Down votes are likely due to telling where it is done rather than how. Things to watch out for (like the one who ends up behind you at the very beginning).

I don't think anyone should be put off trying this on any difficulty tbh, I'm monumentally bad at games and got this on master first try. Just use your shield and rockets, and burst when it's charged.

Just be aggressive so that the enemy pilots will focus their fire on you. It's very easily accomplished, even if you are playing on the highest difficulty setting. Good luck! toast That said, I did have to restart the level. For some reason, the achievement did not unlock for me on the first attempt.

Mission: Blood and Rust
Difficulty: Easy

At the beginning of mission 3 you will come across two friendly Titans with Lt. Shaver and Lt. Freeborn inside. They are fighting multiple enemy Titans and your job is to keep them save.

The best way to do this, is playing on easy and attacking the enemy Titans as fast as possible. Even on easy Lt. Shaver and Lt. Freeborn can go down fairly fast if you don't defend them.

Once you reached the entrance at the end of the narrow battlefield you will unlock the Close Shave achievement, if both friendly Titans are still standing.

Get this achievement on the level Blood & Rust played on Easy dificulty. This way the enemy Titans only have 3 health bars each. The two friendly Titans with Lt. Shaver and Lt. Freeborn must survive until you all reach the tunnel. Make use of your secondary weapon as much as possible. Accuracy is key with your Primary weapon to make the most of it as it has to reload between clips.

As you enter the area kill the first two Titans that are there already, but don't move forward until you have killed the third one that comes from behind you. That way the next enemy Titans ahead wont fall just yet. When you get the third move forward and the next two enemy Titans will fall. Don't be defensive as you will give them the opportunity to attack Shaver and Freeborn. Taking one out as quickly as possible will mean the three of you can concentrate on the other one. Once these two are done don't worry about any foot soldiers, just run forward towards the tunnel entrance and take out the final Titan as quickly as possible. As all three of you enter the tunnel the achievement will pop. As you fight listen out for any voice that says a friendly Titan is down. If you hear this restart the last checkpoint.

This can be done on Mission 3, "Blood and Rust". This was recorded on Easy difficulty. The recommended strategy here is to stay in your Titan and in between the enemy and your two AI buddies. This will make you the focus of the enemy and keep your AI buddies from being shot. You can reload the checkpoint if one or both of them dies.

At the beginning of the mission Blood & Rust, you'll be told by Lt. Shaver and Lt. Freeborn to help them fight off enemies and titans. This is best done on the easy difficulty. Just stay ahead of them, and shoot the main enemy titans, and a majority of the ground troops. Shaver and Freeborn themselves will easily take care of anything you miss, as they themselves are in powerful titans. At the end of the fight, if your friendlies are alive, you'll get the achievement when you're about to enter the next building.

Start up the mission Blood and Rust. After you drop down at the end of the road you'll see some friendly titans, your goal here is to keep them alive through the onslaught of enemy titans and foot soldiers just to the end of the causeway. The best strategy I found was to get in front of them and draw the aggression of the enemies so the AI can't go and get itself killed. As long as you are pressing forward drawing fire and taking out the enemies you should build your Core meter up and easily dispatch the enemies. Fortunately this is at the start of the level so you can easily restart if they go and get killed.

Recommend you do this on Easy to make it a little less stressful.

This achievement is missable. Directly at the beginning of Chapter 3 you will drop down off a short cliff and two friendly titans will be battling up a hill toward the complex. You need to get in front of them and keep them alive, killing all the other titans, and enter the complex will them both alive. This is best done on Easy so if you don't get it during your Master playthrough just use chapter select when you're done.

Mission Select: Blood and Rust

This trophy is for keeping Lt. Shaver and Lt. Freeborn alive which can only be done at the start of Mission 3: Blood and Rust. As you make your way to Major Anderson's rendezvous point, you'll encounter two friendly Titans which are Lt. Shaver and Lt. Freeborn. They'll both be fighting IMC Titans and troops as you approach an IMC facility. Fight alongside them and keep them both alive by killing all the enemies in the area. When you reach the facility and they're about still alive, the trophy will unlock.

Here are some tips:

  • Do this Easy Difficulty to have no issues keeping them both alive.
  • Kill all enemies as fast as possible and Dash forward with to move quicker.
  • Get up close and personal against the IMC Titans; they will focus their gunfire and missiles at you rather than your allies.
  • Don't press to use the Vertex Shield unless you're playing on higher Difficulties.
  • Use the [Hold] Multi-Target Missile System as often as you can. It will automatically lock on to many targets at once. It can also locate and kill IMC troopers quickly if you use it to scan the area before firing.
  • If an IMC Titan puts up a shield, try dashing around the sides of it as their sides aren't shielded.
  • Use the Burst Core against any IMC Titan to quickly kill them with an automatic fire stream of amped bullets.
  • If either Lt. Shaver or Lt. Freeborn dies, press and select "Load Last Checkpoint" or "Restart".

Start of Mission 3 "Blood and Rust"
BB you will meet two militia titans fighting and they will ask for help. Win the battle, preventing the death of these titans and the achievement is yours..

You need to defeat about 5 enemy titans... It's almost impossible on master, so it's better to just restart the level on easy.

I don’t know why they say that it’s not possible on the master. I passed the first time, just ran forward and took the whole blow on myself.

It’s also worth remembering that allied titans can be treated with green batteries that are lying around everywhere

Passed the second time. We jump down immediately and help drain the first two titans, by which time we will be given the machine gun's ult for the first time. we leave it for the second wave of two titans, they fall off when pressed by a machine gun. Then there is the last mech and soldiers left, this is the end. The main thing is to get a little ahead and use your shield and missiles more often to finish off the soldiers who are in the way.

The trophy is quite difficult, a lot depends on fortune... Unlucky comrades are trying to give up. Fortunately, it happens at the very beginning of the chapter and without any introductory videos.
It is advisable to keep both companions in sight at all times, since enemies approach both from the front and fly in from behind. And constantly shield friendly officers . We missed one - we reload the checkpoint, we need both of them to survive. I got it about the tenth time... I hope you have better luck.
