Whack-A-Grub - Gears of War: Ultimate Edition

Image result for gears of war ultimate edition logo

Close all 4 E-Holes around the fountain in Fish in a Barrel without any Locust fully emerging - 10

Mission: Chapter 1, Act 3

After you find the dead bodies of Alpha Squad, you'll fight down the street towards a fountain, with 2 grenades and an ammo crate in it. Pick up the grenades to make 4, you received 2 at the beginning of the level. Selecting grenades and then aim at the holes as they begin to form, the game will point you in the right direction with "Points of Interest" (Y). You need to throw a grenade into the hole before any Locust come out, what it means before any of the Locust climb out and stand up. If you fail restart from the last checkpoint.

This achievement is a reference to the Whack-A-Mole Arcade Machines. Where the player has to whack the moles when they emerge from their holes.

In the Four Stores Job, Find a Gold Bar in the safe - 15

Contact; Four Stores Job
Equipment: Angle Grinder (possibly)

There are four stores in this mission, with 2 of which having safes in them; either under the store counter in the back. The counter safes need the drill while the ones in the back need an Angle Grinder. There is a possibility that a gold bar could be sitting in the safe or not, most of the time it would be in there at all. You don't have to be the one who picks the gold bar up, just someone in the crew.

This achievement is a reference to the song and meme of Gold Digger - by Kanye West. "Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger". When obviously she is a gold digger.

Win a Kin of the Mountain Race without Snow Tyres - 10

I completed the Snow Park Cross Country Circuit race in the BMW X6 M - 2015, I used this car because it was already an AWD vehicle. I changed the Drivatar Difficulty to "Inexperienced"or "New Racer", and won the race. When starting the race Warren will ask you if you are sure that you want to race without snow tyres, say yes and continue to the race. I've have heard sometimes it doesn't unlock, if not change the tyres to Street, instead of Stock.

Get 100,000 Score in one Chain in the 2016 Subaru #199 WRX STI VT15r Rally Car on Blizzard Mountain - 20

The Subaru #199 WRX STI VT15r Rally Car is free with the DLC. Personally, I found it a bit difficult to drift as I found it a bit too gripping for my liking. But I powered on anyways. I starting at the top of Mountain, north of the Hot Springs and I raced down the mountain as fast as I could, taking as many jumps as I could, also pulling large E-Drifts trying not to run out of speed as I continued. I finish south of Whitestone with 231,000 points.

Snowboating is a play on words; with Snow and Showboating.

Win a race with a Blizzard in the 1966 Ford F-100 Flareside Abatti Racing Trophy Truck - 20

The Ford F-100 Flareside Abatti Racing Trophy Truck is free with the DLC. First I recommend you upgrade all factors of the vehicle, including changing the drivetrain to AWD. This will give you more grip and more power in the thick snow and ice. Now choose a track with Blizzard Weather Conditions. Afterwards, win the race.

Smash 10 Snowmen in the 2016 Nissan Titan Warrior Concept - 20

The Nissan Titan Warrior Concept is free with the DLC. Driving around the town of Whitestone, in the bottom left hand corner of the map, there a numerous snowmen around the town. If you can't find 10, go away, do an event of something and come back for the rest. Each Snowmen run down at speed is worth a Snowman Skill.

Showdown is a play on words; Snow and Showdown.

Drift the 1985 Lancia Delta S4 Group B for 35,000 points in a Drift Zone on Blizzard Mountain - 20

The Lancia Delta S4 Group B is free with the DLC. I found the Snow Highland Drift Zone the easiest to this. Having Stability Control and Traction Control off. Coming from the top of the mountain, I ignored the small turns at the beginning, and got two giant slides into the last two corners. This put me at 38,000 points.

Beat the Ski Jump World Record (851ft) from a Danger Sign in the 1975 Lancia Stratos HF Group 4 - 20

First get the Lancia Stratos HF Group 4 - it's free with the DLC. Then get the "Snow Beast" Tune made by "EndlessObject", I found this tune to be the most helpful. Next you need to travel to the Hot Springs Danger Sign (unlock at 60 Stars). Get a big run up and hit the ramp slightly on the right, this is because it drops more on the right. You need to hit at least 851ft (259.38m).

The World Record for the longest Ski Jump is held by Anders Fannemel at 251.5m from Norway.

Race - Mountain Rush Descent (unlocked after 70 stars)

Firstly to unlock the 2016 Ford GYMKHANA 9 Focus RS RX, you have to have won the Kingmaker already.

You don't need any upgrades, but they will help you. Being able to slide the car via a Drift or E-Drift will help you get a faster time.

I managed 1:56 on my first try. If you would like, you can use the "Pull Rank Skill" from the skill shop; this will put you in pole position on the starting grid. All of these factors will help you get this achievement.

Collect 10 Pictures of Moxxi in Campaign of Carnage - 45 Gamerscore

Moxxi Portraits are rare drops from enemies throughout the Campaign of Carnage DLC. Your best bet is to go to Pyro Pete's Bar and farm the enemies there. The Badass Enforcers are the most likely to drop the Portraits.

Borderlands 2 - David Meet Goliath

Image result for logo borderlands 2Image result for david meet goliath borderlands 2

Allow a Goliath to level up four times before killing him - 15

For this achievement you will have to kill a GOD-liath. I found it the easiest to do this in Frostburn Canyon, coming back so I was higher level than most things, so I could weaken other enemies for the Goliath. Levelling up a Goliath; first you need to remove its helmet, by shooting it off of his head. Then the Goliath will begin to defeat any one its sees. I found it easy to take a Sniper and weaken other enemies, allowing the Goliath to finish them of.

Level 1 - Goliath
Level 2 - Raging Goliath
Level 3 - Badass Goliath
Level 4 - Super Badass Goliath
Level 5 - Ultimate Badass Goliath
Level 6 - GOD-liath

The GOD-liath will have levelled up 4 times at this point, now you can kill him.

This is a reference to the Christian Bible story of David and Goliath, those the Goliath was giant and David was not, he was able to defeat him using a Slingshot.

Halo 5: Guardians - Shoot from the Hip

Complete Glassed without any players using Smart Link - 10

Mission 3 - Glassed
Difficulty - Any (Easy)

Smart Link is the holographic scopes using by most weapons. In the mission, you can't use any scopes; meaning you cannot use the Left Trigger (on Default Controller). Playing through the level your natural reaction will be to use the Left Trigger but you'll have to keep telling yourself not to press it. You can use the handbrake (Left Trigger) while driving. You can't even use the scope on the turrets, as the achievement won't pop other wise. I recommend getting into the Driver Seat of each Warthog and Scorpion, this is because pulling the Left Trigger in the Warthog will doing a Hand Brake Slide and the Scorpion won't do anything.

Mission 2 - Blue Team
Difficulty - Any (Easy)

When you first come in contact with the Hunters, quickly loop round the edge of the room to the Nuclear Pod which you can interact with to move it and jump down into the vents.

Kill them, then the original pair of Hunters will enter the room afterwards. As soon as they enter the room the achievement will pop.
