How to unlock the Sprinter achievement in Call of Duty: Ghosts - Definitive Guide
Description - Escape with 1 minute and 30 seconds or more remaining on the clock.
Fairly easy achievement once you finish destroying all the hives you are tasked with arming a nuke and making your way all the way back to the start.
Easiest setup -
Tank - all
Explosive rounds - All players
Armor - 3 Players / Feral instinct - 1 player
Shield/Death machine - Any
Sentry gun - All Players
Pistol - Which ever you like the most
What you want to do is upgrade sentry, pistol, armor/feral instinct fully and use the rest of the points or if any left over on tank for extra health. Sentrys will make holding off enemy easier with all four players using them. Fully upgraded pistol will allow you to move faster while running, and finally feral instinct will allow you to move faster as well as obtain a small health regen boost.
There are a total of two barricades that take a total of 20 seconds a piece to disappear. You will be tasked with holding out against at least two rhinos and plenty of everything else at each one. At each barricade each player should drop sentrys , armor, as well as feral instinct this will make it a lot easier to survive and move on to the next one. You have a around 4 minutes to get to the escape helicopter if done correctly you can make it at around 2 minutes.
1 medic. max class, max sentry, level 2 pistol, max reg ammo
1 engineer max armor, max feral, level 2 pistol, max class, max sentry
2 tanks
1st. max armor piercing ammo, max sentry, level 2 pistol
2nd. max sentry, max booster, level 2 pistol, max class
Whatever skill points are left over keep putting them in each skill. Just concentrate at sentry guns, ammo, armor, class and riot shields are useful if you have it equipped to protect your back.
first hive is either going to be take no damage or mêlée only. Search area before planting you'll find two pickups, hopefully one is a flare. Keep working on the hives n challenges. Dont buy any weapons unless its a weapon challenge then just two of you buy that gun. Now after you destroy four hives, counting the one by helicopter, you'll have the big hive that the copter shoots at. Gather all propane tanks, throw them on the hive. Place 2-3 sentry guns facing away from hive. Wait till the health meter shows up and if anyone has a soflam call them in. With the armor piercing ammo start shooting hive. After its destroyed you'll see a money box where you'll get $3000. Since you can only carry $6k max, if you have over $3k drop ammo, armor, etc to $3k before u pick up money.
the town is the same thing. 3 hives then mother hive. I'd recommend buying the M27 LMG. its located by first hive on street on wooden platform. Keep completing challenges. Always remember to keep ammo, armor, some boosters deployed at all times. For mother hive have 3-5 sentry guns by hive facing away. Arm 3 electric fences. Everyone shoot at hive. Wont take long to destroy this way.
Working your way to the cabin you might run across two rhinos. DO NOT shoot, they will go away if you leave them alone and dont get to close. In this area its very vital to set your sentrys, armor, ammo before planting bomb. First hive you'll have a rhino spawn about 50% thru drilling. Take him out quick. There are three hives total before crater. Two on ground, one in barn. Put sentry guns in each corner of barn.
once on crater there are two hives. On the second it is very critical that all sentry guns are deployed with overlapping fields of fire. Ammo, armor, boosters need to be deployed always. Congrats you just destroyed them all, now comes the fun part.
BEFORE you arm the nuke. Everyone go to the cabin area. If you still have sentry guns out, bring them. At the cabin along the path, where theres an overhead wooden bridge, drop a sentry gun facing crater. Move down the road back to town. Before you reach the town there is that alley that goes from town to cabin. There will be a meteor that blocks you're path for 30 seconds. Deploy three sentry guns here facing towards cabin. Now move thru town. Where the road curves to take you back to motel area, drop another sentry gun by guard rails facing towards town. Now everyone run back to nuke. Make sure everyone has their pistols out. Deploy feral booster, grab it. Arm nuke then run, run, run. DO NOT bother shooting anything till you get to first meteor. Switch to main guns. Take out the two tanks quickly, and any other creatures. Deploy boosters n armor. As soon as meteor is gone, switch to pistol n run. When you get to next meteor drop two more sentrys facing town, three facing meteor. Switch to guns and kill both tanks. Deploy armor, feral booster. Switch to pistols and do some more running to extract. You should make it with 1:30-1:45 left on clock.

After you have destroyed all of the hives with the drill and reached the end of the map, everyone you are playing with will have to hold to call in a nuke. You then have to run back to the chopper at the beginning. You are given 4 minutes to reach the chopper which means you will have to get back in 2 and a half minutes to unlock this achievement. This achievement will be easier the higher level you are because you will have a better loadout and can use more powerful bullets.
Recommended Loadout:
- Tank
- MP443 Grach
- Armor Piercing Ammo
- Armor
- Sentry Gun
There are a few tips to help you:
- Use Medic class, and full upgrade that skill before the end of the map
- Run with the pistol as it allows you to sprint faster
- Ensure health and armour are full before setting off the nuke
- Don't stop running, at any point
- Know the quickest route back to the chopper, and circle areas while waiting for the meteors to pass.
After you destroy the final hive in the Cabin area, you will all have to go to the marker on the map and press to arm the nuke. You then have 4 minutes to run all the way back to where you arrived on the helicopter. This final push is a real struggle as there are loads rhinos and scorpions chasing after you. I highly advise choosing the medic class and then upgrading the speed all the way up. Without this you are definitely going to die on the way back just because of all the enemies that can run faster than the other classes. If you reach the helicopter with over 1:30 left you will unlock the trophy. See No Man Left for a video on the best route to take in order to escape quickly.
