How to unlock the Mosh Pit achievement in Crackdown 2 - Definitive Guide

The quickest and simplest way i found of getting this achievement is during the tutorial section at the start of a new game.When you collect the grenades for the first time to use for blowing up all the freaks in the pit what i did was jumped into the pit first myself ,before even using the grenades, and kept pressing the melee "B" button and the achievement popped,EASY!!!

I found this solution works the best, because with a high strength agent you are going to kill or disentigrate (in the case of freaks) what you hit in 1 swing, and dead bodies can fly erratically while bouncing them on the ground with the sign method. With 1 or less strength you can hit scroungers multiple times before they die and its so packed in that little pit it's near impossible to miss. Just move toward a crowd of freaks between each swing and don't try to swing if you are facing and within 5 feet of a wall.

Now, to get back into the training area you need to go to "main game" then move your selection up to the campaign row and scroll left or right to an empty campaign save slot. Then go up one more time to the agent selection row and scroll over till you select a totally blank, new agent slot.
Fire it up and you'll be back in training. I suggest "tough" challenge level. Freaks won't die super fast to your punches and they won't hurt you badly enough before you manage to pop it at this difficulty setting because the ones in the pit do fight back.

Don't forget to add that all the enemies in the pit don't lose health when you hit them good solution worked first time.

Easiest way, I tried others and couldn't get it to work since I was so over powered.

...I get the feeling this achievement is difficult to attain?

Well, using this method, I just attained it within ten minutes of play. That's how good this solution is. +

Good guide. I think it should also be noted that it doesn't matter if the freaks hit you, your chain still keeps going. As long as you don't miss when you throw a kick or a punch, it should unlock after 20.

Thank you to the first comment for suggesting that we select the "tough" mentality. I tried it with the default one and died 5 times in a row. Got it first try with tough.

Easiest solution I think... Get a street sign, kill a cell agent and then keep hitting the dead body over and over again. The achievement will pop after the 20th successful hit on the cell agents dead body. No need hitting 20 different enemies just 1 dead body and 1 street sign is all that is needed.

For the person(s) who has voted negatively please state why in the comments.

It's weird we can't see any of the comments. Going to try your solution tonight and hope it works as I've tried everything else. I know I'm nailing more than 20 with melee but can't get the achiev to pop for some reason.

I don't know what to say, worked first time for me and many others. Don't believe the achievement is bugged. I know for sure it works as me and my friends did it to get the achievements. Also other people have said it works aswel, can't really help much more, sorry.

It MUST be done in a chain, meaning you have to hit the person 20 consecutive times without missing. That would explain the down votes, since people obviously missed and assumed they should have the achievement unlocked.

Great solution and it worked on my third attempt. Thanks.

Works fine. Might be worth mentioning you have to tap B to melee with the sign

For this achievement you need to chain together 20 attacks without messing up. I found the easiest weapon to do this is the Helicopter Blade. When you get inserted tactically just blow up the helicopter that drops off your vehicle and grab a blade. I believe these have the longest melee range of any weapon in the game. The head into unity heights at night and start swinging the blade. I found that the location on the map was jam packed with freaks consistently.

This is impossible without a melee weapon because the agent will often kick or punch arbitrarily into empty space when completely surrounded by freaks, which is what kept happening to me.

Grab a melee weapon, stand still, swing into a group of freaks, then move forward slightly and stop before swinging again. If the agent is holding the weapon over his shoulder he does an upward swing instead of a flat horizontal sweep, which obviously has high potential to miss. Moving forward slightly resets the melee animation and will cause him to do a flat horizontal sweep every time, which is ideal for this stupid achievement.

The easiest way to do this is to grab any sign off of the city streets during the night, run for a bit to get a bunch of freaks to chase you and head into a sizable group of freaks and MOSH MOSH MOSH (melee/press "B"). Twenty consecutive hits (without misses) later, you'll be done. It'll take literally ten seconds.

For this achievement you need to successfully land 20 melee attacks in a row, now while the achievement description says they need to be hand-to-hand, to put it simply; they don't. You can pick up a road sign/street light pole or something similar and use that, it's a lot easier and will save you a little hassle!

Of course you can actually use hand-to-hand combat to get the achievement, it's best to find yourself a good group of freaks and then steadily use the melee attack (B), you have a few seconds to line yourself up so don't worry, but like I said using a road sign or something similar is much easier.

Once you reach the Strength skill to level 2. You will be able to pick up broken lamp posts and street signs to use as weapons. Find a huge group of Freaks and start hitting them with the sign. As long as they don't knock you down the chain will keep going. It is okay if they hit you as that doesn't restart the chain.
