Advanced mission?

jimmirock · 06-25-2010, 04:40 AM

I got one of the Advanced Mission achievements (no cores taken) on Killzone yesterday. For a while I've tried to figure out what an advanced mission is, are they the extra modes on all maps? Are they the DLC maps?

So I tried to get the Lv1-only and Inferno-only Advanced Mission achievements, both on the DLC maps and both on different modes (20k resource challenge). But I didn't get either achievement.

So what are these Advanced missions eh!

The 'old' achievements can only be obtained in the Awakening missions. As to 'advanced' missions - not sure exactly from where they start from, but definately from Fire Control onwards.

I tried getting the Inferno-only achievement on the final map of Awakening under Grinder, but that didn't work either.

Firebug was definitely one of the harder achievements for me. but i had a misunderstanding issue with the "advanced mission" at first too. I thought that meant story challenge, but firebug on story challenge was impossible for me.

In the end i think i got it on barrier to entry on normal story mode, but I'm not 100% sure. But looking at the map it sure looks like a good candidate.

The inferno thingy is easy enough in Out of Fuel story mission.

My bad on saying advanced is from at least Fire Control onwards - must be Out of Fuel then

The "advanced mission" phrasing is something we should have done better. Basically we didn't allow you to get certain achievements on the first four levels considering those levels to be "learning" missions. Out of Fuel and every level thereafter is an "advanced mission". Sorry about the confusion.

Thanks for clearing it up! I'll give it another go now.

BTW, to get these achievements do you have to have all cores remaining? The last time I attempted Firebug on an Awakening map I lost 4 cores near the start. I assume that's why I didn't unlock the achievement?

Crazy Croc · 06-25-2010, 10:36 AM

Nope, one doesn't need to save all the cores. Just need to beat a level infers one needs to have at least one core remaining.

I think...

This is not entirely correct. Grinder modes do not seem to count as advanced missions either. I did all infernos on Veil of Ice grinder and did not get the achievement.

Thanks all! Got the achievements in the end (didn't notice the cannon one too). Firebug was pure sinister! I only just saved all the cores.

I still dont get how to the Firebug and Shell-Shocked, I have tried them on several "Advanced" levels as described above by pobst and the still wont unlock.

I do them without the loss of a single core and no unlock???

Does upgrading your towers not allow the unlock?
