    How to unlock 70 Kills: SAS - 12

    The SAS - 12 is probably the rarest gun in the entire game. It is first found in chapter 26 and you have to pick it up from gun placements most the time. Dante's big guys will sometimes carry this gun. The SAS-12 is the same as the Moss - 12 but it has a slightly higher fire rate and shorter range. There's no way you will get this just by playing so you will need to grind it, which you can do on:

    Chapter 29 - After the GAU - 19 grinding area you will see a few big guys with SAS - 12's coming towards you along a wooden bridge thing. Kill them and then get the SAS - 12 and all it's ammo. I highly recommend doing this on either Easy or Very Easy. You will see a few enemies across the ravine and you have to kill them for the bridge to drop, keep firing the SAS - 12 in the direction of them until they are all dead. IF you still have ammo left wait for the other guys to come then kill them too. Once you run out of ammo just jump off the cliff to restart the checkpoint. Trophy will unlock after getting 70 kills with it.

  • 70 seems alot for a shotgun that doesn't appear that much in the game. And when it does in the later levels, you mostly have enemies at a distance. Guess this one has to be farmed.
  • Best place for this one is starting on level 33, play up until you have get to the guys with the GAU, take them out and then take everyone else out with the SAS, i believe on very easy you get 10 or so shots with the SAS at the begging of the level. then just re do it.
  • this one didn't pop here!!!Grrr ¦(((
  • I would suggest starting on chapter 32 on very easy. Once you pickup a GP32-BND, don't let go of it. Only use the GP32 on heavy enemies (GAU guys) and when climbing. After clearing the enemies and 2 GAU guys from the area with the rocket launchers, you can find 4 SAS-12's at the top of the next rope. Try to hang off the ledge and lure one of the shotgunners close to you. Pop him with the GP32, then run up and grab his SAS-12. Kill the other 3 shotgunners with the SAS and the GAU guy with the GP32. If you can kill the SAS guys quickly and with only one shot, you'll have about 20-24 SAS-12 rounds to play with. Now you have at least one GP32 round left to help you take out the GAU's in chapter 33 and a good amount of SAS-12 ammo to get your farming started in chapter 33. Remember, on
  • Really?! Did they play their own game before coming up with this trophy? The SAS is both really rare, only appearing in the last few chapters of the game, and completely useless as there's no way you want to get that close to any of the enemies by the time you can actually get this shotgun. What a crock of shit. 30 kills for the other shotgun is fine, there are plenty of those in the game and a few decent places to actually use them. And 70 kills for the FAL and M4 are fine because those guns are plentiful and useful. But 70 kills for a situation weapon that's rare and never sees a situation where it would help? Fucking stupid.
  • At #5...AGREED. It's the only weapon trophy I have left and it's so annoying.
  • @6: Yeah. I'm at the end of my second playthrough now, all that's left is fighting Guerro. And after two playthroughs, my total number of SAS kills is still 0 because it's so useless in this game. This is going to take a lot of grinding on very easy to get because trying to use this on Hard and Crushing (the difficulties I've played so far) is just asking to be killed.
  • I agree with @4. You should have about 16 rounds of SAS ammo when you get to the point where you will kill one sniper on the cliff afar and two GAU gunners. When you snipe these three out, switch to SAS and rush forward to kill the the remaining 7 thugs, including one GAU gunner. Shooting two of your GP32 at this last GAU guy, you'll get at most 7 kills towards your trophy. Then just jump down the fire or cliff to kill yourself. Don't restart or the counts don't carry over. Do this 10 times and you get it easily.
  • I took #4's method, but only killed the first 4 guys in Chapter 33 then jumped off the bridge. It's a nice and quick replay for grinding these kills out, thanks for the method.
  • Hello guys! I kinda found a small improvement over #4 method. 1st of all, you will need 7 round or GPD, i actualy had all 13 to the start of this grinding section and all 24 rounds of SAS, because every time i faced some enemies since chapter 32 - i just temporarily swithed to some other weapon that was lying around. And sometimes you can just don't kill some guys at all, like when you must cover Chase while she gets over those beams. Just stay there - they will not kill you on Very Easy =) My tactic was so: 1 shot of GPD to sniper, 2 shots - to first GAU guy. Quickly approach GAU guy and oneshot him with SAS. Kill second, 2 shots of GPD to next GAU guy, oneshot him... and so on and so forth. Sometimes Chase will kill one of the attackers, but normally you will get 9 kills before ki
