Demolitions Master Badlands can sod right off.

[Boomscleby]

Just a mini-vent.

I love this game, but that one Demo Master in the Badlands with a pro time of 1:15 where you throw remote-mines down shafts to blow up the house?

That can **** right off with it's random luck bull.

Why? Because it drove me off the game several years ago, I just straight up gave up out of frustration. It very nearly did this time as well; there's nothing for it except keep trying the only possible method til you get lucky.

I'm past it now, how well? With a time of 18 ****ing seconds is how. Two barrels and the building collapsed. And I'm not even bloody happy because it's nothing but sheer random chance after hundreds of failed attempts and barrels flying way over the pipes.


Love RF:G. But seriously **** that one minigame.

I did okay with all the ones in the main game but the DLC made me feel that way, like they just tried to make it as ridiculous as possible.

"that one in the badlands" is actually pretty easy, grab the canisters by pressing the interact key and on the last one attach a remote mine and chuck the canister down the shaft and press your detonate key

Why are you self censoring

Yeah, that's not reliable at all.
The nature of Guerrilla's physics engine means it's nigh impossible to replicate this event consistently. It's been two odd years but iirc this specific challenge is what lead to me deleting the game multiple times. Even at the initial throw-point, a canister will fly perfectly on-point towards the targeting reticule....or massively above, or low, or to either side, thrown overarm, underarm or shotput, with zero repeatability or predictable accuracy; this is then compounded massively by the fact the canisters have to roll a significant distance down-tube subject to the game's physics rules as well as the fact the challenge is clearly designed for barrels to roll....which they do badly with a mine attached.

Like I said, it's been several years but I very clearly remember spending multiple hours across multiple days trying to land this achievement, literally hundreds of attempts failing because the game decided on an underarm lob that throws a canister into the pipe's support struts and wrecks it, or an overarm that lobs the thing too high to land on top, or physics leaves the canister stuck halfway down the pipe, or breaking the pipe-bottom meaning nothing else can be thrown down. The fact 'Win time' is 1:15 and the only time I succeeded was a frankly ridiculous 0:18 because I got ridiculously lucky is proof of my point. This challenge (and several others) isn't a test of skill or clever thinking, it's just waiting for the Game-Gods to smile on your randomized roll of the dice.

I'm curious how and why you found this post though, it must have been deep in the old pages after several years.

That's what I was thinking! How did that guy stumble across such an old post if they weren't looking for a solution because it's so 'easy'?

On side note i had some troubles with this one too.

I just jam the explosive rigged canisters in both pipe and pray for the best.

The game was merciful in my last play as i got Pro Time by sheer luck.

I have tried to unblock most swear words but your last two weren't my unblocklist, rest are unblocked

idk why but i like browsing discussions to see stupid people and tell them obvious information, I am not calling you stupid but for me that challenge in the badlands was easy
