How to unlock the Master of Sword and Gun achievement in Warhammer 40000 Space Marine - Definitive Guide

This can be accomplished in Chapter 3: Belly of the Beast.
NOTE: You CAN select the final checkpoint of the chapter to obtain these -- you don't have to start from the beginning of the chapter.

Just go to chapter select, choose the last checkpoint in Chapter 3, set the difficulty to easy, and cruise through the chapter.

You will have both required weapons already in your inventory from the start.

NOTE: Rhyolitic pointed out that after you exit from the shell chamber, you need to continuecacross the bridge. This will get you to a checkpoint, and should unlock the achievement. Thanks to Rhyolitic!!
Enjoy.

This solution DOES NOT work. Loading from the last checkpoint does not unlock the achievement. I have successfully done this three times now and have not received the achievement. I'm guessing all his other solutions with this method are false too.

I've retried this method with the stalker bolter and chainsword and unlocked that achievement. So I will retract my statement and say that the method DOES work although I could never get it to work for the bolt pistol/chainsword.

Also, it seems that the charge attack and the stomp attack do not affect the achievement.

Okay, thanks for the update. Good luck with the bolt pistol one.

I tried several times along with the Finess and Fury and got neither. I made sure not to use the Charge attack or any other weapons and neither achievement will pop.

Buds, did you go across the bridge? Once you exit the shell chamber, you need to start crossing the bridge and have Mira call you. I got it on the first try (the Bolt Pistol/Chainsword one).

I can VERIFY this method workd to get Master Of Sword And Gun, I just did it offline, but I'll be on XBL in an hour or so in an effort to update my TA and XBL cards online with all the achievements I did in SP Story this evening during my offline time.

Again, this method is VERIFIED!!!

This method worked fine for me too.Like the guide says make sure you walk over the bridge to start the next chapter keep on walking as Mira talks.

The above solution does work. You can use the fury and charge attack. Make sure you equip the bolt pistol at the start as it isn't the default when you load the last checkpoint.

Confirmed, be sure to use the BOLT GUN(d-pad up) and not the bolter (the gun in your hand when u start the chapter)

did it on easy, charge attacked pretty much all the time, selected the bolt gun at the start and it popped once the conversation with Mira had ended on the other side of the bridge outside the building, Excellent guide, +1

Worked for me as well. You might make a note in the solution that you can use charge and fury, but not grenades. +1

You are incorrect. Most likely, you're killing enemies using grenades, a different weapon or the charge attack.

I unlocked all these achievements by loading the final checkpoints of the chapters.

Got this earlier. It had been a few months since I'd first played the game. First completion using guide above I never got the achievement. At the start of my second attempt it dawned on me that I actually started with the bolter not the bolt pistol. You have to press up on the d-pad to select the bolt pistol once I'd done that the achievement unlocked as I crossed the bridge.

Felt like a massive bell-end;-)

I used 1-2 for this one on easy

You start off with a bolt pistol and combat knife, so just use the pistol until you get the chainsword and it's easy as that.

You can collect the other weapons as well, as long as you don't use them. And stunning and then healing yourself via B, doesn't break the achievement, even if you only have the combat knife (just don't swing it).

MUCH MUCH easier than the above solution. Don't understand why this isn't the #1 guide, even all these years later in 2019.

You'll receive the Chainsword during chapter 2. You must use either the Bolt Pistol and/or the Chainsword during this chapter. The smart idea would be to use the Bolt Pistol until getting the Chainsword and (if on easy) just using the Chainsword for the rest of the chapter. DO NOT USE GRENADES.

If you're worried about accidentally using the Combat Knife, play on chapter 3 because you'll only have the Bolt Pistol and the Chainsword (just don't use the regular Bolter). Thanks c1ned1ne!

The Chainsword is aquired on Chapter 2, after it starts. You must complete an entire chapter firing only the Bolt Pistol and swinging the Chainsword. It's also worth noting that the Plasma Pistol you gain in Chapter 6 is a permenant swap; therefore you must complete this achievement before Chapter 6 to get this achievement.

USING GRENADES WILL VOID THIS ACHIEVEMENT.

Any easy way to get this achievement is to simply load the final checkpoint on Chapter 2 and finish the level with your bolt pistol and chainsword.
