How to unlock the Challenge x50 achievement in Small Arms - Definitive Guide

The original solution someone wrote was removed for whatever reason and it has been ages since I popped this achievements which meant my memory was a little fuzzy so I thought it best to add someone else's solution along with my addition so people didn't get left hanging.

X360A Solution

Challenge mode is accessible throughout the game. From the main menu select single player and then challenge mode.

Challenge mode plays like a game of survival. Every few rounds you earn an extra life and some food to replenish your health. Although killing 50 enemies sounds near impossible there is a very simple method you can do with Tyrone.

As Tyrone you can freeze enemies and cause them to fall to their death very easily. Simply head under the small awning on the right side of the screen and wait for an enemy to come to the bottom of the screen. Once they do jump off to the right and then use your charge jump by hitting to land on the top of the awning. Your enemy should follow right after you, as they are in mid air hit them with Tyrone’s secondary by hitting . This will cause them to freeze and fall to their death.

My Addition

The above solution is great! It is what I used to get the achievement. I just wanted to note an extra tidbit that helped me.

The pig sniper can be a pain sometime as he doesn't like to run over and fall into the trap. I found it best to freeze him before luring anyone else to the trap or he will pelt you with shots and eventually kill you. Once he is the only one left. I found 2 easy ways to finish him.

The easist way for me was to keep freezing him and then shooting him while he's defenseless. (Don't melee because it breaks the ice). The second way is to hop around the map and avoid his sights. 9/10 he'll kill himself in under 15 seconds because he doesn't double jump well and will fall off the map. The problem with this is you have to be very wary of mines because he'll put them everywhere as he hops around!

Good solution! +1 and on to the next.

I had trouble with the buzz lightyear looking guy sometimes, and the guy with the crossbow. Those 2 and the pig just didn't want to get into the trap.

By Muskrat Morris on 19 Dec 2011 22:33

Still a tricky cheevo. Managed to get up to 28 kills but then 3 enemies spawns and I have a hard time telling who's who and what's going on. usually ending in me getting stuck in the map or falling off the edge... :(

By Vinchucca on 06 Oct 2012 14:34

What above solution? I'm assuming you mean the trap solution with the freeze gun. Yes, it works very good.....It will get you a lot further than just fire fighting with them. Still a very tricky achievement to get. I also found it helpful to try and leave some of the food items on the top right and left platforms for eating during fights when health is low. There are a few characters listed above that don't want to fall into your trap, if you use the freeze and shoot method keep an eye on your ammo. Also found it to be easier just to restart match if you draw the pig as a first opponent.

By AV8OR ACE on 24 Oct 2012 16:22

Yeah it looks like the main solution has been removed. That's too bad. I haven't played this game since I wrote the solution so I will try to remember it all and update my solution to include everything.

By CrimsonGaidin on 24 Oct 2012 18:18

Just a simple question: it must be made in 1 round?

By AMERICO74 on 19 Dec 2012 21:04

Solution has been updated which will hopefully help you. it must be done in Challenge mode which if memory serves, has no real rounds. It just goes until you die. Hope that helps.

By CrimsonGaidin on 19 Dec 2012 21:31

ok, Thanks reborn...

By AMERICO74 on 20 Dec 2012 15:22

How do you charge jump again? I haven't gotten this but still thumbs up, thank you.

By PrimeBigTime on 04 Jun 2013 05:00

Yep. That's why this achievement blows.

By PrimeBigTime on 31 Jul 2013 16:44

^doc?

By WeltallAY on 08 Sep 2014 16:19

Ohhhhhhh, sorry that was obvious of me to not get - but thanks, will surely do so!

By WeltallAY on 08 Sep 2014 22:37

I did it with the DLC installed second try and got 70 kills.

All deleting the DLC does is make the elephant and tiger not spawn.

It's easy either way.

By DaOverUnder on 02 Nov 2014 22:33

Thumbs up Handydarkness!!! DELETE THE DLC!!! Works great

By SHIRO HARADA on 04 Nov 2014 10:08

Nice I got to 75 using this method, however if there are 3 enemies on the screen and if they won't fall for the trap I recommend doing "figure eights" and collecting all the health and ammo you can (before they do) then run back to the spot on the right and try again, rinse and repeat. Hope that made sense. It is very frustrating but once you get a couple lives and really learn the game, it gets easier. The controls can be frustrating too, just keep at it

By flubberfudge on 16 Mar 2016 21:19

Xbox achievements gave this a 1/10 difficulty... The other achievements yes r easy, but this one def isn't a nice one :/ i can't get past 35 :/

By TitianDan on 16 May 2016 21:28

Just hit 93 with the freeze method. If you are full health/ammo disregard anything that drops. Most of the time food will still be available if you leave it. Another note to add, you can shoot through the balcony. Helps when they just sit there. Sniper mines kill enemies as well. Post up as far to that ledge as possible and some enemies kill themselves when the big groups hit. Just get some warm up games in for the controls and learn how to evade specific enemies

By A KING 84 on 30 Apr 2017 02:04

The button icons for the controls aren't showing up in your solution. The proper controls are holding (Y) for charge jump, and then moving (LS) in the direction you want him to go once the charge runs out (you want him to go up and to the left). For the secondary weapon (the freeze gun) use (LT).

I thought there used to be a emoji for the buttons when making posts, but either the site's removed them, changed them, or I can't find them in the emoji list.

I got to 154 in 34:08 using this method. I would also suggest treating the alien girl the same as the pig.

I just unlocked this achievement after not playing the game for 16 plus years lol. This might take a few tries, but you will eventually get it! Thank you!

By I LUNCHTREY I on 09 May 2023 20:09
