Today, Valve released the list of Spy achievements. While I have yet to find a good source on what each achivement is for, the name and picture is a pretty good indicator. Looking at that list, I couldn’t help but wonder which ones I would already have if Valve retroactively gave achivements…
Here is my thoughts on what I would have…
On Her Majesty’s Secret Surface: Looks like capturing a point is all it takes to get this achievement, something I’ve certainly done.
Spies Like Us: This one seems oddly easy, but it looks like disguising as an enemy spy is all it takes.
The Man with the Broken Guns: I suspect this is for sapping a sentry and backstabbing the engineer repairing it three times.
You Only Shiv Thrice: Looks like three backstabs in under 30 seconds – my best was 5 on cp_fastlane – a medic and four snipers.
Come in From the Cold: Backstab a heavy who is dominating you… lookin at you, RottenFish.
Constructus Interruptus: Backstab an engineer while he is repairing/building a sentry – definitely done that one a few times.
Counter Espionage: Backstab an enemy spy who is in disguise. Spies – disguise as friendlies while moving towards the front lines. When I’m behind enemy lines and see an “ally” moving towards the front, I chase that spy down and put him out of my misery.
Dr. Nooooo: Backstab a medic while he has an ubercharge ready to deploy. This one is a personal favorite of mine.
Joint Operation: Work with another spy to get two backstabs in under 3 seconds.
So… if I am right on what these achievements are, I think I would have at least 9 achievements.
Also, while looking at these achievement icons, I couldn’t help but notice these two:
Is that a shooting range target? Is the alternate spy knife a throwing knife? Maybe it will have a 10 second recharge, like Mr. Sandman…
