Foreign Legionaire - Beat the Village in the Extreme difficulty.
Extreme Difficulty is unlocked upon beating Hangar. Lets start by saying the A.I. is idiotic. If wave 1 only has suicide bombers, take them out and move to wave 2. Kill all opponents except for a solitary machinegunner. He'll move to a spot where he can shoot the village, great. Move yourself around until you're in a position where he's shooting at you, but his bullets are blocked by a building or fence so he can't hit you. Wait until time runs out and the achievement is yours.

Damage Control | Handyman - Win a game with all civilians alive & repair the house 5 times.
Finish The Village (on Easy helps) without losing any civilians. For them to die, the house will need to take too much damage. If you let a solitary demoman near the house to cause some damage, then collect the repair kit, you'll have both of these in the same game. Once Handyman pops, naturally you can stop repairing and kill anyone else before they get close to the house.

Blood Hunger | Time Traveller - Make a chain kill of 10 kills, finish a map in 7 minutes.
Easy to do on Village, grab a FAMAS or other gun upgrade, and stock up with ammo. Stand where the ammo drop lands, and shoot as many people from a distance as you can. You should make the 7 minute mark with little trouble on Easy. You will get 10 chain kills on the last round easily if not before. Thanks to the latest patch, there is about 5 seconds in between each kill to keep the chain going.

War Hero - Finish the campaign on any difficulty.
Beat the mission Hangar on any difficulty, just progress through the story. Unlocks Extreme mode and two bonus stages, Xmassacre and Legacy.

Buckle Up - Escort the bus safely without it taking damage.
Here's a real achievement - even on Easy you need to be careful. Buy yourself a nice gun, recommend the FAMAS (has its own achievement too!), and makes sure you fill up on ammo before starting the mission. An achievement is worth a few thousand bucks, right?

You still want to take down the machine gunners, but make sure you primarily focus on the demomen and launchers. You'll probably play a few times to get used to where they spawn. Two demomen near the start and two after the checkpoint/radio. There are a couple of launchers along the way, and be careful of the three at the very end. The first one spawns in the middle of the road - if you're not expecting it, I recommend taking the rocket to the face rather than dodging and having it hit the bus. Once clear, run into the center of the village at the end so the two launchers on either building focus on you and not the bus. Once the last two explosive enemies are taken down, finish off the machine gunners outside - while the bus can take a beating, you don't want it to knock it down a notch right before the end.

Survivor - Survive 30 minutes in endless mode.
Once you beat Hangar, you can change the time limit on a stage to Endless. Pick a stage you're familiar with, though Village works well. Try and work yourself into a position where all enemies are shooting you instead of the village - and hitting a wall instead. Not too hard - just take out any suicide bombers or rocket launchers from a distance. Not too hard, really. Achievement pops as you hit the 30 minute mark.

Kill Related
Chicken Slaughter - Kill all chickens in one round.
Kill all chickens on a map. There are around 10 or 11, and placed in different areas each time, just take alook-see. Achievement pops on the final kill.

I'm uncertain if this achievement still counts on Breakfast, I scored it before this stage was unlocked.

Headless Horseman - Make 15 headshots in one round.
Make 15 headshot kills in one round, you'll see by their head popping off and your combo meter increasing. Take your time and aim carefully, you won't get hurt too much on Easy. Also, don't get too close the aim is a little screwy. Works just fine with the pistol early on.

Death From Above - Kill 5 enemies with an air raid.
Unlocked at Lev20. Pick the same position/wave as Rocket Man (below), wait for the enemies to get together in a bunch and let 'er rip. On my first attempt, I got 8 kills with one hit, this should be real easy once its unlocked.

Rocket Man - Kill 4 enemies with one rocket.
Load up Village (or Xmassacre) once you have purchased the rocket launcher. Stand behind the village well (see completely serious picture below) and kill the 4 enemies in wave 1. When wave 2 arrives, wait for a group of soldiers and suicide bombers to group near the fence ahead on the right and fire away. It may take a few tries to get the timing of the rocket to hit all 4 in one hit.


Ding! - Reach level 20.
You want to do this regardless to unlock the better weapons. Will happen naturally as you progress. As a general idea, completing Village on Medium difficulty requires just two runs to level up from 19 to 20. Once you hit Level 20, you can purchase the Air Raid for the Death From Above achievement.

3.8Kg of Love - Purchase the Foreign Legion FAMAS.
A recommended purchase regardless, though the achievement is really here to advertise new features with the update. Probably just thrown in to show off the new gun. A good idea to get for Buckle Up anyway.

What A Plot Twist! - Destory the supreme chicken overlord. [secret achievement]
"Story" related, cannot be missed if you're progressing through the game. On the Breakfast stage, shoot all the many chickens to summon the overlord. Hide from his shots and keep shooting, really nothing to it. Drop the difficulty for easy achievement.

The Elite - Kill 1337 enemies in total.
Chickens do not count as enemies, just keep playing. You will likely get this before you reach Level 20. Just play the game, pick a stage you're comfortable with like the Village where they only (really) come from one direction, and fire up Endless mode.

Chicken BBQ | Chicken Kebab Party - Kill 25, then 2500 chickens.
This achievement is a real grind, and theres nothing to it. Quickest way is to just repeat Breakfast over and over and over until you're well and truly sick of chickens. Such an awful way to extend play time of this game.
Purchases
My Little Friend - Find the minigun.
The item used to be found in the Village, hence the description. You could see a third package drop on the far side of the village when supplies are called in. This is no longer the case - when you purchase the minigun, the achievement unlocks (like the FAMAS).

Aww, Pretty Princess - Purchase an outfit, helmet and accessory.
Another achievement to advertise the update. If its just the achievement you're after, pick the cheapest outfit, helmet and accessory and be done with it. You're spending time with the game, may as well try out a few options and pick something you like.


Killing with a Smile | Let there be Light | Full Metal Jacket - Play a game with only the Smiley Badge/Night Vision Goggles/Peace Badge and Bullets equipped.
As easy as the description states. Buy the specific accessory, play a round with only that one equipped. If you havent already done it before, you'll need to do a few hundred rounds of Breakfast for the chicken kills, may as well get these too.

Anyone having a hard time with the 1337 achievement? I'm almost at level 23 and finding it hard to believe I still haven't got it yet.

For Rocketman, during the second wave shoot the guy on the far right with the pistol to weaken him. Then use the rocket to fire in the middle of all 4. The guy on the far right is a little further away from the others and by weakening him you should kill him and get the achievement.

Nice Guide. Problem: Rocket man remains at least. A video guide would be more helpful. Do you have to fire in their middle nearby the fence? What is disturbing there's a little hill they have to climb up. And I always see a group of dots on the map, but in the area they are totally distributed.

To easily get 2500 chickens just launch breakfast mission, call in airstrike-> it kills all chickens instantly. Then quit, buy another airstrike, repeat.
