Is the "Purge the Heretic" achievement proof of a good player?
Just want your honest opinion. The achievement is for "killing a total of 40k enemies". Only .58% of gamers have this unlocked. So that is half of 1% of the community. Assuming this player played 100 hours so far and mostly plays on HERESY and DAMNATION difficulty.

Personally I'd say no. Number of kills doesn't necessarily translate to being good. You can spend 1,000 hrs only playing on Heresy, get that achievement, and still struggle on anything Damnation or higher.

Total kills also says nothing about much more important skills, like their overall teamwork, situational awareness, melee skill, etc. It's easy to use an overpowered range build and melt enemies. Doesn't mean they can hold their own once they're out of ammo or play well with others.

What are you talking about?
Steam achievement stats show 13.1 % have that achievement. The rares one is Flawless Execution at 2.5 %.

I have it and im not that good, so no?

No.

Number of kills means nothing other than they've played x number of missions.

OP you confused there something pretty badly with something else.
That achivement is already aquired by 13% of the playerbase

And no, no achivement which requires only a certain amound of playtime could ever be an indicator of skill. That only shows how much a player is playing.

Pick whichever frame you think looks nice and let your actions speak for your skill.

ok this is an xbox achievement so maybe that speaks more about the console community vs the steam community.

None of them prove you are good at the game most you can earn by luck or having other carry you. I would say the old psyker one might count since you had to kill a level 5 beast of Nurgle with just Brain burst SOLO now i think its 90%.

I have the achievement.
I play heresy - damnation only.

I'm not a good player.

So no, it's not proof.

Considering that the game has only recently been released on consoles, it likely just means they haven't played long enough yet.
