100% Achievement Guide [UP TO DATE]
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam
Mode completion
Grind. Grind. Grind.
Skirmish is a fast-paced close combat mode with very small maps. Up to 5 rounds per map played with only 16 max players. This mode requires more thinking, as you can respawn only during a small window after successful objective capture.
Supremacy is all about the teamplay and correct decisions. Lots of freedom and running around, but you will need to know which objectives are worth capturing or holding during the game. Destroying or placing tunnels should be the priority.
Teritorries maps are the most tactical ones. Squad leaders are the key to success as well as good positioning and correct usage of commander abilities. Move very carefuly because you will get spotted and killed otherwise.
Kill achievements
Just keep killing Charlies or GIs. In case of need grab the specific role. Judging by my experiences, the hardest to-kill achievement beside those melee ones is to get 500 kills with LMGs. Because getting kills with sniper rifles is very very easy, esecially in Teritorries mode. On the other hand, you cant just run around with LMG and deliver a lot of frags. Good positioning and maps knowledge will be your best friends here.
How long you will need for this? Probably like 20ish hours. Depends on your skill.
You just gotta be quick to select the Sniper or Marksman role. Everybody wants to be the sniper.
Can be done very quickly. I usually like 70 kills per map played.
As I said, you cant just run around. You gotta use the terrain and map knowledge. Kinda time consuming as you will get most likely like 30ish kills per map.
Getting 100 melee kills is currently the most rare achievement. Why? Because nobody wants the achievement I guess. You may think its hard but it really isnt. If you are going for all achievements you will need to play at least 100 maps across all modes. Skirmish is a tough one for melee so I dont count it. Basically you just need to average 1 melee kill per map. That doesnt sound that bad. And if you focus on melee kills you can do this easily. Check out my favorite spots, where I just wait for enemy to get the melee kills. Works damn well, trust me.
I did it my way. Rushed to the location marked below and killed some GIs running from "E" to "D". Map is An Lao Valley. By using RPG you can get both at the same time with a bit of luck. Another option is rushing "A" objective on Hue City.
Just another day in Nam
Our homes are safe!
Your rice is ours!
When you take a hit and the bandage symbol appears, dont use the bandage immediately, kill one enemy first and after that finally help yourself with that med stuff.
With a bit of lucky nonlethal hits, you will need to use both your bandages, which will give you this achievement.

The best map for this is Cu Chi. Lots of ladders.
Only in Supremacy mode or Hill937 map in Teritorries. Simply choose to deploy on a transport helicopter if available.
You will probably get this easily but if you still struggle, i suggest to focus on objectives instead of kills. Especially in Supremacy mode. Why? Because more points!
Find yourself a nice tree or bush that will cover you entirely and profit.
Waste all your ammo, then just press T and find the closest suply point to refill.
You can do this with Back For More together. Obviously, make sure you have selected the machine gunner role.
You can earn it on either side. If you just cant get this, try to move around an "F" objective on Cu Chi or "C" on Hue City as almost all commanders drop it there.
When you find a tunnel, simply hold "F" to destroy it. You can also use any explosives. Cobra helicopter or artillery/barrage from a commander can destroy "riceholes" as well.
Fairly easy on Hue City as many Charlies will try to cross the river. Alternatively Song Be, but that is way harder
You will get an assist and 1 scorepoint everytime you inflict some damage or spot an enemy. Awarded upon the enemy´s death.
Explosives and traps
You will get this naturally just by playing. Traps are everywhere. If you see a weird-colored spot on the ground, step on it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaww.
Having troubles getting punji kills? Check out my favorite spots. Ez kills.
Although any experienced player will see your traps, there are still lots of new players or blindfolded US soldiers. Cover it as much as possible and you will get this eventually.
This one is a bit tricky. You will need to plant just one stick and enemy has to step right on top if it. That could be a problem. Check out f.e. those spots but feel free to be creative. You can also plant just the first stick and then shoot it from distance. Works either way.
Simply make a chain from your mines with a distance between each other like 5m. Then just wait for some unaware enemy to walk close to one of those mines. Shoot the furthest one. Profit. Or do it with a friend on an empty server.
Pretty hard in normal gameplay. You would need to shoot the trap right after VC finished planting it or camp the spotted trap until any VC goes nearby. Again, do it with your friend.
Weapon specific
I got this actually by getting a triple kill. Shotgun. 3 enemies. 1 shot. Lots of blood. Easy with sniper rifle when you line up your shot.
This is not very easy. Check out what is the distance of 250m. I recommend doing it just like in the pictures below. You want to kill an enemy a bit further behind the road. But be advised, with distance like this, you will most likely need 2 hits to kill the enemy beside headshots.
Only available in Territories on Cu Chi and Hue City. Select the Guerilla role. Change the AK for Mosin Nagant. Kill enemy. Easy.
5 shots, 5 kills? I suggest camping somewhere completely hidden until you are alone in the enemy territory. Since you were there for the whole time you can use the weapon. Line up your shots. You want to headshot people as they wont know where the shot came from. Wait a bit and find a new target. Again, easy with your friend.
With the power of shotguns its fairly easy if you are clever and decent in fragging.
Most of the weapons can be equipped with bayonet. Press C by default. Camp. Kill from behind. Repeat.
Well, you just need to play as a VC Squad Leader and use your pickaxe as a weapon. Make them feel the wrath of your almighty pickaxe!
What you need to do here is to be a Grenadier. Simply aim your GL at enemy from very close range. The shell will kill him without the explosion.
You will get this easily by spamming rockets to the building where the US soldiers are coming from.
Camp. Wait. Turn your back to the enemy. Shoot. Celebrate.
You need to shoot Spooky or F4 Phantom with an RPG. Even if you magicaly manage to "hit" the Spooky as you probably wont (500m above the ground!), you will only make the Spook smoking. No need to say that all the rpg rockets look like they go thru the Spook itself with no damage being done. So however it sounds crazy, do it with Phantom. How?
Chopper related
In case you are a newbie in this game or you just dont know how to fly properly, check out this awesome in-depth guide from my experienced pilot friend Hex dk.
Honestly pretty much impossible without a friend. I only saw 2 kills like that in 150 hours of gameplay. Find yourself an empty server and do it with a friend.
Same goes for those achievements. Impossible in normal gameplay. Do it with your friend, but be aware as rotor kills are sometimes very buggy. Obviously you will need to know how to fly with a chopper.
As soon as you hear bombs being dropped, check your map. If you dont see the strike zone on your map, that means it is an enemy who is using the barrage. Follow the sound and sacrifice yourself in the name of this achievement. Also do it in Roach or empty Huey, as you dont want to kill anybody in your team with you, do you? But you dont have to be the pilot yourself, you can just keep spawning in the Huey and be extremely unlucky with your pilot being an idiot or going for this achievement lol.
You will need to land nice and easy in order to get the 5 transport points per soldier insterted. If you cant land, dont do this achievement. You will kill tons of your soldiers and everybody will hate you. Pilots are being insulted 24/7.
You will need to choose Combat pilot role and take the front seat in the Cobra. M1 is the chin turret by default, MMB is the machine gun. If you dont know how to switch to shooting mode, its MWUp by default.
Very hard. You will need to grab the machine gun in Huey and kill enemies. Sounds easy but it is actually one of the hardest achievements in game as all the VCs focus Hueys nonstop and you as a door-gunner are the first person being shot usually.
You will need to fly under the wooden bridge on An Lao Valley map.
I recommend using Roach as it is very small and to me the easiest chopper to control.
You can get this easily by deploying in the Hueys often. I can assure you most of pilots will crash a lot and it is only the matter of time until you get this.
Also one of the hardest achievements. How to get this? Just fly above the enemy objectives and with a lot of luck somebody will destroy your engine without killing you. You will need to try to manouvre a bit further away and then use the autorotation button to safely land.
If you hear the "blob" sound of a GL guy shooting, rush him and kill him. Use the launcher then to take the enemy chopper down. Easily done with a friend which will drop you the GL, then respawns as a pilot and let you shoot him down.
Well, the only advice I can give you is to pick RPG role and be a Squad Leader at the same time. Check out the pics below for the best tunnel placements so you can respawn close to the landing zones (LZ). Beside that its only up to you and your aim/experience.
Shoot everything on the sky and hope for the best. RPG or DSHK in Supremacy mode recommended. Anti-Air missiles do also count.
Luck needed. If you see an aircraft falling down just run towards it. Can be also done with a friend. Let him hover above you and just shoot the chopper down right on top of you.
Commander only
Simply use the Ambush ability once there is more than 8 dead soldiers on your side. Usually you can get this one after some successful enemy artillery killing your pawns.
AC-47 also known as Spooky is an ability of US commander. For this achievement you will probably want to play Cu Chi or Hue City. Why? Because those two maps are ideal thanks to lots of enemies grouping up in small areas. Just watch out for the AA missiles that will destroy your Spook in a couple seconds.
You will need to know where all the enemy radio spots are and focus on those because 90% of commanders dont use radiomen. They just stand behind the radio on those spots, commanding their troops from there. Best suggestion is to use napalm on radio nearby "A" objective on Song Be. Of course you can do this the easier way with your friend on empty server.
I really doubt there is any other option beside "F" objective on Cu Chi. No other objectives are so small yet full of enemies. Not sure if I counted correctly, but I think i got 11 kills there including 2 teammates. That makes me think your own teammates count towards it as well. Weird.
The rest
The description says "in any mode" however it doesnt work in the easiest one - Skirmish. So head out to some empty server, capture an objective and you got this.
I dont understand why this achievement is so rare. I guess because not that many people play Skirmish. I got this literally in my first game. Not very hard. Just remember Skirmish is more about objectives than kills.
All you have to do is head out to map called Firebase. There is a basketball court on "F6" coordinates. Jump and try to touch the net. Thats all.
Can be done fairly easy on Cu Chi. There are a lot of tunnels underneath the "D" objective. Just go there, find a good spot (preferably as close to the VC entrance in main building as possible). And just hope you will get 5 Charlies before they get you. Or as a commander, take your radioman with you in the tunnels and simply call some arti/napalm. It counts as well towards this achievement.
The easiest way in theory is to just pick the Commander role, use your purple smoke and then use your mark. However it doesnt work like this. You have to be Squad Leader and your Commander has to use your mark. Should work with both napalm and artillery but this achievement is currently very buggy. For some it works only with napalm, for some with arti only, for some it doesnt work at all. After dozen tries I got this when commander used my mark and killed someone before the purple smoke vanished. That makes me think the purple smoke has to still be there when the enemy is being killed.
ANZAC expansion
Head out to Long Tan or Rung Sac and kill that poor Aussie.
Again, Long Tan or Rung Sac are your maps to go. Simply finish a round.
I know, I know. But its just for one round, okay? #puke
Call National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-TALK.
Finding a SL that is digging a tunnel might be challenging, so if you dont want to just run around, pick a commander role and use your stuff wisely. Way more easy.
A lot of players dont use "spotting" whatsoever. Thats a shame tbh, its really helpful. Default key is "Z" and for this achievement you just need to spot 4 enemies. No need to kill´em.
Just play the game. As soon as you see or hear an RPG, do whatever you need to do to kill him and steal his sh*t. Pick it up, run away and punish the enemy! Or do it with a friend.
I would say 99% of people playing this game dont use bayonets. That makes this achievement pretty much a nightmare. Save yourself the trouble, do it with your friend.
Same case as the previous one, do it with your friend. For those of you wondering, "mid-bayonet charge" stands for player who is sprinting with his bayo equipped atm.
From time to time, your pilot gets shot and you as a co-pilot (or the other way around) will be forced to land on your own to get this one. Its not that hard and situation like this happens pretty much every round.
The description for this achievement is actually a bit confusing. There are mounted M60 door guns, but those do not count towards the achievement! By "gunner", they specifically mean co-pilot with the minigun.
You can use both FFA rockets and the minigun. Easily 30 kills a round.
The map is Rung Sac. Just go on "H7", find the crikey and shoot him. Call PETA afterwards.
Another find&shoot achievement. Long Tan map, "F9" cords and a huge boot waiting for you.
ARVN expansion
Simply finish a round as the ARVN soldier on the new maps Quang-Tri or A Sau.
I noticed people seem to not like this map because its not "properly balanced", so you should go for this achievement asap because the map is being played less and less.
Same as above.
This map is actually a lot of fun. There is so much cover and stuff around. I personally like it a lot so I got those 3 wins pretty much the first day.
Having trouble with this one? If you can count to 3, you can just use your grenade as commiting a suicide counts towards this one as well.
Close to impossible in theory. The only two classes with Tommygun are pointman and commander. If you are god in this game, maybe you can do it as a pointman, but for casual mortals, simply select a commander role and kill 10 enemies with napalm/arti/spook without taking damage yourself.
Edit: The latter option has been patched. Gotta do it the hard way!
Again, only two classes can use this big boy, a machine gunner and an engineer. It is very powerful and accurate, so it will easily become your favorite I suppose. I started to pick up those roles again just because of this beauty.
This one is a ♥♥♥♥♥. Takes quite a while. Just be advised that partially emptied clips are gone forever. Luckily you have 11 clips by default.
Im still trying to figure out the best spot for this pain in the Nam achievement. You obviously need at least 8 people very close to each other and a clear shot. I´ve been trying to go for it, but so far no success. Maybe if the sniper roles werent full in 1 second, that would help...
Edit: We might have found a good spot. Check this one out! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1474661083&tscn=1534352148
Douglas A-1 Skyraider is a support plane called by the US commander. Same speed as F4- Phantom so it is insanely hard to hit. And yes, it is basically the same achievement like The Triggernometry one from earlier. Hopefully someone makes a video, you know, to encourage us.
Another hidden object to shoot. This time it is a sparkling barrel inside a small cellar on QuangTri map, F5 are the exact cords. It is located right in front of the C objective building.
All you have to do is accomplish 11 spinal shot in a single life. If you see this icon in a killfeed, you got one.
Also my advice is to aim at the lower back right above the pelvis. It is the most accurate method as you will often end up with heartshot/headshot otherwise (when shooting in between the shoulder blades or neck resp.)
And why 11 you ask? Here is the reference.
Campaign expansion
The description itself is self-explaining. It takes some time because of the campaign length, but not really hard. I would say 90% of the time SV wins.
This one is way harder. NV is the weaker side and if you dont have a good team things can snowball real quick. Honestly I won as a NV on like 12th attempt.
An easy achievement awarded upon winning a single round/map with the ability active. However you can only vote to activate it on the attacking side. Cooldown 3 rounds.
Same case as the previous one. Voting occurs only if you are attacking on that map. Ability refreshes every 3 rounds.
This may look hard but it isnt. SV wins all the time and if your commander knows what to do, its not really hard to dominate. You will be attacking pretty much nonstop so teamwork is the key. Also the US commander abilities are superior. Doesnt matter how you win. It just has to be before 1975 (winning in 1975 still counts).
Hardest campaign-based achievement to obtain. Winning a campaign as NV? Yeah, maybe. Winning before 1975 as NV? Nope, nope, nope. You need an exceptionally good team, a huge amount of noobs on the enemy side and the gods helping you. I have seen this happened only once and I was lucky enough to be on the winning side.
Christmas 2018 event
Very easy as the map is decently balanced, maybe slightly better for greens at the end.
Easy to win, easy to lose.
Once you discover how awesome the stairs/balcony are, you will easily get 20 kills in one lifetime.
This one is tricky. You can only grab the flamethrower as a green and there is also only 1 spot. Now the worst part. With the recent GMA update (as of 7/2019) the flamethrower role is blocked unless you purchase the overpriced DLC. Have fun lol. For the rest of the achievements, we are going to use my "brilliant" map. Graphic design lvl 99.
(1) Just get in front of the clock close to the "F" objective, doesnt matter if you fly or walk. You should get it after staring at it for a second or so.
(2) Awarded by standing too close to the TV near the "D" objective. Just use the christmas chains aka ladders to get up there (the left one/blue side one) is currently bugged.
(3) Casual campers paradise. Getting up there is easy for both sides.
(4) You have to get on top of the cupboard near "C" objective (where the soldier figurines are). There is a hidden Rising Storm disc and the achievement is unlocked upon standing in front of it. The only option to get up there is by dropping from the huey.
(5) Shouldnt take too long as many people choke here or run out of tickets.
(6) Just head out to the "D" objective and you should get it as soon as you get close to the blocks. However there are many blocks around the map and several people have reported getting it elsewhere.
(7) Very good piloting skills needed. You have to fly up the chimney close to "C" objective. Once you reach the top (touch Santa´s boots) you should get it. Some people said they got the achievement simply by walking around the fireplace (bug), but that didnt work for me. Remember, only the pilot gets the achievement. Upon getting the achievement, pilot can jump out allowing the copilot to get it as well.
The main problem with this achievement is that the space is so small that the helicopter does not fit in the chimney if not positioned precisely around 90 degrees). If you try to go up without rotating the helicopter the tail rotor will hit the wall. Turning and controlling the speed and distance from the walls is actually the key. After turning around 90 ish degrees, just reposition the helicopter inside the chimney accordingly and go all the way up.
(8) Just deploy on n.3. What a wonderful idea to allow every role to pilot a choppa. You remember how everybody was TKing near the choppers back in the day? Yeah it is back. So many people want to fly the hueys, but only 2 available. Well if you manage to pilot one, you got the achievement. Just remember to drop out of huey before the crash. No fall damage.
Feel free to comment or post some additional tips I should include in this guide. We are a community. We do things together. Thanks.
