How to unlock the Mr. Popularity achievement in Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Definitive Guide

When a team mate betrays and kills another team mate in the alliance, they become a traitor. As usual, the person who dies leaves the alliance and respawns as a cop.

The traitor's Gamertag above their head will become orange. Once this happens, make sure you head straight for them to win the cash reward for killing them and the extra traitor kill toward this achievement. Walk over their body to collect their dropped cash (and for satisfaction).

These methods can be adapted for more people, but generally it's best to stick with 4 or 5.

Boosting method for 5 players courtesy of F4775:

We'll call the players 'Player 1-5' for sake of this guide.
player 1 kills player 2,
player 3 kills player 4,
player 5 kills players 1 and 3 for two traitor kills.

Player 5 could now escape with all the money to work towards the Mr. Play-It-Straight achievement and the 50 to Won achievement. Then again, they could commit martyrdom by means of a grenade to make the round end quickly. Rotate players so all get even kills for however many rounds or kills you need.

Boosting method for 4 players courtesy of MarkLaing07

Note that this method is less efficient than with 5 players; you'll only gain one traitor kill, but you do gain a personal revenge kill which could be of use if someone needs them.

Again, for the sake of this guide we'll call these players 'Player 1-4'.
Player 1 kills player 2
Player 3 kills player 1
Player 3 "cooks" a grenade
Player 4 kills player 3 and stands over the grenade to end the round

Tracking your progress

You can find the counter for your traitor kills in the menu; visit 'Multiplayer' and select 'Stats'.

Keep in mind that your personal revenge kills are added onto your traitor kills. To find out the true number of traitors you've killed, subtract the number of personal revenge kills from your traitor kills.

Any traitor kills or personal revenge kills you get in matches where the host quits or you drop out will count on your stats screen but do not count towards the achievements as you didn't finish the match. Its a bit of a pain but I hosted pretty much all of my 200 sessions just to make sure all my stats counted.

Your personal revenge kills will show as traitor kills in your stats screen but they don't count towards your Mr Popularity achievement. You have to kill a traitor as a merc or kill a traitor as a cop who wasn't killed by that traitor. Hope that helps.

even with that Cormac, i'm still confused.
i have 17 personal revenge kills in ranked matches, the rest in player matches, which seem to combine considering i got 'the cleaner'. yet i have over 100 total traitor kills, with only 60 of them in ranked matches, still not 'mr. popularity'...

I'm not sure the 4 player method works. I was doing revenge kills a few weeks ago using the grenade cooking method and people in my session still didn't get the 10 traitor kill achievement when they went past 10 traitor kills (up to 20 kills and still no achievement). I think this is because the kill just counts as a revenge kill rather than a traitor kill. Although i'm not 100% sure this is correct.

Hmm, I'm not in a position to verify, as I don't have the game any more. It would be great if I could could sort out this solution and make sure it is correct, I would. So if you might be able to help in that regard, I would be highly appreciative. Do you know of another method that would work for 4 people?

Until I can confirm this, I'll add a note to say that the method may not be correct.

Also, I'd like to add to the solution something about how you can track the number of traitor kills. Is there a stats screen or something similar where people can find the number?

yes there is a 'game stats' screen under the multiplayer menu, but the number counts traitor kills when you do the method but the number went past 10 with people not getting the achievement for killing 10 traitors.

Also it may be worth noting that instead of killing yourself after you get the traitor kills, you could escape with all the money, this would help you with the merc wins and also the money. This is the method i'm doing now, in Hot Coffee which is the quickest, you could get around 2 Million in a session.

I can confirm that Personal Revenge kills do not count as Traitor kills I recently finished mine off and my stats showed 33 Personal Revenge and 133 Traitor Kills.

Your 4 player method should read,

Hot Coffee. All 4 players work as a team until the cafeteria is cleared of guards. Player 1 (the winning player) collects all the cash in the cafe. Player 2 kills player 3. Player 1 then kills player 2 for the traitor kill and runs out the back door to the arriving escape vehicle. Player 4 can blow themselves up or run in front of the escape vehicle.

This method counts towards round wins, round wins as a merc, traitor kills and sessions completed. Its better done with 5 the way you suggested but if playing as a 4 I would suggest the above.

As the achievement description suggests , You need to kill 100 traitors in Fragile Alliance. (counts in Ranked or Player matches)

A traitor is shown in the game as someone who's name is Orange above their Character.

You can do this through regular gameplay in Kane & lynch everyone wants to get as much cash as possible. So Traitors are aplenty.

To rack up the Traitor kills hold back from the main pack and make sure your the guy that get's the kill when someone gets too greedy for their own good.

*Tip* make sure you host your own games, as a lot of people have it in there head that the money must be real or something and close down the session if they are losing , so if you get traitor kills they wont add to to your stats if session is closed Mid game.

Now if you want to boost these traitor kills , set up a session get a few friends in your session , Get one of your friends to kill the other friend (this now makes him a traitor) , you can kill him and hope you get out alive or to end the round quickly Hold out your grenade and get the traitor friend to kill you.

Your grenade will kill him, if it rolls away and does not kill him when you respawn as a cop make sure YOU take him down.

Make sure if you boost this way the guy who you want to get the traitor kill from , kills the other player before killing you so that the game registers it as a traitor kill and not a personal revenge kill.

It is possible to get 2 people a traitor kill in each round with just four people.

Player A kills Player B to become a traitor
Player C kills Player D to become a traitor
Player A+C both face each other and tap cn_RB to roll a grenade towards each other
Player A is killed by Player C's grenade / Player C is killed by Player A's grenade

It takes a little bit of practice but is still incredibly easy. Also set it to only 3 rounds so that you can make some progress towards the Veteran achievement (200 games completed)
