Some cautionary advice:

This will save you the trouble of potentially breaking your game and endlessly haranguing your favorite 100pag mods with questions already answered in this guide.

• The condition descriptions for many achievements are not correct.
  
• Many of the achievements no longer function as originally intended.
  
• Some achievements require a specific order or will not unlock properly.
  
• Some achievements perform conditional checks about every half hour and upon match starts. It is not unheard of to see Hardcore (for example) unlock a day or two late.

Master Warrior

DnS has addressed the issue of this achievement simply not working at all. They did not however change the wording of the achievement description which is off by an order of 10. DnS has responded to complaints about this with a sort of "just deal with it" attitude. I can't blame them. It is a fairly minor gripe.

The achievement is now: Play total of 10,000 matches with more than 6 players.

There are some things in the description of which to take note. It does not specify that human players must be used, nor that the match actually be online. It also does not say whether the teams need to be balanced.
Host multiplayer (single player also works)

Use these settings:
Map: Molten Rock
Mode: *** (Team Deathmatch recommended)
10 players
9 bots
Difficulty: easy
score limit: 5
time limit: 1 minute
respawn: 0
Balance: On (This is a bug, "on" for some reason actually means "off" lawl)
Harcore: off
Set a password

***Since the achievement unlocks in any game mode with 6+ players and does not require that one win the match, any game mode can realistically be chosen. I would however note that if one is trying to grind wins quickly that one uses either destroy the beacon or team death match. These modes, when idled, will absolutely move your Warrior progress along the fastest. CTF can also sort of be idled but I do not recommend this.
When in game, team switch to red leaving blue a man down. idle your way to 10k matches. These methods can be slightly altered to fit the master rank requirements for all game modes except Deathmatch and CTF (kind of/ sort of.) I recommend completing Master Warrior before completing all other game mode master rank achievements.

or

Alternatively: use cos' map for fast ctf wins*

Game Mode Win Achievements - Champion!!!

I would highly recommend trying to unlock Champion!!! after completing Master Warrior as there is apparently the potential for one to bug the other.
With that noted:

Obtain 1000 wins in Team Deathmatch

Easy as pie.


Map: Molten Rock
Host a multiplayer match
players: 7
bots: 6
time limit: 1 min
score limit: 5

When the game starts team switch to red. This will leave blue a man down. Do not respawn. Instead go to sleep, organize your Hummel collection, water your juniper bushes, whitewash your fence boards, etc while you idle your way to 1k victories.

Obtain 1000 wins in Destroy the Beacon

Also easy as pie.


bots: 7
Map: Molten Rock
time limit: 1 min
respawn: 10 sec

Make absolutely sure you are on blue team. This game mode will take the least amount of time to obtain 1k wins through idling.

Obtain 1000 wins in Capture the Flag

somewhat difficult and time consuming.


Map: Molten Rock
players: 7
bots: 6
difficulty: easy
score limit: 5
time limit: 3 min
respawn: 0

Immediately team switch to red. This will leave blue a man down. Equip the shotgun and armcutter. At round start, boost up to grab the plasma thrower.
*Later in the round grab that scorcher too if you wish to use it or simply prevent the bots from getting it.
Rush blue hard.
Win.
Repeat 1000x

or

Use Cos' map*

Obtain 1000 wins in Deathmatch

This one is ostensibly the hardest to do. It depends on player skill level.
Recommended settings:


Map: Molten Rock
time limit: 1-10 minutes
score limit: 5 for fast match *I recommend turning it off if you are doing weapon/ multi kill achievements
bots:6-12
difficulty: easy
respawn: 0

The minigun racks up the most kills, especially at higher bot numbers. This allows you to grind out your multi-kill achievements and DM wins easily. When minigun and multi-kill achievements have hit master rank, switch to another weapon type if you prefer.
Win 1000x

Hardcore!!! - Master Avenger / Master Survivor

Unlock Survivor and Avenger
This achievement was fixed by DnS long ago. After completing both Master Avenger and Master Survivor this achievement will unlock. The order almost certainly matters due to the fact that the avenger achievements are buggy. It should unlock at the same time, or as some report, slightly later than Master Survivor.

Master Avenger

Survive 15 matches without being killed
A patch released in 2010 addressed gameplay issues such as framerate dependent shooting and player movement but inadvertently broke the avenger achievements which currently fire at random. Victories do not count towards the achievement's progress.

There is thankfully a workaround.

Make a single player game
Use exactly these game settings and play one match for each of the achievement tiers.

Map: Apartment Block
Mode: Team Deathmatch
12 players
11 Bots
Difficulty: easy
score limit: off
time limit: 25
respawn: 5
Harcore: off
Set a password

Just idle in the game until all the avenger achievements unlock.
*This achievement is required to complete Hardcore!!
I highly recommend doing this achievement before attempting Master Survivor

Master Survivor

Survive 25 minutes without being killed.
Use your ranged weapon of choice (minigun and sniper are both quite viable) Keep the bot count low (or not if you are a particulary skilled player, I guess) Pick out a larger map. Set game time to 25 minutes. Don't die.

Option Two:
Host Multiplayer

Use these settings:
Map: Molten Rock
Mode: Deathmatch
2 players
0 bots
Difficulty: easy
score limit: off
time limit: 25
respawn: 0
Harcore: off
Set a password

Have a human player join and then just idle until all survivor achievements unlock.
I recommend doing this achievement after completing Master Avenger

If you completed "Master Avenger" after "Master Survivor", chances are "Hardcore!!!" will not unlock. If that happens, try to achieve "Master Survivor" once again. This generally resolves the issue.

Weapon Achievements - Master Trooper!!!

There is now a grind map:

Map: Cosa de Taut, by Cos

Link: www.XXXXXiafire.com/?eyi66v6gjs3nj6c (mediafire link)


Extract the contents into Steam\SteamApps\common\boostertrooper\Data\LevelData
I recommend the following game setup:
Game mode: Destroy the Beacon
Bots: 11
Difficulty: Easy
Game time:: 25 Minutes
Respawn Time: 0
Balanced: Yes

Deadly Marksman

Much in the same way that DnS fixed the Warrior achievements and did not change the listed requirement values, Deadly Marksman remains incorrect. The player is only required to kill 2000 enemies using the sniper rifle.

This is fortunate as the sniper rifle is notoriously difficult to use well. There is a physical cap on how many kills can logistically be acquired with the sniper in 25 minutes. If we factor in the horrendous 6 second reload time, assume no requirement to pick up ammo packs (lolz), a chained kill combo every time, and 100% accuracy the cap is 250. Getting to 200 kills/round with bots is unrealistic. I found it was difficult to crack 200 kills even with a static partner. So, under optimum im-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-possible conditions this achievement still requires 8 hours of pure grind.

Grenade Bug

Grenade Kills logically count towards grenade kills, but they also add to the total kills of whichever weapon one has equipped (excluding Rocket Launcher and Magma Thrower) This can potentially speed up the process of Sniper Kills or Plasma Kills immensely.

Booster Trooper!! Achievement

Unlock: Master Trooper, Crusader, Hardcore and Champion.
The achievement was broken with the initial release of the game. This is absolutely true.
Apart from it being unlocked by a few people at random through a long fixed bug, it could not be obtained.
Many angry emails and forum posts later the devs fixed the issue. According to DnS, achievements such as Booster Trooper!!, Hardcore, and Champion do a global check for 'all conditions met' periodically.
They fixed the glitch.

However, the achievement still doesn't unlock properly.
This is almost certainly because of changes made to the meta-conditions within the pre-existing needed conditions to unlock Booster Trooper!! without also reconciling these changes in the coding.
Notable Examples:

• Master Warrior now takes 10k wins instead of 1k wins to unlock.
  
• Master Marksman now only requires 3.5k kills to unlock instead of the original 5k.

This is ostensibly the issue.
While the conditions to unlock were fixed, the metaphorical 'ghosts' of these former conditions still linger within the meta-requirements for Booster Trooper!!.

In English this means: After unlocking Master Trooper, Crusader, Hardcore, and Champion; one must then perform an additional 1.5k kills with the sniper rifle. Achievement should unlock immediately but may unlock at the end of round or late.

Game Basics and Primary Weapons [ENG translation of the Original JPN guide by Nanastaxia]

Multiplayer fighting side-scrolling action game
It's a subtle game never without also be a hot topic in particular, that especially interesting fact, but there will be that you would get a chance of something.
At such times, it is a guide for fun playing not broken by the air using the MINIGUN carelessly.

478 standard Build. Would not the patch hits anymore once.

basics

Orthodox game screen in the side-scrolling, shoot that gun toward (where there is a mark of the sighting) mouse cursor.
Because there is a place that has changed the game of some other, it should be introduced there.

• The hard to see HP · fuel currently

I think it's a feeling that you continue to understand in the sense basically.

① will use to boost fuel, which will be described later. The dangerous if you do not look here.
② is HP. The villainy specification invisible almost matches the background color by the map.
Instant death much so Well, it is not it may be the one said that may be not have to worry much ...

Jumps boost in Space + right-click

Since almost no fly jump, it will fly using a combination of jet pack right click substantially.
Note there is decent fuel, climb lightly level difference of several stages about but, since the basis expires in a strange place.
You do not climb the step decent If you do not use this and can not be taken even items. It's a strange key arrangement that WAD + 2 button to move normally, but no choice but to get used to.

• The squatting in S key
Since there is no course of that under move, S key is assigned to squatting.
It is limited because the fixed battery is canceled when you move, but far away to be seen little by hit area is decreased slightly during squatting, the screen is zoomed out a little.
The strong and become devoted stably enemy away. Although difficult hella In MINIGUN other.
erroneous information. Field of view is widened only SNIPER RIFLE is in squatting. Visibility of weapons of other fixed to each weapon, (the state in which it is zoomed out) wide field of vision weapon range effectiveness becomes larger.

· Bullet a parabola


You do not know this world, the performance of the gun or bad gravity or strong, but firearms most will not be able to skip a bullet straight decent.
Terrible in the secondary PISTOL, level said bullets just piss.
It is difficult habit is to hit the bullet is in the aim for that. The trick is to practice here.
Even if almost right above shot, bullets bends again depending on the orientation of the user's character when firing. Because of the performance of the gun still is ...?

· Multiplayer lag assumption
LAGGING regardless of any PC specs, line, and ping, etc.. Is by design.
About fine warp so happens as a matter of course, it helped even care.
Partly it, is pasted weapons barrage requires no precision fire becomes stronger. That MINIGUN.


primary
I will select one from five. No selection of attachments, such as. Method of operation is also the same.
Below, represents the number of bullets that is replenished when it is picked up (see below) ammunition items on the map "replenishment number of bullets."
"Reload" is a reload time, but Yes Yes error because it measured only feeling completely. Since almost unchanged But which, if either long, for comparison.
It will be saved and you wish to provide people with the exact number, the Irasshare.

ASSAULT RIFLE

Of a second 90 shots / reload number 90 rounds / bullets replenishment number 30 rounds / bullets preliminary Capacity
Assault rifle that can fire the so-called plain.

Features such as this is not particularly, bullet-striking even in middle distance is somewhat lower the power to knock down instead of roses.
It does not kill it and not Ika against exactly unexpectedly, but the bullet fall by gravity decent.
Even so-called beginners.

SHOTGUN

1.5 seconds number 21 shots / reload number 27 rounds / bullets replenishment number 3 rounds / bullets preliminary Capacity
(To be fired at (3way) 3 shot set, virtually one-third)
Shotgun such as a pump action expression.

Bullet so scattered in blatant, While it is damage such dregs like in middle distance and later,

Become damage killed instantly grade at close range.
(Presumably) anti-weaponsARMCUTTER the secondary. ARMCUTTER is not reach by the difference between the subtle range, I kill in Wanpan directly.
The strong if there is confidence in the close-range battle, including the air.
As an aside, a rare weapon that is not under the influence of gravity is almost bullet.

SNIPER RIFLE

3 seconds or more number 9 shots / reload number 9 rounds / bullets replenishment number 1 shot / spare bullets Capacity
Sniper rifle single-action.
Sense of shooting up to the next extremely long, but it is not under the influence of gravity, not influenced by distance, because it is instant death, weapons should be the strongest Tsukaikonasere theoretical Once hit.
However, continue to Hitchu the enemy to move rugs and speed of decent So impossible in reality ...
It is difficult to use because of the considerable long reload.
Moreover, advanced weapons and sober about confusing even whether shot, quite difficult to use.
I think that it can also use a SHOTGUN basis once.
After, it is likely to hit the number will increase, the score may come out quite myself if it does not even being targeted.

MINIGUN

Of a second 200 rounds / reload number 300 rounds / bullets replenishment number 100 rounds / bullets preliminary Capacity
Cooks weapon. Or more.
Might still be good if at the Battle of each other (but if it exists) senior author of this game, but the strongest weapon in Ichi択 definitely it's a fight or AI mingled among amateur.

For over an uneven, the density of the barrage is dark obviously compared with AR, etc., DPS becomes an order of magnitude, Capacity is killed in an instant it hits a decent first.
Less susceptible than ASSAULT RIFLE The influence of gravity, it's shoot each other in a straight line it is almost nearly impossible.
I'm coming gap also considerably less for reload is short on it, possession number of bullets is also not less.
As a disadvantage,

# (Fatal plenty to Risupon immediately after) that spin up some time is required before firing
# (Can not spin up in a strict sense) can not be fired in the air

About.
As a countermeasure,

# (It is difficult because there is no explosive long-range) to kill explosives, etc. from where the rays of the straight line does not pass
(Range is the same, however) to kill in that shed from off-screen before the #SNIPER RIFLE
# Also here (easiest) to use MINIGUN

Etc..
If you do not use honest if game of relatives than is safe? The impression that is it but ...
However, since it is not possible in the same way as other weapons is blood and thunder, It may not be easy in that sense.

It's not allowed to be misunderstood, but it is not that invincible just say one little downside.
Although it is the other party win ingenuity. The but not interesting enough to die and become all members.

ROCKET LAUNCHER

6 shot 6 rounds / bullets replenishment number 1 shot / spare bullets Capacity
Explosives lovable.
It's not the same as SNIPER RIFLE in the sense that single-shot weapon of instant death if you hit, but may be more inferior in speed bullet-carrying number of bullets.
However, There is only a rocket launcher, there is damage caused by the blast of course. I Nashi DOUBLE KILL mistake if Uchikome where you have a close-range battle with ARMCUTTER around or SHOTGUN.
Note that the bullet speed is slow, in that there is a suicide damage.
Secondary / Secondary Weapons
Choose one from two.

Secondary and Throwable Weapons [ENG translation of the Original JPN guide by Nanastaxia]

PISTOL

Of a second 60 shots / reload number 100 rounds / bullets replenishment number 12 rounds / bullets preliminary Capacity
So-called semi-automatic hand gun.
Power is low fairly There is only a secondary even I, but the influence of gravity is unusually large.
Abnormalities or will recognize Speaking of, does not fly straight from GRENADE.
Range is short terribly in its influence, not nearly the potential to win the primary.

Given that you can not win nearly as Uchia~tsu the primary, that ARMCUTTER below are excellent and are not using it to get used to very much.
Reload such as SNIPER RIFLE because there should strong theoretically as a secondary weapon for long, and whether there is in practice soon.

ARMCUTTER

Melee weapon, such as we have seen somewhere. Bubububun.
It's a semi-automatic handling, but it is possible to attack with amazing speed be to roll, there are no restrictions such as the number of bullets.
Therefore, weapons that can be almost ?? Once you've entered in the range even once.

Looks flashy. Flashy also like death.
I think the secondary is a good in here if there is no particular reason. However, the end ? killed instantly reload the primary opponent chasing too carelessly! The Beware is to that. Because you can not spin up in the (air, or die on the spot or give up the fight back to escape into the air, MINIGUN side Mochikaeru to the secondary when cornered on the edge of the plane should be strong is larger and follow the plow reload MINIGUN prima facie not deer).

Throwing products / Throwing Weapons
Choose one from two.
Unlike the primary and secondary, from the red ammunition items on the map it is not possible to recover the ammunition (see below).
Throwing in the E key. And he really threw everything at a moment when you roll with Kakaka~tsu. The Beware when you do not want to throw only one.
There is a suicide damage both. Note that die instantly when you throw on the floor!

GRENADE

Number three shots possession bullets
So-called grenade. It's instant death to hit, but is cut about half just to explode nearby.

(Add orbit image because it was hard to understand) that fly at high speed in a straight line fairly.
One about to be hit or If he throws three holy at the same time if there is no confidence. The trick is not thought to throwing thing, is directing the aiming in the same way as gun.

SHREDDER

Number three shots possession bullets
The confusing name but, C4 explosives as long as you read the description of the performance and behavior.

It is not visible only to Suriken, but installation of explosive expression.
To repeat it, and throw again in E key detonated next ? E-key next ? throw in the E key, you do not put only one one person on the map.
Note that it is die to explode at hand when you roll.
It's strength is the kill even without a direct hit, but slightly time-consuming for to throw the number of weaknesses.
It is even used to trap or by installing, how difficult it looks so easy to understand. AI tread.
Items / Items on the map on the map
Item placement is different for each map. Pick up freely and by moving to the location where it overlaps.
Only aura remains disappeared someone pick up. I respawn after a fixed period of time, determined for each item.
That the promise of the game of this kind, be aware of each map the location of this is pretty important.

You do not know for item name other than weapons have not been represented in the game, it is named in dogmatism.
It will be saved and enjoy the information provided you know when you come in the analysis and the like.

Ammunition (red)

20 seconds respawn
It is located to find roughly.
I can be replenished (described earlier with the items in each weapon) ammo which was decided in each weapon. Important especially a weapon with less ammo.
(In Deathmatch especially) because you can possession beyond the possession of the first number of bullets, it's would take "not Torase others" for it there.

Grenade ammunition (gold)

20 seconds respawn
And some, such as the top of the map, in a location that is inconspicuous little roughly.
3 shots to recover a number of bullets of throwing thing. Does not exceed the upper limit, this is not pick up in a state for which you have three shots.

Health

20 seconds respawn
It is located to find roughly.
I will recover about 50% of maximum HP. Note that it is not pick up in a state of maximum HP.
Of that victory, made ??the difference ? HP flee towards here in the middle of the shootout's classic, and it's hit the GRENADE where you go to pick up and read it in reverse also called there, the item which is the center of politics.

PLASMA THROWER

Number 60 shots 5 shots / spare bullets Capacity
90 seconds 30 seconds / respawn valid time
That it is in a remote location such as the top of the map left and right, and so on recovery in many cases.
The so-called intensive weapon. It is equipped on its own at the time of pick up, but because it is not "equipment has increased one" only in treatment, it is possible to re-holding normally with the mouse wheel.
Disappeared, regardless of the number of bullets remaining after 30 seconds, it is the primary dimensional worlds. And lost some cases died, but does not affect the respawn time of the item.

Beam weapon to fire a large bullet, such as the STG.
It's (die in a couple of shots That said) power is not so high, but noteworthy is that it is a "wide range of attacks that fly straight."
It is a pattern judgment somewhat weaker than it looks street, but even so the range hitting even shoot in the mid-'s miscellaneous threat.

MAGMA THROWER

Number 60 shots 5 shots / spare bullets Capacity
90 seconds 30 seconds / respawn valid time
That it is in a remote location such as the top of the map left and right, and so on recovery in many cases.
Strengthening weapons same as PLASMA THROWER.

Range attack that injects magma. Are susceptible to gravity.
What instant death when it finds it does not change, but spread on the ground it does not explode upon landing and instead (? Only narrow).
Sometimes it is 5 fire, on a Abikyokan, because rate of fire is fast as it looks, it is difficult to avoid fairly on the ground when being shot in a narrow place.
Conclusion and / Conclusion
Commentary Bukit item completed.
I think such information immediately apparent is that's almost by examining a little, but it did not seem "to investigate a little" people also remain in this game, you have created a guide and also serves as a record.

Multiplayer What unattended It's of course, but to match with friends in the first place even if the host is also (and you can not be seen or looked) difficult for some reason. It is getting worse every time I do I mean.
Hard single play strong sober (I feel just became harder will be), so it's possible that so to practice, but ...
Since (but's a complete work) Actual is unusually high, you can also meet such demand.

I think discussion of twenty-three maps one game mode 4, and want to have if you have a chance.
Because it is a game that you should play it if you think that it will still play, I want to try it Multiplayer so if possible.

Idle matches with a full house of bots on molten rock. It can take days but it works.

[7_of_9]

Picked this up again after a long time ...Sadly Booster Trooper still didn´t unlock, even after 8,3 k sniper kills... But thanks for the guide nontheless :-)

[proudlarry]

minor update

[proudlarry]

... in time friend

[numb]

I wish I could give an award though my balance doesn't reach the threshold to give.

[proudlarry]

or dont.
playing booster trooper is fun. i believe people should have options to amend their playstyle as they please. For example, i did all my shotgun and armcutter kills by playing the ctf gamemode for real.

thank cos and i with awards

[numb]

Should have used Cos' map from the beginning for a big amount of time saving. Whoever reading this, make sure to use Cos' map to boost/grind/farm efficiently otherwise you are gonna waste up to 100 hours on this. Thanks a lot for the guide and the map. Time to remedy the free weekend misunlock I did 12 years ago.

[proudlarry]

yes. not enough bots. folllow the guide precisely

[numb]

It's weird that I idled for more than 100 hours and only reached 6600+ games played. Did I do something wrong? Cause normally other people can somehow finish grinding.

[proudlarry]

youre never too late for booster trooper
