100% Completion Guide

Overview

A short, quick guide for completing the game 100%. Videos for each mission to show all achievements, mementos, and heroic actions as you come across them in game.

Distinguishes Service

Distinguished Service
Complete the game on Veteran difficulty.

Able to play any mission on this difficulty, but I recommend playing on Veteran right from the beginning.
Will need to watch to the end, until after credits are done before this unlocks.
Should be able to complete 90-100% of the game in one play through.
If you do miss anything, just go back to that specific mission and play on a lower difficulty.

Squad Ability Achievements

These abilities vary from mission to mission.
Will be available when the bar icons on the right are yellow.
The icon bars will recharge by getting kills.
If a icon bar fully charged and you completed the game without getting the achievement.
- Select any mission and play it until the bar icon is full. Once full, keep them full until you have reached a checkpoint.
- Once checkpoint has been reached, keep reloading and pressing the designated key. Rinse and repeat until the achievements are unlocked.
You could also do the above steps right away, early on, just to get the achievements out of the way.

Friend in Need
Request Zussman to toss you First Aid Kits 30 times.

I See Movement
Request Pierson to spot enemies 25 times.

Praise and Pass
Request Turner to toss you ammo 20 times.

School of Hard Knocks
Request Stiles to toss you grenades 15 times.

Who needs a pendant?
Request Aiello to toss you signal smoke and call in mortar strikes 10 times.

Miscellaneous Achievements

These achievements are pretty straightforward, requires no explanation.
Load last checkpoint if you really want to, just so you can get the achievements out of the way.

Slow and Steady
Spend 3 minutes using Focus (with a sniper) in the campaign.

Potato Masher
Save 5 allies by throwing away a live enemy grenade.

Chain Smoker
Disable 50 enemies using smoke grenades.
– Throw smoke grenades at large groups of enemy soldiers to get this achievement faster.

Mementos & Heroic Actions

All Mementos and Heroic Actions are instantly saved once the icon appears on screen. Don’t have to do them again if you die or can leave mission immediately if your repeating mission just for the collectible item.
If you do miss them, don’t worry, just load last checkpoint until you get it.

Mementos

There are 33 mementos divided by 11 missions = 3 mementos per mission.

Heroic Actions

There are 3 types of heroic actions and a total of 23 of them.
- 10 Struggles (an enemy struggling with an ally, must shoot the enemy very quickly).
- 9 Drags (must drag wounded ally to safety before he bleeds out).
- 4 Surrenders (instead of killing certain enemies you must aim at them so they lay down their weapons).
  - There is a marker (scope or mouse will appear) on the Heroic Actions when they happen, but they happen at specific moments and only last for about 5 seconds so you will need to react quickly.

Successfully escort the pole charge engineer to the pillbox in Hill 493.

Now the engineer needs to make it to the bunker alive, if he dies just restart last checkpoint.
Will have to take the MG out 4 times.
1 – Take out the MG and interact with the engineer to send him to the next spot.
2 – Take out the MG and interact with the engineer to send him to the next spot.

Worst Christmas Ever
Complete Battle of the Bulge on any difficulty.

Flyboy
Protect the bombers by personally shooting down 12 enemy planes.

Top right corner will show how many planes are remaining. Only need 12, but there are 20, allies can steal kills.
This is actually the toughest mission specific achievement in the game in my opinion.
Will most likely need to adjust the mouse sensitivity up and down depending on your reaction time.
There are 2 waves. The 1st wave you get a group of planes at once and you have to fly around to take them out. Wave 2 its a 1 on 1 or dog fighter type situation.
Shoot when you can, but do not overheat the gun. Shoot in bursts, not all at once.
Watch for ally planes, you can take damage and crash from them.

Complete Ambush on any difficulty.

Infiltrated
Reach the sniper perch without being detected in Ambush.

This happens after ambushing the garrison part.
Follow the trail, stick to the right, there will be a sewer you can use to get inside.
Stick to the right side of the hanger, take your time going through the hangers, should have no issue getting through without being detected.
If you get detected, just restart checkpoint.
In the first hanger on the right, there is a sewer/gate you can open in the back corner to hide if needed.
Unlocks if you make it to the top of one of the over watch positions.

To The End
Complete the campaign, need to beat all 11 missions.

Will need to watch to the end, until after credits are done before this unlocks.

Defender
Protect the convoy by shooting down all 25 planes in The Rhine.

I highly recommend adjusting your mouse sensitivity to 9 or 10.
12 planes in the first set and 13 in the second set.
Shoot ahead of the plane, in burst, not fully automatic.
If the gun does overheat, your better off restarting over.
Checkpoint 1 – as soon as you get on the AA gun
Checkpoint 2 – After the first 12 planes fly by. There will be 4 going right to left and it will happen immediately after that.
Checkpoint 3 – shortly after getting off the AA gun, so if the achievement doesn’t unlock while you’re still on the gun, you missed a plane at some point.
