How to unlock the Heads Up! achievement in For Honor - Definitive Guide

As with all PvP based achievements there is a bit of luck and patients required.

To do a aerial kill you need to go to a ledge and stand over it, your character should lean forward and look down, when doing this hit RT and you will leap down and attack. There is a bit of leeway when doing this, as they do not have to be directly beneath you to kill them, but they do have to be pretty close.

The way I knocked out a lot of these is by playing Dominion on the map High Fort. Once in a game I would go capture point A and basically camp there. On the side of the tower with the hole, facing C there is a ladder that people like to climb up to A. Simply wait for people to come up to the ladder as they are climbing do an aerial kill, as it still hits people who are climbing ladders. Once you start killing just climb back up the ladder and rinse and repeat.

You can obtain this achievement on every map (I believe) this is just how I got a majority of my progress for it.

If you think there is anything wrong with this solution please leave a comment.

Happy hunting!

This can be done very easily on the Overwatch map, simply because the kills can come from Heroes/players and infantrymen/grunts. Do this during a Dominion match, Overwatch map, stand on either bridge above Zone B and wait for an infantryman/grunt to run under you or a Hero/player and hold RT to drop on them.

This will take a toll on your health, so just run back to either Zone C or A and if it's already captured heal yourself. If not, capture the zone heal yourself and run back to the bridge and do it again. Just keep an eye out for other players creeping up on you and tossing you off.

This achievement can be done on any map, but this one I found was the quickest and easiest way.

I found the Dominion method takes too long and is mostly luck based. As per my video I found playing Brawl 2 VS 2 on river fort to be a quicker and easier to control your opponent. Please note the second clip in my video is filled with Bots due to everyone lagging out but me, the kills that I got still counted towards the "heads up" achievement.

For the easiest way to obtain this you have to be playing Dominion on the new map named Sentinel that came along with the 3rd season of the game.

I found a very easy way to obtain this achievement. All you have to do is go to either capture point A or C and start using the ballista's that are aiming towards the middle. Aim for the group of soldiers that's fighting in mid, eventually also kill enemy heroes.

I started this match with 16/25 and so it took me 1 kill from above before discovering this little trick. So it took me just a couple seconds to obtain my achievement.

Enjoy your achievement and have fun out there! ;)

Not entirely a solution as it is PvP based.

But using this tactic was netting me at least one kill from above per match.

Play dominion and always vote overwatch when you can.
Hang around the high bridge areas. Keep an eye out for fights below on either side. There is a good chance you'll be able to land on someone and kill them.

*Note press Right Trigger on a ledge to perform this kill.

You can just throw a fire bottle on a group of minions. I did this on Sentinel and killed 33 minions with the fire bottle. The achievement popped instant.

The first method above DOES work but, you can't sit over the ledge and make it completely obvious that those are your intentions. Try to sit back a little bit then rush to the edge and attack. Might take a few tries to find the farthest distance that you can push the attacks because even if there isn't an enemy below in range of your attack, you can still attempt the attack and possibly killing yourself.

This is one of the trickiest trophies to get. First, you need to be at the top of some edge and your enemy needs to be at the bottom. Once this happens press to jump and kill him from above. The tricky part is that this needs to be done in PvP and there is no way to boost it because the matching is totally random. You can try to find a partner in a PvP Duel and wait for a map with a good spot to try it out. Boosting Thread.

Knowing all maps you will find some great spots to wait for an enemy and calculate when to press while they are running. Be careful though and don’t jump from the highest places, because it will result in your own death.

Also you can watch this video which shows a pretty nice way to unlock this trophy, but you need to be playing on that specific map.

The best option, in my opinion, is the Skirmish mode. Map with bridges called "WATCH". (Trophy is cumulative)

There are a lot of positions from which you can jump on enemy heroes. Plus, in the Skirmish mode, due to the lack of any points to capture, the battle often takes place in the center of the map. This is where you need to boost. There are bridges on both sides, so your job is to watch the enemy team and change your position if anything happens.

AS an option - boost with a friend. One “fights” under the bridge, luring the adversary, so to speak, and the second, like an Apatch helicopter, provides air support.

It is also very convenient to farm in Skirmish on the "Watch" map. There are many places on the map where you can attack the enemy. With proper luck, I got 4-5 successful “jumps” per round =)

The Forest map is also good for farming

Ordinary soldiers are also suitable for the trophy. “Territory capture” mode 4x4 player versus player, any map where bot soldiers fight for point B and you can jump on them from above. We start jumping and killing, in 1-2 games you can score a trophy. We don’t pay attention to the actual capture of points and the killing of other players, unless they themselves come to point B
But the “player versus bot” modes are not suitable, there is no progress.

In order not to turn the gameplay into “boosting a trophy with a friend,” you need the “Harbor” map in the “Skirmish” or “Territory Capture” mode. On this map, there is a small ship in the center, on its deck in the capture of territories there is always zone B and there are often clashes between the heroes, and in the battle at the beginning everyone runs there and is also often happy. When there is a mess, we climb up the ladder to the second floor of the ship and calmly jump onto the enemy. Don’t waste your nerves with the patrol, it’s better to enjoy the game and, in the meantime, knock out a trophy in the harbor.

The method I managed to do in about an hour. Mode - capture points. Map - patrol. There is a point (I think C, I don’t remember exactly now) where ditches open as time runs out. So, there is a staircase to this point, which is also the passage to this point from point B. There is a fishing spot there. If you look down from that ladder, then to the right of it you can find a small ledge from which you can easily kill onlookers running to recapture point C from point B.
Personally, I was able to farm cards there for 3 20 kills, and finished off the rest in other places. Of course, you can't do it without luck.

PS In addition to the hint, I will leave a picture with the location of this fishing spot (the picture was taken from the official map review)
