How to unlock the Rescuer achievement in Call of Duty: WWII - Definitive Guide

So what is not stated by other solutions and only obliquely alluded to by the wording of the achievement description is that there are exactly ten allies over the course of the game that require your help in this manner. These are collectibles that make up ten of the game's 23 heroic actions, meaning that despite the game stating "Heroic action performed" every single time you complete one, each heroic action counts exactly once and the achievement cannot be sped up by completing the same heroic action on checkpoint reloads or subsequent playthroughs.

Heroic actions, like mementos, are immediately and permanently collected the moment you get them and are not reset if you die or quit the mission, if the AI you saved dies, etc. Do it once and you never have to bother again.

The ten struggling allies are found in the following missions:
D Day
Struggle #1 - 0:05
Struggle #2 - 0:22

Operation Cobra
Struggle #3 - 1:27

Collateral Damage
Struggle #4 - 5:30
Struggle #5 - 6:06

Death Factory
Struggle #6 - 7:47

Hill 493
Struggle #7 - 8:25

Battle of the Bulge
Struggle #8 - 9:19

Ambush
Struggle #9 - 10:51

The Rhine
Struggle #10 - 12:03

A complete timeline of heroic actions is inside the spoiler.

I found 2 struggles in "Death factory" mission: first one into the left stable as in Powerpyx's video and a "bonus" struggle into the right stable (it's on the right as soon as you go in). So you'll be able to get the achievement even if you miss one struggle.

Struggle #9 happened for me outside of the red barn. Just an FYI for others.

This achievement and the chain smoker achievement are not unlocking for me. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks

There are only 10 Struggles. I found a guide that works way better because all mementos and heroic actions are shown at once. For the Ambush struggle, I got confused at first but you have to provide overwatch for Pierson first.

These Heroic Actions involve saving an ally by shooting the enemy which they are in a struggle with. When an ally becomes engaged in a struggle, a red/white marker with a target on it will appear by them. When this appears, you will need to promptly reach your ally and kill the enemy before he kills your ally. The room for error with these struggles is either leaving it too long to reach them, or accidentally shooting your ally therefore be cautious with your aim. The missions that contain these "Heroic Actions" are as follows:

  • 2 in D-Day
  • 1 in Operation Cobra
  • 2 in Collateral Damage
  • 1 in Death Factory
  • 1 in Hill 493
  • 1 in Battle of the Bulge
  • 1 in Ambush
  • 1 in The Rhine

Please refer to the video for all locations of "Heroic Actions", credit to PowerPyx.

It may be difficult to save the second ally in the Ambush mission. After you get to the sniper nest and successfully cover Pearson for the first time, you will then have to go through the barracks to the next position. This is where the attack should take place. Its main difference is that it is not scripted, like all the previous ones, and it can easily not happen + the control save occurs at the most inconvenient moment, when you either no longer have time to save your ally, or the attack never happens. And you have to go through the mission again. My advice: exit with a save after successfully covering Pearson and, in case of failure, close the game through the options button from the main console menu, set the difficulty to minimum, run ahead of your allies, preferably straight into the house, try not to kill anyone and wait for the attack. I did this 3 times, and it took me about 10 attempts before I decided to use this tactic.
