How to unlock the Insider Trading achievement in F.E.A.R. 3 - Definitive Guide

This is what worked for me.

All Leapers (No weapon, Axe, Pipe, Wrench, Crowbar, Bombers, *Knife)

All Armacham Soldiers (Briggs SMG, G3A3 AR, EL-10 CAS, Sniper, Riot Shield) - Ghost Soldiers in Interval 8 count toward the above soldiers based on their weapons.

Phase Caster (Quick blue guy who summons lots of soldiers) * Must take his blue shields down first. * Note - Some people have reported that they had to possess the one at the end of Interval 2 and then one later in the game for it to register.

Phase Commander (Big blue guy) * Must take his blue shields down first.

All but one of these guys can be possessed in a split screen match of Soul King on Recruit with a dummy controller.

* I havent found any of the Knife Leapers on Soul King at the time Im writing this. You can find them in the Store level though in abundance.

You need to get their shields down. Or you can just possess them in Soul King and they dont have shields.

soul king only throws in two types of enemies at a time, so i was wondering if you could make a match, posses the enemies a couple of times and then quit out and repeat... i don't know if it saves.

I cannot find any knifer throwers in solo. Fucking bullshit. I try to be Fettel with a second controller hosting and I can't pick the mission because it would have to start as a new game.

They're in the store mission, they're the only ones that throw stuff at you. It's in the area where you walk across the ladders to the different shelves.

Yea, I kept reloading at the part where you see Alma on fire, which is RIGHT before that part. Didn't get it when I possessed one of them, then forgot I had to possess the suicide guys too. Got it after that.

Good solution, I probably did most of my possessions in Soul King but I did mix it up a little with a few campaign levels and got it without trying too hard. It was my last achievement and sure enough, the last one I needed was the Knife Leaper.

The problem I have is that I don´t know how to possess.

EDIT: New to the series and did not know you had to first unlock the brother called Fettel who can do this. I believe it should be mentioned in the guide. Spent maybe 30 minutes trying to figure it out.

first solution, so hopes this helps.
jagermeister tx has it right on the money on the types of enemies you have to possess.
i went to interval 5 where you have every kind of enemy that you need to possess **except the knife throwing Leaper** which you can get on interval 3. play on recruit, you will run into the leapers shortly after the beginning and in the middle waiting for the gate to open and every kind of Armacham soldier from the Briggs SMG to the sniper and riot shield guy.
you will also have a Phase caster in the middle and the Phase commander at the end of the level.
***for me at least i can confirm that i didnt have to go to interval 2 to possess that Phase caster. just did the one on interval 5 and went to interval 3 to possess the knife thrower and achievement unlocked***

hopes this helps you save some time
