Balls-E Destroy the tank during the final seconds of the bomb being deployed. Difficulty: Hard How to obtain: As a loose rule, a tank should be at least halfway destroyed by the time it reaches the halfway point of the map.

.executioner In a single wave, kill 15 bomb-carrying robots in a row before they level up. Difficulty: Hard How to obtain: A robot will "level up" by taunting while carrying the bomb, bestowing upon it a series of buffs that make surrounding robots harder to kill. If a robot picks up the bomb, immediately kill it before it taunts. If the round has a relatively small number of robots to kill, consider just singling out the carrier so that other robots can pick up the bomb.

Brotherhood of Steel Complete a mission with 5 people on your Friends List. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: Before the first round begins, make sure your entire team consists of players found on your friend list.

Clockwork Carnage Destroy two tanks within 5 seconds of each other. Difficulty: Hard How to obtain: In certain scenarios, two tanks will spawn in relatively short succession. There is relatively little distance to cover in most Mann vs. Machine maps, so set up your line of defense close to where the robots spawn. Lower the first tank to a critical level of health without destroying it, do the same to the second tank, then have your team split up to simultaneously destroy both at once. Depending on the map, you may have to let the damaged first tank bypass your line of defense so that you can engage the second tank the moment it spawns.

Clockwork Conqueror Destroy a tank within 20 seconds of its arrival. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: Once a tank spawns, your team should concentrate on destroying it, making use of Kritzkrieg or Crit Boost Canteens. Placing a Sentry Gun or Stickybombs near its spawn point can help deal extra damage at the beginning of the round.

Ctrl + Assault + Delete Destroy a sentry buster before it reaches its target. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: A Sentry Buster has a great amount of health, so get help from your teammates to take it down. Deal as much damage as possible and make use of weapons with slowdown, such as the upgraded Mad Milk or Jarate, to prevent it from reaching the Sentry Gun. It's possible to place the Sentry Gun away from the battlefield to buy you time, but the Sentry Gun itself will need to contribute to the battle to cause a Sentry Buster to appear.

Kritical Terror Use a canteen charged with 'Crit Boost' to destroy a giant robot. Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: With a Canteen filled with "Crit Boost", it should be fairly easy to take down a giant robot with those 5 seconds of full critical hits.

Turbocharger Buff 4 or more teammates as a Soldier at the same time in a single wave. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: Using either the Buff Banner, Battalion's Backup, or the Concheror, your team will usually be not too far from each other in this game mode, plus you can upgrade these so that range isn't an issue. The rage meter should build up fairly quickly by delivering splash damage to the onslaught of waves. If using the Battalion's Backup, try to find stray enemies with only their melee equipped to receive minimal damage.

If all piles are collected, you will get a bonus at the end of a wave, which will unlock this achievement. Don't destroy robots who are in hard to reach places. Ideally each player is responsible for the cash dropped by a robot they destroyed, but other players may need to compensate for the efforts of long-range fighters like Snipers. Use Scouts for the team's dedicated cash collector because of their abilities as described under Frags to Riches. Spies can also help where robots are still around. You can track how many credits are on the ground at any time by checking the Scoreboard.
