Easy Methods for "Pyromancer" & "Tartan Spartan" Achievements

Earn this in under 1 hour while idle EASILY. Without any help from servers!

A Perceptible Bug

Everyone knows this bug by now, it looks like you haven't earned any points for this achievement. But in reality it IS being counted, just not visibly on Steam. For this you'll have to look on the achievement window in TF2 to see your progress.

Due Credit

Huge thanks to TacoFluffy4 for putting the map on the workshop

And YES he did make a proper map for doing Pyromancer but it broke sadly with some update so I re-purposed this spy map in this way and it works very well!

Pyromancer

Now onto earning said achievement.
This is very fast if you already have some of the achievement earned like me, but if you have nearly nothing earned this will take you almost 2 full hours of idling. I've broken this guide into simple steps to follow.

1) Subscribe to this map on the workshop.

2) Open TF2 and open the Dev console Don't know how? follow this guide.

3) Open the map youve downloaded by pasting this into the dev console:


map workshop/685264203


4) After loading up the map, join red team as pyro and paste these commands in the dev console:


mp_respawnwavetime 0;mp_teams_unbalance_limit 0;tf_bot_force_class scout;tf_bot_add 20 blue scout;tf_bot_melee_only 1;+attack;+forward;+left


5) Hit enter and just wait for a while.

It should look like this:

To save your progress you must die, so before you exit the map just type kill in console

Sooner or later you'll be finished and can move on to grinding easier achievements.

ALSO FAIR WARNING YOUR FPS WILL DROP BELOW LIKE 20 FPS UNLESS YOU HAVE A GREAT PC

Tartan Spartan

I discovered a way to achieve the Demo-man equivalent of Pyromancer on this map.

1) Restart TF2

2) Open the same map

map workshop/685264203

3) Spawn as Red Demo-Man (Loch n' Load recommended)

4) Paste this into console

mp_respawnwavetime 0;mp_teams_unbalance_limit 0;tf_bot_force_class engineer;tf_bot_add 20 blue engineer;tf_bot_melee_only 1;+attack;

5) Find a good spot to sit and alt tab out of the game now.

Just like Pyromancer you must die for the progress to be saved...

Should take 1-2 hours sadly...

[Malarkey :D]

thanks worked perfectly and was extremely simple how u set it up :)

[magazine permafrost]

well the scouts and engies dont fall through in my experience, but you may be on to something. thanks for the additional info for everyone

Improvement to both of these achievement methods: if you switch the scouts and engineers for heavies, they take more damage which I believe yields more points.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, Heavy is taller and if you add the below command, they won't be able to hit you.

+duck

NOTE: if you die, you'll need to reset the duck.
NOTE 2: for some reason, the Heavies can get stuck down between the dispensers. If this happens, you'll need to switch weapons and try hitting them from a few different angles to kill them then when they respawn they'll be back on top of the dispensers.
This is somehow triggered by player death...again, I have no idea.
