How to unlock the Effective communication achievement in World War Z - Definitive Guide

Whenever you see a special enemy type (Toxic Zombies, Lurkers, Bulls, etc) don't rush into killing them cause you otherwise won't be able to mark them. Look directly at them and press cn_up. When you do this successfully it will mark the special zombie in a red outline. Do this a total of 50 times and you will have your achievement.

You can boost this even faster by completely ignoring the special zombies (Easiest with bull, just don't shoot it) and repeatedly mark and unmark the target with the same button.

Mines bugged too, but at 0%, won't register any specials I mark. Have tried cold booting Xbox and game, done latest update, tried on a different console. Nothing works! So frustrating! Wish they would fix this and the 100 games of PvE cheevo too!

Mines stuck on 0% also, hopefully they are aware of this, game is grindy enough as it is without stuff not counting.


Edit. I have messaged them via Facebook, will update if/when I get a reply.

Edit 2. Reply from Sabre "Hello. We are aware of the issues with achievements. New patch is coming this week. Please report us if there will be any problems after the patch release." Hopefully this will resolve it.

Launched the game for the first time in a few months the other day and this achievement randomly popped at the main menu. Pretty weird but glad they finally fixed it.

OK, I don't know if they made this easier or whether it is just bugged (in a good way) because I just spammed up on the Dpad whilst looking at a special zombie and got it within seconds of trying.

Yeah i think its working now,saying that i always start up from a hard start & not instant on. I wouldnt have thought that was the issiue rather a work around i would have guessed the problem lied at the companys end.
Either way as it makes no difference it does seem to be working normally.

This one is bugged for me. Stuck at 68% even though I keep marking special zombies. This game definitely has some achievement issues.

I read somewhere that somebody said you should hard reset your Xbox to get this to start working again. I'm stuck at 98% myself.

Edit: I did the suggestion and the achievement did not unlock. I even tried to go straight into solo play offline to no avail.

Automatically marks the shooter's skill.
In general, you can and should mark when hovering up arrow by any class. He also works on supplies, politely informing teammates about the location of the resource.
