Easily get "Road Hazard"
Originalmente postado por Insurgency Sandstorm:
Destroy an enemy vehicle with a mine
  1. Play co-op checkpoint security summit
  2. Equip at least 2 landmines
  3. At final objective H a truck will spawn down the street & around the corner
    (see reference image below *REFERENCE IMAGE WAS DELETED - I will replace it ASAP!)
  4. You must plant a mine in each lane at the corner of the street before the truck spawns!
    (Truck will spawn shortly after Objective H is taken and 'DEFEND' begins)
  5. Return to H to defend and once the truck spawns it will trigger the mines as it travels to the objective
This should be the easiest map to farm this achievement because it's the only time you can plant mines before the truck enters line-of-sight of the objective or your team, meaning nobody should be able to blow it up before your mines catch it. If it spawns it has a 100% chance of hitting the mines.


You should get the achievement the moment the truck explodes.
Three ways to get "J.R. 50"
Originalmente postado por Insurgency Sandstorm:
Kill an enemy driver with the mounted weapon of their vehicle

This is one of the hardest achievements to get, it's also the rarest. It's hard to unlock on co-op because enemy NPC drivers will always exit the vehicle once they see you and in PVP players simply do not use trucks much at all.

Method 1, bait the enemy to drive your truck:
  1. Play PVP Push (one team will usually spawn with a truck)
  2. Equip gas mask, a silenced primary and as many smoke grenades/launcher ammo as possible
  3. Set up a truck ambush - position your team's truck out of reach of the main road/conflict. Be stealthy!
  4. Make sure it's easy for the enemy to get the driver's seat and steal the truck, but also so that you can jump in the gunner seat quickly once it happens
  5. Be stealthy but attract the enemy to the truck. Smokes can help
  6. When an enemy jumps in the drivers seat, jump in the gunner and shoot the driver

Method 2, ask the enemy to help in PVP Push
You could try asking the enemy to help you with the achievement. Players will often grief you so this can be difficult to do unless you're in a small lobby. This is the method in which I unlocked the achievement, I was lucky with a small lobby and once people were goofing off I thought to ask, and everyone got it!

Method 3, do it with a friend on an empty server
See GIGA's guide about farming this achievement on co-op checkpoint security/Refinery. However, considering this method has to be done in a server with at least one other player, you may as well do 1v1 PUSH with a friend on an empty server and help each other with the achievement.

The achievement unlocks the moment you kill the driver.
How to get "Designated Driver"

Originalmente postado por Insurgency Sandstorm:
Drive a Vehicle Full of Squadmates for more than 15 seconds

I've decided to add this achievement after publishing the guide because it's legitimately the hardest achievement to get.

In the past, this was easy to unlock in co-op mode because you spawned with a truck (they need to bring this back!) so you could easily ask your co-op team to jump in just as the match started and they gladly would.

Now you will either have to capture an enemy truck on co-op or you'll have to convince a party in PVP Push mode to jump in. Even when you get a car full of players it's challenging to get credit for the achievement for a number of reasons (15 seconds is actually a long time with the map design; players will jump out after 5 sec, enemy will blow up the truck before 15s etc). So here's the best way to tackle it:

Co-op Method: (Easier)
  1. Play co-op Checkpoint (refinery is easiest because there's an early enemy truck)
  2. Wait to encounter a truck and ask your team to keep it alive for your achievement (it helps if you're demo so nobody can 1 shot it)
  3. Once the encounter is clear of hostiles and it's time to get to the next checkpoint, ask your team to help you with the 'School-bus achievement', make sure your truck is 100% full for the duration, and drive them slowly in circles for 16 seconds. You will need consistent forward movement for the duration of the achievement.
Co-op is easiest for a number of factors, especially because it's easier to convince your team to jump in a truck and it's easier to keep the truck alive for the whole 15 seconds - however it's much harder to acquire the truck compared to PVP Push. PVP is technically harder because most maps simply do not give you enough room to drive forward for more than 15 seconds before you would encounter the enemy and get blown up, even if you drive as slow as possible, and at least 1 player will almost always jump out.

PVP Method: (Harder)
  1. Play PVP Push
  2. One team will spawn with Truck.
  3. When you spawn with Truck, ask your team to help with the 'school-bus achievement' and let them know you need a full truck for 15 seconds and that you have no intention of getting everyone killed...
  4. When your truck is full of volunteers, ask them to keep their hands and feet inside the bus at all times for their safety, until you've got the achievement of course!
  5. Drive the vehicle as slowly as possible - do not approach the enemy LOS too fast or you'll get the truck blown up, and also remember you need ~16 seconds of consistent forward movement
  6. Once the achievement unlocks, tell your students that it's time for school! (Accelerate at full speed into the objective and start honking. They knew what they signed up for when they got on the bus!)

The achievement unlocks after 15 seconds of forward movement while driving a truck full of friendly players.

If you need it, shoot me a pm/friend req! I'll be happy to be a passenger.

Kill an enemy while vaulting

I've noticed a lot of comments around the internet that claim this achievement is hard to get, however it can be very easy to farm this on co-op
  1. Play any co-op mode
  2. Equip any full auto weapon with a drum mag & red dot
  3. Set up an ambush - position yourself behind a window or other low-height vault-able object
  4. Make sure you're in the path of enemy AI. Position yourself between their current spawn and the objective.
  5. When you see an enemy start to get very close, vault over your object and hold left click.
  6. Aiming can be hard and there is a delay before the first round goes out, but a fast rate-of-fire gun with a red laser can help.
The achievement unlocks the moment you kill an enemy while in the process of vaulting.

Boris Viandox 27 dez. 2023 às 8:07 
i think i got all in the reflex by failing to throw my nade , picking it up and failing again

blowing up to my own grenades triggered the achievement (needs verification but im pretty sure)
Lucius Artorius Castus 20 mar. 2023 às 16:43 
you can also get cinematic by throwing a grenade then vaulting at the time the grenade explodes and kills someone
