Longshot,
Ink grenade,
Torque bow,

You can get all of these in the campaign. Hammer of Dawn comes last part of the way through Act 5.

Ink grenade! That was the last one I needed too - got all other 14 during normal play - but then just kept focusing on firearms to try and find the 15th... *sigh*

Is there a way to check which weapons you already have? I have 14/15 and I don't have a clue which weapon I didnt use yet

I was missing one for the longest time but could not figure out which one. I played on war zone against an easy bot and swapped all the weapons to be the a specific weapon and killed the bot. then, switch all weapons to the next one, rinse, repeat and woila! It turned out to be the hammer of dawn. Even though I had killed the giant mobs with it during the campain, I guess it didn't count. If it's not that, it's probably one of the three pistols or the ink grenade.

For me, I was missing the scorcher, I had incinerated lots in the training mode, but apparently it didn't count...

On certain maps it will spawn certain weapons that won't show on other maps. You can't set it up manually.

For this achievement you need to kill an enemy with each of the weapons in the game.

Here's a list of the weapons you need to get a kill with so that you can mark them off as you get a kill with them;
• Boltok Pistol
• Boomshot
• COG Pistol
• Frag Grenade
• Gorgon Pistol
• Hammer Of Dawn
• Hammerburst
• Ink Grenade
• Lancer
• Longshot
• Mortar
• Mulcher
• Scorcher
• Shotgun
• Torque Bow

Now the achievement is left entirely open as this can be obtained by playing a match in any mode, so while you have the option of playing online in a ranked/social match and working toward this achievement casually you can also choose to get this achievement out the way by playing a local game with 2 controllers.

The quickest way to get this achievement is to set up a local game, set the game type to Warzone, set the round limit to 1 and work your way through the maps while killing the second player, this way you have absolutely no threat to contend with as the second player won't do anything unless you make it.

You can use this method any way that you want, you can set up a match with you facing off against a team of bots if you want, it's entirely up to you, I've just outlined the easiest and fastest method that I know of.
