How to unlock the Army Vet achievement in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus - Definitive Guide
You only need to do the last volume on the difficulty of your choosing for your achievement. Toward the end of the DLC there should be an air vent over looking a cafeteria. When you come out of the air vent, stay up in the rafters/ near the mouth of the vent and shoot down in to the crowd the best you can. Use silenced shots first and switch to being loud when they figure out what's going. Hop-out and mop-up whoever is left, this save you some hurt if you're not too good with large crowds of enemies.
Put your faith, trust, and pixie dust in YouTuber "Kreeper V" 's guide for this DLC on Mein Leben... I sure did and it paid off.
Volume 3 starts at roughly "37:15" in the video, and you only need to do it for the achievement.
The "I am Death Incarnate!" difficulty is the game's second hardest difficulty. Each of the three Volumes in this DLC can generally be tackled loud or stealthily. Unlike Joe's Campaign (but similar to Silent Death's), you have access to silenced handguns and lethal throwing objects, which means you should aim to utilize stealth gameplay whenever possible. That being said, it's quite alright if you'd rather bunker down behind some cover and start a raucous until everyone is defeated.
As always, keep these key tips in mind during your playthrough:
- Throwing hatchets can be picked up after thrown
- Your health will be capped at 200 and does not begin to deplete until you take damage
- Killing enemies will regenerate your health a little bit
- Time slows down slightly when in the weapon wheel
- Killing Commanders while undetected prevents reinforcements from being called in
- Dual-wielding increases damage output, but reduces your accuracy
- Use the lean feature to your advantage when taking on enemies from behind cover; in fact, abuse the lean feature often
- While sprinting, the enemies will have trouble shooting at you from a distance
- Avoid using melee executions during combat entirely; the animation lasts too long
- Reaching certain sections of a mission will force the game to despawn enemies behind you, even if they were on alert
- Many, if not all sections of a mission will still be accessible after passing through them, allowing you be return and collect ammo, armor, or health
Once you defeat General Schwarz at the end of the game, take control of the submarine, and the final cutscene begins to play out, the achievement will unlock.
