NOTE: I will not be posting my PSN Account because I do not wish to play with
people that I do not know. I will not help you with your trophies in

This guide is designed to help you collect all achievements/trophies in the
simplest way possible (short of boosting). I will not post any glitches that
aid in the collection, only legitimate methods.
Please be aware that the three hidden trophies have their details listed in
this guide. Also, some trophies partain directly to certain parts of missions,
and while I may try avoid spoiling them it may be necessary for the sake of
communication.
I own the PS3 version of the game and as such will not be versed in any
problems or changes there may be in the Xbox 360 version. Please inform me if
I make any version related mistakes (email is found at the top of the guide).
Personally I have collected all the trophies and found this game to be quite
an easy Platinum (relative to some of the other games you could be trying to
Platinum).
If you have any strategies, want to host this guide or just have a question,
feel free to send me an email. I will not, however, respond to requests to

2.] VERSION HISTORY [0200]
==============================================================================
This section details any updates or changes to the guide, the date they were
published and in what version. You don't really have to worry about this.
This section will contain some strategies regarding collecting trophies to
make things as quick as possible. It also contains some things you should be
aware of before attempting Veteran.
1. Play on an the easiest difficulty while collecting extra trophies
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are collecting a trophy that isn't dependent on a difficulty, do it on
the easiest available skill level. In Call of Duty: Black Op's case, do it on
recruit.
2. Play the Game on Veteran the first time
------------------------------------------
Veteran can be really annoying, but it will be more annoying if you play
through the entire game multiple times. Just start with the hardest difficulty
and you will save time, energy and get the trophies quickest.
3. Prepare to die
-----------------
On Veteran difficulty the enemies aim faster, do more damage and are more
aggresive. There's no way around it, you will die many times in Veteran. Get
your stress ball ready and remove all sharp objects from the room.
4. Infinite Respawns makes it tough
-----------------------------------
The biggest difficulty with Veteran mode is not so much the increased damage
to yourself, but the worst part of it is the enemies respawning. Essentially,
Veteran is about knowing when to run and knowing when to hide. While you sit
in a safe location, enemies will continually run in no matter how many you
kill. That is right, there is an infinite supply of foes. Your campaign allies
in this game are more useful than in past Call of Duty games, but still will
not do much in aiding you. It is your job to push up towards the enemies so
your allies will do so too.
5. Ration your special grenades
-------------------------------
I strongly recommend holding onto your special grenades for times of extreme
frustration, this extends especially to smoke grenades, as they generally are
not found and can be a life saver in particularily difficult parts.
6. Use auto-aim
---------------
You can lock on to an enemy immediately by tapping the aim-down-sights button.
While trying to locate enemies in the distance, this can be a godsend. You can
immediately find their positions and send a burst back at them.
7. Take cover
-------------
If you have ANY damage at all, wait in a safe spot before engaging the enemy
again. You will die EXTREMELY fast if you are hit while previously injured.
Also, you will either need to shoot from behind an object, or around an object
while prone. This will make it harder for you to get hit.
8. Take Grenades into account
-----------------------------
While in hiding, remember that the enemy still throws grenades. Make sure you
have a safe place to move if you have a grenade land next to you (or throw it
back, if you can).
9. Learn to hipfire
-------------------
When you are in cover, you aim down the sights. When you are moving, HIPFIRE!
It is always faster to hipfire than pull up the iron sights and pick a shot.
You will also move faster hipfiring than ADS. At close range, you will
probably hit them anyway.
10. Pick up useful attachments
------------------------------
By this I mean pick up enemy guns that have things like extended mags and dual
mags, because extra ammunition is always useful. I don't recommend grenade
launchers on Veteran because you must expose yourself greatly to fire them
and have to switch back to regular firing if someone sneaks up on you.
11. Be Aware
------------
Due to the nature of enemy respawns its not uncommon for an enemy to appear
behind you, constantly watch your back.
One thing you should be aware of while trying to collect all the trophies for
completing missions on Veteran difficulty is the glitch. Some people have
complained that the trophies were not unlocking, citing a glitch. Technically
this is a glitch, but it is easily avoidable.
The glitch is this: if at any point during a mission you pause and select
"SAVE AND QUIT", and then select "RESUME MISSION" from the menu later, you
will not get the trophy even if you complete the mission. Essentially, you
MUST complete a mission in a single sitting to get the trophy.
Before you ask "Does that mean I have to beat the campaign all at once?" the
answer is no. There is a simple work around, everytime you save and quit,
simply press "Restart level" instead of "Resume Mission" and beat it from the
start. If you are thinking of stopping partway through a mission, then you
should either reconsider or restart from the beginning the next time you pick
up the game.
Death to Dictators
------------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Take down Castro with a headshot.
GUIDE: On the very first mission (Operation 40) you will breach two rooms. The
second of which has Castro. Aim down the sights of your pistol and aim
for his head. It is very easy to do on any difficulty and you will know
you got it if everything goes slow motion and the camera follows your
bullet.
Sacrifice
---------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Description: Ensure your squad escapes safely from Cuba.
GUIDE: Unavoidable. Simply complete the mission "Operation 40" on any
difficulty.
Vehicular Slaughter
-------------------
Trophy: Silver
Gamerscore: 25G
Description: Destroy all enemies on vehicles during the prison break.
GUIDE: During the mission "Vorkuta" you will find yourself holding a minigun
called a "Death Machine". Destroy every truck you see, and all the
enemies on it. Later, you get on a motorbike. Kill all the enemies
around you with your pistol, and then when you get on the truck machine
gun destroy all vehicles: trucks, motorbikes and the helicopter. If you
don't get it, you may have missed something. I'm not entirely sure when
you need to begin destroying enemies on vehicles but I would start from
as early as possible. Do it on recruit for best results.
Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death
---------------------------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Description: Escape Vorkuta.
GUIDE: Complete the mission "Vorkuta" on any difficulty. It's unavoidable.
Slingshot Kid
-------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Destroy all slingshot targets in 3 attempts.
GUIDE: During "Vorkuta" you will man a slingshot. Aim somewhat above the three
targets pointed out and hold down on the left stick, then release. It
is pretty easy to do. If it is your first time playing the level I
recommend doing it again on recruit and just learning the physics of the
slingshot the first time.
GUIDE: Ridiculously easy, you don't even have to do anything during this
mission. Simply watch the mission "U.S.D.D." on any difficulty.
Unavoidable.
A Safer Place
-------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Description: Sabotage the Soviet space program.
GUIDE: Complete the mission "Executive Order" on any difficulty. Unavoidable.
Tough Economy
-------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Use no more than 6 TOW guided missiles to destroy the tanks in
the defense of Khe Sanh.
GUIDE: During the mission "S.O.G." you will have to use a TOW missile near the
end to destroy the tanks. Play this on Recruit and take your time to
aim at the enemies. If you miss, let the tank destroy you or shoot a TOW
near yourself so you restart from the last checkpoint. Just don't miss.
Looks Don't Count
-----------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Description: Break the siege in the battle of Khe Sanh.
GUIDE: Complete the mission "S.O.G." on any difficulty. Unavoidable.
SOG Rules
---------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Description: Retrieve the dossier and the defector from Hue City.
GUIDE: Complete the mission "The Defector" on any difficulty. Unavoidable.
Raining Pain
------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Rack up a bodycount of 20 NVA using air support in Hue City.
GUIDE: Play the mission "The Defector" on recruit and when you receive the
ability to call in air support, mark an area with many enemies. Sit
back, wait until you can call it in and do it again. If you advance
minimally, you will still get many enemy respawns. Also, you will lose
the ability to call in the air support at one point but later in the
mission you get it back, so complete it then if need be.
The Dragon Within
-----------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Kill 10 NVA with Dragon's Breath rounds.
GUIDE: At the start of the mission "The Defector" you get a SPAS-12 with
incendiary "Dragon's Breath" rounds. Simply use this weapon until you
have 10 kills. I did this on my first runthrough on Veteran but if you
really need it then do it on recruit.
Heavy Hand
----------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Use the Grim Reaper to destroy the MG emplacement.
GUIDE: During the mission "Victor Charlie" you will receive a Grim Reaper.
Hold on to this until you reach a point where you are in a house and a
machine gun is firing on you. Destroy the MG with your machine gun. I
got this one on my Veteran run but if you'd rather do it on recruit it
would probably be easier.
Up Close and Personal
---------------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Silently take out 3 VC.
GUIDE: During "Victor Charlie" you will have a knife out for all the time.
There are three Vietcong soldiers you must kill: one in a boat that
you examine and then pull him down into the water, one sleeping in a
bunk bed and one sitting with his back to you. This is a very easy
trophy/achievement.
Double Trouble
--------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Description: Use only dual wield weapons to escape Kowloon.
GUIDE: This trophy can be very hard to do on Veteran, so I recommend doing it
on recruit. Get some dual wielded SMGs as well as pistols and spray.
This trophy is for the mission "Numbers".
Broken English
--------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Description: Escape Kowloon.
GUIDE: Complete the mission "Numbers" on any difficulty. Unavoidable.
Lord Nelson
-----------
Trophy: Silver
Gamerscore: 25G
Description: Destroy all targets and structures while making your way up the
river.
GUIDE: This one can definitely be a pain in the butt. On the mission
"Crash Site" there is a part where you are on a boat. Go on recruit and
take your sweet time shooting all the docks, houses and enemies you can
see. I must have spent at least a good 30 minutes driving back and forth
slowly shooting at everything. If the structure blows up once, keep
firing because it will often be destroyed even more. Fire the missiles
and the machine gun constantly. I'm not entirely sure how much damage
you need to cause to these buildings but make sure you can't destroy
them any further. At the end of the level you will fight an enemy boat
and will be unable to go back after this, so be sure to do it first.
Never Get Off the Boat
----------------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Description: Find the Soviet connection in Laos.
GUIDE: Complete the mission "Crash Site" on any difficulty.
Pathfinder
----------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 50G
Description: Guide the squad through the Soviet outpost without them getting
killed.
GUIDE: During the mission "WMD" you will be manning a soldier in a spy plane.
Simply follow the instructions and guide them. At times, you will take
over the actual soldiers and fight some enemies. If you OR ANY of the
squadmates die, you will have to restart. After the screen fades to
white, you will get this.
Mr. Black OP
------------
Trophy: Silver
Gamerscore: 50G
Description: Enter the Soviet relay station undetected.
GUIDE: During the mission "WMD" you will come across a number of enemies that
are doing things such as fixing cars and patrolling. At this point, you
must use your silenced AUG and crossbow to take all of the enemies out
without being discovered. I did it with my crossbow but apparently the
AUG works better for when there are multiple enemies.
Simply pick the guy that looks like they're paying the least attention
and take them out. Often times if there are two enemies your squadmate
will mop them up. If you miss, you have a few seconds to take them out
before they sound the alarm. If you fail, kill yourself and try again.
With Extreme Prejudice
----------------------
Trophy: Silver
Gamerscore: 25G
Description: Get to the POW compound in the Hind using only rockets.
GUIDE: During the mission "Payback" you will enter a Hind. Do this on recruit
difficulty and destroy all the targets using only the missile (do not
even touch the machine gun button). It might be a little harder taking
down the enemy choppers but it isn't so bad.
Russian Bar-B-Q
---------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Incinerate 10 enemies with the flamethrower attachment in the POW
compound.
GUIDE: During the mission "Payback" right before you enter the area with the
POWs there is an enemy with an AK-47 flamethrower. Pick this up and use
it constantly until you burn 10 enemies to death (do this on recruit).
It's really not too hard, just don't waste the ammo.
Light Foot
----------
Trophy: Silver
Gamerscore: 30G
Description: Escape the ship with 2:15 left on the timer in Veteran.
GUIDE: This one can be a pain in the rear. During the mission "Project Nova"
you have to escape from the ship with 2:15 left on the clock. I would
recommend playing the level on recruit first just so you can get an
idea of what you are doing. Specifically, learn where the pipe you have
to shoot out is (it will be lit up as an objective). Doing this will
save you some time. Then, you will hit some checkpoints along the way.
As long as you keep sprinting with an SMG, hipfiring enemies out of your
path you will make it.
This will likely take you a few tries. On my attempt, I actually died
right as I reached the exit rope but still got the trophy. So you don't
need to actually go down it, as long as you touch it.
Some Wounds Never Heal
----------------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Description: Escape the Past.
GUIDE: Complete the mission "Project Nova" on any difficulty. Unavoidable.
I Hate Monkeys
--------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Kill 7 monkeys in under 10 seconds in the Rebirth labs.
GUIDE: During the mission "Rebirth", you will reach a lab with many monkeys
in cages. Right outside the entrance to a large lab with many enemies
are many of these cages. Pick out two particularily dense corners and
quickly throw two grenades, then shoot a few monkeys. You will easily
get it.
No Leaks
--------
Trophy: Silver
Gamerscore: 50G
Description: Make it through the NOVA 6 gas without dying on Rebirth island.
GUIDE: During the mission "Rebirth" there will be a point where you pull on a
gas mask. Play this on recruit and go VERY slowly. Use the thermal
scope you are given to pick out enemies ahead, and be careful in close
range areas. Your suit will not regenerate health and if you die you
must restart.
Clarity
-------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Description: Crack the code.
GUIDE: Complete the mission "Revelations" on any difficulty. Unavoidable.
Double Whammy
-------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Destroy both helicopters with one Valkyrie rocket from the deck
of the ship.
GUIDE: During the mission "Redemption" after you land on the ship deck you will
eventually pick up a Valkyrie Rocket. Play this on recruit and aim at
the two choppers when they are close together. You either want to hit
one of them so they crash into each other or fire the rocket right
between them and detonate it yourself so both take damage. This will
likely take a few tries and if you destroy one without the other then
throw a grenade by your feet and kill yourself for another chance.
BLACK OP MASTER
---------------
Trophy: Gold
Gamerscore: 100G
Description: Complete the campaign on Hardened or Veteran difficulty.
GUIDE: I recommend doing this on Veteran as you are going to need to get the
Veteran mission achievements anyway, so why not? See those trophies for
more level specific moments.
Stand Down
----------
Trophy: Silver
Gamerscore: 35G
Description: Complete the campaign on any difficulty.
GUIDE: Very easy to do on recruit, but if you are going for all the trophies
then do it on Veteran. You will receive this trophy in addition to
BLACK OPS MASTER.
Frag Master
-----------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Kill 5 enemies with a single frag grenade.
GUIDE: During the escape in Operation 40 you will find yourself exiting
Castro's house in a large entrance hall. Outside are a number of trucks
with mounted machine guns, towers and a fountain. Wait until enemies
approach the fountain and throw a grenade just in front of it. There is
an explosive barrel that will ignite and kill the enemies around it.
Sally Likes Blood
-----------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Demonstrate killer economic sensibilities by taking down 3
enemies with a single bullet.
GUIDE: I found this easiest to get on Dead Ops arcade, simply play the game
and try to get zombies into crowds. Eventually you will get it by
spraying. If you want a more reliable method, go onto Kino Der Toten
and open up all the doors from upstairs to the right all the way to
the theatre (turn the power on. Get a gun such as the L96A1 and run in
a route from the theatre, into the lobby, up the stairs and back down
again. When all the zombies are following you in a straight line, shoot
the row of zombies and kill three at once. It's easier to do if it is an
earlier level and you have your gun pack a punched.
Unconventional Warfare
----------------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Use the explosive bolts to kill 30 enemies in the campaign.
GUIDE: I'm not sure if this is cumulative but in the mission "Executive Order"
as well as "WMD" you will receive a crossbow. Equip the explosive bolts
and aim at groups of enemies or explosive barrels in hopes of killing
more. I did this on Executive Order but like I said, I don't know if it
adds from levels before so I could use some clarification from you guys
on it.
Cold Warrior
------------
Trophy: Silver
Gamerscore: 25G
Description: Complete "Operation 40", "Vorkuta", and "Executive Order" on
Veteran difficulty.
GUIDE: This is probably one of the hardest trophies on the game simply because
it has Executive Order, which I definitely consider to be one of the
two hardest missions on Veteran. In particular, right before the end you
find yourself underground and having to fight through a small lab and
then a narrow hallway. Keep ALL your smoke grenades for this part. You
will have to slowly pick off people, then throw a smoke in the hall and
run to your left, taking cover. Watch the right side and repeat the
process. Then you will want to run into the room on the right and kill
anyone inside. This room is a deathtrap but once you clean it out you
shouldn't have too many problems. Work your way to the right and throw
a smoke. The checkpoint is at the end of the hall where it turns left.
Down and Dirty
--------------
Trophy: Silver
Gamerscore: 25G
Description: Complete "SOG" and "The Defector" on Veteran difficulty.
GUIDE: This is the other one I'd consider for hardest trophy. "SOG" is just
all around chaotic and difficult to discern friend from foe. The part
where you detonate C4 on a poorly protected hill is tough, but the
worst is yet to come. You are on a large hill going downwards with many
enemies. One of your squadmates will talk to some Marines and order them
around. At this part, you want to take out some of the enemies and DASH
down the hill to cover. There's an armory on the right side of the hill
with some cover.
Near this armory is a barrel standing on the hill. Most people don't
notice this, but in order to advance you must shoot as many enemies as
you can, then before they respawn throw some grenades and dash to the
barrel. You will be prompted to "knock it over". Do so, and then turn
around and DIVE for cover. This is one of the most frustrating parts
and requires persistance. There is also ANOTHER barrel you must knock
over too, and I don't recall there being a checkpoint there either.
It's Your Funeral
-----------------
Trophy: Silver
Gamerscore: 25G
Description: Complete "Numbers", "Project Nova" and "Victor Charlie" on
Veteran difficulty.
GUIDE: None of these levels I remember posing any real problem that couldn't
be overcome by trying it a few more times. Just keep trying.
Not Today
---------
Trophy: Silver
Gamerscore: 25G
Description: Complete "Crash Site", "WMD" and "Payback" on Veteran difficulty.
GUIDE: None of these levels I remember posing any real problem that couldn't
be overcome by trying it a few more times. Just keep trying.
Burn Notice
-----------
Trophy: Silver
Gamerscore: 25G
Description: Complete "Rebirth" and "Redemption" on Veteran difficulty.
GUIDE: Rebirth features the gas mask part, and this can be very frustrating
especially when you can't often see who is shooting at you. Take it nice
and easy and use your thermal scope. Also, the part where you must enter
the lab area (after taking off the mask) can be a pain too, so be sure
to keep some ammo for your thermal gun for that (to spot enemies on the
roof and such).
Closer Analysis
---------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Find all the hidden intel.
GUIDE: This trophy isn't hard but it is time consuming. Play on recruit and go
through the levels. I recommend doing this one while you do the extra
trophies (such as "Take out two choppers at once" etc.) Anyway, here is
a list of all the Intel.

enemies and many boxes, look to the back. It is on a box

and you'll find this on the table.
THE DEFECTOR: 1. Right after you meet an old friend again, check the room
on the right.

the side room by a computer.
2. After going down the roof in slow motion, go forward under
the small shelter and check on the ground to the left.

down to the end, turn around and you'll find it there.

top floor.
2. In a hangar where the Germans try to surrender, its at the
back right room.
3. As you exit the ship on a time limit, its right below the
ramp to the way out (to the right).
VICTOR CHARLIE: 1. After climbing through the windows to the sleeping enemies,
you will see one standing up. Turn around and find it in a
large nook of the building.
2. There's a spider hole marked by an objective, and a hut
behind it. It's between the table and the wall to the left.
3. In the rat tunnels, keep taking the left path until you
find this one on the right side of the tunnel.
CRASH SITE: 1. Head left at the chopper and flare at the start and you will
find it on a crate by some barrels.
2. After getting off the boat its on the right side of the
path leading forward.
3. After climbing the wing of the plane turn right and drop
down, the intel is right below you.
WMD: 1. In the enemy barracks you must destroy, its on a desk near
where you enter.

the office building. It's on a desk by a printer.
REDEMPTION: 1. Once you are foot-mobile on the ship deck, you will pass
through a large shipment container. Its on the left in the
container.
2. After descending the stairs into a locker room, and even
lower to a command room, you can find it under the table
by the door. Look at it from the left side of the table.
3. Under the desk upstairs in the flooded area near the end.
Date Night
----------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Watch a film or clip with a friend.
GUIDE: Simply get a clip from the community or your own matches and invite a
friend to a theatre lobby. Watch the clip and bingo, you have a trophy.
In The Money
------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 20G
Description: Finish 5 Wager Matches "in the money".
GUIDE: Play the cheapest 10 COD Point wager match available. I preferred Gun
Game. 5 of these on Nuketown went by very fast and if you can be the
host for those games you will practically be guaranteed a top finish.
Being "in the money" means coming in the top three players of a wager
match.
Ready For Deployment
--------------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Reach rank 10 in Combat Training.
GUIDE: Very simple, just play a Free-For-All with no teammates against the max
number of enemies on recruit. In no time you will have shot up many
ranks and have gotten this.
The Collector
-------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 20G
Description: In Zombie mode, buy every weapon off the walls in a single game.
GUIDE: Easiest way to do it is on Kino Der Toten. Open all the doors from the
upstairs of the lobby to the theatre, then turn on the power. Buy an
MP40 and get the Thundergun. And then run loops from the theatre to the
dressing room over and over again. Use the MP40 and get headshots in
order to rack up points, buying ammo off the wall for 500 points when
need be (192 bullets x 10 points per hit= 1920 points acquired, meaning
you will always be gaining points even if you buy ammo. Plus, you get
kills sometimes for 40 extra points).
After you have racked up 11,250 points (and have opened all the doors)
go around to everything on the wall and buy it. You must also get a
Bowie Knife, Frag Grenades and Claymores to get the trophy. The Bowie
Knife is by the Juggernog machine, the frag grenades are in the
teleporter room and the Claymores are on the stage. Here's a list of
the guns and their locations. You probably will have bought some already
(such as the M14 and MP40).
LOBBY:
M14: 500
Olympia: 500
DOWNSTAIRS BY LOBBY:

Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Fire a Pack-a-Punched Ballistic Knife at a downed ally to revive
them from a distance.
GUIDE: Follow the strategy from "The Collector", only this time with a friend.
Collect a lot of money (10,000 is recommended) and get a last zombie.
Try the box until you get the ballistic knife, then hop into the
teleporter and pack a punch it. Have your friend cook a grenade and
down themselves, then shoot them with the Ballistic Knife. ONLY the
person doing the reviving gets the trophy.
Hands Off the Merchandise
-------------------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 20G
Description: Kill the Pentagon thief before it can steal your load-out.
GUIDE: This is fairly easy to do if you play the map "Five" a lot on Zombies.
Basically, after you turn on the power switch (found on the bottom
level of the map, in the labs) a zombie will come approximately every
five rounds and steal your guns. Basically, wait until someone has a
Ray Gun before turning on the power. Then go to the middle level and up
on the catwalk. When the thief comes, he will appear to one player as
he actually is and everyone else will see him as a red cloud. The player
who can see him must run around in circles up top while everyone else
pelts him with weapons. Even if you can't see him, you can still hurt
him. The Ray Gun makes quick work with him. He won't be affected by
monkeys or slowed down with the Winter's Fury.
Alternately, if you play by yourself and want to get this quite easily
then just Solo upstairs for a few rounds until you have 4500 points AND
Quick Revive (on Solo it can be purchased without turning on the power).
After that, save a last zombie and move out. Open the door leading to
the elevator, the elevator, take the elevator, open the stairs, open
the elevator and go down. Turn on the power and go back upstairs. Stand
on the catwalk on the middle floor and make sure you have a nice view of
the teleporter. When the thief comes, down yourself with a grenade. On
Solo, if you have quick revive you will start reviving yourself and will
be given two pack a punched pistols. These pistols fire explosive rounds
and you can easily dispatch the thief by firing them at him.
Sacrificial Lamb
----------------
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 15G
Description: Shoot at or be shot by an ally with a Pack-a-Punch crossbow and
kill six zombies with the explosion.
GUIDE: Follow the strategy from "The Collector" until you have enough money
to get a Crossbow and Monkey Bombs. Then pack a punch your crossbow.
The crossbow bolts will act as monkey bombs, but for insurance, have
someone throw a monkey bomb to collect a crowd of zombies. Next, fire
a bolt at your partner and have him run into the crowd. You should
easily kill six zombies. Both the shooter and the lamb get the trophy.

boost to burst through as many zombies as you can.
