[OUTDATED] An easy way to get Knockout!, Are You Kidding Me? and Black Knight achivements

Hello,

Achievement hunter ??? You are at the right place !

Just a short guide to help you get Knockout!, Are You Kidding Me? and Black Knight achievements (this one will be harder as you will specifically need a black dozer).

Introduction

14.11.2015: I completely rewrote the guide because it was outdated with the weapon rebalance of Crimefest 2015. I tried my best to make it as easy as possible.

This guide will show you an easy way to get all three achievements without needing a special HUD or a lot of skill points. The only DLC that you need is the Gage Sniper Pack and the Gage Chivalry Pack (only for the Black Knight achievement) .

You will need to be level 60 (no infamy bonuses are needed) to replicate the minimum build I will show you later.

This guide will simply show you a way to lower the dozer's health from 5500 to 161 health points in 4 shots for an easy melee strike finish (with boxing gloves, any knife or the great sword). This can't be done on Death Wish (as dozers have more health points).

I will tell you all the skills you need and the ones you really need to avoid. Weapons and which mods to use on it will be described. Finally a step by step walk-through with videos will help you to get those achievements.

Skill you really need (VERY IMPORTANT)

What are the skills you really need ? It's only the most IMORTANT skills here, the rest is up to you !

MasterMind:
- Spotter basic (we need that damage boost)

Enforcer:
- Pumping Iron aced (we need that damage boost)

Technician:
- Nothing

Ghost:
- Silent killer aced (we need that damage boost)
- ECM Feedback basic or aced (we don't want that dozer to kick our ass)

Fugitive:
- Nothing

The minimal build that can be done at level 60 without any infamy: http://pd2skills.com/#/v3/mheGDa:eGDa:gRplMhIjEgCDa:pG8::l60::a3

ANd here you will see the "can't fail" version: http://pd2skills.com/#/v3/mhIGcDa:eIGDa:gRplMhIEgCDa:fKeGBCDa:ibcdea:::

Skills you REALLY WANT TO AVOID

MasterMind:
- Joker (well, you don't want a converted cop to kill your dozer, don't you ?)

Enforcer:
- Underdog (as you can't really know when the damage bonus applies, AVOID THIS SKILL).

Technician:
- Nothing

Ghost:
- Nothing

Fugitive:
- Nothing

Perk deck

You can use any perk deck you are comfortable with. The ONLY VERY IMPORTANT THING is to use a perk deck where FAST AND FURIOUS is unlocked, as we need the extra 5% damage bonus.



I use the grinder perk deck in the video.

Weapons

Ok, so I completely simplified this part as some people had troubles with it.

Primary:
- Buy a Thanatos .50 cal sniper rifle and simply put a Suppressed Barrel on it.


Secondary:
- Buy a new Bronco .44 revolver and don't add any mod to it.


Melee:
-Punching Gloves.




- Any knife that you like or own.



- The Great Sword.

How to do it :)

So now that you are ready with all the right skills and fine tuned weapons, we can start to try to get those achievements.

- If you want to do Knockout! or Are You Kidding Me? achievements, simply buy the Meltdown contract (from Vlad) on normal and search for the bulldozer in one of the containers (the faster you find it, the easier it will be as Murky's won't harass you).

- For the Black Knight achievement, buy any contract on normal, hard, very hard or Overkill (Overkill is better as dozers will spawn faster).

- If you play alone or with friends, AVOID THE BOTS as they can kill your dozer just before you do it. Your friends shouldn't convert ennemies as well, the converted cop could kill your dozer and ruin all your efforts. Tell your friends not to shoot the bulldozer.

- Start the heist and just do it loud (yeah stealth is not recommended as we want some big bad bulldozers to spawn :P ).

- When you see a bulldozer, SPOT him, put your ECM down and ACTIVATE the feedback.

- Now the IMPORTANT part, shoot ONE bullets of your silenced Thanatos IN THE BODY of the dozer (NO HEADSHOTS).

- Switch to the Bronco revolver and shoot the dozer THREE TIMES IN THE BODY (NO HEADSHOT).

- If you have all the DLCs I introduced before, the right skills and the damage boost from your perk deck, the Dozer now only has 161 health points.

- Run to the dozer and punch him or stab him 3 or 4 times.

- Congratulations, now you should see this small icon popping up on the top left of your screen because you just completed the achievement you were looking for :)

I already had the achivement, that's why nothing pops up on the top left

I hope this guide will help you to get those achivements.

Have fun :)

@heh, you are welcome. I'm quite happy to see that people are still using my guide!

[Fondriest]

Thanks so much! It helped me a lot :D

[Marshall]

thanks a lot dude !

@Judge Mandalore Shepard: Thank you very much for your comment, it's really appreciated. If some people would just look at the video and see how easy it is, more would have the achievements !!!

[Red Supernova]

When I first read this, I thought to myself "No, this is waaaay too simple! Surely this can't be that easy, can it?" I tried it out, and when I was done, I was like "....wait, is that it?" I admit, I am truly shocked at how well this worked! You, sir, are a genius!

oh... welp, dozers do spawn in the vault thou LOL anyway already got these achiemvents, thanks your guide! +rateup

[LighTs_aRe_danCinG_iN_thE_skY]

@☿ Déarg Price ☿: On meltdown, the dozer is never inside the vault that you need to open by overheating. This is a copy-paste from the Long Guide (a very good if not the best reference about the game):
- There are 13 containers. 6 are inside the warehouse. 7 are outside east of the warehouse.
- There is a Bulldozer in one of these containers.
- 1 crate with gold in the Bulldozer container.
You should just have a look at my video (it's only 1min 10secs and can be found in the guide).
Both heists are good places to do the achievements and in the end, the only important thing is to get those achievements!

Dozer didn't spawn everytime for me.... in meltdown i mean. Did 10 times vh, 10 times ovk 5 times dw only 2 on vh, 4 on ovk and 5 on dw. Btw, slaughterhouse is faster considering u need to wait for vault to overheat or expect ur luck for an assault one... either way tooks over 2:30 mins, slaughterhouse if known well map and whatnot , using ur build i can get to car under 1:10 and get it open by 1:40

[LighTs_aRe_danCinG_iN_thE_skY]

@anarchy blues, won't be a problem. Damage will be reduced by 15 on the bronco, so you will need to 4 shot instead of 3 and the dozer could even have something like 50-100 HP. Can't wait to do see !
