How to unlock the Hawkguy achievement in Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 - Definitive Guide

Hey everybody!

This solution is meant to make your life a bit easier, because this might be frustrating for some players.

--------------------------------------------

First things first : to locate Crazy Target Range you need to go under the map. When you're out of your safe zone, doesn't matter what side you are on, go to the flag, if you're a plant, go right from the flag, if you're a zombie, left of it. There is a slum kind of entrance. Enter it and go inside, a bit of a maze there. You need to jump one level down, where there is a fish lying on the table and a big exclamation mark above it. Right after the fish is a big gate. This is Crazy Target Range.

In order to enter it, you need to pay 5 stars. Stars are earned via completion quests, which you can pick from your quest board at your home location.

---------------------------------------------

The target range itself is not hard, but in order to get a 'S' rank, you'll need to finish it in less than 22 seconds. Those of you who played Modern Warfare 1 know how frustrating this can be.

Just a few tips : after trying with almost every class I realized that having a splash damage is the key to this. So in my case, I had a Toxic Peashooter equipped, but it works with a regular peashooter as well.

Get in the first room, try to shoot as left as you can on both sides, if you're lucky, you won't need more than two shots.

Right after this activate your Hyper. Run to the other room, don't try to enter it since the exit is to the left. Shoot two left targets, the moving one and the one to the right.

This is the point where you'll want to reload.

Up the stairs is one target in front of you, turn right - another one, on the right wall - two more. If you shoot right between them - you'll get them both.

The exit is to the left. Don't jump down! Just shoot at the wall in front of you. Again - if you're lucky, you'll get all three targets in one shot. The last target is on the left below. Once you hit it and finish it in the time mentioned above - you'll pop the achievement.

If you know that you messed up too much, at any point you can press and hold cn_B button to restart the course. Wait a few seconds until your Hyper ability has recharged.

----------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps you, my fellow gamers!

If you have any improvements - just let me know in the comments!

I did it with the Imp on my 3rd attempt. His guns have a high rate of fire and he is pretty quick too. I think my time was around 18 seconds with him.

19:22 after about 5 runs. Splash Damage is key, as is figuring out where to hit the walls so that more than 1 target gets hit.

I found the peashooter (just the regular peashooter) to be the easiest. Thanks for the tip.

Using Toxic Pea is such a smart recommendation. Took me only two times, the splash damage is SUPER helpful

I got it with the corn in about 21:40. High rate of fire, easy to shoot without aiming. Doesn't move fast though so you have to be really accurate with him. Took me around 20 tries lol

Got it on my 4th go, thanks a lot. 👍 I would add - if you're doing it as a Peashooter, the blue bases that most the targets are on seem to be a good thing to shoot at, rather than the targets themselves (at least for the targets that are on their own).

I think people are pissed off that the achievement is frustrating and disliking the solution which isn't really fair but until TA come up with some way to sort it out, solution posters are just gonna have to put up with it.

I'm just going to add a quick solution here using Super Brainz (electro)

I used electro brains but the principle is the same across all. Basically you're using the method as the pea shooter but with a far easier auto fire and big splash.

Room 1 -- hold left trigger and aim at the left target, as soon as the door opens fire and hold right thumbstick (AIM) to the right whilst firing THEN super kick into the next room.

Room 2 -- immediately be aiming at the first left target and keep aiming firing from left to right all the targets as you back out the door.

(at this point there is a chance for an overheat and cool down so there is time here)

Room 3 -- now fire the left target when next to it and aim and spin left to right
OR
walk past the first target aiming back at it and shoot whilst turning left and backing up
(whichever works best for you)

as you spin round you now want to hit the LB super ultra ball as soon as you are aimed near the three targets in front of you. AND BE READY TO FIRE AT THE LEFT TARGET.

--> as a side note i found you can also take out the left and bottom two targets if you aim at the left of the house then shoot out the moving target -- again whichever works best for you.


-- this should roughly be an easy 21 second run, not the fastest but enough for this achievement

I couldn't get used to my sensitivity for this task with the pea so found this much easier
Hope this helps

Thanks for the guide. I have some tips to add: If you use the superkick right after the countdown starts you can dash through the door and walk halfway into the room before the gnomes spawn AND the superkick will be available again between room 2 & 3. If you aim the second superkick towards the wall / corner it'll destroy a gnome in room 3. You can also use the super ultra ball twice with this method (I suggest in room 1 before the gnomes spawn & room 4).

And you can move a bit faster when doing regular punches (RT) whilst walking.

Absolutely perfect, i couldn't make it happen quite quick enough with any peashooter i had but nailed it at just the second attempt with an ordinary bog-standard Super Brainz

If you don't have a splash pea, or want a more precision approach (I didn't even think about splash damage, I just used Agent Pea for precision and quick firing).

Just keep moving towards the door and taking out targets on the way. Between areas use hyper speed and reload. Should only take a couple practice runs to learn where they are. In the last room don't be afraid to fire 2-3 shots in a row at the window target.

I found this really easy with citron. Got it on my 3rd try. Best thing about him is the laser so you can just spray at the targets. Do one dry run to see the route and where the targets are (16 total), and then go for it!

Use the pea shooter, for most of the gnomes you can shoot at the blue part under the gnomes and the splash damage destroys the targets, this is described in most solutions, but what also helps is, in the first room after a few steps just drop your pepper while walking towards the door.
It will take out the 4 targets at once.

So now you still have 10 shots after this room, in the second room use them, as soon as you see the left target when going arround the corner take it out, we sweep from left to right, so the next is the moving one, after the last target in this second room immediately press your extra speed power and reload buttons. Run up the ramp, just when you reach the first target of third room your reload is about done so you can take it out right away. In this room you can shoot the blue things under all targets easily, don't even aim for the targets themselves.

In the last room first take the moving target, when it's in the last window. if you shoot just below the window you might take them all in 1 shot, It can save your time if needed, but I didn't do it on my best run as it felt quick & didn't want to take the risk at that point.
Just keep standing at the top of this room, you don't have to make it to the exit, hitting the last target, in this case the one on the left, will stop the clock.

Don't forget to talk to the gnome for a S-rank reward afterwards.
The following video shows these techniques (not mine), my first run was like 30+sec, then I watched this vid and dropped to 20.24 in less then 10 tries. had a 22.08 before that :)
Hope it helps, good luck.

If you can aim better that me (most can lol) here is a link to my YouTube video on how I did it I found with the all star if you tsp the start button charge through the door & drop an imp punt immediately this can shave off a great deal of time also aiming an imp punt at the end can save some seconds.

Go to the Backyard Battleground

Go to the Quest Board

Complete the quests to earn a recommended 15 stars for other trophies (though you only need 5 for this trophy)

Go to the Flag of Power and (from the Plants perspective) go right, drop off the ledge and the sewers will be behind you.

At the end of the sewers in the big open room, go to the back and lowest level.

Here you will find a door to the Crazy Target Range you will need to open

I used the peashooter personally but any character should do
