How to unlock the Shoot the Messenger achievement in Resident Evil 5 - Definitive Guide

First off: make sure to do this on amateur AND preferably in coop. The AI thought it would be hilarious to kill the 2nd guy on my first attempt( which didn't count towards the cheevo). Or simply take away all weapons from the AI.

1st: kill EVERYONE in the first area ( there's a single guy standing in a tower) . Continue through the door and after jumping up the coop-ladder a cutscene should start playing. Now the problem is: there's no bulletproof method to get him to spawn. The first time I've attempted this he spawned just by killing everyone. After that I had 7-8 tries which lead to nothing. The 2nd time he spawned I've killed everyone and picked up ONLY the key from one of the safes.

2nd: after getting through the huge area you have to run up some hills with 2 grenade launchers on top. Kill everyone in this area and the Agitator should spawn on the opposite wall.

3rd: In "overtime" make sure to kill the first boss quick ( save the magnum for that) and around the 30 sec - mark the 3rd and last Agitator should spawn. I recommend to save the rocket launcher for him. Just to be on the safe side.

Comment if you have further questions / issues.

ONE Person has to kill ALL 3 in ONE go. It's not glitched.

Because you killed 2 out of 3 in one run. Have YOU personally killed ALL THREE Agitators in ONE run yet?

Still BS that I had to do it AGAIN!

Out of 20 tries trying to get the first Majini Agitator to spawn, he has shown up once following this guide. This seems like it's very bugged, because I can't imagine they would put an enemy on an RNG like that for 1,000 score points that mean nothing.

Took 4 attempts to get the first guy to spawn, and ended up getting the Achievement after killing the second guy (I guess I may have killed the third guy on a previous playthrough). Unnecessarily frustrating Achievement.

FRIIIICK!!!

playing amateur through with AI, 1st guy shows up, so i'm happy he spawned, kill him.

2nd guy shows up like planned, no problem.

3rd guy spawns about the 30 second mark. i unload on him and his 2 friends. he sprouts the head tentacle thing and i keep unloading on him, he goes down a couple times, keep shooting.

then what happens while i'm reloading? FRIKKIN JILL (AI) SHOOTS HIM ONCE OR TWICE AND KILLS HIM. and she did so like right before the timer ended so i didnt really have time to reload the checkpoint.

ugh. so unbelievably stupid that YOU have to be the one to kill the agitator instead of just you and your partner together. 15 points isnt worth this much hassle.

I killed 4 on amateur. In second area 2 spawned. Killed both as I took weapons away from ai. One spawned about half way through then another in final areas I definitely killed all 4. 0% on achievement?

Note: only one of the agitators that spawn on the upstairs area counts towards the achievement, if you wait and kill more they don't count.

Not buggy and this is intended.
We see a cutscene everytimes one appears.
They did that just for that achievement even if in the game, this seems like a normal enemy.
Easy achievement, just really luck based for the first one.
Quit and start again everytimes you don't see him after doing the coop jump.
If you got him in the first area, you should get the others too.
For the second area, check far away on the platform too; you need to kill all the enemies there, then he will spawn at that location.
For the third one, be really fast.
I couldn't find any rocket and I had to restart at 5 second cause he always his head becoming a big Los plagas. So what I did was being sure I had a flash grenade before he spawn, then shotgun him, and throw a flash after he's down. Be really fast cause you have only a few seconds and a lot of enemies around you at that time. Also, be sure to face the elevator before the 30 seconds mark.

I tried the trick to restart on the second one to kill it again, but I did not get the achivement from redoing that. Had to go to the end and get the guy on the elevator. I meticulously killed everything at every point, but still only got the 3 mentioned. Couldn't find the 4th that someone else got.

A little tip for people trying to get the first guy to spawn.

When you go to the rooms with the safes or the room with a gun or sometimes grenades (its a toilet i think) you need to stay in these rooms for 10-30 seconds because this spawns 3-4 guys in each. If you go in them grab the items and come straight back out they DO NOT SPAWN, you need to wait a bit.

The room up stairs is hard to judge when the enemies spawn because these enemies spawn when other enemies are on the map. Just wait in the room to make sure.

Going up ladders also spawns enemies but only go up one ladder at a time, going up them all does not spawn all enemies just one set for one ladder. So go up one ladder kill the enemies then go up the next one and so on.

As stated by others if you have killed everyone the guy spawns with a cut scene when doing the co-op jump.

Also I can confirm YOU need to get the killing blow not the AI or a co-op friend.

For those who don't appear the first majini like me after a lot of tries, just follow this video. It worked me on first try.

Alright, I am now positive on how to get this one. The Agitator Majini are the ones that carry around the white megaphone, and it shows a cutscene of them appearing. The Big Man Majini with a megaphone does not count. Best done on Amateur.

1) In the first area, make sure to kill everyone! And you may be sitting there a while, but keep going until you are 100% sure that no one else is in the area. Make sure to climb up the ladder that leads to a room with a safe in it, and to check the other room with a safe. And also check the bathroom area. It is rumored that you have to climb up all 3 ladders, so just go ahead and do that, just in case. And don't touch the door until the enemies are gone. Then when you go through the door, wait to climb up the Co-op ladder, and kill the guys that jump down. When that is done, Co-op jump up the ladder, a cutscene should happen and run back to the original area to find the Agitator.

2) In the area with the 2 rocket launcher turrets, when Jill has to co-op jump up a ladder and go around to let Josh in. Do not let Josh in just yet. Same as before, just kill all enemies. It may seem endless, but guys will eventually stop jumping down. When at the 2 rocket launcher turrets, if you look straight across, there are some enemies up there on that platform that you need to kill. That is also where the Agitator will spawn eventually. Use either a sniper of the turret to take him out.

3) At the end area, where you have to survive. Make sure to just keep killing for the whole time, and remember once you run out of time from the first 5 minutes, it will raise up to 2:30 again., so don't panic if you don't get the achievement before then. Be sure to kill ALL of the enemies that spawn out of the elevator, and be sure to also kill the guys that jump down (like the Reaper thing, with the arms and slashes you) For me, on Amateur, it was Red Executioner from the elevator, Reaper, Red Executioner, then the Agitator spawned with around 25 seconds left the 2nd time. Be sure to kill him right away. If you don't kill him right away, the time will expire, and the DLC will end. Flash grenades work well on the things that pop out of heads. A tip is to put proximity mines in front of the elevator, so when the enemies walk out of the elevator they hit them and get hurt. I stayed in that area in front of the elevator, that has the opening, and the window to the right when looking towards the elevator.

The Agitator Majinis' are the guys dressed in black and white with the megaphones. If done correctly, there will always be a cutscene to announce their arrival. There are only three found in the game, so if you miss one you’ll have to start all over again. Check out the video below which nicely lays out the locations and requirements to make each one appear. Note that the video describes a glitch where the trophy is obtained after only killing two of the Agitators. Unfortunately I was not so lucky and had to deal with all three for the trophy to pop.

***Much thanks to the fellas at RoosterTeeth for creating this excellent video!***

The first Zombie Agitator is at the beginning of the level, but his appearance is a big glitch. There is a way with which you can very likely kill this dude with a megaphone in his hands.

1) You need to find the key to the door, it can be found in two places, either in the safe, or it falls from the corpse of a zombie who is standing near this very door. It is VERY IMPORTANT that the key falls from the zombie, if the key is found in the safe, then press restart before that until the key falls from the dead zombie.

2) After the key is found, DO NOT pick it up. First you need to kill all the zombies in this area (check each room twice, climb onto the roof, check all the corners so that no one is left alive)

3) We select the key, but DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. About 5 or 6 more freaks will appear. We wait for them to jump over the fence and knock everyone down.

4) Open the door, jump onto the stairs and this guy should appear, but then it’s a matter of technique.
I did everything on easy difficulty.

It doesn’t matter if the key is in the chest or if it fell from a zombie, but follow the other points!

The first Majini stubbornly refused to appear on the Amateur. Even on “normal” it appeared only 2 times out of more than 40 attempts. I started playing in co-op (local) and showed up right away.

PS: bots do not spawn indefinitely, incl. 150 can be achieved already in the location with guns, if you clear it completely.

I would like to add a couple of tips to the above.

1) Simply take this trophy while playing with a friend on Amateur difficulty

2) After picking up the key, we ALWAYS let the attacking zombies climb over the fence to you - that is, we kill them when they have already climbed over.


3) We do everything as in the hint - we kill all the zombies in the first location, but do not open the gate. ATTENTION! There are actions that must be done before opening the first gate! Namely - you or your partner need to use all the stairs in this location (even just like that) - climb the parabaltic antenna both from the inside and from the side, go up to the room with the safe, jump onto the truck.

4) If you do everything like this, then the first agitator will appear with a probability of 101% .

5) When you find yourself in location No. 3 (with rocket launchers), before leaving this zone, be sure to pick up an RPG on the roof of a two-story building, which you will run through after blowing up the first red gate. And save it until the end of the game.

6) The 2nd agitator appears without glitches

7) Now the target is agitator No. 3. He will appear when all the mini-bosses are killed at the last countdown - so we bring everyone down mercilessly. As a rule, he appears 50-30 seconds before the end of the game. Be careful! If the countdown timer is already less than 1 minute, we hang around the elevator, shooting everyone along the way. Immediately after the cut-scene in which a zombie with a bullhorn comes out of the elevator, we uncover the “postponed” RPG and fire a salvo.

It doesn't matter where the key is. We kill all the mainis in the 1st location, then open the door and throw Jill on top. The agitator appears behind the truck in the 1st location. Write to anyone who needs help. Let's find a time and go through.
