Achievement "Here Comes the Pain Train" does not unlock

[AncientEldar]

The achievement text for "Here Comes the Pain Train" says:
"In the Firestarter job, complete the heist on OVERKILL difficulty or above, with all days done in loud and with a crew of 4 players all using unmodified "AK Rifle" rifles and "PARA" submachine guns."

I have completed these requirements with a group of 4 human players, on 3 separate occassions, but the achievement was not unlocked.

Before starting the first attempt, we made sure that we were using the correct guns (double-checked the gun names and the gun icons with the wiki), and that none of us had any mods on them. We have completed the 3 days of Firestarter in loud (secured the weapons instead of destroying them, on day 1), but I did not get the achievement.

For the second attempt, we figured that we should fire our weapons in the very beginning of each day, in case we accidentally did some objectives in stealth in one of the days of the first attempt. Again, we double-checked the weapons were the correct ones, and had no mods and started each day by firing the weapons and waiting for the alarm before proceeding. At the end, I still did not get the achievement.

For the third attempt, we decided to only use the two guns to kill NPCs (no melee, no grenades, no turrets etc.). Double-checked the weapons to match the achievement requirements, waited for the alarm to start before doing objectives and completed all the 3 days in stealth, with no achievement.


It looks like the achievement is either bugged and no longer obtainable, or it has some additional requirements that we are not aware of.

Why don't the devs hotfix it, then?

You have to ask them but in my opinion. Overkill is Overkill. Desync fixed used like 3 years? To fix it so if this is not an important issue. They may be not interested in fixing it in a short time.

Could you post a link to an official statement by Overkill that confirms that they really DO know about this issue, please? I was not able to find anything that says this is a known issue.

I found an old thread about this same achievement being broken because the AK Rifle was causing people's games/lobbies to crash upon equipping, but it sounds like that one got fixed. The reason why the achievement is broken currently, or the fact that it is broken does not appear to be known by Overkill.

Were tripmines used to attack and/or kill cops? What about sentry guns? Are Jokers also part of the problem?

…You never know, nor do I.


Make sure your team is using AK Rifles, "AK Rifle", not the variants! (Seriously, I have literally nothing against calling people inbred or horrible at reading for reasons like this one.)

I already stated in the original post that in the third attempt we used nothing but the two guns to kill cops. Tripmines, sentry guns, or jokers were not used, and could not have been the reason why the achievement did not unlock.

Interesting, then it seems there are problems with the new parts for the PARA submachine gun as Sylvana Windrunners says here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/218620/discussions/11/1621724915799657588/#c1621724915814790595

Marked BreakingBenny's reply as the answer for this topic since it most clearly describes what the underlying issue is.

I read Sylvanas Windrunner's post earlier today, as well as this other thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/218620/discussions/14/1621724915773863951/#c1621724915774071122

It sounds like they updated the default bolt for the PARA Submachine Gun without properly marking it as the new default bolt. It is a bit worrisome that this issue is not on the "Confirmed Bugs" list in the pinned bug thread, but it looks like several forum moderators and Payday 2 Official Group Officers are aware of it. Hopefully the developers will hear about it, soon.


This thread should be closed.
