How to unlock the TR2 Very Hard Boiled achievement in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft - Definitive Guide

Done in TR2.

Level skip voids the achievement. Unsure about weapon cheat but... You're only using pistols so there's no reason to do it.

This is achieved by completing the game only firing pistols. I don't know whether simply getting another gun out will break the achievement, whether firing at nothing voids it, or if you need to actually fire another weapon at an enemy for it to count. Just avoid tempting fate and if you fire another weapon for whatever reason, just load your last save.

You can pick up other weapons without voiding the achievement, but I recommend to never equip them.

As Corax discovered you can also kill enemies with vehicles just fine [I]ONLY[/I] by running over them. HerrKätzchen confirmed, you must NOT shoot from the vehicles. Thankfully in Tomb Raider 2, the only vehicle you can shoot from is the black snowmobile. If you fire the guns for whatever reason, load your last save.

On the subject of the Tibettan chapter, I highly recommend on your Pistol Only run to also go for the "Complete Tibettan Foothills without getting on the snowmobile" and "Make all stalactite traps fall without getting hurt" achievements. I also recommend NOT going for the "Ensure all monks stay alive" in the Barkham Monetary. Of course it's up to you.

Also keep in mind that stages where you'll come across enemies underwater, you will NOT be able to use the harpoon gun. So get through underwater sections with enemies in them quickly and either find ground to shoot them with pistols, or avoid them as much as possible.

The achievement will unlock when the completed level stats appear for The Dragon's Lair (as the only gun available in Home Sweet Home is a shotgun - thankfully the devs considered this :)).

^I do the pistol run now and I realized that my TR2 achievements don’t unlock properly. TR1 and TR3 is all fine. Maybe it’s a TR2 problem!?

It's not. I had issues unlocking TR3's monkey picking up the medikit achievement. Started a new game since it was at the beginning and it worked.

Have you considered that using the red snowmobile to drive over enemies or the black snowmobile to shoot them is also using something other than just pistols ? When i've unlocked this achievement, i didn't use snowmobile at all !

Running enemies over with the snowmobile does NOT void this achievement as I have just unlocked it. I killed at least 3 enemies by running them over and it unlocked just fine at the end screen of The Dragon's Lair.

Welp, used flares, held the Harpoon and Shotgun in hands like once and shoot the black skithing twice. And lo and behold, didn't unlock. Well, at least I got the speedrun-cheevo.

I feel like the black snowmobiles might be the issue… 😕 I might have just wasted a playthrough

The level skip cheat code like in TR1 doesn’t work here?

Can confirm, the black snowmobile voids this cheevo. Restarted from Tibatean Foothills again and got it after the Dragon Lair.

Could I still go for the Extint is Extint cheevo here by killing the T-rex's with the Grenade Launcher, then reload a previous save and kill them with my pistols, thus not voiding this cheevo?

Yes, because in that playthrough you still haven't used another gun.

I did a pistol-only run without using any other weapon but I didn't get the achievement. I'm not sure if it's buggy or if there are other ways to void the achievement.
I equipped and used the harpoon a few times by accident when falling into water while shooting, but I immediately reloaded the last save in those cases.
I'll give it another try in New Game+, let's see if it unlocks there.
