| obtain-text = After consuming [[Bonk! Atomic Punch]], use it to negate a large amount of gunfire, such as that from a [[Sentry Gun]] or [[Heavy]]. Give yourself enough time to retreat to a safe area before the effects wear off; if you get caught in harm's way under the effect of [[slowdown]], you're as good as dead. Repeat this, without dying, until you get the achievement. Negating the damage from an environmental hazard, such as the train on [[Well]], will count toward the achievement.

'''How To''': Should happen after some time (about 15 hours at a rate of two kills per minute). The achievement refers to the 2004 Boston Red Sox Season, where they won the World Series.

| obtain-text = It is crucial to use your navigation tools to approach the Heavy/Medic [[combo]] from behind and catch them by surprise. Typically, they will be found near the frontlines. Kill the Medic first, then take out the Heavy while he is preoccupied with your team or retreating. If the Heavy engages you, don't panic; you have 20 seconds and your speed allows you to outmaneuver him and still shoot him in the back.

{{Show achievement|Scout|Batter Up
 
+
| obtain-level = Easy
'''How To''': Should be pretty easy. Use the energy drink, then run into a whole bunch of gunfire, or in front of a [[Sentry Gun]], then come back when it starts to wear off. Repeat until you get the achievement. Another way to do this is to get the attention of a Heavy, run around a corner (works well on [[Dustbowl]]), activate your Bonk!, and run into him after he's spun up. Be sure to retreat a bit early though, since unlike a Sentry a Heavy can follow you around the corner.

|[[Image:Batter up.png|64px]]
+
| obtain-text = A Medic with a full ÜberCharge meter can be easily identified by a particle effect surrounding his [[Medi Gun]]. An aware [[Medic]] is rarely found alone and will often deploy his ÜberCharge if under attack, so you will need to ambush him. If you don't mind the additional risk, drink [[Crit-a-Cola]] shortly before attacking to increase your damage.

+
}}
'''How To:''' Simply double jump until you unlock the achievement. It is not necessary to "grind" for this achievement, as you will jump enough in regular play to get it eventually. Any double jumps performed in the set up phase count towards this achievement. The fastest way to do this is spamming the jump button up flights of stairs, giving you several small double jumps.  You can also get a lot of small double jumps in areas with low ceilings, such as doorways. One area with a low ceiling would be the air shaft in Turbine.

| obtain-text = At the beginning of a CTF round, rush toward the enemy Intelligence before defenses are fully set up. Your Intelligence compass is disabled while carrying the enemy Intel, so communicate with your team to intercept the enemy's carrier. If you're patient (and have a cooperative team), you can camp the Intelligence room of either team, killing anyone who is holding your team's Intelligence.

{{Show achievement|Scout|Brushback
 
+
| obtain-level = Easy
'''How To:''' Most aware Medics will deploy their charge if they are being attacked. You can try luck by getting a Crit or hope they aren't paying attention while you're shooting them. You can also use the Sandman to stun the Medics before going in for the kill, to ensure that they cannot attack or activate the Über. If you can catch a Medic by surprise from behind, the Force-A-Nature can kill them before they even realize that they are under attack. Another method is to simply down a [[Crit-A-Cola]] shortly before attacking to increase your chances of killing the Medic before he can deploy, though if he is preparing to make a push you may reach the Medic too late.

'''How To''': Simply run over a ball that the enemy Scout just hit and stun him with it. Pay attention to Scouts with the Sandman and predict who they're going to hit and where the ball will go.

+
| obtain-text = This achievement coincides with "[[Obtaining Medic achievements#You'll_Feel_a_Little_Prick|You'll Feel a Little Prick]]", a corresponding achievement for the Medic. If you actually convince a Medic to Über you, your mobility should be enough to avoid damage, so use the [[Kritzkrieg]] to increase your crowd control capabilities. It is preferable to use the regular [[Scattergun]] or [[Shortstop]] over the [[Force-A-Nature]] or [[Soda Popper]], as you will spend less time reloading. Alternatively, use [[Crit-a-Cola]] in tandem with a standard ÜberCharge from the [[Medi Gun]] to deal [[Mini-Crit]]s with impunity.

|'''Belittled Beleaguer'''
 
Kill an opposing player that has your intelligence while holding theirs.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Medium
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Should happen often at the start of CTF rounds, just make sure you reach the intelligence before the other Scouts on your team do. Expect another Scout on the opposite team to get your intelligence and do your best to meet him and kill him. It's easier to accomplish this in games without many players.

|'''Block the Plate'''
 
Block 50 point captures.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy
 
 
 
'''How To:''' While Defense isn't exactly the Scout's cup of tea, you can hang around points being assaulted and run in when it's being capped. A cheap move is to keep running on and off the point to rack up the number to blocks. The cart does not count as a control point, so you cannot get this achievement on Payload maps.

|[[Image:Brushback.png|64px]]
 
|'''Brushback'''
 
Stun 50 enemies while they are capturing a point or pushing the cart.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Stand back from the cart or CP and send those balls flying, on Payload maps look for the cart's and when it's being pushed lob a ball at it, you will get lucky and eventually grind out this achievement. While the description only mentions enemies capturing or pushing, you can stun anyone on a point or cart, no matter who controls it or whether it is locked, and it will count towards the achievement. You do not need to hit someone at long range to get a point to this achievement, simply hitting anyone with a ball at any range while they're on the point or cart will suffice.

|[[Image:Caught napping.png|64px]]
 
|'''Caught Napping'''
 
Kill 50 enemies from behind with the [[Force-A-Nature]].
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Medium
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Try circle strafing (the Scout's default way to attack) or sneaking up on opponents from behind, and this should come over time.  You can also stun them with the Sandman and put two quick shots into their back while they're stunned, which will outright kill most light classes. But remember that you need to kill the enemy from behind - so if circle strafing, don't strafe too far. You can also use your speed to bump into and reveal enemy Spies, and shoot them in the back when they try to run away. If ambushing, a Crit-A-Cola can help significantly as it will allow you to kill any 125-HP class in one shot, and almost anything else in two, provided that they're not overhealed.

|'''Closer'''
 
Destroy 3 Teleporter Entrances.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy
 
 
 
'''How To:''' On maps like 2Fort, the Scout often runs by the enemies' spawn, where most Teleporter Entrances are set up. Destroy them there. Alternatively, on longer maps like Dustbowl or Badwater, a Bonk! drinking Scout can run past the forward lines and destroy the Teleporters by the spawn. The Scattergun makes this achievement easier, since most Teleporters will require at least three rounds to destroy.

|'''Doctoring the Ball'''
 
Kill 3 enemies while under the effects of a Medic's ÜberCharge.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Hard
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Get a Medic to Über you and kill 3 enemies. This is easier said than done, as no sane Medic would Über a Scout at a crucial time. If you convince a Medic to Über you, try using the Kritzkrieg. This achievement coincides with one for the Medic (You'll Feel a Little Prick), so you may get lucky and find a willing Medic.  Using the regular Scattergun is probably your best bet as opposed to the Force-A-Nature, as you will not have to reload after only two shots.
 
 
 
Another method involves using the Crit-A-Cola with an ÜberCharge from the Medigun. The combination means that you get Mini-Crit buff without having to worry about the de-buff.

|'''Dodgers 1, Giants 0'''
 
Kill an enemy Heavy and take his Sandvich.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy/Medium
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Simply try to deal a large amount of damage to a enemy Heavy that has the Sandvich equipped (using the damage number indications in advanced multiplayer options, you can calculate what health the Heavy in question will have), or shadow one that's being attacked by a teammate. Avoid killing the Heavy, and follow him at a medium range. Try to use corners to avoid being caught off guard. Listen for the distinct chewing sounds the Heavy makes when eating the Sandvich and move in for the kill. Be sure to kill him while he has it out or before he finishes eating it, because he will instantly un-equip it once he finishes eating. Once you pick up the Sandvich you will obtain the achievement. There is much less chance of being caught off guard, as the Heavy lacks the Shotgun with the Sandvich equipped. Therefore, the spinup time of his Minigun will give you more than enough time to retreat to a safe range or finish him off.  Killing a Heavy carrying the [[Dalokohs bar]] will also get you this achievement, and may be easier to accomplish since they will not be able to heal nearly as fast as with the Sandvich, though they may also be less willing to use it too close to the front lines because of this.

|'''Fall Classic'''
 
Cause an environmental death or suicide using the [[Force-A-Nature]]'s knockback.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty''' : Easy/Medium
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Find a Sniper on his balcony and shoot him off it, the combined damage from the gun and the fall should do the trick. In maps with instant death pits, such as [[Steel]] and [[Lumberyard]], stay near the pit and push an unlucky player down it. If your timing is good, you can also use the train in Well.

|[[Image:First blood.png|64px]]
 
|'''First Blood'''
 
Get the first kill in an Arena match.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy
 
 
 
'''How to:''' Simply try to run to the enemy as quick as possible. However, try not to get yourself killed. Alternatively, find an Arena server with a low number of players and trust to your skill and the low odds of anyone else getting the first kill. This should happen eventually from playing aggressively in any Arena game.

|[[Image:First blood part 2.png|64px]]
 
|'''First Blood, Part 2'''
 
Kill 5 enemies with the First Blood Crit buff.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Medium
 
 
 
'''How to:''' This is an extension of the First Blood achievement, and requires you to not only get first blood, but goes further and requires you to follow up first blood with another kill in the period when the first blood Crit buff is applied. While obtaining first blood may be reasonably easy, getting another kill within the five seconds when the Crit buff is applied can be quite difficult. Your best bet would be to use the Scattergun since its ammo capacity allows you to quickly follow up First Blood with a second kill without having to reload. Just try to get First Blood, then quickly find someone else and take him out before the buff wears off.

|[[Image:Foul territory.png|64px]]
 
|'''Foul Territory'''
 
Cause an environmental death by stunning an enemy.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Hard
 
 
 
'''How to:''' This achievement is highly dependent on the map, but the most reliable way to get this is at the center capture point on [[Well]] by stunning a player on the train tracks and hoping the train will run over your victim.  Another thing you can try is finding a friendly Scout trying to get the Fall Classic achievement, and stunning someone while he pushes the victim into a hazard with the [[Force-A-Nature]], getting both Scouts their respective achievements.

|[[Image:Gun down.png|64px]]
 
|'''Gun Down'''
 
Destroy an active Sentry Gun using your Pistol.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Medium
 
 
 
'''How to:''' The easiest way to do this is to find a Sentry being built, kill the Engineer working on it, wait until it's up, then shoot it down. You can also circle strafe around the sentry and Pistol it to death, or stand outside of its range and take advantage of the fact that attacking buildings does not suffer from falloff damage. Remember to use corners and the Sentry's short range to your advantage if possible. If the Engineer is still alive (or worse, has a [[Wrangler]] equipped), this achievement is best attempted on another Sentry. Getting assistance from a heavier class also works, so long as you land the finishing hit. [[Sentry Gun#Combat Mini-Sentry Gun|Combat Mini-Sentries]] used by [[Gunslinger]]-equipped engineers are particularly easy to destroy with your Pistol, so don't pass up the chance.

|[[Image:If you build it.png|64px]]
 
|'''If You Build It'''
 
Destroy 3 enemy buildings while they are still under construction.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy
 
 
 
'''How To:''' If you destroy an Engineer structure while it's building, chances are he will try building it again, hoping you will move onto a different target.  When he first puts the building down, one hit from anything will destroy it. Keep in mind that Dispensers and Teleporters take twice as long to build than Sentries, and are just as easy to destroy.

|[[Image:Im bat man.png|64px]]
 
|'''I'm Bat Man'''
 
Survive 500 damage in one life.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Medium
 
 
 
'''How To:''' While Scouts aren't built to take that much damage in one life thanks to their low health, staying near spawn exits while on defense in Payload matches is a good way to take small amounts of damage while being able to heal quickly. If on offense, try to hang around a Dispenser or a Medic, as most Medics won't keep up with the Scout's quick movement. Alternatively use fall damage and med kits to obtain this. A good trick is to jump on the torches in CP_Egypt as offense. Right as your health dips below 10, jump off and go to the resupply cabinet. Repeat this about 5 times.

|[[Image:Moon shot.png|64px]]
 
|'''Moon Shot'''
 
Stun an enemy for the maximum possible duration by hitting them with a long-range ball.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Medium
 
 
 
'''HowTo:''' On maps with large open areas hit speculative balls across the maps, eventually one will connect. Remember if you can see the target aim above their head. Snipers are easy targets for this as they generally stay stationary while aiming, and as long as you keep strafing or attack from outside their field of view, you should remain relatively safe. An easy way to achieve the Moon Shot is on Watchtower. At the beginning of a round, launch a ball above the watchtower. The other team will be running along the pipe opposite the one you're on. If you're lucky, the ball will hit a member of the opposing team and earn you the achievement.

|[[Image:No hitter.png|64px]]
 
|'''No Hitter'''
 
Steal and then capture the enemy intelligence without firing a shot.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy
 
 
 
'''How To:''' This achievement does not need to be done from the enemy intelligence spawn area, you can pick it up where a teammate dropped it and get this achievement so long as you don't fire your weapons while carrying it (note that your melee weapon can still be used). If you are capturing the intelligence yourself, you can drop it before reaching your own intelligence (default "L") and pick it up again and cap it.

|[[Image:Out of the park.png|64px]]
 
|'''Out of the Park'''
 
Bat an enemy 25 meters.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Hard
 
 
 
'''How to:''' This is a hard one. To do this, you must have the Sandman equipped, and taunt with it; furthermore, the enemy must actually fly 25 meters, if their ragdoll collides into an object before doing so you will not get the achievement, so it is best not to attempt this achievement indoors. Note, that this is the longest [[taunt]] in the game, so it is best tried on a [[Sniper]] or distracted and revved-up [[Heavy]]. Another way is do it near [[Setup]] time when near the enemy base. Just be sure that you're aiming towards open space so that their ragdoll flies far enough.

{|
 
|[[Image:Pop fly.png|64px]]
 
|'''Pop Fly'''
 
Kill 20 players while double-jumping.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Double jumping constantly and firing will help get this achievement. Keeping yourself moving and jumping around enemies go hand and hand with firing your gun. However, if you're going up against another Scout note that he will usually take out his Bat and probably kill you faster than you can fire your primary.

{|
 
|[[Image:Quick hook.png|64px]]
 
|'''Quick Hook'''
 
Kill a player in Well before the round starts.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Medium
 
 
 
'''How To:''' People (including Scouts) used to shoot through the gap between the train cart and the building to get lucky kills. Nowadays, people are more aware and don't stand near this danger spot. With the release of the Scout achievements, Scouts usually cluster around the spot trying to get a lucky kill. Another possibility is to wait for a [[Soldier]] to come the other way and shoot him from behind.
 
 
 
Alternatively, if you have the [[Force-A-Nature]], you can triple jump over either train car by jumping from the balcony (jump towards the fence, double-jump towards the car, and blast yourself towards the car again), and try to score a kill on a low-health class. This method is more likely to succeed when there are fewer enemies near the car.

|'''Retire the Runner'''
 
Kill a Scout while they are under the effect of Crit-A-Cola.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Shoot at Scouts with a glowing weapon equipped. Remember that they will have Mini-Crits inflicted upon them, so there is no damage falloff. Using the [[Pistol]] against him will rapidly drop his health, and will give you the advantage since the enemy cannot equip both a Pistol and the Crit-A-Cola simultaneously.

|[[Image:Round tripper.png|64px]]
 
|'''Round Tripper'''
 
Capture the enemy intelligence 25 times.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Should come after a reasonable amount of playing time. Obviously, go for the intelligence rather than trying primarily to kill people.

----
 
{|
 
|[[Image:Set the table.png|64px]]
 
|'''Set the Table'''
 
Initiate 10 point captures that ultimately succeed.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Just like capping intel this should come after time. Point A of Gravel Pit is a likely candidate. Note that you just have to ''initiate'' a cap, so a suicide dash that starts the cap will work, as long as your team finishes the job. Just make sure to get there first. Capping points by yourself (aided by the Scout's double capture rate advantage) will also get you points for this achievement.

{|
 
|[[Image:Side retired.png|64px]]
 
|'''Side Retired'''
 
Capture the last point in a CP map.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Medium
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Sneak behind enemy lines and wait on or near the final CP. Once the preceding one has been capped rush the point for an easy cap. This is a common team tactic, just let everyone else know you have the last cap covered. While this achievement does not have a time limit, it is generally easier to capture the final point while the enemy is focused on the first point(s), and surviving to capture the last point is harder when the enemy has multiple sentries and players guarding it.

{|
 
|[[Image:Stealing home.png|64px]]
 
|'''Stealing Home'''
 
Start capping a capture point within a second of it becoming available.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Sneak behind enemy lines and wait on or near the final CP. Once the preceding one has been capped rush the point for an easy cap. This is a common team tactic, just let everyone else know you have the next point covered. You do not need to actually capture it, only initiating the cap is needed for this achievement. On maps like Granary or Well, capturing a point right after the enemy has finished capturing it also works, as well as pushing them off the middle point at the beginning of the round.
 
The easiest way to achieve this is on KOTH_Harvest, prepare yourself from your base's roof and jump into the point via the broken roof 1 second before the point is availbable.

|[[Image:Strike zone.png|64px]]
 
|'''Strike Zone'''
 
Kill 50 enemies while they are stunned.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Medium
 
 
 
'''How To:''' The hardest part with this is getting to the stunned player before the effect wears off as the closer you are the less time you have. If you have time, you can down a Crit-A-Cola right before hitting your ball at your target, and then finish them off with your primary weapon. Although it's rare, killing someone with the baseball itself counts toward this achievement.

|'''The Big Hurt'''
 
Stun 2 Medics that are ready to deploy an ÜberCharge.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Hard
 
 
 
'''How To:''' This one won't be easy. Your best bet will be to sneak behind enemy lines and find a fully charged Medic who isn't paying attention to his flank.

{|
 
|[[Image:The cycle.png|64px]]
 
|'''The Cycle'''
 
In a single life, kill an enemy while you are on the ground, in the air, and in the water.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Medium
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Not many maps have water and you have to be submerged in water in part of it. Most people mistake this achievement as to kill someone who is ''in'' the air, water, or on land. Land and Air are easy (also gets a kill towards Pop Fly achievement) so a good idea is to either stay in the water till someone jumps in with you and then go for the next two. This can be pulled off on 2Fort, by jumping from the battlements and killing someone, killing someone on the bridge, and killing someone in the water. Well has water near most of the combat, and is thus reasonably suitable for this.

|'''Triple Play'''
 
Capture three capture points in a row in one life.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Easy
 
 
 
'''How To:''' Play Well or Granary until you get the achievement.  You can also get this on maps like Gravel Pit and Junction, but after you capture the first point make sure not to die for the rest of the round. If a group of enemies approaches as you are capping the point, it's wise to retreat unless there are numerous allies also on the point.

|[[Image:Triple steal.png|64px]]
 
|'''Triple Steal'''
 
Capture the enemy intelligence 3 times in a single CTF round.
 
 
 
'''Difficulty:''' Hard
 
 
 
'''How To:''' This is best done on 24/7 CTF servers, as those usually have the time limits for each round greatly extended. Note that the captures do not need to be in a single life or even consecutive, so you do not have to worry about getting killed while carrying the intelligence or about other Scouts capturing it in-between your runs, unless the capture limit is only 3 (some servers will set it at 4 or more).

Latest revision as of 13:41, 29 July 2023

A Year to Remember
A Year to Remember
Get 2004 lifetime kills.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: This achievement will happen naturally after enough time playing as Scout. Make use of the Scout’s strengths to flank and pick off weaker opponents when they least expect it.


Artful Dodger
Artful Dodger
Dodge 1000 damage in a single life using your Bonk! Atomic Punch.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: After consuming Bonk! Atomic Punch, use it to negate a large amount of gunfire, such as that from a Sentry Gun or Heavy. Give yourself enough time to retreat to a safe area before the effects wear off; if you get caught in harm's way under the effect of slowdown, you're as good as dead. Repeat this, without dying, until you get the achievement. Negating the damage from an environmental hazard, such as the train on Well, will count toward the achievement.


Back 2 Back
Back 2 Back
While using the Back Scatter, kill a Heavy/Medic pair within 20 seconds of each other.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
How to obtain: It is crucial to use your navigation tools to approach the Heavy/Medic combo from behind and catch them by surprise. Typically, they will be found near the frontlines. Kill the Medic first, then take out the Heavy while he is preoccupied with your team or retreating. If the Heavy engages you, don't panic; you have 20 seconds and your speed allows you to outmaneuver him and still shoot him in the back.


Back In Business
Back In Business
While using the Back Scatter, kill 20 spies from behind.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: As the Scout, you can easily Spy-check by catching up to any teammate and shooting a few bursts from the Back Scatter. If you identify a disguised or Cloaked Spy, show no mercy.


Batter Up
Batter Up
Perform 1000 double jumps.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: This achievement will be naturally obtained after a decent amount of time playing as Scout.


Batting the Doctor
Batting the Doctor
Kill a Medic that is ready to deploy an ÜberCharge.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: A Medic with a full ÜberCharge meter can be easily identified by a particle effect surrounding his Medi Gun. An aware Medic is rarely found alone and will often deploy his ÜberCharge if under attack, so you will need to ambush him. If you don't mind the additional risk, drink Crit-a-Cola shortly before attacking to increase your damage.


Beanball
Beanball
Stun a Scout with their own ball.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
How to obtain: You'll need to refill your Sandman's ball meter with an enemy Scout's ball and use it to slow him. Look to see where he fires his ball, go grab it, and fire back at him!


Belittled Beleaguer
Belittled Beleaguer
Kill an opposing player that has your intelligence while holding theirs.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: At the beginning of a CTF round, rush toward the enemy Intelligence before defenses are fully set up. Your Intelligence compass is disabled while carrying the enemy Intel, so communicate with your team to intercept the enemy's carrier. If you're patient (and have a cooperative team), you can camp the Intelligence room of either team, killing anyone who is holding your team's Intelligence.


Block the Plate
Block the Plate
Block 50 point captures.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Hang around Control Points and defend them against captures. Do not accidentally stray off of a Control Point before killing any attackers.


Brushback
Brushback
Stun 50 enemies while they are capturing a point or pushing the cart.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: When you see enemies trying to complete the respective map objectives, use the Sandman to lob balls at them. You can slow anyone on a point or cart, no matter who controls it or whether it is locked.


Caught Napping
Caught Napping
Kill 50 enemies from behind with the Force-A-Nature.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Ambush your opponents from behind, using the Force-A-Nature's severe burst damage to make short work of them.


Closer
Closer
Destroy 3 teleporter entrances.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Use your speed and double jump to sneak past enemy lines and get to their Teleporters. The Force-A-Nature or Atomizer can also aid in accessing alternate paths, while Bonk! Atomic Punch can be consumed to bypass an occupied area.


Doctoring the Ball
Doctoring the Ball
Kill 3 enemies while under the effects of a Medic's ÜberCharge.
Difficulty: Hard
How to obtain: This achievement coincides with "You'll Feel a Little Prick", a corresponding achievement for the Medic. If you actually convince a Medic to Über you, your mobility should be enough to avoid damage, so use the Kritzkrieg to increase your crowd control capabilities. It is preferable to use the regular Scattergun or Shortstop over the Force-A-Nature or Soda Popper, as you will spend less time reloading. Alternatively, use Crit-a-Cola in tandem with a standard ÜberCharge from the Medi Gun to deal Mini-Crits with impunity.


Dodgers 1, Giants 0
Dodgers 1, Giants 0
Kill an enemy Heavy and take his Sandvich.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to obtain: Shadow a retreating Heavy who has taken significant damage. When you find him eating his lunchbox item, move in for the kill and collect the ammo pack he drops. You can also scavenge the ammo pack from an already-dead Heavy, although it's impossible to tell whether the ammo pack came from a Sandvich.


Fall Classic
Fall Classic
Cause an environmental death or suicide using the Force-A-Nature's knockback.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to obtain: You will need to be credited with having "finished off" an enemy. Use the Force-a-Nature's knock back to blast enemies into any sort of environmental hazard, whether it be bottomless pits, trains, or sawblades. Alternatively, look for enemies at high elevations and knock them off, allowing the fall damage to finish the job.


First Blood
First Blood
Get the first kill in an Arena or Competitive match.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Scouts are often the first to make contact with the enemy in Arena matches. Play aggressively, targeting enemies who have already taken damage.


First Blood, Part 2
First Blood, Part 2
Kill 5 enemies with the First Blood crit buff in an Arena match.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: After obtaining First Blood, use the corresponding Crit buff to get additional kills. Use the Scattergun or Pistol, weapons with reasonable ammo capacity that you can use to quickly get a second kill without having to reload.


Foul Territory
Foul Territory
Cause an environmental death by stunning or slowing an enemy.
Difficulty: Very Hard
How to obtain: Use the Sandman to slow enemies near environmental hazards such as the trains on Well, the sawblades on Sawmill, or the Horseless Headless Horsemann on Mann Manor.

Gun Down
Gun Down
Destroy an active sentry gun using your pistol.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: The safest way to take out a Sentry Gun with your Pistol is to snipe an exposed section from long-range, especially if it is unattended. A more risky method would be to attack as you would with the Scattergun, circle strafing around the Sentry Gun so it does not lock onto you. You can get assistance from other classes as long as you land the finishing hit. Combat Mini-Sentry Guns deployed by Engineers with the Gunslinger are particularly easy to destroy.


If You Build It
If You Build It
Destroy 3 enemy buildings while they are still under construction.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Ambush an enemy Engineer and pick off his buildings as soon as they are deployed. Combat Mini-Sentry Guns deploy in less than two seconds, so avoid attempting this against Engineers with the Gunslinger equipped.

Steal and then capture the enemy intelligence without firing a shot.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Although you cannot fire your weapons, you can still use your melee weapon. This feat does not need to be performed all the way from the enemy's Intelligence room; you may pick up and carry the Intelligence from where a teammate drops it. It is possible to quickly drop and retake the Intelligence immediately before capturing it.


Out of the Park
Out of the Park
Bat an enemy 25 meters.
Difficulty: Hard
How to obtain: When killed by the Sandman's taunt kill, the enemy's ragdoll must actually fly 25 meters without colliding into another object. Thus, it is best to attempt this achievement outdoors or in open areas so that there is room for your enemy's ragdoll to fly far enough.

Although the Sandman's taunt is silent, it is longest in the game, so it is best tried on a distracted enemy, such as a scoped Sniper or revved-up Heavy. Drinking Bonk! Atomic Punch before executing the taunt will allow you to attempt this achievement without fear of another enemy killing you in mid-taunt.
