How to unlock

Carmine or Dom ladder climb fail

In Act 2,Chapter 2 "Indigenous Creatures", when you first get to use the rock-worm as cover against enemies, there will be two ladders behind a group of enemies where a Troika gun is located. Note: This is where Marcus says that it looks like a staging area after you kill the enemies. After killing the enemies, get up on one of the ladders before Dom or Carmine gets up. Wait for one of them to start climbing, then get directly in their way when they give their final pull upwards. They will stand on the edge and fall down. Keep doing this and eventually Carmine will give up and just stand at the base of the ladder until you go to a different area. Note: This trick might work on different ladders.

Carry over weapons

In Horde, starting a new wave clears all the weapons dropped by enemies so if you want to carry over heavy weapons such as mulchers boomshields or mortars, pick them up and carry them until the new wave of enemies appear. This way, you can still get a new copy of the weapon if it is one of the default weapons of the map or have the advantage of having extra firepower at the start of the wave.

Clearing all 50 waves with 2-3 people

There is a small tunnel in the central area of Pavilion which leads to a Boomshield and there is an ammo supply near the entrance. You can simply plant the shield in the middle of the tunnel and that is enough to prevent most, if not all enemies from entering. This is very useful from preventing heavy attackers such as bloodmounts, butchers and maulers. It is possible to hold all 50 waves from this position.

Cowboy Hat Mania

Start at the beginning of Act 1 Chapter 3 "Rolling Thunder" on Insane difficulty. At the start, before the cutscene, there are 3 cowboy hats in the area. Take out your pistol and shoot them. Remember to press BACK to skip the dialog.

Assuming you are facing the direction the rig will be moving, the first is on the side of the building behind and to the right of the rig.
The second is between the front wheel and back wheel of a tank sitting to the left of the rig.
The third is behind the second large gas tank next to the tank with the previous cowboy hat.

Shooting all 3 will give you the following effects:
All characters on the rig will immediately equip cowboy hats.
In the next chapter, if you fail kill the driver of the hijacked rig in time, when you see the cutscene of your rig falling into the ravine, you will see a cowboy hat floating down to earth.
If you succeed to kill the driver of the hijacked rig, he will be wearing a cowboy hat when he hangs out the window before the cutscene.
During the cutscene where the hijacked rig falls into the ravine, you will see a cowboy hat falling down to earth.
A corpser that emerges from the ground later in the chapter will be wearing a cowboy hat and scream "YEE HAW!"

Disguised weapon

Shoot some bullets out of the weapon that you want to disguise. Then, reload while shooting. As soon as it reaches the active reload area, change to smoke and throw it. Then, switch to the gun to be disguised, then to the weapon you want to use to hide the weapon. Repeat the steps from the change weapon part. For example, you can use the shotgun and disguised it as a pistol. Your screen will display the weapon you wanted to disguise; other screens except for the host will display a pistol.

Easy flame grenadier kill

To easily kill a flame grenadier in Story mode, aim your gun at the fuel tanks on its back. It then becomes a very large mobile grenade. Do not stand too close to it or else you will be downed or killed.
