Hints
Easy "Clusterluck" achievement
Play Act 1 under the Casual difficulty setting. Play
the very first chapter "14 Days after E-day" until reaching
the part where you are about to go outside for the second time.
This is when the Locusts are about to break open the door. Run
to the door that is not in front of them or you will die. Make
sure you have frag grenades equipped. When they break open the
door, stick the very first Locust that comes through the door
then stand in front of him so he cannot run away. When the grenade
explodes it should kill all three of the Locusts and you might
survive. If you survived make sure that you killed all three of
them then pause game play. Load the last checkpoint and do this
ten times. You do not have to survive while trying to get this
achievement.
Play the "Evolution" section of Chapter 3. After you
rescue the stranded, you will reach a point where you must cross
wooden floor boards that may fall away. Cross all the way to the
other side where the respawning grenades are located. Standing
just at the edge of the planks, wait until a few wretches gather
underneath. Then, toss a grenade in the middle of the group. Refill
your grenades as needed. To make it even easier, do this is co-op
mode and have your partner stand on the planks looking down into
the pit.

Easy achievements
Instead of completing the game three times, just play
it under the Insane difficulty to get all three achievements for
each act, completing the game, the Broken Fingers, and A Dish
Best Served Cold all at the same time.
When playing online, search for a one round Warzone game with
a round length of 1 minute. This is called an achievement match.
You get free kills towards your achievements. Each played takes
a turn. One person from each team will go to the opposite side
of the map while his teammates stand behind and wait for a person
from the other team to come over to them. The one player from
the other team kills everyone, except for the one person who is
killing on the other team. The other players should stand there
and let him kill them any way desired. If you swing your smoke
grenade or throw it, the person will down your teammates and you
can revive them, so you can get your revive achievement. When
there is only one person on each team remaining, wait for the
time to run out so you can start again, with another person on
your team turn taking their turn to earn the achievements.
Easy achievement points for Co-Op mode
When starting a Co-Op campaign, instead of logging
into your main Gamertag as player one, log in as player two. Doing
this from the beginning or while replaying chapters will let you
play as Dominic Santiago. There are several achievements that
you will unlock playing as him. Also if you start as Dominic from
the beginning, you will not gain any less points then you would
as the main character and it will save you a lot of time.
Navigating the Rotten Wood room
Refer to this map of the "Rotten Wood" room in Act 3. This is an annoying part of the level for first time players because there is no way to identify rotten wood and is thus time consuming. The map should provide a clear path of safety, however it is not to scale. It also provides the location of the COG tags located in the room.
Easy Xbox Live kills
When playing on Xbox Live have a boomshot and a sniper ready. When your enemy is taking cover fire two boomshot bullets as fast as you can. They will think you are out of ammunition. Take out the sniper and aim at their position. As soon as they come out, get a head shot.
When a player is teasing you by ducking up and down behind cover, time his ups and downs. Just before he ducks, shoot but do not hit him. He will then come up again. Immediately blast him.
Put away all your guns and say that you have nothing remaining. Most of the time they will come for you, but have a sniper ready. Try to spot him and shoot him in the head.
"Roadie Run" directly at your opponent with your shotgun. When you get close (a few feet away), release A and immediately shoot. You can get some easy kills by doing this. It works best if you sneak up on your enemy from behind.
On any small multi-player map like Mansion, to know where the enemies are located, go inside the door and throw a smoke. Other peoples may say something like "Incoming smoke!" and
you will now know that the enemies are near.
"About face" maneuver
This type of move is done when your character whips around 180 degrees quickly. To do it, hold Analog-stick Away to start walking backwards + A for a short time. Release A when your character turns around to perform it. To avoid frag grenades or retreat somewhere fast, keep holding A and Marcus will "Roadie Run" in the opposite direction.
Two player path block
Use the following trick while playing in two player mode and you reach a difficult part with a doorway. Have one player die in the doorway. This creates a block that the Locust cannot get past. They will usually line up behind your dead partner, allowing you a safe zone to easily pick off the queued up enemy. Once it is clear, just revive your friend and move on.
Spinning kill
When close to a downed enemy, take out your chainsaw and hold the Right Analog-stick Right or Left. This will make you spin while you slice them in half.
Chainsaw rev
When you have the chainsaw activated, hold B
and tap RT. This should make the chainsaw emit a loud grinding
sound.
When you are in melee combat hold B and tap RT to
rip through your opponent.
