Winters is weird on that map. Remember the infinite assault bug with killing him too early that they fixed? Well, they either didn't fix or re-broke it on The Diamond, because we killed his squad as they shuffled in the front door and, hey, infinite assault. Winters himself was invincible - never stopped being at max hp.

That's exactly what happened to us. Though I don't think we even killed them as they came in the front door - they were already roaming around when we got to the front area.

Still got my 220 kill LMG cheevo though...down to 7 more + the halloween stuff (and whatever gets added in the meantime).

They didn't fix it. I've actually ever managed to do it once, and that once has been since the last patch.

So what is the goon preferred method of getting some of those achievements unlocked that have reaaaally bullshit requirements? I understand that there is an unlocker, and there is an irritating number of weapon mods hidden behind doing a mission with four people wearing four different specific masks that are randomly dropped by normal play. This is what I want to take care of. Most of the rest of the achievements are actually fine or fun to do, like using a weapon and racking up specific types of kills with it.

No weapon mods are unlocked by the "1 of each mask" achievement.

Only one of the Hotline achievements requires the group to wear masks. And let's be honest "wear these masks" is basically the easiest requirement ever.

Funding father is another four mask achievement. It's also part of the six big bank achievements showcasing how great a gun is by gating its better weapon parts and having nothing to do with the gun itself.

Definitely use SAM (the creator Gibbed does cool things for all sorts of other games too) if you even feel the slightest urge to do so, there have been a lot of times where people asking for action have been met with deafening silence.

The four masks achievements are fine. Besides, all of the complaints about "they've locked the good poo poo behind achievements" barely hold water at this point when the rebalance has made base stats matter so much more. In most cases you can just slap a tactical compensator and a gadget of your choice and be good to go with a gun.

In this game's weird long history we've had a lot more heinous achievements like Precision Aiming (kill Bulldozers with a lovely gun to unlock a part that would make it easy - the shittiness being largely gone now that the G3 does 80 damage), Not Today, Guessing Game, Breaking Dead when it was a 5% chance, etc.

Oddly enough, some of the harder/more annoying achievements in the game I got through serendipity.

For example, I got 120-proof after a failed pubbie run of DW Beneath the Mountain. Three people were downed, one guy entered, fired his RPG at a group of cops, then got downed. Heist Failed, Achievement Unlocked.

I also got Shotgun 101 while merrily shooting patrolmen on Normal Four Stores while farming for the Halloween masks. Previous conscious attempts to get it were teeth-gnashingly frustrating.

I actually did get the Precision aiming one done, it was more of a bother with the number of dozers i needed to kill. The two people I payday with and I have done Breaking Dead and that find all the rings achievement because of dailies, and those two are actually on my rarest achievement showcase (along with showdown effect, interstellar marines, and clicker heroes achievements...)

I find it's a sign of progress that overkill has moved on from the mentality of the older DLC by only attaching cosmetic items to achievements, making interesting weapon challenges and removing RNG in places it is unwanted. Those are all good improvements. If you want to die on that hill pining for the old days, that's fine too.

I can't remember the last time it was ever a good idea an MP game locked meaningful items behind achievements. TF2 did it at first, Valve got flak for it and fixed it quickly. Battlefield weapon assignments had to be done sequentially but if that wasn't bad enough, they encouraged people to do really silly things like be a hill wookie or play gamemodes that aren't conquest or rush.

Most kill achievements are palatable once you just aim for last hits which all that matter. Not Today is one of many reasons why the older achievements were badly designed if you're at the mercy of the game which can go "nope" any time it feels like. Getting Artillery Barrage or Not Invited? You better believe that means hosting because Diesel EngineTM. Blow-Out on the other hand, was really fun to do.

Breaking Dead was a lot more bullshit when the meth lab had a 5% chance to spawn. Now it's just a matter of drilling open all the containers until you get the meth lab.

But the worst achievements are the ones that rely on that Diesel magic, like Afraid of the Dark or I am The One Who Knocks. OR loving KING OF THE HILL, I am never gonna get that one :suicide:

These aren't particularly hard with turrets being so good. It just takes a coordinated crew - King of the Hill is probably the worst just because it's only on an Escape. Ask in group chat, if I'm around and playing I'd be happy to help.

I think it was you that told me to try it on hard with a friend because it is such a pain in the dick. Later that day I was doing Watchdogs with some random goon, maybe Maid? I saw a Cloaker standing around so I shot him a couple times then ran towards him hoping to trigger movement. Lo and behold, he started running at me so I started backing up sowly and shot the grenade launcher when I saw him getting close. Bam, achievement!

It's not that bad. Play on Hard, on a map like Watchdogs 1 that has an artificially inflated cloaker spawn rate. Only their jumping kicks count. You can trigger their jumping kick by having an object (like a car) blocking a straight line between you and the cloaker. You don't need to go for direct hits. Just don't let teammates hit the cloaker.

Kikas posted:

OR loving KING OF THE HILL, I am never gonna get that one :suicide:

I recommend Four Stores, since the base rate is high and flat across difficulties. For getting the achievement, I know that camping one corner of the map is popular, but I recommend actually defending the park- that way, if something goes wrong and an enemy gets in, you can know to restart.

If you are going for the corner camp approach, consider doing it solo- fewer players means fewer enemies, which means fewer can path into the park.
