In part 2 of Dark Carnival you'll come across a well-lit shooting range with carnival mascot Moustachio emblazoned on it. Also note the yard gnome in the box -- your prize for getting 750 points. Get this high score by activating the game (via the red button) and shooting everyone but the blue peanut (you'll lose points if you hit this target!). Hit the yellow and green Moustachio target for extra points. The gnome (which you may recognize from Half-Life 2 Episode 2) will be released if you get a high score and so will scores of infected, so beware!.

Carry the gnome all the way to the end of the scenario (board the chopper) to unlock the Guardin' Gnome Achievement. You can drop Gnome Chompsky and pick it back up. You can also drop it in a safe room and it will be there after the break. Finally, you can use the gnome to repel zombies as you would with a weapon.

In part 4 of Dark Carnival, look for well-lit Whac-A-Mole-like arcade game near the start. Activate the button on the front of it and attack the Moustachios that pop up with a melee weapon. At a score of 46, the game will break -- you may need to continue a few times. When it breaks, you'll get the Stache Wacker Achievement (be "faster than Moustachio"). Also, the game will attract zombies.

In part 4 of Dark Carnival, look for a strength-testing game in the first area after exiting the safe room. Inject some adrenaline and nail the red button with a melee weapon to get the Gong Show Achievement (be "stronger than Moustachio"). Note: Will summon infected!

You can do this on Easy and Normal with a shotgun. Only the final shot matters, so this may take a few tries if everyone is firing. Two seconds is a long time in a zombie apocalypse

After playing for a bit you'll be able to recognize the telltale gurgle of the Spitter and you'll be able catch them before they spit. Luckily, the Spitter has little health, so you can shoot her with an automatic weapon -- a laser site will help you hit her. The Grenade Launcher is another good option.

The incendiary and explosive rounds can be found in any level. You can carry them in your health/defibrillator slot and "deploy" them on the ground. The team will then grab ammo from the little pile and you'll get an Achievement.

This one can only be done on Dark Carnival. On harder difficulties, the uncommon infected "Clown" (a zombie dressed as a Clown) occasionally leads a pack of infected your way. Toss a Molotov its way when it shows up. When a Clown appears, your teammates will usually offer some commentary about "shutting it up."

The CEDA agents are the uncommon infected types in big, yellow hazmat suits. When they die, they sometimes leave Boomer vomit vials behind. Grab ten of these for the Achievement.

The Boomer vomit vile attracts zombies to whatever you toss it at. The Tank is a big target, so hitting it shouldn't be a problem as it charges you.

The machete and katana blade are ideal for zombie decapitation. Aim high!

The incendiary rounds can be found in any level. You can carry them in your health/defibrillator slot and "deploy" them on the ground. Grab some of the ammo stash once its deployed and fire at zombies to work your way towards this Achievement. The ammo only fills a single clip on your secondary weapon slot (no handguns). The automatic rifles have large clip sizes and are ideal choices for incendiary rounds since you'll get more bullets to use.

This one should be fairly easy since the chainsaw cuts through zombies like undead butter.

You must kill one common infected zombie with each of the following weapons. Some melee weapons can only be found in certain scenarios, so here's a list of the weapons and a scenario you can find them in. Many of these can be found in the other scenarios as well.
Crow bar - Dead Center
Night stick - The Parish
Fire axe - Dead Center
Katana - Dark Carnival
Machete - The Parish
Frying Pan - The Parish
Guitar - Dark Carnival
Cricket paddle - Dead Center
Note: that the Chainsaw does not count for this Achievement -- but it is a melee weapon.

This one can only be done on Dark Carnival, where the uncommon infected Clown appears occasionally. Use the repelling thrust of your gun (not a melee weapon) to honk a Clown's nose. You can do this repeatedly on one Clown and you don't necessarily need to hit the Clown's face. When a Clown appears, your teammates will usually offer some commentary about "shutting it up."

The uncommon infected are those infected in recognizably different costumes. You can find these infected in the following scenarios:
CEDA Agents (hazmat suits) - The Parish, Dead Center
Clowns (dressed as Clowns) - Dark Carnival
Worker Infected (construction workers in neon vests) - Hard Rain
Swampy Mudmen (submarine traveling Mudmen) - Swamp Fever
Note: that the armored Riot Guard is NOT an uncommon infected.

A neat trick you can use for this one is to nail a zombie with vile of Boomer vomit during a hoard attack, thus attracting the hoard to one spot for a bit. Hit the zombie dogpile with the grenade launcher to score the Achievement.

In Swamp Fever, the Mudmen crawl quickly towards the survivors under the waist-deep waters of the swamp. You can hit them with any weapon, but it will take a quick trigger finger to catch them before they catch you.

You may need to cooperate with friends to get this, since a single bullet will ruin your chances of getting this one. That said, on Easy, a Chainsaw can take out a Tank in a matter of seconds, but you'll need to catch it in the asphalt-throwing animation or else it will knock you away quickly.

On Easy you'll be able to kill a weakend Charger as it charges without too much hassle. To kill the Charger in the brief period in which it passes you in a charge or before it hits you it will need to have taken damage from fire or attacks from your team. This one is more chance based than anything else -- just keep swinging at chargers!

The defibrillator can be found in any level. It can be carried in lieu of a first aid kit, so it's not strategically a good idea to run around with one. Once a survivor is down, approach his or her body with the defib out and begin reviving.

Adrenaline shots can be found on any level. Use an adrenaline shot then quickly revive a teammate 10 times for this Achievement. You can do this in certain safehouses in single player. Find a safehouse, like the first one in the Parish at the end of Act 1, and shoot your teammates until they are incapacitated. Use a shot, then quickly revive all three of them. Grab another shot and repeat this process a few times to get the Achievement.

Note: Must start at beginning of each act to get achievement.

You can't fire a single shot before, during or after grabbing a melee weapon. It may be advantageous to do this on a campaign with melee weapons at the very start, like Hard Rain campaign.

In Act 2 of Swamp Fever, a downed airliner blocks your path in the swamp. Climb through the door and open the hatch and a "crescendo event" will occur. To the immediate left as you exit the door onto the plane wing is a tree pointing up and a 45 degree angle alongside the plane. Hop on this tree and run up to the tip of it. Up here you cannot be harmed by a zombie! Stay there as a steady stream of zombies attacks the other survivors below. Do this on Easy and you should be able to pick off each zombie as it approaches or climbs onto the wing without any trouble. Save a pipe bomb for the occasion to make things easier.

In Act 4 of The Parish you'll exit a sewer and appear under a highway overpass. Here is a field of cars with alarms. Equip a melee weapon and carefully navigate the area without firing or bumping into cars with lights flashing in them. You will need to climb on top of certain cars to proceed -- just make sure they don't have a flashing light in their cab. Zombies cannot trip the alarms. A car will give a two beep warning if you near it, but the alarm won't sound. You won't receive the Achievement until you reach the saferoom.

On Easy there are fewer witches but you should still encounter five or six in the maze-like passages of the sugar mill. Use only a melee weapon and listen closely for the wandering witches. Keep your light off and give the witches a wide berth. if playing with computer-controlled survivors, ditch them and run far ahead to make sure they don't startle any witches. The sugar cane field is the toughest part of this run, since there's bound to be a witch wander it. Move slowly and listen for her cries to gauge her distance. If you see her, take the opposite side of the field. Use the gas station sign to navigate towards it. You'll most likely find the path down the middle of the field. You'll get the Achievement once you arrive safely in the saferoom inside the gas station and close the door.

Getting this Achievement with computer controlled allies is quite difficult -- nearly impossible, really -- since the other survivors will tend get stuck far behind, thus eliminating your chances for a quick escape on the helicopter (it will need to depart within the 3:00 time limit). One way to ensure they don't hold you back is to pause the game and call a vote to change the difficulty to Expert once you are on the chopper. As long as you don't face any threats directly while on the chopper, they should die quickly allowing you to complete the level solo. This doesn't work out so well in practice, since it's likely a Tank or Charger will show up in the helicopter to ruin your speed run. Basically you may need to do this with friends!
The best equipment to take on this run includes a pipe bomb, adrenaline shot, chainsaw and assault rifle. Use the adrenaline in the beginning and stick to the right side shoving and shooting zombies. Climb the ladder on the tanker truck and hop across the truck tops, crossing the gap tot he left. When you see the ramp leading up to the upper level, take it and grab the adrenaline shot on the left at the top. Drop down on the left side and use the adrenaline and race past the tank near the end. Toss the pipe bomb far ahead to attract a large group of zombies heading your way at the end of the bridge. Exit the bridge to the right and weave through the series of gates to get to the helicopter on the water.
Congratulations, you made it to the copter in under 3:00! The other survivors must die or make it to the helicopter to satisfy the Achievement, though. D'oh!

Hint: Have a friend to help you with these, they are simple to do with a partner!
