How to unlock the Retro Shooter achievement in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered - Definitive Guide
Difficulty: Recruit
It is recommended that you pair this with Master Ninja and only use your knife:
From the beginning of the mission, just take out your pistol and don't shoot any bullets. The AI will take out a good amount of the enemies for you, and there are only a few parts where you will required to push forward and grab a couple of knife kills.
If you die, just reload your last checkpoint.
The mission only takes about 7:30 using this strategy, and doesn't have many hard sections.
You can pair this achievement with Master Ninja by not firing your weapon at all and just using your knife.
If you would like a video guide for this I will leave it below
You will likely want to attempt this on Recruit difficulty. Simply run through the mission, using nothing except for the knife to kill enemies. Let your team carry the weight, and they will clear the level fairly efficiently. Just run up to stab enemies, and hide behind cover when near a group or hurt. Dying will not void the achievement, however. Just keep your finger off the trigger to avoid firing when startled, and do not use grenades or flashbangs. The trophies should pop after jumping to the helicopter at the end of the mission.
Feel free to ask any questions, and add me on TT/ TA/ PSN/ XBL as Danokitty. Happy hunting!
This video is a follow along guide for both Achievements.
To get the Ghillies In The Mist Achievement you must complete this level without being spotted or alerting any enemies.
You will shoot 5 or 6 different enemies in this level & all must be headshots.
For the big group with the vehicles stick to the far right of the map before the radiation zone. If you see a destroyed APC go to the left since going to the right is directly in the radiation zone.
Don't bother finding the enemy intel since the 2nd one will get you spotted.
Suggested Mission: Crew Expendable
You should pair this with Master Ninja because if you’re only killing with your knife you won’t need to reload anyway. The easiest mission to complete using only your knife (melee) is Crew Expendable. It’s nice and short and your allies will take care of a lot of the enemies for you. Of course choose recruit difficulty to make it nice and simple, and make sure to get Three of a Kind while you’re at it.
See Master Ninja for a video guide.

- we don’t shoot at the beginning
- shoot carefully inside the ship
- as the cartridges come to an end - we change the weapon to the one dropped from the enemies
We just use only a knife in the first mission, set the difficulty to minimum and get our coveted prize
