How to unlock the Professor Mayhem achievement in Homefront: The Revolution - Definitive Guide

The other solutions perfectly give away that there is a positive glitch, though I didn't find those guides complete enough, which resulted in me and my boosting partner Healtti having to do 2 classes instead of just 1.

The achievement requires you to purchase 4 different active skills across 4 different characters. Active skills are the tier 4 skills. Each class (Brawn, brain, fighter and survivor) has one active skill which you can unlock. You can only spend 20 DNA points on one character. Tier 1 skills are worth 1 DNA, tier 2 are worth 2 DNA, and so on. In order to purchase tier 2 skills, you will need to have purchased at least 1 tier 1 skill. The same goes for Tier 3 and tier 4 skills, you need to have purchased at least 1 skill from the tier below that. Besides, you will need to have spend 10 DNA points on skills for the same class, in order to unlock the ability to purchase the tier 4 skill. Last but not least, you need experience points.
Tier 1 skills cost 1500, tier 2 cost 2250, tier 3 cost 3500 and tier 4 cost 5000.

The positive glitch is that, if you have both:
- created 4 different characters, one with a brawn skill as background skill, one brain, one fighter and one survivor
- purchased the active skill for the survivor
it'll unlock the achievement.

This basically decreases the time needed for this achievement by 75%. So, to start off, create 4 different characters, each with a background skill from a different class. You will be using the character with the background skill in Survivor. You will need to purchase at least one tier 2 and one tier 3 skill. This will cost 3500+2250=5750. This will get you to 6 DNA points. Purchase two more tier 2 skills to reach 10 DNA points. (10250 xp). Finally, you will need 5000 xp to purchase the tier 4 skill (15250 xp). Be sure to only purchase survivor skills. Besides, remember that you can only have 20 DNA points for one character. If you have a character with 6 or more DNA points in different classes, start using a new one.

We would average about 1200-1300 xp (with small xp boosters) in about 6-7 minutes (including loading times) by using the boosting method below. This means, that you can get this achievement in about 12-14 games, and in under 2 hours.

Boosting method
The boosting method we used was replaying the level "enemy at the gates" on easy. This is in my opinion the easiest and fastest level. At the start of the mission, you will need to hack 2 computers at 2 locations. We would always split up. Use the hacking charges or explosives on vehicles (or shoot the yellow bar at the back of the vehicle). Only kill enemies and vehicles that you really need to kill in order to be able to hack the computers. More kills doesn't really give you a lot more XP.

Once both computers in locations are hacked, start running east. You will run underneath a highway. If you go to far to the east, it'll say "go back to the mission". You can move further North or South, depending on what location you came from. The team leader will say something like "I'm sending you the new location, where you can get a bike". Once she is almost finished with this monologue, you can leave the mission area and head for the bike stash. Get on the bikes and race straight for the location of the 10 elite KPA soldiers. There, start killing those elite soldiers, along with any other dudes that attack you. Once there are just 2-3 elites left, let one player leave for the extraction area (you will need to have played the mission at least once to know the location). Once the other player(s) have killed the remaining elites, let them down themselves. The player at the extraction area enters the final room and the mission is finished. We were able to finish this mission in about 5 minutes, with our best time being something like 4 minutes and thirty seconds.

Cash/Weapons
I've used the first battle rifle all the time, with the first secondary weapon (pistol). I had it unlocked from the start. Spend your cash on either attachment upgrades (1000 dollar) ( to try and get Grip, red dot and muzzle brake attachments) or on consumable upgrades (500 dollar). I would advise to spend most of your cash on the latter. You will replenish your hacking charges (which I used a lot), you get weapon parts (to upgrade your weapons with) and you get xp boosts (use these whenever you have them).

I had a lot of progress on this achievement by doing this mission:
Homefront: The RevolutionSecret AchievementThe Secret Achievement achievement in Homefront: The Revolution worth 60 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement


This mission is in my opinion also best suited to get:
Homefront: The RevolutionPeace in our timeThe Peace in our time achievement in Homefront: The Revolution worth 73 pointsSuccessfully complete a Resistance Mode mission on normal difficulty.

Homefront: The RevolutionPeace your pantsThe Peace your pants achievement in Homefront: The Revolution worth 165 pointsSuccessfully complete a Resistance Mode mission on hard difficulty.


Depending on the skill of your teammates, you might get this achievement (otherwise, just boost it at a vehicle, or keep jumping from a rooftop):
Homefront: The RevolutionEveryone fights, no one quitsThe Everyone fights, no one quits achievement in Homefront: The Revolution worth 41 pointsRevive 10 downed teammates over any number of Resistance Mode missions.


You will definitely get the following achievements, without specifically going for these, in 3-4 games:
Homefront: The RevolutionE Pluribus UnumThe E Pluribus Unum achievement in Homefront: The Revolution worth 81 pointsEarn 20 team citations.

Homefront: The RevolutionMinutemanThe Minuteman achievement in Homefront: The Revolution worth 68 pointsEarn 10 mission citations.

Homefront: The RevolutionSon of LibertyThe Son of Liberty achievement in Homefront: The Revolution worth 33 pointsEarn 20 individual citations.


After you've gotten your achievement, play one more game with your character. Then hold cn_right to throw down some supplies. Let one of your teammates pick those up for your final achievement in resistance mode.

i believe this has now been patched but won't give a neg as it obviously did work. Annoying as this mode is terrible but for anyone looking to grind it now (and providing I didn't just do the glitch wrong, although I'm pretty adamant I didn't), you can solo the level 'Burnt Offerings' on Hard without so much as a scratch provided you have a Battle Rifle, 4 pipe bombs, and a modicum of stealth. Even with only a 10% XP booster equipped you are looking at over 2,000 XP per run and it is by far the easiest and most risk free mission in Resistance Mode. With loading times factored in, you're probably looking at an eight-nine minute turnaround each run.

The first character I made (before reading any of this stuff) has the "Perfect" background that reduces all tier costs by 1. This is a general background instead of specific to a class. I focused on the Fighter class for this character, but have only assigned 3 DNA points (4 of 20 total when including "Perfect"). My other 3 characters have class specific backgrounds for the Brains, Brawn, & Survivor classes with only their special skills assigned (1 of 20 for each). Am I still good to go for this since my Survivor class is set up correctly & the one with the general skill perk is focused in Fighter?

As long as you have 4 characters, one of each, and you upgrade the survivor to the max, youre good.

I got this achievement without creating 4 characters. I simply created a Survivor character and unlocked at least one perk in each of the 4 classes and then worked my way down to the Tier 4 survivor perk. Didn't expect to unlock this achievement as I wasn't really paying attention to the achievements at the time and was unaware that it was buggy - Can't complain though!

This still works as of July 15, 2020. This solution saved me a lot of time, and I read it just before I made a HUGE mistake regarding the allocation of skill points.

Burnt offerings is also a great one, and in my opinion easier to do solo. It’s also a great opportunity to do the sniper takedown achievement

thumbs up on this, was tier 3 on a brawn character when I read this and I'm glad I read it before going any further. Immediately stopped playing with this character and created a survivor. Achievement popped when I purchased the active skill for the survivor. Thanks a lot for the heads up! toast smile

The above solution works but to clarify:

As of right now, this achievement is glitched in your favor. You only need tier 4 in the survivor tree to unlock this achievement.

Can confirm this works as its the only class i used.

Good to add. I was doing the brawn and was wondering why it didn't pop for my buddy. Could now use some of the unspent experience on upgrading the survivor.

What this means is you must purchase a different Tier 4 skill (aka "active skill") on four separate occasions. Active skills are the very last one you can buy in each of the four skill trees (Brains, Brawn, etc). Youll likely have to create 4 different characters and get to Tier 4 once with each, as once you reach max level with a character, XP no longer builds up.

Edit: this may be glitched, in a good way. I created 4 characters but got to Tier 4 with only two of them and the achievement unlocked.

(Online Co-Op)

There are 4 different active skills, and you will need to create 4 different characters in order to buy them all. Please refer to Practical Mayhem to see how to buy an active skill.

I highly suggest to place your first skill in the Survivor tree.

This trophy is glitched in a good way. You will only need to purchase 1 active skill, only if you purchase the active skill in the Survivor tree. Make sure to purchase your skills only in this tree, always focusing on the higher Tier, once you will buy the active skill the trophy will pop.

If this glitch doesn't work anymore, you will need to create 3 other characters and buy 3 other active skills. Don't buy the same active skill twice. Once you have placed a skill point you cannot remove it.

Contrary to the trophy description, you don't need to complete all 4 skill trees to get the trophy. The "Survivor" skill tree is glitched. Simply start a character with a "Survivor" skill tree, and work towards getting the final perk in Tier 4. With luck, this will save you 10-12 hours of grinding compared to running through the entirety of other skill trees. As soon as you have enough XP and buy the final perk in the "Survivor" tree, the trophy will pop.

Either they lowered the bar for the trophy, or my friend and I discovered a glitch. First, upgrade the intelligence branch to the active skill, then the survival tab to the end and get a trophy.

Apparently, the trophy has been fixed. It is enough to buy a level 4 skill in any branch, you don’t have to buy all the previous ones. You buy the first few until the locks are removed from levels 2-3-4. Next, save up the required amount of XP and buy level 4. (5000 XP+4 points). I downloaded "Survival".

On the first character I upgraded the “Combat” branch - the trophy did not drop!

I had to create a new character. The trophy drops 100% after leveling “Survival” to level 4.

The most important thing here is to upgrade one branch (in my case, “survival”) and no more than 3 abilities at level 1, no more than 2 abilities at levels 2 and 3. If you level up more in one branch or accidentally level up another branch, then you may not have enough points to open level 4.

07/09/2020 the trophy still drops when leveling up only the survival branch. To level up you need 14 skill points out of 20 available for one character.

The glitch works on 03/18/2017 and has now received this trophy. Game version 1.12. I just want to add that you can get this trophy as quickly as possible, so as soon as you choose a gender, the character’s skills immediately go, choose the biography “Lawyer”, skills in the intelligence category will cost less experience, and immediately in the “intelligence” category you will immediately buy one skill . This way you can level up the 'mind' branch faster and can immediately move on to the 'survival' category. In survival, choose the 'Bandit' biography, you will also have one skill purchased, and the cost of all skills will be reduced.
