How to unlock the Live by the Blade achievement in PowerWash Simulator - Definitive Guide

This is on the level "Clean the Fire Helicopter" and requires cleaning the Helicopter Blades first.

You'll have to completely clean the Rotor Blade and Tail Rotor Blades first before any other section of the helicopter. You can make it easier to identify these parts by going into the main menu and selecting the Rotor Blades or Tail Rotor Blades and they'll be highlighted in the world. By this point you should have the third upgrade for the powerwasher the Prime Vista 3000 and the yellow nozzle should work to take all of the dirt/grime off the blades and be accurate enough to not accidentally clean other parts. (Note: It's fine to hit other parts of the heli as long as you don't fully clean any other parts other than the blades )

There are 6 Rotor Blades and they're the big blades at the top of the helicopter

There are also 4 Tail Rotor Blades and they're at the back of the helicopter

I'd recommend going over the bottom of the Rotor Blades first with the yellow nozzle. You'll likely need the long extension to get the farther away parts of the underside with the yellow nozzle or you could use the red narrow nozzle. Next, use the scaffolding or ladder in the level to get on top of the heli and clean the top of the rotor blades. I used the yellow nozzle on the thinner part and then used the green nozzle on the wider part. Be sure not to clean the "Rotor Mast" the part that connects all 6 rotor blades. Check the main menu for 6/6 and Status "Clean!" then move to the tail rotor blades.

The tail rotor blades are somewhat trickier and the long extension was very helpful in cleaning these. You can also approach these from the top of the heli to get closer instead of using the extension. I used the yellow nozzle for all of the tail rotor blades. Again, be careful not to clean the "Tail Rotor Mast." You'll also need to clean the sides of these blades instead of just the outward facing parts so just maneuver around to avoid hitting other parts of the heli.

The achievement should unlock right after cleaning the last tail rotor blade. Let me know if there's anything else that could improve the solution!

If you go under the mode "Free Play" then Vehicles and then go over to Air you can replay cleaning the Fire Helicopter to get this achievement.

For me the helicopter job was available as soon as I reached 75 stars. It may depend on what cleaning route you choose.

Are we unable to replay this job? This is the only job that I cannot replay. I've been doing more jobs but nothing. Even the new jobs are able to be replayed but the heli isn't

Yes, you can replay it. When you go under "Free Play" switch the tab over to "Air" and if you've already done the Fire Helicopter in Career Mode it should show up there for replay.

Just a heads up. This one seems to actually unlock for your co-op partner. I'm on 25/40 and my partner who has played the game with me is now on 1/40.

I cleaned the tail rotor blades first and then the main rotor blades second and the achievement didn't pop. Did I do it backwards?

Is it possible to do this in Free Play? I missed this the firs time through, hoping I don't need a new playthrough

Ty as well DanTheWhale. Seems like the UI may need some updates to make those tabs more obvious.

Doesn’t under Xbox? No air tab and this was complete under Career mode.

Make sure you select the "Air" tab at the top of the "Vehicles" category in free play if you want to repeat this level, MagicMythics80.

Just so you all know, my game crashed at the end of the Helicopter mission and I couldn't replay it for a while. After a few hours, it came back up in "Free Play"

Fire Helicopter will unlock at about 75 stars and you will have to do the main blades and the rotor blades. There is a set of scaffolding to help you get onto the helicopter

Just for some clarity, this is the 6 main blades and the 4 tail blades. Each should give you some money once cleaned for a total of 10 complete.

For this trophy, you will need to do the big helicopter blades on top there will be 6, and then the 4 smaller ones near the back of the helicopter. Once you have them done you should get the trophy as long as you've been careful and have not accidentally cleaned anything else fully. If so once your done you can just go back to freeplay and do it. The trophies also work in coop.

Clean the blades first of the helicopter. This on the top and the tail. You can use the menu to find the following parts:

Rotor Blades (6)
Tail Roter Blades (4)

You can find this mission in Free play -> Vechicles -> Tab Air -> Clean the Fire Helicopter

In order to unlock this trophy, you'll have to complete the blades first on the Fire Helicopter. And by blades, we don't just mean the top main rotor blades, we also mean the four back rotor blades as well. Both sides of all of them too. Do that and this trophy is yours.
