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

The Microwave Cannon (or X-43 MIKE as it's called in-game) is a close-range, high-damage weapon that is particularly effective against Ceph.

The earliest opportunity that you have to find on is in Mission 9, "Dark Heart", in a subway tunnel shortly before reaching the mission's main objective. The MIKE comes with 500 ammo and kills quickly, however you can not replenish its ammo at ammo boxes.

The small, insect-like creatures scattering about through the subway tunnels in this mission count, so kill as many of those as you can with the MIKE and otherwise keep it on hand for Ceph Stalkers. You can get all 20 kills needed within a single MIKE.

Cumulative achievements don't exactly play nice with checkpoints.

Currently bugged for me too. Got to 95% and then it just stopped tracking. I've quit the game, turned the console off and on, restarted checkpoint - all the usual stuff - but nothing. The stats in-game say I have 97 kills with it.

Hopefully it just pops randomly whilst I'm doing my supersoldier playthrough.

UPDATE: Like a lot of people, I deleted all data (local and cloud) then started the game again, played all the way to Dark Heart in one session (you can fly through on the easiest difficulty, takes between 1 and 2 hours). Got the weapon, got 20 kills, then the achievement unlocked.

This achievement glitched for me at 80%. After getting all other achievements, I did the following:
1. Delete save data locally and from cloud.
2. Uninstall/reinstall Crysis 2.
3. Rush through the campaign on the easiest difficulty until reaching 'Dark Heart'.
4. Pick-up the X-43 and shoot the little insect things in the tunnel.
5. Kill all Ceph enemies after this point (minus the tank enemies) without dying or reloading checkpoints.

Doing this caused my tracker to resume after my 17th kill and the achievement popped shortly after. It took about an hour or so for me to rush straight to this level.

I barely got this to pop without having to delete all my save data and restart the entire game, but disclaimer, this will only work if the tracker had just stopped, and not too long after.

When you're going for the achievement, keep an eye on the tracker, whenever it stops tracking kills, delete the save from the console only, then go back into the game and make sure it downloads the cloud save. You should be back quite a bit, to wherever the save was last backed up to the cloud. Then pick up the MIKE gun again, and kill a whole bunch more, the on-screen tracker should be counting again, (the one in the game). When it reaches 20 again, the achievement popped.

It may not be necessary but I also never restarted a checkpoint or died during this whole process. This achievement is very glitchy but this may be helpful for some people, like it was for me.

The first cannon is found in the Heart of Darkness chapter, after you find Hargriff's soldiers near one of the corpses. Don't kill the bugs before you get the gun, save your ammo.

The second is next to the last souvenir, the chapter "A Walk in the Park".

I advise you to do it on an easy difficulty level in the mission “from the ashes” and before this mission do not use this weapon anywhere else (this mission, the penultimate one, will be after the bridge collapse where you will fall into the water when a taxi car falls on you. The mission begins with going ashore there you need to get into the tank, to the left of it there will be the 1st cannon and an electric one with a shotgun, then we go up the elevator and go out to the left at the drink machine lying on its side, we jump onto the roof with a self-propelled gun) on the right along the stairs we go up to the top next to 3rd cartridges will be lying around. A total of 1500 shells in a mission where only aliens are enemies) My trophy didn’t count, I’ll have to replay the entire game by deleting the saves, so it’s better to do this trophy at once, as it’s buggy. No matter how many times you replay the trophy, the statistics do not give 200+ kilos... so do it at once
