How to unlock the Popcorn achievement in Crysis 2 - Definitive Guide

I found this video helpful.

It shows you where the gun (X-43 MIKE) is in the Dark Heart chapter and what it looks like. If you can't hear the video for whatever reason, the important thing to note is that you can't replace ammo for the gun, so you want to take out as many bugs as you can with it to help conserve ammo.

Even after that, I didn't end up having quite enough to get 20 kills going forward, so once I ran out of ammo, I just hit a checkpoint, reloaded the level via chapter select, and ran back and repeated. It counted the kills I already had.

You will have a chance to pick up the gun again several chapters later in Masks Off, but if you want this as soon as you can get it, this is the way.

Does it also count if I kill the little aliens with the x43?

There are plenty of the x-43 Mike weapons in Masks Off to easily get this achievement.

you should note that you can obtain the achievement on that level the first time around. I was able to get it by killing all of the bugs and using as little as possible to kill the aliens.

This can be unlocked using the X-43 Mike weapon during the mission "Masks Off". Once Hargreave reveals himself in his chamber, look to his right side near where the doors opened. There should be what looks like a large gun inside of a vending machine, that's the X-43 Mike. There is also a second X-43 Mike on the first accessible rooftop after you jump off of the first building's roof (as you wind around to the right there's what looks to be a garage, take the stairs up and its on the ground in front of a big yellow structure). If you happen to miss both of those there is a 3rd on after you ride up both sets of elevators and have to make a run across the highway before it explodes, it is right near the beginning leaning alongside an ammo case. I would recommend using short bursts to conserve ammo and this MUST be done during the same play. If you die the counter simply reverts back to whatever previous count it had before. I believe the next level also has this weapon but "Masks Off" is the easier to get especially since there are enemies all around.

I don't know if "Masks Off" is after this or before it, but there is also one in the subway tunnel in the level "Dark Heart". I was using it for a while, even picked up some ammo for it somewhere.

Here's the X43 MINKE's location in 'Out of the Ashes': it's in the final greenhouse before you jump off the building. It's useful for the final battle, especially on supersoldier.

I did not do this during the same play thru. I killed 12 on my first play thru and 8 just by reloading the chapter.

You DO NOT HAVE TO do it in the same chapter. Got a bunch in Masks off didn't get the achievement. Picked one up in Out of the Ashes and got it. Don't mislead people.

The X43 MNKE right next to Hargreave's "tomb" after he reveals himself to you should be enough, I picked up that gun and had a few shots left when this popped. Remember to conserve ammo, always go for the Cephs face and fire in bursts. When you get down to street level there are swarms of Ceph around so getting it is not a problem. Don't shoot the Brutes just the grunts. Use another weapon on the grunt because you'll end up using too much ammo

You'll come across this gun [X-43 MIKE] multiple times during the campaign. Here's what it looks like:

Here are a few spots where you can find the gun:

  • When working your way through the subway, it'll be on the ground in the middle of loads of ammo. This is just before you blow the rubble up to make a new path and with a fair few Swarm CEPH running about.
  • When you finally meet Hargreaves and he reveals himself, walk into his room and look in the machine next to him on his right. The gun will be there.
  • Later on after meeting Hargreave's, you'll finally make it onto the bridge after going up 2 lifts. Walk past the destroyed truck on your left, over the small barrier and it'll be on the floor next to the ammo crate.
  • After the collapsed bridge scene and you finally make it to land again. The gun will be on the floor to your left just behind the APC.
  • When making your way to Central Park you'll get split up from the gang when your vehicle gets destroyed. Work your way past the initial group of CEPH and head into the building. Get in the lift which will take you to the next floor. When you leave the lift, look to your left and the gun will be on the ground next to the fallen vending machine.
  • Later on, continuing from the point above, you'll need to descend the building you're in. Once you jump out of it you'll be on a rooftop and across on the other building below, you'll see 2 small greenhouses. In front of the one on the right hand side is a stair case leading up into a bigger destroyed greenhouse. In here, next to the ammo crate on the bottom floor, is the gun.
  • During the Central Park mission, you'll come to a part early on when the whole area will be covered with CEPH. Once you've passed them, you'll go up some rounded marble like stairs which has a dome in the middle. Kill 2 CEPH at the top and head toward your objective. You'll see 2 trailers on the edge of the cliff to your right. The sliver one is slightly open and has a barrel inside. Shoot the barrel to blow it open and inside will be the gun. This is in the same area as the last Souvenir.

You should have no trouble getting 20 kills with this gun. Just use it until the ammo runs out and then pick it up later on and finish off the remaining kills. Your best bet is to use single fire shots at the normal CEPH. It should take about 3 to 4 hits to kill with just 4 bullets (unless you get a headshot). Don't waste the ammo on the Tank CEPH though, as they still take a lot to kill, so its a waste of ammo.

We load mission 9, and at the very beginning we see weapons scattered on the floor. We approach the very last one (it is very large), take the cartridges from the box and go through the mission only with this weapon.

If you didn’t manage to kill 20 enemies in Chapter 9, there will be another cannon in the “Without Masks” chapter - on the right in the glass cabinet in the room with “Cinderella”
