How to unlock the One Giant Leap achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops - Definitive Guide
Step 1: Play through the rounds as you would normally, the best place to camp would be in the dome (easy circling spots). Keep fighting through the waves until the woman's voice says breach in tunnel 11 and tunnel 6. Let the excavators breach the tunnel.
Step 2: When the second excavator is on its way the people who want there achievement make there way to one side of the map before tunnels 6 and 11 are blocked off by the excavators. But keep one crawler alive in that round and make sure the crawler is with the person who isn't getting the achievement as they will be on the opposite side of the map to the rest of players.
Step 3: Make sure both tunnels are definitely blocked off then the players who want the achievement cook a grenade and down yourselves, allow yourselves to bleed out.
Step 4: When there is only 1 player left (the guy with the crawler) kill the crawler to complete the round.
When the 3 players who died come back there achievement will pop.
**It doesn't seem to matter which side each set of players are on but just to be safe the people getting the achievement in my game were on the side of the map where quick revive is.**
There are a couple ways to do this.
1. (recommended) Someone someone has to get a girsh device and wait until both tunnels have the "escavator" in them (chambers 6 and 11, not the biodome). Then, make a crawler at the end of a round. Everyone should use the teleporter (the teleporter is at the end of the level, when the paths splits between biodome and outside, you choose outside and go to your right). When everyone has come back to the moon, have the person with the girsh device throw it and whoever will not get the achievement (only three can get it at once) will go through it. The others will down themselves by running through the saw or cooking a grenade until it blows up. When everyone has finished bleeding out, the person who went through the girsh device will kill the crawler and the other players will get the achievement. If you wish, the person who didn't get the achievement can get it next round (presuming they were the one with the girsh device).
2. This requires that you to run to the initial spawn point when you hear the announcement of the second "escavator" going to crush the second passage way. The three people have to sprint through the last chamber before the saw breaches it to become trapped (remember, one must stay behind). Once it closes, they kill themselves and the other player just needs to survive the round. This is harder than the first method, and not recommended.
The crushers come down after a certain amount of time. The order they come down and how long it takes them to activate is completely random. You could have the two crushers down minutes after activating the power or the first come in three hours (remember these are extremes, however, theoreticly possible). I would recommend not hacking any of the crushers, including the cosmodome one. If it is the cosmodome one, at least it won't come down again if you don't hack it, therefore increasing your odds of getting the chamber 6 and 11 ones.
I believe it is possible on splitscreen co-op, but it is more difficult.
Please leave comments on how I can improve my solution. I am always open to suggestions.
The idle controller is the one that will get the achievement, while the secondary is the one you will play mostly with.
-On earth, leave the idle controller to bleed out completely. Run circles and get $2,500 at least with the secondary by running circles. Then, head up to the moon.
-Get the secondary controller to turn on the power at round 1 and play as normal.
-Make the idle controller (The one that wants to get achievement) to remain at the spawn area at all times. Of course, it will be killed at the beginning of each round. For this, the secondary controller needs to go to the spawn area and kill the last zombie there by the end of each round. This way, the idle controller will always respawn at the main room.
-Wait until tunnels 6 and 11 are breached, then at the beginning of the next round, the achievement will pop.
Keep in mind that quick revive will not work. Try to get juggernaut ASAP.
I got all three excavators by round 12.
I admit i was skeptical if split screen was going to work out. But now I'm so mad I didn't try it sooner. Upvoted
Both of the other guides for these achievements are semi correct but not fully correct, they do work but there is an easier way of getting the achievement. When playing a game with a friend awhile back I remember him dying and getting the achievement when respawning but neither 6 nor 11 currently had the drill in it. I started to think there was more than one way to unlock this achievement and today I finally came across the answer.
1. For this achievement you need the drill to breach Tunnel 6 and 11 but YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP THEM THERE. Once one has breached simply go and hack the controls to have them lifted. After both 11 and 6 have been breached and have been lifted the achievement can be unlocked by 1,2 or 3 players out of 4 but I recommend only 1 out of 4 get it first off as this will increase the chance of the other three getting the achievement. (WILL EXPLAIN WHY IT IS BETTER IN A SEC)
(BEFORE MOVING ON TO NEXT STEP MAKE SURE 6 and 11 HAVE BREACHED AND ARE LIFTED)
2. Make a crawler at the end of a round and the person going for the achievement head to the area where Quick Revive is and once there blow out the windows with grenades and suffocate(I recommend that the first one to do this should be the one with the worst guns and perks).
3. While the others are suffocating the 3 people that are not getting the achievement should stay with the crawler at the crater where Mule Kick is until the other guy dies, once he is dead start a new round by killing the crawler.
4. Once the player is brought back to life he should have the achievement but now the other need it too so have him run back to the crater as soon as he spawns and pick up an AK-47U off the wall.
5. By having only one person get the achievement the first time you have 3 people with perks and good guns to finish off the majority of the zombies during the current round (THIS IS WHY 1 IS BETTER THEN 2 OR 3 DYING THE FIRST TIME) while the person who only has the AK-47U can relax a little bit behind every one, BUT MAKE SURE HE DOES NOT DIE!!!!
6. Once the zombies start to thin out make another crawler but this time have the person who got the achievement stay with the zombie while the others go to Quick Revive to kill themselves and once they are all dead have the one player alive kill the remaining crawler and all the other players should get the achievement too without ever having to start another game!
NOTE: This is the exact way I did it but you may be able to do somethings different such as killing yourself with a grenade instead of Suffocating or diving off the map. In the comments on the other guides The Skullmasher posted this:
You don't actually have to have either excavator going to get this achievement. Just dive off of the cliff at the spawn area, and when your friend kills the last zombie (Preferably in the bio-dome) you will respawn, and the achievement will pop.

He forgot to put in some of the details such as letting the drills breach but he may still be right that you can get it by diving off the map… If anyone would like to try the above method and then risk the grenade or dive I can update this guide and give you credit.
When the 2nd digger comes through make sure you get through to where quick revive is at,
an whoever isnt getting it has to stay behind the digger for example at the dome ...
now get a crawler (guy thats not getting achievement)
when all zombies are dead except crawler!
the people at the start (quick revive) down yourself and bleed out so you start spectating whoevers alive
now the one thats still alive kills the crawler he made earlier an you all spawn an bang achievement!
and make sure both of the big diggers are digging though theres one on the left and one on the right ! good luck
You can get the achievement even after you hacked the Excavators!
This happend to me a few minutes ago.
I was rushing to the receiving area and PI was ready to hit and blocked tunnel 6 after i was in the receiving area, so i hacked them both away and then died.
I was respawned and it popped.
1) turn power on by round 1 latest; force excavators to breach asap - hopefully by round 3.
2) open up all doors by round 2 latest (split the hacker with everyone and open up doors into bio dome, back of bio dome and outside to mule kick). One of the group needs to open up the tunnel 11 door next to m14 for 750 then hack doors leading up to power room - 3 doors at 200 pts each.
3) if bio dome breaches, put helmet on and let it breach, train zombies in dome. Leave crawlers if needed if you wanna buy guns/go back to earth for jugg/speed/PAP.
4) once the voice mentions either tunnel 6/11 breaches - let it, play through the rounds as normal.
5) as soon as the other tunnel breaches, wait until the voice says there are 60 seconds left then the guys who need achievement need to head toward teleport pad at the back of the bio dome (one guy needs to stay back in the bio dome to train zombies) and drop through the gap into pyramid room. Head toward the simon says computers and hold off zombies.
6) as soon as the achievement people get there, check the tunnel 6 and 11 to see the saw blade cutting - once this is confirmed, dive off the ledge next to the simon says computers.
7) once everyone is spectating the person in the dome, that person will rape the remaining zombies to finish the round. When the next round starts everyone going for the achievement will receive the 5g message on the top-right hand corner of the screen.
I did this with a few guys by round 13. The person training zombies in the bio dome needs to have jugg and atleast a decent assault rifle/lmg or wonder weapon (ray/wave gun). Gersche devices are good if you need to clear a path toward the simon says computers.
Starting off - You start in Area 51. Knife some zombies here until the teleporter gate raises. Soon after that the zombies get faster and tougher. You will want to leave Area 51 at that time unless you are very confident at running circles here.
Moon Strategy - Once you are on the moon, grab your mask and put it on. Spend the first 2 rounds in the starting room with quick revive and use the pistol / knife to maximize your points. At the end of round 3 head to the power room and turn on the power. If the box is here, hit it and hope for a good weapon. You may choose to buy a weapon off the wall instead to be sure. Leave a zombie or crawler a the end of round 4 and have one player lead him around the pyramid while the other player(s) hack the doors to the biodome and moon. Hit the box and get a decent weapon.
From here on out it's down to luck & skill at the same time. In each round, run circles in biodome / moon until the PA system announces that an excavator will breach. It will breach either Tunnel 6, Tunnel 11 or biodome. You need it to breach tunnel 6 and 11 to get the achievement.
Once Tunnel 6 or 11 has been breached you are half way there. Continue to run circles until you hear that the OTHER tunnel is about to be breached. Decimate the zombies in that round until it announces that there is 60 seconds until depressurization. At that time, the person getting the achievement first should run back to the starting area where the quick revive machine is. Remain here while the other players keeps the zombies around. When you are SURE both tunnels are breached, cook a grenade and bleed out. When you are dead, have the other player kill the remaining zombies to start a new round. BLIP - Achievement unlocked. Now to reciprocate:
Grab a weapon if you can and head back to the biodome with the other player. Again, run circles and decimate the zombies until there are 1 or 2 left as crawlers. At this point, the other player should find the astronaut and get teleported by him (simply walk into his range and he will grab you). Keep getting teleported until he teleports you into the starting area or in one of the tunnels on the other side of the excavators. Cook a grenade and die. Then have the other player kill the remaining zombies. The achievement is yours!
Notes:
- It is best to have Juggernaut. Jug is located in Area 51 and costs 2500. The game cycles Jug and Speed Cola on each trip you take to area 51.
- A Ray gun, and preferably a PaP ray gun is best for later rounds. The PaP machine is in Area 51 and costs 5000 points. Best to have a gersch device here to toss while you pack a punch. This will buy you some time.
- The person who gets left behind first while the other players net the achievement should have the best loadout and most ammo, as they will have to support the others in the next round before he gets to go to the receiving area.
- If biodome breaches, just leave it. It might make running circles a little harder due to no gravity, but not that much. It just means you'll have to go further into the game to get the achievement.
- The first group to get the achievement should include EVERYONE but the guy watching the zombies.
Good luck!
Basically, what needs to happen is that the excavators of tunnel 6 & 11 both need to drill into their tunnels. When they're both in the tunnels, one player (the player that wants the trophy) needs to be in the starting room (where ths quick revive soda is), and the other player needs to be on the other side of the drills, for instance next to the pyramid, or in the Dome.
Once the excavators are both down, the player by the revive soda can't get to the location of the other player, since both routes are blocked. He is now 'trapped' in the receiving area.
The resurrection Treyarch is talking about is simply dying and respawning the next round. So when the round is nearly finished, the player in the starting area kills himself (Treyarch wants you to kill yourself by jumping down the cliff, hence the name of the trophy. This is not necessary however), and the other player kills the remaining zombies and ends the round.
Then, when the new round begins and the first player respawns, he will get the trophy.
*Edit 26/11/2015*
When someone gets the trophy, the oh-so awesome song 'Nightmare' by Avenged Sevenfold will start to play. (It will be audible for everyone) Even if you do the proces for this trophy multiple times in one game, the song will only play once.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCNNPGaSXwg
First of all "resurrection" is just the process of someone bleeding out and respawning.
Now to be trapped in the receiving area, both of the excavators must trigger and succeed, blocking off both tunnels and cutting off access to the power room.
When you hear the announcement of your last tunnel being breached, have the person not wanting the achievement go to the Labs half of the map.
Once at least one player is "trapped" on the Labs half of the map, with a crawler, ALL other players must down themselves and bleed out. (Jumping off the cliff is a fun option)
Once all other players are dead, the player on the Labs half of the map may kill the crawler and the other players will "resurrect" near you and they will unlock the achievement.
Also once a player unlocks this achievement, the son Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold will start to play. Like all other songs it will only play once per game.
**The excavators blocking the tunnels is completely random. As long as the power is turned on an excavator might begin drilling a tunnel. You will know when this happens because a voice will play saying an excavator is drilling tunnel 6, etc.**
Important: This achievement is slightly buggy. Some people are having it unlock randomly when respawning, with no tunnels breached. DO NOT LISTEN to these strategies. Follow the one in the guide to have it flawlessly unlock. Attempting these glitched stragities will cause you to mess up. BOTH tunnels must be breached.
