How to unlock the THE REAL DEAL achievement in Left 4 Dead 2 - Definitive Guide

Again theres a very simple tecnique to unlock this in about 30 mins give or take, on your own

1) load up an easy realism dark carnival

2) continue playing until you get to the finale

3) leave the game (you must exit to main menu, do not call a vote as this doesnt work - thanks to DSmooove6 for confirming this) and start up a brand new realism lobby (believe it or not this works i was weiry about it myself) and set it to expert part 5
What to have before setting off the finale on part 5:

- nab a scoped rifle, a melee weapon, a pipe bomb for clearing out the horde when the chopper arives and an adrenaline for the run to the chopper

4) play on until you set up the finale, incap the 3 bots on the stage then set off the finale after grabbing the necesities you need: pipe bomb, adrenaline etc, then run up to the jesus rail

for those if you who dont know where this is, it is on the far left hand side of the stands when looking from the stage, by the blocked off entrance (Video below for visual aid), climb up to the top of the stands and sit on the rail, remembering to keep an eye out for infected climbing up beside you.

NOTE: its a good idea that the in the last couple of Special Infected you killed before setting the finale off was a smoker as he will then not spawn once you set it off, because he can sneak up behind you and ruin the achievement for you, if a smoker spawns when you set it off dont panic and try to find him with your scope before he reaches you

5) but anyway back to the achievement, when on the rail the majority of the common infected will glitch and not move (save a couple behind you on the roof tops KEEP AN EYE ON THEM, as if they fall of the roof they will be able to move and climb up to you. and specials (including the tanks) will not spawn after they have killed of the other survivors. But as soon as you get off the rail it will all revert to normal, so Just dont fall off or it untill the chopper arrives as they will glitch back and you'll have to die and restart from the part 5 saferoom

6) when the chopper arives pull out your pipe bomb and launch it across the map, also take an adrenaline shot or pills if you have them and run for the chopper, you should have enough time to reach it even if it arrives at the other side of the map

i managed to get this on my 1st playthrough, but my 3rd attempt at the finale, as the bloody single infected kept attacking me from behind! but i was very suprised that this method worked as it sounded stupid

NOTE: this method will work on other campaigns i just chose dark carnival as it had the most effective glitch spot, i believe there is a table in the hard rains burgar tank finale that has the same effect.

So just remember to always check behind you when on the rail as commons can still move down in the area below you but you should have no trouble killing them as they climb up!

hope this was helpful ;)

Wow, great guide! I can confirm it works offline. One clarification, for step 3, you have to "Exit to Main Menu" and choose "Realism" again. If you do "Call a Vote" and then "Return to Lobby", it will not work. Thanks!

22 September, still works great! It's worth noting that it took me five tries at the finale, so don't worry if it doesn't work right away, just keep repeating the last chapter! Still, after repeating it and getting lucky on the 5th attempt my achievement unlocked! Quick and easy, 30 minutes PLUS 1/5 levels on expert complete!

This trick still working 10 Oct 2011. I stood on the plywood to the left of the stage like Gajoo said, & I kept the AI alive until the chopper arrived, but followed all the rest of the instructions you gave. This guide got me a "cheeve" I never thought I'd get, so thanks alot for that.
BIG 'ol positive vote

I can confirm this still works as of 02 Jan 2012. I did it today. It took a while, mostly because the 'copter kept coming on the other side and even though I used a pipe bomb or bile jar every time I ran over toward the 'copter a jockey would get me. But on my 5th try the 'copter came on the side closest to the rail and I ran right in there! Thanks so much!

I just tried this following the solution closely, but DID NOT incap the other survivors. As soon as I pressed the button for the concert to begin, I made a mad dash to the Jesus rail. Before I had even reached the rail, the helicopter appeared and opened up. I hopped on, achievement unlocked, etc. Just checking to see if this had happened to anyone else. At any rate, thanks for the solution. Thumbs up!

Works as of 1/9/13. Didn't happen quite the same as in the video. For me, the chopper came as soon as I started the concert. Took a few tries but I finally got the perfect combination of chopper on the left, special infected spawn on the right and all the regular infected went for the survivors that were downed on the stage.

Still works!!! I just got it on January 24, 2013. I can confirm that it works in online co-op. My friend turned on the music when I was already in the spot and we did not kill the other two bots. We just let them die on their own. My friend died but I stayed in the spot and I ended up getting the Achievement after a few tries because the smoker kept pulling me down. I was still a little skeptical about doing the first 4 part on easy and then exiting, but it worked.

It still works, but it's still not easy to do by yourself. I used 30+ tries before I finally nailed it and got into that chopper at the end. It's really depending on which side the chopper lands on and whether or not the infected gets a hold on you when you are on the rail.

Great solution and it still works. Took me 6-7 tries. One time the helicopter landed on my side, jumped the gun too soon and ran up to it before it opened the doors. I ended up falling down and quickly dying. If only I waited just a little longer.

Finally got it after 16 tries. The key for me was killing off what special infected spawn between hitting "go" and getting to the rail. I'd usually get pulled by a smoker during the first song, but I managed to kill him and all went well. Thankfully the copter landed on my side the first time, got in and boom. 100%

after a ton of tries, I got it too - actually, kept my bots alive and for me, that was key, a charger, tank, and smoker almost screwed me over, the bots saved my ass. + 1 for the solution.

Worked fine as of august 16th 2013. However, I always had a stupid charger charging me few seconds after getting on the rail, thankfully, after 3 failures from this guy, I managed to kill him while he was charging. But, I did have some special infected spawn after my 3 AI died. 2 Spitters and 1 Smoker and I had to kill them.

Interesting fact, the smoker did grab me, but I could kill him immediately so he didn't kill me. He effectively removed me from the rail. At that point, I jumped back on the rail. I had to kill few infected in front of me, and few behind but after these died, the rest of infected continued to glitch and not move. So, after a shot and molotov, I could run to the chopper and get the achievement.

Still works on July 2017. Took me 2 hours between the campaign on easy (30 minutes?) and my stubborn desire to keep the other survivors alive that.. no joke.. resulted in a whole lot of failed attempts. Started leaving them incapped center stage like the video and got worried the rail was patched... I had a charger come right for me twice in a row and kill me but maybe I wasn't all the way up on the rail. Anyway the hardest part is not getting knocked off by normal infected coming up from behind you after the glitch hits.

Thanks for the guide and video! Just have to complete the sacrifice.. which I will TOTALLY do on easy.

I got it on my second attempt (the first was frustrated thanks to a damn Charger), with luck no Charger or Jockey came to me on this second attempt, but several Smokers came to my cause, they always got me off the track, back, it took a few minutes, but the helicopter came as expected and BOOM! ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!

Thanks for the guide and the video, it helped a lot and now I have only 2 achievements left! let's go ahead xD

Took me a few tries, but I managed to get it once the chopper arrived on the right side of the stage. I had all the zombies go after the AIs when I started the concert and, once they were dead, the glitch worked like a charm. I had jockeys and chargers spawning on the map, but none came after me. Only had to worry about 2 smokers. Pipe bomb and adrenaline make a huge difference. Thanks for the guide.

Did this with my buddy last night, January 23, 2020, and I can confirm this method still works (Xbox One X). However, Two people cannot be in this spot or else the infected can get to you and you both easily fall off.

The Specials will continue to spawn as long as the other 3 survivors are alive. The helicopter spawns on either side 50/50. I've never managed to get to the other side, even with adrenaline and a pipe bomb. Just keep doing it until the copter lands right in front of you.

With every human trying to get this, once one person is able to get the achievement, you'll have to start over for each person. No biggie, takes less than 15 min to get to the finale on easy. Also, it doesn't matter who hosts.

Just unlocked it so it still works, at least for me. Few notes for others
-I used a second controller so i could activate the finale and then jumped onto the rail with my main, gives you more time.
- The music stopped a few times but after i killed enough zombies it started up again

Alright, I finally got this. This tutorial DOES work as of 4-10-2020. I instead did it on Dead Center, however I spent exactly 3 hours and 18 Minutes on the finale. You may not get it the first try, just keep working at it. My friend happened to lead the tank with the other two bots and I put all the gas in the tank.

4/29/20. 2 controllers is the best method with bots you may die a ton like me due to the specials spawning on the railing /smokers geting you or zombies crawling up wall and spawning above your Head . The helicopter will spawn every time on the right so all you need is adrenaline

This method still works as of November 2021. There is definitely some RNG involved with getting few infected to spawn. I didn't bother with the melee weapon. I preferred double pistols with the auto shotgun. Shotgun because most threats will be zombies (both regular and infected) spawning behind you. The pistols for taking out a smoker or spitter in the distance.

Can confirm, April 2023, this still works. Went through the DC campaign on easy, when I spawned in the finale safe room, I quit to main menu, started up a new DC but finale Expert and used the jesus rail. I did fail the finale once, but when I respawned I just did it again and it worked.

I can confirm that's still works. BTW on Dark Carnival campaign there was a two jesus spots. On on the rail and second down on the plywood (jump on to the forklift by jumping on the back of it, then on the top of it. Jump from the top of the forklift to the plywood. It's a long jump and may take a few tries.)

It is still working. I've just unlocked it with tons of luck, but I got it in the end. The chopper appeared in the very opposite from my location and managed to grab it after being hunted and puked and only with 18 health points left, LMFAO.

And about Joshnorm's post, I tried the same technique in 'The Parish' and worked fine: the whole campaign done in easy mode and when reached the F******G bridge returned to the main menu and created a new expert lobby in the bridge. After completing it, the achievement 'Still something to prove' unlocked. So I can confirm it works nicely.

Thanks for the advice! :)

As of April 16, 2013, this solution still works. Me and 2 other guys followed this solution and got the Cheevo. It took me over 10+ times, but eventually you will get a map with very few Infected and Special Infected. Secret is Adrenaline. I had to run across the stage and jump over a group of Zombies to the helicopter, but I made it! Great guide and video.

Everything that Rusty Woud said would work actually worked for me on 5/17/2013. I'd meant to go after this achievement long ago but got distracted by all the great, new games I'd purchased. When I booted up L4D2, needless to say I was a bit concerned when I saw that a title update was required. It worked, though! Take what Rusty said into account and definitely try to mimic everything that the YouTube video showed. I had much better results using a shotgun. I would also have captions on so you can track what special infected happen to be in the area.

So instead of having an actual reason to vote this guide down you're just going to moan at the people for using a glitch that the developers never bothered patching and not playing the way you want them to?

Nice one.

Still works 20th Feb 2016!
Took me 8 tries to finally get one where the special infected didn't bother me too much. Got one charger that got stuck near the stage, one smoker that I (Luckily) killed, and then a boomer that I never even saw. No tank spawned (Tank spawned below the Jesus Rail on my second run just before the chopper arrived and killed me). Chopper landed on other side unfortunately, but I took adrenaline, jumped down, chucked a pipe bomb and just avoided the charger.
In other words, don't give up if you don't get it on your first couple of tries! Eventually you'll get lucky with Special Infected spawns.
Thank you so much for the guide!!! +1

This can be done very easily with two people. Have one person host a friends only game and join them playing on easy realism on Dead Center. Play through the campaign until the finale and put all but one can into the car. The person who isn't the host can leave the game and after they leave, the person who is still in the game changes the difficulty to expert and then reinvites the player. Once both players are connected to the game, simply put in the final can.

This achievement requires there to be a group of people who are skilled, communicative and lucky. If you soldier on and keep trying (despite how frustrating it gets) you will eventually get it.

If you want to glitch however then I have an easy solution which can also be applied to the 'Still Something To Prove' achievement. Simply follow this guide and prepare to bask in the beauty of a 35G achievement:

1) Load up 'Dead Centre' with 2-4 players.
2) Set the difficulty to its easiest setting and turn Realism Mode on.
3) Complete every chapter except the final one.
4) In the Safe Room before you go on to the final mission have all but one person quit to the main menu.
5) Let the remaining player collect nearly all of the gas cans.
6) The remaining player should then set the difficulty to Expert.
7) The players who quit out should then re-join as quickly as possible and put the last gas can(s) in whilst trying to survive against a lot of hard zombies.
8) Once you put the last can in and the cut-scene comes on, the players who quit and re-joined should get the achievement.
9) Re-do this guide so the loan person who stayed behind has a chance of getting it too. Fair is fair.

This is the way I earned this achievement, but it has been a while since then. I do not know whether the developers have implemented an update to rectify this problem as I barely (if ever) play this game any more.

Thankfully, the TA community are posting in the comments section about whether or not the glitch is still working. If you want my advice, keep looking at the comments to see whether you can use it or not.

*PuckJunkieJames and FedderTheGun have posted some interesting advice in the comments section, read that for further help with this achievement.

Can anyone confirm that this still works? My friend and I tried to do this today 07/24/11 and it didn't pop for him. I did all but the last gas can. I even left the final gas can in the spot it spawns in (front of the elevator). He did open the door before I changed the difficulty setting. However, after he did that we killed ourselves off and restarted in the safe room and then quit. I then changed the difficulty and got all but the one gas can. If anyone can give me some advice that'd be great. Thanks in advance!

Still works as of August 2010. Also, note that if the person targeting the achievement dies during the finale, you can all die and restart... then the target person can exit again while the primary switches back to easy and tries again. Doing all five campaigns like this works for the "Still Something to Prove" achievement and it took me and a buddy three or four tries to get Dark Carnival knocked out...but we didn't have to go back through the whole campaign, just the finale.

it is confirmed that if everyone going for the achievement leaves to main menu and the lone person disconnects, that he can just load it up again on the last chapter invite everyone at the end and it will work. ive tested this out on swamp fever not to long ago. but its best if you stick with the same character because switching might mess it up.

By abtimbad on 03 Mar 2011 00:03
yes, it is still working, me and my buddy tried it yesterday.. You'll have to play every chapter and quit inside the "Safe Room" of the final chapter.. Also you'll have to wait with joining the game until the small info box in the upper left corner shows that the difficulty has changed, not the info box before that (the voting)!!! I think you should add the "info box" to your guide, cause we both ended up doing the same mistake!
Anyway, it really helped us! thx a lot..

Very similar glitch to the ones outlined, but I personally found it much easier to do on the Parish campaign.

1. Start realism lobby on easy mode.
2. Play first chapters on easy realism, do not worry about anything, just have fun.
3. When you reach the saferoom for the finale (The Bridge), after the final chapter has loaded up, everyone who needs the achievement must quit to menu. Note, there must be at least one person still in game, two makes life easier.
4. Remaining players send invites to the players who left in prep, and then play most of the finale on easy realism. The players who left should just sit on the invite ready to accept. Take your time through, look after the AIs. Kill (not avoid) the first tank.
5. Coming to the end of the bridge, kill the second tank, and start making your way over to the helicopter.
6. When approaching the landing pad, do a quick check for a 3rd tank, if you see it, kill it. If not, as quickly as possible go to....
7. Call a vote to change difficulty to expert.
8. As soon as 'vote passed' changing difficulty box shows, the players who left immediately accept invites.
9. If all goes to plan. the AIs will have already climbed into the chopper and the end cutscene will be beginning to play (or already playing). The players who entered bash RT to 'enter' the game and the achievement pops without them needed to make a dash for it.

I agree, The Parish is the easiest campaign for this. It's where I got the achievement, and it's where I've helped others get it too. There isn't much of anything that Realism hinders here, as opposed to in Dead Center (gas cans in the finale) or Hard Rain (the reduced visibility makes it tougher seeing each other, therefore tougher to stay together).

After a few successes and failures, I've come to the conclusion that it's easier to run the bridge finale with one human, 3 AI, to the end before the vote/invitation acceptance. If two humans attempt it and aren't staying together perfectly, the two bots don't follow as closely and they aren't as effective in picking off specials by themselves. With only one human, the 3 AI are singularly focused on helping you get there.

Top (glitch-oriented) solution, in my opinion.

The host needs to stay meaning the players that leave are not the host. You will get disconnected if host leaves. Thumbs up from me otherwise. Best solution for this I think

There is a glitch you can do to get this achievement and it's really simple.
(This might be patched soon so don't tell me it doesn't work)
*Note that this must be done with atleast 2 people.

1. Start up a game on easy with realism.

2. Play through the game normally on any campaign until the last chapter. (Dead Center recommended)

3. Get most of the gas cans in the car and keep the last one close by.

4. The player getting the achievement needs to leave the game now.

5. Once the player still in the game kills the second Tank send the other player an invite to the game.

6. Get ready to vote the games difficulty back to expert, change it once the person accepts the invite.

7. Once he comes back put the last gas can in and get your butt in that car before another tank comes!

ALL GLITCHES HAVE BEEN PATCHED. So in order to do this you will have to delete the update and do this solo. You can use the same method by going back to the main menu and reloading the finale, i would suggest hard rain using the jesus table. Make sure you have the auto shotgun pipebomb and adrenalin, doable without the shot but it helps. Now you do have to watch out for a smoker in which the times ive done this he will be on the roof so watch out as he can still get you. This is IF he spawned before you got on the table, if he spawns after you should be good but still keep an eye out.

Once on the table crouch and "lights off", also make sure your back is to the wall. If your screen shakes when the the tank comes, don't freak as ive had him stand in front of me and die. I have also shot and killed him without him doing anything to me. Just make sure you don't move until the boat arrives, now when you hear the boat DO NOT leave the table or else you'll be standing at the dock waiting most likely to be killed. Just wait about 5 seconds then take your shot and make a mad dash to the boat. Best to throw your pipe bomb out the front of the store or any were but towards the boat(obviously).

Below is a video showing you were the jesus table is. He doesn't crouch or turn the light off but its still recommended.

Easy achievement to do on Hard Rain.
Load up Realism on its easiest setting.
Run through the first 4 safe rooms.
Before you start the finale, have anyone getting the achievement leave to main menu BEFORE opening safe room door.
Open door, run through and kill any normal infected around the burger shack.
Vote to change to Expert.
After vote is passed, invite players back into match.
Kill any bots as they will mess up the glitch.
Turn off your flashlights and get on Jesus table in crouched position.
The host of the game will be the one to throw the switch.
After you throw the switch, jump on Jesus table and wait for boat to arrive. There will be SI so make sure you get your partners' back on the table asap.
When boat arrives, wait a few seconds before throwing your Bile/Pipe Bomb out of the restaurant.
Slap adrenaline on and run for the boat!
Rinse and repeat using someone who got the achievement as a host.
Good Luck!

Credit to Maniac Strike as I used his technique which you can find under "Still Something To Prove". No Cache wipe needed. Done on Xbox One

Edit: 30/07/2018: I double checked today if this works on a second account of mine and unlocked it within an hour. Recorded most of the run on the bridge so I might try and upload it. It is not a very good run had a lot of problems with Special Infected. You may die at any point and you don't have to quit out. You can just keep trying till you succeed. Also if you have any question feel free to message me on either this or Xbox and I'll reply ASAP

26/07/2018: How I got the achievement was to first use the Mutation Gib Fest, which requires The Passing Dlc, to go through The Parish Campaign. I did this all on easy up until the last Safe House to Part 5: Bridge.

Once the game had loaded me into the Safe House I quit and went to Play Realism, Play With Friends, Create Lobby, Create Lobby. I selected Edit Game Setting, The Parish Campaign, Part 5: The Bridge, Expert Difficulty. I personally chose to play as Coach and then hit Start Game.

I grabbed an Automatic Gun, Pipe Bomb, Health Pack and Adrenaline.

As much as I found sticking to the left of the bridge to be helpful I also found sometimes cutting across the middle, or going up ramps, to be necessary to avoid Special Infected. About half way across the bridge, when you can go up the hummer in the middle to go up a ramp or stick left to go under, I used my adrenaline as there was then a truck up ahead on the left that had more.

Originally I was throwing my pipe bomb at the start but found it was a waste and was better saved for when I could see I was about to be swamped. Once I found a path that worked for me, I only had 2 problems left. Random Special Infected getting me or getting to the chopper, my team not being down or close and then a tank entering the chopper. These two things I can't really help with sadly but this achievement, in this way only took me 1 1/2 hours.

Good luck all and I hope this helps. My first solution so any feedback is appreciated

Having done this a few times (for myself and helping others), this is my recommendation as to the most reliable way of doing this (assuming you have The Passing DLC).

The Passing has the best ending for utilizing the glitch, as there is a decently long run to the rescue vehicle to allow people time to load into the game, and it is a pretty short campaign as well. Plus you have the original survivors to help cover you in the finale, and a chance of getting an M-60.

1) Someone who does not need the achievement should host a realism game on easy in The Passing campaign.
2) Once you reach the third section (The Port), have those who want the achievement quit to the main menu. If you are able to find an M-60, try to hang onto it and it's ammo.
3) Send invites to everyone who quit, but they should not accept yet. Everyone who left should be on the invite accept screen, ready to join when instructed. (You will need to be in a XBL party so they can be told when to join.
4) The host and anyone else who stayed in game should collect all 16 gas cans and load them into the generator. Try to keep your health in as good shape as you can, making good use of the readily accessible ammo pile. Your ideal loadout will be pipe bomb (or bile), adrenaline, and an M-60. But anything you can hold on to will probably be helpful.
5) Once the bridge starts to lower, wait for a break in the action, then call a vote to switch to expert and as soon as it passes instruct the people who dropped out to join ASAP.
6) While they are loading, those in the game can run as fast as they can towards the car. Use adrenaline if you have it, or pop some pain pills or whatever you have.
7) Once you get close turn around and start shooting at any zombies, coming across the bridge. This would be a good time to toss your pipe/bile/molotov.
8) Once everyone has loaded in (and hit RT to actually take control of their characters) hop in the car.

This is the hardest achievement to obtain. You can take this one with three other friends or with the AI.

You will need to:

  • Take your time
  • Learn the levels
  • Stay with your team
  • Practice

If you don't feel like spending hours trying to complete the campaigns on Expert or with Realism mode, you can use this guide to ease the pain.
