8Shooting on Location
PSN Profile Completion Rate: 7.31%
The Scavenger andPhD Flopper combinationinCall of Duty: Black Opsis truly lethal and all kinds of fun, so players might already have the Shooting on Location achievement simply due to the map’s meta. However, since less than 8% of players have achieved it, those seeking it can find the explanation below.
Shooting on Location requires players to kill a total of 10 zombies with one shot from the Scavenger. It’s most beneficial to upgrade the weapon. In co-op, players can let their buddy train a horde and then shoot them 100 feet away, which is over 30 meters. However, in solo, this requires hoarding zombies at the Lighthouse and then running fast with Stamin-Up to spawn in an effort to kill 10 zombies before they go past the 30-meter range.
7Time Travel Will Tell
PSN Profile Completion Rate: 5.89%
Main quests and main easter eggs inCOD Zombiesare no easy tasks, and players will inevitably find themselves repeating a cycle in an effort to finally complete them. They have obscure and difficult steps at times, but none are as obscure and difficult as Shangri-La, due to the fact that it requires puzzles and communication between four players.
As such, less than 6% of players withBlack Opshave completed the main quest in Shangri-La, and thus the Focusing Stone has never been acquired for over 94% of the game’s total population. It’s not surprising, considering how it requires four players in total communication with each step.
This achievement returned for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 – Zombie Chronicles, and has a 2.31% completion rate!
6Ground Control
PSN Profile Completion Rate: 3.91%
Ground Control requires players to survive on the beloved Moon map, in which they will need to turn on the power and wait around for an announcement that an excavator is coming down into either the Firedome, Tunnel 6, or Tunnel 11. Once an excavator begins its journey, players only have a few minutes to find the Hacker in the Laboratory, where they must then take it back to the spawn room to deactivate the excavator that will cut through a specific area of the map, leaving it without oxygen.
The reason this achievement is so rare is simply because of the RNG required. Some players go enter games, and perhaps even to round 40 and beyond, without the game sending an excavator to a location it hasn’t been. Excavators come down at random, and some unlucky players might have a repeat. Plus, trying to deactivate an excavator on high rounds isa death sentence.
This achievement returned for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 – Zombie Chronicles, and has a 2.40% completion rate!
5Full Lockdown
PSN Profile Completion Rate: 3.49%
Everyone who has experienced the S-Tier map of Mob of the Dead knows of the dreaded fury ofBrutus, the warden of Alcatrazwho will spawn in at random and will hit perks, Mystery Box, and buildable stations to lock them down. There are so many spots that Brutus must lock down to activate the achievement, with over 9 spots to lock down.
From the plane to Speed Cola, players are going to need to guide Brutus to every lockable function of the map. Killing Brutus results in a restart, as it has to be the same Brutus to lock everything available. It’s a pain to unlock, but a nostalgic reward.
4Don’t Fire Until You See
PSN Profile Completion Rate: 3.40%
One of the hardest trophies inCOD Zombies, Don’t Fire Until You See is going to be a lengthy one, and punishing, since players will need to restart if they touch lava or are impacted by a fire-zombie’s explosion. Headingthrough the Green Run of TranZit, players must use the turbine on every door, as well as purchase every door, all without hitting lava.
This requires players to to use the turbine and spend all their points, staying safe on the bus while heading to each location. With almost 20 doors in TranZit, it might take a few runs to get this one right, but it’s easily one ofCOD Zombies’ hardest and rarest.
3Awaken the Gazebo
PSN Profile Completion Rate: 2.96%
Buried is a beloved map for a reason, and one of them is due to the fact that it’s possible to Pack-a-Punch on round 1. It’s not going to be easy, but thanks to the chalk drawings around the map, players can easily earn 1,000 points for every chalk outline. On top of that, six zombies spawn on round 1, so players can only kill 5, and maximize their money by shooting them in the leg and then using a melee kill.
Obtaining the points might not be overly hard, but what is, is heading through the mansion and fighting off the ghost girls. The ghost girls steal points, so if players actually make it to the hedge maze for the Pack-a-Punch, they will need tofight off the ghost girlsso that they don’t lose all their money and force them to try again.
2Web of Defeat
PSN Profile Completion Rate: 2.51%
When Spiders are active on Zetsubou No Shima, they have the potential to use their webbing to lock players and zombies out of specific areas. Whether it’s webbing up a door or a perk machine, the Spiders are a nuisance, but players can use them to obtain a specific achievement.
There are many ways to destroy the webbing and to start, players can use their normal knife, then a grenade, then the upgraded bowie knife. Players will also need Widow’s Wine to destroy webs with a Webbed Grenade. It’s also essential to keep the starting pistol to destroy a web with the upgraded Death and Taxes, then lastly, players need to use a Ray Gun and the XM-53, both from the Mystery Box.
1Keep Close
PSN Profile Completion Rate: 2.03%
Revelations can be a pretty tough map due to its celebration ofCOD Zombieshistory. Combining almost every map’s design into one mash-up, players can also find Keepers within Revelation that can be purchased to act as mobile defenders. These Keepers can deal an okay-ish amount of damage to enemies, but they mustdefeat every enemyin Revelations for the achievement.
Revelations have quite a few enemies, and players must build the Keeper themselves, which takes time. Players then have a lengthy checklist of things to kill: Zombies, Rotten Zombies, Panzersoldats, Margwas, Furies, Parasites, Spiders, and Corrupted Keepers. It’s a long list and some players simply don’t want to go through the effort.
