Secret Service: Ultimate Sacrifice Achievement Guide

Time To 1k - 10-15 Hours
Ease Of Game - 5/10 (Manageable, patience required)
Number Of Playthroughs Required - 2 (it can be done in one, but it will be VERY hard to get certain achievements without voiding other ones)
Total Number Of People Needed To Boost Online Achievements - no online achievements

Don’t Tase Me Bro (10g) - Electrocute 35 enemies using the Stun Gun or Taser
See Like Static With Unconsciousness achievement for more information

Cowboy (10g) - Accumulate 30 kills using pistols in any level
Start a new game on Recruit difficulty, then play the first level using the pistol as much as possible on enemies until this unlocks

Soft Spot (30g) - Accumulate 50 headshots throughout the entire game
Kill 50 enemies by headshots. This game has a very broad aiming range so most shots you take in the vicinity of an enemy's head will register as a headshot

Gives Instead Of Takes Bullets (50g) - Complete the game without dying on Agent or POTUS Detail difficulty
Start a new game on Agent difficulty and complete it without dying. This game is much easier when compared to most first person shooters, so this is relatively easy to do as long as you take your time going through levels and do not run-n-gun through them. You will want to also get the "What Are You, A Cat?" achievement in this playthrough as well.

Notes: If you die quickly exit to the 360 dashboard and the death won't count when you reload your game. If you die and see the Restart Level screen this will void the achievement, exiting to the dashboard is the ONLY way for your deaths not to count

*In firefights, always get behind cover and use the Lean Button to pop out and fire off a quick shot. Never be out in the open for more than a second or two

*Time your jumps around trip wires very carefully

*When hacking bombs, make sure all the power pieces are turned so they won't activate weak circuits

POTUS Secured (50g) - Complete the game on any difficulty setting
See Yeah I'm Pretty Awesome achievement for more information

Yeah, I'm Pretty Awesome (100g) - Complete the game on the POTUS Detail difficulty setting
This stacks with the "POTUS Secured" achievement. It's best to do your first playthrough on POTUS Detail difficulty to avoid an extra playthrough. See "Gives Instead Of Takes Bullets" achievement for tips on staying alive on harder difficulties.

Loves Fire, Hates Red Containers (10g) - Blow up 10 fire extinguishers
There are fire extinguishers hanging all over walls in the game. Simply shoot ten with a gun for the achievement

No Body Cares (10g) - Destroy 20 busts in Capitol Building levels (Coup D'etat and Filibuster)
During the levels Coup D'etat and Filibuster, you will see statues of heads and shoulders (a/k/a/ busts) everywhere. Shoot twenty of them to unlock the achievement. You don't have to completely destroy them, one bullet is all it takes to get credit for destruction

Just Like The Real Thing (15g) - Win 30 hacking minigames
See Master Of Spin achievement for more information

What Are You, A Cat? (50g) - Complete the entire game without ever using nightvision (excluding while gunning in Marine One)
To unlock this, you can never activate night vision goggles in the game. This means it will make it much harder to see trip wires during levels of the game, but as long as you take your time while progressing through a level you will be able to spot them easily.

Notes: The following levels have trip wires: Urban Legend, Collateral Damage, and Rogue Agent

*On these levels, study every hallways thoroughly for trip wires before walking down them. A way to make this easier is go into game options and turn Brightness all the way up, you will be able to see them much easier now.

*It's best to do this achievement on a second playthrough after you've done the "Yeah I'm Pretty Awesome" run. You'll have an advantage, as you will know where trip wires are already.

Like Static With Unconciousness (20g) - Zap 75 enemies with the Stun Gun or Taser
You will unlock this by the time you finish the Habeas Corpus level since all you can use is the Taser to attack your enemies. The Taser has an incredibly long distance when fired and is a one hit knock out. You will also unlock the "Don't Tase Me Bro" achievement while doing this

They Shouldn't Have Bunched Up (20g) - Kill 30 enemies using hand grenades and/or the RPG
Start a new game and do Mission Select to the Last Stand Level. During the parts where you're on the roof firing at enemies below, throw grenades into the areas with the most people. After thirty kills this way, the achievement will pop

The Memory Of A Goldfish (15g) - Kill 1 enemy using the tripwire laser bombs that were set by the Sentavans
Start a new game and do Mission Select to the Urban Legend level. In the first dark hallway with the trip wires you will enter into a shootout with the Sentavans (the terrorists). Shoot one trip wire while an enemy is close by, the ensuing explosion will earn you the achievement

Turns Out They Don't Hail A Cab (15g) - Initiate the explosion of 5 tripwire laser bombs by crossing their lasers
Start a new game and do Mission Select to the Urban Legend level. Simply walk into five trip wires to unlock the achievement.

Note: Since you will die each time, do not go for this achievement when you're going for the "Gives Instead Of Takes Bullets" achievement

Too Lazy To Jump And Crouch (15g) - Blow up all tripwire laser bombs in the Rogue Agent level
To blow up the bombs, shoot the little metal things on the wall as seen in the achievement picture. Make sure that you're a good distance away because the explosion can kill you. The trip wires are all straightforward as you progress through the level, there are no hidden or out of the way ones to worry about.

Note: If you are too close to a trip wire bomb, the explosion will kill you. In the case do not go for this achievement when you're going for the "Gives Instead Of Takes Bullets" achievement

Keep running around this area until you get five or more following you and bunched up around the door.

Throw a grenade right into the middle of this group. This can be tricky due to the game's poor grenade physics and might take you a few tries. What I did was stood behind a column, threw the grenade at the door, and it would bounce off just enough to explode all kill all five
