What is the Hardest Achievement in TF2?

TF2 is the game that achievement hunters dread. With 520 achievements to its name, some for hyper-specific modes or scenarios, you *really* have to try for them if you want to get them all. But after getting bored and farming for some achievements I didn't have yet, I realized something: TF2 has some really brutal ones. This video looks at some of the potentially hardest achievements in the game and why they're hard. As always, let me know if you want to see more stuff like this!

Also, as mentioned, I found some really creative ways to earn certain achievements super quickly. If nothing like that exists yet, I'd totally be down to making it happen.

I'm glad I got the 100, 000 views video achievement while it was possible. I wish Valve didn't completely give up on the Replay Editor, it was actually pretty fun to mess around with.

I find it really funny that the rarest achievement is a really simple PASS time achievement, and the one above it that is slightly more common is the one where you have to do a really specific digital ritual to tune an interdimensional wizard television.

That's how little people play PASS time.

The rock paper scissors achievements should be a 1/216 chance (6^-3) because the taunt cannot tie. Slightly easier, but it wouldn't make much difference.

When I first heard that 10 rounds of passtime was the least gotten achievement, I immediately started grinding for it, and along the way, I found a server willing to get the tune merasmus' tv achievement

[retonman]

There should be an achievement for getting a godlike with a syringe gun as medic called something along the lines of “hypocrite”

I would personally say the Merasmus TV one is the easiest to cheese because you can actually find a list of console commands to spawn bots to easily do it. It is literally as easy as ctrl C, ctrl V.

I accidentally got the "Full Spectrum Warrior" achievement once when I pressed 'G' when everyone was dancing but instead did the Rainblower stock taunt.

13:32 imagine seeing the enemy medic get launched across the map right to your team, kill your engineer, and get away with it

The prime cuts achievement was so painful to get, I did maybe 50-60 casual games trying to get it, and the one time I did get it was because the last class I needed to gib jumped in front of me at the last second.

[ellismcgruber]

The force-a-nature's knock back also counts as a stun now (the slow effect it applies) so for a short window it can also get you foul territory, though its also pretty inconsistent. Only know this because I got it launching someone into a sawmill on sawmill.

As someone who genuinely enjoyed playing passtime, getting Merasmus's Multi-Dimensional achievement with a lobby full of random players who followed some guy who had the guide was a neat experince. And while it has been awhile since I played the gamemode, I belive that the already low populated servers became ghost towns when bots started to flood into them preventing anyone from playing the gamemode, which is a real shame because it really is an interesting TF2 experince

I will never forget doing 9, 969 healing in one life as medic. That death took a part of my soul with it :')

[rougenarwhal]

I find it incredibly interesting that more people have gotten 100k views on a replay upload for a broken achievment than people have played 10 games of pass time

[DelphanGruss]

As an addendum, not all the achievements that are 'hard' are really obvious. In MvM for example, the 'Spam Blocker' achievement - (Spam Blocker: During a wave, defend the hatch 10 times from robots about to deliver a bomb) is obscenely circumstantial and difficult for the specific string of things that need to happen for it to be earned. You need to have a team that's bad enough to be pushed all the way to last, but also good enough to actually HOLD the hatch - you need the bots to be able to reach the hatch to begin the 'deploy' animation without getting killed - and you need to actually be able to kill them without being overwhelmed yourself.

I only have 5 achievements left in TF2, and this is one of them, because 99% of teams never let the bots even get past the first gate, let alone get all the way to the end.

It was a such a memoriable experience when I got "Tune Merasmus's Multi-Dimensional Television" without cheating!
I was playing Pass Time back in 2017 when a player joined and started organizing the whole act, I was just following along without knowing what it requires. When the secret door opened I was so amazed, and when we finally stood on the correct dirt pile and the video played, it was a wonderful feeling and everyone there cheered!

I Miss the time when I still play TF2, wondering if I will find experiences like this in any other game...

[Real_RUBBR]

13:32 Can we talk about this? Imagine being that Engie just seeing a Medic flying at you at the beginning of the game lmao

[sevendeadlysquids]

I always equip the balloonicorn (except for on Halloween) just for people that may need the achievement lol

[drucy.]

Palace-Aid, Get Off My Lawn and Frags To Riches are not difficult if your MvM team know what they're doing.
Metal Massacre and just naturally rolls in just by you playing MvM a lot.

“Around an hour of continuous rock paper scissoring”
That sounds like a not-so-subtle innuendo.

3:02 This achievement is quite easily done with the Force-A-Nature. It inflicts a slowed state which counts towards the achievement, and the gun is notorious for its knockback. That's why 9.3% of players have it, and not 0.1%.
