These achievements are gained after completing each mission as you would expect. These can be done on any difficulty.

To The End
Complete the campaign.


This achievement is awarded after completing the Epilogue, when the credits start to roll.

Distinguished Service
Complete the game on Veteran difficulty.


You can go back to any previous missions and play them again on any difficulty (including Veteran).
Mission-Specific Achievements
All of these achievements can be done (and I would recommend that you do them) on the easiest difficulty: Recruit.

D-Day
One of the Lucky Few
Breach the seawall in under two minutes without taking MG fire.


This one can be tricky. Stay in cover as much as possible and try to run the smallest distance between cover. It sounds silly, but try not to run into MG fire aimed at other soldiers. The achievement will unlock after the quick-time event when the actual seawall is breached.

You can load the last checkpoint at any time from the menu to re-attempt the achievement if you take damage from the MGs.

If you are still having trouble, there are other guides available online specifically for this achievement.


Operation Cobra
Ack Ack
Protect your tanks by shooting down all planes in Operation Cobra.


This is done about halfway through the mission when you use the flak cannon to shoot down planes. This one can be tricky because there are checkpoints in the middle of the sequence, so if you miss one you have to go from the start of the mission.

I would recommend counting them as you go, keeping in mind they are generally in groups of 2 and 3. Be liberal with checkpoint loading if you are unsure whether a plane went down.

By my count, there are exactly 20 planes to shoot down.

Stronghold
Marksman
Cover Zussman from the church without missing a shot in Stronghold.


Make heavy use of Focus to ensure every shot counts. Playing this mission on an easier difficulty will let you see hit markers, which can help to ensure you haven't missed. Reload a checkpoint if you miss a shot to give this achievement another go.

Your shots do not need to kill enemies in one hit. As long as they all make contact, they will count.

S.O.E.
Sunday Driver
Complete the driving portion of S.O.E. without hitting any obstacles.


This sequence starts after opening the door in the post office. Drive as slow as you feasibly can in order to avoid obstacles, including walls. You'll get it right when Pvt. Zussman takes over driving.

There are a few checkpoints during the sequence, but you can load to an earlier one as soon as you crash if required.


Liberation
Silent Night
Sneak through the courtyard undetected in Liberation.


I didn't have too much trouble with this one. I basically stuck to the right side where I could and circled around to each objective. Again, you can load to last checkpoint if you are detected.


Collateral Damage
Gasoline Cowboy
Rescue your allies with the Sherman while keeping your armor above 80%.


This starts when you reach the field phone at the start of the mission and start playing as Perez. It can be pretty hard not to take damage, but again you should load last checkpoint when you take too much damage. I would recommend loading if you take any damage from any of the tank encounters.

If you have enough armour remaining, the achievement will unlock as Perez picks up the phone in the tank.


Death Factory
Fog of War
Sneak through the Dragon's Teeth undetected in Death Factory.


Again, not too bad considering you can just reload checkpoints if you get seen. To be clear, the "Dragon's Teeth" area starts after you escape the ambush and get up again. Taking out the dog at the start of the area doesn't count. I personally stayed to the left in the first area, and the right in the second area.

If you are still in stealth when you meet up with Turner, he will take out a nearby enemy at the same time as you. If done correctly, the achievement will unlock after you open the door to the next area.

Hill 493
Suppressive Fire!
Successfully escort the pole charge engineer to the pillbox in Hill 493.


This isn't too difficult. Open fire on the pillbox bunker until your squad calls out that they are suppressed, then tell the Private to advance with the pole charge. Repeat till he reaches the bunker.

Battle of the Bulge
Flyboy
Protect the bombers by personally shooting down 12 enemy planes.


This can be hard. There are a total of just 20 planes (8 in the first part, 12 in the second) that need to be destroyed, and your allies can sometimes be relatively efficient. They can even steal your kills.

I would recommend you shoot whenever you can, but keep your weapon overheat in mind. Keeping aimed on an enemy can help to keep them in view, but they are generally harder to hit when you do this, so it can be better to just free aim.

Ambush
Infiltrated
Reach the sniper perch without being detected in Ambush.


Again, not too difficult with the ability to reload a checkpoint if you get discovered. There are plenty of checkpoints too. Killing enemies is fine as long as it doesn't get you detected. The achievement will unlock once you've climbed up to one of the overwatch positions.

The Rhine
Defender
Protect the convoy by shooting down all the planes in The Rhine.


Similar to Ack Ack from Operation Cobra, but the planes are in larger groups and come closer together. There is a checkpoint about halfway through, so reload a checkpoint even if it's possible you missed one.

The last three that come for you can't be destroyed because they get taken out by your planes. The achievement will unlock when this happens if you didn't miss one.
Squad Ability Achievements
These abilites can be used by certain members of your squad while you are with them. The ability can be used once, then must recharge by defeating enemies. I was able to unlock almost all of these in a single playthrough, though if you are having trouble just replay a part of the campaign with the required squad member. Activating the ability, loading a save and using the ability again counts towards the progress, so it can be farmed that way.

Friend in Need
Request Zussman to toss you First Aid Kits 30 times.


I See Movement
Request Pierson to spot enemies 25 times.


Praise and Pass
Request Turner to toss you ammo 20 times.


School of Hard Knocks
Request Stiles to toss you grenades 15 times


Who needs a pendant?
Request Aiello to toss you signal smoke and call in mortar strikes 10 times

Misc. Achievements
Slow and Steady
Spend 3 minutes using Focus in the campaign.


While using a rifle, hold the button indicated to slow time and steady your aim. Focus regenerates automatically while it's not being used.

Potato Masher
Save 5 allies by throwing away a live enemy grenade.


To throw a live enemy grenade, stand over it on the ground and press the button normally used to throw your own grenades. You can generally get this by hanging around your squad throughout the campaign.

Chain Smoker
Disable 50 enemies using smoke grenades.


Easiest way to get this is throw smokes at infantry any chance you get. Especially when you are with Pvt. Stiles who can restock your grenades now and again. Enemies have a sort of staggering animation when they have been disabled.
Mementos & Heroic Actions
Locations of these will all be listed in appearance order in the following sections.

Mementos
There are three mementos available in each mission throughout the campaign.
Pieces of History
Collect all 33 mementos.


There are 3 mementos in each mission.

Heroic Actions
There is at least one Heroic Action in each mission, which can vary between saving an ally from a fight, dragging injured allies and forcing groups of enemies to surrender. They are all timed and require you to act quickly.
If your ally dies or doesn't spawn reload the checkpoint and give it another go.
Rescuer
Save 8 allies locked in struggle.


Kill an enemy before he kills one of your allies.

I've got you!
Drag 10 allies to safety.


Move an ally into cover to save them. Once you start dragging them, another icon will show, leading you to the nearest cover.

Quarter Given
Get 6 groups of enemies to surrender.


Clean up most enemies in certain areas and keep your weapon trained on remainders to get them to surrender. Even though it says 6, there are actually only 4 unique opportunities to do this, but it will unlock after those 4.

Just thought I'd add, in "Death Factory", for Heroic Action 3, you can actually get it by going on the right through that building instead. Both ways spawn a Struggle.
Arnold J. Rimmer BSc, SSc. 21 Mar @ 6:55pm 
I already figured it out. Steams COD WW2 has a single player version, & a multiplayer version - both separate "games". It's a real pity the console versions were all in one. I love finishing COD campaigns fully.
Arnold J. Rimmer BSc, SSc. 21 Mar @ 6:52pm 
Is it just me, or does the Steam version have only solo campaign achievements? I tried doing this on PS4 after the game was dead, so there were a few online ones that were not possible, & I didn't bother with the zombies ones seeing as I couldn't do the PvP ones.
gator shaman 11 Mar @ 7:25pm 
For the "Defender" achievement I highly recommend switching to a controller (if you haven't already). ensure aim-assist is on, and turn the sensitivity to maximum. I tried for hours to get that achievement with a keyboard and mouse. I got it 5 minutes after switching to a controller.
🌍『RT』 15 Feb @ 12:46pm 
Hello. Can I achieve 100% without buying the Season pass? I know it unloscks the zombie mode and a few multiplayer maps. Can you guys help me? :)
Godflay 19 Nov, 2023 @ 8:41pm 
Thanks for the guide! Flyboy is sorta easy if you've played War Thunder, but boy was the Defender achievement rough, spent almost 3 hours trying to get that one
MRTRYHARDPOTATO 13 Sep, 2023 @ 11:56am 
Thank you for the guide, (hopefully its not copied and pasted) but the free aiming tip for the "Flyboy" achievement really helped and I did it fist try when I tried after a while, I also recommend hooking up a controller if you haven't already (cause its horrible without one) and turning the sensitivity up to like 8.:broflex:

Awesome guide, congrats, you helped me 100% in no time

To those who are having trouble with the 2nd heroic action on Ambush, i had it as well.

I was able to workaround this bug by restarting the mission, and the enemy spawned at a different location, outside the red barracks to the left, next to the barrels. Try to roam a bit around the place, without killing many enemies, until it spawns to you
