Australian Rules

Dominate an enemy Sniper.

Quite possibly the msot natural of all the achievements on this list, this one will most likely be one of the first you get. This is due, in part, to the fact that Snipers tend to fight each other. A lot. This means that, more than any other class, an enemy Sniper is the most likely candidate for domination. Simply be a good Sniper and clear the enemy territory of other snipers, and you'll get this achievement in no time.

To farm this achievement, have a friend play a Sniper at the same time that you do. Then, headshot him repeatedly until you get the achievement. Viola! Achievement acquired. For added bonus, have him do the same to you to get the achievement as well! Everyone loves a friend that reciprocates favors, after all. This is also a great achievement to work on alongside Be Efficient and Self-destruct Sequence, as both of those require kills, especially headshots.

Note: You do not have to dominate using your Sniper Rifle. You can dominate with any method, including assists from Jarate, Kukri stabs, or the SMG. You simply have to dominate an enemy Sniper.

Be Efficient

Get 3 kills with the Sniper Rifle without missing a shot.

This one, contrary to what the achievement leads you to believe, is not hard. You do not need to get a kill with three consecutive shots (although it helps!). Rather, you must achieve three kills before missing a single shot. In other words, you can weaken up targets and kill them rather than attempting to get constant headshots. However, if you can get three headshot kills in three shots, all the more power to you!

Farming this achievement is best done with other achievements such as Australia Rules. Simply have a buddy stand and left you headshot him three consecutive times without you shooting anywhere else. Instant achievement. Not that in both farming and normal, you can weaken up a target with the Kukri before killing them with the Sniper Rifle, as the only qualifiers are that you do not miss a single shot and that you get the kills with the Sniper Rifle, not any other weapon.

Note: This is a reference to the Meet The Sniper video produced by Valve. The particular phrase that this achievement is derived from is at the very end of the video. You can download the full HD version of Meet The Sniper right here on Big Download!

Be Polite

Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you doffing your hat.

This one may be hard to do in normal play, as the Sniper politeness taunt is the Kukri taunt. In other words, you either have to be extremely fast in switching weapons after a headshot, or you must kill your enemy with the Kukri. Perhaps the easiest way to get this achievement is to fight off a Spy with your Kukri and then taunt once you win. If you do not win... well, that's your problem, now isn't it?

To farm this one, have a friend let you kill them with the Kukri. Then taunt! As long as you are doffing your hate once the freezecam triggers, you will get the achievement. No picture-taking required. As is, this achievement is best farmed alongside Kook the Spook, as that particular achievement requires multiple Kukri kills on spies. So have your friend be a Spy, and kill them a bunch! Easy as pie.

Note: Much like the previous achievement, this one is another reference to the Meet The Sniper video. It is the beginning of the last phrase of the video, and is followed by Be Efficient. You can download the full HD version of Meet The Sniper right here on Big Download!

Beaux and Arrows

Kill a Heavy & Medic pair with the bow.

To get this achievement, you must obviously have the Huntsman unlocked. That being said, this is one of the harder achievements, especially given the power of a Heavy & Medic pair and the relative weakness of the Huntsman at a long range. To do this, your best bet is to somehow get behind the pair and take them out with several quick arrow shots, preferably to the head. If the Heavy realizes what you have done, though, chances are you will be killed quickly.

The farm for this, while easy, is much like the normal method. Simply have two friends, one as a Medic healing the other as a Heavy, stand near you while you have the Huntsman. Then launch some arrows into them. Due to the continual healing from the Medic, this is a good achievement to farm alongside Pincushion, as you can stick three arrows in the Heavy before killing him, after all.

Note: While Valve has used puns before, this is perhaps one of the most groan-inducing achievements we have ever seen. For those not in the know, Beaux is pronounced "bow". Feel free to weep at the horrible nature of this pun. It's only natural.

Consolation Prize

Get backstabbed 50 times.

This is perhaps the only achievement in the game that actually rewards you for being terrible. As a Sniper, an enemy Spy will be likely to target you a lot of the time. Rather than kill him, simply let him backstab you. Once you have been so bad to have been backstabbed 50 times, you will get the achievement. You don't even need to farm. Just play as a Sniper with no awareness of your surrounding. You'll get it plenty fast enough. In the meantime, it's time to go drink heavily.
