How to unlock the Ballistics Be Damned achievement in Call of Duty: WWII - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires that you reach round 15 (max ammo round) using melee weapons only.

This may sound straight-forward but it can actually be quite frustrating, so make sure to:

- switch to the shovel by clicking right on the d-pad as soon as the game starts

- buy melee damage perk as soon as possible (its a blue perk found by going to the left of the wide open area of the map with the stairs, the lower opening not the door at the top)

- make sure ALL players in the game use melee weapons as well. if you can't get others to do it, I suggest you play solo. if anyone even as much as shoots a bullet, the achievement is void for everyone

- you can buy armor

- bombers exploding shoud not be problem

- cannot confirm but I strongly suggest to not use your special ability

I used shellshock in my game. As long as you don't activate it during insta kill (zombies hit by it will die) you should be fine.

I used camo and my friend used frontline so those 2 specials wont affect it

I can confirm you can't use the nukes which they randomly drop out from zombies

Assuming wonder weapon voids this, so you can't work on the easter egg while going for this?

I have heard that you can use the wonder weapon, just not shoot it at a zombie or use the LT ability. you can try it, but I am not 100% sure

You can also use self revives. So keep that in mind, especially if you are doing it solo where you can have both quick revive (works as a self revive on solo) and up to 2 self revived.

Can confirm you can use nukes and special abilities.

I used camoflauge with specialist training, armored up, resourceful. Blitz: revive, increased speed and stamina, increased melee damage.

Pretty easy just survive 14 rounds, use camo and kill wustlings (I waited until 2 or more on screen)

Ice pick with melee damage one hit for me the whole way, as soon as 14 ended the achievement popped right after. Specialist with camo and 1 point armor for camo work well if you get stuck, you should have plenty of jolts for armor anyways.

Didn't work for coop with friend popping Shellshock with Insta-Kill. Did it myself with Shellshock before and no issues so can reasonably confirm that a Shellshock with Insta-kill voids it. Nukes worked fine and regular Shellshock as well.

I can confirm that you can use the wunderbuss and nades to get the dagger I recommend you do that or the bat

I finally got this achievement after several tries. It's been said that grenades are OK to use but I never got it to unlock when I had used them. I had even tried throwing knives because that should be considered melee right? It only unlocked for me after not using ANY type of grenade, mine, throwing knife.

Weird. Just got this. Went down (a lot) and accidently fired a shot from my pistol and still managed to unlock this.

Apparently it also avoids the achievement when somebody bleeds out.

For this achievement, you must reach (not beat) wave 15 on The Shadowed Throne.

It's easy enough, but I do recommend using these tips:

- Have a friend help out. Everyone in the game has to use melee weapons.
- Switch to your shovel as soon as you spawn in. You can also use the spiked baseball bat (found near the radio), the ice pick (found in museum) and the trench knife (found in the back of theater).
- Use Camouflage as your special ability.
- Pick up 'full meter' power ups every time you see one. (You can pick up any power up, even nukes).
- Don't throw any grenades. *I'm not sure if throwing knives void the achievement. If someone can confirm, that'd be great*
- Bomber zombies don't void the achievement, so if you don't mind taking some damage, use them to your advantage.
- Purchase the "increased melee damage" perk early on (found upstairs in the museum).
- Keep an eye on your armor and purchase more when needed.

Good luck!

This one isn’t too bad considering there are multiple powerful melee weapons in the map. Bring a camouflage class for this one. Get to Main Street as quickly as possible, then grab the spiked bat on the upper level, though I’d recommend switching that out for the pickaxe as soon as you open the museum. From there, follow the steps for the upgraded axe under step 3 of Stadtjäger Down. Whenever you have enough points, grab the melee damage blitz on the upper floor of the museum, and you should have all you need to reach round 15. I’d also recommend getting Stamin-Up on Main Street and Self-Revive if playing solo. As long as you play it safe, you shouldn’t have an issue getting all the way to round 15 with just the upgraded axe, don’t forget to use camouflage if you get overwhelmed. Note that you can’t use the Wunderbuss or grenades, so despite the two trophies seeming similar, you can’t get this on the same run as Ammo Conservation.

The Concussion ability is not suitable, it causes damage to zombies and will not give you a trophy, checked! Install Camouflage, everything works fine with it. Naturally, you cannot shoot or throw grenades.
When a magnet, cartridges, or a skull fell out of a zombie, we took everything. When a bomb fell, they didn’t take it just in case. The trophy dropped immediately after the end of the 14th wave.
Combine this trophy with the Ammo Conservation trophy

You can also take a bomb, it’s been checked, the trophy will fall out, and also if the bomber explodes and kills a zombie, the trophy will also fall out.
