M14 achievement impossible?

[tehmadcap]

I don't know if it was the last patch or if it has always been this way.. The M14's red dot accuracy is terrible and unless you can somehow compensate for the random spray, getting a headshot 25 times in a row is pretty much impossible.


Has anyone been able to get this achievement post-patch? Maybe the M14 needs an accuracy buff ;\

random spray,

Protip: Aim. Don't spray, take your time. You should be able to afford the M14 by wave 2-3, 4 if you're bad.

Just go around with the laser on, but with one exception.

Spoiler!

Use the iron sights

That should help.

I got it on a Poundamonium server back in the day.

Same.

I was going around when i was like:

"I know, i'll use the M14 and go for the achievement for teh lulz"

I got it, by aiming like a sharpshooter should.


Don't you just love it when the game's easy mode because you're that good?
And alternately hate it when someone "cheats" to god mode?

Hey candlejack I believe I've seen you in game ;D


No I don't mean that, I'm talking about the bullet deviation while using red dot. I tried aiming at a wall on solo and the bullet hole always seems to match up but in game I'll have the red dot on their heads but it only results in a headshot 4/5 times (or something like that)


I'm level 6 sharpshooter and I'm doing it on beginner so the damage dealt shouldnt be the problem.. Guess I'll try with iron sights but i assumed it had to be red dot only

also, I know it will be mentioned, Dignity of the Dead seems to remain bugged.

Sadly. *Is stuck on 8* That's an improvement though! It was on 6 a couple weeks ago. ^______________^

Is it bugged for everyone?

 

[tehmadcap]

Hmm.... Not sure if my replies are ever going to be approved but I can free post now so.. what I was going to say was my aiming isn't the problem, I have the red dot on their heads every time but it doesn't always give a headshot.

Even when I told someone I was trying to get the achievement he was lol'ing at me cause he could see my laser on their heads but the bullet hits their chest like 1 out of ever 5 times.

near-identical thread mentioning these 2 achievements.
thanks for getting my questions answered at last - i must have expressed myself in a confusing manner.

 

[tehmadcap]

omg I'm still being moderated on this thread only. Gaaaarrrghhhh so annoying!

 

[tehmadcap]

Oh finally a post gets through.

 

[Zaku212]

I dunno hoe you're managing to not get this.. i got it without even knowing there was an acheivement for it...

 

[Compass]

Have not gotten it while trying, and people can attest to my aim with the sharpshooter weapons as a whole...

 

[Deafmute]

I will never get this achievement due to the fact that I am morally opposed to using the M14.

 

[Nekomancer]

I suck at aiming, that's why i use Commando and spam my rifles. I'm a lot more effective that way. I suck at everything that is comparable to sniping.

Make sure you are playing a whitelisted maps and no mutators

Well after over 30 red dot headshots in a row last night on a whitelisted server i got annoyed and gave up.
There must be something wrong with it.
Has anyone got it since the m14 got a reduced ammo capacity?

Also tried dignity for the dead with some help, i did manage to get my total up from 5 to 6, despite blowing up at least 10 clots that had dropped to the floor to eat, as well as crawlers, over various attempts.
So there's problems here too, although it appears that now and then you get credited with a kill.
