How to unlock the Soldier of Misfortune achievement in Far Cry 2 - Definitive Guide

You will need to rank up to at least Level 19 to receive enough diamonds to unlock all weapons ( higher if you have reset your diamonds at any point )

To make things a little easier, I've listed the number of weapon kills (Maintenance Manual) , executions (Operations Manual) & headshot/ Multikills (Bandoliers) you will need to achieve, in the same order as that found on the in-game Player Statistics page, and also included the class and level for each weapon.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: According to Timutimu the Carl-G multikills is meant to be 200, I can't recall as it was a long time ago now, funny that
no-one else picked up on it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd Edit : I've changed Carl-G back to 100 multi-kills after several people have reconfirmed what I had originally. Thanks guys.

Do headshots and executions stack with kills? Or do you have to do headshots, executions then standard kills separately?

@ Timutimu - have you done any other multikills before ? I can't remember back that far but I think it counted the number of instances you killed multiple opponents not the number of kills you got. Again it was a while ago so let me know how you go or have gone with the rest of the multikills

I can confirm that you need 100 multi-kills with the Carl-G (Not 200 warning) as I got my bandolier manual after getting 200 kills on two opponents.

Also, there is a slight mistake with the ranks. You need to get up to rank 19 to have enough diamonds to unlock every single weapon because you get your first diamond at rank 2 and you need 18 total diamonds. Of course you could finish all the manuals on one class and reset it to get your diamonds back but you also derank one level if you do that.

Resetting of diamonds is a more or less random thing, or at least that is what my group observed while boosting. If you can make it happen reliably, please do share! wink

this achievement took me 16 hours. I was running 5 xboxs so I could do 3v2 matches and kill 3 people at once. I would get about 200 kills a game but sometimes 100 depending on the weapon. 9550 kills overall.

I got this done in a weekend with 3 Xboxes, 1 copy of the game, 1 XBL Gold membership and 1 48 hour XBL Gold code.

XSX - Main account with XBL Gold
XOS - Account 1, Home console (shares game and Gold)
X360S - Account 2, Original game download, 48 hour code

Slowest was 250 multi kills with the grenade launcher and the flamethrower, so I left those to the end.

I agree with this taking about 30 hours if you use the de-rank glitch, triple box, and use the USB trick to get a custom map in ranked. I started boosting this about 3 days ago, but that day and the day after I had work so I only had a few hours afterward to work on it. I was hard at it yesterday though as I was off, and I'm close enough to think I'll be done with it later today after I get up from sleeping or very dang close at least and finish it up tomorrow.

A kill is when you down an opponent without a headshot. Then they are down, waiting to be revived (if you didn't do to much damage already). When they are down, you'll notice them wiggling, you can execute them by simply shooting them. Headshots are separate and do not count as kills. As they outright kill, you can't follow up with an execution. Multikills stack with kills and the weapons who need multikills don't need headshots or executions so that is not that bad!

This achievement will not take you 18 hours to complete. It will take you about 70 hours and over 10,000 kills because weapons headshots do not count as kills. Multi kills are also extremely glitchy and don't properly count. This is the time for boosting with two people and you aren't screwing around, If you aren't averaging 102 kills a 15 min match with the two other people and aren't min maxing, you're easily looking at 85-95 hours. The people above me falsely claiming they did this in a little as weekend used an achievement unlocker and are giving you an extremely false impression of just how horrible this is. For instance, a single flamethrower kill will on average takes around 14 seconds. Of course this method involves the kill revive method which means another person as to back up and forth for the entire time to revive the person dying, then when the person dying actual dies they have to run back from spawn. For other guns it takes bare minimum from spawning to death is 9 seconds, the people spawning in have to fire and constantly shift spawns after every death, even at an optimum pace at 9 seconds a kill that's 30 hours if you never slip up or make a mistake. That's you doing the same thing for 30 hours, kill after kill with these guns. Of course that's just for you're killing time you have two other partners who need to kill as well.

The person above is making it sound way harder than it actually is, if you work efficiently and double box (doing the multikills with someone else - or just triple box it by yourself) it should take around 30 hours.

Make sure to use the USB method to be able to use a custom map in ranked games (see 'Th3 Dude 17' guide below). This method will save you dozens of hours so it should be the top solution imo.

Also I am not sure how they were getting only 105 kills in a 15 min match? You can easily get around 200 kills a match if you kill someone on the opposing team and then have someone from their team revive them after they go in a downed state. If they are referring to executions (where you can't revive) you can still get around 150+ executions/ headshots a game if you have 2 enemies on the opposing team. I double boxed these steps and was getting 85-90 executions/ headshots with just 1 enemy, so if you do it with 2 enemies you will definitely get more than the 102 mentioned above.

Kills track and I never had any issues with them saving, the only issues with can happen is when you disconnect from the server mid-game (in this case you will lose the progress made in that game), however I only got 2-3 of these during the whole grind so its not as common as some people are mentioning. Just make sure to plug in your ethernet cable in both your 360 and One when doing it.

So yeah, all in all just use USB method to get custom maps on ranked and double box as much as you can and this achievement isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

Fist, search for the custom map "Boosting v2" that I created and download it. Now when you go to host a map and you are at the map selection screen, you need to unplug either a USB drive or memory card, and then plug it back in. It doesnt matter where the map is saved, it can even be on the hard drive. You will now be able to boost the manuals in a RANKED game on a CUSTOM map!

All you do is play Uprising or Capture the Diamond and spend the full 15 minutes killing. Playing against 1 person you can get up to 85 kills per game but 2 accounts will double that (plus you need multikills anyway). Now the people getting killed will need to turbo Right Trigger. If you dont, then there will be a brief respawn invulnerability. Now just sit by the ammo boxes and kill as fast as you can.

I have a made a spreadsheet so you can fill in your current stats and estimate how much time you have left to boost. (you must save the file if you want to edit it).

you need to use Xbox Skully's solution for how to use it. I should have put how to do it in mine. All you need is a USB drive or a memory card. When you are at the map selection screen, unplug it and plug it back in and the map will show up on the list. The map can be saved on your Hard Drive and it still works.

Pretty much make a custom map and save it on a usb. Then go to create a ranked match a go to map selection there unplug the usb and plug it back in and your customs map will be there.

Thumbs up from me (and 5 stars for the map). The negative voters should be taken out to your map and shot! They are just jealous that an achievement that took them 200+ hours to get legit can now be done in 25 hours. These people don’t belong on TA.

I got this achievement in 1 weekend (with a 48 hour gold code) using your map and Skully’s method. This should be the top solution as it can save people who just want the achievement so much time.

Yeah, the random spawns can result in friendly fire deaths, but you do want them to spawn close together for multi kills.

I did find IED kills would sometimes detonate a nearby ammo crate, which would set off the other ammo crates, and there was nowhere on the map for me to hide :) But with all the benefits of using your map, I just found this funny when it happened.

To achieve this you must first unlock all the guns and get executions, headshots and kills to get the manuals. With explosives you need to get multikills to rank it up.

This achievement requires hundreds of kills, executions, multikills, and head shots.
-Kills are anytime you've put down another player but they are still able to be revived.
- Executions happen when you shoot a player who is down and waiting to be revived.
- Headshots are kills that take down a player and leave them unable to be revived. Headshots do not count towards "Kills".
-Multikills require you to kill 2 or more players at once.
This is my method for getting this achievement somewhat quickly. You will need 2 xbox's and 2 copies of the game, or a friend who will join your match and then walk away until you are done boosting.
First download the Renavista map. It is a user created map, you'll find it in the "approved for ranked play" list. Use your main account to set up a custom match of Uprising. Set the map as renavista, respawn time 5sec, and turn off voting. Launch the match and then search for a custom game of Uprising with your secondary account. Join the match, usually your game will be the only one listed. As soon as the dummy joins, force launch the game. If anyone else ends up in your lobby you need to ban them. A quick force launch avoids you making someone sit through the loading screens only to be banned when the match starts.
You will be the APR captain, run across the bridge connecting the two sides of the river. You will find the your dummy standing in the computer room. Kill them and then stand near their body until they respawn. If you face the computers and look to your right you will see an ammo crate. The dummy will have respawned just past this crate near the windows overlooking the river. Run over to him, kill him and stand next to the body until they respawn, which will be back at the first spot. As long as you stay in the area of the kill, the respawn point will alternate between these two spots. If you run around to much they will respawn somewhere else You just need to run between the 2 points and get as many kills as you can in the 15 minutes you have. I can get about 30-40 kills every match. It depends a lot on which weapon you are boosting. Some are very slow to reload(dart rifle) or very slow to kill(flare gun) or they may jam and break after a dozen shots.
This will also help you level up fast. You should get to rank 20+ by the time you are done.
To get the multikills, I like to use this same map. Get 2 boosting partners. Have them join your custom match. You should be alone on the APR team. Meet at "point A" on the bridge. There are two ammo boxes in the middle- you'll need these. The dying team should stand by a wall so that when you miss with your rocket or grenade it still explodes near them.If everyone is quick you can get 20-40 multikills per round. When on the dying team always fire your weapon when you respawn, you are invulnerable for awhile after you respawn and shooting will clear your "shields". (Thanks xxspazemxx for pointing that out to me.)
If you have 2 360's you can do this with one other person. You may get slightly fewer kills per round due to running 2 controllers, but you will get more kills per hour.
Last Bastion is also very good for Multi-kills.

Man I hated doing that MGL-140. Breaks after like 5 or 6 shots =L
Isnt the Last Bastion map the smallest map? Is renavista easier to run around in?

When I kill a player and then execute them by shooting them in the head, do I get all three or only 1 for the kill?

You'll have to do the Head shots separately. It would be cool if they would count towards executions, or a least count as a kill.

I thought you needed 3 people to boost, but you talk about just having two people boosting in this guide. Does that work somehow?

^ MGL trick isn't working for me. When I fire the last 2 grenades he just tries to reload, same when I get more ammo.

I know what you mean about the MGL, total crap.
Last Bastion seems like the most popular map, so anytime I play on it I get people joining my match, its easy to ban players but sometimes they will slip in right as I force launch. I feel like a jerk when I ban people right after they've sat through all the loading screens, so I try to avoid it if I can.
The respawn points on Renavista are very close together, and near a good kill spot with 2 ammo boxes. There aren't any ladders and it's a vey short jog to the meeting point.
If you are boosting alone on 2 xboxes it will switch between 2 spawn points that are basically right next to each other.

People say MGL-140 is the best weapon in the game, I disagree.

I did find a bug with MGL-140 which means you never have to reload - which saves quite a bit of time and reduces the number of jams. If you never fire the last grenade you never have to reload. For example, fire 2 grenades then grab more ammo. You will see you have 2 grenades left in the chamber and 2 extra. When you fire those last 2 grenades a bug means those 2 extra grenades appear in the chamber without reloading - but remember not to fire them until you pick up more ammo.

Headshots can be combined with Executions, same way Kills can be Combined with Executions. I found this out the hard way at the end of a match when the 100 kills and executions with a pistol I had been working on didn’t count as kills but counted as head shots. This will only work with weaker weapons where you have to double tap to get a head shot.

A friend and I have discovered a spawn trick for the map Last Bastion that only works in deathmatch. This solution eliminates the need for a third person to obtain kills efficiently, you will need a 3rd person for multi-kills.

While we were boosting normal weapon kills, we found we were only getting 16-18 kills per deathmatch, which is normal. But by using this method we were able to get at least 20-22 kills each game, this is substantial for an achievement that takes this amount of time. By using this method you gain an extra 4 kills a game, so in 4-5 games of using this method you have completed 6-7 if you were not.

So what you have got to do is actually VERY simple. Meet in the middle of the map, on top of the grates looking downstairs next to the ammo pile near the broken cart. Now before you start killing, break all 3 sides of the cart so it is just the bed and the wheel left. Then one of you takes a kill THEN (this is the important part) the killer hops up on to the wheel of the broken cart and faces towards the UFLL base/spawn.

THAT'S IT! It is amazingly simple to set up, and it's not difficult to do by any stretch of the imagination. After a kill is made the killer has to go to the cart, no matter what. Best practice is just to stay sitting on the wheel and your partner can just run into your field of vision after spawning. By using this method 95% of the time you will spawn on the first or second level of the map, effectively eliminating the towers, which is the main culprit for wasted time (I have yet to spawn in a tower using this method).

If anyone has any questions on how to use this method leave it in the comments below, or PM me!

This method has not been tested for efficiency regarding boosting multi-kills. You would still need a third person to boost multi-kills and it is unclear if the spawn trick would continue to work with two different people spawning.

Best of luck people, and happy boosting!

This is how to boost weapons on FC 2. Hope this helps. Here's the guide written by SIL3NCEikillyou:

The first thing you need to know about boosting this game is that you should you should do it in uprising. In deathmatch you will only get 15 exp per kill, but in uprising you'll get 30 everytime you kill the captain, and most of the time, the person you're killing should be the captain.

For these weapon kills, you will need to have x amount of kills, headshots, executions or multikills. Any time you injure a person so that he is 'down,' it counts as a kill. To do executions, you have to down the person and then shoot him further so that he cannot be healed... aka so that he actually dies. This can only be done in uprising or capture the diamond, where team members will actually be around to heal the person. In deathmatch, the person just dies automatically. Headshots, (obviously gotten by shooting the person in the head) will kill the person so that they can't be healed, and they will count neither as kills or executions. Headshots are only headshots. And though common sense would tell you that one shot in the head will kill the person every time, some guns take more than one shot. And finally, multikills only apply to the explosive weapons. You will need another person on the opposing team for multikills (preferrably a dummy so that you won't have to worry about exp for a third person).

Now for some details about how the spawning works in Far Cry 2. Each team in this game has a set area where they will spawn. The team spawn areas will be across the map from each other, and the host team always gets one side and the other players get the other. If you're boosting with just two people, you'll be spawning at the exact same spot at the beginning of each match. The only way your spawn point will change after that is if you get killed too close to the spawn point, if an enemy is in the spawn point, or if the spawn point is on fire... which does happen. If one of these is the case, you'll simply spawn at one of a few points close by the original spawn point.

The best way my boosting partner and I found to do the weapon kills was to play uprising on the Dirty Work map. No water to deal with, very few buildings cluttering the map, and there aren't multiple levels like in Last Bastion. Take turns every match working on kills. For the person being killed, all you will usually have to do the whole match will be to fire your weapon right when you spawn, which will get rid of your temporary invincibility. For the killer, you will have to run across the map to the other person's spawn area, and kill him as fast as you can. He'll die, respawn close by, and you can kill him again. In a couple matches, you will memorize the handful of places he will spawn and be killing him quickly.

Your killing strategy will be different for different weapons. The easiest weapons will be the snipers, because for the most part you'll be able to stand at a central point in your opponent's spawning area and just kill him each time he spawns. For weapons with less range, you'll have to run up to the person and do the shooting. And with multikills, make sure both enemies are standing together, weaken them if needed (because some explosives will not kill even with a direct hit) and kill them both. And for kills and kills only, you can also use a dummy to speed up the process by healing the person being killed so that the killer can kill him again right away. Having a turbo controller to turbo Y is great for this.

Another thing to note is that you should do executions before kills, as they always get you both kills and executions. This video, uploaded by KiNG Y0Y0, who was my boosting buddy, will show the process for each type of kill on the UFLL side of the map. When the other person is doing the killing, he'll have to run to the APR side which is just as simple as far as where the spawn points are.

Hope this helps!

This will take you the rest of your life if you tried legit. People still play online but the amount of weapons and types of kills needed would make this very difficult.

Consider cheating. I found the following method very productive:

1. 2 xboxes, 2 copies of the game, 1 turbo controller (for dummy account)
2. A friend to jump in for a couple of evenings (multikills only)
3. Ability to perform the "custom map in ranked match" glitch
4. A custom Uprising map which is small, has plenty of ammo crates, and a very small range of spawn points for both teams (either find one or create one for yourself)

You don't need a spreadsheet to work out kills etc, just look at the loadout as it will show you your progress for each class, weapon and type of kill required.

I would recommend you start without setting any diamonds, and work on one class. As you finish a weapon in the class, add the appropriate diamond to open up the next weapon. Once you have finished your first class reset your diamonds.

Why reset? Because there is a very strong possibility that you will need to do it at some point if you haven't done the rank 30 glitch. If you reset at a lower rank, you lose less xp, which will help you reach rank 20 quicker.

Of course, if you have glitched rank 30 prior to doing the weapons then do not worry about resetting diamonds.

Your dummy account should be setup to shoot downwards (to avoid killing you or teammates, and to remove the spawn shield as soon as they spawn).

When you have done the headshots and executions for a gun, and only need to do the kills, consider using this setup:
Turbo controller is hitting Y to revive a second guy you are shooting. With a little tweaking you can kill over and over. I'm not sure if it saves that much time (not needing to wait for respawns), but appeared to speed things up when I did it.

Sometimes I needed to press B on the dummy account as it got stuck in a menu when entering the game - you can tell if this happens as the dummy would not have spawned at the start of the game. It didn't always happen.

Good luck, with a little effort you can get this done within 2 weeks, including rank 20/30.

In addition to the above, I will say that this is a wildly difficult trophy, and after one of the patches it became even more difficult, but I am writing here to at least slightly alleviate the suffering of those who decided to achieve the trophy.

Let me start with the fact that you won’t be able to upgrade all your weapons simply by playing online, no matter how hard you try.

I propose the most adequate scheme of action, according to it you will achieve results in a month, so let’s start:

1) You need to get together in three people , no more, no less; leveling up weapons is ideal if three people are playing.

2) It’s best to play in the uprising mode (for English versions this is a mode with capturing points and a captain) on the bastion map (second from the top), and the one who pumps in the yellow team stands at the ammunition box on the first level of the map and aims at the opposite wall, where in turn two other players from the red team gather.

3) And so let’s move on to the main part, the location of the players described above is optimal and allows you to make about 100 kills in a round (15:00 minutes) (depending on the weapon and method of killing), it also allows you to get multi-kills, and the location next to the ammo box allows you not wasting time to replenish them. So two run out of the arch and run up to the wall, standing next to each other, not forgetting to shoot at least once to remove the protection (an icon in the form of a shield with the naked heads of the players), the swinger kills them in the way he needs (let me remind you that the bottom bar is for head shots, the middle bar is for killings, the top bar is for finishing moves, bazooka grenade launchers and the fact that the bottom one explodes for multi-kills) after that he waits for their return, and so on for the entire round.

4) Naturally, the leveling player changes every new round, but in addition to this, it is necessary to change the creator of the game (the player who created the game with the crown icon in the tables) at least three rounds in order to avoid crashes from online and problems with the server.

5) I answer questions of interest to the reader.

Why exactly the uprising regime? - for a captain they give more points than for an ordinary player and the number of kills does not affect victory in the round.

Why exactly the bastion? - Bastion is a small map and you don’t have to run far.

Why is the one rocking in yellow and the others in red? - on the bastion, the Reds will appear in an arch that is two meters from the wall, if they die near this wall, they will appear again in the arch, this is convenient and the box with cartridges is very close; the player will not have a shortage of cartridges.

6) Here is the list of weapons, supplemented and corrected

green are the lightest

yellow - light

orange - complex

red ones are the hardest

G3KA4......50 Execs...100 Kills. 50 Headshots
AK-47.......... 100 Execs. 250 Kills. 100 Headshots

6P9............. 50 Execs.. 100 Kills. 50 Headshots
Flare Pistol.... n/a....... 100 Kills. n/a
MAC-10........ 50 Execs.. 100 Kills. 50 Headshots
UZI............ 100 Execs. 250 Kills. 100 Headshots
M79............ n/a....... 100 Kills. 100 Multikills
IED............. n/a....... n/a....... 100 Multikills

8) In conclusion, a couple of simple tips:

- having gathered in three of you, pump up multi kills - pump up the easiest one from the beginning, and the quantity will not put pressure on your head - be patient - choose partners from your time zone

If you are going to boost, do all weapons with multi-kill parameters first! When you play with 3 players, then after killing 2 players, a multi-kill can be counted as 2 regular kills! I repeat, make weapons with multi-kills first! Save yourself many hours.

Multikills don't have to be done last. RPG-7, IED (mine, mortar and explosive), Carl-Gustav are well made. You can waste a lot of shots and time on the M79 and MGL-40mm if you do it dry. This problem can be solved with the help of a Molotov cocktail. First you need to throw a Molotov cocktail at your comrades standing against the wall (you will hurt them), and then shoot from the M79. With CMGL-40mm you do the same thing, only it’s not you who throw the Molotov cocktail, but your comrades at your feet or at the wall (the main thing is that they hurt themselves). Then fire the shot. Thanks to this method, multikills will be counted faster. The most capricious weapon is the MGL-40mm (it comes out quickly and can break 2-3 times per round).

An extremely difficult trophy. After one of the patches, the requirements for multi-kills changed, the amount that was necessary before now needs to be multiplied by 10 (i.e., 10 became 100, etc.). Some weapons are almost impossible to level up in a fair fight, an example is a rocket launcher, BOOST is the only solution...of course, if you want to get platinum during your lifetime, and not pass it on to your grandchildren.
