How to unlock the Police Brutality achievement in PAYDAY 2: CRIMEWAVE EDITION - Definitive Guide
Difficulty: Any
This achievement requires you to use the telescopic baton which is unlocked at level 17, and can be equipped via the inventory menu under the melee category.
This achievement can be done on any contract with police reinforcements, and is most easily completed with other players online in order to take the enemy's attention away from you.
Shield enemies are basically any type of enemy that holds a riot shield and they will spawn on any difficulty, although they spawn more frequently on harder difficulties. Although they spawn more frequently, they are also much harder to kill on harder difficulties, so keep that in mind.
During your many heists, there will inevitably be a police assault and these enemies will spawn. You will need to get behind their shield and start whacking them with the telescopic baton until they die. It will take anywhere from 10-20+ hits to kill them, and you can weaken them with your pistol if you so desire. It can be very hard to get behind them if you are playing solo or with AI, so you may want to take turns doing this with a friend.
It takes at least 10-15 hits to kill them.
For this you will need to be a high enough level to use the telescopic baton. Once you have the baton, I suggest any of the transport missions on normal difficulty. Usually after the third police assault they will begin to send in shield units for your beating pleasure. You will need upwards of 15 strikes to the back of a shield unit to kill him on normal difficulty. Funny enough, you can get in a rhythm moving in a circle around the shield where the unit is never able to get their shield in front of them allowing you a constant target to hit. After you deliver the killing blow the achievement will unlock.
You need to be Level 17 in order to unlock the Telescopic Baton, it automatically unlocks when you reach that level. In order to kill a Riot Shield Enforcer you need to get behind him and just melee him. The trophy can be voided if a partner decides to shoot at the Riot Shield so you would want to avoid having a partner doing that. It can take quiet a few hits in order to kill him. Riot Shield Enforcer can spawn on pretty much any difficulty but the higher the difficulty the more frequent they spawn.
