Tips for getting "find all fuses in 5 minutes".

[Moogal™]

Im pretty sure i was close to 5 minutes. Must have been slightly over. Is there a trick to this? Shortcuts? Or is the achievement broken?

Use the shotgun, know the route, don't get side tracked by items. Or do if you want, the 5 min timer is a bit of a joke. You have more than enough time to pick up items like the shotgun part and still make it. If you haven't worked out the quickest pathing a video guide will suffice.

Thanks! I'll try this.

You have to collect, install and activate them in under 5 minutes. Once you activate the elevator the achievement will unlock. Like Diavolo said. Run and gun, focus on the fuses mainly. Then go back and collect the other items.

you can save the most time on 2nd fuse, R1 dodge 3 times up to the terminal to cut the animation, and R1 dodge again up to the ladder to skip the gamma coming out on the other side

you can do it in under 3 minutes, just have the launcher ready

I don't have it yet. Working on it.

Assuming you are playing on Hardcore difficulty or lower:

Memorize the layout, do a couple of tries to find the optimal route.

Ignore the pale head that falls before you take the elevator in the beginning.

Only kill the 2 cerberus dogs (Shotgun), Hunter Beta (Magnum), Zombie duo with pale head near save room (Grenade launcher). ALL other enemies can be ignored. You can also stun the zombie right after the explosion, before entering the opening.

After collecting the fuses, kill the NE-Alpha Parasites before dropping down to the fuse box area.

You can ignore every enemy except the pale heads and a couple zombies in a corridor in front of the locked door to the safe room. Use a explosive round/mine round on them.

Shotgun to horde of zombies, magnum in the head to palehead, ignore hunters (gamma or beta) and dogs. Dodge individual zombies.
