How to unlock the Gabriel's Sword achievement in Dying Light - Definitive Guide

For this achievement you must find and use a blueprint that adds the Burning element to a sword or khopesh weapon.

It may be possible to find this type of blueprint earlier in the game, but there is a guaranteed method later after you get to the Old Town area: you will get the Angel Sword blueprint as a quest reward for the sidequest called Troll, which is the last in a chain of sidequests involving Rupert the gunsmith. The first sidequest in this chain is appropriately named Rupert the Gunsmith, and you can obtain it from Fidan immediately after talking to him in the University as part of the main storyline in the quest called Higher Education.

After obtaining the blueprint, use it on a sword or kopesh to unlock the achievement. If you don't have one of the required weapons, you should be able to buy one from a vendor by this point in the game. You might have to check a few different vendors as their inventory changes and appears to be semi-random.

So, in summary:
1. Follow the main storyline until you reach the Old Town area and get the Higher Education quest.
2. At the end of the Higher Education quest, you will meet a character named Fidan at the University. After talking to him the first time as part of the main quest, he will have a sidequest called Rupert the Gunsmith.
3. Follow the chain of sidequests involving Rupert until they are completed, and obtain the Angel Sword blueprint as a reward.
4. Use the blueprint on a sword or kopesh to unlock the achievement.

Check to see if your achievement is stuck on "Done...Unlocking." The solution definitely works, so that could be the problem.

I think this only works for two handed swords and khopesh's. Wish the achievement would be this specific roll

Very glitchy achievement, just keep trying different variants of the swords and it should eventually unlock. Really annoying buying all the different sword types though. Oh, and I used Angel's Sword not Bad Ass.

I've tried three times with a khopesh and once with a sword and it still hasn't unlocked, very picky achievement it seems.

I had trouble unlocking this until I used Bad Ass with an Exceptional Egyptian Khopesh and it popped straight away. I'm guessing any Khopesh works but this variant did the trick for me.

When you reach Old Town, there will be a blueprint ready to pick up at a rooftop of a building. Just go to the location shown in the video below (credits go to Gaming Spite);

There will be a little orange chest on this rooftop, already opened. Pick up the blueprint, buy/find a sword or khopesh (you should be able to buy/find one at this point in the game, especially when your survival rank is 12 or higher) and use the blueprint on the weapon to modify it. The achievement should pop right away.

You can actually get this before getting to Old Town.

From the shop in the slums (I used the guy in the “Tower”) you can get the Standard-Issue Hellfire Blueprint and a Sword weapon (I used the Sipahi Saber).

The blueprint requires:
1x metal part
1x gauze
1x aerosol

If the shop isn’t selling it, just use the bed (one in the same room!) and when you wake up his stock will change.

I am unsure if there is a minimum required level for these items to appear but I was Survivor Rank 12 when I did this

This achievement is relatively simple; look through your list of weapon blueprints for a blueprint that adds a fire effect to your weapon (look at the icons at the top of the blueprint description on the right). Make sure it is a blueprint that is also compatible with either a sword or khopesh (curved sword), and then go collect any materials you need to craft it. When you have the materials, select the blueprint, and then select the weapon you want to enhance with the blueprint (make sure you select a sword or khopesh at this point). Any bladed weapon larger than a machete, as well as any fire blade blueprint, should allow you to get this achievement as soon as the blueprint screen closes and you see your fiery new blade.

The "Bad Ass" blueprint will add a fire mod to one of your melee weapons if you have the parts to craft one. However, for the trophy it has to be a sword or a khopesh that you add the effect to. Khopesh's are also swords which is why you're able to use them as well. There are also a few types of other swords, such as: The "Medieval Sword" and the "Bastard Sword". Just make sure the icon, is an image of a sword. The "Bad Ass" blueprint will also work on cleavers etc but you wont get the trophy if you put it on one of those. Swords and khopeshs can be bought from vendors or found in the open world in crates, cars etc. Once you have one, simply craft the "Bad Ass" in the blueprints menu and the trophy will unlock. Do note, there are other fire elemental blueprints but this one is being shown for the purpose of the Guide. Here is a visual walkthrough for the location of the blueprint:
