How to unlock the Unstoppable achievement in Operation Flashpoint: Red River - Definitive Guide

Here is an alternative solution for those having trouble getting this the proper way, thanks to GRESSER23 over on x360a for discovering this, all credit goes to him.

---------------------------------------
After giving up trying to get this achievement, a friend told me an easy way to unlock it. Didn't think it was possible but it worked for me last night, i'm now up 20 extra points, so here goes:

Choose the 4th map, red eye (not sure if it matters but this is the map i did it on.)

Choose your class as a grenadier, and be sure to choose C4 as one of your equipment items. Also pick the perk that grants extra C4, the other slots, weapons, etc don't matter.

When you start off, order your squad about 50 meters to the rear of the convoy (don't put them on a follow me order or board vehicle order, very important)

Next whip out the C4 and place 1 charge under each of the 4 Humvees in the convoy (if you crouch and aim just under the Humvee the charge should land under the vehicle itself)

Once all charges are in place get in your Humvee (it's important that your squad isn't in the Humvee at the same time otherwise the mission will start)

Meet up with your squad outside the blast zone. Jump out and detonate the C4 (the entire convoy needs to be destroyed)

You will fail everything and have to drive to the finish line, so get eveyone in the Humvee and floor it (you'll be shot at but just keep driving)

After Mustang says something about not getting a pizza box, the achievement will unlock, saving you potential hours of stress.
---------------------------------------

Also, from what I personally noticed - You don't have to have the C4, for those who haven't unlocked it yet. I used the sniper rifle in the building near the start. Shot all the crew in the cars and shot the cars themselves and they blew up fairly quick. Same results.

Dude, that is awesome. Thanks for sharing. I was dreading going for that achievement. I'm glad I found this before they patched it.

Whats to down vote on this. It works a treat, takes less than 3 minutes and its easy. I think people who down vote really need to get a life or man up and explain why they negative vote. +1 from me

Great solution! What I did was drive the Truck directly opposite where the convoy was across the mountains until the guy on the coms tells you to get back into the AO. Then by that point I drove down the hill as fast as I could across the bridge and up the road to the destination. Only got shot once. Just skips going through the towns getting shot by RPGs etc.

What I can gather from the comments above is that this works. So I'm going to try this on Thursday when I'm off work. I think one of your other guides really helped me out on Bad Company once so once again, great guide.

I've tried for this achievement before and it's hard to keep track of where the convoy is, whilst getting shot from multiple directions. I usually get quite far until some sneaky RPG guy manages to fire a wild shot and get a lucky hit on one of my Hummers. Proper Ball Ache! if this works, you'll get a posi vote from me.

This Solution was given to me by my friend MOLOCH 76.

Cattle Drive

4 human players a must.

It will take you several attempts to learn where the RPG's are,
(check those roof tops).


Both Hummers , zoom away from the moving convoy.

At the start..........

As you encounter bad guys - one Hummer stops but the other carries on.

The Team that carry on will spawn the bad guys , kill a few and move on.

The 2nd Hummer will arrive to mop up

Continue this sequence...

PRIORITY = Kill RPG's
2ndry = the small arms fire enemy as these will not stop your convoy.
(we found that sometimes an enemy in the road will stop the convoy)

The Hummer that carried on will meet resistance while all this is going on and will do the same process.

Keep leap-frogging like this along and waaay ahead of the convoys route.


Alternatively - - After the bridge we had one pair drop out of the Hummers and be a fast Kill Team that swept through the buildings to make them clean of any enemy.


IMPORTANT

[a] - never park on the road (or even NEAR the road) - it will stop the convoy if they catch up with you !

(b) - whoever is driving will find it necessary to take up hill shortcuts , etc. This gives the .50 Cal Gunner the view they'll need of the targets and keeps you away from the road.

[c] - Gunners - Learn your target locations and give clear and loud Stop / Go orders to your driver.

[d] - Drivers - Learn your route and the shortcuts , remember the usual Stop places for your Gunner - be prepared to have to get out and shoot from the cover of your Hummer (Snipers make good drivers).

The very best of luck guys.

There is an easy way to do this. When you start a Rolling Thunder mission on either of the VOD maps, before you get in the Humvee to initiate the convoy, shoot every single person in the other Humvees until Mustang says that the mission is scrubbed. You will still have to make it to the destination, so jump in a Humvee and book it to the marker. Once you have reached your destination, the achievement will unlock.

If you are playing with others online, the host should be doing the killing. If someone else does it, there’s a chance that they will get booted from the game.

In the "Rolling Thunder" VOD mode, you need to prevent the convoy from stopping more than once before reaching the base. You need to play in co-op, it won't work with bots. It's better to ride ahead in a hummer with a good machine gunner on the roof and shoot all the enemies.
