How to unlock the Purple Heart achievement in Call of Duty: World at War - Definitive Guide

You have to die around 20 times on a level. Easiest way to do this is after a check point just keep dropping a grenade and killing yourself until it pops. I got mine though just playing on Veteran and getting killed.

Most likely while playing veteran, you really won't have to try and do anything special to get this achievement, it'll just happen, over and over again. >.<

/\ Show off. :-)

Second achievement I earned, on the first level while going for the ammo bunker. On Veteran. Needless to say, I'm a bit rusty.

It's an achievement because of your endurance and striving to complete a level. I'm doing the opposite. I have about 4 levels to go on veteran and haven't got the achievement yet. Hope I'll end up with 995g.

I agree that the use of the grenade it is the best idea,but this can be done easier. Choose any level on vet and as soon as the mission starts just cook a grenade in your hand and BOOM...do this 20 times and it is done...you dont have to move yourself and you dont even need to look for a good place to throw the grenade.

You don't have the achievement so why are you doing a solution for this.

The fastest way I've found for doing this achievement is on Vendetta on Veteran. When it comes to the sniper duel just wait for the checkpoint to hit and stand up. The German sniper will do all the work for you.

Just throwing my guide into the mix along with a video.

The easiest way to get this is to play through a level on the veteran difficulty. Simply charge towards the enemy and let them kill you. Now repeat this 19 more times and the achievement will unlock for you. You
must do all this one single mission as it does not carry on over to other missions.

Alternatively, you don't actually have to "die" at all. Load up a level (I did it on Hard Landing) and just unload a clip into the soldiers up ahead until they die and you get the "Friendly Fire Will Not Be Tolerated" message. Do this twenty times and the achievement is yours!

Might even be marginally faster than cooking a grenade.

I found a more relaxing way, on level 1 simply blutak up the controller so you run forwards automatically, into enemy fire, then you die. Place down the controller while it simply repeats said motion 19 more times and achievement pops!!
You can do something else while its doing, maybe write a guide for ta while u wait like i did smile

Just kill yourself at least 20 times on the same campaign level in one play through. If going for the Veteran achievements it should come naturally because they are pretty difficult. But if you just want the achievement before that then you can just keep dropping grenades as you spawn.

Note: You can also shoot your allies until the "Friendly fire will not be tolerated" screen comes on repeat 20 times and the achievement is yours.

On veteran, die 20 times, simply done by running into enemies and letting them kill you.

You have to die about 20 times in one playthrough of a mission to get this trophy. If you plan on going for the Veteran trophies you shouldn't need to try to get this as you'll get it during that grind. But if you happen to be some kind of Call of Duty god or simply don't want to go through that Hell, the best method in my opinion would be to just cook grenades in your hand until they explode. Do it 20ish times and you'll unlock the trophy.

On any difficulty, run up to the enemies and die. Revive and repeat the process 10 times. And you will receive this trophy. The easiest way to get it is on Veteran, as you will be killed very quickly.
