How to unlock the Extermination Addict achievement in Singularity - Definitive Guide
Each game is roughly 10-30 long. So it may take some time.
Play this legit (Like I did) and get it in a few days. It wasn't too boring and did not feel like a long grind.
A game will start if you and a friend or random person are searching for a game at the same time. Then you just wait for four more people to join. Six people are needed for a game to be played. No reason to boost just yet.
But, just a quick thing for all you achievement hunters out there. If you get to be host you are allowed to just sit there the whole game and not get kicked. Leave the your 360 on for a good bit of hours and you will get the achievement.
If your ping is "0" or you were the first person in the match you are host.
a) Have 12 people (plus back-ups) so that you can fill the game lobby preventing randoms from joining.
b) Use Blitzers with Fast Recharge and simply rush the beacons and renew them as fast as possible. This way each match will only take about 6-8 minutes as opposed to a potential half hour.
c) If people are going for kills, try to focus on one person's needs at a time so that you do not lose focus on renewing the beacon. And of course, so that it does not turn into a free-for-all.
2) If you do not want to create/join a session:
a) Find an empty lobby (a lobby where you are the only person) and just leave your xbox on. You cannot get removed from the game for being idle. You do not have to spawn. Two ways to do this semi-easily:
i) Get on at an odd time. ie. 04:00PST / 07:00 EST / 12:00GMT when traffic on this game is low.
ii) Join an Extermination game, wait for it to fill up - to 12 players - and leave the game. Wait a minute or two for someone to take your spot and when you search for a match you should be put into your own lobby. NOTE: This method works much better if you have someone that can stay in the game that fills up to tell you when it is full. This is something I and others I have boosted with have done quite successfully.
Overall, method 1 is faster, but method 2 is easier as you do not have to be present.
Happy Extermination Games!
And may the odds be ever in your favour!
If you own a turbo controller, an effortless way to get 100 matches is to go into the Extermination lobby, turn on turn R trigger, X, and A on turbo. This should cover all your bases for buttons you'll need to press. You cannot go idle in this game or you get kicked out. You do not need to mess with the control sticks.
Stay in the lobby, even if it's not full. Leave the box on, go to work, go to sleep, whatever. Eventually 6 people will fill the lobby and the game will start. You won't go idle and you'll keep on playing. Over time you'll get your 100 games.
This is first gametype option in the multiplayer menu. You only have to play 100, you don't have to win them all. The rules are as follows:
Rounds: 2 (1 as creatures, 1 round as humans)
Required Amount of Players: Minimum 6
Soldier Objective: You must get to the beacon and repair it by pressing on it. If successful, a timer will start at 00:20. You must defend the beacon from getting damaged by creatures, repairing it with if that happens. If the creatures damage the beacon below 75% then you must do it all over again. If you don't do this within 5 minutes, your round ends and you cannot move on to the next beacon. Each time you are successful you move on to the next section. You are trying to do these as fast as you can to have a better overall round time than your opponents.
Creature Objective: All you have to do is kill the soldiers when they approach the beacon. If the count down starts for extermination, quickly damage the beacon getting it below 75% and then until it's back down to 0%. Using a melee attack is best for this.
Depending highly on the skill of the teams, each round could take anywhere from 3-15 minutes. So 2 rounds, it would be 6-30 minutes. So for all 100 matches, you're looking at about 20-25 hours most likely. The multiplayer over time will have few people playing, so you'll have to use the acheivement trading thread HERE. You can invite people to join your matches. If you quit a match, it won't count. If you join a match and it's almost over, that will still count.
Alternative Method
If you really want to get this out of the way fast, keep attempting to get your own lobby by choosing public match and with a little luck, it will put you in by yourself. Now you can leave the game unattended. Since you're host you cannot get kicked for inactivity. You won't spawn. Believe it or not you can still get wins this way too, even without playing at all. You'll act as sort of a dedicated host, as anyone trying to play will most likely be thrown into your match. Many times the game already has odd amounts of players, so hopefully you're on the team that has more people (making it even).
We go to the lobby early, say in the morning, so that you are the first (this means that you are the “Host”), now you can at least read a book, watch movies or go to work. If you are a host, you will not be kicked for idleness.
For example, I bet, say, at 14:00 and go about my business through the list, checking whether I received trophies or not. During the period from 14:00 to 21:00 I get 20-30 matches played. Good luck
While receiving this trophy, you will receive almost all other multiplayer trophies.
Attention: On bourgeois sites, there is information that the progress of a mudtiplayer game is not stored on the game servers, but on your console in a regular save. If you change or delete your save, all game progress will be lost. Be careful.
