How to unlock the KITE LIKE A MAN achievement in Left 4 Dead 2 - Definitive Guide

i did this in single player easily. start up on the port of the passing and work your way to the generator picking up some adrenaline on your way. once at the generator, switch to expert and kill off your ai partners, then switch back to easy. Wait for the tank to arrive whilst staying in range of the original survivors laser sights. once you see the tank take your adrenaline and just run around the area near the generator allowing the original survivors to shoot him. once he's dead, the achievement pops. take care not to get any shots on him yourself.

Actually, I've noticed the AI partners don't attack the tank anymore until you do. I'm pretty sure it's a change in the patch.

I did this with 3 of my friends, makes it easier not having to kill off the AI, especially if you actually want to survive.

@Fire Hawk D: Really? I'll have to see about that, maybe it's only in the passing to help with this achievement.

Very much NOT true. Your AI partners absolutely shoot at the tank.

Worked a treat, but like gdinut has already mentioned I too had waited ten minutes and no tank so did the three closest petrol canisters and tank spawned right away. I ran around generator then ran to the bridge and he was dead in seconds.... thumbs up

I accidentally got it when I went for some gas canisters and all 3 other ai teammates went into a building. The Tank punched a car to try to get to us, only for the car to block it further. As it did so, the survivors on the bridge opened fire on the tank and killed it. The achievement popped and the funny thing was that I had 2 other players as part of a boosting session to unlock the achievement with them.

start a offline game and kill your teammates. go to down to street and camp around until tank spawns. when it does dont attack and let the oringal survivors handle it. try to stay near generator so they can help you if something like a hunter pounces you.

When you get to the final safehouse of the 'Passing' campaign, kill all of the AI survivors. Then make your way to the generator and just stand around until you see a Tank, afterwards just try and avoid it and let the original survivors from the first Left 4 Dead shoot him from up on the platform. I suggest that you have an adrenaline shot with you in case you are hit by the Tank.

Start up singleplayer on the Passing campaign and choose the Port finale. Choose the Easy difficulty. When you get to the generator, quickly grab 4 gas cans, yet don't fill the generator. Eventually the Tank will spawn, make sure that you are in the close room by the generator when he does spawn. It has an M16 in it. Quickly change the difficulty to expert and incap the bots. Quickly change the difficulty back to easy and then leave the room to lure the Tank by the bridge. The Left 4 Dead cast will take him down in no time on Easy.

The earliest level to get this is the final chapter (Port) of mission 2, The Passing. You spawn almost immediately next to the bridge from the final chapter of L4D1, and three of the four original survivors will kill infected from above with guns, snipers and machine guns. Tanks are very common in this level (especially when time progresses and waves intensify), just lure one over to the section near the generator where the original survivors can shoot it.

We got this by accident in the middle of a wave where the common infected were crowding the Tank after I threw a bile bottle on it. This prevented it from killing us as well.

This is fairly straightforward, load the Port and collect three gas cans. Doing this will trigger the tank to spawn. If you are playing with friends make sure no one fires at the tank. Head back towards the bridge and allow the other survivors to kill the tank for you.

Two Controller Method
If you are doing this on your own, this will be a little harder to do but you will get the same results. Load up a single player campaign with two controllers. Once you start the level change the difficulty to expert and kill the two AI survivors (make sure you change the difficulty back to easy after you kill the AI).

Move both players down to the bridge and decide which one you want to use to collect the gas cans. Collect three gas cans and the tank will spawn. Once he spawns make your way back to the bridge and allow the survivors to kill the tank for you.

With this method you need to keep the second controller active. Make sure this account go idle as the AI will shoot the tank. Wedging something under the so the player keeps moving seems to work best.

Everything is quite simple, load the Port and collect three canisters, a Tank will appear. Position yourself near the bridge so that the original survivors can shoot at the Tank and
just dodge it. The main thing is that no one from your team causes damage to the Tank; only the original infected should attack it. The easiest way
do this with friends, since you will have to play alone, because players controlled by AI must be killed by you in advance so that they do not inflict
damage to the Tank.
