How to unlock the A Gun by Any Other Name achievement in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City - Definitive Guide

I got this a bit ago despite never buying any guns, I only scavenged what could be found in the game. I'd pick up any weapon I hadn't used and get at least one kill with it. It popped after using a Flamethrower.

There are only two special weapons; the Grenade Launcher and Flamethrower, and they can't be bought. Look for containers with shining chrome locks as you progress through the game, shoot the locks to open the container.

Flamethrower: The Flamethrower is right in the first mission. As you enter the room where you kill Spec Ops for the first time, clear all of them out until you get to the heavy doors that slide open to reveal 4 remaining enemies. Kill them and instead of moving through the doors, take the staircase to the right just before the exit, turn right and start heading down the walkways that aren't dead ends. Your destination is literally the walkway you first stepped on to when entering the room, except the case is on the opposite side of the fence you first see. (Thanks to Vandel Buster for this one)

Grenade Launcher: The launcher can be obtained right at the beginning of the Hospital mission early in the game. You walk past reception and turn left to find a locked door with a swipe card terminal. Head down the opposite hall, do not go through the double doors marked as an objective. Go into the room left of the doors, get the key card and backtrack to the room where you shoot the locks to bust open the case. Immediately after you open those double doors you'll have more than enough grenade fodder.

If you're still lacking the achievement after going on a killing spree with both the Grenade Launcher and Flamethrower, you need one of the other types of guns you can pick up off enemies. Remember that you only need one of each weapon type, as there are a handful of guns in the shop that I never found or killed with, yet still got the achievement.

From my experiences every case has had the same item it did previously. I never found a case until the hospital so I just went from there onward with the guide. Thanks for the info, I'll update if I can verify it some time soon.

...and the other weapon types? Well this was a useless solution. Next time you write a solution, finish it.

12 people seem to think I did finish it. Weapon types are really as straight forward as it sounds. Kill someone with a pistol, shotgun, rifle, etc. Sorry that wasn't obvious to you.

If it was obvious, why would I be looking for a solution?

The helpful part of the guide is apparent; I imagine people often overlook the flamethrower. However, Chosen One 41 is right; this is not a guide or list of weapon types required for the achievement.

Not sure if the case is randomized, but I found a flamethrower in mission 1. In the first room where you fight enemies. There's the stairs on the far right of the wall near the objective door (leads to Birkin). Climb up them, run across the walkway to the right and keep following it all the way. You'll end up over the entrance door. That case contained a flamethrower for me.

Haven't played for a few days, so I haven't replayed it to double check it.

There are 6 weapon types/clases:

Submachine Gun
Assualt Rifle
Sniper Rifle
Shotgun
Pistol
Light Machine Gun - This is the only weapon that you wont start out with but dont worry about buying one theirs plenty in the campign.

You have atleast 1 gun in these weapon types availible to you straight away so just get a kill with one them. There is no need to buy any weapons.

The 2 special weapons are:

Flame Thrower
Grenade Launcher

These are obtained from the Weapon Cases that you have to shoot the locks to open them.You can find all of the special weapons before the end of the 3rd campaign mission (Probally sooner)

Any kills you get the in Multiplayer with the weapon types or special weapons count towards the achievement.

Im unsure if the Frag & Incendiary grenades are needed for this achievement (Pretty sure their not) but again it wouldn't hurt to get a kill with both.

Ah, thank you. This is the only solution here that actually lists all the weapon types.

I had grenade kills when I got the achievement, so also not sure if they count, do it to be safe. Flamethrower can be found in the FIRST mission, Grenade Launcher can be found in the THIRD mission.

I am just posting video I made of the very first flamethrower's location in the game as this is most likely the only gun you will have to go out of your way to find.
This is in the very first chapter "Containment".

I killed off the first few sets of guys and left the last 4 at front door so I could burn them up. :)

I'll just repeat what I said in another solution "...and the other weapon types? Well this was a useless solution. Next time you write a solution, finish it."

This is a combat related trophy and it can be done either in Campaign Mode or Versus Mode. For the trophy, you must simply kill at least 1 enemy with each of the following weapon types:

 

  1. Assault Rifle
  2. Submachine Gun
  3. Machine Gun
  4. Shotgun
  5. Sniper Rifle
  6. Secondary Weapon
  7. Special Weapon
    • Grenades
    • Flamethrower - Allows refilling ammo
      1. Found in Containment at the upper level of the walkways when you killed the first Spec Ops Enemies in the game, it's before HUNK snaps a solder's neck.
      2. Found in Expendable at the 2nd location where the Hunters will drop in (close to the Tyrants location). It's before that near the barricade in the far left corner close by the stairs you came from.
    • Grenade Launcher - Doesn't allow refill ammo
      1. Found in Lights Out near the start of the level where you need to search for a card key to open the door. There's a weapon locker crate in one of the small rooms you can open for the weapon.
      2. Found in Expendable at the 1st location where the Hunters will drop in when you're fighting Spec Ops Soldiers at the same time. It's near the corner where you first came in at the upper right corner.


You don't have to purchase every weapon in the game for this trophy at all. You can keep track of this in the "Records" found at the main menu screen and then scroll over to the "Weapons" tab to view stats. Each kill for each weapon type are easy to get, but the special weapons are different. You'll experience no problems getting grenade kills, but the Flamethrower and the Grenade Launcher are only found in weapon locker crates. They're found in certain sections of the level and when you find one, simply shoot the two locks off the weapon locker crate to open it up. Inside the crate will be either the Flamethrower or Grenade Launcher. Sometimes you'll find a Sniper Rifle instead, which isn't a special weapon at all.
