Rationing

Kill an enemy with your shotgun while you're out of minigun ammo.


This one is pretty easy to get in normal play. Simply run out of minigun ammo and attack an enemy with your shotgun. If you manage to kill them with it while your minigun ammo is zero, you'll snag the achievement. Make sure you don't run into a discarded enemy weapon while doing so, or you'll get ammo for your minigun and not get the achievement.

To farm this one, empty all your ammo into a nearby wall. Then have an enemy stand in front of you while you pump shotgun shells into their willing body. As soon as they drop, you'll get the achievement. Pretty easy to farm, and you don't even need to have a willing partner to farm it. As long as you are good with a shotgun, anyways.

Tip: If you damage someone with the minigun, run out of ammo, then kill them with the shotgun, you will still get the achievement.

Vanguard Party

Be the first on your team to start capturing a control point in a round.


This one is exactly the same to get in normal play and by farming, so we'll just cover them in a single tactic. Basically, just convince your teammates that you need the achievement and that they shouldn't start capping the point right away. If they are nice, they'll let you be the first to cap, netting you the achievement with no muss or fuss. Just make sure to be courteous to another Heavy trying to get it at a later date.

Tip: Blocking a capture doesn't count and if you are blocking a capture and then revert it and start capping the point, you'll get the achievement. But not if someone else is with you.

Pushkin the Kart

Get 50 caps on payload maps.


Welcome to another grind achievement! To get this in normal play, have fun being the cart defender! You must stick by the cart at all times, so that you get credit for the capture upon it going over a checkpoint. Just keep playing offense on payload maps, and you'll get it.

To farm this one, just join an empty payload server with a friend. Have him play the enemy team and do nothing while you capture. Then grind away. Simple but long. It is suggested that your partner read a book or something to pass the time while you grind.

Tip: It counts only actual caps, not cap points. So each checkpoint is only worth 1 towards this achievement.

Marxman

Kill 10 enemies in mid-air with the minigun.


This one is interesting, to say the least. To do it in normal play, team up with a Soldier or Demo for a base assault. Whenever you see an enemy fly into the air from an explosion, gun them down. With that sort of teamwork, you'll get the achievement in no time.

To farm, get a couple friends to play Scouts. Have them double-jump in front of you as you gun them down. Each one you kill in mid-air translates to progress in the achievement. As soon as 10 go down, you will get the achievement!

Tip: Jumping enemies count as being in mid-air.

Gorky Parked

Kill 25 enemies while you're standing on a control point you own.


To do this normally, play as a defensive Heavy. That is, play on a defensive team on a map such as Granary. Stay on the point and kill anyone who approaches. Works best when you have a medic to help you out. As soon as 25 enemies bite the dust to your awesome defending skills, you will get the achievement.

To farm this achievement, just have the other enemy team play Scouts (noticing a pattern here?) and have them rush at you as you stand on a point. Gun them down, and you'll get the achievement lickity split. Make sure you are standing on the control point completely!

Tip: A point that is being captured still counts as yours. So you can run onto a point to block a capture and then kill everyone.

Purge

Kill 15 enemies capturing a control point you own.


This one is also another defensive Heavy grind. basically, whenever you see a point being captured, rush to it and eliminate the fool who dares to capture your point. Once you do it 25 times, you'll get the achievement. Will be easy to get if you are regularly on the losing team, hard if you normally dominate.

To farm this one, just get enemies to rush onto a friendly control point. As each make it on and start capturing it, blow them away. It's a great achievement to work on in conjunction with Division of Labor, thanks to the amount of kills necessary.

Tip: If you are blocking the capture, it won't count. Instead, it will count towards Gorky Parked.

Lenin A Hand

Help 5 teammates get revenge on their nemeses.


This one is hard. It's both time-consuming and is equal measure luck and skill. Probably the easiest way you are going to get it is by getting revenge on any nemeses your Medic has. As it counts when you get a kill or assist, so long as your teammate has the guy as a nemesis, you'll gain progress towards the achievement. Have fun!

To farm this, have a five enemies kill your Medic three times each without the Medic killing them back. As soon as the Medic is being dominated by all five, have the Medic heal you and mow them down. Bam, instant achievement. You can speed this up by having two of the enemy players be Medics healing two others, thus getting them assist dominations (which are equally valid).

Tip: They can be your nemesis too, just as long as they are also your teammate's nemesis.
