!!! Theres your cheevy! ;)

I agree with Retro on ResDogs helpful tip. If anything it should at least be added to the existing one.

Really easy to unlock, get the launcher and goto the rear of the boat, take cover while you wait for the 2 choppers to come close to one another, then fire the valkyrie either between rotor blades making sure you hit the blades of one of the choppers or fire at the tail rotor of the chopper infront, this will cause the chopper to spin and take out the other chopper..

@ Gamingspirit360: Well I'm not going to lie and say it was hard when really it was easy, I've been a gamer involved in the gaming industry since the ZX81 first came out and I think my judgement at whether something is easy or hard is ok.. I done this cheevo on Veteran and I got it on the first attempt, For some reason In veteran those helo's hardly fired at me, and when they did they were random shots.. If an achievement is easy to do then I will continue to say so...

Getting the achievement isnt that bad it seems its getting the 2 choppers to fly close together is whats getting to me. i havent got it yet mainly because I cant seem to get them to fly close. Otherwise it isnt that bad it seems.

Try it on easy, we've had loads of members say that on easy the choppers tend to fly closer together more often..
Good luck and Happy Xmas!!

If you watch my video below I think it will be much easier for you to get this acthievement.... the only thing you have to do after picking up he valkirie rocket launcher is to go back to the beginning of the mission where you got off the chopper first place (doing it on recruit difficulty the choppers won't kill you) stand right in the middle and wait for the choppers to get closer to each other (just like the video shows)... aim for the tail of the first one and you will get both of them... easy as that..... in my video I speak Portuguese but you'll be able to clearly see what you have to do to get this achievement - there is no big deal at all...

This is on the last mission 'Redemption'. Fight through the helicopter scene until you land on the ship. Then you will fight a few guys until you come up on the Valkyrie rockets as 2 helicopters take off and hover around you. Just hide until both helicopters are right next to each other then fire! Aim for the part on one of the helicopters that is closest to the other. It sounds complicated but it will make more sense when you do it.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Since no one has mentioned that u can manually detonate the Valkyrie mid flight by hitting Rt I'm posting this. Just wait for the choppers to cross paths (and they always do) when they stop fire in between them and manually detonate. Easy

I have just unlocked the achievement. after several tries (on veteran) I found a great spot. this is the very container you are leaving while retrying the checkpoint just before having to chop down two helis.
I just ran forth to grab the Valkyrie Launcher and back to the container and to its back entrance. standing in this entrance the helis are always close to each other due to the only clear way they can aim at you. this way it is really easy to take both of them down with just one missile. I did this on my second try.

Mission #15: "Redemption"

Spiderbite from NextGenTactics show you exactly how to unlock this achievement and where to do this on the level "Redemption". Having trouble just watch the video and follow do what it says and then you will get the achievement as well.

Just few more tips :

- I found that the best area to unlock this achievement seems to be the back of the ship, where your chopper just crashed few seconds ago.
- Of course, do this on recruit, and move in small circles.
- It seems easier to destroy both helicopters when one is in front of the other, just detonate your rocket when you're in front of the second chopper and you're done.
This achievement is based on luck, so you will certainly need more than one try. Be patient, and you will unlock it.
Good luck !

Tried a few different areas on the ship but what worked for me was at the rear of the ship, on the left hand side between the fallen crane and an open silver pipe. It seems to keep the choppers closer together and they don't get stuck behind anything.

Just be patient, if the difficulty is recruit then you don't have to avoid their shots much, just take your time. It'll take a few attempts and a bit of luck!

This is gonna take a few tries. You have to manually detonate the rocket by pressing RT as soon as it gets between both helicopters. If you only take out one, blow yourself up, and retry.

Just wait until the two helis are as close as possible to each other, then fire the Valkyrie (R1), wait until the rocket is between them and hit R1 to detonate the rocket.

If you fail and destroyed no heli: Try again!
If you fail and destroyed only one heli: Grenade on the floor, stand in it, die and try again from checkpoint!
If you succeed and destroyed both: Well done! Trophy will pop!

In Mission 15: Redemption, while on the ship, you’ll be asked to pickup a Valkyrie Rocket at one point. Hold to aim, to shoot and you’ll enter guide mode. Guide the rocket with , to boost its speed and to detonate in mid-air. Wait for the choppers to hover in close proximity then shoot and detonate the missile in between them. You won’t always get both choppers together on your first try like in the video, but taking up that position does seem to help a little.

In the level "Redemption", during the objective to destroy the helicopters with the Valkyrie Rocket Launcher, you have to wait until the two helicopters converge near each other and then fire the rocket. You want to aim between the two and then detonate the rocket by holding down . If you are playing on a higher difficulty, you may have to run for cover inside an alcove. You can determine where the two helicopters are by the yellow markers on your HUD/screen.

In the last mission, we are tasked with destroying two helicopters with one missile when we go out onto the deck of the ship. In general, launch a rocket when 2 helicopters are close to each other, if it doesn’t work, shoot at yourself. Watch the video:
