How to unlock the Death Up Close achievement in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector - Definitive Guide

I have just unlocked this on the 1st campaign mission.

I 1st made sure the Incessor units always had their backs to the enemy. Then used Carleon, the assault squad and Aggressor squad to melee. Pistol defence was used but still got the achievement.
Mission can be done in around 10 minutes.

Remember to choose Confirm and not confirm & overwatch.

I did this in the first mission of the campaign as well. Out of curiosity I used overwatch every time for the intercessors and it still popped with no issue.

Yeah I always just overwatched & confirmed as well after using/choosing what direct melee attacks I could on the turn, and unlocked just fine. Seems so long as your directly chosen attacks are all melee you're fine.

I managed to do this during the second campaign mission in normal mode. I only used assault marines and always used melee attack. My Marines used their bolter when they were attacked but I did unlock the achievement at the end of the mission. I never used overwatch either.

Hope it helps !

EDIT 1: It looks like this achievement can be glitchy, according to Cernunnos295, uninstall and re install the game may solve your problem

EDIT 2: According to Creamy Mmm, this achievement only pop in campaign and can't be earned in skirmish.

EDIT 3: According to ReapOfKarma's feedback, use overwatch is not a problem !

Can confirm, I did this a couple of days ago on the same map. Defensive bolter shots (not overwatch) are fine.

Just tried the same and it never worked, defence only, never used overwatch, will try again as this is the best place to do it.

Edit: completed the mission 4 times now, with no one using guns, all chain swords and still no achievement. I even tried turning everyone around, so they didn't use their bolt pistols in self defence. Any ideas?

Edit2: uninstalled and reinstalled the game, played last save and it popped, hopefully this helps anyone else who had to go this effort, still love the game though!! rock

I read it was a known bug on Steam but that was addressed back in August. I have tried countless times now and nothing has popped. It's frustrating because it's the only achievement I need to 100% the game.

Edit: I just restarted the campaign on normal. Completed the first mission and it worked. I don't think replaying the missions in Skirmish counted, like I was doing.

Uninstalling/reinstalling the game and reloading a previous save did the trick for me. Thanks Cernunnos295!
