Anyone else had issues trying to get the "Homerun" acheievement?

[TonyTurbo78]

I just can't seem to unlock this bleeding cheeve. I must have run around the bases 20 times in Diamond City but nothing unlocks. I've watched videos to make sure I'm doing it right, I can't see any difference in what I'm doing compared to others, but nothing.

Anyone else had issues, any tips on unlocking it?

Did you start at home base?

Start at home, run clockwise, make sure you literally step on every base... if it doesn't unlock the achievement, something's busted (or you've modded survival mode and not added the mod that re-enables achievements).

My game is heavily modded but I'm using the achievement enabler and I'm getting other achievements just fine. And mfree, you run anti-clockwise not clockwise

Yes I started at homebase and ran to the bases in order.

got it ok. (vanilla, no cons. no mods).

I didn't realize that running the bases was an achievement, and got it accidentally after running around them a few times. Touch all of the bases, and don't let go of the movement key the entire time. I did it multiple times because I kept getting blocked by guards or kids, and I wanted to get it right. It unlocked when I was able to run straight through without stopping.

Derp. Yes, anti-clockwise. *boggled at myself*

That's a "Touchdown", and you need *not* to survive.

Funny story, I was checking my achievement list not long ago was was surprised to find I hadn't gotten that one, and in the interest of completion set out to do so.

Fast travel to the medical center, immediately greeted by one (which was odd in and of itself) suicider, stood by and said "Come to Papa!"

BOOM. Dammit! I'd survived. Handily, at that, but slightly crippled. Reload (I'd quicksaved right before, just in case). Try again, a little closer: Still alive!

Shouldn't have tried it at level 124, I suppose. Reload, spend a few minutes having a personal molotov party just outside detection range, go back for the meet'n'greet....

.....BOOM achievement unlocked! Back to the game I go.

shouldnt be, all other achievements are working just fine with the achievement enabler mod, everything is unlocking when it should apart from the Homerun cheeve.

Shoot every gaurd as you run the bases and it will unlock for you np.

oh ok ;)

[mfree]

I wonder if you actually have to get the recommendation from the guard or one of the kids before running the bases for the achievement...

hmmm not a bad shout that. Will have a chat with some town folk :)
