Call of Duty series generally have easy-to-obtain achievements. But, for the third entry in the remake series, Sledgehammer Games is making things a little more difficult. The “Have you tried turning it off and on” Trophy is a perfect example. We’ll show you how to get it.
Modern Warfare 3: How to get the “Have you tried turning it off and on” Trophy
The “Have you tried turning it off and on” achievement is one of the rarest achievements in the game. To get this achievement, you have to be in any of the open combat mission levels, and it must have a sentry gun. I recommend doing Reactor since it’s an early open combat mission. The sooner you get it, the better. Plus, while you’re here, check out this guide to get every weapon and item in Reactor.

As you parachute downward, start steering toward the right. Once you’ve situated yourself on the right side, pivot towards the center near the building that’s round.
When you touch down, head to the back corner of the building near the round building. Use the map below as a reference.
Here you’ll find ammo, a zipline, and shock sticks. These sticks are what you’ll need. After you get them, make your way right of this area till you see an opening. You’ll find a sentry gun, but it won’t shoot you since it’s looking straight ahead. All you have to do is throw a shock stick at the sentry gun to destroy it. When you do that, it’ll be disabled, and the achievement should appear.
Note: Some players have reported that the trophy or achievement doesn’t pop up. There’s no real solution, so I’d say wait till the full game comes out on November 10. Hopefully, Sledgehammer Games will have fixed this problem by then.
