How to unlock the The Collector achievement in Crysis 2 - Definitive Guide

This is achieved in multiplayer. When you kill enemies, they drop a dog tag. It is indicated by a tiny beam of light pointing upwards. All you have to do is to walk over the corpse to collect it. Dog tags don't have to be unique, any 20 will do.

can you kill the same player and keep getting dog tags or does it have to be 20 unique players

This is kinda interesting since the campaign you can pick up dog tags as well.

I got it before I started the singleplayer campaign. This achievement came naturally after several matches so I didn't notice if several dogtags from the same player count.

The same player can be killed several times to gain several dog tags.

This solution is only for those people who have had this glitch out on them and not unlock after picking up 20 dog tags in mutliplayer. I take no credit for this solution, as it was suggested to me by somebody else, and well documented to work for certain other games. Similar examples can be seen here:

Solution for Can it really be that simple? In Army of TWO: The 40th Day
and
Solution for Mister NO it all In Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

PLEASE NOTE: This will reset all of your multiplayer statistics. So if you are still working towards other multiplayer achievements, finish those first!

The exact steps that I followed were:
1. From the dashboard, move your profile onto a USB memory stick
2. Load the game. As soon as the EA logo comes onscreen, remove the USB stick. This will prompt you to reinsert the stick, but don't do this yet.
3. Press Start, and then choose multiplayer. From here go to Operative Status then Service Record. Go over to the General tab and you should see all of your stats reset, including "Dog tags collected" at 0.
4. At this point, put the memory stick back in the xbox.
5. I then played 4 consecutive games to collect 20 dog tags, checking that the count was going up correctly after every match. The achievement popped exactly when I picked up my 20th dog tag in game.

I hope this helps those of you who have had this glitch on them. Before this, I had collected over 400 dog tags without the achievement popping.

Please let me know if there are any questions or clarifications needed regarding any of this. Good luck everyone!

Great! Glad it worked for you too. I edited step 4 to just clarify that you've got to put the USB stick back in at this point. Thanks for confirming that for me.

Hello,
For me, After Step 4, my profil si at 0G, it's normal ? My stats ingame reset so it's ok with that.
I try but The achievement doesn't pop when i collect 20 tags.
(If i disconnect/reconnect my profil my GS come back but the game reload my bad ingame stats).
Any ideas ?? :)

I was in a similar position with Try Me glitching out but this solution worked perfectly. I'd suggest putting this solution up for that achievement too. And thanks again! :)

I just went back and verified that my profile shows 0G as well when the memory stick is out. However, once I put it back in it step 4 (and the warning to reinsert the memory stick goes away), then my gamerscore comes back to what it should be.

If you don't have your gamerscore back after Step 4, then maybe your xbox isn't recognizing the memory stick for some reason. Mine does that occasionally. You could try reinserting it again. The key is going to be getting it to re-recognize your profile, so that it can save your new stats.

If you still can't get that to work, send me a message and we can try to walk through it and see what's going on.

To collect a Dog Tag you need to kill the opposite team. When one is downed by you they'll drop their Dog Tags, which is shown by a vertical light from the floor. Kill 20 enemies and collect their Tags to unlock this achievement. These cannot be gained by playing in a Private Match.

Please refer to 'Modern Art' if you need some more information on the Dog Tags.

As soon as you kill an enemy in a multiplayer game, an army token will appear in its place (Necessary to gain tactical advantages (Orbital Strike, Improved Radar, etc.), on this map).
