Dungeon Siege III is the third and latest installment in the Dungeon Siege series. Obsidian Entertainment’s the developer of this third installment while Square Enix acquired the rights for the series. If you’re stuck in the game here’s a the complete walkthrough for the game courtesy of Wiki Cheats.

A Gathering in the North

The Montbarron Estate

Move forward into the mansion. You can ignore the bodies you find, they do not have anything valuable. Once inside make a left turn at the end of the first hall. After this turn look for a weapon rack on your left. Walk up to it and use the interact button (RB on the Xbox 360, R2 on the PS3). An item will drop on the floor. Pick it up and continue down the stairs.

At the bottom you will have to break some barrels to continue. You will find more of these barrels throughout the game, and you can break them for a chance to get a small amount of money.

You will then be attacked by two mercenaries. They are easy to kill, so use this as a time to practice your different attacks. Keep moving forward and you will encounter even more enemies. When you have defeated this second group you will encounter Marten Guiscard, a member of the Legion. You can speak to him and ask questions, or you can just agree to his plan to continue though the mansion. Follow him to the bridge. On the bridge you will find three barrels. Walk up to each and press the “interact” button. When all three are lit you will end the level.

Pilgrim’s Path

At the start of this level you will find a save point. Normally it’s always a good idea to use a save point whenever you see one, but there are no enemies between this save point and the next one.

Move down the path to the military camp. There you will find a sign with a bounty notice on it. You will also find a chest and a weapon rack.

Go through the next gate and you will see a save point. Use this save point, because your first boss fight is across the next bridge. If you want a little xp before you get there, don’t cross the bridge and instead go to the next camp. There are some easy enemies for you to kill, and some loot.

Before you cross the cross the bridge, open your inventory screen and check out your gear. You’ve picked up a few new items and some of them will be better than what you currently have equipped. Switch out your old gear for the better items, then cross the bridge.

Bogden, the first mini-boss of the game.

When you cross the bridge you will encounter Bogden. Not only will you have to fight Bogden, you will also have to deal with his henchmen. Start off this fight using area attacks. These attacks will kill the henchmen and hurt Bogdon. Marten Guiscard will keep Bogdon busy for the most part, which is a big help. Once the henchmen are out of the way, use single target attack to kill Bogdon.

Bogdon fights at close range, so try to use ranged attacks.

Once you have defeated Bogdon enter the chapterhouse and speak to Odo. He will instruct you to go to Raven’s Rill. After you speak to him you will complete your quest and get enough xp to reach the next experience level.

The Search for Survivors

Your first objective is to get to Raven’s Rill. Before you leave for Raven’s Rill look around inside the chapterhouse for loot, you’re sure to find some items you can use.

Once outside, all you have to do is follow the path, but there are plenty of mercenaries on the road. Use your area attacks against them.

When you reach the town you will three people who offer you sidequests. There is a shop in the center of town where you can sell your unwanted gear and by some new gear. You will also encounter one of the Legionnaire’s descendants (Katarina or Lucas). He or she will tell you to free one of the other descendants being held captive in a cave.

Head out of town using the east gate, and be sure to save your game near the gate.

The path to the cave is filled with enemies, as are most paths in this game.

Stormsong Cavern has more mercenaries for you to deal with, but there’s pretty much only one way to go, so you can’t get lost.

Just past the second save point you will encounter Barbat. He’s a mini-boss, and he attacks with a group of mercenaries. Use area attacks to take out his henchmen, then switch to single target attacks for Barbat. He uses a bow, and attacks regularly every second or so. You can easily block his attack, then use a few of your own, then block his next attack.

Keep going and you will encounter a dialogue scene with a woman named Vera. She will then attack you. This fight is far harder than the others you have encountered so far.

In order to avoid damage from her minions you will have to dodge, but where you enter the room is narrow and there is little room to maneuver. You are better off making your way to another part of the room.

Once you have defeated Vera you will be shown a shortcut out of the cave. Return to Raven’s Rill.

Unanswered Questions

Your mission is to find Lazar Bassili, but none of the townsfolk are willing to give you any information about him. To get this information you must complete one of the sidequests available in Raven’s Rill.

If you have already completed one of these side quests you can immediately speak to a man named Grigori, who is standing near the merchant. If you have not yet done a side quest you can choose from any of the following:

• A Prized Possession
• The Fishing Hole
• The Widow’s Revenge

Once you complete one of these quests you will be able to speak to Grigori. The next step is to travel to the chapterhouse and talk to Odo. He will then ask you to retrieve a special ring from a magical forest.

Into the Mournweald

Head to the rear of the chapterhouse. On the upper floor you will find a merchant where you can offload unwanted items, and replace any substandard gear. In this same room is a magical gate, but it is not yet operational. Go downstairs and you’ll find an room full of spiders. Kill them and open the door at the back of the room.

On the other side of this door you will find a corpse with the “A Loss for Words” sidequest. Fight your way through the forest until you reach a path that is blocked by branches. It will open for you, so proceed. You will have to fight your way through another forest hallway. When you get to a tree, walk up to the dead body in the center and pick up the ring. This will trigger a dialogue scene. You will be returned to the tangle of branches. Head back to the chapterhouse and to Odo. This will complete the quest.

The Battle for Raven’s Rill

Odo will instruct you to use the gate at the rear of the chapterhouse. Go through the gate and you will appear on an ethereal plane called the Rakkenvahl. Fight your way along the magic walkways to another gate. This will take you to the Gunderic Mausoluem. Feel free to smash the coffins here for loot. The next area is called the Raven’s Rill Graveyard. Here you will encounter some zombies, and a mini-boss named Zora. Keep fighting your way through the graveyard and into the upper section of the town.

When you enter the town hall you will encounter Rajani. This is the hardest boss fight so far, so be sure you have your best gear equipped.

Rajani

Rajani

Rajani has a very large heath pool, so this fight will take a while, expect five to seven minutes. You will need to heal throughout the fight.

Rajani’s attacks include:

• A melee attack with her staff.
• Magic missile that strikes one of your party. It has a long enough range to hit anyone in the room. You can tell when she is about to shoot this because she raises her staff over her head, as if she were going to throw a spear.
• A single target spell that starts as a purple glow under your feet. As soon as you see this effect under your character you should dodge out of the way. If you stay long enough for the spell to activate it will do serious damage.
• Rejani can dodge attacks by rolling away. Ranged attacks and abilities are easier to hit her with.

When you get her down to zero health, she will use a spell that shakes the building and causes some of the roof to collapse onto the floor. These beams will restrict your movement. Her health bar also goes back up to full. This begins the second phase of the fight.

Her attacks improve during this phase:

• Her missile attack shoots out four missiles. They move around the room in large circles until they hit something. The tell for this attack is bigger; when she raises her spear she will be surrounded by purple light.
• Her single target floor spell now shoots out several (up to six) circles. These appear randomly around the room, so you don’t have to dodge when she uses it. But you will have to avoid walking to the purple light.

Her floor attack in the second phase of the fight.

During this phase she will often stay near the corners of the room, teleporting from one corner to another. If you try to use melee attacks you will spend most of your time running around the room. You will do better if you switch to ranged attacks.

When you get her health bar down to zero this time you will defeat her. You will get the “Trial by Fire” achievement or trophy. Before you do anything else, use the save point in the next room.

Head deeper into the town hall and you will find the Lazar Bassili. Return to where you fought Rajani, and you will have to decide what to do with her.

On the Road

Head out of the chapterhouse and cross the bridge. At the end of the bridge you should get the “Heroes of Old” sidequest. Now take the path to the left, away from Raven’s Rill.

When you cross the next bridge another character will join your party. Which character depends on what character you are playing. If you are playing solo you will only be able to have one other character with you, so you will have to decide who to bring. You can always change party members using the Party Select option in the Player Menu.

You will then have to pass through the Eastern Swamp Bluffs. There are some spiders here, but no major threats.

At the end of the bluffs you will encounter some of the Azunites. There are three types of enemies. The archers and foot soldiers are pretty standard. The men with shields are a little harder. They have a strong melee attack, but move very slowly. Take them out with ranged attacks before they reach you.

Head into and through the Bioluminecent cave and fight your way out the other side. You will reach the Swamp Battlefield. There is a Royalist camp there. Reaching the camp will complete this quest and start the next one.

The Root of the Matter

Speak to the Lord Devonsey and he will ask you to find Phineas, who has been captured by a tribe of swamp people.

On the way out of town you will encounter Roderick who will give you the “Lost in the Swamp” sidequest.

Enter Gloamwood Bog. Here you will encounter some worms that appear out of the ground. They can be annoying to chase after, so ranged attacks work well against them.

Keep going and you will find a group of lost scouts. Speak to them and press on to a save point. Just past the save point is Devonsey. Enter the First People village and fight your way through. Some of the enemies cast green circles on the ground. These are healers, and they should be targeted first to prevent them from healing other enemies.

You will come to a section of the walkway that is missing. There is a crank on the north side of the water that will extend the walkway.

When you reach the center of the village you will speak to Maru-yatum. No matter what you say he will have his people attack. There is a big group here, so you may want to back off, rather than rush into the fray. Some of the enemies here look like swamp men; a huge pile of moss shaped somewhat like a man. They shoot out a green bubbling area attack you should avoid, and they also have a tentacle attack that they use at mid-range.

After you have defeated all the enemies here you can use the save point. Now head up the path made of a giant tree root. At the top you will have to fight Maru-yatum.

Boss: Maru-yatum

Maru-yatum

Maru-yatum casts an area effect damage over time spell all around him. It isn’t active all the time, so any melee characters can move out of the way while it is in effect. But the computer AI isn’t smart enough to move out of the way. This is where having an AI companion can really be a pain. So if you have Lucas as a computer controlled companion, this is going to be a difficult fight. You may want to switch him out for someone else (anyone else). Even then your AI companions will have trouble staying out of danger areas.

There are three cages filled with Royalist soldiers on the edges of the platform. Free these men and they will fight on your side. They don’t fight very well, but some help is better than none.

Maru-yatum also casts a spell that shoots three to five green bolts in a wide arc. There are too many to dodge, so you will have to block them.

In addition you will be attacked by numerous smaller enemies. They keep spawning, so focus on Maru-yatum. Only attack the minions to get them out of the way temporarily or to build up your focus.

After you defeat Maru-yatum you will end up back in the village. There are four chests you can loot, and they have some good items. Speak to Phineas and he will tell you that he can build the road the Royalists need. On your way out of the swamp be sure to stop by the vendor, which has some rings and pendants you will definitely find useful.

On your way back to the Loyalist camp you will see two new paths open for you. The first leads to the lost scouts for the “Lost in the Swamp” sidequest. The second leads to some slugs you can defeat for the “Missionary Work” sidequest. If you get the eggs you may as well go back to the First People village now to turn the quest in.

When you get back to the Royalist camp speak to Devonsey and he will create the road out. Follow the road all the way to Stonebridge. Along the way you will encounter some bandits, but they’re nothing you can’t handle.

When you reach Stonebridge speak to the guard and he will let you in. When you enter you will complete this quest and start the next one.

The Grand Chapterhouse

Before you enter the chapterhouse you may want to visit some of the merchants in Stonebridge. Some of them have really nice gear, so now is a good time to upgrade any sub-par equipment.

When you enter the chapterhouse the first enemy you will encounter are Legionnaire Guardians. They keep respawning, so no matter how many of them you kill there will always be more. Instead of fighting them, go to the cage in the center of the room and read the scroll there. This will stop the guardians.

You must now find four books in the chapterhouse. There are two doors in this room, go through the one you did not use to enter. You will encounter more guardians and some lion heads on the wall that shoot fireballs. Do not attack any of them. Run past them into the next room where you will find an lever in the center of the room. Use it to open a door, which leads to the first book. Read it and all the guardians and lion heads will die.

Now head back to room with the switch in the middle. There is a door in this room that is unlocked so head through it. In this next room you will see another cage in the center. Go directly to it and flip the switch. You will see a door open. A large group of enemies will attack, so dodge you way through the open door and use the book. This will kill any enemies in the room. There are still lion heads in the previous room, but you are safe in this one. Take this time to heal. Go, out the door and make a left. You will get to the third book. Read it and you will kill all nearby enemies.

Now get to the last book. Press up on the d-pad to see where it is. Use the same tactic of running and dodging past your enemies to reach it. Once you have this book go back to the front of the chapterhouse. Go to the large bookcase and you will automatically open the causeway and retake the Grand Chapterhouse.

The Tumbledown Court

Even if you choose to go to the queen in the dialogue options, this is the quest that will be active after you liberate the Grand Chapterhouse.

When you enter the court you will speak to a man named Wulf. You will then speak to the council. You will have to do two quests in order to win the council over to your side.

• Kassel – Strike! – Kill the cyclopses in the foundry.
• Mudgutter – Trouble in the Crypts- Enter the crypts and defeat the people who are kidnapping robots.

There is a third quest giver named Fiddlewick, but his quests are all side quests and won’t get you a vote on the council.

Trouble in the Crypts

Enter the crypts. You can just follow the golden orbs to guide you through. Next to the bridge is a room with some extra loot. On the other side of the bridge is a similar room that gives you loot and the sidequest “Stolen Shipments”

Keep going to Goblin Demolitionist. He also has some automatons. His attacks are all area attacks, so don’t stand near your companions.

The next bridge has some swinging blades above it. As you cross the bridge you will be attacked by some minor enemies. Either run back to where you started or run past them to the other side of the bridge. Whatever you do, do not fight on the bridge. The blades do far more damage than the enemies do.

There are two switches on the far side of the bridge. Flip both of them to stop the blades and open a new door.

The shut off switch is located near the swinging blade.

This next room has more swinging blades. Do not fight near the blades. When the room is clear look near the swinging blade on the left. Near it is a switch that will shut off the blades and open the doors. Next to this switch is a room that has the items needed to complete the Stolen Shipments sidequest.

The next room has a save point, which you should use. Past that is a bridge is a platform with two levers, and a robot in a cage. The two levers deploy two bridges that lead to two rooms. In each room is a level, and when the second lever is used you will free the robot.

Modified Automation – He really cranks out damage so heal like crazy. You may want to go with melee attacks, since all his attacks seem to be ranged attacks.

Move forward and you will have to take out another mini-boss called the “Street Boss”

Keep going to a save point. You will want to use it because there’s another boss coming up.

Ehregott

Ehregott is the boss battle of the crypts. During this fight small numbers of bandits will enter the area and attack. Take them out when you need focus, but you should spend most of your attention on Ehregott.

Charge attack – He will dash forward and hit you. If you dodge out of the way he will stop at the end of the charge and be stunned for a moment.

Ranged attack – three cannonballs that follow you. Dodge them. The cannonballs will circle around, but

Strike

Head to foundry and talk to Deter. He doesn’t have much helpful information. But will give you a sidequest to turn on gears. Also pick up the sidequest to free the ironworkers.

Head into the foundry and fight your way through. The Cyclopes are hard enemies. Who have some strong melee attacks. They move slowly, so ranged attacks work well against them. They have a large amount of health, almost like a mini-boss.

Eventually you will come to a bridge you have to extend. On this bridge is a mini-boss called a Cyclops Forman.

You will encounter some caged firehounds. If you release them they will attack anything they see. If you release them near enemies, the firehounds will attack your enemies. If you releases them with no enemies around they will attack you.

Ergometheus

Half of this fight is the area where you are fighting. It isn’t that big, and so there’s not much room to run around. There are also vents of the floor where flames shoot out, so you will need to watch where you are standing.

His melee attacks are slow and easy to dodge or block.

Ranged attackers will have an easier time with this fight because Ergometheus is so slow that you can easily stay away from him. Just watch out for the dogs.

Head back to the front of the foundry and turn in your quests.

The Automaton Rebellion

When you leave the foundry or the crypt (whichever quest you did last) you will find that the automations that normally guard the city are now attacking it.

Move forward and you will have to fight the Firestorm XE mini-boss. He isn’t as hard as the groups of automatons you have to face up ahead. They stay in tight groups, which is perfect for area effect attacks, but they dish out some serious melee damage so you will want to used ranged area attacks if possible.

Keep going and you will run across the Thunderstorm CE, another robot mini-boss. This one uses more ranged attacks, and they are quite effective so be ready do dodge.

When you reach the court you will talk Wulf. He will tell you the Dapper Old Gent is responsible for the attacks, and that he escaped to the causeway. Save your game, check your equipment, then go in after him.

The Dapper Old Gent

This fight takes place on a platform. In the center of the platform is the Gent, surrounded by a force field. This force field is fed by four generators on the outer ring of the platform. You can’t hurt the Gent while the force field is up. The generators are surrounded by their own force fields.

The power lines going from the generators to the center of the platform will not hurt you.

As soon as the fight starts, you will see objects that look like towers or phone booths appear on the edge of the platform. Out of these will come automatons. You must destroy these towers. Not only do the towers spawn automatons, but they are also the key to lowering the Gent’s force field. The towers should be your primary targets and th automatons should be your secondary targets.

When you have enough of the towers destroyed the shield around one of the generators will go down. Attack that generator. When you destroy it, the Gent’s shield will go down. Attack him with everything you have. His shield will go back up in a few seconds. You will have to repeat this several times to get his health down to zero and defeat him.

He doesn’t use many attacks, but the ones he uses are effective.

• Purple Mark: He places a purple mark on the floor, and a few seconds later it explodes in a black cloud. At the start of the fight this mark is small, and the explosion covers a small area. Later in the fight the mark and the explosion get bigger.
• Cannon Balls – He has shoots multiple black flaming balls at you. Early in the fight he only shoots two at a time, as the fight goes on he shoots more.
• Vertical beams – The platform has what looks like seams going from the center to the edge. On these lines beams will sometimes move back and forth. These beams aren’t guided, so they are more like an environmental hazard than an attack.
• Automatons – During the fight you will encounter a lot of automatons, and they can do a lot of damage if you let them. Their most dangerous attack is a short range flamethrower. If you get several close by you and they all use this attack at once you will get killed pretty quickly.

Destroy these towers to stop the robots from attacking you and to lower the shields around the generators.

When the shields around the generators go down, attack them.

Avoid standing in this symbol when it appears.

Once you defeat the Gent you can decide to recruit him to help you, or hand him over to the city.

Glitterdelve

The actual name for this quest is Tumbledown Court.

Head back to the Grand Chapter House and use the causeway. You’ll end up on a snowy mountaintop. You will come under fire from cannons, but those mostly for show. They rarely hit, and they don’t do much damage

Just before the trail gets narrow you’ll see a short hallway to your left. You get enter this hallway by breaking part of the wall. Inside you’ll find a chest.

Move forward along the path until you come to a soldier who tells you what to do: get some gunpowder and use a cannon to blow up the mine entrance. Move down the path to an outpost with an orge and a chest with the gunpowder. Go back up to the cannon and use it to destroy the mine entrance. Now head back down the path to a bunch of ice crystals and break them. Inside you will find Ibsen Yamas. He will show you how to get through the pass if you do the “In Search of Solitude” quest.

In Search of Solitude

There are three Stonestream Conduits you must destroy. All are located outside the cave, in the mountain paths. Fight your way to each one and attack it.

Return to Ibsen, and your next objective is to find the mine entrance. Before you leave for the mine entrance make sure you have any sidequests you want to do in the area finished, because you won’t be able to return here. Follow the orbs to the mine entrance where you will meet up with Lord Devonsey (who you met in the swamp). From there you will have to walk over to the queen. You will not encounter any enemies on the way there.

Enemy at the Gates

Once you have the black powder you can use this cart to seal the tunnel.

Before you leave on this quest you can talk to some of the people near the queen to pick up some side quests.

Follow the orbs into the mines. You will meet up with Rodderick. He will tell you to gather four bags of black powder to destroy the entrances. Fight your way into the mines. Look for dead bodies that have the black powder you need.

There is a section in the mines where the trail of gold orbs won’t help. The trail will guide you to a ledge. You must summon a moving platform here, but the crystal that summons it is below you. You must backtrack and go around to the crystal.

Keep following the orbs until you reach a mini-boss, the Azunite Lieutenant. He’s basically a stronger version of a shielded Azunite soldier. Just past him you will see a mine cart. Walk up to it and press the “use” button. Congratulations on sealing off the southern mining tunnel.

Now follow the trail of orbs all the way back to the entrance to the court, past it and meet up with Roderick again. Fight your way through the western tunnels and pick up the four satchels of black powder. Keep going until you encounter a save point and another Azunite Lieutenant. Just past him you will find the mine cart. Blow it up and go back to the court.

On your way back you will come under cannon fire as you are riding some platforms. When the platform stops you will have to fight a large group of mixed enemies.

Ebb and Flow

Follow the orbs to a moving platform. At the top Phineas will climb onto the stonestream. You will then be attacked by Sentinels. They will attack you, rather than Phineas, and you don’t have to defeat them, just stay alive until Phineas is done. When Phineas completes his task the Sentinels will die.

Return to the court. Before you get there you will meet Devonsey. Talk to him and you will complete this quest and start the next one.

Lord Devonsey’s Trap

Jane Kisinder, center in white, the first time you meet her in the game.

Follow the orbs to the bottom of the well. Here you will take a platform into what looks like an arena. You’ll have to fight a few minor enemies for a few minutes, but save your special attacks. After just a few minutes you will have a dialogue scene with Jane Kisinder herself. You will then have to fight the warbeast.

The warbeast has several attacks. The first is a change. It is hard to avoid because he also uses a tail swipe. Melee characters will have a harder time with this fight because he has a stomp attack that is effective all around him, and will knock you down.

Know that the warbeast’s charge will kill any enemy troops it hits, so a good dodge will not only save you some damage but will also take out the minor enemies.

On Holy Ground

From the chapterhouse head over to the Stonebridge town hall. When you decide to leave for the spire, you won’t be able to return to Stonebridge for the rest of the game. Be sure you save before you leave.

In the spire the first you will speak to Rajani, if you were nice to her earlier in the game. She will ask you to spare the lives of her sisters. If you agree she will tell you of a secret location, accessed by a pressure plate in the corner of the garden.

Here is the pressure plate that will open the dungeon.

The next room has four gates, and a switch in the middle. Use the switch and one of the doors will open. The trail of golden orbs will point you to a locked door, but you can only go through the open one. In this next room you will see a switch in the center. Flip it, and go to the previous room. One of the other doors here will be open, so go through that. This will take you to the room with the pressure plate in the corner.

If you head into the spire dungeons you will encounter the jailer. He moves quickly and often. Once you kill him you will get his keys and be able to open all the cells.

In the eastern cellblock there is a sealed cell. You can get to it by breaking the wall in the cell to the west. Inside you will find a chest, and a critical piece of lore.

Freeing the prisoners will get you the “Liberator” trophy/achievement.

Go back to the room with the pressure plate and press on into the spire. You will have to fight an Azunite Handmaiden. Her melee attack has a powerful knockback.

When you reach the West Turret there is an elevator you must use. At the top you will face the Archon of War.

Archon of War

The Archon of War fights with abilities similar to Anjali when she is in human form. Many of her attacks are area attacks, so do not stand near any of your companions. If possible have one melee character hold her attention and the rest use ranged attacks.

She moves around a lot, making her hard to hit with some spells.

When you have defeated her, follow the orbs to the east turret. You will again have to fight an Azunite Lieutenant. Just past him is a Archon Handmaiden.

After this fight look on your map and you will see the location of a merchant. Head over there and check out the items he has for sale.

When you enter the East Turret you will face another Handmadien.

Archon of Justice

In the same way that the Archon of War fights like Anjali in human form, the Archon of Justice fights like Anjali in fire form.

She uses a pillar of fire style attack that shoots multiple columns of fire from the floor. She also summons fire jackals.

The good news is that Justice doesn’t move much. You can spam your most powerful single target spells and she won’t move or dodge. This can be a short fight if you do it right, so use your advanced abilities, crank out the DPS, and only stop to dodge.

Once this fight is over, follow the orbs to the other side of the castle. Along the way you’ll have to deal with large numbers of enemies, but by this time you should be used to that.

Jeyne Kassynder

When fighting Jeyne's minions, area attacks where her shield is close to the wall are very effective. Enemies have to go through this area to reach you.

 

When fighting Jeyne’s minions, area attacks where her shield is close to the wall are very effective. Enemies have to go through this area to reach you.

This is the hardest fight in the game so far. You’ll be in a fairly small area. Jeyne will be in the center, with a force field around her. You can’t hurt her during this phase of the fight. You will have to fight her subordinates first.

After a few waves of minor enemies you will have to defeat two Cyclops Brutes. You will have to face both of these guys, at the same time. Keep moving and keep your health up. This fight is a marathon, not a sprint.

During this time you will have to dodge Jeyne’s attacks. You can’t hurt her yet, so you have to avoid her attacks and attack the Cyclops Brutes.

The second phase of the fight starts when Chakti, the woman who was standing next to Jeyne, enters combat. She moves around very quickly.

After you defeat Chakti, Jeyne will run away. Before you chase after her, clear out any enemies remaining in the room and loot all the chests. The next room has a save point you should use, unless you want to fight Chakti again.

In the next room you will have to fight Jeyne and her handmaidens. None of them have health bars.

When you defeat her, she will run away. Loot the chests in the room, then follow her.

Up on the roof is your final fight against Jeyne. She moves very quickly, so ranged attackers will need to constantly move away from her. She also uses a teleport ability like a charge attack, so you will need to dodge when you see her about to teleport. She always teleports right next to you, and the attack she uses when she arrives has a range a little bit longer than your dodge. You will need to dodge twice in a row to avoid the attack.

Rebirth

After defeating Jeyne take the elevator down. At the bottom you will find a save point. If you let Fitch (who you found in the dungeon) go then you will find him here acting as a merchant. He’s the final merchant in the game, so spend your cash and buy whatever you like.

Follow Armand, then take him to the causeway. Once you’ve dropped him off there, go downstairs and out of the chapterhouse. When you get outside you will see some Archons, but these are easy enemies.

Farther down the road you will encounter a humanoid with four arms. It is called a daeva. His has some decent ranged attacks, but stands still much of the time so it is easy to attack. After that you will encounter the Radiant Youth. Speak to him, then use the save point.

You will then have to follow a long, straight path through the forest. Along the way you’ll have to fight group after group of daevas and Archons. They aren’t hard individually, but when they attack in large groups they can difficult.

The only rule here is not to run past any of your enemies. If you do, you will trigger more to spawn, then you’ll have to deal with a large group.

Corrupted Creator

In the first phase of this fight the Corrupted Creator will slam his hand down and drag it on the ground. Of course you’ll want to avoid this attack. But this is also when he is vulnerable. Attack his hand with ranged attacks. His hand is even more vulnerable when he stops moving it and just rests it on the ground.

He also shoots groups of blue spheres at you. If you don’t dodge these, the first will knock you down and the rest will all hit you. This can easily one-shot most characters, so avoid this attack at all costs.

He will summon some Archons, but try to attack his hand whenever you can target it. If you unleash your strong abilities on his hand, you can finish this phase in just a minute or two.

When you get him down to half health you will start phase two of the battle. He will spit out bubbling liquid on the ground. If you step in it, it will drain your focus. He will also spawn a large number of minor enemies (use area attacks to kill them) and a few daevas. The Corrupted Creator also has a beam attack that follows you around and will hit you if you stop running. You will need to heal constantly.

Focus on staying alive. Eventually the creator will suck up all his minions in his mouth. He will then put his head on the ground. When this happens attack as hard as you can. Use your most powerful single target attacks. If you have an empowered single target attack, use that. It if hit it hard enough you will be able to kill the creator in only two or three cycles.

Once the fight is over you will get to decide the fate of Jeyne Kassynder. You will also get the “Welcome to the Winner’s Circle” trophy or achievement.

So here’s our sixth Team Fortress 2 achievement guide. Now we have the Spy achievement list (which is really hard to do if you ask me) so you gotta have all your wits on this one. And again, a big thank you to Big Downloads for the guide!

A Cut Above

Kill a gun-wielding Spy with your knife.

An interesting achievement, to say the least. Simply put, eliminate an enemy Spy that is using a gun by stabbing him. Backstab, facestab, or just plain stabbing will all do, as long as you do it with your knife. The easiest method to garner this achievement is to stealth and find another Spy that is using an Ambassador revolver. Due to the long range and headshot capabilities of the Ambassador, a Spy with it is more likely to go in guns a blazing rather than engage in knife-based subterfuge. Stab him and viola! But really, all you need is an uncloaked Spy wielding a knife with his back to you.

To farm this, get a friend to play a Spy. Have your friend select the revolver, and then come close to you to let themselves get backstabbed. Then backstab them! Viola, instant achievement. If they do not have the achievement either, it may be kind to reciprocate the favor and let them backstab you while you wield the revolver.

Note: It is probably obvious, given the normal technique, but both the standard revolver and the Ambassador are eligible for this achievement. Any other weapon that the enemy Spy is currently losing is not.

Agent Provocateur

Backstab your Steam Community friends 10 times.

This one is a fun one. Its goal is exactly as it states, and they have to be your Steam friends at the time which you stab them. In other words, stabbing people that you have invited to be your friend will not count. The simplest way to do this normally is to just play public games with your friends! You will inevitably get the required number of backstabs after a time. For added hilarity. Play on a server that is populated entirely by your Steam friends!

To farm this one, all you need is one friend that is willing to die over and over, much like the other achievements in this list. Simply backstab him 10 times (consecutively or otherwise) and you get the achievement! Once again, it is kind to let him repeat the process on you to get the achievement. It is relatively painless, especially with instant respawn servers.

Note: An interesting addendum to this achievement is the meaning of agent provocateur, which is that of an undercover operative that is used to instigate individuals or groups to dissent with the group overall or commit a crime for which they can be arrested. In this particular case, you are irritating your friends!

Burn Notice

Survive 30 seconds after being ignited while cloaked.

One of the harder achievements, this one involves managing to stay alive after being set on fire while cloaked. However, funnily enough, this does not mean that you have to be on fire the whole time. Rather, the achievement is simply about catching on fire and then surviving 30 seconds, on fire or not. The easiest way to get this achievement is to stay near the bridge in 2fort and let a Pyro set you on fire. Then leap into the water and disappear! The alternative is to seek out a Medic or health pack to remove the flames. Either way, get away from the Pyro fast!

To farm this achievement, simply have a Pyro friend set you on fire after you cloak. Decloak and immediately seek out water or a health pack. Then wait around for 30 seconds! Viola, you have recieved your achievement. It might be a kind courtesy to let the Pyro continue setting you alight, as it is a pyro achievement to set cloaked Spies on fire 5 times.

Note: The achievement name, Burn Notice, comes from an espionage term where an agency issues a notice called a “burn notice” where it says that one of its spies has become unreliable. In this case, the spy is “black-listed.” Perhaps the most notable use of this term is in the USA Network drama series Burn Notice.

Come in From the Cold

Get a Revenge kill with a backstab.

Chances are the majority of players will get this achievement with little to now effort, as long as they love backstabbing! The only requirement is to kill a nemesis with a backstab. Simple enough! The problem, however, is that if an enemy is your nemesis, it means they have already killed you several times without you killing them. Ouch. Nevertheless, you should get this easily through normal play. Just play a lot. A great double whammy is to backstab a medic nemesis ready to deploy his über, thus netting you Dr. Nooooo as well.

To farm this, have a friend repeatedly kill you until they get the nemesis status applied to them. Then, backstab them! Easy enough. This is a great achievement to work on in tandem with Counter Espionage or A Cut Above, as you can backstab an enemy Spy who is your nemesis that is disguised or wielding a revolver, respectively. As always, return the favor!

Note: The idiom Come in From the Cold refers to returning to something after a long time. In this case, it is backstabbing the aprticular enemy that is your nemesis!

Constructus Interruptus

Kill an Engineer who is working on a sentry.

A relatively hard achievement, this involves killing an Engineer as he is upgrading or repairing his sentry. In other words, it is basically a suicide mission. Most sentry guns will have a dispenser near them to heal and rearm the Engineer working on it, making long-range elimination extremely improbable unless the Spy in question gets a headshot with the Ambassador. So run up, backstab the Engineer as they work, and watch yourself get promptly gibbed!

To farm this, have a friend deploy a sentry gun as an Engineer. Then have them work on upgrading it as you stand out of range of the gun. While they are upgrading, chip away at them with your revolver. Once they die, you net the achievement and don’t even have to die! It does not matter whether or not the sentry is fully upgraded, armed, or repaired, so long as the Engineer is hitting it with his wrench

Note: This achievement has a distinctly… sexual reference. It refers to coitus interruptus, which is best left undescribed here. We aren’t a sex blog! This is a PC games site! Regardless, if you are curious as to the term, Wikipedia has a good article.
Counter Espionage

Backstab a disguised Spy.

This achievement may be hard to get in normal play, as chances are by the time you find a disguised Spy, he will be in place to kill you or your teammates. The easiest way, therefore, is to wait until you see an enemy Spy disguising and he does not see you. The Cloak and Dagger is perfect for this sort of intellgience gathering. Then simply sneak up on him and backstab! Instant achievement. The other method, which is usually completely on accident, is when you run into a disguised Spy (disguised enemies have collision, unlike regular allies). Do a quick circle around and backstab!

To farm this achievement, have a friend play as a Spy and disguise as one of your teammates. Then backstab him. Simple and effective. This achievement goes well with Com In From The Cold and A Cut Above, for obvious reasons. You may also try farming it with the May I Cut In? achievement, as that achievement does not require a Medic and Heavy pair in order to pull off.

Note: The achievement gets its name from the act of placing one spy to track down another. Using spies to catch other spies is known as counter-espionage, and is a widely used tactic in the intelligence community.

Deep Undercover

While using the Cloak and Dagger, kill the same enemy 3 times, all within the same area in a single life.

Naturally, to acquire this achievement you must have unlocked the Cloak and Dagger, which can only be obtained through random chance. A simple achievement if you think about it. Find the areas where Snipers sit and wait in ambush. When they are too busy caught up in sniping your friends, kill them! The “area” defined by the achievement is not specific, but is roughly equivalent to the 2fort balconies or the lobby of well.

To farm this achievement, equip the Cloak and Dagger and wait near the enemy spawn. have a friend pop out. Backstab him 3 times without dying, which should net you the achievement as well as a domination. Naturally, this achievement goes well with any other achievement that requires you to be somewhere specific, such as Is It Safe?. This is the only achievement that requires the use of the Cloak and Dagger.

Note: While you must have the Cloak and Dagger equipped, you are not required to be using it to get the achievement. In other words, as long as it is on you and you kill the same guy in the same place 3 times in a single life, you will get the achievement. You don’t have to cloak or backstab.

Die Another Way

Kill a Sniper after your backstab breaks his Razorback.

This one sort of relies on your enemy having a Razorback. However, it is easy to note if they do indeed have a Razorback, as it is clearly visible on the back of the SNiper wearing it. Simply attempt a backstab on an enemy Sniper, breaking the Razorback and making you unable to use your knife. Then pull out your gun and cap him. You’ll have to be fast, however, as the Sniper will definitely notice!

To farm this, you’ll need a friend with the Razorback, which is easier said than done. Then have the friend stand still as you promptly break the Razorbeak and then shoot him in the face. Viola, instant achievement! Alternatively, you can wait until your knife cools down and then get the achievement through a backstab. Either way works, but the gun method is faster, and we assume you want to get back to playing!

Note: This achievement’s title is in reference to the James Bond movie Die Another Day, which was the 20th James Bond movie as well as the last one to star Pierce Brosnan.

Diplomacy

Kill 50 enemies with the Ambassador.

An obvious parody of the fact that the Spy revolver replacement is called the Ambassador, this achievement is a simple grind that you can only do if you have the Ambassador unlocked through sheer luck. Once it is unlocked, equip it and use it. Once you net 50 kills, you’ll get the achievement. The farm is exactly the same, only find a friend willing to die 50 times for you to get the achievement. It is highly suggested that you do not bother to farm this, as you will spend a lot of time doing so, and that is, frankly, pretty boring.

Note: Both headshots and body kills count with the Ambassador. They also have to be kills, not assists, although someone else can assist you.

Dr. Nooooo

Backstab a Medic that is ready to deploy an übercharge.

This achievement is much easier than it would appear. All you really have to do is sneak up on a Medic that has stayed alive for quite a while. Chances are they will have an übercharge ready to use on one of their comrades. Simply bathe your knife in their blood, and the achievement is yours! Note that Kritzkrieg and Medigun über both count towards this achievement. Make sure that you catch the Medic off-guard, otherwise he may activate the über and deny you your achievement.

To get this achievement, have two friends play as a Medic and a Demoman. Have them Medic heal the Demoman as he continues to blast himself up with pipe bombs. Once the medic gets the über, backstab him to net yourself another nice little achievement. You might work on this achievement with one of the Medic farm achievements, or even FYI I Am A Spy.

Note: In much the same way that Die Another Way is named after a James Bond movie, Dr. Nooooo is named after one as well. However, Dr. No was the first James Bond movie, not the 20th, and starred the irreplaceable Sean Connery rather than Pierce Brosnan.

For Your Eyes Only

Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you flicking a cigarette onto their corpse.

Possibly one of the hardest freezecam shots to pull off, you will need a quick finger to pull this off after getting a kill. The farming and normal methods are the same, it only matters if the subject is willing or not. Sneak up on an enemy and backstab them. Then, immediately switch to the disguise kit and taunt. With any luck, you will get the achievement. The timing is incredibly difficult, so you may have to do it multiple times to registers. Also note that there is a “crab spy” taunt as well, and this will definitely not count towards the achievement. It is random whether or not you flick a cigarette or doing the crab spy, unfortunately.

Note: You do not have to actually see the enemy corpse in the picture, just the Spy flicking the cigarette onto it. Furthermore, you don’t have to backstab, but it works easier if you do backstab, as the body will fall forward just right and switching to the disguise kit after a backstab is the easiest thing in the world

FYI I am a Spy

Backstab a Medic who has healed you in the last 5 seconds.

A hilarious achievement, this has you tricking an enemy Medic into healing you (which is the goal of another, general, achievement) and then turning around and stabbing him almost immediately afterward. It is very hard to trick good Medics into healing a Spy, so you will either have to be a really good Spy or find a really dumb Medic to pull this achievement off normally. Once you are set up for the heal, wait until the Medic’s attention is diverted and then backstab him. Achievement got!

To farm this achievement, you’ll need a friend to play an enemy Medic. Then, you should disguise as another class. We suggest a Medic, as then you can easily obtain Identity Theft as well as FYI I am a Spy. Get healed, turn around, backstab your buddy. As he should be in your friends list, you will probably also get progress towards Agent Provocateur as well.

Note: Infamously taken from this video which made the rounds in the TF2 community before the first expansion hybrid update was released. The Medic achievements have their own version, named (funnily enough) “FYI I Am A Medic”. Good times with classic TF2 gameplay.

High Value Target

Backstab an enemy who is dominating 3 or more of your teammates.

Possibly one of the hardest achievements, period. The amount of skill necessary to get a backstab on somebody with three dominations is hard in of itself. But what about them actually getting the dominations? It’s fairly hard to get that many dominations without one of them killing you. The best class to look to kill for this achievement, however, is the Engineer, as the Engineer can get plenty of dominations with a well-placed and well-maintained sentry. Simply find the Engineer that the sentry belongs to and backstab him. Also, one of the people that is being dominated by the target can be you, leading into Come In From The Cold.

To farm this achievement, you will need at least 8 friends all willing to help out. Have one friend kill your team repeatedly until he has three or more dominations. Then run up and backstab him. Achievements that this goes well with are Agent Provocateur, Counter Espionage, and Come In From The COld, so keep that in mind as you begin your farm.

Note: A high value target is any person or object that has had a significant bounty placed upon it, either in money or in strategic worth. For example, the leader of a country’s special operations school could possibly be considered an HVT. Or maybe a terrorist with a string of bombings that have injured and killed many.

Identity Theft

Backstab the enemy that you’re currently disguised as.

This one is fun! It’s both easy, as if you are near the enemy whose name you have, people won’t pay any heed, and hard, as the person whose guise you have stolen definitely will. The easiest place to do this is on the balcony of 2fort, where you can disguise as a Sniper and backstab the one you are disguised as. Granted, you will probably die shortly afterwards, but hey, at least you got the achievement! Other good targets are Medics and Engineers. Steer clear of Scouts and Pyros, as the speed and spy checks (respectively) will thwart your attempts.

To farm this one, have a friend play as a Spy, disguise as an enemy Spy (AKA you), equip the revolver, and turn his back to you. Plant that knife firmly between those shoulderblades, and you have yourself an achievement! The reason you should do all the other activities is that they lead into other achievements, such as Counter Espionage or A Cut Above. And people love to get several achievements at once!

Note: The backstab has to be the one that takes you out of the disguise. If you attempt a backstab and fail, you can’t get the achievement just because that enemy was your last disguise. You actually have to reveal yourself as not being him to get this achievement.

Insurance Fraud

Kill an enemy while you’re being healed by an enemy Medic.

An achievement along the lines of FYI I am a Spy, this one can also be prohibitively hard thanks to the paranoid nature of Medics. However, if you do find a Medic healing you, take advantage of it right away! Backstab an enemy Heavy (especially if disguised as that Heavy, thanks to Identity Theft) and then swiftly backstab either his healing medic (for May I Cut In?) or your own healing Medic (for FYI I am a Spy). Overall, if you find yourself being healed by an enemy Medic, take advantage of it!

To farm this achievement, get two friends on the opposite team and have one play Medic while the other plays Heavy. Then disguise as the Heavy, backstab the Heavy while being healed, and then backstab your own Medic. Viola, you have just acquired three achievements: Insurance Fraud, Identity Theft, and FYI I am a Spy. Great job!
Is It Safe?

Backstab 50 enemies who are capturing control points.

A fun achievement, this one has you playing the role as defense and offense in the same breath. Since you must kill 50 enemies on the control points, this achievement is not one that you can really farm. The most effective tactics to work towards this achievement is to cloak and disguise, get way behind enemy lines, and then join in with a group heading towards a control point behind their backs. As they begin capturing, stab them all to death. With any luck, you will get anywhere from one to five kills towards this achievement. It’s a good achievement to work on in tandem with Deep Undercover, as that achievement has you sticking to one place for an extended period of time.

Note: The group of achievements in this part of the guide are very similar in that several of them have to do with control points. However, they are the only achievements to involve control points in this entire list. Great!

Joint Operation

Sap an enemy sentry within 3 seconds of a teammate sapping another.

Quite possibly the only achievement on this list that requires actual teamwork, this achievement is an easy, albeit rare, one to pull off. You will need somebody that can coordinate with you to plant sappers on the sentries, as well as two sentries that are reasonably close together. Watch for your fellow Spy to plant his sapper, and then plant your sapper as well. Not that you do not actually have to destroy the gun, you only have to place the sapper on it within 3 seconds of a Spy placing a saper on another enemy sentry.

To farm this achievement, have three friends join you in a sevrer: two Engineers on the enemy team and one Spy on your team. Have the Engineers set up next to each other, and as they do that, disguise yourselves. Then sap the sentries at the same time! You may also consider backstabbing the Engineers for Identity Theft (if you are disguised as one) or Sapsucker (for sapping their gun then backstabbing them).

Note: You have to sap a sentry, not a dispenser. Therefore, the enemy team must have two Engineers, both with built sentries and preferably close by so that you can time your sappers close to one another. However, there is no range limit for this achievement.

May I Cut In?

Backstab an enemy and the Medic healing him within 10 seconds of each other.

A very easy achievement for almost any Spy, this one traditionally has you breaking up the classic Medic and Heavy pair through liberal use of your knife. To easiest way to do this is the standard infiltration: get behind enemy lines, decloak and disguise while out of sight, then run up behind enemy players and start the slaughter. Kill a Medic and his target, and you’ve netted yourself another achievement!

To farm this one, you’ll need two friends on the enemy team. have the Medic heal the other one, then backstab them both one right after the other. Like almost all of the achievements on this list, this one goes well with others, such as FYI I Am A Spy and Insurance Fraud.

Note: Your backstab is always an instant kill, so if you accidentally facestab (get a backstab from the front; a rare occurance) you will still get credit. Furthermore, you do not have to kill the Medic or his target in any aprticular order, as long as they are backstabbed within 10 seconds of each other.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Surface

Start capping a capture point within a second of it becoming available.

Another easy or hard achievement, depending on the server you are playing on, map that is chosen, and team you are with. In short, you will need to be on the final point, decloaked and disguised, as your team captures the preceding point. Once they nap the point immediately before the one you are on, it should open up to capture. Slice your knife in mid-air to remove your disguise and start capturing the point.

Farming, funnily enough, can be done in the “waiting for other players” pre-round on an empty server. Get a friend to join your team (server needs to not have team auto-balance) and have him begin capturing a point. As it captures, run to the next, locked point. As soon as the point unlocks, you will start capturing it and the achievement will be acquired!

Note: Much like several of the other Spy achievements, this one references a famous spy-oriented piece of media. In this case, it reference On Her Majesty’s Secret Surface, which was the only James Bond film to star George Lazenby in the titular role.

Point Breaker

Kill 15 enemies who are standing on a control point they own.

This achievement, much like Is It Safe?, is not an achievement that you will want to farm. This is because it will probably be acquired through normal play, and so farming will be a waste of time. The tactics for this achievement are fairly simple, but require a clean sweep in order to be effective: you must start behind enemy lines, take out any Snipers guarding the control point, then backstab anybody sitting on the point proper. Once you pull off 15 kills one one of these points, you’ll get the achievement. The other possible method is to engage in a melee on enemy points, with (hopefully) your knife meeting the back of those you are attacking.

Note: The name of this achievement is a possible allusion to Moonraker, which is yet another James Bond film and one of the most popular films in the franchise.
Sap Auteur

Destroy 1000 Engineer buildings with sappers.

Do not farm this achievement. This is a common theme for the achievements in this part of the guide, but this achievement especially. This is not an achievement that you want to farm purely because it will take so long. 1000 buildings destroyed by sappers? That’s ridiculously long! Much like Chief of Staff for the Medic, this is an achievement that you will need to earn through normal play, not by farming. Simply play the Spy and sap lots of enemy builds while preventing them from removing the sapper. Once you rack up 1000 building kills, you will get the achievement.

Note: You can damage the building with your pistol or knife and then sap it, if you wish. However, if you sap a building and it is then destroyed by something else, such as a rocket or gunfire, you will not get the achievement. The kill has to be through the sapper dealing enough damage to destroy it.

Sapsucker

Sap an enemy building, then backstab the Engineer who built it within 5 seconds.

A fun achievement, this is one of the most common Spy achievements for all Spies, new and old, to get. The reason for this is that the sapping and backstab combo is one of the most effective in the Spy arsenal. Sap a building, and while the Engineer is busy trying to remove the sapper, backstab him. Achievement got! You have to do this while the Engineer is around, however. The easiest place to do this is near the respawn room in 2fort and the flag room (or final control point) in Well.

To farm this achievement, have a friend play Engineer and build everything. Sentry, dispenser, and both teleporters, preferably all right next to each other. Sap his sentry, then backstab him, then sap the rest of his buildings. The reason for this is that it will net you both Sapsucker as well as The Man with the Broken Guns. It will also help you along towards the massive Sap Auteur achievement. You can also attempt to do both achievements at once in normal gameplay, but don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Note: You do not have to destroy the buildings with your sapper. You only have to get the sapper placed. You can even let the Engineer remove the sapper and then backstab him, for extra hilarity. We do not recommend doing this for a sentry, however, as you will die. Also, any building works, including dispensers and the two teleporter types (entrance and exit).

Skullpluggery

Headshot 20 Snipers with the Ambassador.

Whoops! Gotta have the Ambassador for this achievement! Once you have it, equip it and simply play as a pseudo-Sniper in the balconies of 2fort. As you can not zoom, you may be at a disadvantage, so you may also consider just cloaking, heading over to the enemy balcony, decloaking, and capping every Sniper there. Since you get headshots just like they do, it’ll be easy to clear the balcony, cloak, and escape before their friends show up. Because of the fact that you have to kill 20 Snipers, it is not recommended that you bother farming this achievement. After all, you don’t have to get them all consecutively or in the same life! Thank god.

Note: A pun off of the word skullduggery, which is a common word used to describe espionage, especially the kind that involves violence, such as assassinations or sabotage.

Slash and Burn

Backstab an enemy, who then switches to Pyro before they respawn.

A hilarious achievement that involves an enemy being so upset by your backstabbing that they switch to the Pyro class before respawning specifically to stop you. As is, there is no way you can control what an enemy player will do, so there is no way you can strive for this “normally” besides backstabbing lots of enemies! Farming it is much easier, as your friend can take a backstab, switch to Pyro, and you suddenly have the achievement! There’s not many achievements that go well with this one for farming, so pick and choose any achievement with backstabs to work on in tandem. May we suggest Triplecrossed?

Note: Naturally, due to the respawn limit placed upon the achievement, this achievement is almost impossible on instant respawn servers. So don’t bother trying to get it there.

Sleeper Agent

Kill an enemy who triggered your feign death in the last 20 seconds.

Naturally, you must have the Dead Ringer in order to get this achievement, so either get it through achievements or random drops. Once you have this device, feel free to use it! This achievement will probably be the first one you get after getting the Dead Ringer, thanks in part to the fact that it is the whole reason the Dead Ringer exists! Simply let yourself be hit, decloak, and backstab the offender. Instant achievement, just for you! The best place to do this is in 2fort on the balcony, as you can get hit by an enemy Sniper’s kukri, feign your death, then turn around and backstab them. Also works well on control points!

To farm this achievement, simply have a friend hit you while you have the Dead Ringer equipped. You will feign death and cloak. Immediately decloak and then backstab them. Best farmed alongside backstab achievements such as May I Cut In? or Identity Theft, thanks to the necessity of the backstab after your feign death. You can also go for the intelligence after the backstab, if you wish.

Note: A sleeper agent is one that is designed to infiltrate an organization and lay in wait. Once given the signal, they will then perform one of many different actions, such as assassination or information theft.

Spies Like Us

While cloaked, bump into an enemy cloaked Spy.

This achievement is a relatively easy achievement for the Spy, as it only requires both you and your target to be cloaked. Chances are you will get this achievement on accident, thanks to the close-quarters nature of combat in most maps. Simply run around cloaked. As soon as you bump into a cloaked enemy Spy, you will net the achievement. As is, there is no point to even farm it, as it should be one of the first achievements you get. If you really want to, though, it is easily farmed with Counter Espionage, as you can have your friend disguise as a friendly and let himself get backstabbed.

Note: Both spies must be fully cloaked in order for the achievement to trigger. If either of you are paritally cloaked, it will not count. This gives you approximately a ten second window (not counting picking up ammo to replenish your cloak) to get the achievement before your cloak must recharge.

Spymaster

Backstab 1000 enemies.

Another grind achievement, this has you performing the Spy’s characteristic backstab maneuver 1000 times. Much like the other massive grind achievements, there is absolutely no point in farming this. We mean it. Just play the game. You will get credit towards this achievement when you do any of the backstab achievements, but there is no point in sitting there and backstabbing a friend 1000 times. That’s just silly! If you need the new gear so bad, just get some of the other, less grinding achievements. We promise that if you just play the game and backstab people for this achievement, you will enjoy it more. After all, nobody likes to sit in one place for hours in a first-person shooter. That’s strictly relegated to strategy and massively multiplayer online game territories!

The Man from P.U.N.C.T.U.R.E.

Stab an enemy while fencing.

Seems like everybody is getting one of these fancy kill taunts, doesn’t it? The Spy’s taunt with the knife is now a killing taunt much like the others, and has a decent range to boot. To get the achievement, head to the enemy balcony in 2fort. Assuming nobody is around, stand next to a Sniper and taunt with your knife equipped. With any luck, you’ll stab him and net yourself the achievement. However, it does have a long start time, much like the other kill taunts, so be wary of other players. You can’t stop mid-taunt, after all. Farming this achievement is much the same, except have a friend stand still for you. As this is a taunt achievement, you can not attempt it alongside any other achievements. This is the only achievement that will net you anything from the kill taunt.

Note: Note that it is not the first two stabs that will net you this achievement, but the third and final stab, which is an instant kill for anyone unlucky enough to be in the crossfire. Also, the achievement name is a not-so-subtle nod to the famous spy television series The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

The Man with the Broken Guns

Backstab an Engineer, then sap 3 of his buildings within 10 seconds.

A difficult achievement for the unaccomplished Spy, this one requires you to possibly expose yourself to a sentry gun before spaping it, which is always a dangerous state of affairs. The best way to do it is to backstab the engineer, strafe with the rotation of the turret, and plant the sapper. With the turret down, you can go ahead and sap the other nearby buildings. In order to get the achievement, you must sap any combination of the four buildings. For practical purposes, it will probably end up being sentry, dispenser, and teleporter exit.

To get this achievement through farming, have a friend build all four buildings in a single spot. Sap the sentry, backstab your friend, then sap the rest. You should net this achievement, Sapsucker, and credit towards the Sap Auteur achievement. This Sapsucker into The Man With The Broken Guns achievment chain is one of the only achievement chains in the game, so make good use of it, farming or otherwise.

Note: This achievement is an obvious allusion to The Man With The Golden Gun, one of the better known James Bond movies. It was the second movie to star Roger Moore, and lends its titular gun to Bond in the console game Goldeneye.

The Melbourne Supremacy

Dominate a Sniper.

For any decent Spy, this achievement will be as easy as walking. Make your way to the enemy Sniper positions and have a ball. The catch is that the Sniper can’t kill you at any point, making it necessary to get the drop on them every single time. If you manage to do this several times without dying, you will net yourself a domination and the achievement. Alternatively, instead of backstabs, you can get headshots with the Ambassador. Good luck with that, though. Trying to out headshot a Sniper is like playing chicken with a nuclear bomb.

To farm this achievement, have your friend stand still while you stab him over and over until he is dominated. Instant achievement! Goes best with Die Another Way, Skullpluggery, and Identity Theft, for obvious reasons. Keep in mind that you can always let him kill you afterward for one of his achievements. It’s only fair, after all!

Note: You can be dominating the Sniper through any method, including assists. The name of this achievement is a nod to the book (and movie adaptation) The Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum, which is the second in the highly-regarded Bourne spy fiction series.

Triplecrossed

Backstab 3 Snipers in a single life.

A great achievement to get, and also an easy one, given the right map. The map in question is, of course, 2fort, thanks to the set-up of the balcony. Head up through the enemy base until you are coming in through the balcony entrance. There should be two or three Snipers sitting there and shooting. Take out your knife, and bam bam bam, you have the achievement. Especially easy there considering the radius of the backstab (180 degrees behind the Sniper) and the layout. Most Snipers just stand in a line! In fact, you could even get You only Shiv Thrice by doing it this way.

To farm this achievement, have up to three friends be Snipers. The reason for three friends is so that you can arrange You Only Shive Thrice, if you want. You can do it with only one, though. Have your friend(s) stand still while you do your thing. With one friend, you will get Melbourne Supremacy (as you will dominate the Sniper) and with three friends you will get You Only Shiv Thrice.

Note: You have to get all three backstabs without dying, as the achievement says. However, they do not have to be in order, or even remotely close in time to each other. Just three Sniper backstabs without dying.

Wetwork

Stab an enemy to death while under the influence of Jarate.

This one is one of the hardest achievement in the entire pack. Why, might you ask? Well, Jarate shorts out your cloak and exposes you as a Spy. Chances are tha tthe Sniper knows you are a Spy and will be chasing you down with one of his weapons to kill you after smashing the jar of piss all over your face. So what do you do? Well, you can try and outmanuever the Sniper, but you will probably die to the Kukri. The best method to obtain this is to simply turn around and backstab somebody else! You don’t have to backstab the Sniper that hit you. You can do anyone, as long as you have been affected by Jarate.

To farm this, have a friend splash you with Jarate. Then backstab him. You might have him splash you again while you are cloaked and let him kill you with his Kukri afterward for the achievements Jarring Transition and Jarate Chop. There’s no real achievement you can farm alongside this one, unfortunately.

Note: You must be coated in the urine of a Sniper in order to get this achievement. That means you can’t jump in water to wash it off before stabbing somebody. This achievement is also a reference to the term “wetwork”, which is a euphemism meaning “assassination”.

Who’s Your Daddy?

Headshot 3 Scouts with the Ambassador.

This achievement, much like Wetwork, is relatively hard as well. It is difficult enough to headshot Scouts as a Sniper, so you can imagine what it must be like to try and get it with the Ambassador. Our only suggestion is to simply shoot at Scouts and don’t bother trying to get this achievement except by luck. Scouts move far to fast and deal way too much damage to you to engage head on, and the Ambassador doesn’t have good range compared to the Sniper Rifle.

To farm this achievement, get your friend to stand still and do a standard double-tap: one shot to the torso and one shot to the head. The shot to the torso weakens the Scout enough that the single shot to the head will take him out. Unfortunately, this achievement can not be farmed with other achievements, as it is the only achievement that involves Scouts or headshots of somebody besides Snipers.

Note: This achievement is a hilarious reference to the Meet the Spy video, where it was revealed that the Spy had seduced and had sex with the Scout’s mother. To add insult to injury, the Spy fell in love!

You Only Shiv Thrice

Backstab 3 enemies within 10 seconds.

Another exceedingly easy achievement, this one has you performing a quick succession of backstabs. The easiest way to do this is to get behind a large enemy group, disguise and decloak, and run forward. As soon as you are in the thick of things, start backstabbing. If the group was sufficiently large enough, you’ll get the achievement without issue! You can also attempt this with a batch of Snipers hiding in battlements, if you want. Make sure they are reasonably close to each other, though.

Farming this achievement functions exactly the same way as Triplecrossed. Get three friends, preferably Snipers, and have them all stand in a line as you backstab them in quick succession. You will net yourself Triplecrossed! Alternatively, have two friends be Medics, one be a Heavy, and have each of them heal one of you (one Medic on the Heavy, other on you). Disguise as a Medic, backstab the Medic and Heavy pair, and then backstab your own Medic. Identity Theft, Insurance Fraud, FYI I am a Spy, May I Cut In?, and You Only Shiv Thrice all at once! It’s a great chain.

Note: The name of this achievement is another obvious James Bond reference. In this case, it is to You Only Live Twice, the second to last Bond film to star the original actor Sean Connery.

Ayt mates here i give ya’ the Team Fortress 2 Sniper achievement guide. If you’re itching to get some achievements using the lovable aussie sniper then here’s the post for you! Thanks to Big Download for the tip!

Australian Rules

Dominate an enemy Sniper.

Quite possibly the msot natural of all the achievements on this list, this one will most likely be one of the first you get. This is due, in part, to the fact that Snipers tend to fight each other. A lot. This means that, more than any other class, an enemy Sniper is the most likely candidate for domination. Simply be a good Sniper and clear the enemy territory of other snipers, and you’ll get this achievement in no time.

To farm this achievement, have a friend play a Sniper at the same time that you do. Then, headshot him repeatedly until you get the achievement. Viola! Achievement acquired. For added bonus, have him do the same to you to get the achievement as well! Everyone loves a friend that reciprocates favors, after all. This is also a great achievement to work on alongside Be Efficient and Self-destruct Sequence, as both of those require kills, especially headshots.

Note: You do not have to dominate using your Sniper Rifle. You can dominate with any method, including assists from Jarate, Kukri stabs, or the SMG. You simply have to dominate an enemy Sniper.

Be Efficient

Get 3 kills with the Sniper Rifle without missing a shot.

This one, contrary to what the achievement leads you to believe, is not hard. You do not need to get a kill with three consecutive shots (although it helps!). Rather, you must achieve three kills before missing a single shot. In other words, you can weaken up targets and kill them rather than attempting to get constant headshots. However, if you can get three headshot kills in three shots, all the more power to you!

Farming this achievement is best done with other achievements such as Australia Rules. Simply have a buddy stand and left you headshot him three consecutive times without you shooting anywhere else. Instant achievement. Not that in both farming and normal, you can weaken up a target with the Kukri before killing them with the Sniper Rifle, as the only qualifiers are that you do not miss a single shot and that you get the kills with the Sniper Rifle, not any other weapon.

Note: This is a reference to the Meet The Sniper video produced by Valve. The particular phrase that this achievement is derived from is at the very end of the video. You can download the full HD version of Meet The Sniper right here on Big Download!

Be Polite

Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you doffing your hat.

This one may be hard to do in normal play, as the Sniper politeness taunt is the Kukri taunt. In other words, you either have to be extremely fast in switching weapons after a headshot, or you must kill your enemy with the Kukri. Perhaps the easiest way to get this achievement is to fight off a Spy with your Kukri and then taunt once you win. If you do not win… well, that’s your problem, now isn’t it?

To farm this one, have a friend let you kill them with the Kukri. Then taunt! As long as you are doffing your hate once the freezecam triggers, you will get the achievement. No picture-taking required. As is, this achievement is best farmed alongside Kook the Spook, as that particular achievement requires multiple Kukri kills on spies. So have your friend be a Spy, and kill them a bunch! Easy as pie.

Note: Much like the previous achievement, this one is another reference to the Meet The Sniper video. It is the beginning of the last phrase of the video, and is followed by Be Efficient. You can download the full HD version of Meet The Sniper right here on Big Download!

Beaux and Arrows

Kill a Heavy & Medic pair with the bow.

To get this achievement, you must obviously have the Huntsman unlocked. That being said, this is one of the harder achievements, especially given the power of a Heavy & Medic pair and the relative weakness of the Huntsman at a long range. To do this, your best bet is to somehow get behind the pair and take them out with several quick arrow shots, preferably to the head. If the Heavy realizes what you have done, though, chances are you will be killed quickly.

The farm for this, while easy, is much like the normal method. Simply have two friends, one as a Medic healing the other as a Heavy, stand near you while you have the Huntsman. Then launch some arrows into them. Due to the continual healing from the Medic, this is a good achievement to farm alongside Pincushion, as you can stick three arrows in the Heavy before killing him, after all.

Note: While Valve has used puns before, this is perhaps one of the most groan-inducing achievements we have ever seen. For those not in the know, Beaux is pronounced “bow”. Feel free to weep at the horrible nature of this pun. It’s only natural.

Consolation Prize

Get backstabbed 50 times.

This is perhaps the only achievement in the game that actually rewards you for being terrible. As a Sniper, an enemy Spy will be likely to target you a lot of the time. Rather than kill him, simply let him backstab you. Once you have been so bad to have been backstabbed 50 times, you will get the achievement. You don’t even need to farm. Just play as a Sniper with no awareness of your surrounding. You’ll get it plenty fast enough. In the meantime, it’s time to go drink heavily.
Dead Reckoning

Kill an enemy with an arrow while you’re dead.

An oddly hilarious achievement, this one also requires the Hunstman unlock. While it seems counter-intuitive to kill an enemy after your death, several classes, most notably the Demoman and Soldier, can do so. In this case, you have to launch an arrow, be killed, and while dead have your arrow strike true. Easiest in a Sniper war, where you can launch your arrow, die to a headshot, then get the arrow kill, but can be done with any method and at medium or long range.

To farm this achievement, replicate a fake Sniper war, with your friend playing the enemy. Draw your bow, shoot, get killed, then get the kill. Viola, you have the achievement! Note that you will need to be a fair distance away so that your friend can get the headshot before your arrow makes all his blood leak out It may be a good idea to work on this achievement with another one, such as Australian Rules.

Note; You do not have to kill the enemy that killed you with the arrow. You only have to kill any enemy. So if you line up a Medic, release your arrow, and then die to a headshot, you can still get the achievement if the Medic dies.

De-sentry-lized

Destroy 3 Engineer sentry guns.

An obvious pun on “decentralized”, this achievement has you eliminating enemy sentries, which is easier said than done. The easiest way, of course, is to play on the attacking team in any attack/defense map. As sentries will be quite prolific, you can find many targets with which to gun down. Get three over the course of your career, and the achievement is yours. This is easier said than done, as Engineers will almost always be working on said guns, so you may want to headshot the Engineer before attempting to destroy the gun.

To farm this, have a friend build a sentry far enough away that, if completed, it won’t harm you. Then fully charge a shot and destroy the sentry with a single bullet. Do this three times, and the achievement is yours. Alternatively, you can destroying the in-construction sentry with your SMG or Kukri to get the achievement as well. An easy achievement to acquire through farming, but not so easy normally.

Note: The sentry guns can be in any mode of construction, from being built to fully upgraded. Naturally, a sentry is most vulnerable while being constructed, so it is best to do this achievement then.

Dropped Dead

Kill a Scout in midair with your Sniper Rifle or the Huntsman.

Possibly one of the easiest achievements to get, especially with the Sniper Rifle. Simply sit on the balcony of 2 fort and fully charge your shot. Wait for a Scout to run across the top of the bridge. Then, as the Scout jumps to your balcony, pop one in him. As you are full charged, it won’t matter where you hit. That Scout is deader than a doornail. Can also be done with a Huntsman, if you so wish.

To farm this achievement, have a friend double-jump as a Scout in front of you as your Sniper Rifle charges. Once it reaches full charge, place a shot directly into his head or center of body mass. A dead Scout equals yet another achievement! This achievement bears remarkable similarity to Jumper Stumper, except that Jumper Stumper is based around killing a rocket- or grenade-jumping enemy.

Enemy at the Gate

Kill an opponent within the first second of a round.

A hard achievement to get, unless the enemy team is idiotic. Simply put, charge your shot to maximum while waiting for the beginning of a round. Then, as soon as the gates open, fire and get a headshot on some fool unlcuky enough to stand within your line of sight. The problem with this is that most players know not to stand near the gates before a round starts, making this achievement less about skill and more about luck. Alternatively, you can attempt to kill an enemy Sniper while you are on the attacking team, as this achievement does not track whether or not you are defending or attacking.

To farm this achievement, simply set up a friend on the enemy team that will stand by the gate for you. When the gate opens, pop a headshot on him. Instant achievement, and one that does not require any other significant contribution. That single headshot is it! Then play the match as normal and keep the enemy from taking your points! Or take the enemy points. Your call.

Note: The title of this achievement is derived from the non-fiction book Enemy At The Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad, and by extension the film of the same name.

Friendship is Golden

Extinguish a burning teammate with your Jarate.

This achievement is one of the many Jarate achievements that are present in the new set. They are plentiful, but this is perhaps the easiest of all of them. As you are probably aware, Jarate extinguishes teammates that are on fire. This is a humiliating process, but he, at least they aren’t burning alive anymore! Simply toss the Jarate onto a burning buddy to get the achievement. There is no sense in farming this achievement at all, as you can get it with one hand tied behind your back.

Note: If you are really desperate, you can also throw the jar of urine at your own feet to extinguish yourself and get the achievement. As you count as your own teammate, it definitely triggers the achievement.
Have a Plan

Capture the flag in CTF.

Hoo boy. If you had to ask us which achievement you would be least likely to get while playing your class role, this one would be it. A Sniper grabbing the intel? That’s absurd! Your easiest option to get this achievement, if you wish, is to pick up the intel after one of your teammates has dropped it and return it to the drop off. If you can’t manage such luck, just be offensive! We suggest the Huntsman if you plan on using that method.

The way your farm this achievement is easy beyond belief. Join an empty server, preferably on the map 2fort. Run and get the intel. Then score with it. You don’t even need a friend on the opposite team! It’s a completely solo farm, and an easy one to boot. If you want this achievement, we suggest farming it rather than attempting it the normal way.

Note: Interestingly enough, this s the only achievement to call it a flag and not intel. However, once again, a reference to the Meet The Sniper video, which can be downloaded in full HD glory right here on Big Download. There’s only one more achievement with a reference to this video, thankfully, and it is…

Jarate Chop

Jarate and then kill 3 enemies with your Kukri.

Thank god that this one does not have to be consecutive. Otherwise it would be really hard! To get this, you obviously need the Jarate. Our suggestion is to use it on any enemy Spy you are attacking, as a quick soften with Jarate and then a few slices with your Kukri can’t hurt! Really, though, you can use it against just about anybody, as long as you are at a close range.

To farm this, have your friend be a Spy for you and have him cloak before you hit him with the Jarate. By doing this, you are simultaneously farming for this achievement, Jarring Transition, and Kook the Spook, saving on time that you could be spending playing the game proper! Naturally, you should return the favor to your friend who is graciously allowing you to slice him to ribbons.

Note: As said before, you don’t have to get them all consecutively. You also don’t have to weaken them with the Kukri as well. You just have to get the killing strike with it. So if you are going against a fully overhealed heavy, we suggest weakening him a little.

Jarring Transition

Use Jarate to reveal a cloaked Spy.

Yet another Jarate achievement! They come out of the woodworks with this expansion, and we’re not quite sure why. Either way, you need the Jarate to pull this one off, of course. It’s a rather difficult achievement to get unless you are extremely observant, as a cloaked spy can get into bases pretty much effortlessly. Unless they have been hit lately, or you bump into them, chances are you aren’t going to find any spies through random jar tossing. Your best bet is to throw jars into groups of attacking enemies, as a Spy loves to use conflict as cover for infiltration.

To farm this one, you’ll pretty much want to just do Jarate Chop, only have your friend cloak as a Spy before you dissect him like a biology experiment. By doing this, he nets you an easy two achievements! One for decloaking, and one for a Jarate + Kukri combination. Nice.

Note: This has to be a cloaked Spy. Not a gisguised one. However, a disguised AND cloaked Spy is definitely fair game for your big jar of urine.

Jumper Stumper

Kill a rocket or grenade-jumping enemy in midair with your Sniper Rifle or the Huntsman.

This achievement is much like Dropped Dead, only it revolves around rocket- and grenade-jumping enemies rather than Scouts that are in midair. Naturally, these enemies will be much weaker due to the explosions necessary to propel them, so it may be a little easier to get. Definitely easiest in 2fort, as Soldiers have a tendency to suddenly jump onto the balcony, and Demoman players love to jump across the middle area with a well-placed grenade jump from the balcony.

TO farm this achievement, have a friend continually damage himself until he can survive only one more rocket-jump. After he gets to this point, have him rocket-jump and then blow him away. Or fill him full of arrows. Your call! This achievement does not farm well with others, as it is the only achievement of its kind.

Note: Much like any othe rkill achievement, only the killing blow must be dealt with the weapon defined. If need be, they can be weakened by either your shots or the shots of your teammates.

Kill Everyone You Meet

Kill 1000 enemies.

Do not farm this achievement. I’ll say it again. Do not, under any circumstance, farm this achievement. It is a complete waste of time to farm, as you have to get 1000 kills! Just play as a Sniper in regular play. If you are an especially talented Sniper playing mainly on CTF maps, you can get this achievement in a few weeks. Either way, completely forget about “striving” for this achievement, as it will come around through normal gameplay.

Note: …this one! The full phrase in question, in case you have simply not watched the video, is “Be polite, be efficient, and have a plan to kill everyone you meet.” Now that we have sorted that out, we can use the notes for much more important things! Truth or dare?

Kook the Spook

Kill 10 Spies with your Kukri.

This one is a lot easier than you might expect, especially if you have switched out your SMG for the Razorback. As Snipers attract Spies like a rotting pig carcass attracts flies, you will have plenty of backstab attempts on your life. Thankfully, the Razorback stops this, leaving the Spy vulnerable to a quick slice from your Kukri. A few swipes, and the spook is no more. Do this ten times, and you net the achievement.

To farm this achievement, have one of your friends play as a Spy. Then kill him ten times with your Kukri. If you want, throw Jarate on him or have him backstab you first while you have the Razorback equipped so that you can work on other achievements like Shock Treatment or Jarring Transition. Thankfully, as you are mostly likely aware, you do not have to kill ten different Spies. You can kill one Spy ten times.

Note: Once again, only the killing blow must be with the Kukri. You may weaken the Spy with whatever you want. Furthermore, and most distressingly, this achievement counts friendly fire kills. If you are allowed, you can teamkill your friendly Spies for this achievement. We do not recommend or condone teamkilling, though.

My Brilliant Career

Top the scoreboard 10 times on teams of 6 or more players.

As a skilled Sniper, you should regularly be getting this achievement, as you are racking up the kills and headshots like nobody’s business. Simply play the game, and your class, as intended, and you will eventually get this achievement. Assuming that you are a good Sniper and that there are no competing Snipers. As the amount of people required to farm this achievement is exceedingly high (12 players minimum!) there is no sense in even attempting to farm it. Just play the game and enjoy your headshots. We promise that you’ll get it eventually!

Note: This achievement does not require you to be the top of the scoreboard for both teams. Just your team. Therefore, it is much easier than you might expect, as you only have to contend with your own teammates to reach the top.

Not a Crazed Gunman, Dad

In a single life, kill 3 enemies while they are achieving an objective.

A difficult achievement, to be sure, but not one that has to be that difficult. The biggest opposition you will have to getting this achievement are Spies that will sneak up on you and backstab you while you try to eliminate enemies going for objectives. Be wary of anybody approaching that looks like your teammate, and always be aware. Note that you can get this achievement in control point, payload, or capture the intel maps. In control point, simply snipe a capturing enemy. In capture the intel, snipe the enemy flag carrier. In payload, snip players that are moving the bomb. You do not have to kill all of them at once, or even get a defense with each kill. As long as the three you killed were doing an objective, it counts.

To farm this achievement, have a friend (or three) play on the enemy team and attempt to capture one of your control points. Simply pop a round into his head (or each of their heads) as they capture the point to get the achievement. Not that you must do this three times in a single life with one person, whereas with 3 people you must only do it once.

Note: So many achievements that make reference to the Meet The Sniper video! In this case, this achievement is a line said by the Sniper when his dad says that a crazed gunman and an assassin are the same thing. You can download the video in HD here on BigDownload.

Number One Assistant

Score 5 assists with the Jarate in a single round.

Naturally, you must have the Jarate unlocked and equipped in order to attempt this feat. Thankfully, you do not have to get five assists in a single life, which would be almost impossible. The single round standard is much more approachable, as you only have to get five assists befor ethe objective is achieved or time runs out. That being said, getting an assist with Jarate is easy. Just throw it onto people! As long as the Jarate is still on the player when they die, and the killer does not hav ea Medic attached, you will get the credit. After 5 assists, viola!

Farming this one requires you to have a friend be on your team as well. After all, you can’t assist yourself (well, you can, but the game doesn’t count it as an assist!). Have the opposing friend be something like a Spy or Scout, and have your allied friend be a Sniper. Then go for the achievement! Note tat you only need five assists to get the achievement, which means you can just kill the same guy five times.

Note: Undoubtedly a parody of the common “Number One Dad” merchandise that is popular everywhere. It is also (possibly) a parody of the Meet The Sniper video (again) as the Sniper is drinking from a coffee mug that says “Number One Sniper.”

Parting Shot

Headshot an enemy player the moment his invulnerability wears off.

An easy achievement to do in certain situations, and an extraordinarily hard achievement to do in others. Getting a headshot on an enemy the second they are vulnerable requires you to both not die to the invulnerability push (which is common) and be in line of sight of the player as the become vulnerable (exceedingly rare). A good place to do this is sitting in the bottom entrance of 2fort. If you need, have a Pyro help by pushing the enemy back.

You’ll need two friends to do this achievement: one to be the Medic, and one to be the target. Have the Medic charge until they can trigger it, then make the other player invulnerable. Then hav ethe Medic stop healing him and plant a bullet in that brainpan. As the invulnerability had just worn off, it will count. You do not need to wait until it runs out completely.

Pincushion

Hit an enemy with 3 arrows, without killing them.

For the first time in your career as a Sniper, you will thank enemy Medics for this achievement. It is only by their good graces that you will manage to get three arrows into an enemy without them dying. The best target for this is a Heavy that is being healed, as the overheal on the Heavy will allow him to survive all three shots without requiring more healing. So simply stay on the lookout for a Heavy and Medic pair, then fill them full of arrows! Naturally, the best place to do this is while on the balcony or in the entryway of 2fort with the Huntsman.

To farm this, have a friend play as the Heavy and another friend play as a Medic. Have the Medic overheal the Heavy, then shoot three arrows into the Heavy consecutively. The Heavy should stay alive, and you’ll get the achievement! If you want, you can also get William Tell Overkill by getting an arrow headshot on the Heavy. and pinning him to the wall by his big russian noggin.

Note: You can do anything else to the enemy both before and in-between sticking him with arrows. The only requirement is that the enemy must be alive while three arrows stick out of his body. Preferably in funny ways!

Rain on Their Parade

Jarate an enemy and the Medic healing him.

Yet more Jarate achievements! This achievement has you drenching both a Medic and his buddy. Naturally, this is best used on a Medic and Heavy pair that is busy rushing your base. A great way to get this is to quietly observe the pair as they invulnerability charge through your defenses. As soon as the über wears off, hit them with your Jarate. It’s both an easy achievement and it will help blunt the rush through your base, as your teammates will make short work of the weakened enemies.

Farming this achievement is pretty much exactly like Pincushion, only replace shooting the pair with arrows to hitting them with Jarate. Therefore, this achievement is best farmed with William Tell Overkill as well as Pincushion, thanks to having a handy dandy Medic and Heavy pair there for you to experiment on! You might also consider getting Number One Assistant as well, if you have another friend with you that can play on your team.

Note: This achievement can be done with any Medic pair. The MEdic and Heav pair is just the most traditional and most common pair out of them all.

Robbin’ Hood

Take down an intelligence carrier with a single arrow.

A relatively hard achievement, you will almost always have to get this by killing a Scout. THe easiest way is to watch for Scouts taking the upper path, which is common on just about any CTF map as there are not as many people up there. The roof in the middle of 2fort and the train cars in Well are two great examples. Simply sit and watch for the Scout, and as soon as they should up, put an arrow through their head. It’ll be difficult, thanks mostly to the incredible movement speed of the Scout, but you can pull it off!

To farm this achievement, sit in the intelligence room as one of your friends shows up as a Scout. Have him grab the intel, then line up your arrow and ace him as he stands still for you. If you want, you can try getting this achievement with Parting Shot (by having a Medic make the Scout invulnerable right before getting the intel) or Not A Crazed Gunman, Dad (by having the Scout continually get the intel while you continually kill him, racking up 3 objective defenses in a single life).

Note: The carrier does not have to be undamaged when you kill them. You can kill a carrier that has been weakened by teammates to get the achievement, if you so wish. However, if you weaken the carrier with, say, and SMG, it won’t count. This only counts after the intel has been picked up, so they can be weakened before getting the intel, then killed after they get it and it will count.

Rode Hard, Put Away Wet

Jarate an enemy that you’re dominating.

Seems like the developers really love Jarate, and they want you to use it. A lot. We’re talking a full eight out of 35 achievements that revolve around an unlockable weapon. That’s unheard of! Anyway, this achievement is a little difficult for a Sniper, as chances are you will never be close enough to a dominated enemy to throw the Jarate on him in the first place! Therefore, the best way to strive for this achievement is to Jarate an enemy Spy that you have killed multiple times. You’ll need to be alert enough to see enemy Spies, but if you can get one multiple times without dying and then Jarate him, you’ll get the achievement.

To farm this, do any of the achievements that require you to kill people, such as Self-destruct Sequence or Jarate Chop. Doing those achievements will inevitably net you a big fat domination, which you can then go use your Jarate on. A relatively easy achievement to farm, assuming you are doing other achievements at the same time (which you should be).

Note: You can be dominating the enemy through any method, including (ironically) domination by Jarate assists. There’s nothing quite as humiliating by getting hit by Jarate five times in a row.

Saturation Bombing

Jarate 4 enemy players with a single throw.

Will they stop with the Jarate achievements? Apparently so, as this is the last of the Jarate achievements and the one that is arguably (next to Number One Assistant) the easiest to get, either by normal gameplay or by farming. In normal gameplay, this achievement is easily acquired by simply staying up on the balcony of any map and waiting for a concentrated rush. As soon as they rush towards the objective in a group, throw your Jarate at them. Easy achievement! There is no point in farming Saturation Bombing, as it is so easy to get it normally. Goes well with Rode Hard, Put Away Wet (as chances are you are dominating one of the group) as well as Number One Assistant.

Note: Nobody will be upset with you if you happen to get more than four enemies with a single throw of your Jarate. So don’t fret about getting exactly 4 enemies hit.

Self-destruct Sequence

Headshot 10 enemy Snipers.

Another easily attained achievement if you are playing the game normally, much like Australian Rules. Nothing gets the blood pumping, the bullets whizzing, and the wounds appearing than a good old-fashioned Sniper war. The most common map for this is 2fort, so if you want to get this achievement, chances are you should play on a 24/7 2fort server. Simply play as Sniper for a few minutes, getting headshots left and right, and you’re set! Naturally, no headshots on regular players count, but it does not have to be ten consecutive headshots. Just ten in total!

To farm this, simply have a friend play as Sniper and stand still as you shoot him in the head ten times. Since the achievement only asks for ten headshots on Snipers, you can headshot the same Sniper multiple times without problem. This achievement is easily farmed with Australian Rules (for obvious reasons), The Last Wave, and Be Efficient.

Note: This achievement counts both arrow and rifle headshots, which means that you can also attempt to get Dead Reckoning along with this achievement if you so wish. The title of the achievement is also cryptic, so we have no clue what it could be a reference to!

Shafted

Stab an enemy with an arrow.

Another achievement that requires the Huntsman, this achievement follows the same form as every taunt achievement before it, such as OMGWTFBBQ. Get the weapon out, taunt near an enemy, and watch as your taunt damages or kills them. In the case of shafted, you stab at the enemy with an arrow from the Huntsman. Naturally, the best place to do this is next to an enemy that is not paying attention, suck as… an enemy Sniper. So the best time to try this is to get into an enemy Sniper area and get right up next to them before taunting. Farming this achievement is simple as well, since there are no other achievements that you can farm with. Simply get a friend to stand still while you stab him.

Note: Stabbing an enemy is not an instant kill, interestingly enough. Rather, you stun the enemy, who is then killed when you pull the arrow out of him.

Shock Treatment

Kill a spy whose backstab attempt was blocked by your Razorback.

Another unlockable-based achievement, this one requires you to be attentive as well as have the Razorback equipped. When a Spy backstabs you while you have the Razorback, it will break and his backstab attempt will be blocked. Then turn around and slice him up with the kukri. Once you do this, you will get the achievement. You do not have to kill the Spy with your Kukri, but it is the fastest way to do so. The SMG does not deal enough damage and your primary weapon (Rifle or Huntsman) will likely miss that close.

To farm this achievement, have a buddy backstab you while you have the Razorback equipped. Then turn around and kill him. It’s as easy as that! This achievement, unfortunately, can not be farmed with Jarring Transition or Jarate Chop, as both the Razorback and the Jarate replace the SMG. This forces you to use one or the other. However, it does count towards Kook the Spook.

Note: The problem with this achievement is that a Spy can see your Razorback as you carry it. Therefore, they can back up and attempt to kill you from a distance with one of the revolver weapons. Therefore, this achievmeent may be fairly difficult, thanks to the Razorback being clearly visible.

Shoot the Breeze

Kill a fully invisible Spy in a single hit.

Possibly the hardest achievement in this entire update, SHoot the Breeze has you killing an enemy Spy that you can not see with a single shot. As most Spies will cloak outside the range of vision of a Sniper, you are out of luck unless the Spy bumps into somebody or is shot on accident. The subsequent outline glimmer will let you pinpoint where he is, and then plot his movements and kill him. Note that you do not have to headshot the Spy, but it certainly helps. Also, a fully-charged shot will kill a Spy with a body hit.

Farming this achievement is the way to go, as it simply has a Spy cloaking and standing still for you as you get a headshot. Because of this, it goes well with any of the kill or headshot achievements. However, if you throw a Jarate on the Spy first, it will not count towards this achievement, as the Jarate shorts out the Spy cloak.

Note: A Spy that has been bumped into still counts as a “fully invisible Spy”. It is only the Spy that is cloaking or decloaking that is not susceptible to ths achievement. Also, this achievement name is an idiom that essentially means “to do nothing”. In this case, it refers to the breeze being invisible, much like the Spy.

Socket to Him

Headshot an enemy Demoman.

An extremely easy achievement, all you have to do is headshot an enemy Demoman. There is nothing else required! No fancy footwork or interesting goals, just a good old-fashioned headshot. Therefore, simply play the Sniper as you should and kill everybody with headshots! You will eventually hit a Demoman, netting you the achievement. Farming this one is absolutely silly, as you can do it effortlessly through normal play, especially on maps with wide-open spaces such as 2fort. So don’t even bother to farm this.

Note: I promise that this is the last of these type of achievements. What type of achievements? Ones that reference the Meet the Sniper video. This achievement is in the game because of the sniping of an enemy Heavy that results in collateral damage to an enemy Demoman. To hilarious effect, of course.
The Last Wave

Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you waving to them.

The Sniper is the only class that has two freezecam achievements, so this achievement is rather unique. The waving taunt is the one used for the Sniper Rifle, so simply get a headshot and then taunt. Make sure that you aren’t in the open or in the midst of Sniper wars when you taunt, however, as it leaves you a huge target for any enemy Snipers to blow away.

Farming this achievement goes well with any headshot achievement. The best possible achievement to do in tandem with this one, however, is Shoot the Breeze. Simply headshot a friendly enemy Spy, taunt, and all of a sudden you have two achievments! The reason Shoot The Breeze is the best to farm with is because of the rather hard nature of the achievement. Fully-cloaked Spies are, naturally, difficult to see!

Note: The enemy does not have to take a picture with F5. You must be approximately one-third of the way through the taunt in order for the achievement to register (the point at which the Sniper jumps and waves).

Triple Prey

In a single round, kill the same enemy with 3 different weapons.

This achievement is a relatively easy one, given the fact that you have three weapons to choose from. Naturally, as the weapons must be lethal, you can not use Jarate to work towards this achievement. You have four weapons (Huntsman, Sniper Rifle, Kukri, SMG), and any combination of them will work. That’s right, you can change weapons in the middle of the round to get this achievement. In fact, it is suggested. Get a headshot with the Sniper Rifle, a headshot with the Huntsman, and a melee kill with the Kukri, and you will snag this achievement.

To get this particular achievement, have a friend play as Spy and let himself be killed three times. The first time should be cloaked and with the Sniper Rifle, for Shoot the Breeze. The second and third should be with the SMG and Kukri. The Kukri kills will count towards Kook the Spook!

Note: This does not have to be in a single life, just a single round. That’s why you can change from Huntsman to Sniper Rifle and vice versa.

Trust Your Feelings

Get 5 kills with the Sniper Rifle without your scope.

An extremely hard achievement, this one involves going against every instinct you have as a Sniper. That’s right, you have to fire your Sniper Rifle from the hip. There’s no real good point in which this is good, although you might be able to pull it off when a Spy is attacking you. If you are truly lucky, you might even get an unscoped headshot! Now that is something to tell your friends about. Since this achievement is so hard, it is suggested that you farm it. There’s no real good achievements to farm with this one, so just have a friend stand still while you shoot them from the hip.

Note: You can weaken the enemy with SMG or Kukri attacks before killing them with the Sniper Rifle. It will not penalize you. You can also get a headshot if you are really lucky, and it will count towards the headshot achievements.

Uberectomy

Kill a Medic that is ready to deploy an ÜberCharge.

This achievement is not as hard as you would think. Medics tend to deploy an über when assault a heavily fortified enemy position or if they come under attack while their über is ready. Choose a good spot where you can take out medics with their über filled and they won’t notice you. Kill them with a single headshot, and you’ll get the achievement before they can do anything.

To farm this achievement, have a Medic heal a Heavy until he has an übercharge, and then headshot the Medic. You may want to drop a Jarate on them for good measure and use a Huntsman to kill them, as you can get Rain on Their Parade and William Tell Overkill along with Uberectomy.

Note: You do not have to headshot with the Sniper Rifle, it’s just the easiest as it does not give the Medic the ability to go invulnerable. With the other weapons, you must hit multiple times to kill the Medic, and with the Huntsman your projectile can be seen before it hits.

William Tell Overkill

Pin an enemy Heavy to the wall via his head.

This achievement should not be bothered with farming, as it is so ridiculous that you do not even need to try farming. Simply headshot Heavies in narrow corridors or near walls with your Huntsman. Eventually you will kill one and the Heavy will stick to the wall by his head. This is by virtue of the fact that killing an enemy with an arrow will pin his ragdoll to the surface that the arrow ends up hitting. You can not pin the Heavy to the ceiling or floor, either. It must be a (mostly) vertical surface

Note: This achievement is an obvious nod to William Tell Overture, the end of the famous William Tell opera. It alludes to the shooting of the apple on the head by William Tell, which was a popular legend before the opera was produced.

Autoclave

Assist in burning five enemies with a single übercharge on a Pyro

Doing this normally is fairly easy. Just attach yourself to a pyro and build your übercharge. If you get it your über, it’s a good idea to tell your attached pyro that you have it, so you can work towards getting the achievement. Remember, you have to burn 5 people all in a single über, so running at a group of enemies is the way to go. Try to avoid defensive emplacements as well, as they can cause too much knockback for you.

Farming it works the same way. Get 5 people willing to be burned, über a pyro, and get to it. Great achievement to work with if the enemy is working on the Infernal Medicine achievement.

Tip: You can burn the same people 5 times. It still counts as burning 5 enemies. You just have to wait until the flames go out the first time. Also, it’s useful to build über on another player, such as a heavy or soldier, and switch to the pyro when need be.

Infernal Medicine

Extinguish one hundred burning teammates

This one is all about the grind. To do this in normal play, just keep an eye out for a pyro setting people on fire. Remember that if you use your medigun on somebody on fire, it extinguishes it. So if he sets a whole bunch of people on fire, just rapidly switch between them to work on the achievement. You’ll get it eventually.

To farm this achievement, get a whole bunch of players from your team, an enemy pyro, and have him set them on fire. Just have yourself put out the fires, and you’ll get it fairly quickly. This is a good one to work with Autoclave, as chances are an enemy medic healing the pyro wants the Autoclave achievement, and the achievement only requires burning, not death.

Tip: You need only briefly tag a burning player with your medigun to extinguish them. If you do brief tags, you’ll earn it faster when farming, and let yourself get back to normal healing in regular play.

Hypocritical Oath

Kill an enemy spy that you have been healing.

This is a middling achievement to get in normal play. It’s not common, to get it, but not hard. Here’s two ways to do it in normal play. First off, if you see a spy sapping some sentries, heal him quickly, then run up and bonesaw him. You’ll get the achievement extremely easily. Second, if the guy you are healing suddenly gets the “Master of Disguise” achievement because you healed him, he’s a spy. Kill him, and you’ll get the Hypocritical Oath.

As for farming it, well, it’s really easy. Cooperate with an enemy spy. Have him disguise and call for medic. heal him, and bonesaw him back to the stone age. You’ll get both Hypocritical Oath and one more step towards FYI I’m A Medic.

Tip: You don’t have to use the bonesaw, but it deals the most damage in your arsenal, and is humiliating to boot.

FYI I am a Medic

Use a bonesaw to kill five enemy spies who have been calling for Medic.

This one is entertaining, and was inspired by this video of a hilarious spy kill. As for obtaining it in normal play, look for players acting suspiciously and asking for heals. If you manage to catch one, bonesaw him. On a normal server, it’s both a good spy check and a way to progress towards FYI I’m A Medic.

If you are farming, well, get several spies to disguise as a friendly player in front of you, and have them yell medic. Kill them, and away you go. You only need 5 kills, making this achievement absurdly easy to farm.

Big Pharma

Assist a heavy in killing twenty enemies where neither of you die

This is the one that requires the most farming, as doing this in normal gameplay is next to impossible. However, if you want to do this in normal gameplay, my suggestion is to get at least 2 medics on a single heavy and have him start killing guys like crazy. This is a perfect achievement for defensive teams, as you can just retreat if either of you start to hurt.

Farming this makes the achievement far easier. Get on a CTF map with 30 minutes. Get a bunch of guys on BLU, and the heavy and a medic on RED. Bring the heavy to the spawn entrance, and just have him let lose. Works best if the majority of BLU players are scouts. Make sure to watch your ammo reserves, and pick up weapons from fallen scouts. Done right, you can get a Big Pharma achievement for the healing medic once every minute.

Tip: Only the person getting the assist point gets this achievement. So make sure not to keep the other players from it by continuing to heal the heavy after you have it.

Blunt Trauma

Assist in punching two enemies with a single übercharge on a Heavy

This one can be hard or easy, depending on the heavy you are attached to. Either way, you have to let him know that you are going for this achievement, because it’s not an achievement you are likely to run across in normal play. If your heavy tends to get right up against the enemy (some do), then ask him to switch to fists. Once he does, über him, and you’ll be great. If he’s the kind of heavy that keeps far away, you’ll have to convince him to be a close heavy for a few minutes while you punch people.

This one is really easy to farm. Charge an über, get two enemies to stand next to each other, uber the heavy and have him punch them both. Takes almost no time whatsoever, and minimal effort.

Tip: You only need to punch them, not kill them.
Ubi Concordia, Ibi Victoria

Assist in killing five enemies on an enemy control point in a single life

This can be easy or hard, depending on the team you are playing on, the map you are playing on, and the current team’s strategy. This is extremely easy to do if you are playing on the defensive team on certain maps, or if your team is currently on the defensive. Attach to a heavy, soldier, pyro, or demoman, and assist them in killing enemies trying to take the point. All you have to do is stay alive until 5 are killed, and you will have the achievement. If you are attacking, this is a little more difficult, but still possible. Attach to one of the aforementioned offensive classes, and start capturing. Let an enemy player get on the point to block the capture, and kill them. Do this 5 times (either on the same point or multiple points), and you’ll be set.

For farming this, hop into a control point map with at least 4-5 players on the enemy team, and one demoman on your team. Capture a point, and have the demoman plant stickies on it. Get the enemies to run on the point, heal the demoman, and have him detonate. Instant achievement.

Tip: Only you have to survive. If your benefactor dies, don’t worry. just find another. And beat yourself up for letting a comrade die. You’re a doctor!

Medical Breakthrough

Assist in destroying five enemy Engineer buildings with a single Übercharge on a Demoman

This one is of middling difficulty, no matter whether you are attacking or defending. Make sure to charge your über before putting yourself in danger. Then attach to a demoman, and run at an entrenched enemy position. For a defending team, this will usually be a fair bit away from the front line, but close enough to cut down on travel time. For the attacking team, it should be near whatever objective you must capture. Sticky the area and detonate. You may have to hit multiple sentries/dispensers/teleporters with the same über, so move quickly.

To farm this achievement, get two engineers on the opposite team, and a demoman on your team. Have the two engineers build all of their deployables except for their sentries. Make sure you have your über charged, have the demoman plant the stickies, trigger the über, and detonate. Instant achievement.

Tip: You must be the one who gets the assist points. If someone else is getting them, you won’t get the achievement. Also, this is easiest to do on deployables which aren’t sentries.

Consultation

Assist a fellow Medic in killing five enemies in a single life

This one can be hard if your buddy isn’t good at playing the combat medic, which is fairly common. Here’s the easiest way to do it, though. Attach yourself to a medic, and have both of you charge your übers. Once you have your über, have your attached medic pull out a bonesaw or syringe gun and go after some enemies. If you run across a particularly bad enemy (heavy, soldier) then use the über. You’ll still get credit for the kills, even while in über. Just remember that you don’t have to über to get the achievement.

To farm, attach to a medic, and have the opposing team choose five scouts. Have your attached medic bonesaw them to kingdom come. Simple and effective.

Tip: Once again, only the person getting assist points gets credit for this achievement, so it might be wise to only have one medic per attacker.

Surgical Prep

Have an Ubercharge ready before the set up phase ends

This one is easy or hard, depending on the map. With the new update that increases the amount of über gained while charging it during set-up, it’s a fairly easy achievement to get on most default servers. Just attach yourself to a teammate and continue to heal him. Make sure nobody else is healing your target, though, because it will slow down your charge and can prevent you from getting the achievement Easiest in conjunction with House Call.

You can’t farm this, as it takes place before the match starts. Just go for it normally.

Tip: You can charge faster by having your target hurt himself. This is only a marginal increase in charging, but any increase is better than none.

House Call

Join a game that one of your friends is in and then deploy an ÜberCharge on him

This one doesn’t even require farming. It’s best to do normally. Join a friend’s game through the friends tab on the Steam community bar. Once you are in-game, make sure to join your friend’s team. Be sure that you can get über before the round ends, other you’ll have to reconnect through the friends tab. After you get your charge, run to your friend, heal, and über. The achievement should pop up right away. No need to farm this achievement.

Tip: This achievement is best gotten while trying to get the Family Practice achievement, as this über also counts towards family practice.

Family Practice

Übercharge ten of your steam community friends

Hopefully you are lucky enough to have ten real-life friends who play TF2! If you aren’t this lucky, though, just add cool people on your favorite server to your friends list. Continue to play, and über them when you get the chance. You will eventually get this achievement, although maybe not immediately.

To farm this, just add everybody in the server you are in to your friends list. Ask them to accept, and then über them each in turn. You’ll get it lickity split. Don’t try outside of farming servers, though, as you’ll probably piss people off with your friending spam.

Tip: They have to be 10 different friends. You can’t über the same friend 10 times.

You’ll Feel a Little Prick

Assist in killing three enemies with a single Übercharge on a Scout

This one can be easy or hard, depending on the size of the map. If it’s a close quarters map, it should be fairly easy to accomplish. Build up your übercharge on a soldier, heavy, or other class before finding a scout to attach to. After you have your über, proceed to latch onto said scout and rush the enemy. Get as close to an enemy group before übering, and make sure that you keep the scout übered during his rampage. If the scout gets 3 kills, you’ve got it! If he doesn’t, well, try again.

To farm this, get the enemy team to choose three scouts, and attach yourself to another scout. As soon as you have über, über him and get the kills. Achievement unlocked!

Tip: Like all the assist achievements, you have to be to one to get the points or it doesn’t count

Blast Assist

Assist in exploding five enemies with a single Übercharge on a Soldier

This one is fairly easy, as long as you are on the offensive. As always, charge your über, although you can potentially do it on the soldier you will be working with. Once you have the über, get as close as possible to a group of enemies and let loose the mayhem. After the dust clears, you should hopefully have the achievement. If not, try again.

To farm this one, just charge an über, get 5 scouts from the enemy, and have the soldier unload his rockets at them. Easy as cake, and probably one of the easiest achievements to farm.

Tip: Two things to keep in mind. First of all, it has to be a gib kill from the rocket launcher. Second, you can’t use the Kritzkrieg, as its über’s don’t count. It sucks, but that’s the way it works.

Doctor Assisted Homicide

Assist in killing twenty nemeses

This one is incredibly hard to get, and will probably take the most time out of any achievements here. Basically, hope you get lucky in normal play with your healing, as there’s no real way to tell who has what nemesis. Having your teammates call out when they have a nemesis might help it along faster.

For farming, get you and a ton of players on one team, and a heavy on the opposite team. Have the heavy slaughter each player until they have nemesis against him, and then heal each one in turn as they kill the heavy. You’ll get it a lot faster (although still slowly compared to the other achievements on this list).

Tip: They must be the nemesis of the person you are healing not your nemesis. You don’t have to share a nemesis either.

Peer Review

Kill fifty Medics with your bone saw

Middling difficulty to get. At the moment, as most players are medics, you can just grind it by playing the game like a deathmatch and bonesawing everyone in sight. However, when things begin to return to normal, it’ll be difficult. The best way to work on this is to have another medic heal you while you go on your killing rampage, especially since he’ll get further towards the Consultation achievement.

Farming this involves getting a whole ton of medics in a group and killing them all over and over again. It’s a great way to get the Sawbones achievement as well, as chances are you’ll land 5 hits without missing with no problem. Just grind at it until you get it.

Tip: Friendly kills count! So if the server you are on doesn’t care too much, have a friendly killfest to grind for the achievement.

Sawbones

Hit enemies with your bone saw five times in a row without dying or missing

This one is fairly easy to get. The easiest way to get it in normal play is to suicide rush a group of enemies by surprise. Chances are, you’ll get the necessary hits in for the achievement before they kill you. You can also do careful hit-and-run tactics, smacking an enemy with a bonesaw and then doing it to another person later. As long as you don’t miss or die, it counts.

To farm this achievement, get either a heavy with an attached medic or a bunch of enemies to oppose you. Hit them with the bonesaw until you get the achievement. It’s extremely easy to get in farming if you pay attention to what you are doing.

Tip: As the description said, it has to be an enemy. Friendlies, even with friendly fire on, count as a miss.

First Do No Harm

Play a full round without killing any enemies and score the highest on a team of six or more players

This one is fairly easy to do if you happen to be a good medic. Attach yourself to good players who stay alive and kill lots of people. As long as you are getting the assist points, you should get the achievement if you happen to get more assist than somebody else gets points. Overall, easy to do for an accomplished medic, especially one that can switch easily between their heal targets. Also, keep in mind it has to be on a team of 6+, including yourself (so you and 5 others).

This one is also pretty easy to farm. Attach to a heavy and get the assists for his slaughter of the willing enemy team. Then have him stop, and have yourself attach to another player to get more assist points outside of the heavy (otherwise you’ll be even and you won’t get it). Make sure you are on top, and you’ll get it as long as you don’t kill anyone.

Tip: Friendly fire doesn’t count as a kill, and at the moment, gives you points. You can slaughter teammates and get the achievement.
Trauma Queen

Deploy three Übercharges in less than five minutes and assist in five kills during that time

This achievement is a lot easier than it looks. First of all, in normal combat, if you refrain from dying, you can build an übercharge to 100% in 30-45 seconds. Second, you only have to assist. The assists do not have to be while the recipient of your healing is übered. Keeping these two things in mind, it’s very easy to do this achievement in normal play.

To farm this achievement, immediately get 5 kill assists. Then go and work to build your übercharge and deploy it three times in turn. You’ll get it pretty fast, especially if you know how to build über at a fast rate.

Tip: You can die while doing this achievement! So don’t be afraid to get down and dirty.

Medical Intervention

Save a falling teammate from dying on impact

This one can be pretty hard to do normally. Your best bet is to overheal a soldier and stay on him. As soldiers tend to get flung around a lot, you’ll eventually get the achievement for saving him from falling damage. The same goes for attaching to a demoman. Just keep in mind that if they are hit by a critical, they will almost always instantly die.

To farm this achievement, get a soldier to rocket jump a bunch. Eventually, he’ll reach a low enough health that he’ll die on impact. Heal him as he falls, and he’ll get the achievement. It’s a fairly easy achievement to get if you know what to do. You can also do it with the demoman.

Tip: In order for it to count as saving him from death, he has to be at a low enough health at the apex of the jump to die by hitting the ground.

Triage

Deploy an Übercharge on a teammate less than a second before they are hit by a critical explosive

This one can be very easy to get, if you pay attention. Play 2Fort, and stay in the towers. Watch your sniper buddies. If you see a critical rocket heading their way (not an uncommon occurrence), wait until right before it hits and then activate an über. You should get the achievement. Another good time to do it as a teammate passes by a critical sticky. Finally, if you über someone in a cluster of soldiers and demos, chances are you will get the achievement.

To farm this achievement, find someone with the Kritzkrieg. Have them charge their über and then use it on a soldier. Have the soldier shoot a rocket at you and a teammate, and activate the über right before it hits. You should get the achievement right away.

Tip: Explosives are currently the soldier’s rocket and the demoman’s grenades and pipe bombs.

Group Health

Work with two other medics to deploy three simultaneous Übercharges

This one is rare to get without cooperating to farm. However, if you are attempting it during normal play, just attach to a heavy or soldier that already has a few medics on him. When you see an über get deployed on him deploy your own. Someone will probably see you, realize you are trying to get the achievement, and toss in the last über, giving you the achievement.

To farm this, makes a team consisting of 3 medics and a soldier. Have the soldier damage himself as you heal him to build über, and then when you all have it, deploy the übercharges. You should instantly get the achievement.

Tip: All of the übers must be on the same person

Play Doctor

In a team with no Medics, be first to switch to Medic after a teammate calls medic and heal 500 health

This one can be easy, but you have to be playing on a server with no medics on your team. When you hear a call for medic, instantly switch. Run up to the shouter and heal them, as they should need the heal and it will put you closer to Grand Rounds. Continue to be a good medic, and you should get the achievement without any issues whatsoever, and in no time at all. The key is to find a server with no medics.

To farm this, get a single heavy on your team, and nobody else. Have him call for medic, and switch to medic. Then heal him 500 points. You should get the achievement extremely easily, and will (of course) progress one more closer to Grand Rounds.

Tip: This doesn’t count either the size of the team, or if there are medics on the other team. It only applies to your own team, regardless of size.

Does It Hurt When I Do This?

Kill fifty Scouts with your syringe gun

This one can be hard in regular play, just by virtue of taking a very long time. Whenever you see a scout, whip out your syringe gun and plaster him with needles. Eventually, you will have killed 50, and will have the achievement. Good places to catch scouts unaware are while they are capping control points or in a flag room.

To grind this, just have the opposing team play all scouts. Then mow them down continually with your syringe gun. It’s very easy to farm with cooperation. Just keep in mind that it doesn’t have to be all in a single life, so you can quit and come back to farm the rest of it later.

Tip: You can’t use the Blütsauger. It has to be the original syringe gun.

Preventative Medicine

Block the enemy from capturing a control point with an übercharged teammate.

This one is sort of luck-based to acquire in normal play, considering the fickle nature of unlocking the achievement. Basically, an enemy must be capturing the point, and you must über a teammate who then runs onto the point while übered. You can’t block the capture and then über. It won’t count towards the achievement. As for where to do this, just play defense on any map that is divided into Attackers and Defenders (like granary) and you should be set up perfectly for this achievement.

To farm this achievement, have an enemy stand on a point you control after you have built up your übercharge. Deploy your über, then have your buddy run onto the point. Voila, instant achievement. Rather simple, really, and relatively painless. You may have to try a few times, however, as the achievement trigger is finicky.

Tip: The über must be from the medigun, not the kritzkrieg.
Second Opinion

Ubercharge two teammates at once.

This is a pretty difficult achievement to pull off. Farming this or doing it normally is the same process, so there won’t be a separation of which to do. Basically, find or arrange two teammates that are standing next to each other. Charge up your uber, and then uber one. Shortly after the medigun locks onto the teammate (about 1 second of uber) stop ubering that teammate and switch to the one next to him. If you do it fast enough, you will have two teammates ubered at the same time, giving you the achievement.

Tip: As always, the Kritzkrieg doesn’t count towards uber.

Double Blind Trial

Deploy an Ubercharge within eight seconds of a nearby enemy medic deploying his

This one is very easy to do. Attach to somebody and get to the front lines. Get your uber charged, and make sure to stay alive. When you see an enemy medic deploy his uber, deploy yours. Easy to do, even if you aren’t paying attention due to the heat of battle. Keep in mind that if you or the enemy is ubering with the Kritzkrieg instead of the normal medigun, the achievement won’t work.

To farm this achievement, get an enemy medic to charge his uber, and charge your own. Once the enemy medic deploys his, deploy yours. You will get the achievement. The ubercharge doesn’t have to have a target, it just has to be deployed.

Tip: It can be 8 seconds before or after an enemy medic deploys his uber. So if you deploy it and the enemy does, you will still get the achievement.

Autopsy Report

Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you taunting above their ragdoll

This is an entertaining one, and depends entirely on the other player. Basically, you have to give a player a screenshot of you taunting over their corpse. To count towards the achievement, the screenshot must contain you performing your taunt as well as any body part of the dead player’s corpse in the picture. If you are not preforming the taunt at the point the freezecam occurs, or the body can’t be seen, the achievement will not unlock.

To do this normally, you have to give up being a normal medic. Whip out your syringe gun and bonesaw and get some killing done. After each kill, no matter where you are, run to the corpse and taunt. This is only effective at close range, so the bonesaw is your best bet for reaching the body in time.

To farm this, just get an enemy willing to screencap you after you kill them. Bonesaw them to death, run forward, and taunt over the body. It is best done near a wall, because the time to do the taunt is within a second and a half after performing the kill.

Note: The dead player has to take a screenshot (by pressing F5) of the freezecam taunt. Otherwise it doesn’t count. You also have to be the one doing the killing.

Bedside Manner

Be healing a teammate as he achieves an achievement of his own

This one is almost sheer luck to obtain. To do it normally, just run around healing people. Chances are one of them will eventually get an achievement, netting you Bedside Manner. If you are observant, look for people that are trying to obtain achievements and hel them. These are your only two options, really.

To farm this, get a teammate without Autoclave, a pyro, and 5 enemies. Have the teammate farm the Autoclave achievement while you heal him, and you will get the achievement. This is just one example of an achievement that is easy to get that you can use to obtain Beside Manner. In reality, any achievement that is easy to obtain will do for farming.

Tip: They can be the original 18 achievements. It doesn’t have to be the 36 medic achievements.

Grand Rounds

Heal two hundred teammates after they have called for Medic

This one is a pain to get normally. basically, if you see someone shout medic, run to them and heal them real quick. You don’t have to heal them all the way, just quickly heal a few points and then continue on your way. Eventually you’ll get it.

To farm this one, get a team of all medics. Have them continually spam the medic call (default: e) and just rapidly switch between them. While it takes a bit of time, it takes significantly less time to farm than doing the achievement normally.

Tip: You can’t just have the person you are healing yell medic constantly while you are locked on. However, if he yells medic, you heal him and stop, and he yells again, it counts. It’s only if you are currently healing somebody calling for medic that it doesn’t count.

Midwife Crisis

Heal an Engineer as he repairs his sentry gun while it’s under enemy fire

This one can be hard, mostly because if a sentry gun is under fire, it will normally be destroyed before you can get there. But here’s how to do it normally. Attach to an engineer and stay with him as he builds up his stuff. If he is a defensive engineer, he will stay with the sentry and guard it, making sure it stays fine. Stay with him. When the sentry gun comes under attack, make sure you are healing him. It’s a hard achievement to time correctly, because the timing on what counts for “sentry gun under fire” is a little odd. So just make sure you are continually healing.

To farm this, get your engineer to build a level 1 sentry behind a wall or something so that enemy players can strafe in and out of its line of sight. Get a medic, heavy, or sniper to shoot the sentry with their automatic weapons, as that’s the easiest way to get it to count as “under fire”. Have the engineer repair it while you heal him. Instant achievement.

Tip: The engineer doesn’t actually have to be hurt, you just have to be healing him. This counts for both Kritzkrieg and medigun.

Combined Fire

Use your shotgun to finish off 20 players you’ve ignited.

This one is a fairly easy one to get in normal play, especially since you’ll most likely end up switching to shotgun when your targets start to escape anyways. Just whip out that shotgun and blast away while they run from your awesome pyro self. They should be running from you in the first place anyways. A great place to do this is in the entrance of 2fort. Thankfully, this doesn’t have to be done in a single life, so just have at it and enjoy yourself.

To farm this, just get the opposing players to line up for you. Make sure they are all scouts. Set them on fire and then kill them with the shotgun. It’s pretty much the same as normal play, except they stay nice and still. Just make sure that you kill them one at a time. If you ignite a whole line and then try to kill them with the shotgun, the ones on the end might burn out before you reach them. Or they might die from the burning.

Tip: They must currently be burning for the kill to count. They can’t have burned out before you kill them.

Firewall

Ignite 5 Spies who have a sapper on a friendly building.

This one really depends on your personal play style. Most players are offensive pyros, so won’t get this achievement unless they actually try for it. Basically, just hang back near engineer goodies. If you see someone come up, keep an eye on them. If they sap the buildings, torch them. Much like the last achievement, this doesn’t have to be in one life, so it’s fairly easy to get when you actually try. It can sometimes pay to hide, because spies a lot of times won’t make any moves with pyros around

To farm this achievement, get two engineers on your team and five spies on the enemy team. Have your engineers set up all their buildings, and then have the spies disguise and sap the buildings. Torch the spies, and congratulations, you’ve both gotten the achievement and gotten halfway to I Fry!

Tip: The spies don’t have to die, just be ignited.

Cooking the Books

Ignite 5 enemies carrying your intelligence.

Much like firewall, this requires that you play a very defensive pyro game. Hang around the intel room, lurking around corners and letting enemies sneak past you to grab the intel. As soon as they do, burst from the shadows and set them on fire. It’s both a great way to defend your intel as well as get this achievement. If you really feel like it, just hide behind the intel counter and pop up to flame them when they show up.

To farm this, get five enemies in your intel room. Have one take the intel and let you torch him. As soon as he is on fire, have him pass the intel. Doing it this way, you can get it in about 15 seconds with zero hassle. It’s a fairly easy achievement normally though, so it doesn’t really require farming to complete.

Tip: As with all igniting achievements, you don’t have to kill the target. Also, this doesn’t have to be done on a single life.

Spontaneous Combustion

Ignite 10 cloaked Spies.

Doing this normally is as much luck as anything. If you are playing against skilled spies, chances are you will never get the chance to get this achievement. However, the easiest way to get it is to loiter around entryways and paths, waiting for a spy to bump you. As soon as they do, torch ‘em. Tack one more towards your goal of 10 burning spies!

To farm this, get a spy and medic on the opposing team. Have the spy cloak in front of you, then torch him. Let the medic heal the spy to remove the flames. Then torch him again. You can finish this achievement with only 3 people and minimal time through this method, and no luck is involved at any time in the process. Remember, you don’t have to kill the cloaked spy for him to count.

Tip: Attacking a spy and then having him cloak while on fire, unfortunately, doesn’t count. It’s still hilarious though!

Trailblazer

Ignite 10 enemies that have recently used a teleporter.

This one is pretty easy to get, actually. If you know there is an enemy teleporter nearby, just keep an eye out for players with the glowing sparkly trail. If they have it, torch them so fast. Make sure not to destroy the teleporter so that they continue to feed you live bodies to work on the achievement. Much like the other ignite achievements, you don’t have to actually kill anybody to get the achievement, just burn them.

To farm this achievement, get an engineer willing to be your torching dummy. Have him set up a dispenser next to his teleporter entrance, and then have him set up the exit next to you. When he comes out, torch him. Let him run back to the entrance. The dispenser will heal him and remove the flames, and then he can head through and you can torch him again. Using this method, you can tackle this achievement with only one other player!

Camp Fire

Kill 3 enemies in a row, all within the same area.

First of all, in a row means within seconds of each other. This means you are going to have to be extremely aggressive. Staying alive also helps. The best way to do this achievement is to stop a rush from a medic and another class. Chances are three to four enemies will be all around the same area, allowing you to torch them and kill them.

To farm this, get three enemies willing to die to come to you. Then burn them to the ground. You’ll get this achievement almost instantly. Make sure to kill them all around the same time, or you won’t get the achievement. One at a time won’t cut it here. Make sure they don’t move as well.

Tip: You don’t have the be alive to receive this achievement. For example, if you set a scout rush on fire, and three of them die near each other, even if one of them killed you, you still get the achievement.

Lumberjack

Kill 3 people with your axe in one life.

This one is a fairly easy achievement to get normally. When an enemy rushes your position, hide and let them run by. Once you are behind them, leap out and torch them for initial damage. Then run up and axe them in the face. Whether or not you have the axetinguisher doesn’t matter, as chances are they will have taken enough damage to fall to your mighty axe. Do this three times (or against a group of three people) and you will get the achievement.

To farm this, have three of your friends play scouts and line up all nice in a row for you. Axe each one in turn, and make sure they don’t kill you in the process. If you want, taunt after you kill the last one to work on the Freezer Burn achievement.Really east to farm as long as you don’t get killed.

Tip: Can be done with either fire axe or axetinguisher.

Clearcutter

Kill 6 people with your axe in one life.

Much like Lumberjack, you really need to hide in the shadows to get this achievement. Unlike Lumberjack, you should probably hide in the shadows near your own base. This achievement is much easier with the axetinguisher, so getting it before you do the achievement will simplify your efforts greatly. Just toast and chop away, making sure to stay alive. You may want to tackle individual enemies instead of large groups to keep yourself alive.

To farm this, do much like you did for the lumberjack achievement, except do it twice! There’s nothing special to it. Just swing, hit, collect your kill, and move on.

Tip: Like Lumberjack, can be done with both axe and axetinguisher.

Firewatch

Ignite 10 snipers while they are zoomed in.

This one can be hard or easy, depending on the strength of the opposing team’s defense. The best map to do this on is 2fort. Rush through the base and to the battlements. Flame any snipers up there and then drop down below. Rinse and repeat until you’ve set 10 on fire. You don’t have to kill the snipers, but doing so will help your team and further the Firefighter or Pyromancer achievement. Also remember that it doesn’t have to be done in a single life, so you can afford to die.

To farm this, get a sniper and a medic combo near you. Have the sniper zoom in to somewhere in the distance, and set him on fire. Have the medic remove the flames, and repeat. Doing it ten times will snag you this wondrous achievement. Alternatively, get a team of snipers to zoom in and sweep them with the flamethrower.

Tip: You can tell if a sniper is zoomed in if their face is pressed against the stock of the gun, looking through the sights. Don’t bother setting snipers on fire that aren’t aiming if you are going for this achievement.

Burn Ward

Ignite 3 medics that are ready to deploy an Übercharge.

This one, much like most of the ignite achievements, doesn’t have to be done in a single life. To do this one normally, just go medic hunting. You are most likely to find medics with übercharge near heavies, soldiers, and demomen, because those classes seem to be the ones that soak up the damage. Make sure you catch them by surprise, so they don’t activate their übercharge before you can arrive, ruining your plan.

To farm this, it’s best to get three friends that are working on medic achievements. When they get übercharge all filled up, set them on fire. Requires very little effort on your part, thankfully. If you get four medics, one can even work on Autoclave (by übering you while you torch the medics). You don’t have to kill the medics.

Tip: You can tell if any medic, friendly or not, has an übercharge by looking at the medigun. If lightning and sparks are flashing around the barrel, they have übercharge and should be a target.

Makin’ Bacon

Kill 50 Heavies with your flamethrower.

This is a great achievement to work on in tandem with Firefighter as well as Burn Ward. Basically, hunt down medic and heavy combos and burn them alive. Be extremely aggressive, otherwise the heavy will make short work of you with his minigun. Also, make sure to take out the medic first. Once you toast 50 of the big guys, you’ll get this achievement. If you go for heavy and medic combos, you’ll also easily snag the Next of Kindling achievement.

To farm this, get a couple of friends willing to be toasted by your pyromaniac self. Have them play heavies and mow them down. You don’t have to do it in a single life, but it’s easier to farm if you don’t die at all in the process. You have to kill the heavies as well, not just ignite them. If a medic is on the opposing team, have him heal the heavy as well and torch the both. You’ll next the Next of Kindling achievement for your efforts.

Tip: The backburner, if you have it, is a great way to work on this achievement thanks to the critical bonuses

Plan B

Kill 10 enemies while you’re both underwater.

This one is a lot easier than it seems. Since you don’t really have to worry about range, just switch to a shotgun when you go underwater and blast away. You can also lurk under the water and surprise enemies with a firm axe chop to the neck if you so wish. Just don’t try and use your flamethrower, for obvious reasons, unless you like to die. The best place to lurk underwater is the center pool in 2fort.

To farm this achievement, have opposing scouts jump into the center pool of 2fort as soon as they spawn. Then proceed to blast them away with your shotgun. After ten fall and limply float on the water surface, you will unlock the achievement. Scouts are the best for this because of their low amount of health, but any class will do. It’s also good to farm the Clearcutter achievement while you are doing this, as axes work underwater just fine.

Tip: Underwater is counted as anywhere that has the player floating. Therefore, the sewers sections leading away from the center pool in 2fort can’t be used to work on this achievement.

Pyrotechnics

Kill 3 enemies in a single übercharge.

Ah, the counterpart to the Autoclave medic achievement. However, unlike Autoclave, you must actually kill the enemies to get the achievement. The best way to do this normally is to get a medic attached to you when you are a pyro and rush the opposing positions. As soon as you start taking fire, have the medic activate the über and then go on a killing rampage. As long as your rush isn’t stopped by air blasts or a pesky level 3 sentry, you should be able to get the achievement without an issue. This is a good achievement to attempt in tandem with Arsonist.

To farm this achievement, join up with so friends that are farming the medic achievements. Have one of them start healing you until he gets übercharged, and then slaughter them while invincible. You should get this achievement, and the medic should get Autoclave and Bedside Manner, if he doesn’t have them already. Just make sure your other friends are willing to be burned in a pyre of destruction, otherwise you may end up with some hurt feelings. And that’s never any fun.

Tip: You can kill the enemies with anything, so igniting them and then using the axetinguisher is a great way to rack those kills up.

Arsonist

Destroy 50 Engineer buildings.

This one is almost a perfect fit for offensive pyros. If you happen to be with a great medic, let him über you and then make a push into an enemy base. Anything short of a level 3 sentry won’t push you back enough to keep you from rushing forward. Just in case, though, having your medic go first during the über is a great way to lure the sentry fire while allowing you to move forward. If you don’t feel like base rushing, look for teleporter exits and destroy them.

To farm this, just have an engineer continually build dispensers, teleporter entrances, and teleporter exits in front of you. Torch them, but be careful not to kill the engineer, otherwise you’ll have to wait while he respawns to continue getting the achievement. After a little bit, you should get it. You can keep track of how many buildings you’ve destroyed on the current map by looking on the scoreboard.

Tip: The buildings don’t have to be finished in order for them to count. If you catch an engineer in the middle of building, roast him and his stuff.

Dead Heat

Kill an enemy in the same second that he kills you.

This one you will most likely get by accident through normal play. If you are torching someone and they manage to kill you right before they die, but they die from the flames anyways, you’ll get the achievement. Because of this, it’s a great achievement to try and get with the weaker classes like scout, sniper, engineer, or spy. Like the achievement says, you must kill them within a second of them killing you, so you have exactly one second before the achievement can’t be gotten.

To farm this, have a friend be an enemy pyro. Stand right up next to each other, and at the exact same time use your flamethrowers. You will, with any luck, get a double KO easily. Then you’ll get the achievement. You can also try this with any other class, like soldier, by torching them until they are almost dead and then having them kill you at the last instant. Immediately after, they should die from the flames. Voila, achievement obtained!

Tip: This can only be done with weapons that cause ignition, so flamethrower, backburner, and flare gun only.

Pilot Light

Ignite a rocket-jumping Soldier while he’s in midair.

There’s two ways to do this through normal play. The first way is to keep watch on the battlements of 2fort. Make sure you have your flare gun equipped. As soon as you seen a soldier rocket jump, set him on fire with a nice shot from your flare gun. As you only have to set him on fire, it still counts. The other method is to loiter around your base, waiting for an unsuspecting soldier to rocket jump close enough to you that you can set him on fire. You may want to do this on the battlements to surprise soldiers that are rocket jumping onto them.

To farm this, get an enemy soldier to rocket jump in front of you. Near the end of his fall, set him on fire. You should obtain Pilot Light, and all is well with the world. If a medic is on the other team, they can also try and go for Medical Intervention. It’s extremely easy to farm if you get a soldier willing to rocket jump in front of you.

Tip: You can ignite them at any point during the rocket jump. This includes both going up and coming back down.

Freezer Burn

Provide enemies with freezecam shots of each of your taunts.

This one is very similar to the Autopsy Report achievement of the medic update. However, unlike the medic update, you don’t need to take a screenshot and you don’t need to be standing over their body. To do this, just make sure you keep an eye on the kills in the top right. As soon as you notice your name up there as getting a kill, press G. If you do it fast enough, it’ll catch you in the taunt with the freezecam. Do it once per taunt (flaming hadouken, air guitar, victory pose) and you’ll get the achievement.

To farm this achievement, get three friends willing to die for you. Kill them each in turn with each weapon you need to taunt with, and taunt as soon as they die. After the third person falls, you’ll get the achievement. You need to do this with the axe, flamethrower, and shotgun each.

Tip: If someone burns to death far away from you, the freezecam still zooms in on you. So when you see an enemy die to your flames in the top right, make sure to taunt.

Hot on Your Heels

Kill 50 enemies with your flamethrower, from behind.

This achievement can be hard or easy, it really all depends on both luck and the level. To get this normally, lurk around corners, behind boxes, and just generally be sneaky. When an enemy runs by you and doesn’t see you, run behind him and start torching. Don’t stop until he dies! Once you kill 50 people from behind overall, you’ll get the achievement. Doesn’t have to be in a single life. The backburner, thanks to the guaranteed criticals, is a great weapon for grinding this achievement.

To farm this achievement, pick the backburner and get some friends to be scouts on the opposing team. Have them rush you, them turn around. Toast them from behind, and bam, achievement is yours! In much the same way as the normal way, the backburner is the best here thanks to the bonus for attacking from behind.

Tip: You don’t have to immediately kill them. If they die from burning when they were set on fire from behind, it still counts.

Next of Kindling

Ignite an enemy and the Medic healing him.

This one you will probably get almost immediately. In normal play, just find a medic healing somebody. Usually it’ll be a heavy, and then you can work on the Makin’ Bacon achievement without issue. Set the heavy on fire, then the medic, and you’ll get the achievement. After you kill the medic, make sure to go and attack the heavy so you get credit for the Makin’ Bacon achievement.

To farm this, get two medics to come to you. Burn one and then burn the other, and you’ll get the achievement. This is also good because it’ll allow the medic players to farm for the Infernal Medicine achievement. The achievement really goes well with any ingite achievements, so the possibilities are endless for other achievements to work on in conjunction with this one.

Tip: The enemy can be any class, not just heavy or medic.

Second Degree Burn

Kill a burning enemy who was ignited by another Pyro.

This one is a fairly easy achievement to get in normal play. Run around with a pyro buddy, and once he sets someone on fire, attack that person. If you kill them, you will get the achievement no problem. A great weapon to use for this achievement is the axetinguisher, thanks to the guaranteed critical hit on flaming enemies. To get the achievement, you must get credit for the kill, not an assist. So attack them like crazy! The flare gun is a great way to start the ignition as well, since the friendly player can’t accidentally kill the enemy by holding down fire too
long.

To farm this, get a two friends: one to play a friendly pyro, and another to play an enemy scout. Have your friendly pyro torch the scout briefly, and then kill the scout any way you please. You must kill the other player before the flames die out, or the achievement won’t register.

Tip: Any weapon can be used for this achievement. Two really excel for it though: the axetinguisher and backburner. With the backburner you can catch fleeing enemies, and the axetinguisher is almost a guaranteed kill since they are on fire. You just have to get close enough.

Weenie Roast

Have 2 enemy Scouts on fire at the same time.

This one can be easy or hard, it really just depends on the circumstances. The easiest way to get this achievement is to run to the intel room immediately at the start of a round of 2fort. With any luck, a scout rush will burst into the room shortly after you get there. Torch them all, and you’ll get the achievement without any hardship. AN alternative is to use the flare gun on the battlements to ignite oncoming scouts. Just make sure that you catch the second scout on fire before the first fire dies out.

To farm this, get two buddies willing to stand in front of your flamethrower as scouts. Set them on fire, and you’ll get the achievement. The medic achievement for killing scouts with a syringe gun is a great achievement to work on in tandem with this one, as the fire will weaken the scouts for the medic to shoot with his needle gun.

Tip: You can also try being the stationary flamethrower turret with a dispenser. That sometimes catches scouts unaware.

Baptism by Fire

Force 10 burning enemies to jump into water.

You can’t really “force” enemies to jump into water, except maybe with the compressed air blast, but the general meaning of it is still there. If an enemy jumps into water while he has your flames enveloping his poor fragile frame, you’ll get another tally towards this achievement. Once ten do so, you will get the achievement. TH=he best place for this in normal play is right outside the enemy entrance. Set them on fire as they leave, and with any luck they’ll go to the sewers to extinguish the flames.

For farming this, you’ll also want to be near the center water in 2fort. Get your friends to let you set them on fire and then leap into the center. After they have extinguished the flames, have them travel through the sewers back to your position. Repeat until you’ve done it ten times, and you will get the achievement!

Tip: The enemy has to float in the water for it to count, so doing it in the sewers won’t work.

Fire and Forget

Kill 15 players while you’re dead.

This one you will probably stumble into just by playing a good pyro. Basically, in order to do this, you will have to set a guy on fire, die, and then kill him while you are dead through the fire burning him to death. So make sure you aren’t on an instant respawn server. As the backburner kills too fast and the flare gun doesn’t really deal enough damage, the default flamethrower is the best weapon for the job. TO do this normally, just play a pyro. Surprise players. You’ll get it pretty quickly, with any luck.

To farm this achievement, get a friend to play an opposing scout. Burn him a bit, and then have him kill you. While you are dead, he should burn out and die, tacking one to your tally. Do this fifteen times, and the achievement will be yours. Much like the normal method, the flamethrower is best for this.

Tip: They must die before you respawn, so if you respawn before your fire kills them, you won’t get the kill.

I Fry

Ignite 10 disguised Spies.

This one is extremely easy to obtain in both normal and farming play. To get it in normal play, just spy check everyone you meet. With any luck, you’ll occasionally catch a spy on fire. After you catch 10 spies with your nice flamethrower, you’ll get the achievement. Simple. It’s something that, as a pyro, you should probably be doing anyways. A great place to do this is near the battlements on 2fort. Just spy check all who walk by!

To farm this, get disguised spies to line up in front of you, and a single medic to remove the fire from each. Since you only need to ignite a disguised spy 10 times, you can do this with only one spy and one medic, even. Just grind away at it until you snag the achievement.

Tip: If you ignite a cloaked spy that is disguised, it counts for both I Fry and Spontaneous Combustion.

OMGWTFBBQ

Kill an enemy with a taunt.

There is only one way to do this, and that’s through hitting someone with the hadouken taunt (the flare gun or shotgun taunt). There’s two ways to try and get this through normal play. Either sneak up on a sniper and use it (the easiest way) or jst continually do it while hanging in narrow hallways or around corners. Eventually you’ll nail someone and you’ll get the achievement. As there is a long wind-up time on the taunt, it can be quite hard to hit someone who isn’t stationary.

To farm this, just get a friend to stand in front of you while you perform the hadouken on them. Make sure they don’t move, and as soon as you perform it and kill them, you’ll get the achievement with no problem. It’s very easy to farm, since it only requires two people and is guaranteed to succeed if they work together properly.

Tip: The hadouken is an instant kill if you hit with it.

Got A Light?

Ignite an enemy Spy while he’s flicking a cigarette.

This one is practically impossible, so I’ll just cover normal play and farming in one paragraph. To get this achievement, you must either catch a spy taunting with his cigarette at the beginning of a round, or have one cooperate with you. If you see one doing the flicking taunt, ignite him. The cigarette flicking taunt is the taunt associated with the disguise kit.

Tip: Any method of igniting is perfectly acceptable. Flare gun, flamethrower, or backburner all work.

BarbeQueQ

Cause a dominated player to leave the server.

This one is a rather funny achievement, but it really up to luck whether or not you get it. In normal play, you have two ways of obtaining it, one of which requires admin on whatever server you are playing on. The first is to dominate a player (or several) and just continue to dominate them, either be killing them more or by avoiding them. Once they leave, you’ll get the achievement. The other method, which is far harsher, is to dominate a player and then kick him from your server.

To farm this achievement, have a friend join a server you are on and let you dominate him. Have him leave, and you’ll get the achievement lickity split. Relatively painless to do through farming, since it only has to be one person and they only have to be dominated and leave.

Tip: The game assumes that the player leaving is leaving because of you. So any player leaving that you are currently dominating will trigger the achievement.

Dance Dance Immolation

Kill 3 enemies while they’re taunting.

To do this one normally you’re going to have to rely on a lot of luck. There are a few players that habitually taunt after every kill, even if they are in the middle of a warzone. They will probably be your best bet. The alternative is to try and sneak around, following opposing players. Wait until they kill someone alone and taunt over the corpse, then toast them. Easy to do, but hard to find someone that is willing to taunt near enemy players.

To farm this, just get a friend to taunt in front of you, and then roast them. Do this three times and the achievement is yours. Just make sure they don’t do a hadouken taunt, or you might die!

Tip: Any class, any taunt works.

Hotshot

Kill a Soldier with a reflected critical rocket.

This one really depends on both luck and skill to get in normal play. You’ll have to watch for a soldier to get a critical rocket, and you’ll also have to make sure he’s launching it at a path relative to his own. In fact, it’s mostly luck whether or not you get the right situation to reflect a critical rocket to kill a soldier. However, you also need to be skilled with the compressed air blast, making sure you know how to reflect.

To farm this, get a soldier to stand near an ammo crate and shoot rockets at you. Just keep reflecting them at him. If they are normal rockets, have him dodge, and if one is a critical, have it hit him. This way, you work on both Hot Potato and Hotshot at the same time. Just make sure you have the skill necessary to reflect a rocket back at an opponent with ease.

Tip: Remember that soldiers still have a 40% damage reduction if a rocket hits their feet as they jump. Take this into account, as cunning soldiers will use it against you. However, the 40% damage reduction no longer applies anywhere else.

Firefighter

Kill 500 enemies.

This one is done in a very similar fashion both farming and normally. To do it normally, just play a very offensive pyro. This achievement only requires you to kill 500 enemies, it doesn’t specify how. Axe, flamethrower, shotgun, all are fair game for slaughtering your enemies. Good achievements to go for while getting this one are the Lumberjack and Clearcutter achievements, as well as Camp Fire.

To farm this, act much like you are farming the Hot On Your Heels achievement. Get your friends to rush you, and burn them alive. Backburner or flamethrower are both great for this achievement, thanks to the heavy damage at close range. You can also work on the many other kill achievements, like Clearcutter, Dance Dance Immolation, or OMGWTFBBQ.

Tip: Don’t be cautious. This doesn’t have to be done in a single life. Go hog wild and tear through the enemies.

Fire Chief

Kill 1000 enemies

As this achievement is just the bigger version of Firefighter, much of the same rules apply. For doing this normally, playing a defensive pyro is actually better than the offensive pyro I suggested for Firefighter. The reasoning is that while Firefighter is relatively easy to get while being an offensive pyro, being defensive will give you a better chance at racking up the kills necessary for this achievement. Just let them come to you and burn them all.

Since you’ve probably already gotten Clearcutter, Dance Dance Immolation, and OMGWTFBBQ by the time you start farming this achievement, here’s some others that go well with it. Pyrotechnics, Dead Heat, Fire and Forget, and Makin’ Bacon are all good to work on while doing this achievement, as they all require kills as well. Just rind away, and you’ll eventually snag the achievement.

Tip: The flamethrower + axetinguisher combo is great for racking up kills. If you already have the axetinguisher, it’s great for this achievement.

Attention Getter

Ignite 100 enemies with the flare gun.

The only achievement on this list that requires you to have done other achievements first, it’s of reasonable difficulty. The flare gun isn’t the killing power horse that the shotgun is, thanks to its weak initial damage and the burning damage that can easily be removed. It’s also highly inaccurate. However, you must only ignite, not kill, so just have a go with it.

To farm this achievement, just have the opposing team be medics and start shooting them with the flare gun. They will heal each other and remove the flames, letting you torch them again. This way you can work on this achievement and they can work on Infernal Medicine if they do not have it already.

Tip: Get up close; it makes it impossible to miss.

Pyromancer

Do 1 million points of total fire damage.

Playing this normally and farming involve the exact same tactics. Burn fools. Possibly also torch them. Farming it is easier because they don’t fight back, however. If you are farming this, having the enemy team all be heavies and rush at you directly is a great way to both rack up the kills and the burn damage. Burn damage also includes fire from the Backburner, so you also may have more luck using it to get this achievement thanks to the criticals. Don’t forget the flare gun as well. Burn damage also means both initial and the gradual burning damage, so you can torch and run away, or keep up close and get the kill. This is sort of the culminating achievement.

Tip: Remember that the closer you are with the flamethrower, the more initial damage you deal.

Hot Potato

Reflect 100 projectiles with your compressed air blast.

This one is extremely easy to get in both normal play and farming. In normal play, hang around areas where demomen like to lob grenades. If you blast away the grenades, stick or otherwise, it counts as a reflection. You can also hang around soldiers or, if you are insane, attempt to reflect bullets. You’ll probably get this achievement just through goofing off with the compressed air blast.

To farm this, just get a soldier to stand near an ammo box or dispenser and fire rockets at you. Just keep reflecting them. You’ll get the achievement in no time flat, thanks to the soldier having a steady ammo supply. If you are lucky, you might even get the Hotshot achievement while you are at it if you reflect a critical and it kills the soldier.

Tip: All projectiles can be reflected. This includes bullets. It seems impossible, but it can be done.

Controlled Burn

Ignite 50 enemies capturing one of your control points.

The one is extremely easy if you are playing a defensive pyro. Just loiter around a control point and wait for an enemy to start capturing it. Leap onto the point and start torching him alive. If you are feeling particularly helpful, have a medic über you when you do so, netting him the Ubi Concordia achievement while you work on this one. Plus, you can’t die! Sweet.

To farm this one, get two medics willing to be set on fire. Have one run onto the point, and torch him. Have him run back and the other medic run forward onto the point, and torch that medic. The healing will eliminate any flames, making it so you don’t have to bother with respawning. Doing it this way will also net you the Next of Kindling achievement pretty quickly.

Tip: As always, you do not have to kill, merely set on fire. If you want, a flare gun works just as well, thanks to its range.

Iron Kurtain

Take 1000 points of damage in a single life.

This achievement is one of the first ones you should get as a Heavy in normal play. If you are working with a Medic, go on the offensive and push towards the enemy, retreating when you are faced with overwhelming force. If you manage to stay alive long enough, you will get it pretty easily. If you don’t have a friendly Medic to heal you in the front lines, play defense and heal up at your cabinet whenever you take 150-200 points of damage. You’ll get it pretty easily as long as you play it safe.

To grind this one, have a Medic (or Medics) heal you and get a few enemy players, preferably Medics as well, to shoot you with their weakest weapon (in this case, the Syringe gun or Blutsauger). If you get 4 enemy players, you can also get Quadruple Bypass for your healing Medic. Just make sure that you let the enemy team know when to stop shooting if you are near death.

Also, in order for this achievement to register, you must die once reaching 1000 damage taken or higher.

Tip: Remember that you have exactly 300 health, and that you overheal to 450 health. Use it to keep track of how much damage you have taken.

Party Loyalty

Kill 50 enemies within 3 seconds of them attacking your Medic.

This one takes a combination of luck, skill, and awareness of your attached Medic. Basically, if you see your medic begin to take damage on the little “being healed by” bar at the bottom, quickly turn around and find who is damaging your friend. Them kill them. Do this 50 times (not in a single life, that would be a nightmare) and you got it! It should be something you are doing anyways.

To grind this one, get a bunch of Scouts on the enemy team. Have them hit your Medic one at a time with a baseball bat, and then unload on them afterwards. It’s also a great way to get Permanent Revolution, as long as you don’t spin down between Scout attacks.

Tip: This one can’t be done on friendly fire servers. Don’t even try it. You’ll kill your own medic way too fast.

Division of Labor

Kill 20 enemies with a Medic assisting you, where neither of you die.

This achievement is really just the same achievement as Big Pharma mentioned in the first part of the Medic achievement guide. As a Heavy, though, slightly different strategy applies. To do this normally, you probably want to play defense on a map like 2fort or Goldrush. Make sure you have a Medic consistently healing you as you mow down enemy players. Much like Big Pharma, this achievement is incredibly hard to pull off in normal gameplay.

To grind this achievement, have the entire opposing team play Scouts and make them run at you and your Medic combo. It’s a great way to get Permanent Revolution, Red Oktoberfest, Don’t Touch Sandvich, and Heavy Industry.

Tip: Just like Big Pharma, only the Medic getting the assist points counts.

Red Oktoberfest

Earn a domination for a Medic who’s healing you.

This achievement should be fairly easy to get, at least if you have a Medic staying with you most of the time. Just kills lots of players. If you and the Medic stay alive long enough, chances are you’ll both get a domination on somebody. It’s an achievement you can get pretty easily in normal play, just play normally and be a good Heavy with a good Medic.

To grind this achievement, have Scouts run to you and blast them away. Kill the same Scout three times, and you’ll earn both you and your Medic a domination. It can be done with any class, but Scouts die the fastest. Extremely simple and easy to grind.

Tip: It doesn’t have to be a Domination from scratch. The Medic can kill a few times himself. As long as the domination is got through the assist, the achievement will count.

Crime and Punishment

Kill 10 enemies carrying your intelligence.

This one is more of a time thing than anything else. As a Heavy, play a defensive game. Obviously, it’s easiest on 2fort, given the layout of the map. Good places to hang around when you know the enemy is still trying to escape with your intel is the exits for both the straight and the spiral stairs. Another good place is in the courtyard, as most players go up the straight stairs to try and escape.

To farm this one, get a bunch of enemies in your intel room and have an engineer set up a dispenser next to you. Have them pick up the intel individually, and then unload on them. The dispenser is to both keep your ammo up as well as work on the Factory Worker achievement, which requires kills while next to a dispenser.

Tip: The enemy must be holding the intel. If they drop it right before death, or you kill them while they are nearby, you’ll get a defense. While this is good, it doesn’t count towards this achievement.

Class Struggle

Work with a friendly Medic to kill an enemy Heavy & Medic pair.

This one can be infuriating or simple, depending on the skill of you and your Medic as well as the opposing pair of a players. The best way to do this is to ambush the pair so that you can eliminate the Medic before the Heavy can respond. You could probably do it in a head-on battle, but it would be much more difficult than a simple ambush would.

To farm this one, just have a Heavy & Medic pair stand still while you murder them. Make sure the Medic is healing the Heavy, or it doesn’t count. A good achievement to do with this one is Photostroika. Just make sure your Medic übers you as you kill either member of the pair.

Tip: As mentioned above, the Medic must be healing the Heavy as you kill him, or it won’t count.

Soviet Block

While invulnerable and on defense, block an invulnerable enemy Heavy’s movement.

This one is interesting, to say the least. Basically, play a map like Goldrush where you can set up an über before the round starts. Chances are an enemy Heavy and Medic pair will do the same. When you see them über, do the same, rush forward, and block them from moving. Much like football, really (hence the icon).

To farm this, get an opposing Medic and Heavy pair to über and move forward. Then have your Medic über you and move forward, stepping in front of the enemy Heavy. As long as you block his forward movement, you’ll get the achievement. Pretty easy, really.

Tip: You don’t have to block all movement, just forward movement.

Stalin the Kart

Block the enemy from moving the payload cart 25 times.

This one is more grinding than anything. In normal play, just play a Payload map and run to the cart as an enemy is capturing it. You will defend it, preventing it from moving, thus netting you a single time towards the “block the payload cart 25 times”. Repeat, either after death or by running away and coming back. Eventually you’ll reach 25 blocks.

Farming this is much the same. Get someone to move the cart, then step near it to cancel the capture. Then step back just enough to start the capture again. Then step forward and block. It’s tedious, but it will get you the achievement pretty quickly and painlessly.

Tip: You don’t have to stand in front of the cart, just near it. Standing near a cart causes it to stop, much like how standing on a control point stops a capture

Supreme Soviet

Get ubered 50 times.

This one you should get in normal play pretty easily. Just find a team with a few good Medics and play like you always do. You should get übered every once in a while to make a major push. Each über puts you one step closer to this achievement and your new weapons. Quite possibly one of the easiest achievements to get in normal play. It just takes a play.

To farm this achievement, get an enemy Soldier or Demo or someone to keep damaging you. You should also have a medic healing you to build up his übercharge. As soon as the Medic gets übercharge, he should deploy it. Do this a whopping 50 times (it takes a long time!) and the achievement is yours for the taking. Great achievement to work on in conjunction with the Medic’s Specialist or Chief of Staff achievements, as this takes a long time.

Note: Kritzkrieg ubercharges do count, and so do multiple übers at the same time.

Factory Worker

Kill 20 enemies while being recharged by a dispenser.

This one in normal play is sort of a defender’s dream. Have an engineer build a dispenser in a good spot and stand next to it. Keep your gun revving, and unload on any enemies that pass in front of you. Simple and easy. Keep in mind that it doesn’t have to be in one life either (thankfully).

To grind this, get an engineer to set up a dispenser near the enemy spawn. Make sure it’s stocked to the max before starting. Once it’s full, have the enemy team play all scouts and rush at you as you mow them down. It’s a great achievement to do in conjunction with Big Pharam & Division of Labor, as you can be healed and recharged at the same time without problem.

Tip: The dispenser doesn’t have to be giving you ammo to count, just healing.

Soviet Union

Get 25 enemy kills where you either assist or are assisted by another Heavy.

This one obviously requires that another Heavy be on your team. As for getting it, as it covers both assists and kills you were assisted with, so it can be gotten fairly quickly. As long as both people credited for the kill are Heavies, they will get progress towards this achievement. So just work together with a friendly Heavy to wreck the enemy team!

To farm this, get two heavies on your team and have an enemy team comprised entirely of scouts, and just unload on them as they rush you. You’ll get it after 25 kills, as long as each Heavy deals at least a little bit of damage to a Scout the other Heavy killed.

Tip: Can’t be done if a Medic is healing the Heavy that gets the kill, because he will get the assist, not the helping Heavy.

Own the Means of Production

Remove 20 stickybombs by killing the Demomen who produced them.

This one is a perfect fit for offensive Heavy players. Try and sneak up or otherwise hunt down demomen that aren’t aware of you. When you kill a Demo, his sticky grenades instantly disappear from the field, and depending on how many are placed and how many Demo players are on the enemy team, it could take ten seconds or ten days to get this achievement. Pretty easy, though, and likely to be gotten in regular gameplay.

To farm this, have an enemy Demo shoot his entire load of stickies. After he does so, kill him. Have him do this three times and you will get the achievement. One of the easiest and fastest achievements to farm so far. Just make sure he doesn’t accidentally kill you, as it will slow down how much time it takes.

Tip: The maximum amount of grenades a Demo can launch is 8, so at minimum you have to kill 3 Demos.

Krazy Ivan

Kill 100 enemies while both you and your victim are underwater.

This one is much like the other achievements of this pack: easy to get, but it just takes a little while. Basically, when you fall into water, make sure to eliminate any enemies you might see in the water after you’ve dropped into it. After doing this a lot of times, you’ll get the achievement.

To get this farming, you need only look to 2fort. Get a friendly Engineer to build a dispenser in the water, or better yet, at the entrance of one of the sewers through the moat under the bridge. Stand there, either submerged or crouched in the sewer water, and unload on anyone you see.

Tip: Crouching in knee-high water will count as being submerged.

Rasputin

In a single life, get shot, burned, bludgeoned, and receive explosive damage.

This one is almost a gimme. As a Heavy, you soak damage like no other class. You don’t even need to farm this. Just take part in an assault on an enemy base and you’ll encounter at least one of each of these damage types if the enemy team is competent. If you really need to farm though, the suggested order of damage is bludgeoning, shot, burning, and blast. Things that you hit hard with (like fists or wrenches) are bludgeoning, anything that uses bullets is shooting, burning is only available from the Pyro, and blast is from rockets (including sentry rockets) and grenades.

Tip: If you die as you receive the last bit of damage, you’ll still get the achievement.

Icing on the Cake

Get 20 kills on players that you’re dominating.

This one is not, as you might be led to believe, getting 20 dominations. This is actually killing 20 people that you are currently dominating again without them killing you (hence removing your nemesis status). Chances are you can get this easily, since players that you are dominating are likely to continue to die by your hand. So to get it normally, find a Medic to pair with and go at it!

To farm, get a friend to be Scout on the opposite team and kill him 23 times. 3 times will give you the domination, and the other 20 will give you the achievement. If a Medic is with you, you can also get Big Pharma and Division of Labor rather painlessly. Easy but takes a long time to farm. Make sure that the Scout is dominated before you kill him more.

Tip: If you are killed by the same person you are dominating after killing them again (such as being killed by a Pyro’s flames), it still counts.

Crock Block

Survive a direct hit from a critical rocket.

This one is pretty easy to get. Have a Medic continue to heal you as you fight a Soldier. When the Soldier fires a critical rocket, jump into the path of the rocket and let it explode against you. As long as you are overhealed, you will survive it. To do this normally, just be an offensive oriented Heavy that has a Medic attached who suicidally jumps in front of rockets.

To do it farming-wise, just hold in front of a Soldier until he hits you with a critical rocket, and make sure that you are overhealed or being healed by a Medic. As soon as you get hit by a critical, as long as you didn’t die, you will get the achievement.

Tip: As the achievement suggested, splash damage doesn’t count. The rocket must hit you directly.

Kollectivization

Get 1000 assists.

This one is the Heavy grind. It is probably the achievement you will get last, mostly out of the fact that it will take forever to get. Doing this normally and doing it farming is pretty much the same process. There isn’t anything special to doing this. Start up a Heavy, start killing stuff. The only difference between normal and farming is whether or not the enemies will fight back.

Note: This is getting 1000 assists, not providing 1000 assists. Kills do not count towards this.

Spyalectical Materialism

Kill or assist in killing 10 cloaked spies.

This one is mostly luck to get in normal play. You have to bump into an enemy Spy or see them cloak in order to get a bead on an enemy Spy. However, as it also counts if you get an assist, this is a great achievement to get by working with a Pyro on defense. If you damage the Spy, and the Pyro torches him, you will get progress towards this achievement.

To farm this one, work with an enemy Spy. Have him cloak in front of you, and then unload on him while he is still cloaked. After he dies 10 times, you will snag the achievement. Extremely easy to farm as long as the Spy fights the temptation to backstab you (which is a rather large temptation, we must admit!).

Tip: The spy must be fully cloaked or beginning to de-cloak as he died. If you kill him as he cloaks, before he finished, it doesn’t.

Permanent Revolution

Kill 5 enemies without spinning down your gun.

This one is incredibly easy to get, as long as you manage to not die between killing enemies. Make your way to the enemy base and get near a high-traffic area. Start spinning your gun, and just start killing enemies. Make sure you have alt-fire constantly held down to keep the gun spinning after a kill you keep from wasting ammo. After 5 kills, if you didn’t wind down, you will get the achievement.

To farm this one, get 5 Scouts to line up. Unload on them, not stopping until the very last one has died. As soon as the 5th Scout falls, you will get the achievement. You don’t even have to use the alt-fire to continue the spin like doing it normally.

Tip: If the gun at any point starts to spin down, it counts, even if it never comes to a complete stop.

Communist Mani-Fisto

Kill an enemy with a critical punch.

This one can be easy or hard, depending on what kind of Heavy you are. If you are the kind to get up in the face of your enemy, you should get this easily. If you are the kind that plays mind games and attacks mostly with firearms, you may find it a little hard. Since a critical Heavy punch will kill just about any class in a single hit, it’s fairly likely that if you kill an opponent, it was a critical and you’ll get the achievement.

To farm this, get a Medic with Kritzkrieg to charge up his ubercharge and then uber you. As you have guaranteed criticals, walk up to any enemy class and punch them. They should die after one to two hits, netting you the achievement with minimal effort.

Tip: This is more of an easter egg, but right-clicking while punching punches with the right hand!

Redistribution of Health

Heal 1000 damage with med-kits in a single life.

This one is rather dangerous for a Heavy to do, as it’s very easy to die without a helpful Medic around. However, it’s easier for defensive Heavies than offensive Heavies, thanks to the better location of med-packs. Basically, as you get damaged, heal yourself through med-packs instead of Medics, and you’ll get the achievement as long as you stay alive to pay the 1000 mark.

To farm this, get near a full med-pack an enemy Demo to plant two bombs under you and blow you into the air. The bomb damage and fall should nearly kill you. Then collect the med-pack to instantly return to full. Repeat until achievement is gotten. Remember that you can fall on med-packs to keep from dying, as the health triggers before fall damage.

Tip: This does not include healing through the cabinet. The achievement will not trigger until you die.

Rationing

Kill an enemy with your shotgun while you’re out of minigun ammo.

This one is pretty easy to get in normal play. Simply run out of minigun ammo and attack an enemy with your shotgun. If you manage to kill them with it while your minigun ammo is zero, you’ll snag the achievement. Make sure you don’t run into a discarded enemy weapon while doing so, or you’ll get ammo for your minigun and not get the achievement.

To farm this one, empty all your ammo into a nearby wall. Then have an enemy stand in front of you while you pump shotgun shells into their willing body. As soon as they drop, you’ll get the achievement. Pretty easy to farm, and you don’t even need to have a willing partner to farm it. As long as you are good with a shotgun, anyways.

Tip: If you damage someone with the minigun, run out of ammo, then kill them with the shotgun, you will still get the achievement.

Vanguard Party

Be the first on your team to start capturing a control point in a round.

This one is exactly the same to get in normal play and by farming, so we’ll just cover them in a single tactic. Basically, just convince your teammates that you need the achievement and that they shouldn’t start capping the point right away. If they are nice, they’ll let you be the first to cap, netting you the achievement with no muss or fuss. Just make sure to be courteous to another Heavy trying to get it at a later date.

Tip: Blocking a capture doesn’t count and if you are blocking a capture and then revert it and start capping the point, you’ll get the achievement. But not if someone else is with you.

Pushkin the Kart

Get 50 caps on payload maps.

Welcome to another grind achievement! To get this in normal play, have fun being the cart defender! You must stick by the cart at all times, so that you get credit for the capture upon it going over a checkpoint. Just keep playing offense on payload maps, and you’ll get it.

To farm this one, just join an empty payload server with a friend. Have him play the enemy team and do nothing while you capture. Then grind away. Simple but long. It is suggested that your partner read a book or something to pass the time while you grind.

Tip: It counts only actual caps, not cap points. So each checkpoint is only worth 1 towards this achievement.

Marxman

Kill 10 enemies in mid-air with the minigun.

This one is interesting, to say the least. To do it in normal play, team up with a Soldier or Demo for a base assault. Whenever you see an enemy fly into the air from an explosion, gun them down. With that sort of teamwork, you’ll get the achievement in no time.

To farm, get a couple friends to play Scouts. Have them double-jump in front of you as you gun them down. Each one you kill in mid-air translates to progress in the achievement. As soon as 10 go down, you will get the achievement!

Tip: Jumping enemies count as being in mid-air.

Gorky Parked

Kill 25 enemies while you’re standing on a control point you own.

To do this normally, play as a defensive Heavy. That is, play on a defensive team on a map such as Granary. Stay on the point and kill anyone who approaches. Works best when you have a medic to help you out. As soon as 25 enemies bite the dust to your awesome defending skills, you will get the achievement.

To farm this achievement, just have the other enemy team play Scouts (noticing a pattern here?) and have them rush at you as you stand on a point. Gun them down, and you’ll get the achievement lickity split. Make sure you are standing on the control point completely!

Tip: A point that is being captured still counts as yours. So you can run onto a point to block a capture and then kill everyone.

Purge

Kill 15 enemies capturing a control point you own.

This one is also another defensive Heavy grind. basically, whenever you see a point being captured, rush to it and eliminate the fool who dares to capture your point. Once you do it 25 times, you’ll get the achievement. Will be easy to get if you are regularly on the losing team, hard if you normally dominate.

To farm this one, just get enemies to rush onto a friendly control point. As each make it on and start capturing it, blow them away. It’s a great achievement to work on in conjunction with Division of Labor, thanks to the amount of kills necessary.

Tip: If you are blocking the capture, it won’t count. Instead, it will count towards Gorky Parked.

Lenin A Hand

Help 5 teammates get revenge on their nemeses.

This one is hard. It’s both time-consuming and is equal measure luck and skill. Probably the easiest way you are going to get it is by getting revenge on any nemeses your Medic has. As it counts when you get a kill or assist, so long as your teammate has the guy as a nemesis, you’ll gain progress towards the achievement. Have fun!

To farm this, have a five enemies kill your Medic three times each without the Medic killing them back. As soon as the Medic is being dominated by all five, have the Medic heal you and mow them down. Bam, instant achievement. You can speed this up by having two of the enemy players be Medics healing two others, thus getting them assist dominations (which are equally valid).

Tip: They can be your nemesis too, just as long as they are also your teammate’s nemesis.

Show Trial

Kill an enemy with a taunt.

To get this one normally, you must follow pretty much the same strategy as a Pyro’s OMGWTFBBQ achievement. Sneak up on a Sniper that is standing still and taunt with plain fists out. This taunt has a slightly longer range than the Pyro’s hadoken and triggers faster, but you aren’t exactly sneaky. So be careful.

To farm this achievement, get a friend to stand near you. Select the shotgun and do the taunt next to him. As long as he doesn’t move, you should get the achievement.. Easy as pie! Probably the best achievement to farm, in fact.

Tip: Doesn’t work with the Sandvich.

Heavy Industry

Fire $200,000 worth of minigun rounds in a single life.

This one is exactly the same farming and regular, so I’ll just cover it in a single paragraph. Despite the terminology, it’s actually one of the easiest achievements to get. You just may wonder what constitutes $200k. Basically, you have to fire 1000 rounds in a single life. This achievement comes from the Meet the Heavy video, which explains the cost of the bullet. To keep track of how far away you are from getting the achievement, it is suggested that you just stay in the spawn, shooting all your rounds, then running into a cabinet once empty. 4 cabinet runs should cover it.

Tip: You won’t get the achievement until you die.

Five Second Plan

Kill an enemy in the first 5 seconds after you exit a teleporter.

This one is pretty much just pure luck as to whether or not you can get it in normal play. The gist of the situation, though, has to be like this: you must enter a teleporter that leads to an Engineer’s set-up that is currently under attack while spinning your minigun. As soon as you exit, you start attacking. Best palce to do this is the sewers in 2fort.

To farm this one, get a Scout and a friendly Engineer to help you out. Have the Engineer build his teleporters next to each other, rev up your gun, enter and exit, and kill the scout. Can also be done with Natascha, which will count towards your Don’t Touch Sandvich achievement.

Tip: It is highly suggested that you enter a teleporter spun up, as it takes a good full second to spin up.

Photostroika

Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you taunting while invulnerable.

This one is pretty silly, but completely possible in normal play. During a base assault, have a friendly Medic über you. After you are übered, go on a rampage. As soon as you kill an enemy with any weapon, do a taunt. With any luck, the freezecam will catch you before the über wears off, giving you the achievement easily. If not, try again.

Much like doing it normally, farming involves killing an enemy and taunting while über. However, it is suggested that you kill the enemy in such a way that it snags you another achievement. For example, if you land an uppercut with your fists, you will get the Communist Mani-fisto achievement. Feel free to try out any others (such as Borscht Belt) that may fit the occasion.

Tip: You must still be invulnerable as the freezecam occurs. If you killed while invulnerable, and it wears off right before the freezecam triggers, you won’t get the achievement. Also, you must be übered by the medigun.

Konspicuous Konsumption

Eat 100 sandviches.

This one is yet another silly achievement and pretty much serves the same purpose in normal and farming. However, the situation differs slightly. In normal, just take the Sandvich with you on assaults and eat it when you are hurt and a Medic isn’t nearby (as normally intended). This allows you to fill your role and work on the achievement. To farm it, just sit in the spawn and eat Sandvich after Sandvich. Keep in mind, though, that it takes 4 seconds to eat a Sandvich, meaning that overall, you must spend 400 seconds eating Sandviches (which comes out to 6 minutes and 40 seconds).

Tips: Obviously, you must have the Sandvich to do this achievement. You can get it by obtaining 10 achievements.

Don’t Touch Sandvich

Kill 50 Scouts using Natascha.

A reference to the Meet the Scout video, Don’t Touch the Sandvich is another achievement that requires an unlock, in this case the Natascha, which you get for obtaining 15 achievements. To get it through normal play, equip the Natascha and play a defensive Heavy, defending your flag or cap point. As it slows Scouts down, it should be much easier to kill them. So do so. After 50 go down, you get the achievement.

To farm this, get a whole enemy team of Scouts, a dispenser, and the Natascha, and just unload on them. Obviously, they must be willing to sacrifice themselves to your cause. If you don’t already have it, this is a great achievement to grind with Big Pharama and Division of Labor, given the amount of killing you plan to do.

Tip: The Natascha deals 25% less damage, so keep that in mind.

Borscht Belt

Kill 10 heavies with The K.G.B.

The final achievement of our guide, and the one which requires the most effort! Not to farm or to get normally, but because in order to get this achievement, you must already have the K.G.B., which requires 22 achievements to obtain. To do it normally, just surprise enemy Heavies and beat them down, preferably with Medic back-up for you. Even better is if there is another Heavy nearby, as the guaranteed criticals make it much easier to kill him and continue the chain.

To farm this, just get a bunch of friends to play opposing Heavies. Whip out your K.G.B and go through them like a hot knife through butter. After 10 fall, you will snag your coveted achievement. We hope it was worth all the effort of getting the K.G.B.

Tip: Remember that the K.G.B. gives 5 seconds of solid criticals after landing a killing blow.

With Team Fortress 2 finally going free to play I decided to help new players out on the various achievements you can acquire in the game. So the first achievement I’d like to present is the scout. The trash talking, double-jumping jack rabbit of the Team Fortress 2 roster. I’d like to say a big thanks to the people at Big Download for providing the guide- though it’s still sad that they’ve officially closed down shop and moved to joystiq.

A Year to Remember

Get 2004 lifetime kills.

This one isn’t too hard to get in normal play. In short, just play the Scout a lot! You will probably get this achievement faster if you play the scout aggressively. If other words, always be at the front of a rush, ready to mow down anybody who gets in your way with your trusty bat, pistol, or shotgun. Not being the flag carrier helps, as it makes enemies focus on you less and gives you more opportunity to kill those chasing the actual flag carrier.

To farm this, have a friend who is willing to be bored out of his mind. Choosing a map with spawn close to each other is good as well. Have your friend constantly run out of the spawn, and constantly kill him. It’s a very tedious farm, and we highly suggest that you just play normally for this one. If you love the Scout, you’ll have no problem getting this achievement the old-fashioned way.

Tip: 2004 was the year that Half-Life 2 came out. Team Fortress 2 is built about the Source engine, which was first showcased in Half-Life 2.

Edit: According to our commentors (and unknown to me) 2004 was also the year that the Boston Red Sox won the World Series! Granted that the Scout is from Boston, this also makes sense!

Artful Dodger

Dodge 1000 damage in a single life using your Bonk! Atomic Punch.

Talk about some dangerous hobbies. This one will probably be a little difficult to pull off in regular play, but incredibly satisfying. Whenever you are performing a particularly dangerous run into enemy territory, simply drink that Bonk! and keep on truckin’. Be wary of the slowdown at the end of your speed and dodge boost, however.

Farming this will be easier or harder, depending on how you do it. In short, you are going to drink your delicious Bonk!, run from a safe zone to another safe zone through a field of massive enemy fire, wait off the cooldown, and repeat. Alternatively, get a friend playing as an enemy Heavy or Medic to blast at you while you are under the effects.

Tip: As this requires Bonk!, this has to be done after 20 other achievements.

Batter Up

Perform 1000 double jumps.

There’s no point in farming this. Just play a Scout. If you play a typical Scout, you will be double-jumping all over the place to avoid shots, get to better places, or set yourself up for some sweet kills. While 1000 is quite a lot, you can probably do it in no time at all if you simply use double-jump as normal.

Tip: This is more of a gameplay tip, but remember that you can double jump in a direction opposite of the one you are currently traveling in. This allows for some sweet dodge moves.

Batting the Doctor

Kill a Medic that is ready to deploy an ÜberCharge.

Interestingly enough, this does not require you to use the bat to get the kill. You simply have to kill the Medic. The easiest way to do this is to watch for a Medic with sparks around his gun. If you see a Medic like that, you should be focusing your fire on him anyways. Killing him before he deploys will net you this achievement really easily and put you one step closer to the new weapons.

To farm this achievement, get two buddies to heal each other until one of them has their über ready. Then kill that person. A fairly easy achievement to unlock by way of farming, especially since it doesn’t even require any special planning! Just a friend willing to build an über and die to you.

Tip: Funnily enough, friendly fire counts for this achievement. I don’t recommend killing teammates with über ready, though. You’re likely to get banned.

Beanball

Stun a scout with their own ball.

This one is a pretty easy achievement to get as well, either by farming or normally. Simply put, knock the Sandman ball right back at the Scout that launched it at you with a melee weapon or air burst. You don’t have to stun them for any specific length of time, but it does have to register the stun. Personally, I love doing it with another bat. There’s just something satisfying about performing the Sandman’s special without actually having the Sandman.

Tip: As mentioned, the air blast works against the ball, as it is a projectile. This can lead to some incredible stuns across the map as a pyro, letting you move in for the murder by fire.

Belittled Beleaguer

Kill an opposing player that has your intelligence while holding theirs.

This one may be a little hard for some Scouts. In short, you will become engaged in a Scout duel. You must be a better Scout combatant than your esteemed adversary, kill him, and come out on top. For Scout duels, no place is better than the roof of the walkway in 2fort. Watch out for an enemy Sniper, though.

To farm this, have any enemy play grab your intel and come to you. They need not be a Scout. The only necessity is that they have your intel. Promptly blow them away and mark off another achievement towards your total achievement count. The best class to kill is obviously an enemy Scout, but as said before, any class will do.

Tip: This is a good achievement to work on with Round Tripper. However, thanks to the “no kill” clause in No Hitter, you quite obviously can’t do that achievement with this one.

Block the Plate

Block 50 point captures.

As a Scout, you may find this one a little harder to get. After all, you are not meant to defend points; you are meant to capture points! Regardless, simply step on a point while an enemy is capturing it to count one point towards this achievement. The enemy can either be capturing a neutral or friendly point and you block it to get this achievement. Just make sure that you aren’t the one being blocked.

To farm this, have a friend stand on a point to capture it. As soon as he starts capturing, step on the point to block. Both of you quickly step off after the block triggers, and then repeat until you get the achievement. You might want to have your friend work on this achievement with you at the same time, since you are already aiming to get it.

Tip: It takes a moment for a point to become unblocked and available for capture again, so make sure to give it a second or two after you both leave the point.

Brushback

Stun 50 enemies while they are capturing a point or pushing the cart.

While dangerous (and perhaps going against your inner nature to slaughter all enemies capturing your points), Brushback certainly is fun. Simply stun an enemy on a point or moving the cart forward with your Sandman to get credit for this. Remember that while you can stun an invincible enemy, they don’t count towards capturing a point or moving the cart. So don’t be fooled!

To get this achievement, simply have a friend stand on a point. Stun them and run onto the point, then back off and repeat 49 more times. The reason for this is that the point block will count towards Block the Plate, allowing you to effectively farm both achievements at once. No point in wasting your time, after all.

Tip: Much like several other achievements on this list, Brushback requires you to unlock one of the new weapons. In this case, you must unlock the Sandman, which is 15 achievements.

Caught Napping

Kill 50 enemies from behind with the Force-A-Nature.

It’s not common for a Scout to get kills from behind, but that is precisely what this achievement revolves around. As a Scout, you will want to constantly strafe around an enemy while blasting him. With any luck you will kill him from behind, netting your credit towards this achievement.

To farm this achievement, simply have a friend stand so that their back is facing you. Then blow them away. Simple grind is the name of the game here, and it really is a grind. Do it 50 times altogether, and you have another achievement.

Tip: As is, this achievement obviously requires the Force-A-Nature, so you must have unlocked 20 achievements before you can perform this one.

Closer

Destroy 3 teleporter entrances.

The Scout is at the front of any particular assault. This includes destroying teleporter entrances near the enemy base, which can severely inhibit enemy mobility. Simply run behind enemy lines and blast away the teleporter entrances to get credit. You don’t have to do them all at once either, so if you die, don’t worry.

To farm this, have a friend start to build a teleporter entrance in front of you. Then, before it is finished, destroy it. The reason for destroying it before it finishes is that you will get credit for both this achievement and If You Build It. If you do it this way, you will get both achievements at the same time!

Tip: This achievement is only for teleporter entrances, not the exits. Regardless, destroying the exits is good for business too!

Doctoring the Ball

Kill 3 enemies while under the effects of a Medic’s übercharge.

This one sort of ties into the Medic achievement You’ll Feel A Little Prick, as any Medic that makes a scout invulnerable for this achievement will get that one as well. It’s rare for a Medic to über a Scout in normal play, but in extreme cases it does happen. If you do get the über, go crazy and start the slaughter! Also, this achievement will trigger Bedside Manner if the Medic does not already have it, netting him two achievements.

To farm this one, you’ll need at least 4 friends. Have one join you as Medic and the others play enemy team Scouts. Build up an über, trigger it, and mow down the Scouts to get the achievement and possibly get your Medic friend his achievement as well.

Tip: While it doesn’t say, all 3 kills must be in a single übercharge.

Dodgers 1, Giants 0

Kill an enemy Heavy and take his Sandvich.

This one is pretty simple, especially if you already have the Sandman. Simply kill an enemy Heavy while he is eating a Sandvich. You can tell if he is eating be the “OM NOM NOM” noises he broadcasts whenever he sits down to enjoy a snack. If you have the Sandman, you can make this really easy by simply stunning the Heavy before killing him. Farming it is much the same way, only get a friend to stand still for you before slaughtering him while he eats. Keep in mind that the Heavy doesn’t have to be eating the Sandvich, just holding it.

Tip: This achievement title is obviously a reference to the Scout and Heavy being sports teams. In this case, the Scout is the LA Dodgers and the Heavy is the San Francisco Giants.

Fall Classic

Cause an environmental death or suicide using the Force-A-Nature’s knockback.

As this achievement requires the Force-A-Nature, it must be done after achieving 10 other unlocks. That being said, the Force-A-Nature has a lot of knockback when it hits an opponent, easily sending them towards their deaths if you are playing on a particularly treacherous map. Take advantage of this to do things such as push enemies into hazardous waste or push snipers off perches. If one dies, you’ll get this achievement!

The farm this achievement, simply whack on a friend until he’s low enough to die from combined fall damage and Force-A-Nature damage. Then simply blast him off a cliff. There you go! You now have the achievement. Relatively easy to farm. It just requires you have the Force-A-Nature unlocked.

Tip: Yet another sports reference! In this case, the Fall Classic is a name by sportswriters for the World Series.

First Blood

Get the first kill in an Arena match.

As a Scout, you will always be first on the scene. This is the same in Arena as it is in other modes. Simply try your best to get the first kill of the round to get this achievement. If you die, there is always next round, so simply try again and again until you get the achievement. A relatively easy one to get by most standards.

To farm this, have a friend willing to sacrifice himself to you at the start of an Arena match. This works best if he is a Scout, as it will let him reach you before the other palyers start killing each other. simply blast him away to get the achievement!

Tip: First Blood is also a buff that affects whoever gets the first kill in an Arena round. It gives them guaranteed criticals for a short while, which ties into the following achievement…

First Blood, Part 2

Kill 5 enemies with the First Blood crit buff.

Exactly as it says. You must kill 5 enemies while under the effects of the First Blood crit buff in any Arena match. This doesn’t have to be all at once, but you may as well get it done as quickly as possible, as getting First Blood again can be a pain.

To farm this, you need the cooperation of pretty much the entire enemy team. You’ll need at least 6 on the enemy team: one to trigger the buff, and 5 to act as victims. Once you kill them all, you’ll get the achievement. Unlike pretty much every other achievement, you can’t farm this with just you and one other friend. It requires large-scale cooperation.

Tip: While this achievement is also a continuation of the previous one, it is also a reference to the second Rambo movie, which was titled Rambo: First Blood Part II.

Foul Territory

Cause an environmental death by stunning an enemy.

This one may seem a little difficult at first, considering that it’s a little hard to fall to your death when you can’t move. However, there is another way. Simply stun someone on train tracks as the train is approaching. They will be splattered across the landscape, and you’ll net this fine achievement with little hassle. Farming is done pretty much exactly the same way, except have a friend stand there on purpose.

Tip: Foul territory is the ground outside a foul line in baseball. If a ball lands in this area, it is considered a foul.

Gun Down

Destroy an active sentry gun using your pistol.

Oh boy. Talk about hard achievements to get. In normal play, this achievement will be nearly impossible. You certainly can’t take an active sentry alone for long, and if the engineer is around there is no way you can destroy it as he’ll just fix your damage. The best way to do this is to work with a Demoman to destroy it. As long as the pistol is the last weapon to damage the gun, you will get the achievement.

To farm this, have an engineer build a gun around a corner so that it can’t see you but you can see the struts. Proceed to destroy the struts with your trusty pistol while the Engineer stands by. You can also weaken the sentry with a shotgun as long as you finish it off with the pistol.

If You Build It

Destroy 3 enemy buildings while they are still under construction.

This achievement requires you to be at the front of an assault pretty much before the enemy knows that you are there. It also requires you to catch the enemy engineers off guards so that you can destroy their precious buildings. Simply put, rush forward at the starting gun to begin the pain. Destroy any buildings you see!

To farm this, have an engineer start building a teleporter entrance, exit, and dispenser in front of you. As they are being built, destroy them. It’s an easy achievement to farm, especially since all it requires is a Scout, Engineer, and secluded place. No sentry gun is required, so make sure that the engineer does not build one.

Tip: Yet another baseball reference, If You Build It is a reference to the line “If you build it, they will come.” from Field of Dreams.

I’m Bat Man

Survive 500 damage in one life.

Well this achievement in interesting. For reference, the Scout has 125 health, meaning that he has to survive 4 full deaths worth of damage to get this achievement. As a scout, you are not likely to have a medic attached to you, so there is only one course available: memorize where medpacks are. If you can make it to a medpack and heal up before you die, you’ll be able to continue this achievement. If you die before 500 points, you have to start over.

To get this achievement, have a medic friend heal you while an enemy medic shoots you. Simply survive 500 points of damage and then die afterwards to get the achievement. The syringe gun is good for this because of the high rate of fire but low damage. You do have to die in order to get the achievement, regardless of farming or normal methods.

Tip: In case you had not picked up up, the title of this achievement is a play on the comic character Batman, who is renowned for his ability to be prepared for and survive any situation.

Moon Shot

Stun an enemy for the maximum possible duration by hitting them with a long-range ball.

This one is a relatively simple achievement to get, although it requires you to hit the ball launched by the Sandman. This means you must either get 15 achievements or knock the ball back with another bat or the air blast. Simply put, launch the ball over a great distance. The farther the ball travels from you, the longer it will stun an enemy. If it stuns them for the maximum possible duration, you get the achievement! The only difference between farming this achievement and doing it normally is having a friend stand still for you.

No Hitter

Steal and then capture the enemy intelligence without firing a shot.

Now this one is hard to do in normal play. You have to do exactly what the achievement says. While you can go all the way up to the intelligence and steal it while blasting away, as soon as you touch the intel, you must not fire another shot until you have captured it. If you fire at all, you will have to try again, either by capping to reset the intel or dropping it. Also, keep in mind that you have to steal it from the pedestal, not from another player’s drop. You must travel the full distance in one go and without firing a shot.

To farm this, join an empty server with a buddy. Run to the intel, grab it, and run back without firing once. Easy achievement. The reason you need another player is because it won’t count the achievement unless the game has actually begun. This requires at least two players.

Out of the Park

Bat an enemy 25 meters.

This one… well, it’s different than you would expect. You would think that the achievement means 25 horizontal feet, but it is actually attainable with 25 vertical and horizontal feet. In other words, have fun knocking guys off of cliffs (or the 2fort balcony) with your bat! In order to count, you must kill the enemy player with the Sandman taunt, as it is the only bat to actually fling the player when they die.

In order to farm this, have a Scout get on the 2fort balconies for you to slam with your taunt. Then proceed to do so. Make sure you are facing out into the courtyard, as otherwise they will slam into a wall and lose you the achievement. After they travel 25 feet, you will gain the achievement.

Tip: Both the taunt and the title of this achievement is a reference to Babe Ruth’s (in)famous called shot against the Chicago Cubs.

Pop Fly

Kill 20 players while double-jumping.

Yet another baseball term! This achievement is probably one of the first ones you will get, given the Scout’s predilections to jumping around like a hyperactive rabbit. Simply jump a lot while you unleash the fury on your hapless opponents, and you will eventually get this achievement. We’re not sure if we really need to spell out farming this for you. Just jump around a lot and kill guys some more. It’s pretty much a win-win situation either way! For farming, though, make sure your friends are either just standing around or playing all Scouts for easy killing.

Tip: The kills only count after your double-jump, so make sure you have jumped twice before actually performing the kill. Otherwise it doesn’t count, and that sucks.

Quick Hook

Kill a player in Well before the round starts.

This one is going to be incredibly hard to get in normal play. So hard, in fact, that we suggest you just farm it. Trust us, it’ll save you a lot of grief and farming it is much simpler. To farm, simply have a friend stand against the grate in Well. Then stand against the grate yourself and perform the Sandman taunt. Bing bang boom, you’ve smashed him outta the park and you get another achievement. As the achievement says, you can only do this on Well, so don’t try on any other maps. It just won’t work!

Race for the Pennant

Run 25 kilometers.

It doesn’t matter whether or not you are farming this achievement or doing it regularly. It is the same either way. In short, run a lot. Run way more than you have or ever will run. This achievement is the grind-happy achievement for the Scout, and it shows. Just play a lot of Scout and you will get the achievement eventually. It will take quite a while, but eventually is a better possibility than never!

As an added remark, a custom map would be ideal for farming this, and probably the only time I will ever advocate using custom maps instead of regular ones. Simply put, create (or find) a map with a long hallway with a teleporter at the end that puts you back at the beginning. Bind your forward to the left mouse button and set something heavy on your mouse. Go to sleep. Come back, and if you do not have the achievement, repeat each night until you do. Not quite the same as normal farming, but whatever!

Tip: Air time does not count. The only time that counts is when you are on the ground.

Retire the Runner

Kill a Scout while they are snared by the post-dodge slowdown effect.

This one is fairly easy to get, both farming and normally. To get it normally, simply follow a Scout that you notice is under the Bonk! dodge effect. As soon as you see the effect wear off, go and kill them. They won’t have nearly as much mobility, making them unable to maneuver around you or dodge your shots. Blow one away and you get the achievement.

To farm this, get a buddy to drink Bonk! and have him run around in circles. After he slows down in his orbit, blast him away. Another easy achievement down the tubes. Easiest on a map where you can find a relatively isolated spot that has enough room for the Scout to run around.

Tip: Any class can do this achievement. You do not have to be the Scout.

Round Tripper

Capture the enemy intelligence 25 times.

Yet another achievement you should be able to get in normal play simply by playing the class as intended. The achievement is relatively self-explanatory. Grab the intel and capture it at your base 25 times over your career to unlock this very easy achievement. Well, easy if you play a Scout well. If you have trouble avoiding enemy fire, you might have troubles.

To farm this achievement, create a server for a friend to join, and set the capture limit to 26. This is best if your friend needs the achievement too. Now run back and forth until each of you has captured the intel 25 times. Both snag the achievement and both walk away happy. It’s a win-win! You might work on another achievement, such as No Hitter, while farming this particular achievement. It can get a little tedious.

Tip: You only have to capture the intel, which means someone can do the initial steal, bring it to you, and let you finish capping for the achievement.

Set the Table

Initiate 10 point captures that ultimately succeed.

Do we really need to explain this one? As a Scout, you should be first on the control point in all situations in the first place. Simply stay on a control point until it is captured and move on. You have to be the first person on the point, but considering that you are the fastest class in the game, this should not be an issue. Just do your job and all will be fine. You’ll get credit and you’ll capture the point, furthering your team’s goals.

You may want to repeat the same tactic as the last achievement with this one, only on a control point map. Simple hop on a control point, capture it, and then let your friend (who is also hopefully doing the achievement) capture it back. Repeat until the two of you have accumulated 10 captures. Easy, if time-consuming. Some custom maps do have fast capture times, so you might consider playing on those maps as well as normal maps.

Tip: You only have to be the one to do the initial capture. If you begin the capture and someone kills you, you will still get credit if your team manages to capture the point. So give it your all!

Strike Zone

Kill 50 enemies while they are stunned.

Interestingly enough, as you may note in the description, it says kill 50 stunned enemies, not stun 50 enemies and then kill them. This means that this is the only stun achievement that you can perform without having the Sandman. To do this normally, simply watch for when a Scout stuns an enemy and kill him. Each kill you get will further the achievement progress until it is unlocked!

To farm this, you should acquire the Sandman first. After getting the Sandman, proceed to whack the hell out of a friend with the ball and then beat him to death. If you do it right, you might even be able to taunt kill him, which can lead to other achievements. A simple farm, if long.
Side Retired

Capture the last point in a CP map.

You might get this achievement on accident! It’s common fro a Scout to sit on the last point of a map as their team advances. This way, the game ends extremely quickly upon the capture of the second-to-last point, allowing the next round to be played. If you want this achievement, simply be that final Scout. As long as you are present on the point when it is captured, you will get credit and subsequently this achievement.

To farm this, join am empty server with one other friend doing the achievement. Have him let you cap all the points in order so that you get the achievement, and then you do the same for him. Pretty standard farming for the mode-specific achievements, it seems. Nobody else is required!

Stealing Home

Start capping a capture point within a second of it becoming available.

The easiest way to do this achievement normally is, funnily enough, the same way you do Side Retired. Simply stay on the last point as your team is capturing the point before it. With any luck, you will stay alive long enough to start capturing it and finish, netting you both achievements at once. This does not have to be the last point; any locked point works for this achievement as long as you start capturing as soon as it is available.

To farm this, get two friends in with you on an empty control points server. Have one friend capture points as you stand on the last point. As soon as he finishes capturing the point before the last, you will begin capturing the final point and finish, getting Stealing Home and Side Retired for your troubles. The second friend is so that the game sees the match as going on.

Tip: Stealing is an action in baseball, and stealing home nets the batting team one point.

The Big Hurt

Stun 25 ÜberCharged enemies.

This achievement is just a matter of time as soon as you get the Sandman. Keep the Sandman equipped and play the game as normal. When an übered enemy runs to you, smack them with a ball and stun them, taking the time to run away. You can stun both the Medic and the person they are übercharging. This will count as two stuns for purposes of the achievement.

Farming this takes a significant amount of time, even in optimal conditions. Get two friends to play on the enemy team: one as a Demoman, and one as a Medic with the Kritzkrieg. Have the Medic deploy the über when he can, and stun both of them when it triggers. Hit them 25 times to net yourself another achievement.

Tip: Critcharge counts for this achievement, and the 25% charge bonus on the Kirtzkrieg helps immensely with farming.. So do enemies that are no longer stunned, if the stun breaks before the über wears off.

The Cycle

In a single life, kill an enemy while you are on the ground, in the air, and in the water.

An achievement of middling difficulty, The Cycle’s only claim to fame is that you must do all of these in one life. Our suggestion is to play 2fort. Kill a person in the middle, double-jump to kill a person on the bridge roof or somewhere in the middle grounds, and then fall into the water to net your third kill. The only difference between doing this achievement normally is having a friend help you or not. If you are farming, get a friend to play the martyr for you!

Tip: Crouching in knee-high water counts as being in the water, so crouching in the sewers in 2fort also counts towards this achievement.

Triple Play

Capture three capture points in a row in one life.

This one can be incredibly hard doing normally, as chances are you will not survive to push forward in a random public server team. It’s highly suggested that you get together a team of clanmates or friends to help do this. Simply choose a control point map with 5 points and steamroll the opposition, making sure you stay alive the whole time and capture each of the three points.

To farm this achievement, do it much the same way you did Side Retired. Get a friend to join the opposite team, and capture all the control points, including the last one. As soon as you get them all, you get the achievement and potentially Side Retired as well! Aren’t you sick of doing this?

Triple Steal

Capture the enemy intelligence 3 times in a single CTF round.

Thankfully, this does not have to be in a single life. Simply put, just capture the intel 3 times, which amounts to a team winning on most servers. You can be the one to steal it, or you can snag it from a dead friend. As long as you capture it 3 times before the end of the round, you get the achievement. You might want to play on a server with a larger amount of required captures, as others will no doubt be trying for this achievement as well.

Once again, the standard empty server scenario. Get in, capture the intel three times, get out. As always, it helps if your friend is doing it to, so that way you can help him snag his achievement by letting him cap your intel. Can be done with relative ease alongside the other CTF achievements like No Hitter.

Here’s the complete list of achievements you can gather in Dead Space p2. The guide is brought to you by wikicheats.

Surprisingly, Dead Space 2 was just recently released and wikicheats already has a list of secrets and guides out for the game. So to start off the secret hunting here’s the Peng Treasure guide from wikicheats.com.

The Peng Treasure is an object shrouded in mystery. The treasure in Dead Space 2 is well hidden. We may never know how it got its name or the story behind it, but we can show you exactly where to find the Peng Treasure.

In Chapter 7 on your way to the solar array, you’ll have to shut down a hologram AI by destroying a mainframe. Outside this mainframe are two rooms you access via tunnels. Go into the room on the left.

The walls have power plugs. Pull them out and put them in the sockets on the left. If you follow the diagram on the floor, the plugs will turn green, and allow you to shut down the mainframe. But if you put them in a different order, they will turn blue. Place all four plugs in the blue configuration. A panel will appear next to the tunnel. Use the panel to rotate the tunnel and crawl through it. You’ll find a room with supplies, power nodes, and a small gold statue. This is the Peng Treasure. Pick it up and you’ll get the Peng Treasure achievement or trophy. Congratulations on finding this peculiar and mysterious Easter Egg.

You can, if you wish, sell the treasure in the store for $30,000.

This same treasure appeared in the first Dead Space. For more info about it, see the Dead Space Secrets page.

Here’s the video on how to get it:

Donkey Kong Country Returns is the fourth game in the Donkey Kong Country series. It is the sequel to Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble!, and is the first Country-line game in over a decade. The game is a 2D platformer developed by Retro Studios for the Wii, and was announced at E3 2010. It uses many of the familiar elements from the original game and Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are once again the main playable characters. – wikipedia

With that said, Wikicheats.com has provided us a cheat list for the game!

Cheat: Infinite DK Coins

Note: You need Diddy for this cheat. Look for the first checkpoint in World 2-2 (Sloppy Sands). Here you can find two squid cannons underneath a bridge. Hit JUMP and UP to bounce from the lower squid to the higher squid. Hit the squid and drop to the lower squid again. Keep bouncing between them for infinite DK Coins.

Hint: Low Battery Bonus

As you choose your save file, Cranky will give you 3 1-Ups if you have a low battery charge. He’ll give you 5 1-Ups for no reason occasionally as well.

Unlockable: World 9, The Golden Temple

In every level except for boss levels there are letters to collect that spell out K-O-N-G. Collect the KONG letters in every level in a World to unlock a bonus level. Beat the bonus level and you’ll get a Rare Orb. There are 8 Rare Orbs to collect, one in the bonus level of each World. Once you have them all, the path to World 9 via The Golden Temple will be unlocked.

Unlockable: Mirror Mode

Beat the Golden Temple (World 9) to unlock Mirror Mode. In this mode, every level is reversed and you move from right to left (BACKWARDS!!!). You have only one chance and you won’t be able to use inventory items or Diddy. Good luck with that.
