10 Bizarre Video Game Achievements You Didn't See Coming

2. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU - Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate

There’s nothing like an achievement that hits the meta trifecta of responding to your bizarre in-game actions, commenting on them, and yelling its judgement of them at you all in one fell swoop. And in this case you totally deserved it. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is Ubisoft’s 2015 entry into the long running series, set in London during the Second Industrial Revolution.

There are two ways to obtain this achievement and both of them are, frankly, awful. And you’re awful for popping it. Here’s why.

When you’re at the helm of a carriage being pursued you have one of two options to make progress toward crossing this one off. Climb aboard your own rickety steed and shoot enemy horses to halt their pursuit or, if you’re a little bit nuts, shoot your own horses.

Either option will contribute toward the achievement which calls for you to flip five carriages by shooting their horses. A cruel albeit effective solution to your need to flee.
