Fracture has very simple 700 points to collect. You could easily rack them up in a day just playing on Casual (easy) difficulty as the game is relatively short and linear. The rest are dedicated to playing it on Hardcore and online multiplayer. The multiplayers can be boosted with a friend but they are very time consuming.

 

There are accumulative weapon achievements but nothing over 50 and they can also be unlocked at a "Weapons Testing Ground"  You will need to collect "Data Cells" to unlock all the weapons in the testing ground, but they are not difficult to find. I have provided a guide where to find them if you need one.

 

The last boss can be a pain, but there is a glitch you can use to defeat him easily without him ever touching you and you never run out of ammo. Even on Hardcore!

 

 

ACHIEVEMENT GUIDE

 

Complete Act 1 - 25 points

Complete Act 1.

 

If you want to do this easy, simply complete these on Casual. There are only 10 levels over three acts, so it is relatively short. The missions are very linear and there are a ton of checkpoints, so dying isn't a major problem. Read below if you want to know how to defeat the last boss easy, even on Hardcore.

 

**SPOILER ALERT**

 

The last boss (Sheridan) is annoying because there are "crawlers", huge crab-like creatures thrown into the equation. But there is a trick, where there is a sweet spot and the crawlers and the boss can't touch you at all, and you never run out of ammo.

 

You will have to do this quickly or the boss will move to position and attack you. As soon as you enter the arena, sprint to the ammo crate on your left. Tap RB only once to raise the terrain underneath the ammo crate, (anymore will slow you down) and jump up on TOP of the crate.  The boss should be a distance away. If he is really close (like almost on top of you) then you have been too slow. Reload and start again if this is the case.

 

Once you are on top of the crate, shoot the glowing parts on him and ALL the tower spikes around (about 5 of them) to reduce his health. The boss should be stomping the ground and the crawlers not spawning near you. Do not leave the crate and continue reloading and shooting. As you are on top of the crate, you will never run out of ammo. I finished him off in about five minutes with this method.

Von Helsing - 25 points

Crush an enemy to death with a spike.

You will need to throw a Spike Grenade beneath an enemy and it raises them to smash against a roof. Best spot I found was once you receive your first suit upgrade, you will jump up onto a platform where there will be a lot of enemies and a low roof.

 

Open Sesame - 25 points

Successfully open a physics or hinged gate for the first time in single player.

Story related. Can't miss this as you will get it during the tutorial.

Zapp! - 25 points

Successfully block (or unblock) an energy beam for the first time in single player.

 

Story related. Can't miss this as you will get it in the third act, when you need to lower and raise some energy beams as an objective.

 

Clap On/Clap Off - 25 points

Successfully used a TD switch for the first time in single player.

Story related. Can't miss this as you will get this in the first act. TD is Terrain Deformation. A TD switch is  an external switch on pillars that raise or lower the ground. Funnily enough I managed to unlock this while crossing a bridge, so go figure?

 

Combat Engineer - 25 points

Successfully raise/lower a bridge for the first time in single player.

 

Story related. Can't miss this as you will get it the first act when you use a spike grenade to lift a bridge.

 

Han Shoots First - 25 points

Kill an enemy by using TD and forcing them into the beam in single player.

Easily done in the third act. You will need to lower or raise some energy beams as an objective. Just knock any enemy using TD into the red or blue energy beams.

 

Use the Force … Field - 25 points

Kill someone by forcing them into a shield.

Just knock an enemy using TD into those orange force fields that appear in front of large gateways or entrances.

 

Collect a Data Cell - 5 points

Collect a data cell.

LOOK BELOW at end tab for a guide. Collecting data cells will unlock weapons at the Weapons Testing Ground. Don't worry if you miss a few, as you can use Mission Select to find the data cells you missed. It lists how many are left in each mission. The game automatically saves after you have picked up a cell, so there is no need to complete entire levels.

 

Collect 35 Data Cells - 35 points

Collect 35 data cells.

See "Collect a Data Cell" achievement above.

 

Collect all 100 Data Cells - 60 points

Collect all 100 data cells.

See "Collect a Data Cell" achievement above.

 

Deathrace 2161 - 15 points

Cumulative 25 kills running over enemies with the TDV-1.

This is easily done Recon Mission, Act 2. You will get a TDV vehicle. Just run over enemies and if you don't get it, just replay the mission. You can also get this achievement in the Weapons Testing Ground if you have unlocked it by the end of the mission or campaign. But you will need to collect data cells for it to be available.

 

Dragon’s Breath Specialist - 15 points

Cumulative 25 kills with the Dragon’s Breath.

The Dragon's Breath is the gun turret you sit in. There are quite a few in the story so getting 25 kills is not difficult. You can also get this achievement in the Weapons Testing Ground if you have unlocked it by the end of the campaign. But you will need to collect data cells for it to be available.

 

 

Mole Mine Specialist - 15 points

Cumulative 25 kills with Mole Mines.

All these weapon achievements are not difficult to get during the campaign. But some weapons don't last long. My suggestion is to collect ALL Data Cells and if you haven't unlocked some weapon achievements by the end of the campaign, then go to the Weapons Testing Ground and unlock them there.

 

 

WEAPONS TESTING GROUND

 

 

This level is available at the bottom of the start menu. Best to collect ALL Data Cells first to unlock ALL weapons, including the TDV vehicle and Dragons Breath turret gun. You will need to stand on the RED circle to summon enemies.

 

To have access to the Mole Mine, Rhino, Catapult (IFR -19) and ALM -37 Deep Freeze weapons, you will need to lower the orange force field at the rear of the ground. To do this, you need to destroy the two generators beside it powering the force field.

 

First step on the Dark Blue Circle , this will drop crates and containers into the Light Blue Circle. Then step on the Yellow Circle and this will suck the crates and containers into a big cannon in the middle of the testing ground. Use Terrain Deformation (TD) to angle the cannon towards one of the generators. It doesn't have to be precise as the cannon fires quite wide. Then step on the Green Circle to fire the cannon. Do the same for the next generator.

 

Once the shield is down, those weapons will be available at the back.

 

Rhino Specialist - 15 points

Cumulative 25 kills with the Rhino.

See "Mole Mine Specialist" achievement above.

Dead Aim - 15 points

Accumulate 25 headshots kills.

The easiest gun I found for head shots is the Raptor. In the 1st Act after you destroy some AA guns, there will be Dragons Breath (mounted turret gun) where the enemies continually re-spawn. Just TD a mound and take 25 head shots while they mount the gun. Easy targets.

 

Pugilist - 15 points

Melee kill 10 enemies in a row.

Very easily done on the very first mission inside the prison. You will need to do 10 in a row, so just don't shoot anything.

 

What Goes Up - 25 points

Kill 5 Hydras while they’re in mid-air.

 

Hydra's are the ones with rockets and keep leaping around. This seemed difficult at first as they are quick in the air. But somehow I shot them just as they lifted up or almost landed.

You first encounter one in Level 4, Act 1. Just throw it in the middle of the first group. If you miss, just reload the checkpoint.
