Been awhile since I posted an achievement guide (mostly because everyone has been so helpful lately), but I just got all the
Splatter achievements, so here we go (I think someone might have already posted a mini guide, but I'll try to be a little more thorough).
Nothing in common but the enemy
£0.10
The simple one. You'll come across a weapon store very early on in the game and will be given a choice to kill or allow a looter to live. Let him live and you'll get the achievement (and a friend).
A shimmer in the darkness
£0.25
Not a tough one, but a lengthy one to get. You'll need to collect all the parts to create the "golden gun", which are scattered across the different levels. The last part is on level 9, which is quite far, so this takes some time to get. There's no easy way for me to explain where each part is, but as long as you're observant and search your surroundings well you shouldn't miss any parts. They aren't that well hidden. However, a few things you should remember are, 1. Make sure you do both missions for the lady at the refugee camp, since there are gun parts in those levels, and she gives you another part once you do them both. 2. When you get to the level with acid, Max will say something about something "spilling" when he first sees the acid. There is a well hidden gun part on the bottom left area below that first pool of acid. 3. The final gun part in level 9 is straight left from where you meet the military guys, down an alley, and inside a building.
Lastly, at the end of each level the score screen will tell you if you missed a part. If you did, load an old save and do the level over again, searching better the next time.
MO-MO-MONSTERKILL!
£0.50
First off, make sure you're playing on the "harmless" difficulty. Yes, this is a tough one if you don't know where to do it. If you DO know where to do it, it's not too big of a deal. The best place (and earliest place) to get this is in level 6 "Returning across peaceful ...". Fairly early in the level, the game will autosave right before you find a rocket launcher and encounter some spiders. If you go straight up from there, you'll come across a cave (you'll know you're there when Max will make a comment about hating spiders). Make sure you conserve machine gun ammo for this part (200 or so will do), because at this point you want to run into the cave holding down that trigger. There are a LOT of spiders in this little cave, so just keep shooting and stringing kills together, moving further into the cave as you go. At the back of the cave are egg pods that will release even more spiders when you shoot them, prolonging your combo meter even further. Getting the 20x multiplier really isn't hard here, and if you fail, just reload back to the autosave I mentioned and try again.
Also, remember to use the machine gun. Other heavy weapons have too much of a delay between shots to keep the combo going easily at high levels, and even the upgraded fast firing shotgun is temperamental about keeping your streak going above 10x for some reason. The machine gun doesn't require reloading and is hands down the best gun for getting a high multiplier.
If you can't get the 20x multiplier here for some reason, you may have better luck getting it once you get the lawn mower, and just plowing through the hordes of enemies to come while shooting all the while. I'm sure it's fairly easy to get in that section as well.
As for the game, loving it! I wasn't expecting much, and while the narrative and story are silly, the game is really well put together and FUN. One of the best top down shooters I've played in a very long time. Not to mention the graphics are gorgeous for a game of this genre... besides the character animations up close.
I give it 4 out of 5 oozing piles of gore!
, I already have $32 worth of rewards to do and they just keep coming.
