Dot of Doom

[comaryu]

Another easier way of getting DoD is having a friend to fill the role of being a mop up.
Taking out gores that are raged which are in too close, crawlers and husks that are in the long range screwing up your momentum with constant hadoukens while you're taking on easier zeds.

Did mine's on farm suicidal, the darker maps makes it easier to use the laser sight, well atleast for me it is, Moreover it's a big and open map, so kiting is pretty easy.

Found Sharpie + commando duo pretty effective, we were playing the roaming game, mando taking out stalkers,crawlers and covered my back while i kited backwards popping them heads.

Ya can always do it on lower difficulty, zeds have less movement speed + the clot ratio is much higher ( at least i think so) which shouldn't be a problem if u can hip shoot comfortably, and YES, if you kill 10 in one wave and 15 in another, it counts.

Its all trial and error, in time you will get it, its not impossible, at least not as impossible compared to Dignity for the Dead acheivement

maybe they have to be one shot kills?

I think so yes, the reason why I think so: your Sharpshooter headshot-counter increases just by headshot kills too. Still I could be mistaking.

and if it didn't, then you just found the bug

I don't think it's a bug if something doesn't die instantly when you hit it in the head but there are so many obvious bugs in the game. I mention 2 which are annoying me most: Of course the grenade bug (you see the nade fly away and suddenly it explodes under your feet) 2. The ammo bug you have a full loaded 9mm pistol (15magz) and accidently you pick an other 9mm up (useless) so you drop it result = you have only 3 magazins left.

He meant bug as in him not getting the achieve in the video. Thing is, he probably already had it.

it just has to be 25 recorded "headshots" in a row. TW confirmed a long time ago around the levelup or heavy metal update that a headshot will still be recorded as such regardless of whether or not it's a decap or insta-kill. so for that "2 shot" on the husk, that should have recorded as two headshots and not broken the streak. unfortunately we don't know for certainty as the guy in the video could have already gotten the achievement......but at least the video shows it's actually not as difficult as people think to get 25 straight headshots without using a "help" like the clotted mutators

 

[Evilsod]

actually no......it's 25 consecutive headshots without missing. if you completely miss with a shot, the chain is broken. if you shoot a clot in the foot, the chain is broken. in order for it to trigger you have to land 25 headshots in a row with no bodyshots or missed shots. perhaps that's why people think it's bugged? as for "decaps" it's my understanding that any hit to the head will record as a "headshot" regardless of whether or not the head is removed on the first hit. although, i'm pretty certain that any EBR headshot to any the weaker zeds will get an instant decap due to the power of the weapon.

And have you actually tested that? Because i can tell you 100% for certain that bodyshots have absolutely zero effect on the chain. If you shoot a Clot in the foot and kill it, you break the chain, if you shoot a Clot in the foot and it survives, it doesn't do anything. Whether you miss i couldn't say whether it resets it or not but hitting it without killing it did nothing.

unfortuntely i've not done it myself.......reason being i was already bumped to a level6 SS when the achievement became available. i tried to get the achievement one time, got 25 consecutive headshots and got it. however i've had friends tell me that when they were trying it, they counted the shots, hit a husk in the chest and it wasn't killed, and the streak was broken. no offense but i trust them more, although they could be wrong. the way it reads is "headshots". a bodyshot is not a headshot, therefore if you read the details literally, any bodyshot would end the streak.

Hello lads,

I don't get it: Is Dot of Doom officially bugged (confirmed by the Devs) - or not???

In this thread some of you state they got it after 25 consecutive headshots or even 25 headshots with some misses in between, but that WON'T work for either me nor for my mate who tested it with me.

We got on a long game on farm, and tested this in wave 2. Killed all zeds except clots, and killed the remaining 30 clots with 30 consecutive headshots (decapitate). We've already done more than 10 positive rounds as of now, but we both DID NOT EVER get the achievement.

Tried it with/without SS perk...
Tried it with/without shooting through the iron sight / from hip...
Tried it on normal and hard...

So, can anyone CONFIRM FOR SURE that he got the achievement within the last couple of months???

I personally don't think so.

 

[Compass]

Still haven't got it either...

 

[CandleJack]

I remember i was playing as Sharpie on a beginner FP-only server, and i got the achievement "legit".

It just takes consistent headshot kills to pull this off.

 

[Sammers]

If you're playing this on a low-end PC, or in my case, a laptop, the laser sight is way too slow/laggy to use properly. This achievement for me is IMPOSSIBLE.

second here.

With the bonus that I almost never use the m14, whihc makes the chances of an accidental acheivement 0.

 

[Zeron]

The m14 through my experience is actually pretty terrible if you aren't headshotting on suicidal. All difficulties below it owns pretty hard with bodyshots, but for some reason it's not that great on suicidal.

I'd never get this achievement just because i never use the m14 enough. I much prefer a Xbow/HC/9mm combo when i play as SS.
