Rise of the Tomb Raider

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 :)

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 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 when not aiming.

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

Good luck with the Achievement.
