How to unlock the Big Gun achievement in Pinball FX3 - Definitive Guide

At the center top of the table are two balls, referred to as "Lock n Load" just to the right of the Titan Skill. This is what to aim for. A new weapon is unlocked after an increasing number of hits; the weapons are unlocked in a random order but the BFG will always be last, requiring the most hits. Progress is carried between balls

After acquiring the BFG, it should be auto-equipped. If you need to check, or equip it, holding LAUNCH will bring up a weapon wheel. The BFG is on the left side of this wheel

During any combat, hit a target, ramp or lane labelled "SHOOT" with the BFG equipped and the achievement will pop. These SHOOT targets are randomly assigned and periodically change during combat. There are always three lit in this way; you only need to hit one

If you are specifically going for this achievement, don't take any unnecessary risks. The spin plate (Pit of Evil/Secret Area) in the top right in particular leads the ball to come to spin and as such fall towards ball out randomly. The shot itself is hard to line up, but I find I have the most success firing from the hinge of the left flipper. A sideways nudge may be needed to prevent the ball falling directly down (the Lock n Load is directly above ball out)

Useful upgrades to equip are Ball Saver and Rewind. Ultimately it's more about keeping the ball in play as best you can and shooting towards the Lock n Load at any opportunity you can

Good luck 🌷🧡

Note: When the game first starts you have the option to select your difficulty (Nightmare or Hurt Me Plenty). In order to make this trophy easier, I suggest that you choose "Hurt Me Plenty". As Nightmare disables ballsaves, kickbacks, extra balls and other life saving features.

Step 1: Acquiring your arsenal and the BFG
The guns are acquired in a random order in this game but the BFG is always the last gun you will acquire while building up your arsenal. Therefore, you must acquire all the guns before lastly acquiring the BFG. To acquire a gun shoot the orange captured ball at the top center of the table. After two hits, you should acquire your first random gun. However, each gun after that will require another subsequent hit. For example: Your second gun would require 3 hits to the captured ball and so on. You automatically start with the pistol and there are 7 guns needed to be acquired:

  • Plasma Rifle
  • Super Shotgun
  • Chaingun
  • Lightning Gun
  • Rocket Launcher
  • Gauss Canon
  • BFG9000


Step 2: Start a Mission:
Shoot the Ball into the glowing yellow hole in the skull's mouth (left of captured ball you shot at to get your guns). Next, use your flippers to select a mission as this will provide you with enemies and demons on the table.

Step 3: Selecting the BFG and firing it:
While the ball is in motion on the table press and hold . This will bring up a weapon wheel for you to select which weapon you want to equip. Use your flippers to cycle left and right through the guns. Let go of the on the gun of your choice to select that gun. Your in game character on the table will then wield the weapon you chose. Next, look for a flashing lane or ramp that says "SHOOT". Shoot the ball in that lane or up that ramp to get your character on the table to fire his gun. If you had the BFG equipped then the trophy will pop.
