Cake achievements: Xmas/time limited?

[Steg]

Are the Cake achievements (Piece of, Pound, Fruit, Devil) part of the Xmas achievement set that will no longer be available after Jan 4th? What about beating Evil Santa's Lair on N/H/S/HoE? They don't rely on having Xmas specimens, but they're holiday themed.

They were added with the Xmas update, but since the maps will continue to be (and have always been) playable, you will still be able to unlock their achievements.

Edit: Just noticed the second part of the question. I don't know if Santa's Lair will continue to be available on the rotation or not after the patch, but if it is, then I would guess you could still unlock the map-based achievements.

It will still be there but I can imagine them de-christmas-ing and making it into a factory.

Will the map achievements still be around is what you're asking?

I too would like to know.

i dont know why twi doesnt make the xmas zeds only appears for the santas lair so when this xmas thing is over people can still get those achivs playing on this map and only in this map LOL

What I can see happening, is TWI releasing the Christmas specimens as a mutator for us to use after when they change it back, which then you are free to gain the achivements yourself.

Even though they said we wont be able to unlock xmas achievements after January 4th? I find that hard to believe.
Map achievements, might be different.

They said that they're not gonna make a mutator themselves. They're going to allow the community to make one, but they refuse to whitelist it. (Of course, you can still use the crimbo mut in combination with the level 6 perk selector, though)

The timed achievements, to unlock Baddest Santa, along with the xmas zeds will disappear after 4th January. The Xmas map stays as is.

But which ones are timed. Only the list of 10, or the list of 10 + 4 map achievements?

 

[Gregs2k2]

The Christmas specific ones are timed, as 10 of the 13 + finishing Evil Santa's Lair map on Normal upwards are required to unlock Baddest Santa. So xmas chevo's and zeds are all timed. The other map achievements aren't timed. I think you can still unlock beating the Santa's map achievements after the 4th, but don't quote me on that.

Haha, damn; that's exactly what I wanted to know too.

Posted this in the 2nd page of the thread


The Christmas level will stick around always. The Christmas zeds will go away though. And you can only earn the Christmas achievements during the event. But you will get to keep the bad santa character. And the TF2 guys stick around as well.

Sorry for the weird way I'm posting but I'm doing all this using Safari on an iPhone lol
