Call of Duty: Ghosts

For this achievement you must shoot all 4 hive locations located in the 4 new multiplayer maps that are a part of the Onslaught DLC. You can quit the game once you shoot the hive and the notice pops up. These MUST be done in public matches.


[0:06] - Ignition
This hive is located underground near the middle of the map. You have to find the container that leads into a small underground hallway. In this hallway, you'll find a hive on the wall.

[0:29] - Fog
Use the in-game mini-map for this. First, you'll want to make your way to the middle of the map, inside the cave system marked light blue on the mini-map. Inside the cave system, there will be a waterfall, marked by a dark blue circle on your map. Go up to the waterfall, aim inside to find the hive.

[0:55] - Bayview
Make your way to the side of the map with the lighthouse. Looking at the lighthouse, follow the boardwalk to the left, and aim off the side to find the hive under the pier across the water. You may need a long distance weapon for this hive.

[1:15] - Containment
On one side of the long street that runs through the entire map, you will find a gas station that is identified with a large circular sign. Jump onto the green dumpster in front of the gas station, aim across the street and to the left. You will find the hive on the roof of the small building next to the large green building.

After completing all 4 of these hives, you will need to go into an extinction game of Nightfalland then destroy a hive using the drill to unlock the achievement.

If you're like me and can't seem to get the maps to pop up in public playlists here is a simple way to get this achievement in about 10 minutes.

Step by step. From the menu. PICK-
SQUADS
XBOX LIVE SQUADS
WARGAME
WARGAME-RECRUIT
pick PLAY NOW

Once you pick play now it will start a countdown to start a game with you vs bots.
The map will be shown in the background and in the bottom left the map name will be displayed.
press B then A again to keep restarting the countdown until the maps you need pop up. Once you see the map you need let the game start go shoot the egg, and you will notice under the minimap it will track them. No need to play with others in public or wait for the maps to show up.
Repeat for the other maps

Then go into an extinction game on Nightfall Xbox live, solo and destroy the first hive. Achievement unlocked.

For this achievement, you must locate and shoot four alien hives (one for each Onslaught DLC multiplayer map) in public Multiplayer. You will know you have achieved one when a challenge counter appears on your screen.

The locations for the hives are as follows:

Ignition - In the underground section, you will see the hive on the wall. Underground is accessible by going through the broken plane shell and down the ramp. Alternatively there is a bunker type entrance near the 'Federation' spawn directly underneath the giant digital countdown clock. Run down the steps and to the right and the hive is on the wall.

BayView - Just outside the map underneath the pier. Go to the bottom right corner of the of the map and look straight across. (On the minimap you should be standing by the three diagonal lines, just off to the right of the tram tracks) You'll just see the hive hanging from the bottom of the pier.

Containment: Just outside the map. Go to the most northern point of the map, at the very top. Just off to the right on top of the white building that has barred windows. Climb on top of the green dumpster for a better shot.

Fog: In the cave at the centre of the map. You'll see a waterfall (a dark blue circle on the minimap) Look slightly down and to the left of the water and you'll see the hive through some foliage.

When you have shot all four go to Extinction mode and load Nightfall. Play until you've destroyed an alien hive. Upon doing this you'll get your achievement and 10,000 XP for your Extinction character.

Thanks to 'Th3 Replicant' and 'PuRe Pretzel' for confirming that you can actually earn this on multiple consoles. If you've already earned this on the 360 you can also earn it on the One by destroying a hive in Extinction. The eggs in the multiplayer maps won't register, however destroying a hive in Extinction will. This can also be done the other way around.

If there's something that you feel needs changing in this guide please let me know and I'll change it. If anyone would like any help, again please let me know and I'll do all that I can to help.

I would ask that if you vote negatively, would you kindly take the time to state as to why. I appreciate feedback of all kinds as it helps me to write better, more coherent guides.

Many Thanks. Happy Gaming!
