How to unlock the Any Means necessary achievement in Call of Duty: Ghosts - Definitive Guide
Me and my brother found a easy way, after you get past the first hive and open to the electric fences you will have to drill one more hive then give it a minute or 2 and the aliens should start spawning again. Keep running them around and jumping over the fence panel on the floor. After just a couple of minutes the achievement should pop.
I did this with a coop partner which made it much easier as he could revive me if and when I went down.
Make sure you are in a lobby with 2 or 3 other people that somewhat know what they are doing.
First Area
When you are taking out the hive by the Motel use the electric traps in that area, they're easy to find. You should be able to get a few kills here. If you get a hive that's on or near the road you can use those again. When you get to the "Mother Hive" there is a fire trap just past the Motel sign on the left when looking at the hive. Don't use this trap right away wait till about halfway through. Otherwise you won't get many kills and you'll just be wasting your money. You probably won't get a whole lot of kills but it helps.
Second Area
The next time to use the traps is when you get to the hive on the left after entering this area, but only use the Electric trap that goes to the "Mother Hive" area, in between the 2 buildings. Most of the enemies don't come from the right where the Fire trap is, so it's pretty useless to use, but you can if you want. Now the next traps to use are the 2 that are at the short walls in the middle of the "Mother Hive" area. You should be able to use these traps 2-3 times and you should get a huge junk of the kills here. Just make sure you use your money wisely so you can use them multiple times, not very difficult to do. Stay alive and you should get this about half way through taking out the "Mother Hive" if not before.
If you don't get it here and you make it to the third area then you're on your own. I have never gotten to the third area.
Also in the final section, traps are a bit more scarce as well as the enemies are much stronger, so getting trap kills in the last area is much tougher. This, like the Scavenger trophy is best done with only one person in the group attempting it in a run, but as long as you arm traps as soon as the drill starts, you shouldn't have much trouble with this.
While playing the game you will notice two sorts of traps spread about the place. The electric fence, electrifies a fence nearby and when aliens try to climb it they will die. This particular trap costs $500 to use. The fire trap is represented by a barrel and it costs $750 to use. What it does is create a wall of fire so any alien trying to run through it will immediately get set on fire and eventually die. Simply kill 50 in a game to unlock this.
Electric Fences and Fire Traps are available in all 3 areas. Electric fences are activated using small batteries located on the ground, and will cost $500 each. Fire traps are activated using large oil barrels, and will cost $1,000 each. Players should take turns getting this achievement, and it is advised that you try to complete the achievement as quickly as possible as the third area is the most difficult to get these kills.
If you activate these traps, the enemies will run into them as long as the trap is somewhere on the way to the hive that is being drilled. Not all enemies will die from the traps though, so you can use your pistol to shoot them once to weaken them before they touch the traps to get more kills.
The locations of the traps are as follows:
Area 1:
- Electric Fence 1 & 2: Located on the outside of the motel parking lot
- Fire Trap 1: Located at the top of the hill, only useful during the chopper section.
Area 2:
- Fire Trap 1: Located as soon as you enter the city area, at the opening of the alley to the left
- Electric Fence 1: Down the main alley where you will spot a battery with some exposed wires next to a puddle. This is the best trap in the entire area.
- Electric Fence 2 & 3: In the main area of the city, next to the road, there are two short brick walls that can be activated
- Fire Trap 2: On the main street, to the left side when facing the main hive.
- Electric Trap 4: On the main street, all the way to the very right when facing the main hive, hooked up to a fence
Area 3:
- Fire Trap 1: After going under the bridge, there will be a barrel next to the building
- Electric Fence 1: After going under the bridge, go forward, up the stairs to the left, and turn right at the top.
- Electric Fence 2: At the bottom of the hill, to the left of the hive.
- Electric Fence 3: At the bottom of the hill, follow the fence near the hive to the right hand side.
- Electric Fence 4: Near the previous fence.
- Electric Fence 5: Find this one next to the turret and sandbags, hanging from a post.
As soon as you get your 50th kill using traps, the achievement will unlock.

We turn on both fences and move towards the central passage, between them. If your comrades help, they will also stand behind the fence. All the aliens run towards you and burn on the fence. Individuals who respawn on the other side are simply shot.
The main condition is that you must activate the fence.
