How to unlock the No Power in Numbers achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - Game of the Year Edition - Definitive Guide

Its best to have a captain that is already dominated and under your control and have the dispatch ability unlocked.

Just check the map for power struggles labeled "Recruitment". If none appear at first, use the towers to fast forward time until one shows up.

Once in the Recruitment power struggle follow your captain to each recruitment area. Use the bow to headshot the yellow labeled uruks. Once the recruitment is over press down on the d-pad to kill all branded uruks.

Best to leave this till last as the dispatch ability is on the last tier of abilities.

I had to do this one multiple times, but it never worked for me using the dispatch skill. Instead I eventually ended up putting arrows in the heads of the followers, and then the captain.
I don't know if related, but I never found any random recruitment missions, I always had to start a warchief initiation to get one. Maybe the dispatch works better on random missions.

I did this first attempt without dominating the captain if that helps? I helped the enemy Uruk kill any rebellious Uruks by shooting the ones that try to attack him in the head from an aerial advantage. He moves on to the next bunch after a surrender audio queue. Once the mission is complete, jump down and murder everyone in sight. Target the captain and his followers should come to his aid.

I did a random recruitment, the captain saw me and I think that screwed things up because the yellow dots never showed up so I just went place to place watching him recruit and after he was successful then I jumped down and killed everyone. Got the achievement and saved some arrows.

Just like most of the comments, I had the achievement pop when I ambushed a non-Branded Captain after the Recruitment mission was completed. It was a random Recruitment mission, too.

Hearing a lot about how the Dispatch Method" doesn't work...........

I branded a captain, commanded him to be a bodyguard........went with him on the "Recruitment Power Struggle" mission........killed everyone but him, including his followers......as soon as it said "Recruitment Resolved", I killed him with my sword and the cheevo popped!!!

Still gave you a plus one!!!

+1 for me too. I didnt want it to glitch on me like was reported earlier, so I killed the Captain with my sword. No achievement... Then I noticed a few of the branded Uruk had run off to fight some unbranded Uruk. I chased them down and used cn_down to kill them and it popped. Looks like just the captain dying wont work. They all need to die.

The mission itself doesn't spawn for me. I've seen two in the past two days. Each time they fail for some reason.

I tried this in a number of ways, so I took off my rune that scares me with head shots. It worked.

Eu tentei isso de várias maneiras, então tirei minha runa que assusta com tiros na cabeça. Funcionou.

If you've tried every possible method and find that the achievement is still locked, I recommend that you delete all of your saved data and start over. After doing so, I was able to unlock it on my first attempt. Obviously, you'll want to unlock every other remaining achievement first.
