How to unlock the Completionist achievement in Call of Duty: Ghosts - Definitive Guide

How to make this Achievement Extremely easy and to kill two birds with one Stone is to play until your first prestige so you can go for the Relic Achievement as well.

**You must complete all of the challenges in a single game AND escape in order for the achievement to unlock**

You'll want to play with the relic pistols only and play in a solo match by yourself.

My Setup.

Class: Medic (because the 4th upgrade stops ongoing damage from scorpion gas clouds)
Pistol: MP-443 Grach Pistol
Ammo: Explosive ( It works best against all types of enemies)
Support: Armor
Strike: Sentry
Equilizer: Riot Shield

The benefit of playing by yourself with a relic on is that you won't get the challenges for killing enemies with a certain type of weapon.

Now here are my tips.

1. Search the first area until you find a flare, because when the challenge comes up for finding the leaper and killing him within 30 seconds, the flare makes this one a joke.

2. Upgrade your turret slot all the way, and then the pistol all the way, and then do your medic class until the 4th slot so you don't take ongoing damage from gas clouds.

3. Turrets Turrets Turrets! these guys are your best friends and your primary goal should be to protect them and keep them alive.

I got this Achievement on my first try using this method playing by myself! I hope this helps,

I just tried this with two other people using this exact guide and we kept getting weapon challenges does this have to be on solo for you to not get weapon challenges?

@justanothrmaori you would think but it really isn't hard at all. They give you easy challenges the whole way through which often repeat themselves.

i'd just like to clarify that this achievement refers to completing all of the challenges in a given match, not having completed every single one across multiple games. maybe it's clear to everyone else but this was a big point of confusion for my friend and me

I'm thinking about trying to play as a weapon specialist instead of a medic, so I can do more damage and reload quicker, aim quicker and all that. Problem is: It will be a pain to survive the Scorpions on the last hole, because they always camp behind you shooting from above. Add the nerfed turrets to that and it's looking like a really hard hole now to survive. :(

UPDATE: I managed to escape in solo, using the pistol only relic, unfortunately I missed the Leaper challenge in the third area, because I forgot to use the bengala..........what a pity I missed only that challenge......
However I also managed to escape with 2 minutes remaining and earned that cheevo.
My set:
-medic, full auto pistol, explosive bullets and armor, but i choosed the vulture (fully upgraded is awesome) and the granade launcher, that allows you to defend the drill greatly.
I will try to complete all challenges with the same loadout.

Try to turn on as many traps as possible it will help kill the scorpions if you are using a different class.

If you get the traps challenge in the last area, you have to stay in the nuclear bomb site, there is a big zone with water and you can activate an eletrical trap, but you have to use a flare if the hive that you are drilling is far.

^^ has to be done on Regular at least, like all other Extinction achievements

Worked a treat, did this last night and didn't know the turrets had been nerfed. Failed first time due to falling off the map and the drill went below 50% - one of the easiest challenges ... lol

I did get the 50% accuracy on rhino rounds on both runs, turrets helped a lot!! Fair to say I got lucky

Also on a side note, for the "Get X amount of kills while prone" challenge trap kills count but turret kills don't, so turn your turrets to the wall and put traps on and lie down.
Thumbs up, thanks dude

05-07-2022 I did this 2 times in a row and the other people got it but i did not. Might be glitched. Ill update if unlocked later. I already 100% the 360 version. Maybe thats the problem. EDIT: Shut down the game, Did another run with randoms and got it the third time. The game was really laggy the first 2 times with randoms. Maybe that was it.

This Method is brilliant, on my first try got to within 1 challenge (I cant shoot accurately enough) of getting this achievement and still managed to get to end as well to get throttled escape.
Will be using this way when I try again.

This solution was great until yesterday, I was trying it and it was pretty easy to do the entire game without any fear of dying. I didn't get the achievement because of some poor challenges on the last area screwing me everytime. Today the turrets got nerfed with the update, I tried playing once and got to the final are (having more trouble in the second area than before) just to get overwhelmed and left with no money very quickly (before the update if you used the turrets on the last area it was like having unlimited money all the time).

So, in short, does anyone have any ideas on what is the best strategy now for for this achievement?

This achievement can be difficult but not impossible. What you need first and foremost is four sensible, great players who are either high level (>22) or prestiged, who are good communicators and will work in a group.

Most of the challenges are fairly self explanatory and easy enough to obtain when working together. Some require you to put your turrets away (face them against a wall), such as melee killing or killing with a certain class of weapon. It is best to not setup new turrets until you know what the challenge actually is (after the drill has been set). Here's some of the tricky ones:

* Don't reload for the first 60 seconds: Be aware that throwing out ammo and sometimes switching weapons can trigger an automatic reload.
* Maintain an accuracy of 50%/75% or above: determine which person in the group is the best shooter, and let them make the necessary shots. It's best to perform this when an alien is attacking the drill. Turret bullets luckily do not count, so go nuts with those and rely on melee for defense or cleaning up the mess. Keep your finger off RT!
* Kill the leper in the first 30/60 seconds: depending on which wave this comes up, this can really hard to get. However as per usual use a flare and fire on anything that moves - 90% of the time this should be good enough. As started in other solutions, KILLING THE LEPER WITH A TURRET DOES NOT COUNT, so tuck your turrets away temporarily. (Note: there are reports that this challenge may have a 30 second limit now.)
* Kill 5 aliens while they are in the air: electric fences are your best bet, otherwise try to get up high like on a fence, roof, top of truck etc and time your shots.
* Kill 25 aliens with a sniper rifle: Abandon all hope. If you want to give it a try, grab a sniper rifle AND then grab new ammo (armor piercing hopefully, explosive as a fallback) as your previous ammo doesn't come with you. Use a flare to draw aliens into one area and fire away. Preferably get a number of people in your team to get the sniper rifle. I haven't seen a team ever get this challenge, but I'm sure it can be done.

If you're playing to grind, time efficiency would say that if you fail a challenge before the second barrier hive you should end the game and start over. If you fail a challenge after that, it's still worthwhile doing the rest of the waves for practice.

As Ive been trying to get it recently Ive noticed that time limited has been amended for Leper kill. Its 30 seconds now. Seems like a rule as from last week it was 30 secs only on every occasion (5-7 times).

I got super luck the other day, four randoms (including myself) we did all challenges including the leper and the sniper rifle, we got in on the third or fourth hive so everything was pretty weak.

This achievement isn't very hard as long as you have 4 people with mics and Turrets. Most of them are simple like get a certain amount of kills with a specific weapon. Just buy the weapon and only get kills with it for that one. If you get the one for keeping your accuracy up, only shoot one bullet and knife/turret the rest of the enemies. The harder ones consist of finding something called the Leper or something like that. He looks like one of the smaller enemies except he's all white and larger. He appears in random places, usually towards the beginning away from where you are. You CANNOT kill him with Turrets or you FAIL. Try throwing a flare in the open and lure him out with that. Another hard one is avoiding damage from the pink things that explode. Just set up turrets and keep a distance from the alien pods that fall down. When you reach the end, before you activate the nuke, run to where the first wall you have to defend is going to be. Set up all your turrets here so that they will kill the rhinos. Make sure you have your pistols out and run as fast as you can. After the second barrier remember to re-drop your turrets while you run to get the aliens off of your ass lol. I know this isn't a complete guide but the achievement isn't as hard as it seems. Just need turrets and 4 people with mics. Almost impossible to do with random teammates. Especially if they are a low rank. Most of the challenges should be self explanatory but if you have to kill the Leper late into it while your turrets are up it can be a pain. Good luck.

It was funny my friend really wanted this and I was helping him, we had all the challenges and the last one was don't use your abilities. He ran out of ammo and forgot and threw some down right at the end. I was laughing so hard because he screwed himself.

This guide is for those looking to get all 12 Challenges and Escape.

A lot of people recommend doing this solo, or with one other person, however, I have heard of successes with 4, and have gotten to the nuke with 3, so really, to each their own.

Solo:
I personally have found success with the following loadout:
- Weapon Specialist (For the extra bullet damage and faster reload)
- Grach Pistol
- Armor Piercing Ammo (Easier to kill Hunters and Rhinos)
- Feral Instincts (For increased speed and regen)
- Sentry Turret
- Grenade Turret (For shooting Barrier Hives)
- No Relic

And this is the Skill Point Distribution I use (in this order):

Sentry Turret: Max out (7 Skill Points)
Class: Faster Reload (4 Skill Points)
Feral Instincts: Faster Health Regen (2 Skill Points)
AP Ammo: 60% Capacity (3 Skill Points)
Pistol: Carry 2 Primary Weapons (4 Skill Points)
From here, either add your skill points to your Ammo or Feral Instincts

Best Method is with Four Players:
Everyone MUST HAVE a Sentry Turret. At least THREE people need to have it maxed out. I say three because we had one of my friends using Armor/Ammo and throwing it down regularly for everyone so his turret was not as good.

If you are doing it co-op I highly recommend maxing out your class and turret first.
If you have special ammo, make sure everyone has the same.
Try to keep other abilities diverse (ie. Two with Feral, Two with Armor).

Problems you may run into:

"Get X amount of trap kills"
Getting trap kills is incredibly difficult at the later stages, because there are more Hunters and Scorpions which do not get killed by the traps in the Cabin area easily.

"Find and kill the Leaper in 30 seconds"
The "Leaper" is essentially a Hunter-sized alien that dies faster than a Hunter. So, use Feral Instincts so that you can locate aliens through walls, increasing your chances of finding the Leaper. Kill everything that looks like a Hunter or Scout.

"Maintain an accuracy of XX% while defending the hive"
This is easy during the earlier rounds, but when you are defending the nuke, and this pops up, you might start grinding your teeth...Essentially, what you should do is deploy all of your Sentry Turrets in the WATER, then turn on the Electric Trap. This will fry all of the Hunters going after your turrets. Other than that, use explosives (launchers, grenades, claymores, betties, Grenade Turrets), or a shotgun is the only advice I can offer.

While playing the game you will have a challenge to complete every hive you attack. There is a total of 12 challenges that you need to complete. These challenges are randomly generated in each game. Most of them are "Kill x aliens with an x type of weapon" but some can be really tricky like "Kill x aliens while they are in mid air". You have until the drill has finished drilling to complete the challenge. As I said, it is very random and luck based what challenges you get. Sometimes you will get the challenge "Find and kill the Leper in 30 seconds". I have played many games and have never found it. But it's essentially hide and seek and it's luck if you find him within 30 seconds or not. This is best done with 2 players or solo, trying to do it with 4 players makes things harder as the challenge values are higher.

Kill 5 aliens while they are in the air

weapon special +sniper rifle +high ground (as high as possible cause it take longer for Alien to jump to the high ground ) and its very easy to one shot kill them when they are jumping.
second AO is easier to do this than the firest AO ,,depend on your luck

Probably the hardest achievement in the game. A challenge will appear every time that a drill is placed at a hive, and you must complete every challenge and escape to get this achievement. 4 players is obviously the best method, and all 4 players should know the objectives at hand at all times. 

There are a few tips I have here for overall success. If the challenge you get is related to a specific gun type, and nobody has it, only 1 or 2 members of the team should buy the weapon while the others stay back and protect them while minimizing their own kills until the challenge is complete. If the challenge is to maintain 75% accuracy or to not reload, try to finish the rounds using melee attacks or sentries as accidental reloads and ammo pickups complicate things.

In principle, all tests are easy, especially when playing with friends. But there is one task that may confuse you, this is “find and kill the leper in 30 seconds.” Here is a video (https://youtu.be/M4x24qstNhA) to understand what it looks like. You can mainly see him at higher elevations and, most importantly, it’s better to kill him yourself; if the spruce tour kills him, the challenge will fail.

Regarding the leper, I’ll add that he is always present in the first wave of attackers who appear after installing the drill and receiving the corresponding task.

During the game, watch where (on each of the 14 drills) the aliens begin to attack. As soon as such a test occurs, we run to the first wave and look for it.

Specialization - WOLF, also helps in searches.

I tried so many times to do it in co-op, but nothing, if you’ve already learned how to play, you know the map, then it’s easier to do it solo, because the tests are much simpler, I was a pharmacist myself, about the lipper, I don’t know about the video on YouTube, they show a little wrong, ONLY ALWAYS COMPLETELY DARK with GRAY, i.e. if others have a slightly glowing muzzle (red), then it is purely gray-black and yes, it is always in the first wave, but mostly in places:

1) First location 3-4 hives: goes down the mountain opposite the fence with a trap, runs either left or right, maybe to the starting area, maybe into the passage in front of the ladder to the last hive.

2) Second location 2nd hive: descends from the buildings between which the last hive and runs to the right

3rd hive: it happened once, it ran straight at me in the first wave, near the truck, then jumped onto the building behind the truck and died safely. (The hive was the one behind the wall)

3) Third location: there he usually descends from the barn, which contains 12 hives. Also, if the test falls on the 12th hive in the barn, he climbs out along the fence on which there is a trap below, which is closer to the barn, behind it are 13-14 hives.

I don’t know if the places of appearance change, but no matter how much I played, I very rarely missed the leaker, mostly I always caught it in the places that I described, the main thing to remember is that you need to know what it exactly looks like, then there won’t be any problems. Yes, as they wrote in the hint above, especially in the third location, be careful with the turrets, if they kill him, the test will fail.

If you are going exclusively for platinum, then it is best to level up in the lobby to lvl 21 to the turrets, then go and complete the challenges solo, because in the lobby up to prestige 2 it is virtually impossible to meet people who can actually overcome all the challenges.
And the challenges themselves are much easier to complete in solo, with the exception of Leeper (for this we take Instincts and drop them as soon as the test begins), killing mobs in the air (we fire a couple of shots, then start to move away, forcing the mobs to jump on us), and in the third city, if you get a kill from traps, it’s also a bit of a pain to go through. The best way is to turn on the current in front of the very last hive, and kite the mobs with electricity. All other challenges will not cause any problems.
