Duke Nukem Forever walkthrough: Learn how to obtain all 6 achievements, including the Pit Champion trophy, with detailed strategies and tips for every encounter.
Walkthrough
- 1Head down the stairs, picking up the Ripper if desired. You'll be offered 'Power Armour', which Duke dismisses as being for 'Pussies'. The Power Armor is notably durable.
- 2Follow Captain Dylan and EDF soldier Jenkins. Be aware that enemies, allies, and vehicles become invincible until you approach the turret.
- 3The turret's effectiveness depends on enemy targeting. If they focus on Dylan and Jenkins, use the turret. Avoid using it for waves five and six. Alternatively, stay back and use your Pistol for headshots.
- 4Wave 1: 2 Pistol Pigcops, 1 Ripper Pigcop.
- 5Wave 2: 1 Pistol Pigcop, 2 Ripper Pigcops.
- 6Wave 3: 2 Assault Trooper Captains.
- 7Wave 4: 1 Assault Trooper Captain.
- 8Wave 5: 3 Berserk Pigcops.
- 9Wave 6: 3 Berserk Pigcops.
- 10Restock ammo at an EDF crate. You'll face 2 Pistol Pigcops and 2 Ripper Pigcops, reinforced by another Pistol Pigcop and Ripper Pigcop.
- 11Dylan will leave, using Pipe Bombs to clear debris.
- 12Detour left under the bridge for a Shotgun, an EDF crate with 2 Laser Trip Mines, and a Beer.
- 13Mr. Target Practice will get himself killed by a vehicle that drops off 2 Assault Troopers. Deal with them and drop into the area cleared by the dropship.
- 14More Pigcops spawn:
- 15Wave 1: 1 Pistol Pigcop, 1 Ripper Pigcop, 1 RPG Super Pigcop.
- 16Wave 2: 2 Assault Trooper Captains.
- 17Be cautious of the RPG Pigcop on the bus top and the barrel-carrying Pigcop. The Captains can teleport behind you.
- 18Pick up Steroids and 2 Pipe Bombs from EDF crates. Engage 4 unarmed Berserk Pigcops, reinforced by 2 more. Avoid the turret.
- 19Use red barrels under the Berserk Pigcops' drop point for an effective detonation.
- 20After this, grab the RPG Launcher and drop into the pit.
- 21In the pit, to your right is a crashed gunship with an RPG, Ammo Crate, and Explosives Cache. To your left, near EDF soldiers, is a drop pod with an RPG and an Ammo Crate. In between are three red barrels.
- 22Pigcops will be dropped in; target the Alien Dropships with RPGs before they land.
- 23Wave 1: 3 Ripper Pigcops.
- 24Wave 2: 1 Ripper Pigcop, 2 Assault Captains.
- 25Wave 3: 2 Ripper Pigcops, 2 Super Pigcops.
- 26Use the truck near the wall for cover. Restock ammo and pick up a Ripper if needed.
Tips
- Drinking a Beer can help survivability.
- If you have an AT Captain Laser, use it on the Berserk Pigcops while retreating, then switch to the Shotgun.
- Using Steroids to fight Berserk Pigcops is risky due to their numbers.
- Spam Pipe Bombs and Laser Trip Mines before the Berserk Pigcop ambush.
- You can try running past the Berserk Pigcops into the pit; they won't follow.
- The 'Pit Champion' achievement is story-based and cannot be missed.
