Introduction
For a game almost completely focused for online play, this game has surprisingly simple achievements. It would be harder to do legit so the suggestion way to complete the game is through use of boosting. The hardest achievement is Elusive which deals with The Scramble Blitz Mode, which if done with friends should not be much of a problem.
Step 1: Blitz Mode
The first thing you should focus on is playing the “Blitz” mode. In Blitz mode you pick a class to control, set up turrets, and try to keep robots from destroying your money ball. Of course you're also destroying the robots along with your turrets. It can get kind of hard trying to upgrade all the turrets while trying to destroy the oncoming force, especially in later Blitz modes, so it's best to do these with at least one other person either locally or via Xbox Live. The order you should do these in are as followed.
- Exhibition Blitz
- Season Blitz
- Playoff Blitz
- The Scramble
Step 2: Crossfire Mode
Next you should focus on the “Crossfire” mode. This is a mode in which you fight against other human players along with the turrets. Basically it's up to 6 v 6 humans, building up turrets around their money ball, and then fighting it out to try and get their robots to the enemies money ball and destroy it. These achievements will not depend on which class you play and can be done with any of the classes.
- Sacker
- Hotstreak
- MVP
- Caught'em Nappin'
- 3-Fer
You can also get “Outta My House!” and “Grappler” with any class, but there are specific classes that will be recommended to do these achievements with, which will be explained in the next step.
Step 3: Achievements that can be done in any mode
The following Achievements are also obtainable in “Crossfire” mode but you can or need a specific character to do them with.
- Outta My House!
- Grappler
- Flapjack Master
Outta My House!, should be done with a Tank class via the Rush () move he has. Grappler can be done with the Assassin, as it's easiest to use her invisibility (the move) and come up behind an opponent and use to grab them. Finally Flapjack Master must be done with the Gunner's Ground Slam move. In order to get this you must have an opponent with low health, jump at them from above, then use the Ground Slam (the move).
Conclusion
Overall these achievements are simple and the game completion can be earned fast if boosting. The Blitz mode will help give you a feel for the game and some practice, and then from there online play should feel comfortable. The game is fun and worth the 200 points you will earn for completing it.
