Obtaining Demoman achievements

Beat Me Up, Scotty Use a critical swing with the Eyelander to kill 5 enemy players. Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: This achievement requires you to kill enemy players by dealing Critical hits with the Eyelander, which does not give random Critical hits. You will need to use the Chargin’ Targe, which grants guaranteed Critical melee hits on a full charge, to obtain this achievement. The achievement merely checks for kills by Critical hit, so alternate methods of gaining the Crit boost include securing the enemy intelligence or getting First Blood in Arena. Narrow corridors, such as the sewers on 2Fort, give opponents little room to dodge, and are good places to work towards this achievement.

Blind Fire Destroy an Engineer building that you can't see with a direct hit from your Grenade Launcher. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: A direct hit from your Grenade Launcher is required for this achievement; destroying an Engineer building by bouncing grenades off a wall will not work. Many maps, such as Dustbowl, provide ample cover that you can hide behind to indirectly lob grenades at enemy buildings. Firing a grenade at a building and moving out of sight before it connects will also count towards this achievement.

Bloody Merry Provide an enemy player with a freeze cam of your smiling face. Difficulty: Very Easy How to obtain: Upon killing an enemy, simply taunt while having the Grenade Launcher equipped. You need not make the kill with the Grenade Launcher itself. For example, you can detonate sticky bombs to kill an enemy, switch to the Grenade Launcher, then taunt. This achievement will not work on bots.

Brainspotting Decapitate 50 enemy players. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: This achievement will require you to use the Eyelander or Scotsman's Skullcutter to kill enemies. The achievement is not overly difficult, but may take a decent amount of time. Carrying the Chargin' Targe alongside your melee weapon is recommended, as it allows you to quickly close the gap against any enemies attacking from a distance. When using the Eyelander, try to get decapitations in strings, as each head will make getting the next one easier.

Bravehurt Kill 25 players defending a capture point or cart. Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: When your team is trying to capture a point, fire grenades at defenders already on the point, then move in once the area is clear. Lay sticky bombs around the point and detonate them when an enemy jumps onto the point to stop the capture. It is somewhat harder to kill defenders around the Payload cart, as they will not tend to congregate around it.

Caber Toss Bounce an enemy into the air and kill them before they land. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: All of the Demoman’s explosive weapons can send an enemy into the air. After you’ve managed to blast an enemy into the air, try to finish him off in midair with a well-placed grenade or a sticky bomb detonated in midair. Alternatively, you can lay a sticky trap beforehand and bounce a target into it. The Scottish Resistance can be used to lay two traps with which an enemy can be bounced from one onto the other.

Cry Some Moor! Destroy 50 buildings. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: Demomen are excellent at destroying Engineer buildings. This achievement will require some time playing offensively. When paired with a Medic, have him use an ÜberCharge on you to take out problematic Sentry Guns. It is recommended to have either the Sticky bomb Launcher or Scottish Resistance equipped, as the detonation of multiple sticky bombs can instantly destroy any building.

Double Mauled Scotch Kill 2 people in a single sticky jump. Difficulty: Medium-Hard How to obtain: This achievement may happen incidentally if you encounter a group of enemies with lower health. Sticky jump above them, then rapidly fire sticky bombs or grenades at the ground. Any enemies killed in sticky bombs detonated in the same explosion as your jump will also count towards this achievement. You can try placing a sticky trap in a well-trafficked area and have one sticky under your feet. Once you see at least two enemies appear near the sticky trap, crouch jump and detonate it.

Glasg0wned Kill 25 Scouts and Pyros with the Grenade Launcher. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: Pyros will likely be the easier target for your Grenade Launcher, as they are relatively harmless at long-range. If they get too close, backpedal while firing at them. Beware that some will use their compression blast to reflect your grenades back at you. Although Scouts are fast and can easily dodge your grenades, a combination of prediction and the Scout's low survivability can still allow you to kill them.

He Who Celt It Use the Sticky Launcher to kill an enemy player via environmental damage. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: This achievement is easier to obtain on a map with some sort of dangerous environmental hazard, such as the instant death pits on Nucleus, Steel, and Double Cross. When blasting an enemy into the air with a sticky bomb, try to make sure that either he will die from the fall damage or that the trajectory of his flight will lead him into a hazard.

Highland Fling Sticky jump a really long way... Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: Experienced sticky jumpers will have no problem with this achievement. Read the sticky jump article to learn how to execute one properly. Note that the achievement is based on the horizontal distance travelled. You’ll need to use two to three (only if overhealed) sticky bombs to make a jump of the required distance. Good maps to attempt this on are Badlands, Pipeline, and Well. 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 even more than three stickies to perform the jump. Interestingly, the achievement is merely based upon the distance you are launched. Being knocked back by an attack powerful enough might also grant this achievement.

Kilt in Action Kill 500 enemy Soldiers. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: Always use your 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. If you have the Chargin' Targe equipped, try to engage the Soldier in close quarters combat; his Rocket Launcher will deal less damage to you, thanks to the Targe, as well as damage him.

Laddy Macdeth Kill 50 enemies with direct hits from the Grenade Launcher. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: This achievement will take some time, but will eventually happen naturally through skilled play. Use good aim, prediction, and a bit of luck to land those direct hits, taking into the account the arced trajectory of your grenades.

Left 4 Heads Decapitate 4 players with only 10 seconds between each kill. Difficulty: Hard How to obtain: Using the Eyelander or Scotsman’s Skullcutter, try to engage multiple enemies at once in cramped quarters. Pair your melee weapon with the Chargin’ Targe in order to reach new targets before the 10 seconds expire. Having a Medic assist you with an ÜberCharge can be beneficial; the standard ÜberCharge will increase your survivability, especially in crowds, while the Kritzkrieg will allow you to quickly cleave through enemy players for massive damage.

Loch Ness Bombster Kill an enemy player with sticky bombs within 5 seconds of them teleporting. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: The easiest way to get this achievement is to lay sticky bombs at an enemy Teleporter Exit, and wait for someone to appear. Target enemies who have the tell-tale glow underneath their feet, and use that to determine whether or not a Teleporter is nearby.

Pipebagger Kill at least three players with a single detonation of sticky bombs. Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: Focus your sticky bombs on places with high concentrations of enemies, such as an active control point or the Payload cart, or over-eager players waiting right at the gates when the round starts. A Kritzkrieg ÜberCharge can make this achievement easier, as you can potentially kill three people with just a single sticky.

Robbed Royal Destroy 100 enemy sticky bombs with the Scottish Resistance. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: Whenever you see some stickies, chances are they are all concentrated rather tightly, so you only need to use one or two bombs to destroy multiple stickies. Just be wary as the enemy Demoman is likely to be nearby. Always try to predict where an enemy Demoman would place sticky traps, and toss your own into those areas and destroy them. You can also get several points toward this achievement by shepherding friendly Sentry guns against enemy Demomen who try to attack with an ÜberCharge.

Scotch Guard Kill 3 enemies capping or pushing a cart in a single Stickybomb detonation 3 separate times. Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: While defending capture points, try to place sticky traps in innocuous locations where they won't be immediately spotted, and detonating them when enough people are on the point. On Payload maps, however, players will often refuse to jump onto the cart if they see stickies around it, so your best bet is to throw stickies at the cart after the enemy starts trying to push it.

Scotch Tap Glory in the slaughter of your enemies using the Eyelander. Difficulty: Medium-Hard How to obtain: This achievement requires performing a taunt with the Eyelander equipped on an unsuspecting enemy to decapitate them. While this taunt takes a while to perform, it is also very quiet so you can attempt it multiple times on the same target if you miss. Whenever possible, try to sticky-jump behind enemy lines and perform the taunt on a Sniper, or camp an enemy Teleporter Exit.

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, simply taunt with the Scottish Resistance equipped. Ideally, just set up a sticky trap and wait for an enemy to cross it.

Shorn Connery Decapitate a cloaked Spy. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: This one mostly comes down to luck. If you know a Spy is around, swing a few times randomly and you may get him. You may also want to check around the last point on maps such as Dustbowl for sneaky Spies waiting with a Cloak and Dagger for a Spy cap.

Slammy Slayvis Woundya Decapitate an enemy Soldier who is brandishing the Equalizer. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: Since the Soldier is using the Equalizer, he will most likely be already hurt to get the most of his weapon. Just watch out if he is seriously injured as he will easily out-maneuver and out-damage you unless you already have made a few decapitations beforehand. Try to use your melee weapon's wider range to kill him before he gets too close. You can use either the Eyelander or Scotsman's Skullcutter.

Something Stickied This Way Comes Kill 30 players with air burst sticky bombs. Difficulty: Medium-Hard How to obtain: This requires good reflexes to get. If you see an enemy who might be low on health for whatever reason, aim a little above them so the sticky doesn't touch the floor, and hopefully you'll blow them up with it. You can also try to "sticky-snipe" and shoot long-range sticky bombs by charging the launcher, this is easier in that your target will likely be less aware of your presence, but also harder in that you have to have better aim. Keep in mind that stickies cannot be detonated for roughly a second after being fired. While this achievement can be accomplished with the Scottish Resistance, you may have trouble detonating the sticky in time.

Spynal Tap Kill 20 Spies within 5 seconds of them sapping a friendly building. Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: An easy way to get this is to equip the Scottish Resistance and place a few sticky bombs around all friendly buildings. When you hear an Engineer's buildings being sapped, just aim and detonate. While not especially difficult, this achievement may require some time to get.

Sticky Thump Using the Scottish Resistance, kill 3 players in separate explosions without placing new sticky bombs. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: This requires up to two separate clusters to count, and the kills that the clusters obtain need to be three or more to unlock this achievement. Areas such as the tunnels on Dustbowl that are small, narrow and typically busy with player traffic will provide ample chances to blow one set of stickies up and kill someone, then detonate the next batch when more people come and so on. NOTE: You cannot replace a single sticky once you obtain a kill with a cluster, or the achievement will restart.

Tam O'Shatter Destroy 5 enemy Engineer buildings during a single ÜberCharge from a Medic. Difficulty: Medium-Hard How to obtain: Engineer nests typically have 2 or 3 buildings in them (Sentry Gun, Dispenser and a possible teleporter exit or entrance), so finding 5 in the space of 8 seconds is a difficult task. The final control point on Dustbowl is typically full of buildings ripe for stickies, so work in tandem with a Medic to ensure that you can reach the maximum number of buildings in the short space of time you have. Try to avoid approaching from areas where you have to drop down, as Sentry Guns can easily push you away while you are airborne. There is also a corresponding Medic achievement, "Medical Breakthrough", so if possible find a Medic that needs this achievement to aid you and use any Übers that they gain on you.

Tartan Spartan Do 1 million points of total blast damage. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: Like Pyromancer and Chief of Staff, this is a long grind achievement. Just use your Grenade Launcher, Sticky Bomb Launcher, or Scottish Resistance until you get it.

The Argyle Sap Blow up an Engineer, his Sentry Gun, and his Dispenser with a single Sticky bomb detonation. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: As a Demoman, you should probably be doing this on a regular basis on maps with common Engineer nests such as 2Fort or Dustbowl. If they are really dug in, have a Medic ÜberCharge you and make sure you focus enough fire to destroy the whole setup (usually 3 or 4 well-placed Stickies will be enough). Try to avoid Engineers with the Wrangler, as a Sentry under its effects can take up to 6 stickies to destroy.

The High Road Sticky jump onto a cap point and capture it. Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: The easiest way to attempt this achievement is on lightly-guarded points or by back-capping. The easiest place is on the first or fifth point of a five point CP-Style map like Well, as they capture very quickly; simply sticky-jump, and be sure to land on the metal Control Point itself. Another place to try this is on the spires on Badlands, as they are easily accessible via sticky jumping. NOTE: You must successfully capture the point for this achievement to count, so having a teammate or two assist you after you begin the capture can help immensely. Carrying the Pain Train will make you capture twice as fast, so equipping one is recommended.

There Can Be Only One Decapitate your nemesis. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: Your nemesis will be identified via a large Revenge icon above their heads, so once you have a nemesis, be sure to be on the lookout for the icon and charge them with the Eyelander once you get close enough. Using the Chargin' Targe's charge ability will aid in closing the gap between you and your nemesis faster and give you more of a chance to decapitate them. The Scotsman's Skullcutter may also be a wise choice due to its higher damage and ability to randomly Crit.

The Scottish Play Get a melee kill while sticky jumping. Difficulty: Hard How to obtain: This can be tricky to pull off, as it requires a good sense of prediction to work out where your target will be before you hit the ground. This can be done as you land on an enemy's head if you react fast enough and melee them as you make contact. You can also do this by jumping into another rocket/sticky jumping player and colliding in mid-air; just be sure to hit them before they realize what happened.

The Targe Charge Charge and kill someone with your shield bash. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: The Targe does 50 damage on a direct hit with an enemy, and an additional 10 damage for each head you currently have with the Eyelander (up to 5). 100 total damage is often more than enough to kill weakened classes such as Medics and Spies. You can also try to get this by charging a retreating Scout or an Equalizer-wielding Soldier. Remember to try and charge into your target with your view slightly angled to the right of the player for best results.

The Stickening Kill 3 Heavies from full health with a single sticky bomb detonation. Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: Heavies in a contested area will rarely be at full health unless accompanied by a Medic, and will most likely destroy your stickies or directly attack you once they realize that they are being shot at. Placing stickies on places like the roof of control point B or C on Gravel Pit, around corners on Dustbowl, or in unexpected places near the enemy spawn will help you find Heavies that are on full health as well as hide the stickies to ensure they are not destroyed prematurely. The Scottish Resistance can help by separating your clusters and giving you more chances and more places to place stickies. If you see an ÜberCharged Heavy, try to lay at least 5 stickies at his feet and detonating them when the charge wears off, if he is Übered then chances are that he is revved up, so he will be easy to lead. However, often the Heavy will try to kill you in order to destroy the stickies, so try to stay out of his direct line of sight.

Three Times a Laddy Dominate three Engineers. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: A Demoman can often wipe out an Engineer and is buildings in one detonation of sticky bombs. Just watch out for any Level 3 Sentry Guns unless you have a good angle of attack or an ÜberCharge to deal with it. If the Engineer has the Wrangler, try to kill the Engineer himself first, then retreat from the Sentry while it's powered down. Be sure to watch out for Mini-Combat Sentries as well, as well as Engineers with the Frontier Justice.

Well Plaid! Kill 10 enemies while assisting or being assisted by another Demoman. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: When there are friendly Demomen nearby, try coordinating to focus on the same target, making sure both of you hit a given enemy at least once before killing them.
