How to unlock the Weapons Master achievement in Tomb Raider: Underworld - Definitive Guide

Use bpshfs14's guide on how to perform the Adrenaline Attack headshot (AAh). I used his guide to find out what I needed to do and it worked fine for me smile

Suggestion
Don't go out of your way to get this. If you only do one of these whenever you encounter each group of large enemies (Tigers/Panthers/Soldiers/Giant Lizards/Giant Spiders/etc) then you should have the achievement by the Gate Of The Dead level at the latest (just over the halfway point in the game).

An Alternative Method
As I didn't know how many opportunities there would be to do this I decided to get it out of the way early on. I was playing with the options set as easy as possible while I did my collectible playthrough and just enjoyed the game without being challenged. When I got to the first trio of Tigers I used the AAh I already had but even after killing the other 2 Tigers I still hadn't built up another AAh. To speed things up pause the game, goto Game Options, then Player Tailoring and finally change the Enemy Health setting to Extra (I had it on Less until this point). Replaying the example above I was able to build a second AAh and kill the 3rd Tiger with it. I wouldn't be surprised if better players than me could get a 3rd AAh out of this scenario.

I say again though that it isn't necessary to go out of your way to do this.

I can verify that you can repeatedly die/kill yourself and the game does keep track of your count separately from the progress saves. While in the area of the Thailand level after the two statues, you get jumped by two giant lizards. My adrenaline bar was already full, so I just AAh'd one of the lizards, killed the other, and just ran into a corner and used my own grenades to kill myself. It spawned me right in front of the lizards, so a couple more quick tries after that and the achievement unlocked.

But, since you only need five - I agree, there's no need to go out of your way.

Using your suggested settings, I found you can get it in about 5 minutes on the boat. It's the second level and has tons of enemy's. Thanks for the suggestions on settings. Worked great.

If you don't have it by the time you reach Andaman Sea level, it is very easy to get there. When the mission starts, use your 'free' adrenaline attack with the pistols on the first enemy you encounter. Then switch to Thor's Hammer and kill the next enemy. Your adrenaline meter will be full again with just one hammer kill and you can do the next adrenaline attack. Switch to the hammer again and go on with the pattern adrenaline attack - hammer attack - adrenaline attack and so forth until you get it. There are plenty of enemies in this mission and they even keep respawning if you wait a little. Don't forget to advance to further save points and get the health packs on the ship if you need them.

In the top left corner there is a silhouette of Lara. As you attack enemies, if fills up. When it is full, run towards the enemy and when you are close hit "x". It will go into slow motion and you will have to move the red reticule into the circle on the enemy's head. When it is there hit your trigger to shoot. Do this ten times and the achievement will unlock.

Thanks, that helped a lot. Didn't know, you had to find that "red reticule". I always just waited for the grey circle around the enemy's head to turn red. :D I didn't expect, that you have to do something elese, too.

This is Easy on 2nd level. Coastal Thailand.

basically after you have met the first set of Tigers. you will encounter a second set. as soon as the first one comes down the stairs adrenaline attack. it for the one shot kill and let the two other tigers kill you. the game will automatically give a full bar to repeat this , just simply repeat this until u got all achieved the ten

A yellow silhouette of Lara fills up in the top left corner, as other guides say, when you attack enemies. When it's full, pressing cn_X near an enemy causes Lara to perform a flip, during which you have to aim a grey reticule at a target using cn_RS to turn it red. You have quite a bit of time to aim the reticule. When it turns red, you should attack with cn_RT, instantaneously executing the enemy with a headshot. Do this ten times to unlock the achievement.

The technique for performing a shot under adrenaline is as follows:

Your adrenaline bar should be completely full. Standing close to the enemy, press the aim button and then the button . Time will slow down, and Lara will do a backflip, and at this time you need to combine the red sight with the gray circle on the enemy’s head and press the shoot button . The enemy will be killed with one shot at any difficulty level.

To use Adrenaline, your Adrenaline bar must be filled to the maximum. Next, we run up to the enemy almost closely and turn on the slowdown. The task is to bring the crosshair and the gray circle together with the trigger. As soon as it works, we shoot.

The easiest way is to do it near the checkpoint, killing the same enemy and then dying.

Video hint.
