Revision as of 06:35, 5 March 2011

Beat Me Up, Scotty
Beat Me Up, Scotty
Use a critical swing with the Eyelander to kill 5 enemy players.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to obtain: The Chargin' Targe will grant critical melee hits on a full charge. Alternate methods of obtaining guaranteed critical hits include the Kritzkrieg ÜberCharge, securing the enemy Intelligence, or acquiring First Blood in Arena.


Blind Fire
Blind Fire
Destroy an Engineer building that you can't see with a direct hit from your Grenade Launcher.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Hide behind cover to safely lob grenades at enemy buildings. Aim carefully, as you cannot bounce grenades off walls to accomplish this.


Bloody Merry
Bloody Merry
Provide an enemy player with a freeze cam of your smiling face.
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to obtain: Taunt with your Grenade Launcher or Loch-n-Load equipped immediately upon killing an enemy.


Brainspotting
Brainspotting
Decapitate 50 enemy players.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Equip the Eyelander, Scotsman's Skullcutter, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, or Claidheamh Mòr to decapitate enemies. The Chargin' Targe allows you quickly close the gap against distant enemies. When using the Eyelander or Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, try to get decapitations in strings; each head taken will boost your health and speed, making the next kill easier.


Bravehurt
Bravehurt
Kill 25 players defending a capture point or cart.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to obtain: When your team is capturing a point, fire grenades at nearby defenders and lay Stickybombs to prevent reinforcements from interfering.


Caber Toss
Caber Toss
Bounce an enemy into the air and kill them before they land.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Any of the Demoman's explosive weapons can be used to send an enemy into the air. Before your foe hits the ground, finish him off with a well-placed grenade or Stickybomb.


Cry Some Moor!
Cry Some Moor!
Destroy 50 buildings.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: The Demoman excels at building destruction. Coordinate with friendly Medics to take out problematic Sentry Guns. It is recommended to equip either the Stickybomb Launcher or Scottish Resistance, as detonating multiple Stickybombs at once can instantly destroy any building.


Double Mauled Scotch
Double Mauled Scotch
Kill 2 people in a single sticky jump.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
How to obtain: Sticky jump above a group of enemies and rapidly fire your projectiles at them. Any enemies killed by Stickybombs detonated in the same explosion as your jump will count towards this achievement.


Glasg0wned
Glasg0wned
Kill 25 Scouts and Pyros with the Grenade Launcher.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Both of these classes have the advantage over you at closer ranges. Pyros can use the compression blast to reflect your grenades back at you, while Scouts have enough speed to easily dodge your grenades. Use prediction and good aim to pick them off at a distance.


He Who Celt It
He Who Celt It
Use the Sticky Launcher to kill an enemy player via environmental damage.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: When blasting an enemy into the air with a Stickybomb, try to make sure that they will either die from the resulting fall damage or fly into an environmental hazard such as a bottomless pit.


Highland Fling
Highland Fling
Sticky jump a really long way...
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to obtain: The achievement is based on the horizontal distance covered by your Sticky jump, so attempt this on maps with open areas, such as Badlands, Pipeline, and Well. It will be easier to use two Stickybombs, or you might not go far enough. The estimated length you need to travel can be measured by the distance from the first BLU spawn on Badwater Basin to the first capture point. While attempting this will generally leave you near death, if not dead, the Sticky Jumper can be used to nullify self-damage and allow you to use three or more stickies to safely perform the jump.


Kilt in Action
Kilt in Action
Kill 500 enemy Soldiers.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Use class advantages to engage Soldiers on your own terms. Deny them a direct line of sight, lay sticky traps to halt their progress, and bounce grenades around corners. Continue to fight indirectly, as the Shotgun and Equalizer outdamage your melee weapons.


Laddy Macdeth
Laddy Macdeth
Kill 50 enemies with direct hits from the Grenade Launcher.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Take into account the arced trajectory of your grenades to land direct hits on your enemies.


Left 4 Heads
Left 4 Heads
Decapitate 4 players with only 10 seconds between each kill.
Difficulty: Hard
How to obtain: Equip the Eyelander, Scotsman’s Skullcutter, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, or Claidheamh Mòr and engage multiple enemies at close range. Pair your melee weapon with the Chargin’ Targe in order to reach new targets before the ten seconds expire.


Loch Ness Bombster
Loch Ness Bombster
Kill an enemy player with sticky bombs within 5 seconds of them teleporting.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Lay Stickybombs at an enemy Teleporter Exit. Wait for someone to use the Teleporter, then detonate your trap. An enemy with the telltale glow underneath their feet is a sure sign that a Teleporter is nearby.


Pipebagger
Pipebagger
Kill at least three players with a single detonation of sticky bombs.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to obtain: Conceal Stickybombs in multiple contested areas where players tend to gather. Detonate your traps after enough enemies have gathered. Alternatively, have a Medic assist you with the Kritzkrieg; just one critical Stickybomb can gib many players at once.


Robbed Royal
Robbed Royal
Destroy 100 enemy sticky bombs with the Scottish Resistance.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Try to predict where enemy Demomen would place sticky traps. If their Stickybombs are clustered together, you can use just one or two to destroy them all.


Scotch Guard
Scotch Guard
Kill 3 enemies capping or pushing a cart in a single Stickybomb detonation 3 separate times.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Hide Stickybombs around Control Points or at locations the Payload cart must pass through. Detonate your trap once enough enemies have gathered.


Scotch Tap
Scotch Tap
Glory in the slaughter of your enemies using the Eyelander.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
How to obtain: Find an unaware enemy, such as a scoped Sniper, and perform the Eyelander's taunt on them. While the taunt does take a considerable amount of time, it is also one of the quietest, allowing you to attempt it multiple times on the same target.


Second Eye
Second Eye
Provide an enemy player with a freeze cam of you shaking your rump.
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to obtain: Upon killing an enemy, taunt with the Scottish Resistance equipped.


Shorn Connery
Shorn Connery
Decapitate a cloaked Spy.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: You may incidentally see a cloaked Spy that bumps into either you or your teammates. When this happens, take out your Eyelander, Scotsman’s Skullcutter, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, or Claidheamh Mòr and chase the Spy down. If you know a Spy is nearby, randomly swinging your weapon a few times can't hurt, either. Use your weapon's longer melee range to check corners and other less-traversed spaces where Spies may be hiding.


Slammy Slayvis Woundya
Slammy Slayvis Woundya
Decapitate an enemy Soldier who is brandishing the Equalizer.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: A Soldier wielding the Equalizer is already bound to be damaged, meaning he or she will likely out-damage you in melee combat. The Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Claidheamh Mòr are recommended over the Scotsman’s Skullcutter, as the reduced speed penalty will allow the Soldier to easily outmaneuver you. Make use of your weapon’s longer melee range to avoid being hit. If the Soldier tries to flee, use the Chargin’ Targe to chase that player down if you have it equipped. This achievement should happen eventually in Medieval Mode. Eventually, you will kill a Soldier with the Equalizer.


Something Stickied This Way Comes
Something Stickied This Way Comes
Kill 30 players with air burst sticky bombs.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Keep in mind that stickybombs cannot be detonated for roughly a second after being fired. The normal Stick bomb Launcher is recommended over the Scottish Resistance for this achievement, as the longer bomb arm time may cause trouble when trying to detonate a sticky early. To kill an enemy using air burst stickybombs, aim a little above them so that the sticky doesn’t touch the floor before it is detonated. Charged, long range stickybombs can be used to “snipe” targets that are far away.


Spynal Tap
Spynal Tap
Kill 20 Spies within 5 seconds of them sapping a friendly building.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to obtain: Guard friendly buildings by placing stickybombs around them. When you hear the notification that indicates when an Engineer’s buildings are being sapped, detonate your stickies and you will hopefully catch the Spy in the explosion. The Scottish Resistance in particular allows you to selectively detonate groups of stickies, as well as guard multiple building nests simultaneously. If you haven’t laid any stickies but see a Spy sap a building, use the Grenade Launcher or chase after the Spy with your melee weapon.


Sticky Thump
Sticky Thump
Using the Scottish Resistance, kill 3 players in separate explosions without placing new sticky bombs.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: This achievement will require at least two individual sticky traps to be laid. The kills accumulated by detonating them must equal three or more. If you fire a sticky after at least one kill has been obtained, progress towards this achievement will reset. Small, narrow areas that are busy with player traffic, such as the tunnels on Dustbowl, provide many chances to set multiple traps.


Tam O'Shatter
Tam O'Shatter
Destroy 5 enemy Engineer buildings during a single ÜberCharge from a Medic.
Difficulty: Hard
How to obtain: A group of Engineer buildings generally only consist of a Sentry Gun, a Dispenser, and maybe a Teleporter Exit. While the Demoman is excellent at destroying buildings, the difficult part of this achievement will be finding the required five buildings in the eight seconds an ÜberCharge is active. Aggressively approach these buildings, laying multiple stickies around them. Use the fact that stickybombs can be fired and armed before you are ÜberCharged to aid against the time constraint of the achievement. It will take three stickybombs at most to destroy any building that is not shielded by the Wrangler. Rather than waste time reloading the Stickybomb Launcher switch to your Grenade Launcher to finish off any remaining buildings. Try to find a friendly Medic who is attempting to obtain the related achievement, “Medical Breakthrough,” and is willing to aid you.


Tartan Spartan
Tartan Spartan
Do 1 million points of total blast damage.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: The Demoman can deal explosive blast damage using his Grenade Launcher, Loch-n-Load, Stickybomb Launcher, Scottish Resistance, and Ullapool Caber. You will naturally obtain this achievement after quite some time playing as the Demoman.


The Argyle Sap
The Argyle Sap
Blow up an Engineer, his Sentry Gun, and his Dispenser with a single Sticky bomb detonation.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: When you encounter an Engineer's nest of buildings, lay a carpet of Stickybombs around the required buildings and the Engineer himself before detonating any of them. It will take a maximum of six Stickybombs to destroy a Sentry Gun shielded by the Wrangler. If the nest is in an area that is hard to reach, have a Medic assist you with an ÜberCharge.


The High Road
The High Road
Sticky jump onto a cap point and capture it.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to obtain: It will be easier to attempt this on a standard Control Point map, where capture times are significantly shorter. Because you must be on the point for the entire duration of the capture, equipping the Pain Train and having teammates assist you are strongly recommended.


There Can Be Only One
There Can Be Only One
Decapitate your nemesis.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Sticky jump or use the Chargin’ Targe to quickly close the gap between you and your nemesis. Use the Eyelander, Scotsman’s Skullcutter, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, or Claidheamh Mòr to get the kill.


The Scottish Play
The Scottish Play
Get a melee kill while sticky jumping.
Difficulty: Hard
How to obtain: This feat can be performed as you collide with another midair player or as you land on an enemy's head. Air strafe as you sticky jump in order to reach a moving target. The extended melee range offered by the Eyelander, Scotsman's Skullcutter, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Claidheamh Mòr may make this task slightly easier.


The Targe Charge
The Targe Charge
Charge and kill someone with your shield bash.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: The Chargin’ Targe will only deal up to 100 damage when colliding with an enemy at the end of a charge. Chase down weakened players that are retreating and resist the urge to swing your melee weapon.


The Stickening
The Stickening
Kill 3 Heavies from full health with a single sticky bomb detonation.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: A Heavy in a contested area is not likely to be at full health, so catch him by surprise elsewhere with a carefully concealed sticky trap. If you see an ÜberCharged Heavy, lay at least five Stickybombs at his feet and detonate them once the charge wears of.


Three Times a Laddy
Three Times a Laddy
Dominate three Engineers.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: A Demoman can often wipe out an Engineer and any of his nearby buildings with a single detonation of Stickybombs. Use your indirect weaponry to safely take out Engineer nests from behind cover. Beware that the Engineer's weapons are moderately powerful at close-range; revenge crits from the Frontier Justice can end your domination attempts very quickly.


Well Plaid!
Well Plaid!
Kill 10 enemies while assisting or being assisted by another Demoman.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Coordinate with friendly Demomen to destroy the same targets, taking advantage of the large splash damage offered by your explosive weaponry.
