Want to learn how to complete achievements faster than normal?
Then this is a guide to for you!

mp_c4timer
mp_limitteams
sv_maxspeed

We have 6 different types of achievements:
Rescue
Bomb
Special
Kills
Maps
Weapons

Covering Rescue and Bomb Achievements this task.

First of all I'd like to say it's easier to complete most of these achievements with bots (most of the time bots with knives are fine). But for some achievements, you'll just need to play online.

We'll start with Rescue Achievements.

We have:

Dead Shepherd - Kill an enemy player who is leading the hostages without injuring any hostages
For this one, you will need to be a terrorist. All you have to do is shoot the guy leading the hostages. It's easier to take a gun that can 1 hit kill the shepherd (Magnum, DEagle, Gauge Super) This minimizes your chances of hitting the hostages.

Freed with speed - Rescue all hostages within 90 seconds
For this one, it is recommended that you are in a small map such as cs_office. You only have 90 seconds, thats barely enough time for you to dash in and dash out with the hostages. I recommend you buy Flashbangs, hold whilst running.

Good Shepherd - Rescue all hostages in a single round
This is probably the easiest of the Rescue achievements. All you need to do, as a counter terrorist, is rescue all 4 hostages in the same round. Do it before all the terrorists die. No simpler way.

Cowboy Diplomacy - Rescue 100 Hostages
For this achievement you need to rescue 100 hostages, thats pretty much the Good Shepherd achievement 25 times. I recommend maps like cs_office or cs_havana where there are multiple ways to the hostages and multiple ways back to the rescue zone this way your enemies, the terrorists will be divided and your way through would be somewhat easier. cs_havana is faster but more dangerous, grab the hostages, fall through a hole in the floor near the hostages and boom, you're near the rescue zone (you may lose 3 hp if you miss the piece of wood.

SAR Czar - Rescue 500 hostages
Pretty much the same as Cowboy Diplomacy, only difference is now there are 500 instead of 100.

Bomb Achievements:

Blast Will and Testament – win a round by picking up the bomb from a fallen comrade and successfully planting it
When playing with bots, you will always start a round with the bomb if you are a terrorist in a de_ map (If you have the game mode set to "bots defer goals to humans"). You need to drop the bomb for your teammate to pick it up. Have the bot killed (I suggest using bot_kill (name here)) then picking up the bomb and planting it.

Boomala Boomala - Plant 100 bombs
As soon as you plant the bomb use the command bot_kill all , you will instantly win and start another round. Alternatively, you can use the mp_c4timer command and make the bomb defusal time shorter (I suggest 13 seconds, enough time for you to get away)

Combat Ready – Defuse a bomb with a kit when it would have failed without one
A bomb can be defused in 10 seconds without a defuse kit, it can be defused in 5 seconds with a defuse kit. This will take a bit of guessing but when you hear the beep rate of the bomb increase a lot, estimate when you need to start defusing the bomb.

Counter-Counter-Terrorist – Kill a CT while he is defusing the bomb
I recommend you plant the bomb where you can see it from a far distance. Hide in a far distance spot, make sure you can see the CT s walking towards the bomb before moving from your hidey hole (unless you have a very nice spot where you can pick them off with a sniper). When they start defusing the bomb, kill them.

Defusus Interruptus – stop defusing to kill a terrorist and then successfully finish defusing the bomb
All you have to do is start defusing a bomb, stop before it is completed, kill a terrorist and restart and finish defusing the bomb. I would recommend bots with melee only because their camping vision is terrible.

Participation Award – Kill an enemy player within 3 seconds of them recovering a dropped bomb
You will need to be a CT for this. All you have to do is to kill 2 people, the person holding the bomb and the person to pick it up. Recommended weapon: any long range weapon.

Rite of First Defusal – Win a round by defusing a bomb
As soon as the bomb is planted, kill all bots, go find the bomb, defuse it. Incase you don't know how to defuse a bomb one must walk up to a bomb, look at it, and then press and hold e.

Second to None – Successfully defuse a bomb with less than one second remaining
This is a hard achievement to accomplish. Risky option 1, use the command mp_c4timer and change the bomb timer to 7 seconds with a defuse kit (hopefully enough time for you to close your commands window and instantly start defusing the bomb) or 12 seconds if you don't have a defuse kit.

Short Fuse – plant a bomb within 25 seconds
As soon as the round starts, run to the nearest plant zone and plant the bomb, no detours.

Someone Set Up Us the Bomb – Win a round by planting a bomb
plant the bomb then use the command bot_kill all

The Hurt Blocker – Defuse 100 bombs
When the bomb is planted, kill all bots, defuse the bomb 100 times.

Wild Gooseman Chase – As the last living terrorist, distract a defuser long enough for the bomb to explode
Make sure your whole team is dead (except you), have the bomb planted, when you see the CT starting to defuse the bomb, shoot him (in the foot), DON'T KILL HIM, he will start to follow you, keep him following you until the bomb detonates.
