Introduction ================ This is my first English guide, as the language is the most used on TF2, even on achievement servers. I'm also a pround member of Hell's Kitchen Community (HK) and I'm also frequenting UK Man Down (UKMD) servers. These ones are newbie friendly. If HK is doing a map rotation on its 5 servers (among them, an arena one), UKMD proposes per server 1 map all day. Personnally, I'm always on Badwater Basin, for improving Sniper skills. Also, I'm admin for a Pyro Achievement Server (and the ancient Medic one), so, you understand why I'm doing this guide. A lot of experience on them taught me how to unlock achievements. RECOMMANDATION: Use always your normal weapons unless you're required to use the upgraded one. Play always on official maps for being sure to get the ones requiring those - you'll not get them if you're playing on modified maps using the official ones (like db_heights who is a payload map based on Dustbowl for example). You can probably get the achievements on custom map but if you can't just switch back to servers proposing official maps. It happens that a server isn't counting your advancement. Even on achievement servers.

Official Maps ================= It's perhaps an achievement guide but I feel that I need to add the description of the official maps. == PAYLOAD MAPS == 1) PAYLOAD (PL_) Description: Basically, a Payload map is a map with Blu in attack and Red in defense. The goal is to push a cart and win checkpoints. Badwater Basin is a single push, Goldrush has three stages. Hoodoo is a sort of Gold Rush but with an old cart. Specificity: Attack/Defense Maps: Badwater Basin, Goldrush, Hoodoo 2) PAYLOAD RACE (PLR_) Description: It's a mode that was making speaking of itself because of some pics in the Scout update. Now, with the Spy vs Sniper update, it's a reality. Each team will have to push the cart in order to win a sort of race. It's kinda like capping all points on a map. So, you can understand that you'll have two teams in one: one for defending and another one for pushing. Specificity: Two carts to push, is a sort of Hydro but at the end, each team can still win the entire round (even if a team lost the two other stages). Maps: Pipeline == ARENA MAPS (ARENA_) == Description: Arena maps are a sort of sudden death match. When you're joining a server, you can't get into the fight currently happening, you have to wait the beginning of another round for playing. You have to kill the entire enemy team if you want to win but if you're killed, you don't respawn. A capture point is enabled if the fight is too long. Specificity: Deathmatch without respawn Maps: Lumberyard, Ravine, Well, Granary, Badlands, Watchtower, Sawmill, Nucleus, Offblast == CAPTURE POINT MAPS == 1) CAPTURE POINT (CP_) Description: A normal Capture Point map is a map where Red and Blu are trying to cap a middle point and each other points. Neither Red or Blu are in attack or defense like in Dustbowl or in Badwater, meaning that some achievements requiring that kind of map can't be achieved there. Specificity: Middle point is belonging to none of the teams when the round is starting. If the winning team isn't able to cap the last point before time is running out, Sudden Death is activated (if the server is letting Sudden Death on). Maps: Well(CP), Granary, Fastlane, Badlands, Yukon, Freight 2) CAPTURE POINT ASSAULT (CP_) The bases are the same: capturing points. The difference with a normal CP map is that Blu is in attack and Red in defense, like in Badwater or Goldrush. Blu has to capture the Red points while Red is defending them. Dustbowl and Egypt are in three stages when GravelPit, Junction and Steel make you defend several points at the same time. Specificity: Attack/Defense Maps: Dustbowl, GravelPit, Steel, Junction, Egypt, Gorge == CAPTURE THE FLAG MAPS (CTF_) == Description: Basically, you have to capture the enemy intelligence and to bring it back to your base. Neither Red or Blu are in defense/attack. Intel is staying for +/- 1 or 2 minutes on the ground if it's dropped and returns in intel room if nobody is picking it. Specificity: Flag = Filecase, Intel, Documents, call it like you want. Also, Sudden Death can be activated if the teams are tied. Maps: 2Fort, Turbine, Well(CTF), Sawmill, Doublecross == TERRITORIAL CONTROL (TC_) == Description: It's a sort of CP map, where Blu and Red are trying to cap each other points but here, it's only one by one. You have to cap a point in order to control that area while the other team is pushing back in another area. But if they manage to cap the point you've won, they'll be back in that area and defending it again while trying to cap yours. When a team is pushed back to the last area, they can't cap the enemy point, they have to defend their at all costs. Specificity: Sudden Death is activated if nobody is capturing points. If a team who loses a CP is winning it again, a new round will be triggered with the losing team forced to capture it again if they want to win. Maps: Hydro == KING OF THE HILL (KOTH_) == Description: That mode appears with the Classless update. It consists in capturing the only point on the map and to keep it during three minutes. When the other team capture it, your timer is stuck at the time needing before a win and their timer is beginning to do the countdown. For Halloween, the new map has been revamped for the event and you have a ghost walking around, making you scared when you see it. It's very funny and probably the only KOTH map I love. Specificity: An only point and a timed mission. Beware of the maps inherited from Arena like Nucleus where the point isn't available for capture imediately. Maps: Sawmill, Nucleus, Viaduct, Harvest, Harvest Event ================ 3. Weapon System ================ Before the Spy/Sniper update, you had to do milestones (or if you prefer a certain number of achievements) for getting a new weapon. Now, you just have to log on a server and to wait that the weapon is given to you... and you can get duplicates. It's totally random and it's totally boring at the end. Even if milestones are still there (appearing a week after the update), you're still having the duplicates because of a future trade system. These are the normal weapons: PYRO: Flamethrower, Shotgun, Fire Axe HEAVY: Shotgun, Minigun (Sasha), Fists MEDIC: Syringe Gun, Medigun, Bonesaw SCOUT: Bat, Pistol, Scattergun SPY: Knife, Invisibility Watch, Revolver, Electro Sapper, Disguise Kit SNIPER: Sniper Rifle, SMG, Kukri SOLDIER: Rocket Launcher, Shotgun, Shovel, Gunboats DEMOMAN: Bottle, Sticky Bomb Launcher, Grenades Launcher ENGINEER: Wrench, Building/Demolishing PDA, Shotgun, Pistol The weapons from achievements (or from the official war between Soldier and Demoman) that you can "loot" randomly are: PYRO: Backburner, Flaregun, Axetinguisher HEAVY: Sandwich, Natasha, KGB (Gloves) MEDIC: Blutsauger, Kritzkrieg Gun, Ubersaw SCOUT: Sandman, Bonk! Atomic Punch, Force-A-Nature SPY: Dead Ringer, Cloak and Dagger, Ambassador SNIPER: Huntsman, Jarate, Razorback SOLDIER: Direct Hit, Buff Banner, Equalizer, Gunboats DEMOMAN: Eyelander, Chargin'Targe, Scottish Resistance Since an update in 2010, there are three new community weapons: SOLDIER/DEMOMAN: Pain Train HEAVY: Dalokohs bar PYRO: Homewrecker Since the end of April 2010, you can get a new community weapon: SCOUT: Crit-o-Cola For Sam & Max season 3 promo, exclusive weapons were released (see Max's Severed Head for conditions): SCOUT: Lugermorph SPY: The Big Kill Since the end of May 2010, the second community content wave landed on TF2. Here are the new weapons: DEMOMAN: The Scotsman's Skullcuter SNIPER: The Tribalman's Shiv ============= 4. Hats Guide ============= Hats don't need a guide. But it's better to list them as now you have something like 20 or more of them. I'm not really depicting them, it's more a compilation of my thoughts. TF2 Wiki is doing a wonderful job of description and trivia. NB: SvS = Spy vs Sniper update (or Sniper vs Spy update) Cl = Classless update Com1 = Community hats (first wave) Com2 = Community hats (second wave) Misc = Slot Misc == SPECIAL HATS AND ITEMS == Those are the ones done for a special event (Halloween for example) or given for being a good player (aka the Halo). Generally, they can be weared by all the classes. ------HATS------- - Cheater's Lament: An halo being given by Valve to players who weren't idling with a third-party program making the hats being dropped more often. Usually, the hat is considered as being ridiculous. Its other name is the Halo and it's for all the characters. I'm not wearing it because I don't consider myself as an angel when I play. - Ghastly Gibus: The Gibus was (and is still) an Halloween hat, that 10 317 players grabbed for free on TF2 Blog. Fortunately, you can still get it IF you're dominating someone wearing it. Also, the Gibus is without class restriction and is worn by the ghost haunting Harvest Event. The hat is depicted in Scared Stiff and Ghastly Gibus Grab. There are the initials ZM. See the story on TF2 Blog for understanding it. - Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask: Most known as the bag, it isn't available anymore, even if it's still in your backpack. It was a bag with a special drawing, always being different according to the classes wearing it. It was Halloween restricted. - Bill's Hat: If you're lucky enough to be able to pre-purchase the L4D2 game, you will receive a military hat without a class restriction. - Modest Pile of Hat: You can obtain it by crafting using headgear blueprints. It's very similar to the Backbiter's Billycock from Spy. - Noble Amassement of Hats: You can obtain it by crafting using headgear blueprints. On top of the Modest Pile of Hat, you can find a Stove Pipe, similar to the Demo's one. - Towering Pillar of Hats: You can obtain it by crafting using headgear blueprints. On top of the Noble Amassement of Hats, you can find a Panama, similar to the Sniper's one. - Max's Severed Head: That hat was only available during a promo for the new Sam & Max season if you buy it the first week. It's Max's Head, looking like he's biting you. ------MISC------ - Primeval Warrior Medal: A medal awarded to people having played TF2 before official release (from September 17th 2007 to October 9th 2007). It has a B on it for indicating beta players and it's purple. Each class has his sign on it. - Grizzled Veteran Medal: A gold medal awarded to people having played during the first three months after official release (from October 10th 2007 to January 09th 2008). There is three numbers: it's the number 1 which is circled by TF2 logo. Each class has his sign on it. - Soldier of Fortune Medal: A silver medal awarded to people having played TF2 from January 10th 2008 to October 09th 2008. There is three numbers: it's the number 2 which is circled by TF2 logo. Each class has his sign on it. - Mercenary Medal: A bronze medal awarded to people having played TF2 since October 10th 2008 to the current day (check your calendar). There is three numbers: it's the number 3 which is circled by TF2 logo. Each class has his sign on it. == SCOUT == [SvS] - Batter's helmet: The first hat out for Scout is just a reminder of the fact he's wearing a baseball bat and playing that sport with the Sandman. The Helmet isn't protecting you from being stunned. Be aware of that. [Cl] - Bonk Helmet: The modified version of the Beer Helmet is featuring Bonk!, the energy drink... without its effect. - Ye Olde Baker Boy: Also known as the Newsboy Cap,it's my favorite hat for Scout. Making him more boyish than manly. - Baseball Bill's Sports Shine: Aka Hatless Scout, it's showing what the Scout is wearing under his headset... [Com1] - Troublemaker's Tossle Cap: Hat contributed by SaLI(The Lizard), this is looking more like a baggy winter bag and it could be a reference to what some gangs are wearing. [Com2] - Whoopee cap: Hat from Thrillho, this cap is looking like a crown full of badges like the bonk, the RED/BLU sign or enemy dispenser. == SOLDIER == [SvS] - Soldier's Stash: The Soldier's Stash is reminding of the helmet worn during WWII and Vietnam War. I want it. It's looking good on the Soldier. [Cl] - Tyrant's Helm: Also known as the Viking Hat, an horn is missing. Just for your culture, the Vikings weren't wearing horns. It was popularized during the Romantic era in the Fine Arts. - Stainless Pot: Just a pot for his head, apparently a reference to the use of pots as armor. [Com1] - Killer's Kabuto: Lucky soldier, he's now playing the last samura� on TF2 world with this Asiatic helmet. The hat is by AyesDyef. [Com2] - Sergeant Drill's Hat: Gerre is the author of that well-known military headgear from Full Metal Jacket to Half-Life: Opposing Force. [Misc] - Gentle Manne's Service Medal: Just available during Classless update, with an hidden website and only awarded to the 11 111 players coming first on it. Not available elsewhere... == PYRO == [SvS] - Pyro's Beanie: If the makers wanted to make the Pyro look like a child, it's reaching its goal with that hat that I find insulting for our fire lover. He's not that stupid, right? [Cl] - Brigade Helmet: My most wanted hat for Pyro will make me a fine firefighter. Well, a Pyro setter will be perhaps more accurate in that case. - Respectless Rubber Glove: There is a theory saying that it's the Engi's second glove. Also called the Chicken glove, apparently, the developers are trying to pass the message that the Pyro is... stupid. [Com1] - Triboniophorus Tyrannus: Okay, that little blob is looking like a brainslug or like anything else from the sci-fi fiction. Why can't the Pyro have normal hats? This hat is from Steaky. [Com2] - Vintage Merryweather: This is the second fire brigade helmet but this time, it's looking like old ones from the Victorian Era. The hat is from Puppies. - Whiskered Gentleman: See Misc. [Misc] -----FORMER HAT----- - Whiskered Gentleman: This is a fake mustache and goatee with a monocle. Contributed by Barlim, this former hat moved the next day in the Misc. Slot is one of the few masculine attributes for the Pyro, who is still under the theory to be a woman. == DEMOMAN == [SvS] - Demoman's 'Fro: According to TF2 Wiki, it's probably the real hair of the Demoman when he's not wearing his usual heatset. Just making him more "Afro" than Scottish. [Cl] - Glengarry Bonnet: The Scottish side of the Demoman is shown there. It's really an hat going along the character and not looking as too weird in my opinion. Just missing the kilt now (with the smiley under it). - Scotsman's Stove Pipe: Nothing to say on it apart that it's a top hat. The Gibus is a cousin of it. [Com1] - Hustler's Hallmark: Just a kind of luxuous cowboy hat with a feather... I don't know if it's really fitting our bomber... It was designed by Crazy-G. [Com2] - Trippler's Tricorne: This hat from Brainsample is a broad hat with turned bims which was popular during the 18th century and part of military uniform. == HEAVY == [SvS] - Football Helmet: Probably worn by the Heavy because he's a big guy... But the Football Helmet is also shown in Meet the Spy Trailer. It's featured in the achievement Soviet Block for Heavy... way before the arrival of hats. [Cl] - Officer's Ushanka: The hat from the Red Army is a reference to the Russian (or for historic accuracy Soviet) root for the Heavy. My most wanted hat for Heavy. No, it's not my passion for WWII that is speaking. - Tough Guy's Tuque: Making the Heavy looking less frightening than usual but very colored. [Com1] - Hound Dog: Now, Heavy is thinking that he's the new Elvis Presley with some black hair and with the famous sunglasses. It's a creation from Steven "Progg" Skidmore. [Com2] - Heavy Duty Rag: From Sith Happens, this hat is a reference to what the original Heavy in Team Fortress Classic is wearing: a bandana. == ENGINEER == [SvS] - Mining Light: The most wanted hat for Engi for me, the hat is having a flash- light, not useful in darker parts of maps. [Cl] - Texas Ten Gallon: The Cowboy Hat is making somewhere the Engineer a Texan. A lot of players want it, I'm among the people who aren't really a fanatic of it. It's just plain white and hurting my eyes. - Engineer's Cap: Similar to the The Railroad Driver Cap, that hat is too much striped for my taste. Apparently, according to TF2 wiki, zoom on the cap with Sniper Rifle and you'll see under the wrench the word Railroad... - Texas Slim's Dome Shine: Well, the Engi without his hat is showing that he's shaving his hair. [Com1] - Hotrod: That hat is a wielding mask with a cool design. It is known to flip down Engineer's face when holding a blueprint for a building. It was contributed by ...Smithy. [Com2] - Safe'n'Sound: By Konras, that hat is a pair of ears defenders, like construction workers. == MEDIC == [SvS] - Prussian Pickelhaube: The famous Prussian helmet of the German Army during the 19th century and the WWI (1914-1918). [Cl] - Vintage Tyrolean: Wear that hat if you're having a Tyrolean soul.. But it's pretty normal to have that typical hat for a German Medic. - Otolaryngologist's Mirror: Known as the Mirror, this is clearly a reference to the doctor job. [Com1] ------HATS IN MISC SLOT------ - Physician's Procedure Mask: This hat by Gerre is inspired by a real surgeon mask and probably also by the Medic in Team Fortress Class, who was wearing it. In your backpack, this item is placed in Misc. but it's a real hat. [Com2] - Ze Goggles: By 5p3tch, these goggles are much looking like what Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell is wearing or what the Ghostbusters were carrying. - Gentleman's Gatsby: By Luigimario .n00bz., that hat is much more looking like an Ascot cap. == SNIPER == [SvS] - Trophy Belt: The Sniper Hat with a belt of crocodile teeth... Yeah, Crocodile Dundee seems to be in TF2. It's a reference to the Australian background of the Sniper. The hat is seen in the Meet the Spy trailer, during the Sniper/Spy fight in which you can also see the new weapons. [Cl] - Professional's Panama: Just a panama for the Sniper. I still don't know why he's wearing that. - Master's Yellow Belt: As a reference to martial arts, that hat was more looking for me as an Native American's hat with a feather... It's very yellow and a theory is saying that it's years of throwing Jarate that made the cloth take that colour. - Ritzy Rick's Hair Fixative: Officially the Hatless Sniper but it's the famous hat known since 2007. [Com1] - Shooter's Sola Topi: This hat by Amouro is looking like a British colonial headset. [Com2] - Blocke's bucket Hat: This hat is worn by fisherman and is designed by AAA_BATTERY. == SPY == [SvS] - Fancy Fedora: I'm drooling over it. It's like seeing the Dick Tracy style on our little secret agent... It's looking like a Trilby (no, I'm not referring to another sexy character named Trilby in the Chzo Quadrilogy - See 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes and 6 Days a Sacrifice, made with the AGS Engine). It's also depicted in the icon of the achievement Deep Undercover. Friends of mine know that it's better to be on my team while wearing it or else, they're dominated. [Cl] - Backbiter's Billycock: Another hat making the Spy looking British when he's French... But nothing is better than you know what. Fedora-only effect? - Camera Beard: See Misc. Since Soldier vs Demoman Update, it's been moved to the Misc. Slot. [Com1] - Magistrate's Mullet: The Spy is now having a wig that makes him looking like a man coming from past centuries. It has been contributed by Davision. [Com2] - Frenchman's Beret: That hat is designed with two paintbrushes on the side and may be a reference to the Spy's French origins. Daimao is behind it. [Misc] ----FORMER HAT----- - Camera Beard: Yeah, a beard as an hat, it's not common. That object appeared first in the Spy Vs Sniper update and if you're remembering correctly, it was rejected as a weapon by the Spy, preferring the Dead Ringer and the Cloak and Dagger. The camera is obvious and I don't know why it's making the Spy looking ... ugly. I'm settling for a Fedora lover problem for me. ======================= 5. General Achievements ======================= General Achievements were the first achievements to be released with TF2/Orange Box. As they're not in a class-pack, I'm not putting the ones specific to a class apart. HARD TO KILL ------------ *Objective: Get five kills in a row without dying. Very easy to get if you choose the right classes or if you're ubered. Being a Pyro, a Heavy or a Demoman can be sufficient for newbies. If you're a good Sniper or Spy, you can get it easily. *How did I unlock it? By being Pyro when I was a newbie, it was only after a few plays. MASTER OF DISGUISE ------------------ *Objective: Trick an opposing Medic into healing a Spy. = CLASS REQUIRED: Spy (it's not stated clearly in the achievement) The goal is to be healed by an opposing Medic. And trust me, it's easy to get because nearly all Medics are healing randomly, myself included. It's not always easy to do the difference between a teammate and a disguised Spy. Just be disguised and call Medic. *How did I unlock it? Only recently, while helping on achievement server with Hypocritical Oath and FYI I'm a Medic. GREY MATTER ----------- *Objective: Get 25 headshots as a Sniper It's not as easy as it sounds. Being a newbie Sniper, you'll be killed a few times by skilled ones if you're trying to get them. But don't worry, I got it when I was a newbie one, so, you can have it if you're not trying to be everytime a Sniper. It's not in one life after all. Just aim for the enemy's head and fire. 2Fort is the most useful map for that, with the balconies in front of each others, used as Sniper decks. Badwater Basin, some stages of Goldrush and Dusbowl are also appropriate for the kills. *How did I unlock it? By always being a Sniper on 2Fort, as I was imposing myself a code: no sniping on other maps until I've improved. POWERHOUSE OFFENSE ------------------ *Objective: Win 2Fort with a Shutout The objective is to steal 4 times the enemy's intel without having yours stolen. You need to be in a good team for that. It's more a teamwork than a single act, so, if the intel is dropped and that you can take it, do it. The fast way to unlock it is to create a server with 2Fort and to steal 4 times the intel. *How did I unlock it? Using the fast way: creating the server with 2Fort and stealing the intel. LIGHTNING OFFENSE ----------------- *Objective: Win Well in less than 5 Minutes. It's again a teamwork achievement. You have to cap the middle point and the two enemy points on Well in less than 5 Minutes. It can be done if you have a totally disorganised team in front of you, with Pyros who aren't spychecking or with no Engineers. The best way to have it is to sent one or two Scouts/Spy to the enemy capture point for getting the cap just after the middle point one. A Scout is counting for two persons and the last point is always faster to cap than the others. *How did I unlock it? Good question, I do not remember it. Probably with the "create a server" for exploring the map. RELENTLESS OFFENSE ------------------ *Objective: Win Hydro without giving up a Capture. Hydro is a map with different stages: 1 capture point per stage. While trying to get the enemy's CP, you have to defend yours. I've been into weak teams that kept being rolled by the others, despite some of us being advanced players and trying to fight but without a good back-up, it's not possible. You have just to get on the right team for getting this one. *How did I unlock it? Using the fast way: creating the server with Hydro. IMPENETRABLE DEFENSE -------------------- *Objective: Defend Dustbowl without giving up a Capture. = TEAM REQUIRED: Red By experience, I know that in 95% of rounds, the first cap point in the first stage of Dustbowl is always captured. But I've been into teams that couldn't get that first CP. So, it's again a teamwork here. *How did I unlock it? Using the fast way: creating the server with Dustbowl and playing red. IMPOSSIBLE DEFENSE ------------------ *Objective: Defend Gravelpit without giving up a Capture. = TEAM REQUIRED: Red Again, like for Impenetrable Defense, 98% of rounds are witnessing a cap, even in the last seconds. And not as in Dustbowl, where the Blu team has to cap the first CP before going for the second, Gravelpit is having 3 CP. A and B can be captured in the same time for unlocking C. So, you have to defend A AND B for getting this achievement. B is always harder to cap than A, as everyone is generally getting on B first. *How did I unlock it? Using the fast way: creating the server with Gravelpit and playing red. HEAD OF THE CLASS ----------------- *objective: Play a complete round with every Class. It's easy to achieve this one: just get on a map and play a round by being one of the nine classes during all the round. Just keep doing that with the rest. *How did I unlock it? Using the fast way: creating the server with a map and playing a complete round with a class. WORLD TRAVELER -------------- *Objective: Play a complete game on every map. It's also easy to achieve it, for Well (CP), Badwater Basin and 2Fort, you have just to play the map, for Dustbowl, Hydro and Goldrush, you have to get through all the stages though I'm not sure if for these three a round is sufficient or not. Don't forget that you need to be at the start and at the end of the round for being credited. Don't worry though, you have only to play on these 6 official maps. *How did I unlock it? Using the fast way: creating several servers one after one and play a map. You can combine it with the Offense map. TEAM DOCTOR ----------- *Objective: Accumulate 25000 Heal Points as a Medic You don't have to do it in one life, it's just an accumulation of points game after game. Just heal, heal and heal. Once you're up to 25 000 points, you have to be killed for getting it. And trust me, you'll be often killed so, it's not a problem for having it. *How did I unlock it? My main class is Medic, so, you understand that I got it real fast. Just heal, heal and provide ubers for winning. FLAMETHROWER ------------ *Objective: Set five enemies on fire in 30 seconds = CLASS REQUIRED: Pyro It's also an easy one, be a Pyro and do a rush in the enemy line without being killed. Another way to have it is to team with a Medic who'll provide uber. It doesn't work on people already on fire. *How did I unlock it? On Dustbowl stage 1 though I'm not remembering if I was a Blu or a Red at the time. SENTRYGUNNER ------------ *Objective: Kill 10 people with a single Sentry Gun = CLASS REQUIRED: Engineer Your sentry can't be destroyed or else you have to restart the achievement at the beginning. Just be assured that you're guarded by Pyros or anything else that can prevent you or the sentry to be killed (or sapped). Don't forget that if you change class, your sentry will disappear. *How did I unlock it? On Dustbowl stage 2 first cap point. My sentry was next to the stairs of the building and did get 11 kills because Blu team was just trying to get to my sentry without uber and by the stairs. NEMESIS ------- *Objective: Get five revenge kills. Just kill five people dominating you. It's not hard to get. The people to kill are having a fist above their heads. *How did I unlock it? By focusing on people dominating me. WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE ----------------------- *Objective: Play with 8 friends on the Friends List. You have to add people as your friends, do it with the players you're playing the most. Then, just try to play a game with 8 or more on the same server. It's rare to obtain this way though. It's a matter of luck. Also, it's not working on endless rounds. *How did I unlock it? By pure fate. I was playing on HK private server for a Guys vs Girls matches and most of the players were already on my friend lists. DYNASTY ------- *Objective: Win 20 games. Just win 20 games and you'll get it. No matter if you're loosing between each victory, it's not 20 games in a row. *How did I unlock it? I began achieving it by creating servers for exploring the map but then, I finished it during real fights. I couldn't stand the idea to get it by myself and not with a nice teamwork. HARDCORE -------- *Objective: Kill 1000 enemies It's also an easy one to get. Just kill, no matter the class or the map or the team. For getting more kills, don't play Medic or Engineer because for the former, you'll be more healing than killing and for the latter, you'll be more focused on your buildings and Spies than trying to kill the adversaries. *How did I unlock it? By killing people, mainly as a Pyro (even if I did some kills as Soldier or Sniper). It was before the classes updates, so, at that time, I was focusing as Medic or Pyro. ============ 6. Pyro Pack ============ The Pyro Pack was released in 2008 and is easy to achieve on achievement server (particularly on the one I'm admin of). Milestones: * 10 achievements - Flaregun * 16 achievements - Backburner * 22 achievements - Axetinguisher Mini-site: http://steamgames.com/tf2/pyro/ COMBINED FIRE ------------- *Objective: Use the Shotgun to kill any enemies that have been lit on fire. For being sure to kill an lit on fire enemy, do it yourself. Put on fire and then switch to your shotgun and kill. You can't have it with Flaregun equipped. *How did I unlock it? I'm not a switcher when it comes to Pyro but with Flaregun, it changed. So, as I prefer to be equipped with the Flaregun during rounds, I got Combined Fire on achievement server. HOT ON YOUR HEELS ----------------- *Objective: Kill 50 enemies from behind. The Backburner can be a great helper as it's giving critical shots when you're putting people on fire by behind. It's also easy to get this one as you can always find a way to be behind, like in Badwater, be a Red Pyro and just get in the tunnel by behind when Blu are pushing the cart. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally, not thinking about this achievement. Just focuse on doing your duty and you'll get it quickly. FIREWALL -------- *Objective: Ignite 5 Spies having a sapper on friendly building For getting it, if you're see a Spy putting sappers on your buildings, just put him on fire. Killing him isn't necessary but I recommand to you to do it because you're playing for the victory and letting a Spy alive is a bad error. Not working on Spies already on fire. *How did I unlock it? By spraying a lot of fire when I saw a building being sapped. If the Engi is struggling with sappers and a Spy who is insisting, you don't have to hesitate. Don't let your Engi down. I FRY ----- *Objective: Ignite 10 disguised Spies Just ignite 10 disguised Spies for getting it. Generally, staying near sentries is the best way to get it. If you're lighting a Spy cloaked and disguised, you'll get the point for I Fry and Spontaneous Combustion. Not working on Spies already on fire. *How did I unlock it? By spraying a lot of fire when I was spychecking. GOT A LIGHT? ------------ *Objective: Ignite a Spy throwing his cigarette This achievement requires that a Spy is taunting while having his disguise kit. I don't know a lot of players who are doing this taunt ingame but it can happen. Just put him on fire and kill him if you want, because it will count for Dance Dance Immolation. It's also counting when the Spy is doing the Spycrab taunt. Not counting if the Spy is already on fire. *How did I unlock it? On achievement server, someone was being a Spy for achievement and I took the opportunity to do it. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION ---------------------- *Objective: Ignite 10 cloaked Spies You have to ignite invisible Spies for getting it. Normally, being near Engis and sentries is a good way to reveal cloaked ones. If you're lighting a Spy cloaked and disguised, you'll get the point for I Fry and Spontaneous Combustion. It doesn't work on Spies already ignited. *How did I unlock it? By spraying a lot of fire when I was spychecking. SECOND DEGREE KILL ------------------ *Objective: Kill a burning enemy who was ignited by another Pyro. It's also easy to get this one if you're two Pyros rushing towards enemies. Or you can still use your shotgun if you don't want to waste Flamethrower ammo. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. COOKING THE BOOKS ----------------- *Objective: Ignite 5 enemies carrying your intel = Maps: Turbine, Well(CTF), 2Fort, Sawmill This is an achievement to do when you're on an CTF map like 2Fort or Well(CTF) or Turbine. Just put fire on people carrying your intel. Beware, it might be not working on Pyros or on people already ignited. *How did I unlock it? By playing on 2Fort and putting on fire people trying to get my intel. BAPTISM BY FIRE --------------- *Objective: Force 10 enemies to jump into water while lit on fire. = Maps: Well(CP), 2Fort, Ravine It's simple: put on fire people on maps with water and the reflex will be to jump into it when you're near it. 2Fort and Well(CP) can be useful. *How did I unlock it? I was always killed before putting my opponent on fire, so, yes, I got it on achievement server with pool. PLAN B ------ *Objective: Kill 10 people under water = Requires Shotgun/Axe/Axetinguisher = Maps: Well(CP), 2Fort The best way to get it is to play with your shotgun or your Axe as the fire weapons don't love water. 2Fort and Well are particularly adapted to that achievement. *How did I unlock it? On achievement server as I wasn't able to kill an enemy during real fight. NEXT OF KINDLING ---------------- *Objective: Ignite an enemy, and the Medic healing him. There is no easiest achievement than this one. It's very easy to ignite an enemy and the Medic healing him. Not working with Pyro/Medic duo. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. I've said it: it's very easy to get on fighting servers. TRAILBLAZER ----------- *Objective: Ignite 10 people having taken a teleporter recently It's easy to get it when you're on attack/defense map as 1) Blu: you can have quickly in the first CP people getting out of teleporter (spawn point being far from the current battleground) 2) Red: you can have them when you're defending the last point as generally Blu are taking teleporter due to the distance between spawn point and CP. Others maps are also working, so, play as you want. People who took a teleporter are having a sort of trail behind them. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally, you know, teleported people tend to run towards your team, so, it's not a problem. ARSONIST -------- *Objective: Kill 50 buildings made by Engineers It's also easy to get it when you're ubered and getting sentries. Anyway, every building is counting: sentry, dispenser, entrance and exit teleporter. It should be easy for you to get it. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. I'm not often ubered but I can destroy buildings like exit teleporters or abandoned dispensers. PYROMANCER ---------- *Objective: Make 1 million of fire damage This is a long achievement, as getting 1 million of fire is really long to do. People tend to say that on servers with only bots, you have to play during two hours straight for getting it. Also, it's not a matter of doing it in one life. Another thing to know is that for adding the damage you're doing to your total, you have to respawn. It's the same for getting the achievement. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally for 500 000 damage and by getting the rest on achievement server. It wasn't 500 000 straight but for example, I was at 465 000, so, I decided to reach the 500 000. It was the last achievement I've unlocked for getting the maximum. OMGWTFBBQ --------- *Objective: Kill a player with a taunt = Requires shotgun/flaregun You have to taunt when you're equipped with shotgun/flaregun. Be near an enemy and perform it. It's an instant kill. Doesn't work during Humiliation Time (when you're the winner and that you can kill the rest of the opponent without fearing shooting). *How did I unlock it? Achievement servers with bots are wonderful for it. CAMP FIRE --------- *Objective: Kill 3 enemies in a row, all within the same area. It's also an easy one. You have just to kill 3 people nearly at the same time and in the same area. You can do it when everyone is massing on their CP for example. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. FIRE AND FORGET --------------- *Objective: Kill 15 enemies while you're dead. Fire is doing wonders: you're killed and so, in wait for a spawn but the people you've ignited before your death can be still killed by your fire. It's easy to get on a normal server, I don't understand why people come to get it on achievement server. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. LUMBERJACK ---------- *Objective: Kill 3 people with the Axe in one life. It's an hard one. Try to kill people during melee without dying. You'll see that it's nearly impossible unless you're in a sudden death - melee only round or if you're on a melee server. *How did I unlock it? Achievement servers with bots are wonderful for it and for bad meleers like me. CLEARCUTTER ----------- *Objective: Kill 6 people with the Axe in one life. It's an hard one. Try to kill people during melee without dying. You'll see that it's nearly impossible unless you're in a sudden death - melee only round or if you're on a melee server. *How did I unlock it? Achievement servers with bots are wonderful for it and for bad meleers like me. FIREWATCH --------- *Objective: Ignite 10 Snipers while they are zoomed in. Igniting any Sniper isn't wise because you need him to zoom for this achievement and if not, it's useless, not for the team though. It's also a easy one as the Sniper's sight while zoomed is reduced, so, you can get them by the side or even by behind. Remember, you're not forced to kill the player. You can use your Flaregun to do it. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. MAKIN BACON' ----------- *Objective: Kill 50 Heavies with the Flamethrower. That's not a tough one but still, killing an Heavy with a Flamethrower isn't as easy as it sounds. Heavies have 300 HP and a Minigun that can really kill you in a matter of seconds. Yet, it's possible to do it. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. BARBEQUEQ --------- *Objective: Make leave the server a dominated player Dominate someone and just hope that he'll quit the server. Or make him ragequit by keeping killing him. Don't be killed by this player though or you loose the domination. *How did I unlock it? I was playing on Steel though I don't remember if I was a Red or Blu but my team won the round and a player I was dominating left the game. I don't know if he was raging against the fact that he lost or he was just leaving because of something else. I was surprised to get it as it was one of the few that I thought that I would get on achievement server. BURN WARD --------- *Objective: Ignite 3 Medics with ubercharge ready but not deployed Usually, Medics are ubering once they have uber. But sometimes, the Medic and his patient must wait the right moment for uber while they're still moving towards destination. This is your chance to ignite the Medic before his uber. You can even make him uber earlier than expected and buy some seconds for your team. To spot a Medic with ubercharge ready, just spot the ones with lightning on their medigun. Don't mistake a kritzkrieg who is currently working and the non deployed ubercharge. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. Trust me, a Medic with uber ready who is too far from the objective (sentries for example) is a great target for you. DANCE DANCE IMMOLATION ---------------------- *Objective: Kill three enemies taunting ATTENTION: Dance Dance Immolation is kinda glitched. Your kills aren't always counting. Well, yes, some players are taunting ingame, like a Sniper for example. And yes, I got it normally. Even Engineers are taunting between them. Or an Heavy taunting with fists for instant kill. So, just kill them when they're taunting, not after the end of the taunt (it often happens because well, it's hard to tell when the enemy will die). It's working also during humilation time. Dance Dance is perhaps a reference to Dance Dance Revolution. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. I suppose that my victims were trying to get Freezer Burn. FREEZER BURN ------------ *Objective: Provide 3 freezecam shots with your taunt to an enemy you killed. For getting this one, avoid all instant respawn servers because you need a time for it and if you don't have time, the enemy doesn't have the freezecam shot, with his killer picture. Kill an enemy, press G for the taunt and the third time, you'll get it. Be aware that the enemy DOES NOT HAVE TO take the screenshot of it. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally, I just taunted when I was sure that I was the killer. I got it quickly. HOTSHOT ------- *Objective: Kill a Soldier by deflecting a critical rocket of his. = Requires Flamethrower - DO NOT USE BACKBURNER = Soldier with Rocket Launcher AND NOT DIRECT HIT strongly recommended. For this achievement, you have to be equipped with the normal Flamethrower, as the Backburner doesn't have an airblast function. Just deflect a blue glowing rocket on the Soldier firing it by right clicking. Be aware that it's not always easy to judge when to airblast. If you're doing it with a friend, ask him to equip the Rocket Launcher instead of the Direct Hit. Indeed, the new weapon is too fast for you to airblast if you're completely new to the concept. *How did I unlock it? On achievement server, I'm not a good airblaster, so, during a fight, it was impossible for me. HOT POTATO ---------- *Objective: Deflect 100 projectiles. = Requires Flamethrower - DO NOT USE BACKBURNER A lot of players think that you have to deflect 100 projectiles only coming from Soldiers. Not only it will a pain in the ass because it's one rocket at the time but also, you have high chance to miss them. The achievement can be done by deflecting stickies on the ground or grenades. Trust me, stickies are a way to get it faster as you can deflect a lot at the same time. Just think that a Demoman can put 8 stickies maximum. Also, when I say deflect, it's the airblast, so, you must be equipped with the normal Flamethrower. *How did I unlock it? 83 projectiles (stickies mainly) were deflected normally. The rest was achieved on the achievement server. FIREFIGHTER ----------- *Objective: Kill 500 enemies as Pyro Just kill, kill and kill enemies. When you'll get this one, you'll be half-way to Firechief. *How did I unlock it? By killing people. Playing normally if you prefer. FIRECHIEF --------- *Objective: Kill 1000 enemies as Pyro Like for Hardcore, you have to kill 1000 enemies but as Pyro. It's an achievement which doesn't require your attention, as if you're playing Pyro, you'll be killing people. Don't forget that it's not in one life. *How did I unlock it? By killing people. Playing normally if you prefer. PYROTECHNICS ------------ *Objective: Kill three enemies in one ubercharge Pyrotechnics can be unlocked while being ubercharged with uber or kritz. Just be ubered and kill three enemies. It's a really easy one to get as Medics are ubering Heavies/Demos/Soldiers/Pyros most of the time. *How did I unlock it? Being ubered at the beginning of Badwater Basin. ATTENTION GETTER ---------------- *Objective: Ignite 100 enemies with the Flaregun. You have to unlock this weapon (first milestone) for getting this achievement. Flaregun can ignite from distance an enemy, so, it can be useful when trying to ignite people in their spawn (Badwater/Goldrush/Dustbowl Stage 1 when on Red) or to ignite people on CP, particularly on E on Steel Map when you have a Scout on it. *How did I unlock it? By throwing flares, mainly on Fastlane. PILOT LIGHT ----------- *Objective: Ignite a rocket jumping Soldier when he's in midair If you remember correctly, Pilot Light was bugged since the 11th December 2008 and an annoying added graphic feature (fire) under rocket jumping Soldier. It was requiring a lot of skill to get it. Since the 21st May 2009, Pilot Light is back to normal. Just ignite a Soldier in the air. Attention, not working on a Soldier already in fire. *How did I unlock it? Before the 11th December 2008. Lucky me. Just by igniting on Badwater Basin a Soldier rocket jumping for getting on the heighs above the tunnel. CONTROLLED BURN --------------- *Objective: Ignite 50 enemies capturing a friendly Control Point. Just stay near your CP and you'll eventually get some Spies, Scouts or anything that want to capture your point. If you're on achievement server where the fight isn't present and that someone is willing to help you to get it, don't kill him or her as igniting is sufficient. In a real fight server, it's easier to kill but even if the opponent dies out of point, he was ignited, so, it has counted. The Payload counts as a control point too. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally on Dustbowl/Well(CP)/Badlands/Steel and every map with CP. Badwater and Goldrush are also good for it. Arena and Koth Maps are also fine. DEAD HEAT --------- *Objective: Kill an enemy in the same second that he kills you. It's somewhere easy to get it: kill an enemy in the same time he'll kill you. It will depend of your opponent's behavior. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally as a Pyro. If you're not thinking about getting that achievement, you'll get it quickly because it will not be what you're searching to do. WEENIE ROAST ------------ *Objective: Have 2 enemy Scouts on fire at the same time Just put fire on 2 Scouts. You can also have Scout rushs on Gravelpit, Granary, Well, Fastlane, Badlands, Lumberyard or Steel. And what about the numerous Scouts with intel? *How did I unlock it? I don't remember where or how, but it was by playing normally. ============= 7. Medic Pack ============= The Medic Pack was released in 2008 and is hard to achieve as the Medic isn't really equipped for kills. The real name of the update was The Gold Rush Update. Milestones: * 10 achievements - Blutsauger * 16 achievements - Kritzkrieg * 22 achievements - Ubersaw Mini-site: http://steamgames.com/tf2/goldrush/ AUTOPSY REPORT -------------- *Objective: Provide a freezecam shot to an enemy you've killed For getting this one, avoid all instant respawn servers because you need a time for it and if you don't have time, the enemy doesn't have the freezecam shot, with his killer picture. Kill an enemy, press G for the taunt and you'll get it. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally though that it was on HK server where we were 3 and we were meleeing. We were speaking about achievement and the HK member let me kill him for it. UBI CONCORDIA, IBI VICTORIA --------------------------- *Objective: Assist in killing three enemies on an enemy Control Point in a single life. There is 4 important points here: 1) ASSIST: You don't have to kill enemies, you have to heal someone killing them 2) THREE: I know that it's hard to get it when you're fighting but one or two enemies aren't sufficient. It's three enemies. 3) ENEMY CP: It's not about people trying to capture your CP, it's about people on their own CP (defending it for example) 4) SINGLE LIFE: Don't be killed. Or else, counter is back to zero. So, basically, you have to heal players that are killing enemies standing on their own CP. All maps with CP will do the trick. I don't think that Payload maps are giving this achievement. *How did I unlock it? On achievement server. Medics aren't really protected when it comes to fighting. *Historical data During an update, developers lowered the number of enemies to be killed: they passed from 5 to 3. BIG PHARMA ---------- *Objective: Assist a Heavy in killing 10 enemies without dying. That achievement is also hard to get as killing 10 enemies without dying is tricky, especially with Spies hanging around you. A spawncamping can be a tactic for it but I don't advise you to do it without checking server rules first. Some are forbidding the spawncamping with an only exit (HK servers are). Why not heal an Heavy defending a CP? It can eventually work, especially if you can deliver some uber. *How did I unlock it? On achievement server. Trust me or not but I was healing an Heavy without thinking about this achievement, I was probably aiming for Blunt Trauma. *Historical data For nearly two years, Bigh Pharma was requiring 20 enemies to kill and not 10. CONSULTATION ------------ *Objective: Assist a fellow Medic in killing five enemies in a single life. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to uber the Medic doing the kills for getting this achievement. You have just to assist him while staying alive. Some people use a Medic/Medic combo for disorienting the other teams. Think about, two ubercharges for one rush! *How did I unlock it? On achievement server. Where I'm playing, generally, a Medic playing combat isn't well seen, especially when you're healing one while teammates are burning to death next to you. AUTOCLAVE --------- *Objective: Assist in burning five enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Pyro. = Requires Medigun - NO KRITZ One of the easiest achievements to get during fight. Indeed, a Pyro is always spraying fire while ubered, so it's easy to get that one if you're not saving it for a sentry. Don't forget that in one singe uber that you need to do it. It isn't working with Kritzkrieg, so, you have to be equipped with normal medigun. *How did I unlock it? By ubering a Pyro while playing. As I've said, it's easy to get this one, especially if you're an advanced Medic and know how to uber. MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGH -------------------- *Objective: Assist in destroying five enemy Engineer Buildings with a single Ubercharge on a Demoman. = Requires a Demoman with normal stickies AND NOT SCOTTISH RESISTANCE It sounds as an easy one but it's not. Engineers don't build next to each other (unless they're newbies in this class) and generally, your ubercharge can't have all because of airblasting Pyro and being pushed back by sentries. Oh yeah, your Demoman has to use his stickies, it's faster and it's deadly. Since the Demoman update, it's weird but you can't get it if your Demo is using Scottish Resistance. *How did I unlock it? Ubering a Demoman for last CP in Dustbowl Stage 2. What is weird is that I also helped someone to get it in the same way. BLUNT TRAUMA ------------ *Objective: Assist in punching two enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Heavy. = Requires Medigun - DO NOT USE KRITZ Like for the other ubercharge achievements, you have to do it in a single ubercharge. Normally, it should be easy to get it during a match but well, you do know that you'll uber Heavies while firing with Miniguns. You can ask him to use his fists or gloves to help you to do it. You're ubered, so, nobody can kill you or the Heavy and it's only two enemies. It doens't work with kritz, so, use your normal medigun for it. Contrary to that, having an Heavy with gloves isn't preventing you to have it. Search the paradox. *How did I unlock it? Ubering a Heavy on achievement server. I didn't want to waste uber for it during a fight. That's also why when I got Photostroika as Heavy, I presented my apologizes to the team for having let them down. YOU'LL FEEL A LITTLE PRICK -------------------------- *Objective: Assist in killing three enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Scout. You have just to uber a Scout who is killing enemies. The problem is the speed of that class: you can't follow him if he's going too far from you. The best way to get it is to ask the Scout to stay near you while he's killing. It can also be during a capture point match whether the Scout is in defense or in attack. It's working with kritz and it's perhaps better to use it as the Scout will kill faster. *How did I unlock it? Ubering a Scout on achievement server. I don't uber Scouts during a match as it's more useful for the team to uber other classes. BLAST ASSIST ------------ *Objective: Assist in exploding five enemies with a single Ubercharge on a Soldier. = Use of a Soldier with Rocket Launcher and NOT DIRECT HIT strongly recommended. Uber a Soldier and pray that five enemies will killed with rockets because it's not easy to do it: there are only 4 rockets before the need to reload and if no crit is firing, it will be tricky. However, if you have kritz, you can have it easily. It's working with it. *How did I unlock it? Ubering a Soldier on achievement server. SECOND OPINION -------------- *Objective: Ubercharge two teammates at once = Requires Medigun - NO KRITZ A Medic knows that if he stops healing while ubered, he'll be the only ubered and will let his partner down. Well, that achievement requires somewhere to let for a second his partner down. But fortunately, it's not really important during a fight. For getting this achievement, you have to go back and forth between 2 teammates very quickly. They have to receive the uber in the same second and as you may know, a second, it's really fast. It can take a couple of tries before getting the achievement. It can work with enemy Spies who are disguised. *How did I unlock it? Again on achievement server. I've tried to get it in different ways during fights, I've tried something on achievement server and if someone didn't get it when I was present, I wouldn't know how to have it. Now, it's my turn to explain it and to show it to Medics. DOUBLE BLIND TRIAL ------------------ *Objective: Deploy an Ubercharge within eight seconds of a nearby enemy Medic deploying his. = Requires Medigun - NO KRITZ When you're sick of these uber achievements (building an uber is long, even with ubersaw as you have to use the saw on an enemy and pray that you're not killed in the process), they're still coming and coming and coming. Fortunately, it's an easy one to get. You have just to deploy an uber 8 seconds after an enemy one. It can be done when you have a setup time, usually Medics are ubering quickly. Sometimes, you can have it without knowing that an enemy Medic deployed it. Don't forget though that you have to be in the same area. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. I deployed an uber without knowing that an enemy Medic was doing the same and if I remember correctly, I didn't read the achievements at that time. So, you understand that I was surprised to see so many achievements unlocked when I returned to TF2 after 9 months of absence. TRAUMA QUEEN ------------ *Objective: Deploy three ubers in 5 minutes or less and assist in killing five enemies. It's easy to get it, I swear it, I did it during a fight. You have sometimes fights where you can retreat and rebuild an uber. I think that you don't need to be alive for it, as the respawn is generally quick (exceeding 20 seconds is a dead end for your achievement). Don't forget that you need with these three ubers 5 enemies in total. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally and by being weirdly spared by the enemy's team. Was it because I was in defense with people? FAMILY PRACTICE --------------- *Objective: Ubercharge 10 Steam Community Friends Again, like for With Friends Like These, you have to have friends in your list. Not one though, no, you need 10 DIFFERENT people for getting it. It should be easy when playing with the same players on the same server. TF2 Wiki is also noting this: "You can �berCharge a friend as a disguised Spy if they are on the other team and it will count towards the achievement". *How did I unlock it? By playing normally - Thanks to HK and HKC for it. PREVENTIVE MEDICINE ------------------- *Objective: Block the enemy from Capturing a Control Point with an Ubercharged teammate. Wait for an half cap of your point and uber a teammate that will go on it. Or uber a teammate killing while he's on it. It can work. It's just a matter of scoring a defense point for your friend. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally but it was a confused battle, so, I do not remember the way I got it. HOUSE CALL ---------- *Objective: Join a Steam Friend in a game and ubering him You just have to join a Steam Friend (if you've got one) and to uber him. The critical point is to be in his team. And when I tried, well, I was always on the opposite team. Well, you should do this one: just use the "Join the game" in the steam windows for getting in the right team. I don't know if it's working though. *How did I unlock it? I wanted to do it normally. Unfortunately, I was on achievement server when it happened. You may know that I'm always ubercharging and giving it to people on the server. I did it to a steam friend who was already on the server when I joined. Harm was done for my ego. TRIAGE ------ *Objective: Deploy an Ubercharge on a teammate less than a second before they are hit by a Critical explosive. = Requires Medigun - NO KRITZ Well, it's something you can have if the enemy Medic deploys kritz and that you deploy your uber on the teammate who will be hit. But it's a question of luck here. Because you don't know when a crit will arrive from the bazooka or from grenade lauchers. It's also working with a teammate who will be hit by his own explosives: Soldier or Demoman. If you have friends and time to kill without forgetting having unlocked the kritz, ask a friend to be Demoman, use the kritzkrieg gun for uber, ask him to shoot a sticky, change for medigun and uber him while he's making his critical sticky explode. *How did I unlock it? Playing normally. I deployed an uber on a Demoman who was going to die and apparently an enemy Demoman just made explode his stickies (among them, a crit). I never saw that crit thing. We were on Badwater, defending the last point and I was on the ramp when the Demo was higher than me. GROUP HEALTH ------------ *Objective: Work with two other Medics to deploy three simultaneous Ubercharges. = Use of Medigun strongly recommended for a better visual timing It's possible to have it at the beginning of a round or when you're three Medics ready to ubercharge for destroying sentries. Contrary to popular belief, it's not ubering the same teammate in the same time. You can uber yourself. *How did I unlock it? Playing normally but I don't remember the fight. PLACEBO EFFECT -------------- *Objective: Kill five enemies in a single life, while having an Ubercharge ready but undeployed. ATTENTION: Placebo effect is known to be kinda glitched. I mean by that that it's not always unlocked despite everything right. Well, this one is hard to have because the Medic isn't equipped for fight. It's not a ridiculous syringue gun or a saw that will save you. And if you're killed with your uber ready, it can be raging for your team. Just be assured to have the consent of everyone, even in the Red team, especially when you're a few on the server and that you know the people. The weapon used isn't important: it can be syringue gun or saw. *How did I unlock it? I'm not a combat Medic. I heal and I uber for destroying sentries or for pushing back the attackers. Add to the fact that in real fight, I can't kill five people as Medic in a single life and you'll understand easily that I got it on achievement server. SURGICAL PREP ------------- *Objective: Have an Ubercharge ready before the set up phase ends. The most easiest achievement in the world. Not even Next of Kindling is as easy as this one. Just build an uber during setup phase and before the end of that time. It should be easy when you're changing map. Badwater, Gold Rush, Well(CP), Dustbowl, Steel, GravelPit are the best maps for it. Every map with a setup time is good for it. *How did I unlock it? As I've said, I'm Medic as main class. It wasn't so difficult to obtain it on a normal server. DOCTOR ASSISTED HOMICIDE ------------------------ *Objective: Assist in killing twenty Nemesis (players dominating you). You have to assist people killing players who are dominating you. As Medic, you're one of the main targets of the opponents: you're healing and you can provide fatal charges. It's not really complicated to be dominated. I'll insist again on this point but it's YOUR nemesis that you have to assist to kill, not someone else's nemesis. This is a common mistake. Another one is to kill the nemesis yourself, no, you HAVE TO ASSIT in the kill. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. PEER REVIEW ----------- *Objective: Kill 50 Medics with the Bonesaw Remember that you need to melee for it, so, not only you're not healing but you're also exposed to be killed. A way to get it without having your team in your back is to do it during sudden death or to do it when it's melee only. Just focus on the enemy Medic. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server, people I'm used to play with will confirm you this: I'm a bad meleer and every kill made is just a moment of a luck. DOES IT HURT WHEN I DO THIS? --------------------------- *Objective: Kill 50 Scouts with the Syringue Gun. You have to kill 50 Scouts and as you may know, they're fast. So, it's a challenge to do it. Just do it on maps like Well(CP) or Granary. There is a lot of Scouts on these maps. Well, just every map with Scout rush for CP or for Intel will do the trick. *How did I unlock it? My five first Scouts were during a fight. The others were on achievement server. INFERNAL MEDICINE ----------------- *Objective: Extinguish 100 burning teammates This one is easy to get during a match. You just have to heal people on fire for extinguishing them. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. BEDSIDE MANNER -------------- *Objective: Be healing a teammate as he achieves an Achievement of his own Play on newbies server for this one, as you'll find new players. Every new class update is a pleasure to do it with players having all except the class achievements. Special events can work. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. SAWBONES -------- *Objective: Hit enemies with the Bonesaw five times in a row without dying or missing. That's also an hard one if you're not a good meleer. Just remember that you can't miss a hit or die. Hitting an Heavy can be a good thing as he has more health and well, as an human being, the player isn't reacting as soon as he's hit for the first time. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server, people I'm used to play with will confirm you this: I'm a bad meleer and every kill made is just a moment of a luck. GRAND ROUNDS ------------ *Objective: Heal 200 teammates after they have called for Medic. It should be easy to get it during a match as a lot of people is calling Medic. So, be a good Medic, don't switch in combat mode. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. MIDWIFE CRISIS -------------- *Objective: Heal an Engineer as he repairs his Sentry Gun while it's under enemy fire. It's easy to get it when you're on Defense/Attack map and in Red team, as building sentries is natural for them and that for Blu, it's normal to get sentries first. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. HYPOCRITICAL OATH ----------------- *Objective: Kill an enemy Spy that was being healed by you Well, it's an hard one because you need to acknowledge that the teammate you're healing is an enemy Spy and it's not always easy to know. Just heal a teammate and check if it's not a Spy after that. A doubt is a doubt. *How did I unlock it? I was trying to get to my team in Badwater and I was healing a Spy without knowing when I heard the friendly Spy say that I was healing one. I did switch to my saw and just try to kill him while he was trying to kill my teammate. I still don't know how I got it. With a melee weapon. And without being killed. And being a Medic naturally. FYI I AM A MEDIC ---------------- *Objective: Use the Bonesaw to kill 5 enemy Spies who have been calling for Medic. Just use your bonesaw on people calling Medic if you're not in the middle of the fights. The achievement is inspired by FYI I AM A SPY coming from TF2 community. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server, I'm not a good spy spotter when I'm a Medic. INTERN ------ *Objective: Accumulate 7000 heal points in a single life. It's nearly impossible to reach it during a match unless you're healing a lot and staying far away from fights. You can unlock it by aiming for the 10 000 HP. Oh yeah, you need to be killed for getting it. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server but there were these player that kept killing everyone and I was lucky enough to reach my 7000 HP though I could truly kill them for SPECIALIST ---------- *Objective: Accumulate 10 000 heal points in a single life. It's nearly impossible to reach it during a match unless you're healing a lot and staying far away from fights. Oh yeah, you need to be killed for getting it. If you don't have Intern but get killed when you have more than 10 000 HP, you'll get also Intern. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server, on a quieter one than my 7000 HP one. CHIEF OF STAFF -------------- *Objective: Accumulate 1 million total health points. A long one to do but just heal, heal and heal and you'll reach it. It's not in a single life and you have to be killed in order to get it. Also, don't panick if you don't see the adding HP ingame in your HUD, it's added when you're respawning. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. PLAY DOCTOR ----------- *Objective: In a team with no Medics, be first to switch to Medic after a teammate calls Medic and heal 500 health points. When you're joining a team and that there is no Medic, just choose any other class. When you're hearing a "Medic", just change to it and heal people. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. FIRST DO NO HARM ---------------- *Objective: Play a full round without killing any enemies and score the highest on a team of six or more players. The goal is to be the first one at the end of the round (not at the end of the entire match). Just choose any class and be the first one until you're largely on top. Switch to Medic and just heal or ubercharge. Don't kill any enemy. *How did I unlock it? I joined a game, I've healed and as much I hate to tell it, it was a weak team. Result is that when it ended some minutes later, I was the top player in my team. Note that it was also the first time that I was the top player. QUADRUPLE BYPASS ---------------- *Objective: Heal a teammate who is taking fire from four enemies at once. It's simple to do. Heal an Heavy at the beginning or end of a round. Normally, you should have a lot of people shooting at him. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. MEDICAL INTERVENTION -------------------- *Objective: Save a falling teammate from dying on impact. Ask a friendly Soldier to rocket jump for you. Just allow him to hurt himself by shooting rockets on a wall then when his health is low, just heal him when he's rocket jumping. *How did I unlock it? Special spot on Medic achievement server I was admin of (the server turned into a normal one). ============= 8. Heavy Pack ============= The Heavy Pack was released in 2008 and isn't the easiest one to achieve because of the slowness of the Heavy and because some achievement require a lot of patience. Milestones: * 10 achievements - Sandvich * 16 achievements - Natasha * 22 achievements - KGB Mini-site: http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/ PHOTOSTROIKA ------------ *Objective: Provide a freezecam shot to an enemy you've killed while ubered For getting this one, avoid all instant respawn servers because you need a time for it and if you don't have time, the enemy doesn't have the freezecam shot, with his killer picture. Kill an enemy while ubered, press G for the taunt and you'll get it. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally, on UKMD server, at the beginning of Badwater Basin. I did it, yes, I let people down for my achievement but trust me, it was only the beginning. PERMANENT REVOLUTION -------------------- *Objective: Kill 5 enemies without spinning down your gun. You can't stop firing for this achievement and kill 5 enemies during this time. It's a good thing to do near a dispenser or while ubered. Much more, use Sasha and not Natasha, Sasha is lethal and giving a lot of crits. *How did I unlock it? On achievement server. Do you really think that I'm a good Heavy? Not at all. KOLLECTIVIZATION ---------------- *Objective: Get 1000 assists Long to have but easy to get as you're required to assist a kill. Playing Heavy regularly should be sufficient. *How did I unlock it? Beginning fairly, finished on achievement server. SOVIET UNION ------------ *Objective: Get 25 enemy kills where you either assist or are assisted by another Heavy Also an easy one as you don't have to do it in a single life. Just stay near an Heavy, the only important thing is that the kill is showing a cooperation of you two when displayed on the screen. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. FACTORY WORKER -------------- *Objective: Kill 20 enemies while being recharged by a dispenser Should be easy to get because well, it's not in a single life. Still, just do in sort that your dispenser isn't destroyed. TF2 Wiki adds that the kills when pushing the cart are also counted. Contrary to a strong belief in some players, IT'S NOT DESTROYING 20 DISPENSERS. *How did I unlock it? I don't know anymore. It could have been during a fight as it could have been on achievement server. FIVE SECONDS TO KILL -------------------- *Objective: Kill an enemy in five seconds or less after having taken a teleporter. Well, that one is also easy to get. As being an Heavy, you're in top priority for teleporters. So, it should be easy to get out near action and to kill in five seconds an enemy. *How did I unlock it? Goldrush, Stage 1, Final point. I was on the building facing the spawn and I killed someone after getting out of teleporter. Was a surprise. SHOW TRIAL ---------- *Objective: Kill an enemy with a taunt = Requires Fists - DO NOT USE GLOVES (KGB) You have to taunt while using your fists. Heavy will be like a cowboy in a duel. Should be easy to get it on people already tauting like a Pyro trying to get Freezer Burn. Doesn't work during humilation time. Don't forget that the gloves have a special taunt related to boxing. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. Yeah, I know. But bots are still so... MARXMAN ------- *Objective: Kill 10 enemies in mid-air with the Minigun Easy to achieve as a simple jump from enemy can do the trick. No need to have a rocket jumping Soldier, a stickies jumper Demoman or a double jumping Scout. Scouts are typically the class which is jumping the most. So perhaps you can focus on them, particularly if you have Natasha. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally, I think it was on Badwater while attacking and trying to get to the last point. PUSHKIN THE KART ---------------- *Objective: Get 50 caps on Payload maps = Maps: Hoodoo, Pipeline, Badwater Basin, Goldrush = TEAM: Blu (except Pipeline) You don't have to cap a checkpoint for getting it, it's just a matter of pushing the cart. So, it should be easy for you to get it. Play Badwater and Goldrush for it. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. I didn't try to get it by creating a server, so, if you've done it by doing that, tell me. STALIN THE KART --------------- *Objective: Block the enemy from moving the payload cart 25 times. = Maps: Hoodoo, Pipeline, Badwater Basin, Goldrush = TEAM: Red (except Pipeline) It's just a matter of blocking the cart when Blu are pushing it. The only problem with this achievement is that it's more difficult than Pushkin the Kart but well, that's because you're in defense and it's always harder to reach the kart when you're an Heavy. A Blu Heavy is healed by the cart, not a Red one. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. I even got some points when HK and HKC players were meleeing. PARTY LOYALTY ------------- *Objective: Kill 50 enemies within 3 seconds of them attacking your Medic As you're a deadly duo, it's normal to see enemies trying to take down your Medic. Apparently, the achievement can be done by killing enemies near your friend. Don't forget that your Medic, if he's hit quickly, can die. What is important is that you're doing it in the 3 seconds after the attack. I have some people on achievement server that saw me firing at their Medic but not killing me while we were doing the achievement. The result is that I needed to hit badly the Medic for a reaction. *How did I unlock it? I don't know anymore. I'm sure to have some kills during matches but I don't remember if I finished on achievement server or not. DIVISION OF LABOR ----------------- *Objective: Kill 10 enemies with a Medic assisting you, where neither of you die This is similar to the Medic achievement Big Pharma, so, use the same strategy: or stay on CP or spawncamp an exit if you can do it. Don't forget to never put your guard down as you have Spies and Snipers who are eager to kill you and your Medic. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. I'm someone who is killed quickly (damn Spies, damn Snipers) so, me as an Heavy alive for 10 kills? No. *Historical data Before the Soldier/Demoman war, Division of Labor required 20 players to kill and not 10. RED OKTOBERFEST --------------- *Objective: Obtain a domination for the Medic healing you Well, it can be easy to do it if you keep killing everyone and protecting your Medic. *How did I unlock it? I don't know anymore. It could have been during a fight as it could have been on achievement server. SOVIET SUPREME -------------- *Objective: Get 50 ubercharges This one is also easy to get as being an Heavy, you'll be ubercharged/kritz often. Also, if by this point, you have KGB (gloves), use them. A kill is making a crit bonus for five seconds and it's counting as ubercharge for the achievement. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally and before getting KGB. Meaning that I have 50 Medic ubercharges. PURGE ----- *Objective: Kill 15 enemies capturing a control point you own. This one should be easy to reach on maps like Dustbowl, Fastlane or Granary. Just stay in defense on a CP or hidden near it and kill people who is trying to get it. *How did I unlock it? My lucky day on first point in our base on Granary. I just stayed on the CP and I got: Lenin a Hand, Gorky Parked and Purge. GORKY PARKED ------------ *Objective: Kill 25 enemies while standing on your capture point This one should be easy to reach on maps like Dustbowl, Fastlane or Granary. Just stay in defense on a CP kill people who is trying to get it, whether they are on it or not. *How did I unlock it? My lucky day on first point in our base on Granary. I just stayed on the CP and I got: Lenin a Hand, Gorky Parked and Purge. LENIN A HAND ------------ *Objective: Help 5 teammates to kill their nemesis The easy way to get it is to ask a Medic if he has nemesis and focusing on killing them. *How did I unlock it? My lucky day on first point in our base on Granary. I just stayed on the CP and I got: Lenin a Hand, Gorky Parked and Purge. DON'T TOUCH SANDWICH -------------------- *Objective: Kill 50 Scouts with Natasha This achievement can only be done after getting Natasha, or if you prefer, the second Heavy milestone (16 achievements). Natasha must be equipped instead of Sasha, the normal Minigun. Natasha is a slowing weapon, meaning that you can kill easily Scouts because they're slowed down. The story with Sandwichs is probably coming from the Scout trailer where a Scout is stealing the Heavy's Sandwich. *How did I unlock it? Beginning fairly, finished on achievement server. At that time, Natasha for me wasn't as deadly as the Minigun and I did want to switch weapons without having to worry for this achievement. That's why it was finished on achievement server. IRON CURTAIN ------------ *Objective: Take 1000 points of damage in a single life. The goal is to be hurt and to heal you with medikits or with a Medic. You have to live long enough to get it. Note that if you're overkilled by a backstab, it can trigger it as the damage taken is counting. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. I don't remember how or when but I'm pretty sure to have been surprised to have been alive enough for getting it. REDISTRIBUTION OF HEALTH ------------------------ *Objective: Take 1000 points of damage in a single life and heal them with medikit The goal is to be hurt and to heal you with medikits and only with that. If a Medic is healing you, it's dead for this one as you can be healed pretty quickly before you've taken the pack. Just be aware that only the health healed and not the maximum of health that can provide a pack will count. Also, going to the supply room isn't counting. For the Medics, just ask them not to heal you fully or to overheal you. *How did I unlock it? Medic achievement server. There is a damagefield near medikits, so, it was easy to get it like that. CROCK BLOCK ----------- *Objective: Survive a critical rocket Well, that one can be easy to have. A Soldier can fire a crit to you and you can survive it. But attention, you have to be at full HP for getting it or to be healed by a Medic, otherwise you're killed. Eat also Sandwichs, it's healing you. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. It was Goldrush, Stage 1. RASPUTIN -------- *Objective: Be burned, hit by melee weapon, shooted and hit by explosives in a single life. It should be easy to get it as being shooted, burned or hit by explosives is common. The melee weapon is not but a Spy or a Pyro with Axestinguisher can be your savior. Also, as there are more Scouts (since Scout pack), it can be possible that you can see a Scout trying to bat you. A good way to do it is to: be hit by a rocket, be hit by a shotgun shot, being hit by a shovel and being burned. At least, it's what I'm doing when I help for that. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. Yes, I did it! RATIONING --------- *Objective: Kill an enemy with shotgun with no ammo left for your Minigun. It's just a matter of having an empty Minigun and the shotgun equipped (because if Sandwich is, it will not work) and to avoid ammo or abandoned weapons for refilling the Minigun. Try to empty your Minigun during a setup time and to kill an enemy after without taking ammo. Just go for Scout or Medic. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. Sorry but I didn't manage to kill someone with my shotgun unless being Engineer. Not even by being Pyro or Soldier. KRAZY IVAN ---------- *Objective: Kill 100 enemies underwater while you're also underwater = Maps: 2Fort, Well(CP) Krazy Ivan is a long achievement as you'll not have 100 enemies running in water for you. If a Pyro is trying to get Baptism by Fire, why not wait for your victims underwater? *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. Thanks to the owner of it. He was my Medic during that time. SPYALECTICAL MATERIALISM ------------------------ *Objective: Kill or assist in killing 10 cloaked Spies. ATTENTION: Spyalectical Materialism is kinda glitched. Your kills aren't always counting. The goal here is to kill Spies who are cloaked. Normally, you can do it easily when you know that a Spy is near you or when you're defending a sentry and that a Spy just runs in your line of fire. Also, if you're assisting someone to kill it, it should be sufficient. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. HEAVY INDUSTRY -------------- *Objective: Fire $200,000 worth of Minigun rounds in a single life It took +/- 1 minute 45 seconds according to TF2 Wiki to get it. You just have to be near a dispenser or near ammo for getting it. The easy way to do it is to ask your team during setup time if you can continuing firing in the spawn for a minute after the beginning of the round. Normally, they shouldn't be bothered by it if after that, you're coming out for helping them. If you're on a server with serious play, forget it. Go on newbies servers as they're more inclined to that kind of request. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. If what I described was on my mind at the time, I would have it normally. COMMUNIST MANI-FESTO -------------------- *Objective: Kill an enemy with a critical punch Kill an enemy with a critical punch? Yes but you have to be cautious because the others will shoot at you. Being ubered or kritz during it can be a plus as having the KGB. Humilation time isn't counting. The best way to do it is when it's meleeing time or a meleeing server. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. I'm not a good meleer. Really. BORSTCH BELT ------------ *Objective: Kill 10 Heavies with KGB. KGB is the last weapon to be unlocked, so, you have to reach 22 achievements for getting it. Just kill 10 with KGB.... what? No, no, no! THE ENEMY HEAVY ISN'T REQUIRED TO HAVE KGB. It's just killing him with your own gloves Like Communist Mani-Festo, it's only by meleeing you'll get it, so, try it only on melee servers. Or being ubered by a Medic during a normal fight. *How did I unlock it? By meleeing while waiting more people on HK server. CRIME AND PUNISHMENT -------------------- *Objective: Kill 10 enemies carrying your intel = Maps: Turbine, Sawmill, 2Fort, Well(CTF) ATTENTION: Crime and Punishment is kinda glitched. Your kills aren't always counting. Like the Pyro Cooking the Books, you have to play on a map with intel to steal: Turbine, 2Fort and Well(CTF) are approriated. Just kill everyone picking up your intel. If one weapon isn't working, switch to another. Don't use Natasha for this achievement. In 99%, it's not giving you the kill. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. 2Fort as an Heavy wasn't appealing for me. I prefer to be Sniper or Pyro or Demoman. SOVIET BLOCK ------------ *Objective: Block the progress of an invulnerable Heavy while being in defense and invulnerable = Maps: Dustbowl, Badwater Basin, GravelPit, Junction, Egypt, Gold Rush, Hoodoo, Steel = TEAM: Red That means: 1) You have to join an attack/defense map. Blu is attacking and Red is defending 2) You have to be ubered and it must be the same for the Blu Heavy. 3) You have to block him by being in front of him. The beginning of a round will probably do the trick as ubers are ready and as Medics are ubering quickly. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally... well, we were four on Dustbowl Stage 1 and I asked a favor to the players: doing this achievement. HK members were there and kindly helped me to have it. CLASS STRUGGLE -------------- *Objective: Work with a friendly Medic to kill an enemy Heavy & Medic pair ATTENTION: Class Struggle is kinda glitched. It's not always working when it should. You have to be healed and kill another Heavy/Medic pair. It can be difficult as the Medic will naturally run away if you kill the Heavy first, so, you can still kill him first and then the Heavy. Or you can do it by sneaking behind their back. Try also do it when ubercharged, it should be easier. *How did I unlock it? By playing normally, on Goldrush, Stage 1, last checkpoint. I don't remember if I was Red or Blu but I got it. I got it also with no uber, in the middle of the action. VANGUARD PARTY -------------- *Objective: Be the first on your team to start capturing a control point in a round You have to reach the first the CP and began the capture. You're perhaps slower but you can be the first to get it if you're lucky. Try also the create a server trick and choose Dustbowl, it should be quick to get it. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. Though I could have use the trick with create a server. OWN THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION --------------------------- *Objective: Destroy 20 stickies by killing the Demoman deploying them. Contrary to popular belief, destroying the stickies with shotgun (great update anyway - as it's confusing people) will not give you the achievement or advancing in it. You have to KILL THE DEMOMAN who deployed them. Perhaps not easy to get but it's not unreachable. Not like Hypocritical Oath or everything with "in a single life". *How did I unlock it? By playing normally. KONSPICUOUS KONSUMPTION ----------------------- *Objective: Eat 100 Sandwiches Very boring achievement with a weapon who isn't one. You have to unlock it for getting this one. It's first milestone (10 achievements). Anyway, just eat during setup time, it will be faster than eating it during a fight. *How did I unlock it? By eating during setup time ICING ON THE CAKE ----------------- *Objective: Kill 20 players you're dominating Just kill players you're dominating. Pray only that they don't took revenge just after domination. It should be easy to get if you're lasting long as Heavy. You're not forced to kill 20 different players or to do it in one life or to kill 20 times a player you're dominating. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. I'm not dominating when I'm Heavy. I can dominate with sentries, Demoman, Sniper or Pyro. ============= 8. Scout Pack ============= Scout Pack has come this 24th Feb. 2009. It's kinda hard to get them. First of all, I used this trick for getting bots on "create a server", as I couldn't enter servers with that particles/water problem that was solved later. Just enable the console in options>advanced. Create a server with the chosen map. Open it by pressing � or ~ according if you're an AZERTY or a QWERTY user. Type in it: sv_cheats 1 bot -class scout bot_mimic 1 (if you want them to move) sv_cheats 0 retry If you don't want your bot to move again, it's: bot_mimic 0. Milestones: * 10 achievements - Force-A-Nature * 16 achievements - Sandman * 22 achievements - Bonk! Atomic Punch Minisite: http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/ A YEAR TO REMEMBER ------------------ *Objective: Kill 2004 enemies Well, it's pretty simple, you have to kill 2004 enemies, in a same way as Hardcore, Firechief or Firefighter. My lack of skill in that class has forced me to do it on achievement server. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server RACE FOR THE PENNANT -------------------- *Objective: Run 25 kilometers As it's not in one life, just run, run and run. Being killed is only mattering for the play, not for the kilometers. You need to respawn for getting your add or the achievement. *How did I unlock it? Running around in the create a server trick or normally (achievement server/ round) I'M BAT MAN ----------- *Objective: Survive 500 damage in one life It's mirroring Iron Kurtain or Resdribution of Health for Heavy but it's less damage to take... for the weaker class in health. So, unless you're healed by an Medic or you're in an area with medikits, you'll have some hard time for it. Also, you can use the way I did. *How did I unlock it? Create a server (I used Turbine), just climb up an edge and jump from it. You should hurt yourself. Be sure that a medipack is near you. Repeat it until you get it. ARTFUL DODGER ------------- *Objective: Dodge 1000 damage in a single life using your Bonk! Atomic Punch. = Requires Bonk! Energy Drink. This achievement is requiring an unlockable weapon, the Atomic Punch or if you prefer, your energy drink. You don't have to do it in one drink, no, it's in one life. You can be hit by bullets or explosive or fire, you're invulnerable during this time. You can do it in one drink if an Heavy is shooting you while you're standing still in a corner. *How did I unlock it? If I can't survive 500 damage in one life, do you really think that I can dodge 1000 damage with the energy drink? Welcome to Achievement server. A Steam friend just use rockets on me. RETIRE THE RUNNER ----------------- *Objective: Kill a Scout under the effect of the Crit-O-Cola As the item isn't awarded by a milestone, you have to find a Scout having it (by crafting it or by the drop system). Kill him while he's under the effect (with critical signs showing without a medic or without being in a arena map where nobody has been killed). *How did I unlock it? Previous requirements. *Historical data The achievement was changed during an update. The previous requirements are following: *Objective: Kill a Scout while they are snared by the post-dodge slowdown effect. When you're drinking this drink, for some seconds after the effects, you'll be slowing down. So, it's easy to know when to kill the Scout. Just pay attention to a Scout that drank the drink and when he's slowing down, kill him. DOCTORING THE BALL ------------------ *Objective: Kill 3 enemies while under the effects of a Medic's �berCharge. This is the same achievement as the Medic You'll feel a little prick, so, it's also the same way to do it. Just don't run too much ahead as your Medic can't follow your speed. It will be easier with Kritzkrieg. *How did I unlock it? With a Steam friend, returning favor each other on an achievement server (with a lot of Scouts asking for Medic - on a pyro map!) BATTING THE DOCTOR ------------------ *Objective: Kill a Medic that is ready to deploy an �berCharge. Having a lot of hours of Medic (my favorite class so far), it's understandable that I hate this achievement. It's also understandable that I don't give gifts to the enemy Medic but knowing what it is like to have players pursuing you for the sole achievement and not playing with the team, I unlocked it on achievement server. Just kill a Medic running with an ubercharge or a kritzkrieg charge that is not deployed and you'll score. *How did I unlock it? By batting a friendly friend on achievement server. OUT OF THE PARK --------------- *Objective: Bat an enemy 25 meters. = Requires the Sandman Well, that one is easier than it's looking. Just taunt with the Sandman on a distracted enemy. You should get it once you've launched him far away from you. Do it in an open area and don't throw them into the nearby environment though. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server CAUGHT NAPPING -------------- *Objective: Kill 50 enemies from behind with the Force-A-Nature. You need the first unlockable, the Force-A-Nature, for it. Like Hot on your Heels, you need to kill enemies by behind. But the Force-A-Nature isn't the Flamethrower or the Backburner. Anyway, just try to get behind enemy lines and kill a lot. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. FALL CLASSIC ------------ *Objective: Cause an environmental death or suicide using the Force-A-Nature's knockback. For that, Steel and Hydro seem the most appropriated for it. Just use the FaN on a enemy near a deep hole for the environmental death. Because a suicide? Will be hard on good players. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. FOUL TERRITORY -------------- *Objective: Cause an environmental death by stunning an enemy. = Requires the Sandman Stun an enemy and push him into a deep hole, it should do the trick. It can work with water though. But the fastest way is still the fall. Steel and Hydro seem to be adapted for it. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server with damagefield BEANBALL -------- *Objective: Stun a Scout with their own ball. = Requires the Sandman Here is the trick: when you see an enemy Scout launching his ball, just throw away yours, try to take his ball by walking on it and launch it on him. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server MOONSHOT -------- *Objective: Stun an enemy for the maximum possible duration by hitting them with a long-range ball. = Requires the Sandman Well, that one can be pretty hard. You have to be at a distance that is not too close to the enemy or not too far. Aim also higher than usual for getting it. Launch your ball. It's harder on a moving enemy than someone still. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server on a bot. THE BIG HURT ------------ *Obejctive: Stun 2 Medics ready to deploy Ubercharge. = Requires the Sandman The achievement changed during an update, making that achievement easier than before. You have to stun with your Sandman two Medics with ubercharge ready but before they're deploying it. *How did I unlock it? By having done the previous requirements for it. *Historical data The achievement was changed during an update. The previous requirements are following: *Objective: Stun 25 �berCharged enemies. If you remember correctly, Medics must kill Scouts with syringue gun for getting an achievement. If Batting The Doctor is a way to return the favor, this one is really appropriated for your vendetta. Not only stunning an ubered (and not a Kritz one) Medic is interrupting the uber on his teammate but also, you're just showing to him that you can hurt (remember the title of the achievement: Does it hurt when I do this?). STRIKE ZONE ----------- *Objective: Kill 50 enemies while they are stunned. = Requires the Sandman if you're stunning them yourself You're not obliged to have the Sandman to do it, you can kill an enemy stunned by another Scout. But if you want to stun them yourself, the Sandman is required. Stun an enemy or wait for one to be stunned and kill him. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server, by stunning them myself BRUSHBACK --------- *Objective: Stun 50 enemies while they are capturing a point or pushing the cart. = Requires the Sandman Just launch a ball on the enemies behind a cart or on a point of yours. While stunned, they can't cap or push anymore. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server but try to do it when you're admin, teleporting bots for you and suddenly surrounded by four or five Scouts stealing your points. At the end, you're just teleporting bots for everyone except you. BLOCK THE PLATE --------------- *Objective: Block 50 point captures. The easiest way to do it if you want to get it normally is to play on Fastlane, Well or Granary, especially when you're not the first Scout to reach the neutral middle point or when Scouts are trying to push into your base. It's also working with Payload maps. You're not forced to kill the enemy though. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server but try to do it when you're admin, teleporting bots for you and suddenly surrounded by four or five Scouts stealing your points. At the end, you're just teleporting bots for everyone except you. TRIPLE PLAY ----------- *Objective: Capture three capture points in a row in one life. The best map to do it is Well or Granary. Just cap a point then run to the other then cap, then run to the others. While trying not to be killed. *How did I unlock it? By creating a server, map: Granary. STEALING HOME ------------- *Objective: Start capping a capture point within a second of it becoming available. When the enemy just captured a point, just be near it to start capping it quickly. Don't try maps like Gravel Pit, you will have more chances to get it on Granary, Fastlane, Badlands, Freight and Well(CP). *How did I unlock it? By creating a server, map: Granary and spawning a bot that is mimicking my movement. I got him on middle point, he capped it and immediatly I start capping it without forgetting to kill him. First try, achievement done, youhou! SET THE TABLE ------------- *Objective: Initiate 10 point captures that ultimately succeed. You just have to initiate them, you're not forced to capture it. Your team must be able to capture it if they're good and if the enemy is a weaker team than yours. *How did I unlock it? By creating a server, map: Granary. SIDE RETIRED ------------ *Objective: Capture the last point in a CP map. Be among people capturing the last point in a map like Egypt, Dustbowl, Steel, Well(CP), Granary, Fastlane, etc. Well, everything that have capture points. Doesn't work with payload maps. *How did I unlock it? By creating a server, map: Granary BATTER UP --------- *Objective: Perform 1000 double jumps. That one is pretty simple, just keep double jumping. Also, you can do it during setup time if you're a Scout forgetting to double jump. 2Fort and Steel are really worthy for it with the double jump on the roof and on E. Doesn't work during humiliation time. *How did I unlock it? With the trick create a server. While doing other achievements, I just double jumped all the way. POP FLY ------- *Objective: Kill 20 players while double-jumping. Double jump and kill enemies. Easy, no? Not if you're not used to be Scout. *How did I unlock it? Creating a server, with bots moving. Particles/water wasn't already solved. NO HITTER --------- *Objective: Steal and then capture the enemy intelligence without firing a shot. = Maps: Sawmill, 2Fort, Turbine, Well(CTF) Pretty easy if you're logging on an empty server with 2Fort or Well(CTF). It can be also during a melee match or with the create a server trick. *How did I unlock it? Creating a server, map: 2Fort BELITTLED BELEAUGER ------------------- *Objective: Kill an opposing player that has your intelligence while holding theirs. = Maps: Sawmill, 2Fort, Turbine, Well(CTF) Just kill someone with your intel on his back while you have his on yours. *How did I unlock it? As I was having that particles/water problem, I create a server, spawn a bot, made him mimic my movements (by using the console and the tip given earlier), run to the intel and once he got it, I've written in console bot_mimic 0 and I run to my intel room where I killed the bot. ROUND TRIPPER ------------- *Objective: Capture the enemy intelligence 25 times = Maps: Sawmill, 2Fort, Turbine, Well(CTF) It's requiring you to capture 25 times the intel. Use a small map like Turbine to get it quickly. I think it's working with a dropped intel. *How did I unlock it? With the create a server trick, map: Turbine. TRIPLE STEAL ------------ *Objective: Capture the enemy intelligence 3 times in a single CTF round. = Maps: Sawmill, 2Fort, Turbine, Well(CTF) That one requires you to do all the job on CTF round, like Turbine, Well or 2Forts... I'm kidding. As I understand it, the safer way to get it is to steal and capture it, as a lot of Scouts can do but you can also cap a lost intel, I mean, you don't have to carry it all the way. You can drop it than take it - I've done it when I wanted to see that purse in spawn in 2Fort. You have to be the one to cap it. *How did I unlock it? Dear 2Fort on listen server, you know, the create a server trick. QUICK HOOK ---------- *Objective: Kill a player in Well before the round starts. I'm offensed by this one. I'm not setup killing because it's not enjoyable if you have 20 seconds before respawn. 20 seconds, it's very long you know. Also, if you want this one, don't play on a server that isn't allowing setup killing. Don't try this on HK servers, you can argue that it's for achievement but they won't listen to that poor excuse. Because servers rules are servers rules and are above achievements. So, find a server who is allowing it, ask him to be or Scout or Soldier or Demoman, well anything that can pass the train (with the FAN for the Scout). Or use your own FAN for reaching the wagons. *How did I unlock it? With a Steam friend on an empty server with Well DODGERS: 1, GIANTS: 0 --------------------- *Objective: Kill an enemy Heavy and take his Sandwich. If this one wasn't included, a lot of us would have been deceived. After the trailer Meet the Scout (with the battle with an Heavy for the Sandwich) and the Don't touch Sandwich achievement in Heavy Pack, it was obvious that for the Scout, there would be an achievement with Heavy and Sandwich. First, be hurt if the Heavy didn't do it, kill him while he has Sandwich out and walk on the food when he's dead. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server FIRST BLOOD ----------- *Objective: Get the first kill in an Arena match. That's it, an Arena achievement. Just be the first to kill someone. *How did I unlock it? On a French server, lagging to death, on a Pyro who seemed to lag more than me and we were only two or three on the server. FIRST BLOOD PART 2 ------------------ *Objective: Kill 5 enemies with the First Blood crit buff. When you get a first kill in Arena, you should get a special bonus. It's a free critical which lasts some seconds, so kill enemies after getting it. It doesn't have to be 5 enemies in a row, it's impossible anyway. *How did I unlock it? I went on an achievement server which was recommended by a Steam Friend, I type in chat !givemeall. Don't do that if you don't want to miss the fun to get achievements normally or if you don't want to be punished by Valve (thanks god when they decided to punish people after SvS, I wasn't included in it - I did that trick two or three months before). THE CYCLE --------- *Objective: In a single life, kill an enemy while you are on the ground, in the air, and in the water. You have to play on maps with water. Well and 2Fort are indicated for it, just kill someone in water, when you're jumping and when you're on the ground. Just don't be killed while trying to get it. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. GUN DOWN -------- *Objective: Destroy an active sentry gun using your pistol. This one can be pretty bad. So, don't attack level 3 sentries. Just attack level 1 while ubered or behind a protection or even safe at long range. *How did I unlock it? Asking to a Steam friend on achievement server to build it and protected by a wall. CLOSER ------ *Objective: Destroy 3 teleporter entrances. Well, here, it will be a run towards enemy spawn point, as you will find the entrance teleporters there. One of the easiest maps to do is Goldrush Stage 1 and 2, last CP, given the fact that there aren't 4 or 5 Engineers with sentries. Don't count on the energy drink because you'll find someone ready to kill you after it. It doesn't work during humiliation time. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server IF YOU BUILD IT --------------- *Objective: Destroy 3 enemy buildings while they are still under construction. You have to be near an enemy Engineer trying to build. As it's taking time for the buildings to be active, just destroy it during that time. Beware of servers with instant builds, it will not work. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. =========== 9. Spy Pack =========== The Spy was released the 21st May 2009, at the same time of Sniper. It's the beginning of a new era but also tricky achievements for those who aren't great Spies. Minisite: http://www.teamfortress.com/sniper_vs_spy/day01_english.htm Milestones: * 5 achievements - Ambassador * 11 achievements - Cloak and Dagger * 17 achievements - Dead Ringer THE MAN FROM P.U.N.C.T.U.R.E. ----------------------------- *Objective: Stab an enemy while fencing. You have to taunt with the knife for this one. Just do it on people unaware of your presence. *How did I unlock it? With friends on normal server FOR YOUR EYES ONLY ------------------ *Objective: Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you flicking a cigarette onto their corpse. Don't go on instant respawn servers, as there is no freezecam shot provided. You have to do the usual stuff for that kind of achievement, well apart one thing. Kill an enemy who is standing in a corner with any weapon then switch quickly to the disguise kit and taunt. Be sure that the cigarette is touching the body or else, you're not having it. That's why I'm recommending you to do it with an enemy in a corner, at least, the corpse will not fly away like he does with a backstab. *How did I unlock it? With a friend with the way described above (2Fort) SLASH AND BURN -------------- *Objective: Backstab an enemy, who then switches to Pyro before they respawn. Well, you have to kill an enemy that will switches to Pyro before respawn. But not everyone is switching to Pyro after being backstabbed. So I advise you to do it with a friend. Why? Because backstabbing a Pyro isn't unlocking the achievement. You can go on any server (apart Arena), even instant respawn. Why? Well, there is a way that can guarantee you the success of the operation. Ask your friend to go in: options>multiplayer>advanced, to check if the option 'Suicide after switching classes' is checked or not (if yes, uncheck it). When it's done, ask him to spawn in anything, to get out of spawn and to choose the class he'll respawn after death - well, he doesn't have a choice, he needs to choose Pyro. Kill him and wait for respawn. If it's instant respawn, you'll get the achievement a second after death. If not, just wait until the respawn. *How did I unlock it? With someone I don't know that explain how to do it if you're the one helping BURN NOTICE ----------- *Objective: Survive 30 seconds after being ignited while cloaked. Be cloaked, run into a Pyro spraying fire then retreat if possible. Take a medipack if you need it or run into water if there is any pool and you have just to wait for 30 seconds after the ignition. It's long, very long. So be sure to find the right hidden spot. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on achievement server I'm not admin of CONSTRUCTUS INTERRUPTUS ----------------------- *Objective: Kill an Engineer working on a sentry What does that mean? It means that the Engi must be wrenching the sentry if you want to get it. Backstab him but if you can escape the death from the sentry after, it will be good. Anyway, try perhaps to do it when the sentry is still level 1, you have more chances to survive than with rockets in your face. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server (2Fort) SAP AUTEUR ---------- *Objective: Sap 1000 Engineer buildings. Try to sap and destroy a lot of buildings. It can be long (unless you're on a multibuild server) but well, don't forget that killing the Engi while the sentry is sapped is a good way to assure a win. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server JOINT OPERATION --------------- *Objective: Sap an enemy sentry within 3 seconds of a teammate sapping another. Ask a teammate of yours to be near a sentry while you're next to another one. Don't forget to stay in the same area for a better view of the moment you'll have to sap. Also, be disguised for not being killed. It doesn't matter who saps first, you and your friend just need to sap both in 3 seconds. It's not working with sentries from the same Engineer though. *How did I unlock it? With friends on normal server (2Fort) SAPSUCKER --------- *Objective: Sap an enemy building, then backstab the Engineer who built it within 5 seconds. Sap an enemy building then kill the Engineer trying to destroy your sapper just after. It's possible to do it when you're sapping the sentry. Generally, the Engi will try to destroy the sapper before trying to get you. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server (2Fort) THE MAN WITH BROKEN GUNS ------------------------ *Objective: Backstab an Engineer, then sap 3 of his buildings within 10 seconds Just to be sure: 1) BACKSTAB 2) SAP and not the other way around. The best way to do it is perhaps to kill quickly the Engi, then to sap the sentry before you're killed, the dispenser and the teleporter exit that must be near it. Or else, ask a friend to build for your a dispenser, a teleporter entrance and an exit. It will work safely. It's not working on three buildings of the same type. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server (2Fort) SPYMASTER --------- *Objective: Backstab 1000 enemies Just a word: backstab. Just backstab for it. You don't need anything else. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server FYI I'M A SPY ------------- *Objective: Backstab a Medic who has healed you in the last 5 seconds. The achievement is directly inspired by the TF2 Community and it's also an answer to FYI I'M A MEDIC for Medic. Just call Medic, be healed, try to get behind him/her and stab to death. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server (2Fort Balcony) DR. NOOOO --------- *Objective: Kill a Medic ready to deploy uber. Just find a Medic with 100% ready and kill him before he's ubering someone. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server (2Fort Balcony) INSURANCE FRAUD --------------- *Objective: Kill an enemy while you're being healed by an enemy Medic. Call Medic, be healed then backstab an enemy while you're still healed. If you use the Ambassador or the gun, it will not work as you must be healed. Which means you have to do an instant kill for it. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server (2Fort Balcony) MAY I CUT IN? ------------- *Objective: Backstab an enemy and the Medic healing him within 10 seconds of each other. The goal is to kill a Medic and the enemy he's healing in 10 seconds maximum. You can kill first the Medic and then the enemy but I know by experience that it's unlocked when you kill first the enemy and then the Medic. Sometimes, you have to wait 10 seconds between each kill. As for the moment to get it, just wait near enemy spawn point, you have often Medic following someone else for getting an uber. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server (2Fort Balcony) WETWORK ------- *Objective: Stab an enemy to death while under the influence of Jarate. The achievement can be misunderstood, mainly when it's translated. So, it's time to put an end to people trying to backstab players with jarate on us. In reality, you have to be the one under the influence of Jarate and you have to backstab someone while having a yellow sight. So, don't forget, just find a Sniper that will jarate you and then kill someone (or the Sniper). *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server AGENT PROVOCATEUR ----------------- *Objective: Backstab your Steam Community friends 10 times. Something very easy to do: just backstab the same friend 10 times. You don't need it to be ten different people. *How did I unlock it? By backstabbing a friend with whom I was doing achievement on a normal server. A CUT ABOVE ----------- *Objective: Kill a gun-wielding Spy with your knife. Just find a Spy with gun out and backstab him. You'll probably can get him at spawn or when he's shooting from long range. *How did I unlock it? By backstabbing a friend with whom I was doing achievement on a normal server. DEEP UNDERCOVER --------------- *Objective: While using the Cloak and Dagger, kill the same enemy 3 times, all within the same area in a single life. So, what does it mean? It means that you need the Cloak and Dagger and to cloak with it. Then uncloak when you see a good prey, kill him and stay in the area or retreat somewhere else if you're pursued. A good location to get it is... the Sniper balcony in 2Fort! You'll find Snipers there, always the same players and it's easy to hide there. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server COUNTER ESPIONAGE ----------------- *Objective: Backstab a disguised Spy. Just backstab people you think they're Spies. But try also to do it while being disguised. As sometimes, there are problems to get it normally, ask a friend to be disguised as Spy. It should work. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server SLEEPER AGENT ------------- *Objective: Kill an enemy who triggered your feign death in the last 20 seconds. = Requires the Dead Ringer It's the weapon given at third milestone. So what you have to do? You have to be carrying it, right click and then let you shoot until you're feigning your death. Use the 8 seconds of cloaking for getting behind the enemy who "killed" you and kill him. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server COME IN FROM THE COLD --------------------- *Objective: Get a Revenge kill with a backstab. Just be dominated by a player and backstab him. Well, at least, choose well your opponent. *How did I unlock it? By backstabbing a friend with whom I was doing achievement on a normal server. HIGH VALUE TARGET ----------------- *Objective: Backstab an enemy who is dominating 3 or more of your teammates. What does it imply? It's implying that you need to find someone skilled enough for dominating three or more players in your team (you included). So, check for Heavies, Spies, Snipers, Engineers or Demomen for it. It can work with the others but Pyros are the most deadly weapon against Spies, Scouts are fast and Soldiers.... well, Soldiers, I don't feel them like being nemesis. As for the Medics, the more you let them in peace, the more I'm happy. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server YOU ONLY SHIV THRICE -------------------- *Objective: Backstab 3 enemies within 10 seconds. Just kill three people in the same area. It can be done if nobody is seeing you. The 2fort balcony can be good if you have three Snipers on it for example. Don't forget that you need to backstab and that you have 10 seconds to do it. *How did I unlock it? By backstabbing people accepting to help me for it on a normal server. IDENTITY THEFT -------------- *Objective: Backstab the enemy that you're currently disguised as. Just disguise and with the name written in your HUD, start to find the enemy you're disguised as. Use perhaps Cloak and Dagger for infiltrating enemy lines and staying at one point for sighting your prey. Just be sure to come by behind for him or her not to see you. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SURFACE ------------------------------- *Objective: Start capping a capture point within a second of it becoming available. When the enemy just captured a point, just be near it to start capping it quickly. Don't try maps like Gravel Pit, you will have more chances to get it on Granary, Fastlane, Badlands and Well(CP). *How did I unlock it? With friends on normal server (Well(CP)) POINT BREAKER ------------- *Objective: Kill 15 enemies staying on their CP You have to kill people staying on THEIR CP and not on their yours. The easy way to get it is to find someone defending it while on it, like an Heavy doing Purge or Gorky Parked. Or even Scouts doing Block the Plate. Be sure that you're coming without being spotted. Try also to retreat near the point. When you're spotted, you're the target, so... *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server and achievement server IS IT SAFE? ----------- *Objective: Backstab 50 enemies who are capturing control points. Just kill people trying to capture your point. It's easy to do, easier to do than some achievements requiring you to be alive or to be behind enemy lines. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server and achievement server TRIPLECROSSED ------------- *Objective: Backstab 3 Snipers in a single life. Well, you're surely knowing by now that I will send you on the Sniper deck of 2Fort. But do you know that it can be done on the roof near second point in Badwater. Anyway, it's true that you'll find more Snipers on 2Fort than on Badwater. Just kill the Snipers that are there. You're not obliged to kill three different people, you can wait until one is back for killing. Hey, you can backstab three times the same player for it. Just avoid to be killed. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server DIE ANOTHER WAY --------------- *Objective: Kill a Sniper after your backstab breaks his Razorback. Find a Sniper with Razorback, break it and when you can backstab again, kill him if he's not quick to turn around and to chase you. Otherwise, well, fight him. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server THE MELBOURNE SUPREMACY ----------------------- *Objective: Dominate an enemy Sniper Well, just dominate a Sniper and you'll get it. Do it eventually with all the Snipers that can get on 2Fort balconies. Or use the Ambassador for shooting them from long range. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server (2Fort) SKULLPLUGGERY ------------- *Objective: Headshot 20 Snipers with the Ambassador. Use the Ambassador to headshoot Snipers. Don't forget that generally, you'll have to wait some seconds before using it properly to get an headshot, so, be sure to be skilled with it or to find a good hiding place. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server, not the one I'm admin of. DIPLOMACY --------- *Objective: Kill 50 enemies with the Ambassador. No need for headshot but just 50 kills with the Ambassador. If you're skilled enough, you can get easy kills with it. Otherwise, just use it as a normal gun if you're not at ease with sniping. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server WHO'S YOUR DADDY? ----------------- *Objective: Headshot 3 Scouts with the Ambassador. You need the Ambassador for it. For headshooting a Scout, use the way described above. Don't forget that the Scout isn't required to jump, so, it's any Scout you're seeing who becomes your prey. The irony of the story? The Ambassador is engraved with Scout's Mom and since the video Meet the Spy, we do know that Red Spy is having an hot relationship with Blu Scout's Mom... *How did I unlock it? With a friend on an achievement server I'm not admin of SPIES LIKE US ------------- *Objective: While cloaked, bump into an enemy cloaked Spy. It's easy... with friends. But hey, just be cloaked and run. Perhaps you'll bump into a Spy. Or just be cloaked with Cloak and Dagger then if you see a Spy cloaking, just run into him (or her). *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server -- AND NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE SPECIAL VALVE ACHIEVEMENT ONLY FOR THEM -- It's a reference to the video Meet the Spy being leaked in YouTube. WELCOME TO THE INTERNETS: Fail to understand what 'Private' means on YouTube. =============== 11. Sniper Pack =============== The Sniper Pack is out in the same time as the Spy Pack, with a new weapon system, with the first hats and with new maps. Done in May, that update has given birth to idling servers (meaning that you can be on a server doing nothing for hours, for having hats) and has made stronger achievements servers with idling permitted. Minisite: http://www.teamfortress.com/sniper_vs_spy/day01_english.htm Milestones: * 5 achievements - Hunstman (Bow) * 11 achievements - Jarate * 17 achievements - Razorback TRUST YOUR FEELINGS ------------------- *Objective: Get 5 kills with the Sniper Rifle without your scope. For that one, you can't zoom in. You have to run into the middle of the fight for getting it because at long range, it's impossible. Also, it's not in one life so... *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server BE EFFICIENT ------------ *Objective: Get 3 kills with the Sniper Rifle without missing a shot. Your goal is to kill three enemies without missing a shot. It can be done with no scope but well, try to get still targets like Heavies with Sandwich or Snipers forgetting to take cover. It's not in one life, so, being killed doesn't matter. *How did I unlock it? On a normal server with a friend MY BRILLIANT CAREER ------------------- *Objective: Top the scoreboard 10 times on teams of 6 or more players. Your goal is to be on top of the scoreboard (after a round, not after an entire play) on a team of 6 or more. A way to do it is to play your best class, reach first place and switch to Sniper just a minute before the end of the round or when you feel that the round will end. *How did I unlock it? While doing by myself the Halloween achievements with bots. NOT A CRAZED GUNMAN, DAD ------------------------ *Objective: Kill three enemies achieving an objective in one life. The goal here is simply to kill people pushing a cart, capping a point or carrying intel for scoring a defense point. But pay attention to your life, you can't respawn between kills. The name of the achievement is a reference to the Meet the Sniper video. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server, trying to figure how that one was working KILL EVERYONE YOU MEET ---------------------- *Objective: Kill 1000 enemies Just a simple word: kill. Kill, kill and kill and don't be afraid to be killed. What else can I say? *How did I unlock it? Killing for achievement, killing some bots and killing players that were too busy to kill me when I said not to. TRIPLE PREY ----------- *Objective: In a single round, kill the same enemy with three different weapons. = Requires Huntsman/Sniper Rifle/Kukri/Submachine Gun Don't use Jarate or Razorback, it will not help you to get that achievement. Just kill the same enemy during a single round with your rifle, your bow, your kukri or your submachine gun. Perhaps that a Spy near you can do the trick. *How did I unlock it? On a normal server with a friend SOCKET TO HIM ------------- *Objective: Headshot an enemy Demoman. Pretty easy compared to some. Use your Sniper Rifle for accuracy and shoot a Demoman. You can try to do it while he's in the air for another achievement... Or simply headshoot him at the beginning of a round. *How did I unlock it? On a normal server with a friend JUMPER STUMPER -------------- *Objective: Kill a rocket or grenade-jumping enemy in midair with your Sniper Rifle or the Huntsman. Just kill in the air a rocket/grenade jumping. It's not with an headshot so as the Soldier or Demoman will be hurt, a single shot can kill. Just be sure to be near edges. *How did I unlock it? On a normal server with a friend - I remember, it was Badwater. HAVE A PLAN ----------- *Objective: Capture the flag in CTF = Maps: 2Fort, Turbine, Sawmill, Well(CTF) Just take a dropped intel and run in the capture point for it. Don't bother to be the one stealing it, it's always easier when the intel is dropped... near your base. Or you can create your own server with a CTF map and steal the intel. *How did I unlock it? With the create a server trick ENEMY AT THE GATE ----------------- *Objective: Kill an opponent within the first second of the round. Just choose maps with setup time for it. When the round begins, shoot an enemy that isn't wise enough to protect himself. Or if TF2 Wiki is right, just stay in the spawn for killing during the match. *How did I unlock it? On Badwater with friends DROPPED DEAD ------------ *Objective: Kill a Scout in midair with your Sniper Rifle or the Huntsman Even if Scouts are fast, there is a way to get them dead in air: 2Fort and the balconies. I remember having dominated a Scout like that... before the update. Well, now, just kill Scouts jumping with one of the two weapons mentionned in the achievement. *How did I unlock it? Good question, I don't remember DE-SENTRY-LIZED --------------- *Objective: Destroy 3 Engineer sentry guns. The best way to do it is to kill sentries still being build, in other words, sentries that aren't active. But you can also destroy easily level 3 sentries if you kill the Engi first and if you're using your Sniper Rifle (which I recommend to carry for that achievement). *How did I unlock it? On a normal server with a friend AUSTRALIAN RULES ---------------- *Objective: Dominate an enemy Sniper Just dominate a Sniper for getting it. Perhaps it's the balcony of 2Fort that is the ideal ground for it... if you have some skills for the character. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on a normal server SELF-DESTRUCT SEQUENCE ---------------------- *Objective: Headshot 10 enemy Snipers. Just use 2Fort and the balconies for getting the achievement. You should be able to snipe some of your enemies from there. Also, no matter if you're killed unless you're doing Australian Rules. As usual, I recommend Sniper Rifle if you're not used to Huntsman. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on a normal server BE POLITE --------- *Objective: Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you doffing your hat. Don't go on instant respawn servers, as there is no freezecam shot provided. You have to do the usual stuff for that kind of achievement. Kill an enemy with the Kukri and taunt (press G). Or kill someone with anything else and switch to Kukri and taunt. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server THE LAST WAVE ------------- *Objective: Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you waving to them. Don't go on instant respawn servers, as there is no freezecam shot provided. You have to do the usual stuff for that kind of achievement. Kill an enemy with the Sniper Rifle and taunt (press G). Or kill someone with anything else and switch *How did I unlock it? With a friend on a normal server SHAFTED ------- *Objective: Stab an enemy with an arrow. Just taunt on a enemy with your bow... But attention, Heavies aren't always killed by your taunt. Just do it on people not paying attention. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server DEAD RECKONING -------------- *Objective: Kill an enemy with an arrow while you're dead. It can work on any server, even those with fast or instant respawn, providing the fact that you're just killed after shooting your arrow. But for a better efficiency, it's recommended to do it on servers with normal respawn time and to shoot a target which is far of you. The farther it is, better are your chances to get it. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server with instant respawn where the player killing me managed to do it before I killed a bot. ROBINN' HOOD ---------- *Objective: Take down an intelligence carrier with a single arrow. = Requires the Huntsman = Maps: 2Fort, Turbine, Sawmill, Well(CTF) Play on CTF maps (2Fort, Turbine, Sawmill or Well) and kill with your bow an enemy carrying your intel. It can be also an interesting way to do Not a Crazed Gunman, Dad. PINCUSHION ---------- *Objective: Hit an enemy with 3 arrows, without killing them. = Requires the Huntsman Choose an Heavy, just shoot arrows at him and you should get it. It's better when he's overhealed. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server, after getting Huntsman WILLIAM TELL OVERKILL ---------------------- *Objective: Pin an Heavy to a wall = Requires the Hunstman. Just headshoot an Heavy near a wall with your bow. It will better work with a non-moving Heavy but well, if you're doing it the normal way, just try to find one eating Sandwich if you want a still target. *How did I unlock it? I don't remember, probably with a friend. BEAUX AND ARROWS ---------------- *Objective: Kill a Heavy & Medic pair with the bow. = Requires the Huntsman Contrary to popular belief, it's not in one or two shots that you have to kill the pair. But just don't shoot 6 arrows in the Heavy, it will not work. The goal is to kill the Heavy first with a maximum of 4 arrows and the Medic after with a maximum of 2 arrows. Try to heatshoot as it's faster to kill. Sometimes, you have to kill first the Medic then the Heavy. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server UBERECTOMY ---------- *Objective: Kill a Medic ready to deploy an uber The famous achievement with a Medic with uber ready but killed before using it. Why are Medics the favorite target of everyone? Anyway, it can be killed with any weapons but try to do an instant kill, it's known that a Medic with low health will uber himself or someone near for not wasting it. *How did I unlock it? With friends. PARTING SHOT ------------ *Objective: Headshot an enemy player the moment his invulnerability wears off. If the choice of weapon isn't mattering, I'm advising you strongly to use the Sniper Rifle, more reliable for it than the Huntsman. Just shoot someone who is getting of uber. IT CAN BE THE MEDIC OR THE PLAYER HE'S UBERING, contrary to popular belief that you have to kill absolutely the ubered player and not the Medic. *How did I unlock it? With a friend on normal server RAIN ON THEIR PARADE -------------------- *Objective: Jarate an enemy and the Medic healing him. Just find an enemy being healed and throw your jar of piss on them. It's not necessarily with a Demoman like depicted in the icon, it's working with all classes. *How did I unlock it? Normal server with friends. SATURATION BOMBING ------------------ *Objective: Jarate 4 enemy players with a single throw Just jarate a group of four or more players. It can be done on CP or at the beginning of a round. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server RODE HARD, PUT AWAY WET ----------------------- *Objective: Jarate an enemy that you're dominating. When you're dominating someone, throw on him/her jarate. But how to recognize dominated players? Well just throw jarate, you'll get it eventually. Beware not to be killed by dominated players before throwing the Jarate. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server, after getting Jarate. NUMBER ONE ASSISTANT -------------------- *Objective: Score 5 assists with the Jarate in a single round. The best way to do it is to jarate people at a gate when the round begins or to jarate players that will be killed soon by a teammate. Be conscious that it's assist and not a kill by yourself (jarate then kill for example). *How did I unlock it? Achievement server JARATE CHOP ----------- *Objective: Jarate and then kill 3 enemies with your Kukri. ATTENTION: Jarate Chop is kinda glitched. You're not always having it despite doing the right move. As TF2 Wiki is saying, "Remember, it cannot be three separate players, but all in the same group, all hit with the same Jarate. " So you have to throw Jarate on a group of three players (or more) and to achieve them with Kukri. Having an uber or a kritz can be useful. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server FRIENDSHIP IS GOLDEN -------------------- *Objective: Extinguish a burning teammate with your Jarate. When you see a burning teammate near you, throw a jarate on him. Or if you're on fire, throw the jar at your feeth. It will be unlocked. *How did I unlock it? I don't remember it was by extinguish myself or not. JARRING TRANSITION ------------------ *Objective: Use Jarate to reveal a cloaked Spy. If you're seeing a Spy in a process of invisibility or if you're bumping into a cloaked one, just throw Jarate on him. Also, you can throw Jarate on a burning Spy. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server SHOOT THE BREEZE ---------------- *Objective: Kill a fully invisible Spy in a single hit. ATTENTION: Shoot the Breeze is kinda glitched. You're not always unlocking it despite doing everything right. Shoot a cloaked Spy with a single hit can be a pain in the ass: you have to guess where he's headed. Or shoot every possible hidding place like corners for example. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server CONSOLATION PRIZE ----------------- *Objective: Get backstabbed 50 times. Don't wear Razorback if you want to get it easily. If you know that a Spy is near you, you have two choices: or you let you backstab for the achievement or you choose to fight him for the team's sake. It's up to you. *How did I unlock it? The owner of the server I'm admin of teleported me quickly for the backstab. Since, I'm doing the same for the others. KOOK THE SPOOK -------------- *Objective: Kill 10 Spies with Kukri You just have to kill Spies with your Kukri. The easy way to do it is to chase them with that weapon when you know that one is near you. It doesn't matter if they're cloaked or disguised or not. *How did I unlock it? With friends on normal server SHOCK TREATMENT --------------- *Objective: Kill a Spy who destroyed your Razorback Have your Razorback with you, pay attention on when you heard and see your shield being destroyed and kill the Spy during the seconds he can't attack. But don't forget that an advanced Spy will not attempt to destroy it. He will try to kill you with the Ambassador. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server. Razorback was the item I've been given during the week without the milestones. So, when they arrived, I had all. ================ 12. Soldier Pack ================ The Soldier Pack came the 17th December 2009, with a war against the Demoman during the previous week. The Soldier won the war and got the gunboats as extra weapons, if you can call it a weapon. Milestones: * 5 achievements - Equalizer (Pickaxe) * 11 achievements - Direct Hit * 17 achievements - Buff Banner Minisite: http://www.teamfortress.com/war/administrator/ Specific to Soldier: http://www.teamfortress.com/soldierupdate/ MEDALS OF HONOR --------------- *Objective: Finish a round as an MVP 10 times. Just be in the top three at the end of a round and you'll be credited. Being the first is the most comfortable place. As for other achievements requiring a top place, play any classe you want and when you're sure enough to be the first in your team, when the clock is ticking one minute or when you're feeling that you're gonna win (or lose) the round, change to Soldier. *How did I unlock it? Using bots on my own server, with koth_harvest_event. See above (Scout section) for the commands. GENEVA CONTRAVENTION -------------------- *Objective: Kill 5 defenseless players after a single match has ended. It's an hard achievement but it can be done if a lot of players are staying in their spawn after a defeat and if you're just near it, at least, the first to be in. Ask for your team to be the only killer and go kill people. *How did I unlock it? Using bots on my own server, with koth_harvest_event. See above (Scout section) for the commands. The goal here is to be sure to have all the bots in the same place. RIDE OF THE VALKARTIE --------------------- *Objective: Ride the cart for 30 seconds. = Requires a Payload Map: Gold Rush, Badwater, Hoodoo or Pipeline. It's simple to do if you're not doing it in a match, even if you're in a good team, it's possible for you to ride any cart. Or you log into an empty server, you join the BLU team if you're not on Pipeline and you ride the cart. Or you create your server and you ride the cart. *How did I unlock it? I don't remember if it was in an empty server or on my own. Anyway, it wasn't during a match. HAMBURGER HILL -------------- *Objective: Defend a cap point 30 times. You need to defend your cap (or your cart or the intel according to TF2 Wiki) which means you have to score a defense point. You can kill the players trying to take your point or just come on it when the capture is half way. *How did I unlock it? I think that it was on achievement server, trying to teleport bots for myself but as usual, with a bunch of players around me, attracted by the bots... THE LONGEST DAZE ---------------- *Objective: Kill 5 stunned players = Requires a good friend with Sandman Each time you see a stunned player, kill him. The better for you is to have a friend playing Scout and who will stun for you. Don't forget that the better is to have a critical stun as the enemy will be longer in a certain daze. *How did I unlock it? A friend stunned bots for me. WAR CRY SPYBUNAL ---------------- *Objective: Kill a Spy who just backstabbed a teammate. Kill a Spy that is in your range and that just backstabbed a teammate. If the Spy is using Dead Ringer, it will not work unless you killed him after he showed himself again. *How did I unlock it? With friends. GORE-A! GORE-A! GORE-A! ----------------------- *Objective: Provide the enemy with a freezecam of you taunting over 3 of their body parts. Kill someone and taunt. You need to have three body parts in the same screen and trust me, it's hard. Using the Direct Hit is better for me. *How did I unlock it? Don't ask me why but I was really trying to get it and didn't manage to do it. And then suddenly, I got it. It was during a match I think. WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS ---------------------- *Objective: Provide the enemy with a freezecam of your 21 gun salute. = Requires the Shotgun Kill someone with your shotgun and taunt after. Do it on servers with respawn time. Or you can kill someone with any other weapon and then switch quickly to your shotgun. *How did I unlock it? With a friend. SPRAY OF DEFEAT --------------- *Objective: Use a grenade to gib a player. = Requires the Equalizer Just taunt when you have the Equalizer out. If you're lucky enough to kill two players with it, you can unlock Death from Above. *How did I unlock it? After finally receiving my Equalizer, I've taunted on bots. FRAGS OF OUR FATHERS -------------------- *Objective: Gib 1000 people. This achievement is similar to burn 500 players or to kill 1000 players as a Spy. It means one thing: it's boring to do 0 from 1000 in a single session, it's long and it's not really important to do it quickly. Just kill people and when you reach 1000, you're scoring it. *How did I unlock it? As many of us, on a server with bots which aren't moving. BROTHERS IN HARMS ----------------- *Objective: Kill 10 enemies while assisting or being assisted by another Soldier. The goal here is to play with another Soldier and kill with him enemies. Just be sure to follow him (or to make him follow you). *How did I unlock it? With bots. WAR CRIME AND PUNISHMENT ------------------------ *Objective: In a single life, kill 3 enemies who have damaged a Medic that is healing you. Be healed, be sure to spot an enemy hurting your Medic (like a Pyro or a Scout) and kill the enemy. Just try not to die or to find medikits or another Medic if yours died. Remember, it's in a single life. If you're defending, it can be easily done for me. *How did I unlock it? With friends. S*M*A*S*H --------- *Objective: Assist a Medic in exploding 5 enemies with a single �berCharge. = Requires the Rocket Launcher The usual uber achievement is also there. As in Blast Assist for Medic, blast five players in a single ubercharge. Using the normal Rocket Launcher is really advised. I couldn't help with Direct Hit, so, I'm supposing that there is something with it that is preventing to get it. The use of the Kritz is also recommended. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server with bots. GUNS OF THE NAVAR0WNED ---------------------- *Objective: Kill 5 Engineer sentries while you are standing outside of their range. Just be sure to kill level 1 sentries when you're out of their range. Or you can try to kill level 3 but level 1 are weaker. Be sure that Engineer isn't around or it will be a real pain in the ass (or destroy the dispenser first if there is one near). *How did I unlock it? With friends on achievement server. ENGINEER TO ETERNITY -------------------- *Objective: Kill an Engineer as he repairs his sentry gun while it's under enemy fire. Well, kill an Engi repairing his gun from a safe distance and from an angle that will not destroy the sentry before his maker's death. It's better when you're on an Attack/Defense map. *How did I unlock it? On the achievement server I'm admin of, the sentry is normally forbidden unless you're doing it for help. And for being sure to discourage Engineers, the build time for the sentry is nearly a minute. It's perfect for Engineer to Eternity. I've asked someone to attack a sentry when the Engi says now, with a single shot from a shotgun and then I killed the Engi repairing the building with shovel or shotgun. MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION ---------------------------- *Objective: Kill an enemy Sniper with a rocket after he kills you. You have several options for this one. Or you're in any normal server with respawn time (yeah you need respawn time), you send a rocket to a Sniper, he kills you and while you're dead, you kill him. 2Fort can be a good map for it. Or you're in a server without respawn time (or bots), what you have to do here isn't really the way Valve wanted the achievement to work. Just use the normal rocket launcher, stay near a Sniper (a friend or a bot) and send rockets. If you're lucky enough, you'll kill the bot and yourself and you will have the achievement. *How did I unlock it? With the second way I've explained, it took me a long time to discover how to get it on an instant respawn server. SEMPER FRY ---------- *Objective: Kill 20 enemies while you are on fire. Just be sure to be lighted by an enemy Pyro and kill him if he's pursuing you. Once on fire, kill people. It's not in one life and besides, you can be healed at anytime. *How did I unlock it? Asking a friend to light me and to die by my hands. BACKRAFT DODGER --------------- *Objective: Kill a Pyro who has airblasted one of your rockets in the last 10 seconds. = Use of the Rocket Launcher strongly recommended Well, if you see a Pyro airblasting your rocket, there will be a moment he will fail and will be killed or hurt enough to get a second rocket in his face. Just fire the four rockets without reloading. It can be disturbing for the Pyro. Direct Hit is too fast for non-skilled Pyros, so, I advise you to use the normal Rocket Launcher. *How did I unlock it? With friends. AIN'T GOT TIME TO BLEED ----------------------- *Objective: Kill 3 players with the Equalizer in a single life without being healed. Well, it's not hard to do: Medics can't heal you with Equalizer out and avoid to take a medikit. Kill 3 players with your Pickaxe without being killed. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server with bots. NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE --------------------- *Objective: Kill 20 enemies with your Equalizer while you have less than 25 health. The goal here is to be under 25 health and to kill people with your Equalizer. I won't say you can do it under enemy fire but it's better to try to do it one against one then two against one. Being under 25 health is just a ticket to a certain death if you're not fast enough. So when you're sure you can beat an enemy, do it. *How did I unlock it? With bots. DUTY BOUND ---------- *Objective: While rocket jumping kill an enemy with the Equalizer before you land. This one can be tricky to do. You have to rocket jump, to switch to your Equalizer and during your jump, kill someone whether it's in air like you, at the end of your jump or a player on a high platform. *How did I unlock it? By killing a friend while we were both in air. DEATH FROM ABOVE ---------------- *Objective: Rocket jump and kill 2 enemies before you land. Rocketjump and kill two players beyond you. You can also rocketjump and kill people near you when you do it. Or you can use the Equalizer taunt on distracted players near you. *How did I unlock it? With friends. WINGS OF GLORY -------------- *Objective: Kill an enemy Soldier while both you and the target are airborne. I would say that the Equalizer taunt can work here but the better way to do it is to kill a Soldier trying to rocket jump. You can try it on maps where a rocket jump is used a lot like on Steel point E. *How did I unlock it? With friends. WHERE EAGLES DARE ----------------- *Objective: Get the highest possible rocket jump using jump and crouch. Just jump, crouch and send a rocket under you for this one. Be sure to be on a map with enough room to do it, some are having roofs or an hidden top wall that would prevent you to reach the normal height. I suggest you a map like Gorge. *How did I unlock it? On cp_gorge, near the middle point. SCREAMIN'EAGLE -------------- *Objective: Kill 20 enemies from above. That one can be easy if you can manage to get on a roof for example and to kill people from it. Indeed, you don't need to be airbone for it, just be sure to be higher than your target. *How did I unlock it? With bots and by rocket jumping. Trust me, the first day, you're messing up with the achievements, especially when you have a double update. DEATH FROM BELOW ---------------- *Objective: Kill 10 opponents who are airborne with the Direct Hit. Get the Direct Hit and be sure to kill everything airbone. It can Soldier, Scout or Demoman but you can also kill people blast away by a rocket or a sticky. Be sure to be under them though. *How did I unlock it? With a friend rocket jumping while I was trying to aim. TRI-SPLATTERAL DAMAGE --------------------- *Objective: Kill 3 enemies with a single critical rocket. This one can be done with a Medic with Kritz so, don't be afraid to ask for a kritz and to aim into a group. It's already hard to get a critical rocket if you're not a good Soldier, so... *How did I unlock it? On bots and without Kritz Medic. CROCKETS ARE SUCH B.S. ---------------------- *Objective: Shoot two non-boosted crit rockets in a row. This one can be hard because you can't ask for a Medic with Kritz and you have to last long enough while killing for shooting two crit rockets in a row, which isn't the frequent case. So be sure to keep a high rate of damage done. *How did I unlock it? Aiming for bots. FOR WHOM SHE TROLLS ------------------- *Objective: Bounce an opponent into the air with a rocket and then kill them with the shotgun before they land. That one isn't as simple as it sounds because you need to switch quickly from your bazooka to your shotgun and to kill a player with at least one good shot before landing. Trust me, landing is very fast and if the player isn't weakened enough by your rocket, it can be a dead end for you. I suggest you to leave the idea to do it with an Heavy as I'm pretty sure that you will fail in almost every case. If you're doing with friends, it's better that the one playing the poor victim stay in a corner. *How did I unlock it? On cp_gorge, in a corner. BOMB SQUADIE ------------ *Objective: Destroy 10 sticky bombs with the shotgun in a single life. How to find a lot of stickies to kill in one life? Under sentries or on enemy points where you can find at least 7 stickies. Don't forget to stay alive (or perhaps try to go for it with an uber). But the best way is to ask a friend to put stickies for you on an empty server. *How did I unlock it? With a friend DOMINATOR --------- *Objective: Get 3 dominations in a single life. Dominate three players in the same life and you'll unlock it. It can be pretty hard to do but if you're doing well (for example kill three players by avoiding to be killed by them and being killed in between by others), I'm sure you can get the achievement. *How did I unlock it? With bots. TRENCH WARFARE -------------- *Objective: Kill your nemesis with a shovel. Let you dominate by someone then kill the player with your shovel. Be sure to pick a weakened enemy (or weaken it by yourself or by friends) because well, rushing to an Heavy with full-health, healed by a Medic, will result in an imminent death and a total failure from your part. *How did I unlock it? With a friend, it's again the best way to get it without having to rush. BANNER OF BROTHERS ------------------ *Objective: Buff 5 steam friends at once with the Buff Banner. Your goal here is to buff 5 people in your friends list at the same time. Just play with people you're used to, be sure they're in your team and buff them. Or sent invites to people in your team. It can work. *How did I unlock it? Friends and adding friends on achievement server. THE BOOSTIE BOYS ---------------- *Objective: Buff 15 teammates with the Buff Banner in a single life. The goal here isn't to buff 15 players at the same time but to buff them in a single life. For example, you can buff 10 players and in a second time, 5. You'll get the achievement... if you're staying alive. *How did I unlock it? With bots. OUT, DAMNED SCOT! ----------------- *Objective: Kill 500 enemy Demomen It's perhaps not the hardest achievement but it's a long one. You have to kill 500 Demomen. Just think about how many hours you can spent on it... if you're not going in a server with bots. Because with bots, it can be faster than you can think. Choose your option. *How did I unlock it? Teleporting the only Demoman bot for myself and hiding, even if I was always discovered. ================ 13. Demoman Pack ================ The Demoman Pack came the 17th December 2009, with a war against the Soldier during the previous week. He lost it and will never receive the extra weapons. Milestones: * 5 achievements - Chargin'Targe (Shield) * 11 achievements - Eyelander (Sword) * 17 achievements - Scottish Resistance Minisite: http://www.teamfortress.com/war/administrator/ Specific to Demoman: http://www.teamfortress.com/demomanupdate/ TARTAN SPARTAN -------------- *Objective: Do 1 million points of total blast damage. Use everything that blasts: grenades, stickies and just kill, kill, kill and kill. Don't forget that dying will add to your total the current damage you've done. So don't be afraid to be killed. It is a long one, even with bots. *How did I unlock it? With bots BRAVEHURT --------- *Objective: Kill 20 players defending a capture point or cart. The goal here is to be sure to get on an enemy point and to kill them while on it. Another one is to put a lot of stickies near the cart and to blow the riders up. *How did I unlock it? Achievement server, while teleporting bots the points and finishing them with my melee weapon. WELL PLAID! ----------- *Objective: Kill 10 enemies while assisting or being assisted by another Demoman. The goal here is to play with another Demoman and kill with him enemies. Just be sure to follow him (or to make him follow you). *How did I unlock it? With bots. THE TARGE CHARGE ---------------- *Objective: Charge and kill someone with your shield bash. = Requires the Shield For a good charge, be sure to be at a good distance (not too close or not too far), right click and just enter in contact with your prey. Don't forget that a charge isn't killing right away someone with a good amount of health, so, it's better when the player is critically wounded. Last thing: DON'T LEFT CLICK WHEN YOU'RE ENTERING IN CONTACT WITH YOUR ENEMY OR THE ACHIEVEMENT WILL NEVER UNLOCK. *How did I unlock it? I don't remember. KILT IN ACTION -------------- *Objective: Kill 500 Soldiers. It's perhaps not the hardest achievement but it's a long one. You have to kill 500 Soldiers. Just think about how many hours you can spent on it... if you're not going in a server with bots. Because with bots, it can be faster than you can think. Choose your option. *How did I unlock it? Teleporting the only Soldier bot for myself and hiding, even if I was always discovered. SLAMMY SLAYVIS WOUNDYA ---------------------- *Objective: Decapitate an enemy Soldier who is brandishing the Equalizer. ATTENTION: Not always unlocking the first time = Requires the Eyelander As you can see, you have to kill a Soldier with Equalizer out with your sword. A good way to do it is to join melee server or to play maps where you're sure there will be a sudden death. Just for you to know, don't taunt, you just have to attack with it (left click of the mouse). *How did I unlock it? With a friend. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE --------------------- *Objective: Decapitate your nemesis. ATTENTION: Not always unlocking the first time = Requires the Eyelander Be dominated and find after your nemesis and be sure to kill him. As for the Soldier, it's always better when he has low health. Just for you to know, don't taunt, you just have to attack with it (left click of the mouse). *How did I unlock it? With a friend. SHORN CONNERY ------------- *Objective: Decapitate a cloaked Spy. ATTENTION: Not always unlocking when it should. = Requires the Eyelander Spot a Spy who is cloaking and try to kill him. I suppose it's easier if you're running as a madman around him but it's also good to spot him while he thinks he's alone. Just for you to know, don't taunt, you just have to attack with it (left click of the mouse). *How did I unlock it? With a friend that gently stayed in a corner BRAINSPOTTING ------------- *Objective: Decapitate 50 enemy players. Just use your Eyelander normally or by taunting and you should have 50 heads to show next time to your mommy (read the comic relating the how of the war). *How did I unlock it? With bots. LEFT 4 HEADS ------------ *Objective: Decapitate 4 players with only 10 seconds between each kill. Just use your Eyelander normally on a small group (four at least) with at least quick deaths. Being on a melee server is probably the best way to get it. *How did I unlock it? With bots. BEAT ME UP, SCOTTY ------------------ *Objective: Use a full charge critical swing with the Eyelander to kill 5 enemy players. = Use of the Chargin' Targe recommended Or you get a Medic with kritz to help you or you just use the critical option that your shield is letting you have. Just charge from a certain distance and use your sword you're near an enemy while having your weapon glowing with electricity (meaning you're having critical swings). *How did I unlock it? See above. SCOTCH TAP ---------- *Objective: Glory in the slaughter of your enemies using the Eyelander. Just taunt with your sword and kill someone. Try it on distracted players. *How did I unlock it? I don't remember, perhaps on bots. BLOODY MERRY ------------ *Objective: Provide an enemy player with a freeze cam of your smiling face. Just kill someone and taunt with your grenades launcher. You should get it. *How did I unlock it? If I remember correctly, the first day of update was really messed up with weapons not unlocked, with an instable backpack and with achievements not working correctly or at all. So, this one, I got it while taunting with my bottle... SECOND EYE ---------- *Objective: Provide an enemy player with a freeze cam of you shaking your rump. = Requires the Scottish Resistance Just kill someone and taunt with your Scottish Resistance. You should get it. *How did I unlock it? If I remember correctly, the first day of update was really messed up with weapons not unlocked, with an instable backpack and with achievements not working correctly or at all. So, this one, I got it while taunting with my grenades launcher... CABER TOSS ---------- *Objective: Bounce an enemy into the air and kill them before they land. That one isn't as simple as it sounds because you need to make the enemy bounce in the air and kill it while it's still in it. If the player isn't weakened enough, it can be hard. If you're doing with friends, it's better that the one playing the poor victim stay in a corner. *How did I unlock it? I don't remember honestly. SOMETHING STICKIED THIS WAY COMES --------------------------------- *Objective: Kill 30 players with air burst sticky bombs. The goal here is to make explode the bombs while it's still in the air. Trying to burst them from a higher place is a good way to do it, aim a little higher than usual also. *How did I unlock it? The normal way and not with a Pyro airblasting my stickies. THE SCOTTISH PLAY ----------------- *Objective: Get a melee kill while sticky jumping. This one can be tricky to do. You have to sticky jump, to switch to your melee weapon and during your jump, kill someone whether it's in air like you, at the end of your jump or a player on a high platform. *How did I unlock it? By killing a friend while we were both in air. THE HIGH ROAD ------------- *Objective: Sticky jump onto a cap point and capture it. The goal here is to be the first on the point or on a point that isn't currently showing your color (capture being interrupted). So, be sure to have the first place for assuring the achievement. *How did I unlock it? On cp_gorge, the first day of the update. HIGH LAND FLING --------------- *Objective: Sticky jump a really long way... This one is kinda hard: place two stickies near each other (for preference: Sticky Launcher), run towards them, pass them and once you're just behind the second one, make them explode for having a long fling. You can crouch if you want. *How did I unlock it? On cp_gorge, with a friend that found the answer and showed me. DOUBLE MAULED SCOTCH -------------------- *Objective: Kill 2 people in a single sticky jump. Sticky jump and kill two players beyond you. You can also sticky jump and kill people near you when you do it. Or you can also place stickies near enemies and jump in a safe place. *How did I unlock it? With bots, because the first try results in having Sticky Thump in a weird way. THE STICKENING -------------- *Objective: Kill 5 Heavies from full health with a single sticky bomb detonation. Contrary to a popular belief, it's NOT WITH ONE STICKY you have to play. You can put several ones as far as they're exploding in the same time. Be sure that the Heavy isn't overhealed or at least at full health. Perhaps that here the spawn camping is your friend for doing it but I advise you to do it on servers that are allowing it. Also, Heavies near dispensers can be good targets. HE WHO CELT IT -------------- *Objective: Use the Sticky Launcher to kill an enemy player via environmental damage. Just push to his death a player that is nearing the point E on Steel, I'm pretty sure it will be a point for you. Or ask someone to help you by jumping while you're blasting them away if the height isn't a killing one. *How did I unlock it? On cp_gorge, on the little cabin at the entrance of blue spawn, with a friend jumping near the sticky. ROBBED ROYAL ------------ *Objective: Destroy 100 sticky bombs with the Scottish Resistance. Once you get the Scottish Resistance, don't hesitate to lay down stickies when you find a bunch of enemy's ones and to destroy them. *How did I unlock it? With a friend. STICKY THUMP ------------ *Objective: Using the Scottish Resistance, kill 3 players in separate explosions without placing new sticky bombs. This one is perhaps tricky to do because you have to put at least stickies in a good distance, in a good number and to kill three players without having one being caught in another's explosion. *How did I unlock it? The reason the paragraph above is just an explanation of the achievement is the fact that I unlock it while trying to do Double Mauled Scotch with my normal Sticky Launcher and that instead of having it, I got Sticky Thump.... How did you guess I've done it during the first day of the update? SCOTCH GUARD ------------ *Objective: Kill 3 enemies capping or pushing a cart in a single Stickybomb detonation 3 separate times. Contrary to a popular belief, it's NOT WITH ONE STICKY you have to play. You can put several ones as far as they're exploding in the same time. Be sure to kill three players on a CP or on the cart (kinda like Pipe Bagger - see next achievement) but you have to do it three times. *How did I unlock it? Well, I don't remember... I think it was in the confusion of CP while being on achievement server. PIPE BAGGER ----------- *Objective: Kill at least three players with a single detonation of sticky bombs. Contrary to a popular belief, it's NOT WITH ONE STICKY you have to play. You can put several ones as far as they're exploding in the same time. So find three players (for example near a dispenser or capping CP), put stickies (now or before) and make them explode. *How did I unlock it? Good question. I don't remember. LOCH NESS BOMBSTER ------------------ *Objective: Kill an enemy player with sticky bombs within 5 seconds of them teleporting. ATTENTION: Not always unlocking when it should. Your goal here is to wait near an teleport exit and to bomb a player who will appear. I don't see really why it's not sometimes counting though. It can be viewed as the counterpart of Trailblazer for Pyro (more than Five Seconds for Heavy). *How did I unlock it? Normally, the first day, first try, with a friend. THE ARGYLE SAP -------------- *Objective: Blow up an Engineer, his sentry gun, and his dispenser with a single Sticky bomb detonation. Contrary to a popular belief, it's NOT WITH ONE STICKY you have to blow up things or NOT AN ENGI WITH ALL HIS BUILDINGS. Put a lot of stickies under the Engi, his sentry and his dispenser and kabooooom! *How did I unlock it? With friends. TAM O'SHATTER ------------- *Objective: Destroy 5 enemy Engineer buildings during a single �berCharge from a Medic. = Requires Sticky Launcher I prefer you to use the Sticky Launcher as not only you get one explosion at the same time but you'll perhaps help the Medic ubering you. It can work with Kritz but don't forget that it's better to have two Engis in the enemy team for having more buildings. That achievement is the mirror of Medical Breakthrough for Medic. *How did I unlock it? With friends. THREE TIMES A LADDY ------------------- *Objective: Dominate three Engineers. Contrary to a popular belief, you don't have to dominate three different Engineers at the same time. You can dominate one, being killed by him and dominate him again. *How did I unlock it? With friends I think. CRY SOME MOOR! -------------- *Objective: Destroy 50 buildings. That one is easy, mainly if you're attacking with an uber for destroying some buildings. You can quickly get it. *How did I unlock it? With friends. SPYNAL TAP ---------- *Objective: Kill 20 Spies within 5 seconds of them sapping a friendly building. Just stay near your Engis and kill Spies trying to sap buildings. It should be easily done if you're in RED on Dustbowl, Stage 2, Last CP. *How did I unlock it? With friends BLIND FIRE ---------- *Objective: Kill an Engineer building that you can't see with a direct hit from your Grenade Launcher. You can send a grenade on sentries, dispensers or teleportes, it doesn't matter contrary to a popular belief due to the icon of the achievement which says that it's only sentries that must be destroyed. Try to find buildings that you can't see (like on a roof for example) and throw grenades. Remember that it must be a direct hit, so no bouncing or exploding next to your target are allowed. One of my friends did it by sending grenades on my building right in front of him and turn around for being "blind". *How did I unlock it? With a sentry behind a rock. LADY MACDETH ------------ *Objective: Kill 50 enemies with direct hits from the Grenade Launcher. So what's the deal here? You have to kill people who are hit directly by your grenade. Bouncing isn't allowed neither is a grenade exploding next to an enemy. *How did I unlock it? With bots. GLASG0WNED ---------- *Objective: Kill 25 Scouts and Pyros with the Grenade Launcher. Just use your Grenades Launcher on Scouts and Pyros and kill them. *How did I unlock it? With a friend. ================= 14. Engineer Pack ================= INCOMING IN 2010 - NO DATE FOR NOW A teaser has been released in May 2010 announcing the update as coming soon. =================== 15. HALLOWEEN EVENT =================== The Halloween 2009 Event was particularly funny before turning annoying with the Thriller Taunt. It was nearly impossible to do your usual taunts... Anyway, this event brought two new maps: koth_harvest_event and koth_harvest_final. Harvest Event was designed after Harvest, with a Halloween Setting: it's the night, with pumpkins and pumpkins bombs, you're sometimes throwing pumpkins with candy when dead, your medipacks are candy and... a ghost (with the Gibus) is haunting Red and Blu bases... And if you run into him, you're scared (with funny ways of running) and unable to fire or to heal... Minisite: http://www.teamfortress.com/pumpkinpatch/ I'm just recommending you to do them on KOTH_HARVEST_EVENT. CANDY CORONER ------------- *Objective: Collect 20 Halloween pumpkins from dead players to unlock a hat. Well, if by now, the hat isn't available anymore to carry, when the Halloween pack was out, a lot of servers were playing 24/24 the map Harvest Event as it's the only one to provide these pumpkins. Your goal is to kill any enemy and if you see a pumpkin being thrown out, just run into it before someone else. You can collect them also from your own teammates. That candy pumpkin is also special: you have a five second crit bonus as reward. When you have 20, the bag/mask will be unlocked. You know how to see it. Respawn and normally, it should appear. *How did I unlock it? By playing on my own server (create a server) with the bots trick. It's very fun to see moving bots collecting the pumpkins instead of you *facepalm*! COSTUME CONTEST --------------- *Objective: Kill a Spy disguised as your current class. Just kill a Spy disguised as what you're playing. Just a warning though: I don't know why but it's not always being unlocked after the first kill. On some servers, it can take a lot of tries before getting it. *How did I unlock it? I've joined a server with Harvest Event where a friend was and everybody was playing and achieving. I've asked... It's been done and I return the favor by being a disguised Spy. ATTACK O'LANTERN ---------------- *Objective: Cause the deaths of 5 players by exploding nearby pumpkin bombs. It can be done only on Harvest Event. You'll find pumpkin bombs on the map. Just shoot them when someone is near one. Be also aware that you can be killed by the bomb by your own shot (but it's not counting for the achievement). *How did I unlock it? By playing on my own server (create a server) with the bots trick. SCARED STIFF ------------ *Objective: Kill a player scared by the ghost haunting KOTH Harvest. *Objective 2: Kill five players scared by the ghost haunting KOTH Harvest. Why two objectives? Because well, on TF2 Blog and during the Event it was one. And then suddenly, it's showing five players. Or it's an usual number mistake when they're translating achievement or it changed. Anyway, just kill players that are running weirdly and having blue/green ghosts around the head. *How did I unlock it? By playing on my own server (create a server) with the bots trick. GHASTLY GIBUS GRAB ------------------ *Objective: Dominate a player wearing the Ghastly Gibus to earn your own. 10 317 players got it free. You can imagine that they passed it to their friends thanks to the achievement, the friends played on servers and... you see where I'm heading. Anyway, dominate someone wearing the Gibus for getting your own. Don't forget to respawn. *How did I unlock it? I've joined a server with Harvest Event where a friend was and everybody was playing and achieving. I've asked... It's been done and when the server I'm admin of was updated, a lot of players connecting got their Gibus with my good will. I'm still letting them dominate me if they're asking me, don't worry. ============= 16.
