How to unlock the Chain of Death achievement in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Definitive Guide

Another good place to do this is during chapter 12 when you are fighting the Warboss this is the last part of chapter 12 if you're using mission select. Part way through battle the Warboss breaks a hole in the wall and Orks come spilling out. Right when this happens put 5 launcher rounds right in front of this hole (I put them in a semicircle in front of the hole) and right when they jump out hold right bumper to detonate them. If you mess up restart checkpoint and you will be standing right in front of the hole in the wall or you can wait and he will break another hole in the wall. The main reason I did it here was because you have no other marines with you. I was having trouble with the computers shooting the Orks when I am trying to set up my launcher rounds.

Q - Do you put the FIRST round nearer you, or the LAST round ?

Q - and about (in game feet/meters) how large is the gap in between each round ?

Thanks in advance

I put them in a semicircle around the hole instead of a strait line and they were not very far apart the distance between the top of the semicircle and the bottom was about the height of your character

I think this is by far the best place to do this as even if you have finished the game you can start at the last part of Chapter 12 using the SELECT MISSION funciton and then it starts you right at this spot.

Remember once fired all 5 rounds at a group of enemies hold DOWN RB to detonate all charges at once because if u push down RB and then puch down RB again it will not work and you will not earn the achievement.

Chain of Death - 10g
Multi-kill -- Detonate a chain of 5 consecutive Vengeance Launcher rounds, killing 10 enemies.

The Vengeance Launcher is unlocked relatively early in Ch. 1. The gun basically fires bombs/grenades to which you control the detonation. You have the ability to put out more than 5 rounds at once, but going beyond 5 will cause you to lose your first rounds (i.e. Round 6 detonates Round 1, Round 7 detonates Round 2, etc.)

How to Detonate a Chain - To detonate a Launcher round in general, you merely tap the RB and it will explode. However, to detonate a chain you must hold down the RB until all 5 Rounds have exploded. Repeatedly hitting the RB and making them explode separately will not work for the achievement.

To get this achievement, you want to wait until you have a large group of Orks coming towards you. I got this achievement where the Imperial Guard come up on the lift to get you, right where you find the Power Axe. You have some time to setup before the Orks begin attacking. I drew a straight line with my rounds, and stood back towards the lift behind a wall until the Orks came close enough to the rounds. If you find another place to do it, GREAT! This is just where I recommend doing it. Two notes though:

1. The Orks will come in multiple waves. The first wave should have enough to get 10 kills (I didn't count how many actually came), but the second wave comes quickly after the first one. I waited until the second wave came, giving me more Orks on screen, and having a better chance of killing 10.
2. The Orks may swarm one of the two other Ultramarines with you. If they do, that's fine. Simply come out from behind the cover and shoot at them once or twice with your Bolter or even walk up and hit them in Melee. This will cause them to pursue you. Then run them back towards your charges. When they're in place, blow the charges and your achievement will pop.

If you don't get the achievement on your first try, simply hit pause your game and choose Reload Checkpoint. This will take you back to before the battle begins, and you will once again have time to set up. I also used this location to get the following achievements:
Warhammer 40,000: Space MarineThe Emperor's MarksmanThe The Emperor's Marksman achievement in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine worth 51 pointsKill 10 enemies in a row in a single Ranged Fury activation.

Warhammer 40,000: Space MarineBlast RadiusThe Blast Radius achievement in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine worth 5 pointsMulti-kill -- 5 enemies with 1 Frag grenade.


Good luck and happy hunting! If you're going to vote negative let me know why!

Just did it! Best place for me - start of Chapter 5. Just place charges in the area, then let orks rush to you =)

Did this on Ch. 3 loading chamber but upvote for you, you were the only one that explained that you have to hold the RB and that tapping it 5 times doesn't work. I must have tried this 30x's before I read your solution and got it on my 2nd try, thanks!

I probably put about a foot between each round. I didn't leave too big of spacing. The order you place them in shouldn't really matter as long as you have at least 10 orks in the area.

The fight that the OP is referring to is near the start of Chapter 5.

Near the end of Chapter 3 is also good place to get this one and The Emperor's Marksman, possibly in the same go too.

It's right when you get the Ranged Fury mode while you push the sabotaged bullet back into the Orbital Gun.

After the Shootah Boyz are dealt with Orkz and Gretchin will swarm you at ground level. Before they come tag the wall or the floor in front of the wall with the Launcher, let them run over it and detonate them. Activate Fury just before you set them off and you might get both achievements.

another easy solution for me, i've done this in chapter 3 in the last part (where you also could do "The Emperor's Marksman" achievement.

it's almost the same, put 5 launcher rounds in front where the horde is coming from, wait a moment, till are there enough, than hold the RB button, and BOOM there it is

So I'm doing it here, and basically it says 5 detonations for 10 kills so that's like 2 kills per detonation.. I'm getting more than that and it's still not popping. I'm not using any other weapon, I don't use the sword, nothing. Any suggestions?

During chapter 3 you'll receive the Vengeance Launcher from one of the pods. You shoot a mine like every other gun but press to make it explode. The Vengenace Launcher can shoot a total of 5 mines before it needs to start blowing them up to make room.

During chapter 5, you'll come to an area that is a wide path that has Gretchins coming from the vents (a little ways after the one found for Blast Radius). Before one of those vents, you shoot 5 mines, walk closer to the vent so the Gretchins come out of it and HOLD until all of them explode and you get the 10 kills. You must hold the to make it consecutive. Pressing one by one won't make it consecutive (this troubled me for some time).

You gain the Vengeance Launcher during Chapter 3. To detonate a round from the Launcher, you must press the Right Bumper after you have fired a round. To get the achievement, however, you must hold the Right Bumper when you detonate the Vengeance rounds to detonate the chain. The end of Chapter 3, when your ally is loading the shell into the cannon, is a good place to go for this, as is the begining of Chapter 5 when you run into your first batch of Orks and Gretchin.
