Is the "if only i got paid for this" achievement impossible or what?

[Reggie]

I've been at this for who knows how long now, looked at countless guides, been "skill issued" in many instances, and basically been told to "get gud". But how can you "get gud" at something with unpredictable physics, wonky collision, and stuttering? Who knows, all i know is the devs didn't try it themselves (clearly) or else we wouldn't have this stupid f***ing time vampire of an achievement.

Edit: I have since acquired the achievement, huge thanks to Tacitcat for helping me out. I never would've thought it was possible to throw mugs into the hoop and have it count towards the achievement. If I did, I probably wouldn't have made this post in the first place.

However, with the duality of man, such as it is nowadays; one side being the saints that they are, giving out useful advice for the low price of free. Contrasted by the other side being anything but helpful. Showing off, badmouthing or being a general nuisance to someone (especially when they're in need) really doesn't help anyone.

Realistically speaking, the achievement itself really only gives you bragging rights, and (in my opinion) is possibly the most boring out of the huge roster of achievements present within Deep Rock Galactic.

There are some genuinely helpful people and guides present in this thread, but the rest is just visual garbage. Spewed from the pea sized brains of "red pilled", armchair, pseudo English major, twitter mongrels who have never worked a day and have nothing to do with their miserable lives

Regardless, good luck to anyone trying to get this achievement, you are absolutely going to need it.

yes it's impossible

One of the few achievements that's actually an achievement. Something tougher than "Achievement unlocked: Jump" comes along and suddenly it's "the devs didn't try it themselves (clearly)".

Karl would laugh at you.

This guide helped me greatly.
Also, about the stuttering. I heard of an issue with the hoop stuttering on dx12, might switch to dx11 and see if that fixes it.
Finally, if you can't get it, DM me and I can help. Got it once before so I think I can do it again.

An ass that is both right, and sunk enough barrels to get 3000 points.

Well, it’s not impossible, because a moron like me was able to do it.

For one, wait for the barrel to “settle” before kicking it (new ones bounce once, and I’ve noticed that if you kick it mid bounce the trajectory will get all messed up), then the rest is pretty simple.

Also do not make any kicks when the hoop speeds up unless you’re confident in your abilities. Also you shouldn’t be having any stutters unless you’re playing on somebody else’s game.

You can throw mugs in for 1 point each, so get as close as you can with barrels and then play it safe.

you can shut the ♥♥♥♥ up now

No you can shut up.

You can straight up see the stats if you browse achievements; you private profile, ♥♥♥♥ string, level 0, internet illiterate, intentionally abrasive, knife eared, elf.

It's basically a game of timing when to kick depending on the speeds of the hoop but yeah there's a bit of an RNG factor with the physics I'll give you that but it's not impossible. You really do need to set aside a good hour, have patience and look at a guide again. Keep taking short breaks as well between a certain amount of efforts.

[Waldherz]

Friend of mine got it recently and he didnt even try all that much. Was one afternoon.
I still dont have it. But its certainly not impossible.

You are supposed to cheat, save your sanity and hack it.

No lol

i thought canadians were meant to be friendly

You have to get used to the timing.
If it's slow, kick it just before it bounces from right-side. If it's fast, you kick sooner. Once you can consistently get 5+ streaks (streaks = bonus points) before a miss, you're on the right track.
