Is the Swing Dancing Achievement Bugged?

[Sup3rNo7a]

Perhaps I am wrong, but the Swing Dancing Achievement (the one where you have to 'complete any single day of a heist killing at least 50 enemies with your melee weapon') seems to be bugged. I have tried multiple times to get this achievement, on both single and multiple day jobs, but it never unlocks.

I am using HoxHud if that is somehow preventing it from unlocking (though I have its anti-cheat disabled because of how unstable it makes the game sometimes).

Because I am using HoxHud, however, I know for certain that I am killing at least 50 enemies with my melee weapon thanks to its kill-counter (specifically tracks melee kills in the Tab screen), and I know its not an issue of me not actually getting the kill due to lag or something because I am attempting it solo in Offline mode.

You have to kill them with melee only. If you kill one with a primary or secondary weapon, no achievement. Hoxhud is no problem.

Oh, wait, so I'm not allowed ANY kills with anything other than melee?

I thought it meant that I was only needing to kill at least 50 with melee, an any other kills just didn't count towards that number. I wasn't aware that any other kills in addition to the 50 melee ones nullified the achievement.

You cannot even fire a shot in the air to alert civs or fire a shot to break a window. Any shot fired will null it. However bots can kill cops, and I guess other players can as well ;-)

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. :)

Would be nice to see that made a bit clearer in the actual Achievement's description at some point, though. The "no firing a shot" thing is a pretty big/specific restriction that is only barely even vaguely hinted at, lol.

[grishenko [NOR]]

"using only your melee weapon" is Overkill's way of hinting :-)

[Sup3rNo7a]

My point exactly. :)
