Australian Rules Dominate an enemy Sniper. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: Aim for Snipers who are unaware of your presence. Sniping from unexpected places can greatly aid in catching them by surprise. A headshot will instantly kill any Sniper who isn't overhealed or wearing the Croc-o-Style item set. |
Beaux and Arrows Kill a Heavy & Medic pair with the bow. Difficulty: Hard How to obtain: It is recommended that you kill the Medic first, as he will likely be in the rear and more difficult to hit than the Heavy. Use Jarate and have a friendly Pyro light your arrows to do more damage. Although you have the Huntsman equipped, keep a moderate distance from the pair. |
Be Efficient Get 3 kills with the Sniper Rifle without missing a shot. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: The kills do not have to be attained in just one life, so take your time to aim and charge your shot. Slower classes, such as Heavies and Soldiers, make good targets; there is no need to risk missing by trying to shoot a Scout. |
Be Polite Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you doffing your hat. Difficulty: Very Easy How to obtain: Taunt with your melee weapon equipped immediately upon killing an enemy. |
Consolation Prize Get backstabbed 50 times. Difficulty: Very Easy How to obtain: Spies are always looking to backstab unaware Snipers. If you really want to help with the progress of this achievement, don’t use the Razorback. |
Dead Reckoning Kill an enemy with an arrow while you're dead. Difficulty: Medium-Hard How to obtain: This achievement will require either good timing or good luck. If consciously attempting this, engage lone enemies in combat and prepare to fire an arrow at their head right before dying. |
De-sentry-lized Destroy 3 Engineer sentry guns. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: One fully charged shot from the Sniper Rifle will destroy a level 1 Sentry Gun, while two fully charged shots will destroy any unshielded Sentry Gun. Beware of Sentry Guns shielded by the Wrangler, which will take far more shots to destroy. If an Engineer is repairing the Sentry Gun or using the Wrangler, kill him first. |
Dropped Dead Kill a Scout in midair with your Sniper Rifle or the Huntsman. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: While Scouts aren't the easiest targets to hit, they can still be killed with good prediction. Keep an eye out for areas where Scouts might double or triple jump to access. |
Enemy at the Gate Kill an opponent within the first second of the round. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: On any map with setup time, charge your shot and fire at a target immediately after the gates drop. In King of the Hill, you are able to accomplish this anytime before the Control Point is initially captured. |
Friendship is Golden Extinguish a burning teammate with your Jarate. Difficulty: Very Easy How to obtain: Throw your Jarate at a teammate who is on fire to extinguish them. |
Have a Plan Capture the flag in CTF. Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: Snipers don't excel at flag running. However, if an opportunity presents itself, take the Intelligence and run, using your Submachine Gun or uncharged shots from your primary weapon to defend yourself. |
Jarate Chop Jarate and then kill 3 enemies with your Kukri. Difficulty: Hard How to obtain: You must kill three enemy players that were all hit by the same Jarate. Because the Sniper's survivability is so low, having a Medic deploy a normal ÜberCharge on you can help considerably. It is recommended to equip the Bushwacka, which will deal full Critical hits to your targets. |
Jarring Transition Use Jarate to reveal a cloaked Spy. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: If you bump into a cloaked Spy, throw Jarate at his predicted path. Use your Jarate to check corners and recesses where Spies using the Cloak and Dagger may hide. This achievement can also be obtained by using Mad Milk to reveal a Spy while playing as the Scout. |
Jumper Stumper Kill a rocket or grenade-jumping enemy in midair with your Sniper Rifle or the Huntsman. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: Keep an eye on areas that require a rocket or sticky jump to access. While it is harder to land a headshot on a midair opponent, keep in mind that those who rocket or sticky jump will already be damaged; a fully charged shot should suffice. |
Kill Everyone You Meet Kill 1000 enemies. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: This achievement will be obtained naturally after a decent amount of time playing as Sniper. |
Kook the Spook Kill 10 Spies with your Kukri. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: Your Kukri is your natural defense against Spies. Turn around and Spy-check nearby teammates whenever you hear the Spy's decloaking sound. |
My Brilliant Career Top the scoreboard 10 times on teams of 6 or more players. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: Snipers earn 1.5 points per headshot, allowing them to quickly climb the scoreboard. If you are having problems accumulating points, play as a different class before switching to Sniper again. Medics, for example, tend to accumulate a disproportionate amount of points per life compared to their teammates. Once you've attained a sizable lead, switch to Sniper and finish the round. |
Not a Crazed Gunman, Dad In a single life, kill 3 enemies while they are achieving an objective. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: Wait to kill your target until they are on top of the Control Point or Payload cart. |
Number One Assistant Score 5 Assists with the Jarate in a single round. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: The description is misleading; for this achievement, you must get five assists in a single life. Throw your Jarate where players tend to congregate, such as around chokepoints, control points, and the setup gates at the start of a round. Using the Sydney Sleeper allows you to inflict Jarate at longer ranges. |
Parting Shot Headshot an enemy player the moment his invulnerability wears off. Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: If you're far enough away from an invulnerable target, they will probably not be paying attention to you. Keep your crosshair on their head until the ÜberCharge wears off, then fire. |
Pincushion Hit an enemy with 3 arrows, without killing them. Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: Quickly fire multiple arrows at an unaware Heavy, especially one who is overhealed. To avoid accidentally killing your foe, do not aim for the head or charge your shots. |
Rain on Their Parade Jarate an enemy and the Medic healing him. Difficulty: Very Easy How to obtain: Medics are usually found healing another teammate, so aim your Jarate directly between him and his patient. |
Robbin' Hood Take down an intelligence carrier with a single arrow. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: Always try to snipe from a place that has a direct line of sight to the paths that lead to your Intelligence. Scouts will often try to take your Intelligence, so pick them off as they return to their base. |
Rode Hard, Put Away Wet Jarate an enemy that you're dominating. Difficulty: Medium-Hard How to obtain: While obtaining a domination is relatively easy, getting close enough to hit your victim with Jarate without being killed is another story. Launch your Jarate while flanked by teammates to avoid being singled out. |
Saturation Bombing Jarate 4 enemy players with a single throw. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: Throw your Jarate into a crowd and hope it hits four people. This is best done where players tend to congregate, such as around chokepoints, control points, and the setup gates at the start of a round. |
Self-destruct Sequence Headshot 10 enemy Snipers. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: Aim for the head and don't bother to charge, as a headshot will kill any Sniper that is not overhealed. Don't use the Sydney Sleeper and don't bother trying to headshot Snipers wearing the Croc-o-style Kit. |
Shafted Stab an enemy with an arrow. Difficulty: Medium-Hard How to obtain: Find an unaware enemy, such a busy enemy Sniper, and kill him with the Huntsman's taunt. This is somewhat easier than other taunt kills, as it only takes one second to thrust the silent arrow that stuns your target. |
Shock Treatment Kill a spy whose backstab attempt was blocked by your Razorback. Difficulty: Medium-Hard How to obtain: Once your shield is destroyed, pounce on the Spy with your Kukri. Unfortunately, if a Spy sees your Razorback, they probably won't try to backstab you, switching instead to their Revolver or Ambassador. You may have better luck against inexperienced Spies or an enemy Spy intentionally trying to achieve the Die Another Way achievement. |
Shoot the Breeze Kill a fully invisible Spy in a single hit. Difficulty: Hard How to obtain: You can obtain this achievement by using any method capable of killing a Spy in one hit, including charged shots, headshots, or critical hits from your melee weapon. If you know a Spy is in an area, look for shimmers of Cloak and shoot where you think he will go. |
Socket to Him Headshot an enemy Demoman. Difficulty: Very Easy How to obtain: Try to headshot any Demoman that you see. Demomen will often stand still while laying sticky traps and will usually pay little attention to you when locked in a melee battle. |
The Last Wave Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you waving to them. Difficulty: Very Easy How to obtain: Taunt with any weapon equipped immediately upon killing an enemy. |
Triple Prey In a single round, get a kill with 3 different weapons. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: The three kills do not have to be done on the same enemy or in a single life. You can change your loadout at any time during the round, so it is possible to perform this with three different melee weapons, for example. |
Trust Your Feelings Get 5 kills with the Sniper Rifle without your scope. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: A no-scoped shot will only deal 43-57 damage. If need be, weaken your target with a headshot, Submachine Gun fire, or Jarate first. |
Überectomy Kill a Medic that is ready to deploy an ÜberCharge. Difficulty: Medium-Hard How to obtain: Killing enemy Medics is one of your highest priorities. Keep in mind that Medics will actively avoid wide, open areas to avoid being sniped, so hit them from an unexpected angle. |
William Tell Overkill Pin an enemy Heavy to the wall via his head. Difficulty: Easy-Medium How to obtain: Heavies are rather immobile. Aim for the head of every Heavy you see, especially if said Heavy is standing near a wall. Eventually, you will kill the Heavy while pinning him to the wall, earning the achievement. |
