Sorry if this seems like a noob question. I've never achieved merry men even when i used xbow to kill the patriach a few times.
How to get perk "Merry men"?

Well, if you read the description under the achievement...
"Kill the Patriarch when everyone is ONLY using Crossbows."
So there's your issue, you have to convince your whole team to use NOTHING BUT the X-bow. Not even a 9mm can be fired or it will screw up the achievement.
Happy Hunting!
Oh, the title of the achievement takes its name from Robin Hood, if you weren't already aware. I understand what they we're going for - but it's interesting that I don't recall anyone using a cross-bow except for an assassin in the original story. Also, Little John uses a quarter staff, so maybe he is the berzerk?

This, I probably had the easiest time getting the Merry Men achievement when I wasn't even trying.
Solo it is pretty much the only sure way. Some yahoo always wants to throw a grenade and use a pistol.
Took me several tries to get it because even in games where everyone did use only xbows, KF wouldn't give me the perk. I finally managed to get it when one game everyone used xbows and I got the kill shot, which suggested to me that you had to be the one to kill him and he only took damage from xbows. Best way to do this... like said above, solo. I can't say for sure that you have to be the one to kill him, but like I said, I tried several times and didn't get the achievement until I killed him.
I've made it a policy on my server, that if someone requests to use xbows only on the patriarch, the entire team will comply, or I will beat them down with my katana.
I've made a LOT of beat down TKs lately...
I'm pretty sure it only counts if you get the killing shot, I ended up being the only one who got it when my group tried. Funny, I was the only one who didn't care.
When you don't care, Murphy's Laws will never affect you.
When you do care, **** will be poured.
So what? the achievement name is a joke, a reference and it makes sense. What's next? Is some douchebag going to comment on The achievement "The L.a.w. That Broke The Camel's Back"
"You will all probably find it very interesting to know that despite the achievements name. The Patriarch is not a camel. Nor does he possess any camel like features *Sagenod*"
What crawled up your nose and turned you into king jerk-face?
It was an aside, no need to tear me down.
(PS - Dear mod, Can I have my 'junior member' title changed to 'some douchebag'? This is a serious request.)
