How to unlock the Close Combat Carnage achievement in Spec Ops: The Line - Definitive Guide

I found this one easiest to be done at the beginning of Chapter 6, when you become stranded. Go over to the right hand side from your start point to find grenades and a shotgun. Proceed down this hallway, and you should have just flanked 4 enemies, with a shotgun in your hands at a very close range. Kill them all to unlock the achievement. This will work on any difficulty.

If you are having trouble using the above method, just keep at it, and use the shotgun in close quarter combat situations when enemies are running towards you, and you can always try to try the difficulty down.

Easily done once you've completed or started Chapter 6: The Pit. If you've already finished this section I recommend going to chapter select and starting it on Walk on the Beach difficulty.

Note: Chapter select asks you which of 4 separate save slots you wish to use, so you can save to an empty slot without tampering with your current progress.

Once you start, immediately run to the right where there will be a shotgun with a dozen or so rounds as well as grenades. You can use the grenades to kick up dust, blinding the men and forcing them to stand still, however it's not necessary due to the close quarters.

There is a shipping container next to the wall where you find the shotgun, about 3 enemies drop off here and are easily blind fire killed. The other end of the enclosure flanks 2-3 guys depending on how quick you are. It's also easy to get Blind Luck here, as blind firing with the shotgun in such tight spaces is a guaranteed kill.

In chapter 2 The Dunes, pick up a shotgun the first chance ou can take one from an enemy. After the cutscene with the dj, make your way around the hallway (sprint when you can) until you see an enemy run from the left and drop down outside (note: letting the guy drop down, and waiting until he puts his arm back before killing him will net you the Kill enemey before they throw grenade cheevo).

Take out all the enemies below before dropping down. Once they are cleared out, switch to the shotgun and sprint past the turret. At this point a small group of guys come out and you can easily kill them all with the shotty to net the cheevo.

I got this in chapter 12 but it doesn't really matter where you do it as killing 4 soldiers within 10 seconds isn't that hard. This was just before you take the snipers out and then go across the zip line. I hadn't really tried for this before but I was starting to mop up achievements at this point and got it on the first try so it's pretty easy. I decided to go with the M1014 shotgun as it has a decent fire rate.

There are actually several great spots to unlock this trophy, however the easiest place to unlock is at the beginning of Chapter 6: The Pit. Difficulty for this trophy does not matter.

At the start of the chapter, you are in cover behind a car, with only a Desert Eagle sidearm. Go to the right behind additional cover, and you will find a shotgun, and box of grenades.

Avoid the soldier, who may come around the far corner, and while in cover move toward the end where he came from. There should be at least four soldiers here in which you can quickly takeout with your shotgun.

Depending on the difficulty you are playing, if you did not get it, reload the checkpoint and try again. Playing on easy (Walk on the Beach) will make this a lot easier.

Below is a video for help. All credit goes to PowerPyx for the video.

If you leave negative feedback, please explain why so I can correct. Thanks!

To unlock this trophy all you have to do is kill four enemies with any shotgun within 10 seconds. The shotguns in Spec Ops act closer to their real life counterparts (they are most effective in close quarters) than in Max Payne 3 other games where they can be used as sniper rifles.

There are various opportunities to get this trophy during the campaign. But there is a very easy and quick opportunity to get it during chapter 4. About half way into the chapter you will rappel down to a CIA bunker. Just to the left of where you rappel down you find the second Intel on a desk. Directly in front of that desk will be two (2) enemies behind a little nook. Kill them with a shotty then turn around and kill the two (2) other enemies in the room.

Or you can use PowerPyx's chapter 6 method provided in his video is below

There is no need to run after this trophy and look for places to get it. At the very beginning of Chapter 6, you will find yourself behind a car in a shelter with a pistol and five bullets. Run a couple of meters forward, pick up the shotgun and kill 4 enemies.

Why wait for the 3rd or 5th chapter when the trophy is completed in the first. Before entering the plane, we select a shotgun. On the plane there will be hostages in the cockpit (one will be shot immediately, we are trying to save the second) there are just four enemies there, as soon as you start shooting the slowdown will turn on. No problems at all.

can be done at the beginning of the 5th chapter - go down the cable, kill 2 enemies on the stairs and take a shotgun, go down the stairs and as soon as you enter the room, throw a blinding grenade and kill 4 people.

can be done in the 3rd chapter when you find yourself in a building with a piano, all the opponents will come down from the top, you just need to shoot in the back.

Nothing complicated. In Chapter 1, before boarding a destroyed plane (where you need to save a hostage), we take a shotgun. On easy difficulty, the trophy is won instantly - we just run around the cabin of the plane and kill the enemies one by one.

Got it on "FUBAR" difficulty. Chapter 3 after the piano room, the area between the two hotels when a sandstorm begins. Before that, pick up a shotgun, leave the hotel, go around the fountain on the right and 5 people run out from the opposite hotel. You don’t have to get too close; from a medium distance, the shotgun also hits well.

If you play on high difficulty, there is an opportunity to also get this trophy, at the beginning of the 9th chapter, when you go down and go further past two hanging men, there will be a shootout, and then a powerful storm will begin, at this moment we run out of cover and grab a shotgun, calmly We run up to our opponents and kill them, because due to the storm they almost cannot see you! And that's it, the trophy is yours.
