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

Mission - Vendetta
Difficulty - recruit
Time to do it - just after you pick off the guards and the dog at the beginning.
Method - as soon as you can get out of the fountain run for the right hand side of the armoured car, now you have 2 choices here,
1 - you can wait and 1 of the Germans will run towards 2 others, shoot him to kill all 3
2 - (my preferred way) as soon as you get to the car fire a random bullet in the air, this will give away your position and cause around 20 Nazis to run your way, now bide your time for them to bunch up and shoot once you feel there is enough. i took out 5 this way

Also thanks to a comment i now know you can get this in zombies mode. thanks for the info

I tried method 1 and failed... but once they all started running at me they lined up nicely which made for an easy method 2 shot heh.

Best method out of them all. Either one works easier than trying anywhere else or on zombies by far

I did this one also playing zombies, during instakill when there were a lot of zombies inside they tend to walk in a straight line. Very easy this way.

Mission: Vendetta

Difficulty: Recruit

Gun: Sniper Rifle

Location: When you get to the part where they want you to blow the flamethrower guy up. What you need to do is before you enter the building stop on the crosswalk. Get out your sniper rifle and look to where the flamethrower guy is. You see two other guards leaned up against the wall.

You can either:
a) Try to shoot the flamerthrower guy with the with other two. But, I'll be honest...most of the time I kept hitting the flamethrower pack and blowing them up.

b) Wait for the flamethrower guy to pass and another guy will come walking down from the north...he walks in front of them as well...then take your shot. Easy as pie!

A bit hit and miss are these two both are on the nazi zombies bonus game.
1st method- Using the Kar98 on one of the 1st four levels try and get insa kill then let three or more zombies in and let them have it! Gained this way by still_strange
2nd method- Get to level four and as soon as you have enough cash unlock the help door and go straight to the box of tricks on the left! Use it as much as you can till you get the PSG sniper rifle! then back into the first room wait for 3+ zombies to come from the end with two windows aim and fire! The sniper rifle is powerful enough to go through about ffour zombies in one shot! Get in

Method 1 Gained by StillStrange
Method 2 by Me

On any zombie level get to the magic box and keep using it until you get the .357 Magnum, then stand near a doorway and wait for zombies to come through and before you shoot them try to line them up. Fire away!

Location: Any Nazi zombie map while using a sniper.

Strategy: While playing on a Nazi zombie map have all the zombies form a group at around wave 10 then use the flamethrower to weaken them enough so even the beginning pistol can dispose of them in a single shot. From here, take out the group of weakened zombies by firing a sniper bullet when the are lined up or close enough to it. Recommended map is Shi no Numa.

On the mission when your on Okinawa and they drop weapons and stuff for you, find the scoped Springfield and go down into the tunnel and there should be 2 enemies sitting across from each other and 1 patrolling. Get as close as possible and then wait till the patroller is in front and shoot. The closer the better 'cause it might go through only 2 guys.

I got this achievement right as I got the game in Nazi Zombies without even trying/knowing it was an achievement. All you need to do is line up zombies and spray the M1911 into the crowd. Can be done on solo in any map.

I got this one on vendetta after killing general amsel. After you kill him Reznov has you run from the nazis and jump through a window. Before you jump out if you turn around and look at the doorway you just came through there is 4 - 5 nazis running after you, all you have to do is shoot the first one in the chest with your sniper rifle and it should take out at least 4 of em.

Mission: Vendetta
Difficulty: Recruit
Gun: Sniper Rifle

Easily done after killing Gen. Amsel. Run up the stairs and into the room where you jump into the river.Dont jump but wait and look to the doorway. A mass of Nazis will rush in, just aim and shoot through them. I got 7 in one bullet.

Rough Economy - Kill 3 enemies with a single bullet.

This Trophy / Achievement can be difficult to unlock. During mission 4: Vendetta, when you are tasked with sniping the general. When Amsel and his bodyguards exit the building they are coming from there is a split second where 3 are lined up.

It may take many tries but once you kill 3 with one shot your Trophy / Achievement should pop! Enjoy!

So for 2022, I got this using this guide here:

Vendetta on Recruit. This could be done with The Professional at the beginning of this mission.

This can be gotten in any mission, as long as you're a good enough shot. The easiest mission to do it in, however, is Vendetta, right at the start. A video is included to help.

Another way to get it is in Nazi Zombies, simply line three zombies up and hope you kill three with one shot, use a PTRS-41 or magnum if you're unsure.

Just to add an extra a small addition to this achievement, the other solution pretty much sums it up but I found another way that was very easy.

Level: vendetta.

Kill all the enemies at the beginning as normal.
Follow reznov to the bar.

The way you entered, turn around and face it, the enemy will be coming round that corner up ahead.
I waited near the left most window, lots of troops slowly walk around the corner and walk in front of one another.
I scoped at two of them and as a third walked in front I shot.
Unexpected but simple. This might help others.

The easiest way to get this trophy is during Vendetta, after you deal with Amsel's henchmen. You will need to carefully leave, follow Reznov, but stay in sight. You will need to kill 20 guards in the area. If you are lucky, you will receive this trophy. For more details , see the video tip .

At the very beginning of the Vendeta mission, when you kill all the soldiers with a rifle, a column of other guards will follow them and by aiming at the column you can brush off three at once
