[AsbestosIsPoison]

okay so I have nearly all achivements on left 4 dead 2 but theres this one achivement I nee help with, LEVEL A CHARGE. all you need to do is kill a charger with a melee weapon while it is charging (doing its special attack), I need some help with it so im asking yall now to help a man is desperate need.

I can also help you with any achivements if you help me with mine

The way i did it was have my friend take most of his health off then used the axe to deal the final blow while he is charging.

I had a hard time getting it at first. Imo It's just one of them things that you have to time it right.

so I have to go into versus and do it?

No you can do it in regular campaign.

First off, Chargers generally have more health than a melee swing can take off. You'll have to deal some damage to them before you take the melee swing.

Second. The Charger's hitbox is actually ahead of its visual model when charging, so you have to swing a little earlier than it looks like. It will take some time, trial and error, but it's very doable.

For practice purposes; use the fireaxe and position yourself lefthandside of the chargedirection and swing with your aim at 1-2 o´clock/30-45degrees ish as he gets close. This gets easy as you pratice, just do a quick sidestep in the right direction. (prepare to fail or get stuck/hit collision every so often)
Axe have the most hit-rays and it swings horistontal wich makes it much more predictable than other meleeweaps. It swings from right to left, this is why the "easy" side to hit from is lefthandside

edit; no need to go into vs. just practice it till you get it. its one of those things you want not only for the cheevo, but more so because its a great move to perform ingame

In campaign the ai chargers take reduced damage, you will have to weaken them first. I used to shoot them 5 times with a sniper rifle before i could level them.

Much easier option is do it in versus.
All (player)SI take % based damage from melee. Head shot is 100% but not many people can hit the head easily.
Big arm and body takes 75% damage so the best way to lvl a charger is take off 25+% of it health(1 good shotgun blast should do), then wait for it to charge, you can step to the left and swing at the arm when it goes past, or if you're feeling confident you can run straight at it and swing.

all true about the dmg-numbers.

just not considering the reaction from other players if an unexperienced cheevo-hunter joins a match to practice lvl a charge

that would be bloody ;)

could install mods for vs and play vs bots, but if mods is the route then theres better options

The easiest, simplest way to get this achievement - is just play versus. Level a charger with the fire axe when he's coming towards you. Period.

I tried various ways to obtain this while playing campaign. Using the chainsaw, chipping the AI charger's health before levelling, firing up rayman mutation and enlisting the help of friends etc. to no avail. One year later after I began playing versus, I got the achievement in a match with a fire axe when I least one expect to. Just use the fire axe a lot and aim to melee kill the charger.

Yes. It isn't that complicated. And once you've levelled your first human charger, you'll probably want to continue playing versus. ^^ just so you can level more chargers ad infinitum. Gg

[JAiZ]

the easiest way of doing this, is to get the admin mod from the workshop, host a local server, give yourself a melee weapon, and spawn a charger.
Dodge it's first charge, and chip it till it's near about half health (usually 5 m16 bullets should be enough though), wait for it to charge a second time and then side-step, and kill it with a melee swing.

Levelling a charge doesn't require it to be a full-on level, it can be a chip-level as well (levelling a damaged charger)

Play Versus with a friend and choose the last level of The Sacrifice campaign. Go near the bridge (middle generator) and special infected will stop spawning, so they won't bother you anymore. Also, kill bots so they won't bother you, too. Wait until your friend is charger.

Shoot him a bit to make his health low, below 200 HP for example. Your friend should charge in a predictable line, so you can position yourself near that line. When he runs near you, swing with melee and kill him. If you miss, let him charge again and try again.

It needs a bit of practicing to melee him, but it's actually not that hard once you understand how to do it. Hope this helps.

And you earned achievement
If you can add me i can help you

[xSwindLer_♤]

I get this achievement in singleplayer

[BubblestationCPH]

Srsly.. I urge you to just practice it during real game play under what you find normal circumstances. Being able to lvl a charger ingame is so good
