Cold Darkness Challenge: Kill 20 enemies with Dragonfire Shotgun Rounds

How to unlock the Give a Man a Fire achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

This achievement is fairly straightforward apart from one very important thing:

YOU MUST SELECT THE "GIVE A MAN A FIRE" CHALLENGE IN THE CHALLENGE SECTION BEFORE YOU START THE COLD DARKNESS GAME.

Otherwise, none of your shotgun kills will count towards the achievement.

The shotgun is located here on the map, inside a train car.

Simply hold X as prompted to pick it up. Then all you have to do is go around the map killing 20 enemies by pressing RB to fire your special ammo. The enemies are always spawning so don't worry too much about trying to get it out of the way. I found it best to wait until I got swarmed to do this as it clears them faster and it doesn't matter as much about noise. Incidentally this is also how I managed to get the kill 3 with one shotgun blast achievement (by accident!).

One side note: Depending on what cards you chose to use, you may have to craft the special ammo before using it. My first game I had it automatically, my second game I had to craft it.

Hope that's clear enough :)

I played your solution but i could not find the gun in this place, i played 3 hours i did all missions and nothing... The only solution i find and i complete the achievement is to select these cards: cat and mouse and a shotgun level V.

@Xthunderspeeder I'm sorry you couldn't find the shotgun there, was there anything at all in the train car? Every time I played it the gun was always there so I'm not sure why it didn't work for you.

After struggling to find the Dragonfire shotgun at recommended locations or anywhere in game I tried a different way, which requires a bit of luck with cards received in packs.

As always start an expedition in the cold darkness game, go for Adventurer for difficulty to make it easier for yourself. On the next screen make sure to have the ‘Give a Man Fire’ challenge equipped.

On the next screen press add a card and go down to Player strengthening, scroll across (they’re alphabetically ordered) looking for ‘Cat and Mouse’ and select. This gives all shotguns dragonfire rounds, but enemies evade more, not a problem on lowest difficulty. The luck bit comes for getting these cards in packs, I had 2 from playing campaign and 1 dlc. Then scroll up to the shotgun selection cards and pick one you fancy, I went full auto. Then start the expedition.

Once started just kill enemies using cn_RB to fire whilst aiming, you start with some dragonfire ammo. Make sure to loot enemies and you should easily have enough ammo/ingredients to make more dragonfire ammo, by pressing cn_RB when not aiming.

It only takes a few minutes to kill enough enemies and then your Achievement should pop.

Good luck with the Achievement.

Challenge to Select:

  • Give a Man a Fire

Recommended Cards to use:

  • Cat and Mouse
  • Any Level V Shotgun or you can find one in the level but you probably spend more time searching for one then killing enemies

Kill 20 enemies using any shotgun with Dragonfire Shotgun Rounds. The reason to use Cat and Mouse is because all ammo being used is the Dragonfire Shotgun Rounds, but the enemies are better at evading shots which could be problem if trying to go for the "Spinning Leaf" achievement.

The reason it's suggested to use the Cat and Mouse card is because all Shotgun ammo used turns into Dragonfire Shotgun Rounds. Just be aware that this also makes the enemies better at evading shots, which could be problem if you're trying to go for the "Spinning Leaf" achievement.

In order to unlock this trophy, you must pick the challenge first. Dragonfire Shotgun rounds can be made or looted off corpses if you have the card for it (the card says "corpses looted will give incendiary rounds"), otherwise just make your own. As the game will regularly spawn an attacking swarm that rushes you, getting 20 kills should not be a problem. Naturally you'll need a shotgun, so a shotgun card helps instead of trying to find one in the wild. The challenge completes once you make your 20th kill and the trophy will unlock right away.

The shotgun is easy to find in the carriage almost at the very beginning. When aiming, shoot at R1. Can be combined with the "Triple Threat" trophy (kill 3 enemies with one shotgun blast). There are more than enough enemies.

You'll be exhausted looking for the shotgun you need, since the one I needed didn't appear for a long time.
Or I didn't realize I had one.
Therefore, if there is a card with a level 5 Void Hammer shotgun, you can take it, and as you progress, simply craft ammo and shoot enemies on R1.
