Bridge over Trebled Slaughter

Well, I managed to bag another achievement today which had been eluding me.

It's not an easy one to get - perhaps one that you would think would be easy - however it's worth 30 points, and for a reason.

However if you're pretty good at the game - I think I can give you a few tips to get you this one fairly easily. First of all the rules - the timer starts when the bridge goes down, I'm 99% sure of this. It certainly does NOT start until the saferoom door has opened.

Now some other points about this one:-

1. You can get it on easy mode.

2. You can't rely on the computer - it will hang around fighting the tank while you are trying for a quick time.

3. You can't rely on other people - they'll probably slow you down or aren't trying for the achievement.

So what do you do about this?

Firstly - use single player - you can skip to the Bridge and there's no chance of griefers spoiling it for you.

Second - start on Expert - kill all the other survivors - this sounds counter-intuitive, you can leave one alive if you like - but it's probably safer to wipe them out.

Now once they're dead grab a melee weapon, and the combat shotgun, if that's not there get an assault rifle - the magnum would be good if it was there too. Also grab a pipebomb.

Now go through the saferoom door - and get the bridge going down. Once it's down, don't head down the centre as you usually do - hug the left hand edge of the bridge and run like mad - eventually you'll get infected charging you - run and shoot don't stop. The computer tends to throw a lot of infected at you near the start - doing this you'll probably bypass them.

As you get near to the bit where you climb up to the second level where the hummer and the supplies are - use your shot, grab another shot from the jeep - if there isn't one - there will be one in the lorries - keep running and shooting, when you're not shooting make sure you are loading.

As you get near the tank part - keep running, don't fight the tank, run around him. As you are about to clear the lopsided bit and make the final run for the chopper - throw your pipebomb and use the next shot - you can get specials attack you near the end or a second tank - so be on your guard, it's not easy - but that's the easiest way of doing it.
