Bugs

• Dead Reckoning achievement can be earned by killing an enemy player after your own death in any way, not just with a Huntsman arrow. The achievement can also be earned by the following methods:
  • Firing any Sniper Rifle at the exact same moment an enemy Sniper fires back.
  • Finishing off an enemy Soldier or Demoman who dies to their own explosive self-damage with the same rocket, grenade or Stickybomb that kills you.
  • Causing an enemy to bleed to death with the Tribalman's Shiv after you are killed.
• If Jarate is used to assist in the killing of a Spy by another Sniper using a melee weapon, then the assist kill contributes to the Kook the Spook achievement.
• The Last Wave and Be Polite achievements can be earned simultaneously while taunting with the Kukri active.
