How to unlock the Coin-Op achievement in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare - Definitive Guide

In order to play Skullbuster you must completed each of these steps in this order you can not do them out of order.

Skull 1
Find the Glass Cleaner and Cloth to clean the cabinet screen.

Glass Cleaner locations:
1: In the disco on the top floor next to a pole near the DJ booth. http://imgur.com/a/NHYtY

2: Next to the lockers in the Subway station, on the left side of the boxes that the reel for PaP can sometimes be found on. http://imgur.com/a/f1drt

3: To the left of the stage in Heebie Geebies on the floor. http://imgur.com/a/PVn9N

Cloth locations:
1: On a pallet on the roof of the disco, near the Magic Wheel. http://imgur.com/a/zphbY

2:To the left of the Rat King's throne on top a stack of pizza boxes. http://imgur.com/a/Dl4xC

3:In the alleyway next to Heebie Geebies, you need to climb up the ladder and it's laying there on the floor. http://imgur.com/a/kJkHO

Skull 2
Mahjong.

A line of Mahjong tiles spawn up on the roof of the disco, as you come out of the stairway door, look to your right towards the broken skylight you can jump down, they spawn up a small set of steps on a blueish wall. You will need to find 3 or 4 pieces to fill in the blanks. If the line has 5 of any number piece you will need to replace it since you can't win a hand with 5 of any number piece.

Here is a list of pictures of some known locations: http://imgur.com/a/akjQX or you can watch a video of the locations


-In the little side room inside Heebie Geebies, on an upside-down red crate next to some chairs
-Near Racing Stripes, on a similar red crate, right where you can find the Pink Cat flyer
-In the room above Bombstoppers on a small round wooden table
-On the pallet next to Blue Bolts, where you find one of the character-specific items for the bios
-In the disco on the upper floor, on the left corner of the bar near to the Skull Buster machine
-On the back of the crashed car that is immediately to your left as you go outside the Dojo
-On the only bench that is on the same level as the locker in the second subway station
-On the folding hatch part of the bar in Heebie Geebies
-On one of the taller round tables in the little patio area outside the disco as you head towards Deadeye Dewdrops
-On a bench in the same small room where the Magic Wheel is in the subway above where the train can come through

There are even more locations, check the video I linked above.

Some fireworks will go off above the tiles if you have done it correctly and you will be on to the next step.

You can calculate in what order you need to put your tiles here: http://mahjong.onevis.net/
How the site works:
You don't need to change anything in the sidebar.
You see 4 rows of tile in the middle of your screen. You only need to use the second row from the top, which consists of tiles with circles that count from 1 through 9 on them.
You then select all the tiles that are in your game (including the ones you found and put in the row on the rooftop) and the site will give you the correct order you need to put the tiles in to complete the step.
If the site gives an error 'Hand composition or winning tile is invalid' that means that you can't win with your current tiles. You have to find another tile on the map and switch it with one on the rooftop.


Skull 3
Candle Windows
You need to be careful with this step, as a failure will mean you will have to wait until the next round to try it again, however, there are 4 mini-parts to it, and you only need to repeat the part you fail, not the entire step. This step requires shooting window panes to form the individual numbers of 1972.
Starting from the area between the disco and the Pink Cat, on the outside of the curved staircase in the disco, on the upper left hand side will be a window with a candle in it now, the goal here is to shoot the panes of the window just to the right of that candle (in this case it is the middle of the three sections of the window) to form the number 1, as you shoot each pane, it will turn to an orangey-yellow color, and you need to shoot them fairly quickly or else you will fail and have to wait until the next round to try again, if you hit an incorrect pane, you will also fail and need to wait until the next round.

Here's what the 1st window should look like http://imgur.com/a/G8Tq3


The second window is located on the roof near Racing Stripes, near the rat cage. Starting from the rat cage location, move to the other side of the roof access door that has the Black Cat poster on it and look over the edge to the building on the other side, if you look to the set of windows on the left, the candle will be in the middle, again, you need to shoot the panes to the right of the candle, it will be more obvious because the window will not have any broken panes. On this window, you will need to form the number 9. This window has more panes so it will be a little trickier than the last one, but the panes need to end up looking like this:

http://imgur.com/a/5XU0W

The '7' window can be found in the downstairs of the disco area, if you come into the disco from the Dewdrops direction and turn left, as you come down this corridor, there are two bigger windows at the end with a candle stand in front of it where you can turn right and go up the stairs to the upper level, out to PaP, etc. this one is again harder than the last one and looks like so

http://imgur.com/a/x75tY

Luckily, the fourth and final window is probably the easiest. In the alley on the left-hand side of the dojo, to the left of the side door, are 2 lit up yellowish windows, again, the candles are kind of in the middle, and you're shooting the one to the right, this time, forming a 2. The pattern is as follows:

http://imgur.com/a/0udD2

Skull 4
Platform Jumping
This step is also failable, and you can only attempt it once per round, so it might be a good idea to try this at as early a round as you can manage, to give you a better chance of survival if you struggle.
This step involves you heading up the ramp to the roof above Racing Stripes, to the place where you spawn the second Rat King from, you need to have the chi barrier door open, so make sure you do that if you haven't already. If you look out over that drop, you'll see a floating white circle, you need to jump onto it, and then continue jumping from one circle to the next, above the roof. Be careful though, and only about 5 or 6 of these circles will be there at any time, and as each new one appears ahead, the furthest one back will disappear. At the very end, you will have to jump and hit the fourth skull.


Skull 5
The Moving Train
You will either need to have someone to help you with this step or have Up n' Atoms if you're playing solo because it is almost certain suicide, which is why I recommend doing this at an early-round before you have bought most of your perks.
The fifth skull appears on the front of the moving train that passes through the second station regularly, and the only known way of getting this skull is to jump in front of the train. It may be possible to do this without getting downed, but the easiest way to do it is to sacrifice yourself and use of your Up n' Atoms, or have you or a friend jump in front of it to collect it and then get revived, but it's really as simple as that.

Skull 6
Phone it in
This step is super simple too, all you have to do is go to any payphone in either of the subway stations and dial 5550152 and listen to the voice on the other end until the call finishes. This is the number that's on the Skullbuster machine itself You can now play skull busters.

How to play Skullbuster

Going into it, it will be similar to Ghosts and Skulls, and will have the same basic mechanics, only this time there are colored cubes floating around instead of ghosts, and there will be a mixture of colored skulls and non-colored squares with question marks on them, the aim is to throw the colored cubes at the question mark squares to turn them into that particular color skull and create 3 adjacent same-colored skulls, causing them to bind together and be destroyed, they do not need to be in one straight line, they can also form an L shape. On the bottom right corner will be your strike corner. The only way you can get strikes is by throwing the colored cube in places they wouldn't belong. You do not get strikes from going down. You can instantly get a gameover if the skulls advance too far like Space Invaders.

There are 3 waves in this mini-game, each time you complete a wave more skulls will spawn in the next wave. Once you beat all 3 waves you will then be ejected from the game and given all 9 available perks, as well as your Magic Wheel will now have a green beam, instead of the usual colored one. When you go up to the machine, there will be skulls rising up from the top of it, and whenever you spin it, every weapon within the box will be Pack a Punched, and it will still only cost you $950 per spin.

If you fail the skullbuster game 3 times and get kicked or of the machine you will have to restart all of the steps (unless you have the fare and fortune card for the skullbusters).

I just beat Skull Buster using the Fate and Fortune card, but unfortunately the achievement didn't pop.

Any thoughts?

Hi. If anyone would help me with this achievement it would be greatly appreciated . Its one of the last ones I need and I'm pretty unclear on how to do it. Please message my gamertag on xbox if you can help as I'll probably forget to check back to this post. Thanks

For those attempting this absolute pain of an achievement (I will forever be haunted by the jumping step), I strongly advise you use the Skull Hacker F&F card once you get the 5th skull and fail a game of Skull Buster as per WiizKiin’s suggestion. Once you do that, feel free to go for skull number 6 and try Skull Buster for the achievement.

Don’t do as I did - I finally managed to get through all the steps and played Skull Buster not using Skull Hacker, I failed, and was not able to try again that game. I had to try again from a new game to get the achievement

After some research, you need to have done all the steps before attempting Skull Buster.

What you can do is all the steps up to and including Skull 5, then use the Fate & Fortune card called "Skull Hacker". Then you intentionally fail Skull Buster.

Then, do Skull 6 (Phoning the number). You should then have unlimited attempts at Skull Buster.

This was a gigantic struggle for me. Jumping puzzle took me until about round 18-20 to finally get right (after starting around round 6 or 7), and then I did legitimately fail the arcade game once after purposefully failing the first time (after using my Skull Hacker fortune card ... thanks for the tip WiizKiin!). It wasn't hard to make out which colors were supposed to go where, but the aiming was very frustrating. I had a lot of cubes get hitmarkers right on the corners of question mark squares I was aiming for, but they wouldn't flip over and become skulls. I was sweating bullets punching in the phone number a 2nd time between rounds, hoping I wouldn't get multi-slapped to death. Thankfully I survived and lived to try the game again and beat it this time. Couldn't imagine doing this solo sans director's cut!

Good guide and tips!

Credit to whateverish27 on Reddit and SmartGuy316 on YouTube, though I wrote some things myself too.

This one is a lot simpler to do than past Ghosts and Skulls EEs, and as far as I'm aware, JustAnotherUKGamer was the first to complete it, so credit to him.

The steps are as follows:

Skull 1
Find the Glass Cleaner and Cloth to clean the cabinet screen.

Glass Cleaner locations:
In the disco on the top floor next to a pole near the DJ booth
Next to the lockers in the Subway station, on the left side of the boxes that the reel for PaP can sometimes be found on.
To the left of the stage in Heebie Geebies

Cloth locations:
On a pallet on the roof of the disco, near the Magic Wheel
To the left of the Rat King's throne
In the alleyway next to Heebie Geebies, you need to climb up the ladder and it's laying there on the floor.


Skull 2
Mahjong.

A line of Mahjong tiles spawn up on the roof of the disco, as you come out of the stairway door, look to your right towards the broken skylight you can jump down, they spawn up a small set of steps on a blueish wall. You will also need to find 3 extra pieces from around the map to complete this step, however at least 4 pieces spawn, so you need to try and somehow figure out which one is unnecessary, although finding 4 pieces might make it easier, as there may be multiple solutions, depending on which combination of tiles you use, but you can go back to any spawn location to put a tile back if you don't want to use it. There are many locations where these can spawn, the ones listed below are the ones that we know of so far, but there are still more to be found:

Here is a list of pictures of some known locations: http://imgur.com/a/akjQX

-In the little side room inside Heebie Geebies, on an upside down crate next to some chairs
-Near Racing Stripes, on a similar crate, right where you can find the Pink Cat flyer
-In the room above Bombstoppers on a small round wooden table
-On the pallet next to Blue Bolts, where you find one of the character specific items for the bios
-In the disco on the upper floor, on the left corner of the bar near to the Skull Buster machine
-On the back of the crashed car that is immediately to your left as you go outside the Dojo
-On the only bench that is on the same level as the locker in the second subway station
-On the folding hatch part of the bar in Heebie Geebies
-On one of the taller round tables in the little patio area outside the disco as you head towards Deadeye Dewdrops
-On a bench in the same small room where the Magic Wheel is in the subway above where the train can come through

There are even more locations, check the video at the bottom of the guide for them.

The panes you need to shoot on the first window look something like this, where the X's represent the panes you need to shoot (don't mind the dots, I just don't know how to properly format it in text to show how it looks, but every 2 dots represents a blank window):

XX..
..X..
..X..
XXX

The second window is located on the roof near Racing Stripes, very near to where the rat cage spawns. Starting from the rat cage location, move to the other side of the roof access door that has the Black Cat poster on it and look over the edge to the building on the other side, of you look to the set of windows on the left, the candle will be in the middle, again, you need to shoot the panes to the right of the candle, it will be more obvious because the window will not have any broken panes.

XXX
X..X
X..X

....X
XXX

The '7' window can be found in the downstairs of the disco area, if you come into the disco from the Dewdrops direction and turn left, as you come down this corridor, there are two bigger windows at the end with a candle stand in front of it where you can turn right and go up the stairs to the upper level, out to PaP, etc. this one is again harder than the last one and looks like so:

..............
..XXXXX..
..........X..
........X...
......X......
......X......
......X......
......X......
..............

Luckily, the fourth and final window is probably the easiest. In the alley on the left hand side of the dojo, to the left of the side door, are 2 lit up yellowish windows, again, the candles are kind of in the middle, and you're shooting the one to the right, this time, forming a 2. The pattern is as follows:

And that's step 3 complete!


Skull 4
Platform Jumping
This step is also failable, and you can only attempt it once per round, so it might be a good idea to try this at as early a round as you can manage, to give you a better chance of survival if you struggle.
This step involves you heading up the ramp to the roof above Racing Stripes, to the place where you spawn the second Rat King from, you need to have the red breakable door open, so make sure you do that if you haven't already. If you look out over that drop, you'll see a floating white circle, you need to jump onto it, and then continue jumping from one circle to the next, above the roof. Be careful though, and only about 5 or 6 of these circles will be there at any time, and as each new one appears ahead, the furthest one back will disappear. At the very end you will have to jump and hit the fourth skull.


Skull 5
The Moving Train
You will either need to have someone to help you with this step, or Up n' Atoms, because it is almost certain suicide, which is why I recommend doing this at an early round before you have bought most of your perks.
The fifth skull appears on the front of the moving train that passes through the second station regularly, and the only known way of getting this skull is to jump in front of the train. It may be possible to do this without getting downed, but the easiest way to do it is to sacrifice a use of your Up n' Atoms, or have you or a friend jump in front of it to collect it and then get revived, but it's really as simple as that. It may also be possible to activate the rewind clock at the side of the room and then jump in front of the train, but I'm not sure if it's been confirmed that it works yet, so if you do try it, do so at your own risk.


Skull 6
Phone it in
This step is super simple too, all you have to do is go to any payphone in either of the subway stations and dial 555-0152 and listen to the voice on the other end until the call finishes. This is the number that's on the Skullbuster machine itself


That's it! Skull Buster will be available to play.


The Game Itself

Going into it, it will be similar to Ghosts and Skulls, and will have the same basic mechanics, only this time there are coloured cubes floating around instead of ghosts, and there will be a mixture of coloured skulls and non-coloured squares with question marks on them, the aim is to throw the coloured cubes at the squares to turn them into that particular colour and create 3 adjacent same-coloured skulls, causing them to bind together and be destroyed, they do not need to be in one straight line, they can also for an L shape.

Basically Candy Crush.

Doing this 3 times, each time with increasingly more zombies will cause you to win the game, you will then be ejected from the game and given all 9 available perks, as well as your Magic Wheel will now have a green beam above it, instead of the usual coloured one. When you go up to the machine, there will be skulls rising up from the top of it, and whenever you spin it, every weapon within the box will be Pack a Punched, and it will still only cost you $950 per spin.

Hopefully this guide will help you complete the Skull Buster Easter Egg and will get you the silver Coin-Op trophy, as well as set you up beautifully for a main EE run, since you won't need to spend money on perks or Pack a Punching your weapons, and can save your money for double Pack a Punching them instead!



For the people that prefer a video guide, here is the best (in my opinion).

To get this trophy you must complete the 3rd round in the Skull Buster Arcade game. Once inside the Skull Buster machine you must shoot question blocks with the colored cubes in order to connect them to the colored Skulls. Skulls will disappear if there are 3 of the same colored skulls connected. Do 3 rounds of this and you will win. If you win, then it will reward you with every perk. These perks will be permanent the whole game. (you won’t lose them when you go down and get revived) and every gun in the Mystery Wheel is Pack-a-Punched. Look for the obvious answer as 3 strikes in one round kicks you out. Obvious answers are usually in corners as it may be surrounded by one color thus, that skull has to be that color to complete a set of 3. If you do lose and get kicked out just call the number (repeat step 6) again to go back inside – you don’t have to wait a round, you can immediately go right back in.

Here is a detailed guide in how to light up the 6 skulls on the arcade machine so that you can play it.

Skull 1: Clean the blood off the screen.

  • Obtain the Glass Cleaner that can be found in one of these locations
    • In the Disco on the top floor next to a pole near the bar
    • Next to the lockers in the Subway station near the Pink Cat Theater
    • To the left of the stage in the Heebie Geebies
  • Obtain the Rags that can be found in one of these locations
    • On the roof of the Disco, next to the Magic Wheel on some pallets
    • To the left of the Rat King's throne on some pizza boxes
    • In the Bob Stoppers alleyway, up the wooden ladder, sitting on the floor
  • Bring these to the Skull Buster Machine and it will clean the blood off it and give you the 1st Skull.

Skull 2: Play Mahjong.

Mahjong tiles spawn up near Quickies on the roof. You must collect Mahjong tiles around the map with numbers and symbols on them. The objective is to make it so it displays what would give you a winning hand in a real game of Mahjong. Mahjong tile Spawns:

  • On a pallet next to Blue Bolts
  • Outside the Disco on a barrel table
  • Inside the Disco on a bar counter
  • On the Disco roof on a red table
  • In the same room as Tuff 'Nuff in the opposite corner
  • On a red crate next to Racin' Stripes
  • On a red crate in the Heebie Geebies
  • On a bar counter in the Heebie Geebies
  • On a bench in the Subway near the Theater
  • On a red table in the Disco (door near Bombstoppers)
  • On a ledge/counter in the Disco

A winning hand consists of sets of 3 or pairs. For example:

(1-2-3) (1-2-3) (2-3-4) (3-4-5) (1-1)
(1-2-3) (1-2-3) (3-3) (1-1) (2-2) (5-5)

I always win by making as many ordered sets of 3 as I can, then finishing off the remaining tiles with pairs.

Skull 3: Shoot 1972 into windows.

  • Number 1: Candles will spawn on a window between the Inferno Disco sign and the Subway. You must shoot a digital 1 into it.
  • Number 9: Go to Racin' Stripes and on another building you should see the candles in front of a new window. Shoot a digital 9 into it
  • Number 7: Go to the left of Trail Blazers and once again there is another window with candles. Shoot a digital 7 into this one.
  • Number 2: Go to the left of the Dojo and shoot a digital 2 into this window
  • If you take too long to shoot or shoot a wrong tile, then you will fail and have to wait 1 round to try again. Also note that you cannot do this on a Roller Skater round.
  • If you were successful, then the 3rd skull will appear on the Skull Busters screen.

Skull 4: Jumping platforms.

  • When a round starts you must go to the RPR Evo wall buy location near Poindexter's TV where the Racin’ Stripes are.
  • Here you will see white circles spawn in and you must do a jumping puzzle on the circles that appear. When you get to the end you must jump into the Skull to collect it.
  • If you get the skull then it will light up on the arcade screen. If you fall off you must wait another round for the circles to respawn and try again.

Skull 5: Leap of Faith

  • You have to jump in front of the subway train to grab the Skull off the front of it. As long as you touch the skull, you will fine - even if you go down.
  • This is not so bad in co-op as it is easy and although you will likely go down, you will have a partner to revive you. If playing solo make sure you have Up 'N Atoms or fortune card to revive yourself.

Skull 6: The Phone Call.

  • You have to dial 555-0152 (the number on the Skull Buster arcade machine) on any phone in the map (either subway). Stay on the phone until you hear the completion noise.
  • Now everyone in the party has to press on the machine to play the game. Remember: you only have to repeat step 6 if you fail the Skull Buster game, thus you won't have to wait for another round. Just keep trying.

In addition to the tip, the following tips:
1. Bones are scattered throughout the map, the number of identical ones should not exceed 3-4; an ideal set of 2 dice and all others 3 identical; If the mahjong calculator does not work, it means you have collected the wrong amount.
2. I advise you to perform jumps without perks, it is better that you have a player with money and a player with a gm with you, and the sooner you start, the better, because on high waves the number of zombies increases and you have to wait longer for a new round, because there is only one attempt to jump.
3. Game “Knocking out skulls” - first, it’s better to practice using the skull buster card in a separate game and learn how to play this game so that after jumping there is no defeat in it. Luck card: “SKULL PICK” epic PS you won’t get trophies for just winning on the machine, you will have to go through all the steps in full.
