Tech Wrecker and Sly Voltage seem to be unobtainable (Sly Voltage obtained)

[Datlossit (Inactive, check bio)]

Might be just me but i am unable to earn these two achievements although i have sapped/blown up more then ten robots. I did send a bug report to Valve months ago about it. I am just wondering if anyone else is having this issue, i like getting achievements myself.

It's possible to get the Tech Wrecker achieve, but you need 14 ScotRes crit stickies detonated simultaneously while half of the entire saw stands on them. This is obviously an over-exaggeration, but it is still extremely hard.

Both are pretty easy to obtain. For Sly Voltage, stand at a corner disguised and let the bots pile up for a few seconds, then sap them (make sure team isn't visible to the bots or they will try to shoot through you).

As for Tech Wrecker, again, focus on trapping choke points. Maps like Mannworks, where you have baddies spawn on both sides then all move to a single side are good. Another technique is to have a spy sap a group (or scout milk a group) and wait for the group behind them to catch up to the milked/sapped group. Also, I would recommend using stock with crits and not scottish. That way there's no doubt that the damage was done in one detonation.

the place i got both achievement is on wave 6/8 on bone shaker where there's 10 medic + pyros which you can sap or explode all of them at once. (they come in a horde if you manage to keep the cave.

You guys are not listening or did not bother to read. I said i have sapped more then ten robots/blown up more then ten robots in a single detonation many times before but i did not earn the achievements, which is why i reported it as a bug to Valve.

local file not syn with valve files? or something like that?

Thw only unobtainable achievement is Frags to Riches (bugged).

So what happens then if you cannot get certain acheivements? I cannot get the acheievement where you play with 5 friends, which I pretty much always do.

So I'm not the only one having this problem, thank Gaben. I play Demo a lot in MvM and I have definitely blown up more than 10 robots at once with my traps and have not gotten the achievement. I have this problem with the Demoman's 1 000 000 explosive damage chievement too. Quite ironic that one of the classes that I love to play most has the most bugged ahcievements for me.

As for Sly Voltage: I don't play MvM Spy much, so I can't really speak for it.

Frags to Riches is not bugged. Works just fine. And make sure you are using STOCK sapper for sly voltage. As far as frags to riches goes do some searching on the forums. You'll find out how to do it. I won't explain it to anyone again.

[Dr. Neurohax]

I should have added that I THOUGHT I had gotten the achievement many times before. The date I got them was well into my MvM 'career', and at least the demo one I remember thinking, "How did I not get that yet?".

As Sleepy Panda recommended, try wave 6/8 on Bone Shaker in Mecha Engie. Make sure the team holds the cave the entire time. At the very end, 11 pyros each with a medic come out all at once. Disperse your stickies, have full damage upgraded on them (crits is you wanna be extra-sure), and you should easily get the achievement. You could also try to reduce the variables that might be causing the bug - use stock instead of Scottish Resistance, try with and without crits, etc. I do think that there are some requirements that aren't stated in the achievement descriptions and that they can be bugged sometimes. The problem is that if they're bugged just for you, it is unlikely a widespread issue Valve will do anything about.

I have heard of people getting bugged achievement tracking due to some local Steam file that totally eludes me at the moment (just google "steam achievement bug reset delete file" or soemthing like that). I forget the name, but essentially deleting it will sometimes fix the problem. The only problem is that this file also tracks your progress on other achievements, like the 100,000 bots you killed toward the 1 million bots killed achievement will revert to 0. You won't lose achievements you completed, just progress on ones you haven't.

Good luck sorting it out.

I just ended up getting the Sly Voltage achievement while doing Decoy 30 Wave on one of the ThisLD servers. During the 500 Medic wave, i sapped more then 20 medics, earning the achievement. This could possibly apply as well to Tech Wrecker, such as it's requesting 20 kills instead of 10.

^ This is long time buggged. I got the rest ok with no issues.

[Ultimaximus]

I know this is an old discussion, but I'm just adding that I recently got this achievement, so I can verify that it isn't broken globally.

[Human_Opponent_03]

I know this is old but this is the top topic on this from google so it's the best place to reply to for others to see.

I only got Tech Wrecker after getting exactly 20 kills. I had done 10-14 kills multiple times and it finally triggered on 20. The achievement description was wrong for me and might be for others as well.

[Volva* {Garbage Loot God}]

Its been 11 years. Nobody in those 11 years replied to this so its not a problem worth mentioning.
Just keep it to yourself.
