How to unlock the It Takes A Village...Out achievement in Medal of Honor - Definitive Guide

This achievement will naturally drive you insane if you think that it will unlock on a single playthrough (at least in my case). Fortunately though this is a cumulative one like many of the others in the game.

The best course of action in order to get this achievement is to play through the entire Gunfighters mission, destroy as many buildings as you can, and complete the level. You must complete the level or else the building count does not register. From there, exit to the main menu and restart the mission.

Based on your experience at playing the game this may take more than two playthroughs but I was able to get it in two so I can only assume the rest of the community can do it as well. Several people have commented that they got it on their first try but for the life of me I couldn't unlock it in one pass.

Jack and Geoff from Achievement Hunter confirmed this today so if you need video proof then here you go:

I just did this on my first try too. You have to take out most when your rockets are not infinite and your the hydras can overheat but there's a point when your fellow Apache is hit by an RPG and at this point I was spamming RB and there were a couple of buildings that were either out of the way or really small so just pick your shots and shoot often and you can get this in one go.

For some reason I got this on my first go after taking out about half the buildings.

All of you people above simply amaze me. I spent maybe an hour or so trying to get this right and I never got it. Kudos to all of you for having a far faster trigger finger.

May we never meet on opposite sides of a Medal of Honor map...

I also got this on my first playthrough of this level. You can definitely get it in one go. I posted a solution below to reflect this. Like the first comment says, just shoot everything and you will get it. You should edit this solution because as it stands it is not accurate.

Strange =/ It didn't unlock until my third flythrough-- I had about four buildings left when it did. I destroyed all the buildings on the first and second passes. The first time I played through straight, the second I exited to main menu after the long snipe part loaded.

Same Problem/Glitch here, didn't unlock until third fly-trough, and no i did not miss any
building on my first two runs. I destroyed everything. Thanks for the tutorial, i was about
to give up the second time until i read this one and the comment of teamwrk (no normally i don't give up easly but i am used to it that EA achievement will glitch and there will be
no more ways to unlock them other than removing the save game and starting over again.)

If anyone is still having trouble getting this achievement, try playing the level on Hard difficulty. I played the level three times on medium, blew up every building, and still got nothing. Once I switched to Hard, the first building I blew up gave me the achievement.

Earned this on hard during my first try with several buildings to spare. I noticed a few times when the smoke cleared that a building I thought I had destroyed was still standing, so I shot it again to finish it off. Just gotta be diligent with both the machine gun and missiles.

Thanks for the help guys. Just wanted to say that it took me three playthroughs for the achievement to pop up and I was playing on hard and raining hell with missiles so just keep trying if it doesn't show.

You can get it on the first try, just shoot the building until there is nothing left of them.If you shoot the building once you only destroy about half of it and that counts as one building. Shoot it again to finish the building and then it is registered as two separate buildings. This should work because it did for me on the first run through.

Super easy to do on first try and very possible. What Solar Nephilim said is 100% correct. Each building can count as more than one. The first hit that partially destroys it counts as one and the second hit that fully destroys it counts as another. Got it before I'd even destroyed all the buildings on my first try. Could have been patched though so maybe it wasn't possible originally. I was playing on Hard.

During Gunfighters

You will come across a village pretty early on, hard to miss it. You want to rain done on everything with RB. Hit as much as you can and the achievement with unlock pretty quickly. Buildings take multiple hits to destroy and there are more than 30.

From o0Eviltoaster0o's comment -
"You need to play the level twice, go through the entire thing once destroying all the buildings you can, and restart the level by beating it to the end, this will save the amount of buildings you've destroyed. (DO NOT RESTART CHECKPOINT, DOING SO WILL RESET THE AMOUNT OF BUILDINGS YOU DESTROYED). The second run through the mission should get you the achievement, in the first, you'll probably get about 20, the second finished it off with the final 10 you needed. I haven't gotten this achievement yet, but I heard this worked. Hoped it helped."

I played through the game once, then replayed this level to get the achievement so multiple plays of the level may be required

Note : If anyone is struggling to get this to unlock a comment was left here, that if you save the game to your HD and replay, it will unlock.

If you are going to vote negatively please leave a comment as to why, so i can make my solutions better

I never had it install on hd, also make sure you are destroying them not just damaging them. I kept going untill only the base was left then focused on the next building. Using the hell fire rockets takes a couple of hits to actually destroy them,i shall update solution with your suggestions

I did it first try on Hard as well. The 'Hard' difficulty appears to be the recurring theme with those that did it first time?

I had it on my hard drive, but also got it first time playing hard. Not sure if the buildings have to be totally levelled? For me it appeared you could damage a building, but an extra shot will destroy it entirely.

You DO NOT need to play through this level twice to unlock this achievement. I just unlocked it on my FIRST try on this mission on hard. Simply use your rockets (RB) to destroy the buildings as you fly around. 2-4 rockets should take out most buildings. Let the rockets reload up to at least 2 before you fire. Lay into the buildings with your cannon as well. I think I destroyed every building but I am not positive.

Good for you d3v11sadvocat3, My guide is a FYI that might be helpful not set in stone that you have to do it this way. It worked for me, the guy above and several of my other buddies.

Wow this achievement is so random! I played through this level at least 6 or 7 times on every difficulty, but it randomly just popped in the middle of the mission after the cinematic. My guess it that you just have to keep playing the level repeatedly until it pops, because I know I blew up at least 100 buildings in total! haha

I got the achievement without even destroying the whole village so it would appear that this achievement is just really buggy. Also just to add on you have to completely level the buildings so it doesn't count if you just damage them. Good luck!

After you destroy the 3 mortars, you will fly for a short period of time and encouter more enemies with many buildings around. These are the only buildings in this level, so make sure you destroy as many as you can. Use to fire your rockets and try to destroy all the buildings. Try to destroy the buildings that are off to the side of the town. If your rockets are reloading, wait until more than 2 shots reload (reloads all the way up to 8). You can check how many are loaded by looking at the bottom right corner where it says HYD X/XX. Firing multiple rockets is a faster method for destroying buildings.

This achievement may be a bit glitchy as many people have had problems with it, but you can obtain it! This achievement is not accumulative, so you must destroy 30 buildings in one playthrough of the level. Make sure you completely level the buildings so no walls are standing and that you get the buildings off to the side of the town. As long as you don't destroy the main blue building at the end when the countless RPGs are firing at you, you will continue to stay in that area. You can then continue to destroy any buildings or walls left standing, but if you take too long, you may get hit by an RPG and eventually die. You should get the achievement when you destroy one of the few remaining buildings, or even the last one.

In this mission you are piloting a gunship and soon you will come across a village with three trucks. Dispose of them and any enemy soldiers using MG , use Hydra Rockets to destroy all the buildings in the area. The whole building must be blown up, all walls down. You can keep firing rockets in burst fires until you need to reload. Very easy to achieve as you will be circling the village for 2-3 rounds. If you don't get it the first time, DON'T restart from checkpoint. Complete the level then replay it again:

Mission "Strelka" (sixth in a row). It's simple, you will clear the village, shoot at all the buildings that are there and you will definitely get the achievement.

When you destroy the village and if the achievement does not open (do not start the checkpoint), start the task again.

Guys! Those who play on easy or medium difficulty levels may not get the achievement 90% This is a bug in the game! Set the difficulty level to hard and replay this task and everything will be fine!
