Go for the Limbs!

Go for the Limbs!

Dismember 500 limbs from living enemies.

How to unlock the Go for the Limbs! achievement in Dead Space 3 - Definitive Guide

To earn this achievement you must sever 500 limbs from the enemy Necromorphs or Human Soldiers.

The removeable limbs are :

Head
Arms (Left/Right)
Legs (Left/Right)

There are some great weapons for this including the Plasma Cutter, Machine Gun, Ripper etc. And, obviously, some don't work so well such as the shotgun and flamethrowers. You'll figure out what works for you pretty quickly.

I hit this achievement in Chapter14. Just aim for the kneecaps to sever legs on Necromorphs that move fast, or arms on soliders who can shoot you. Shouldn't take you too long to obtain.

Do we know if post-mortem dismemberment works (stomps and kinesis limb-pulls)?

Just check on your stats, but at release, they didn't count.

I had the same problem with my progress not counting or resetting when I was not the host in co-op. Progress counted fine as the host.

Seems the counter for this and many other achievements is glitchy when you're player 2 in co-op :S I keep losing progress on limbs and fodder axe kills and it's beginning to annoy me! shock

Think I can only really get it if I host instead or play solo, my co-op partner got his 1000 limbs achievement ages ago and I've not even hit 500.

To help in getting this sooner I recommend you melee or stomp all dead creatures and soldiers you come across in the game even ones you kill yourself. Basically keep doing this melee-stomp till all the limbs come off every creature soldier you find.

The most efficient and quickest way of killing necromorphs is to dismember their limbs. This should come naturally during your first playthrough.

In Chapter 13, do not kill the snow monster, but shoot off its limbs; they will grow back endlessly.

For those who are going to get platinum, there is absolutely NO NEED to farm this trophy, just by completing the game you will receive the trophy in your first playthrough.
