Max level in this game is 25. Grind Operations, ideally on Ruthless difficulty for the most XP. This achievement is a bit of a grind but can be obtained alongside "Strongest Shot" and "Sharpest Edge."

Picture

№
Picture
Achievement
Description
29.
Guardian's Might
As a Bulwark, kill 100 enemies with every available Melee Weapon

  • Power Sword
  • Power Fist
  • Chainsword
💀 Lightning Strike
№
Picture
Achievement
Description
30.
Lightning Strike
As a Vanguard, perform 100 Gun Strikes

The way I found easiest to perform Gun Strikes was using a low level melee on the high difficulties. Hitting lower tier Tyranids 2-3 times will allow you to Gun Strike them. For larger Tyranids, when they're executable meleeing them 1-2 times will allow you to perform a Gun Strike execution.
💀 Unhand My Brother!
№
Picture
Achievement
Description
31.
Unhand My Brother!
Force a Ravener to release a grabbed Squad Member

This achievement requires a bit of a luck, a friend, or a teammate who doesn't know how to dodge a Ravener. The Ravener is the snake like Tyranid that slithers around both above and underground. When the Ravener burrows under ground, it has a chance to do an attack where it resurfaces and grabs a player. When this happens, empty your weapon into the Ravener and the achievement should unlock.
💀 Xenos Exterminator
№
Picture
Achievement
Description
29.

Just as the achievement says. Operation: Burnout has the most Tyranids. I was able to kill just about 400 in one mission.
💀 The Thousand Dead Sons

Glorious Victory
Win any match in Eternal War mode

Simply win a game.

💀 Tactical Genius
№
Picture
Achievement
Description
35.
Tactical Genius
Win a match in Eternal War mode with every Class

To get every Eternal War achievement, you need to play 30 matches (10 in each mode). You only need to win 6 of the 30 games, once you win a match on one class switch to another. This achievement should be easily achievable with a decent set of teammates.


Tactical: Generalist soldier that can wield all sorts of weapons.
Assault: Melee-focused class with a Jump Pack for aerial manoeuvres.
Vanguard: Close-range specialist that can grapple towards enemies.
Bulwark: Defensive support class that carries a shield.
Sniper: Long-range specialist that can go invisible.
Heavy: Hulking heavy weapons specialist.
💀 War Machine
№

Achievement
Description

War Machine
Play 10 Annihilation matches in Eternal War mode

Just as the achievement says. For the quickest experience, hope either your team stomps or gets stomped. Wins do not matter for this achievement.
💀 Unwavering Faith

💀 Merciless

Achievement
Description
39.
Mericless
Achieve a streak of 5 kills without dying in Eternal War mode

For this achievement, the player needs to earn a 5 kill streak. Personally, I found using the Sniper class the easiest for this. The snipers high damage + the invisibility every 15 seconds makes it a breeze. The heavy with Iron Dome also looks like a solid choice, it just leaves you more vulnerable.
💀 Purge Them All
№
Picture
Achievement
Description
40.
Purge Them All
Mark every enemy type

There are a total of 23 enemies that need to be marked.

  • Ravaner (Campaign Mission 2+)
  • Lictor (Campaign Mission 2+)
  • Zoanthrope (Campaign Mission 2+)
  • Warrior with Lash Whip (Campaign Mission 2+)
  • Warrior with Bone Sword (Campaign Mission 1+)
  • Warrior with Venom Cannon (Campaign Mission 1+)
  • Warrior with Barbed Strangler (Campaign Mission 3+)
  • Warrior with Devourer (Campaign Mission 2+)
  • Neurothrope (Campaign Mission 4)
  • Carnifex (Campaign Mission 3/4)
  • Hive Tyrant (Operation: Decapitation)

    CAN'T BE TAGGED: Spore Mines, Gargoyles, Ripper Swarms

Chaos

  • Imurah (Campaign Mission 5/7)
  • Hellbrute (Campaign Mission 6/7)
  • Helldrake (Operation: Reliquary)

    CAN'T BE TAGGED: Daemonhost, Daemon.

Note: This achievement can be a bit wonky. Imurah may need to be scanned twice, once in Operation Voidsong and once in Operation Dawn's Descent. Personally, my Carnifex scan only counted in the Campaign and was my last scan. You may also need to scan a Hormgaunt with Adrenal Glands, it's a Hormgaunt with glowing red eyes.

@Orlex

Thanks for the information! I'll update the guide to reflect that.
Orlex 22 Sep, 2024 @ 7:41am 
A very comprehensive guide. Though I have a correction for the immovable object achievement: you don't have to use the heavy's ability to complete it, you just have to kill enemies while aiming with your primary weapon.
