STAR WARS Battlefront

So after a few tries at getting this really tricky achievement I finally managed to down the AT-AT using the tow cable and I've put together a few hints and tricks which should help.

It goes without saying that this needs to be done on the 'Walker Assault' game type and you will need to be playing as the Rebels. There are also a few other factors that come into play, I'll add those on at the end.

Firstly you will want to get yourself in a Snow Speeder. These will only spawn AFTER the second round of Y-Wing bomb attacks - so whilst your team is pummelling the AT-AT's for the SECOND TIME around, you want to be sprinting onward in the map ready to grab the pickups as soon as they spawn. If you don't manage to grab one, don't worry. Take note of its location and be ready to grab it next game (or if/when a teammate dies in one).

Once you're in the Snow Speeder, head towards the edge of the map. That's right, the edge of the map! Any Tie Fighters or other enemy fighters that may be flying around will likely wreck you should they spot you. The same goes for guys on the ground with missiles etc. So get right towards the edge of the map (until you are warned to turn back) and keep out of the way.

Now whilst keeping a low profile keep a close eye on the overall progress bar of the AT-AT at the top of your screen. When the meter is full you will get around a 10 second countdown to when the Y-Wings will come in and bomb the AT-AT's for a final time. (You can only use Tow Cable whilst walker has no shields). It is during this period that you want to use your Speeders 'Speed Boost' ability and get towards the AT-AT. This final approach is vital, so here I would recommend using your Speeders 'Target Lock Jammer' ability to stop enemy torpedoes from the ground and air from wrecking you durn your pass.

Finally, once the bombers have hit and you are flying along side the AT-AT you will be prompted to press '' to start the Tow Cable attack. Hit which will launch a sort of mini game in which you do your best to keep the Speeder Icon within the lines to ensure a successful attack. Any damage you receive here will greatly affect your progress and make it difficult to keep within the lines, so you'd find it best using the 'Target Lock Jammer' ability here.

If you manage to stay within the lines, after a few passes the cable will detach and hopefully... That got him!

**I'd strongly recommend having a few practices at taking out an AT-AT using a tow cable offline on the relative invasion mission on Hoth before heading online, as the Icon/Lines mini game thing can be quite difficult first few times around**

Now as I mentioned earlier there are many factors that can hinder your chances of getting this achievement, you must ensure that...

- You play as the Rebels
- Your team don't destroy all the AT-ATs before the last assault
- Your team get at least 1 Y-Wing earned for the last assault
- You get to the power up to use the T-47 Snow Speeder
- You dont get shot down while waiting for the last Y-Wing attack... (hide!)
- Nobody shoots at you whilst you are using the cable on the AT-AT (use target jammer ability)
- Your team dont destroy the AT-AT as you are using the cable

It's a tricky one, but a really satisfying one! Keep to the guide and you should be fine.

May the force be with you.

not so much a guide but extra info missing from other solutions that will help

I just got this achievement after spending a good solid 3 days trying for it alone. I can tell you now that I failed the mini -game circling the ATAT at least 8 or 9 times and that's not including the times I got blown up by tie fighters and AT-ST and when I didn't even get the chance to attack due to comm links not active...

You can see the snowspeeder icon through the terrain from 30-50metres away when they spawn.(use jet pack to reach them quickly)
They are usually at the start spawn area,(learn locations) and only spawn on 3rd attack
Attack AT-AT as soon as you see message Y wing incoming, dont wait, use LB and right up on thumbstick then slow down along side AT-AT (icon will appear on screen prompting you to press Y ).
When AT-AT shields are down,it has a big red circle on it
The mini game is pretty easy IF YOUR NOT BEING SHOT, if your being attacked/shot at it makes it impossible to control
Don't press RB (jammer) until you have done at least 1 revolution of AT-AT,otherwise it will run out.
Once locked on with tow cable, concentrate on mini game only,its right stick to control balance
Best done on dessert map as there is only 1 AT-ST to worry about

If someone is kicking ass in a tie fighter or AT-ST,dont expect to be successful. Its all about waiting for the gods to align and for other players to be distracted while you go for it. If you can get to the mini game, you will be successful after many many attempts and of course you only get 1 attempt per game as Rebels so will take forever.

hope this helps.

Use a tow cable to destroy an enemy AT-AT in Walker Assault



The video is related the beta , now it's a little bit different, i just won it but unfortunately i cannot show you because my Game DVR sucks !
It's recommended to know where the snowspeeder token spawn and to try this with an undefended AT-AT because if you get too many shots from the enemies, your tow cable attack will stop.
You have to wait until an Y-wing bombing run temporaly disable the AT-AT, so reach it as close as possible on a side and slow down, when you see on the screen push (on the video it says to pus the 2 bumper buttons) to fire the tow cable . Now you have to keep the snowspeeder in level , going up and down with the right analog stick (don't worry about the other buttons, just focus on keep the vehicle icon inside of the bar, that becomes more and more little), After 4 turn around the AT-AT you will be awarded with 40G Points and can be proud to revive one of the most epic scene of Star Wars!

Hi guys,

this is not a solution how to destroy an AT-AT, but a rather a hint how to find the snowspeeder power ups on Hoth(Outpost Beta)/Walker Assault.



(thx Odinasteroid for telling me, that the previous link was broken)

I hope this might help you.


Edit:
In the game as I got his cheevo, the Snowspeeder Power-ups appeared when the shields of the AT-AT's went down.

I played a while before getting this. It's a bit annoying.

- Play walker assault.
- Play as a rebel. Keep going in and out until you are rebel.
- About half way through the game, try to grab the speeder power up.
- When you get one, stay out of range so dudes don't attack you. You also want to avoid rebel fighters in the air. Stay away. It's boring but you don't want to die or you'll have to play another match.
- When the walkers can be attacked, go in and use your radar blocker, then press Y and finish the mini game.

The Speeders which have the tow cable ability spawn in the 3rd stage of Walker assault if you are on the rebel side. As soon as the 3rd stage begins lay low and keep an eye out for speeder spawns. It's a good idea to have a jet-pack so you can get the spawns before anyone else.

From there I found that the best tactic was to go the the very edge of the map, and stay quite low so enemy interceptors/tie-fighters don't come and kill you. Then make your way over to the walkers once the bombing run begins as they become vulnerable. As you get close activate your radar jammer and then press y when prompted. Now just make sure you stay inside the grey bar and the achievements going right in your basket.

This achievement is still a lot of trial and error though. There's a training mission you can do if you want to get used to pulling down a walker. You can also easily get killed while towing a walker so keep in mind it can be very luck based and may require a few tries. For me it took several attempts until one game where I pulled down both walkers.
