How to unlock the Headhunter achievement in Middle-earth: Shadow of War - Definitive Guide

You should get this setting up for the "All Warchiefs are spies" achievement. But all the advanced ones are different to tribes names.

I edited this once I figured out how to idntify them more easily.
The advanced class stats are shown under "Class Traits" on an Orc's info page.
They're:
Destroyer
Assassin
Tank
Slayer
Beserker
Tracker
Marksman
Beastmaster
Commander
Trickster (thanks to DoT Lord for reminding me)

The easiest to take down are Destroyer, Tank, Slayer and Beserker. Purely because they tend to develop the same hates and weakness'.

The hardest is Commander, especially when he is in the Cursed tribe. This is because he has damage over time and can make his minions stronger.

I can't give any deffinitive ways on taking them down as each Orc will be unique to your game. Just find worms and discover their weakness'.

Does Bruz the Chopper count or do I need to find a random Tank?

I've opened loot boxes and dominated all classes listed in two different areas and still no achievement. Do you know if this achievement happens to be glitching on people?

They all are on this game.
It'll either unlock by itself within 24hours or a hard reset of your console may be in order.

Do you need to dominate/recruit every class at the same time or can it be done all along the game (if you lose someone) ?

Doesn't work for me. I recruited at least two of each class. The game isn't known to be buggy anymore when it comes to achievements so no idea what to do.

Got it during the Shadow Wars by randomly recruiting orc captains.

I've noticed quite a few on this game are buggy on the app. A few of mine have gone on to my accoubt over night before.
Tanks are the most common along with Marksmen. So shouldn't be too hard to test out the theory if Bruz doesn't count.

If you are struggling to recruit a specific class, you can use a loot box and it will count.

My achievement popped after I opened a reward loot box for completing an Online Vendetta.

The ten classes are:
- Assassin
- Beastmaster
- Berserker
- Commander
- Destroyer
- Marksman
- Slayer
- Tank
- Tracker
- Trickster

To unlock this achievement you need to recruit a follower of every advanced class. The classes are as follows;

  • Assassin
  • Beastmaster
  • Berserker
  • Commander
  • Destroyer
  • Marksman
  • Slayer
  • Tank
  • Tracker
  • Trickster

Once you have recruited one of each of the above classes the achievement will unlock.

Advanced Classes are a trait that captains have, for this trophy you must recruit at least 1 follower of each class. You can view a captain's advanced class in the army menu, press over a captain and check the 'Advanced Class' under 'Class Traits'.

The best way to go about this is to interrogate worms for intel on captains, you can also see the advanced class on captains that you run into whilst playing by using then to view their class traits.

There are 10 advanced classes in total listed below:
  • Assassin
  • Beastmaster
  • Berserker
  • Commander
  • Destroyer
  • Marksman
  • Slayer
  • Tank
  • Trickster
  • Tracker
It's very likely you will unlock this naturally as I did, you will be recruiting many captains over the course of the game.

First, through the orc “worms” (marked with a green diamond on the mini map), we learn about all the captains. Then go to “ Army ” and click on details ( ) on orc. Go to the 3rd tab on the left “ Class qualities ” and it will say “ Profile class ”.

Here are all the classes required for the trophy:
Hired assassins
Tamers
Berserkers
Commanders
Destroyers
Sharp shooters
Fighters
Tanks
Bloodhounds
Dodgers

Also, Bruz the Chopper (the orc who teaches you everything) does not count as a tank, so I had to kill another tank because of this.

Go to the "manual" - "sworn enemies" - "profile classes" and find a description of the orc classes and recruit the missing ones

The missing ones fell in war chests, which are purchased in the store.
