First you need to unlock Zombies either through direct purchase in the store or through beating them in Blitz Gauntlet.

If you have a friend to play against this will be much easier.

First enter the Zombie / Zombie Team code.
Zombie: NFL, Whistle, NFL
Zombie Team: Goal, #1, Goal

This is a defensive play against an on fire opponent. The easiest way to get the other team on fire is to take 2 sacks in a row.

Riding the opponent's back is a random standard tackle that can happen when you run up behind the on fire receiver. So if playing the AI you need the QB to throw to the on fire WR and then get the lucky tackle. FUN!

At least with a friend you can be sure they will throw to the right receiver.

So a good way to make this quicker is to go to your own zone and let them catch you so there is a safety. That will make one of their players turn on fire. Much quicker than going to their side of the field and getting sacked a couple of times.

Then you want to choose suicide blitz and be on the side with the player on fire.

When I got this the player on fire was behind the guy with the ball that was not on fire. I run to stop the guy that was running towards a touchdown and my zombie climbed up on him. I got the achievement even if it was not the guy on fire. So it might be enough that you have one of their players on fire. I am just glad I got this one done.

Very frustrating achievement and I could not do it with 2 controllers. Much tougher that way for me.

Does diff matter on getting to battle the zombie team in Blitz Gauntlet cause i just started Blitz Gauntlet and i don't see the zombie boss battle. Please help me

The order you go against teams is random. You will have to play the mode several times to get all the teams. You can quit and re-start a new Gauntlet to try to get a different team at the top.

So once u beat that team u won't face them again? Like i just beat the horse team and unlocked them so i won't face them again if i start a new one right?

By NitrousSpeed on 18 Jan 2012 20:34

Can u tell me what button u have to press when going to try to ride the on fire guy?

By NitrousSpeed on 01 Feb 2012 02:58

There is, unfortunately, no way to guarantee the riding. It's a random animation when doing a tackle. It may not happen for a 100 times and then happen twice in a row. Just keep going for a standard tackle on the on fire WR.

I got it and your right it took me like a 100 times to ride the on fire guy. Then it happened twice in a row.

By NitrousSpeed on 02 Feb 2012 08:09

i've been trying this for a few days now and no luck is A not the standard tackle button or is it really that random a thing to do that it could possibly never happen or happen within 10 min more of trying

Can this be done in local vs?

By Darkness727420 on 24 Mar 2017 04:03

Yes, yes it can be local vs. just did it myself and two controllers. First time no less, what luck!

By Darkness727420 on 24 Mar 2017 04:16

I got this local with 2 controllers. I chose a team with great offense for the opposing team, and a team with crap defense for my team. For the offense, I chose the default play, and for defense I chose suicide blitz (to give me time to switch controllers without one of my teammates tackling the WR). I just ran up behind the WR to tackle (I didn't hit A or any other buttons). What a PITA achievement!

To unlock this achievement, you need to have unlocked the Zombie fantasy character. This achievement is easiest if boosted with a friend locally or online. Start up a game with a friend, and enter one of the following codes:

NFL Logo, Whistle, NFL Logo (Zombie character)
Goal Post, #1 Foam Finger, Goal Post (Zombie team)

Let your friend gain fire using one of the methods listed in the En Fuego guide. Have him throw to the receiver on fire, and tackle him from behind while holding turbo. This doesn’t always trigger the necessary animation, but it eventually will.

I would suggest running goal line defense when your friend is on offense, so the on fire receiver is wide open. Then, it is just a matter of running up from behind and tackling him.

Before you can attempt this, you will first need to unlock the Zombie. So head on over to the Gauntlet and beat him, or the Blitz Store and shell out 20,000 Blitz Bucks for him. Either way, you need to get him.

Now start up a game. This can be done in any game mode, but I suggest just Play Now or Gauntlet to make it easier. In the code entering screen make sure you enter the code for either Zombie or Zombie Team. Start by driving down the field to about the 10 or 20 yardline. Now get the other team on fire by letting them sack you at least twice. Once they are on fire, simply get a Turnover on Downs to get the ball to them.

Now, they will be on offense with plenty of field ahead of them to ensure you have the most amount of attempts per drive. I suggest you choose a play such as Suicide Blitz so that all AI players on your team blitz, and have your player controlled character wait back for the pass. They should still be on fire, so wait for the QB to pass it to one of the WRs, then tail him. Make sure you are close and completely behind him, then dive with

.

If you are lucky, you will dive at the receiver and ride his back for a while before taking him down. Chances are this will take several tries, because sometimes the dive will just tackle the receiver instead of ride his back. If they get all the way to the endzone and score, or they lose their fire, then just start this process over until you get it.
