Evil Within 2, The (Xbox One)

Easy "Death From Above" Achievement

In Chapter nine after getting the crank to open the door, exit the 'crank room'. Two Lost will be coming out of their cell. Let them spot you and shoot the lamp hanging above.

Easy "Kick, Shoot, Burn" Achievement

Just north of the safehouse where Chapter three begins, you can find a trucking yard with a lot of enemies. In the back corner of the trucking yard is some oil on the ground. Lure the enemies there and shoot the oil to get the "Kick, Shoot, Burn" achievement. You can climb on the box near the oil to avoid getting burned, as the enemies cannot hit you there.

Easy "Wait For It" Achievement

First, you need the "Ambush" stealth skill. You can buy skills by going to the mirror area and sitting in the chair (mirrors are found at every safehouse). Then, lean at a corner and when an enemy approaches, perform a corner takedown to get the "Wait For It..." achievement. This can be done anywhere in the game. You can lure enemies to you by popping out of cover for a moment and letting them investigate the area. However, be careful they do not become fully aware of you, as the corner takedown only works while you are in stealth.

First Person Mode

The command code that allows you to play The Evil Within 2 with fully-functioning first person support.

How to Activate First Person Perspective:

Step 1: Right click The Evil Within 2 in your Steam library.
Step 2: Click Properties > Launch Options.
Step 3: Add +com_allowconsole 1 and Accept.
Step 4: Launch the game.
Step 5: Press the Insert key.
Step 6: Write pl_FPS 1.
Step 7: Press Enter, then start playing.

Unlike most commands, this one does NOT register as a game cheat, so your ability to earn achievements is unaffected, leaving you to play and enjoy the game to its fullest extent within the first person view. If you wish to switch back, re-open the console and type in pl_FPS 0.

Warning: Despite being third person, some parts of the game force you into first person. If you are already in first person when this happens, you're likely going to cause a conflict and crash the game. So far, I have only noticed this crash happening while you put the gas mask on in chapter four.

Letterbox mode

Successfully complete the game on any difficulty to unlock Letterbox mode. This mode adds letterboxing to resemble the aspect ratio from the original The Evil Within.

Use of refuge

Before you explore the Union, make sure you remember where is your sanctuary. You can go back at any point in the game. When you have a low supply of HP (coffee) or want to create ammunition for weapons, improve it and Castellanos. Creating ammo, first aid kits and other items during the game using "Artisanal production" (inventory), you expend significantly more resources. This option is not recommended because even on low, the number of resources is limited. So come to the shelter and use the minimum amount of resources.
