How to unlock the QUALIFIED RIDE achievement in Left 4 Dead 2 - Definitive Guide

There's not much to say about this achievement; if you play Versus enough you'll probably pick it up sooner or later. If you're looking for tips on how to land a good ride, you should probably jump a survivor:

1) When they are far away from their team. If they're far enough, their team may just decide to leave them.

2) When everyone has been covered in puke. Use the combination of an instant horde and next to zero visibility to make off with an unlucky survivor. Even better if a Spitter can cover your escape by putting some acid between you and the enemy team.

3) When the enemy team is at a cliff or drop off. If you can nab the last one to jump and drive them back, 12 seconds should be a breeze.

4) When the enemy team is otherwise distracted, likely due to a tank.

Whatever you do, don't jump a tightly packed group of survivors who are aware and alert; you won't help anyone.

Good luck, and good head-humping!

How are you supposed to last more than 12 secs if they only have 100 health and the jockey takes away 10 hits and then they fall down?

Here's an easy way to get both
Left 4 Dead 2BACK IN THE SADDLEThe BACK IN THE SADDLE achievement in Left 4 Dead 2 worth 23 pointsAs the Jockey, ride the Survivors twice in a single life.
and
Left 4 Dead 2QUALIFIED RIDEThe QUALIFIED RIDE achievement in Left 4 Dead 2 worth 22 pointsAs the Jockey, ride a Survivor for more than 12 seconds.
with a minimum amount of effort:

- Play vs mode with two controllers: your profile as Infected and the second controller be the Survivors. Regardless of the map, use the Survivor to kill two of the other survivors.

- Once two of them are dead, spawn as the Jockey. Jump on the AI Survivor and ride him until he's downed*.

- Move your Jockey out of the downed AI's sight and bring the player controlled Survivor to the Jockey. This is so the downed AI cannot kill the Jockey.

- Use a health pack on your player controlled Survivor if he's damaged to ensure he's got plenty of health.

- Hop on the player controlled Survivor and ride him until he dies. You'll get both achievements.

*I didn't have any problems with getting out of the AI's sight in time, but if you wanted to play it safe, down the AI character twice first, so when the Jockey takes him down, he dies.

If you've got a friend on XBL, have them join you as a Spitter and you can easily knock out

How do you kill the other survivors? It takes forever, and the other AI infected tend to mess things up for me when I'm down to the last two survivors.

Same here. I tried this several times and the AI infected keep killing. Tried on 2 maps. Not an easy method.

i got this in scavenge mode yesterday. play with a friend and as the jockey, hide somewhere until the clock winds down. pounce someone right before the clock stops so ur on them when the game ends and when the next round starts, the achievement will pop up

it was really random and there are better ways to do it but that takes less time than incapping everyone

the trick that worked great for me was doing a private scavenge match with two controllers. the port worked great for this- there's a gas can real close to the start area. had the second controller pick up a gas can and the bots protected it from any zombies while i kept it not moving. let them kill my infected character until I spawned the jockey. I took him over to the generator leaving the bots and controller 2 sitting at the first gas can location and once in position around the corner walked the 2nd controller quickly to the jockey's location and grabbed the first controller again and jump him. even though he dropped the gas can and the level was over, the timer kept counting for the achievement into the loading screen for switching sides

Great tips above from Tech.

I find that I've gotten many of these achievement in the Hard Rain scenario corn field. Of course, use common sense, don't jump a group that is together and alert, wait for your boomer to cover them in puke, the horde to rush them, etc...then jump someone and take them into the corn field. I've done this successfully...probably every time I've played that map, it's incredibly easy and the corn field makes it hard for the other survivors to shoot you while you ride one of them off into the distance lol. Good luck!

When you spawn as the Jockey run around until you have a clear shot at a survivor. Press the to jump on a survivor, then try to steer them as far away from the other survivors as you can. If the survivor has a full health bar you should earn this by the time you incapacitate them.

See "LONG DISTANCE CARRIER".

This achievement can be combined with another - BACK IN THE SADDLE .

It's easier to do with a friend or alone on two joysticks.

Set the battle mode and select any campaign.
On the first joystick we select – Infected, and on the second – Survivors.

At the very beginning, take the second joystick and kill two bots, leaving one behind.

Next, take the first joystick and use the jockey to attack the bot and kill it (the achievement will immediately open), after which we attack the second player (the second achievement will also open).

Thus, you will simultaneously unlock two achievements at once.

When you have a Jockey at your disposal, do not attack the first target you come across. Wait until the survivor gets away from the group and immediately jump on him,
Manipulating the target, take it as far away from your allies as possible. The main thing is that the target has full or almost full lives.
