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

This one is really simple with the following strategy.

1. Pre-match: Customize one of your load outs to have the "Camouflage" Special ability (the default class w/ Camouflage will probably work too, but the custom class gives you the best odds). Equip the "Resourceful" mod & ideally the "Specialist Training" mod (you will have to level up a few times in order to unlock the 2nd one).

2. Join a Public match, the more people (usually) the better. Make sure to select you custom "Camouflage" class from step 1! The camo ability is key to making it super easy.

3. The 1st pest round comes approx. around rd 7-9. Up until this point you will want to have your special meter full & your Camouflage ability ready to use. You will hear an audio cue both as a quote from your character mentioning something about flies not belonging here or a bad feeling or something similar, as well as (this is more noticeable) a loud buzzing of flies marking start of a pest round.

As soon as they start spawning in you want to activate the camouflage ability, while also finding a good spot to camp in case the round is still going on after your ability runs out. The 1st pest round is quick so you won't have to really worry (and can be done by simply camping, especially w/ teammates), but just always be aware of your surroundings, use the audio to alert you of danger (the game even has an audio alert system to tell you there's a zombie out of your view closing in), & again try to end the rd before your camo runs out but if it does just make sure you are in a spot they won't spawn on out of your view or behind you.

4. Repeat for the next 2 pest rounds. Always save you camouflage in between pest rds unless you absolutely have to use it. They vary in frequency but approx every 4-7 rds is a pest rd (not 100% sure) so you want to make you the ability is primed.


Tips:
-Though I can't give specific locations, if you experiment w/ leaving a gate closed, you can probably use them as good camping spots where you know the spawns are only in front of you
- The Heart Power Up is a huge help. It not only fully fills your ability meter, but it overcharges it as well, effectively doubling the time of the Camouflage ability. (This is why you want the "Resourceful" mod on to increase your chances of getting them.)
- The Specialist Training mod is also extremely helpful as it decreases the required energy to use Camo, making it more assured you'll have it ready for the next pest rd.

Just did it solo, quite easy. I bought the Stamina and Reload Perks, and I even actually got hit by a regular zombie that popped out of the ground and still got the achievement. So it seems you just can't get hit by one the pest zombies.

I got surprised on round 5 and hit. So I thought at first I had to start over. But I decided to go for it anyway to do the 3 rounds after that and it work. Read the description again and realized that it's any 3 rounds in a row. You could even do it on 20+. Thought would be worth mentioning in case anybody else half read the description.

Jack in the Boxes do work on pest rounds, I did this solo while going for the 10 bomber and 10 wustling charge kills, just use the invis if they're ever close, but you should be able to shoot them all no problem without getting hit.

Good solution, going to add a couple tips that worked for me on solo:

-Buy the increased weapon damage, reload speed blitzes (also sprint speed if you got extra jolts) asap
-Try to upgrade a couple guns (I had MG15, STG, PPSH upgraded)

The leaving a gate closed method worked very well for me. I left the Lab gate closed. I opened the gate to the Courtyard (where one of the weapon box locations is) then went inside into the lab that way. I proceeded to the lab gate that I left closed and camped right there as the only way for the pests to come at you are up that aisle.

Personally, I did not activate camo right away. I killed a few enemies first, then when seeing the first hint of a dicey situation (multiple pests coming at once) I hit the camo. At this point you need to move around a bit to find the spawning pests and kill them as quickly as possible so new ones spawn. At this point, even on round 15, you should be able to kill most/all of them before camo runs out. If not, make sure to run back to the closed gate before the camo runs out so you can gun them down as they run up the aisle.

Also, do not reload unless you absolutely have to. I started with the MG15, used the whole clip, then switched weapons. Did the same thing with the STG then switched again to the PPSH. At this point I would just reload the PPSH if needed since SMGs reload the fastest.

Hopefully these tips help.

This is probably easiest if you have a team of 2-4 with the person wanting the achievement having camouflage and everyone else having frontline. Each pest wave (every fifth round. 5, 10, 15, etc.) activate your camouflage, and if the round isn't over then have everyone activate their frontline 1 at a time.

Note: I very easily got this solo by using camo exclusively on pest rounds and just training around the hole next to the command door with an M1 Garand.

heya guys ... so this achievement can be pretty tricky but i made a video guide below that is pretty easy to follow ... all you got to do is run camouflage , then when the pest rounds start just pick them off from a distance and if they get too close or too many of them use your camouflage

Not a solution as such but just wanted to quickly state that this has to be done in 3 consecutive rounds not 3 rounds altogether but it can still be earned if you fail a round.

For instance i completed round 5+10 but failed 15 then continued on and completed 20-25+30 and the achievement unlocked.

Pest waves occur on every 5th wave. They move faster than regular zombies and their presence when nearby is made apparent by the sound of flies. The best method for achieving this is to use the Camouflage Special. When activated, Camouflage will make you invisible for a brief period of time so that you're able to go around and kill the zombies without them seeing you. You do not have to complete 3 consecutive Pest waves, however it's obviously easiest achieved in the earliest possible rounds. The earliest you can get the trophy would be after completing wave 5, 10 and 15 successfully without being hit.

This trophy can be completed alone. To do this, you need to survive the 5th, 10th and 15th wave of flies without a single injury. Flies come every 5 waves.

If it’s difficult to do in solo, then go to multiplayer, take camouflage as the main ability and a consumable material (taken in boxes that are given for completing orders) Uberladen (heart), which charges special abilities above the norm (red circle around the ult). Since on the 5th wave the camouflage will definitely be enough for your party members to kill all the flies while you sit out in the bushes)), but on the 10th and 15th there may no longer be enough charge for the entire wave. Therefore, before the 10th and 15th waves, we fill the ability bar with the help of Uberladen and patiently wait for our partners to destroy everyone.
If I attacked zombies using camouflage, then sometimes this camouflage stopped working, I didn’t understand what was causing it, most likely my crooked hands.

when we hear the buzzing of flies, we turn on the camouflage mode and wait for the end of the wave, if you were killed but resurrected by your allies, then the trophy will be counted, but if you killed the whole team, then no, the trophy is not cumulative.
