How to unlock the Faust of Fury achievement in Sniper Elite 4 - Definitive Guide
So either I killed all the enemies before destroying the half-tracks, or the enemies killed by the half-tracks counted.
Before I used the radio, I cleared out all of the enemies in the surrounding area as to not give me issues, then went in the hut with the radio and saved my game. At least two of enemies I cleared out were Valkyrie soldiers, but they don't count as reinforcements, so it's okay to kill them with another weapon.
I must have reloaded my save 10-15 times before finally killing the enemies on the bridge.
There are two ways or paths you could use to obtain it:
- Path 1 - The noisy way: It is located on a table in an underground passage off of the library. Make your way to the library and on the first floor in between a set of stairs is a door that you can place a satchel charge on. This explosion will open up an area under the library where the Neunfaust is.
- Path 2 - The quiet way: In the room where you find Dr. Galvani, there is a book shelf in the back corner of the room. Activate the lever on the book shelf to reveal a secret passage to the underground area under the library where the Neunfaust is.
Step 2 : Get the radio codes.
Head over to the ‘Summon Squad’ objective in the southern part of the map. Locate a safe in a tavern on the top floor and retrieve radio codes so you can call in the reinforcements. There is an officer here (either in the room with the safe or close by) that has the safe code, or you can blow it up if you didn’t search him.
Step 3: Call in the reinforcements & kill them with the Neunfaust.
Make your way over to the marker on the map which is the location of the radio. Clear out all enemies in the area, as they can create problems and make it more difficult if you don’t. Note: The two Valkyrie soldiers guarding Propaganda Minister Viktor Habermann do not count for this trophy (they are not reinforcements). Also, it is recommended that you make a manual save before using the radio in case one or more of the reinforcements are killed by other means (such as a half-track exploding).
Call in the reinforcements. They will already be tagged so it will not be hard to locate them. Two half-tracks will enter the courtyard and about 8-10 Valkyrie soldiers will exit the half-tracks. Once they are all out of the vehicle, shoot them with the Neunfaust. Be careful not to destroy the half-tracks until all the enemy units are dead. Again, this would be to avoid death by explosion of the half-tracks instead of the Neunfaust.
Once all the Valkyrie enemies in the courtyard are dead, there will still be some on the bridge or on the other side of it to the west. Either shoot them from the ground level or climb one of the towers for a higher vantage point and kill them from there.
If you have not done so already, destroy both half-tracks as it is possible that the driver and gunner in each count. Once all of the enemies are dead, and if all the Valkyrie reinforcements were killed with the Neunfaust, the trophy will pop. If not, reload your save and try again.
Here is a useful map thanks to bLaKgRaVy:
First, you have to retrieve the Neunfaust launcher. It is located on a table in an underground passage off of the library. Make your way to the library and on the first floor in between a set of stairs is a door that you can place a satchel charge on. Once the passage is opened, head carefully down the stairs as there are about 8-10 enemies along the way. Once they are all dead, in a small room off the main passageway is the Neunfaust sitting on a table. A small cutscene will play as you pick it up. Make sure you pick up all the ammo you can carry; you should have roughly 30 rounds.
Next, you want to head over to the ‘Summon Squad’ objective in the southern part of the map. The first thing you have to do here is to locate a safe in a tavern on the top floor and retrieve radio codes so you can call in the reinforcements. There is an officer here (either in the room with the safe or close by) that has the safe code, but you can blow it if you don’t want to search him.
After you’ve obtained the code, head for the diamond marker on the map which is the location of the radio. You may want to clear out all enemies in the area as they can be a little troublesome if you don’t. Note that there will be two Valkyrie soldiers guarding Propaganda Minister Viktor Habermann that do not count for this achievement (they are not reinforcements). Also, it is recommended that before (or immediately after) you use the radio, you make a manual save in case one or more of the reinforcements are killed by other means (such as a half-track exploding).
Call in the reinforcements and moments later two half-tracks will enter the courtyard. Approximately 8-9 Valkyrie soldiers will exit the half-tracks. They will already be tagged so it will not be hard to locate them all. Once they are all standing around, proceed to shoot them with the Neunfaust. Be careful not to destroy the half-tracks until all the enemy units are dead. Also, pay attention to your ammo.
Once all the Valkyrie enemies are dead, it is very possible that a few enemies did not enter the courtyard and are still on the bridge and beyond. If they are still outside, you can either shoot them from the ground or climb one of the towers for a higher elevation and kill them from there.
If you have not done so already, destroy both half-tracks as it is possible that the driver and gunner in each count. Once all of the enemies are dead, and if all the enemies were killed with the Neunfaust, the achievement will unlock. If not, reload your save and try again.
