Kills with detonators: new "Detonator Destroyer" and/or "Core Crusher" Badge/Achievement

(Pokeking593) #1

Ever get kills with the detonator/core for delivery? Sure, who hasn’t? What about a second kill in the same life without dropping it? Maybe once or twice? How about three kills? Not easy is it? You ever see someone get three kills with the det/core and a Gaunlet badge? That aint something that happens every day. But to get a triple kill with the det/core and a Gaunlet in the same life when playing as Rhino? That ain’t something you hear about very often, let alone think would be possible.

The reason I thought about this is because I did this myself without even planning to do it. Yes, I got a Gaunlet Triple Kill as a Rhino about half an hour ago. However, I sadly do not have a computer to record even a single life on minimal settings, nor do I have the money to get one that could, so I don’t really have any proof, which means that for anyone who reads this has the right to call me a liar. Go ahead, I don’t even care because I’m that proud of and happy with myself for doing it.

Now, while I’m normally not a braggart or even decent enough to get a bodyshot with a sniper rifle, I thought a new Badge or maybe even an achievement to reward those who are able to get a GTK as Rhino. I’ve also made a disscusion for this in Steam’s Dirty Bomb community hub so those who also want a new Badge and/or achievement for a GTK can help petition.

New badges are always cool. I think a lot of us already have at least one of all the badges (except the execution ones for me), so I would certainly welcome good badges

This reminds me of the previous 50 assists badge. It forced you into a very specific play style and due to how difficult it was to acquire most people never reached it.

I’d say one kill is more appropriate.

If you have to do multiple kills with cores, something is wrong with your team or yourself.

It’s a bit like the Doctor badge. I got plenty of them but most of them are thanks to clueless team mates that refuse to take cover and need to be revived over and over again within a short time.

Having an achievment for it would probally makes some players focus on trying to kill with it instead of delivering it therefore, screwing their team over.
I wouldn’t mind having a badge for killing with milk cartons, but please let SD hide it from newer players until they know the basics.

Yep. Even worse than that though, is that it encourages players to run around with the data core trying to hit people in the face without actually delivering it.

Ah… I never thought about that.

(EDIT) There NOT is a silver badge for one kill with the crate. I apologize for the confusion.

Your comment made me doubt so I loaded up the game to ensure that I’m not wrong. :stuck_out_tongue:
I assume you mean the gauntlet badge but it’s awarded by delivering the data core without dropping it on the way and not by achieving a kill.

Regarding badges, new ones would be cool and I’d like to see some of them in the form of trinkets after being unlocked. I’m only missing 3. The 20 melee kills one 'cause I never play like a bored Phantom and haven’t bothered to try, that final healing one for 5k health in one round iirc, and the 50 kills in one round. The closest I’ve been to getting the 50 kills is 46-48 multiple times and it’s a huge killjoy. The medic one sounds easy as an Aura, but I guess I don’t play medic enough to have been in a position to unlock that one. Maybe I’ll go try that tonight.

Yeah I believe had gotten confused with another silver badge I had gotten at the time.

I always wondered why there wasn’t a badge for blowing people up with the C4 or smashing them with the data core.

On the flipside, it might also actually encourage people to go get the data core in the first place. I lost count of how many times I was defending a full takeover of the return point only to notice my team practicing trick jumps and teabagging dead enemy bodies while waiting for them to respawn, instead of going to get the data core.

I think instead of a badge, they just add it in as a hidden achievement on Steam. Get Gauntlet and a kill with a carryable objective - “Objective Mauler” or “The Aggressive Milk Man” have some nice achievement names to them.

Maybe even another one for getting a triple kill with the objective in a set amount of time, no need for it to be gauntlet - “Drug Hitter”

And finally, the last one that comes to mind, grabbing the carryable objective, and then immediately dying to the proxy mine on bridge 5+ times awards you the “Objectively potato” achievement.

If you run into a turrets sight, pick up the objective, and then die to said turret you get the “Blind sided” achievement and a special skin with sarcastic remarks for the merc you died as.

I think rather if you die to a turret while you had the det/core would be better criteria.

A bit off topic, but sinc ewe are discussing achievements, I don’t think there’s a better spot, so here are some achievements for I thought of for Proxy.

“Turnover Tosser” : Lay 50 mines that kill an enemy via proximity detonation

“Flapjack Flipper” : Lay 200 mines that kill an enemy via proximity detonation

“Pancake Pulverizer” : Lay 1000 mines that kill an enemy via proximity detonation

“Hellcake Heaver” : Lay 5000 mines that kill an enemy via proximity detonation

“Souffle Shooter” : Kill 10 enemies with a prematurely detonated (shot) mine as Proxy (could be an enemy’s mine too)

“Baker with a Boomstick” : Kill 50 enemies with a prematurely detonated (shot) mine as Proxy (could be an enemy’s mine too)

“Chef with a Shotgun” : Kill 200 enemies with a prematurely detonated (shot) mine as Proxy (could be an enemy’s mine too)

“Baker’s Lament” : Have a mine you placed that was shot or triggered by an enemy kill 3 of your teammates (interacts with “Cooking Catastrophe” below)

And for all mercs:

“Cooking Catastrophe” : Kill 3 enemies with the explosion of a single mine or C4 you placed or shot (interacts with "Baker’s Lament above)

“Cricket Captain” : As any merc, kill 5 enemies in single life using only a Cricket Bat (for the kill to qualify, all the damage you dealt must be from a Cricket Bat, so you can still use other weapons and abilities while going for this)
