Talk:Obtaining Sniper achievements

Dead Reckoning

Two things:

• "Bind the 'explode' or 'kill' console command to a key and press it after firing." Nabbed from the Dead Reckoning achievement tips. Not a good tip to include in my opinion since it's encouraging players to be less useful. A better tip would be: "Spend more time near the front lines and engaging lone enemies with the Huntsman at close-medium range."

• Also, I suspect it may be possible to get this achievement in a similar fashion to "Fire and Forget" achievement for the Pyro, because there have been times where Snipers I killed gained the achievement upon me dying from the Tribalman's Shiv bleed effect. --Flying Pyro 20:16, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. When I'm heading through the so-far-unrevised obtainment descriptions, I'll be sure to take anything of the sort. Good thing that's been pointed out; I now have a justification for the removal of those things. -- InShane 06:03, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

My Brilliant Career bug

If if this achievement has stopped counting as for me when I was on 6/10 it may be related to "watching it". Try deselecting it from "Show in HUD" on Achievements screen, worked for me. Already reported.
