STAR WARS Battlefront II

Not so much a solution - more a tip / trick to try and help from my experience.

The best way I found to approach this achievement was picking the Assault class and playing Galactic Assault. A lot of the time, the very first objective is attack / defend just one point on the map - but in all honesty it doesn't matter if there's two objectives - this still works.

Using the Assault class, when you spawn, immediately go in to Vanguard mode by clicking LB & RB simultaneously as it gives you a significant speed boost, especially as it's running out. (Most people don't seem to do this, as they want to get near the objective before going into vanguard mode to use the shot gun - whereas all we want in this scenario is the head start over our team mates.)

When around 30m away from the objective, throw your grenade forward towards the objective (preferably from behind cover) then pop out from cover already firing. Sometimes you get a grenade kill, sometimes, a kill of the players trying to avoid the splash damage of the grenade.

I could consistently get either the first kill or one of first few kills in the match this way.

Hope this at least helps someone out there.

ps. Indoor objectives work the best for this technique, as players seem to funnel in to the objective rooms, but i've done this same technique on outdoor maps successfully.

With the new update it brings CoOp vs AI. You can easily unlock this here. Just rush the first objective and get the first kill.

Just another tip/trick. I got this in Starfighter Assault. Select the Interceptor and as soon as the match starts use the engine boost to get to the enemy first. I was able to get this killing an AI starfighter using this method. The achievement is glitched as it didn't pop until I was halfway through the 2nd round after actual completing the achievement.

As the description says, you need to get the first kill in a multiplayer match.

After a few games I was able to get this in Galactic Assault on Star Killer Base as the Specialist class and getting a snipe of the attacking side as they came up the hill on to the main area where the objectives are. This can take some trial and error to achieve.

My suggestion would be to play Heroes vs Villians or the Starfighter gametype. Heroes vs Villains is a 4v4 gametype and would mean less people in the way of you getting that first kill. Playing Star Fighter would be a good choice as well as you know where the targets are when you start and you'll be going right at each other but would still require you to be quick.

This is not a hard achievement but you will need to rush to be that first killer.

Easiest and safest way to get this Achievement is on Hoth especially if you are on defence.

Start as Assault and as the round starts use Vanguard ( + ) to run to the closest Laser Turret. Jump in and press LT to scope down the field. If you are on defence, you'll see the two AT-AT's walking towards you but don't worry, no one will be manning the guns on them yet.

What you will see is either players running to their Laser Turrets or the glare of snipers. Simply shoot at the glares, or if you prefer wait for the enemy to get into a Laser Turret and shoot that instead. As you have the upper hand you'll get the first kill most of the time you are on this map.

If you are on attack, you will more than likely need to go for the enemies jumping in the turrets but keep an eye out for the easy sniper kills if you see their glare popping over a snow mound.
