Team Fortress 2 Classic Pack

Achievement	Guide
A Calculated Accident	This achievement requires you to be playing as a Soldier with the R.P.G. equipped. Playing in open maps like 2Bridge and Dustbowl is recommended for this achievement, as well as any gamemodes where many enemies would need to cluster in a small area, like Payload or CP. If you aren't in a map with large sightlines, when you are approaching the frontlines, try firing off a few shots at an upward angle towards where any enemies may be on the off-chance that you hit someone. This is made easier by the fact that the R.P.G. has no damage falloff, so there's no need to worry about not being able to finish off enemies at long range.
KA-BLOOIE!	This achievement requires you to be playing as a Demoman with the Dynamite Pack equipped. The Dynamite Pack does enough damage to take out both a level 3 Dispenser and Sentry, alongside the Engineer if he is absent-minded enough. The Engineer poses a problem, as he can disable your Dynamite Pack with a single hit from his Wrench, so throw it at an Engineer's nest while he is absent or dead, and have it destroy his Buildings. You can also use it on Teleporters or Jump Pads, which are often left unattended. Repeat this until you've destroyed 5 of any buildings with the Dynamite Pack.
Fuse Refusal	As discussed above, this achievement requires you to be playing as an Engineer. Either wait for a Demoman to toss some Dynamite your way, or leap into the fray and defuse any packs thrown at your teammates. To defuse it, simply hit it once with your Wrench within 2.5 seconds of it being thrown. This achievement is relatively simple, as the Dynamite Pack is a popular pick for Demoman players, and you only need to do this once to get the achievement. However, its short fuse time and the ability of the Cyclops to immediately detonate the pack will pose an issue to you if you are attempting to get this achievement.
An Experienced World Traveler	To get this achievement, you must play one full round on Dustbowl, 2Fort, Badlands (Control Points), Casbah and Well (Capture the Flag). You can search for servers by map in the "Find Servers" tab, or simply play on official servers until the map rotation puts you on the ones you need.
Destructive Criticism	This achievement requires you to get lucky enough to play in a server with a Developer, Community Contributor or Beta Tester, and skilled enough to "dominate" them, by killing them 4 times without being killed by them once. If you do end up in a game with them, play as the class you are best at, or Spy, so you can target them without too much resistance.
Texan Predictability	This achievement requires you to be playing as an Engineer with the Coilgun equipped. Charge up the gun by holding down alt-fire, and once the bar turns red, it gains the ability to ricochet, or bounce off of surfaces. Enclosed, indoor spaces or chokepoints work best for this, like the tunnel in Dustbowl, and aiming horizontally will give you the highest chance of hitting someone. Ricochet shots off the walls around a corner or bend, and hope you hit a weakened enemy. Each bounce will lower the damage of the shot, and it can only bounce 3 times before dissipating, so aim carefully.
Deep Sleep	This achievement requires you to be playing as a Spy with the Tranquilizer Gun equipped. Shoot an enemy, then go in for the kill. Beware, as shooting an enemy will alert them of your position and existence but will also colorblind them, lower their speed and ranged damage and make them take guaranteed Crits from melee weapons, making it easier for you to finish them off with your Knife. Mind that a critical hit with the Knife only does 120 damage, and the Tranquilizer Gun only does 20 damage, so try to target a light class. Do this ten times to get the achievement.
Birthday Blowout	This achievement requires you to be playing as a Pyro. Similarly to the Fuse Refusal achievement, this includes the defusal of a Dynamite Pack, but by way of Airblast instead of the Wrench. The Dynamite Pack explodes after 2.5 seconds into four individual dynamite sticks, using the Flamethrower, alt-fire to extinguish their fuses. Either wait for a Demoman to throw a Dynamite Pack at you, or seek them out to airblast them yourself. Extinguishing 20 of these sticks will get you the achievement.
Badge of Shame	This achievement requires you to be playing in the VIP or VIP Race gamemodes. Approach the Civilian while he is alone or undefended, and just stand still. If he believes you are friendly, draw your melee weapon and hit him to provoke him. The Civilian's melee only does 35 damage, 105 on a crit, and he is unlikely to engage in combat, so try to corner him or put him in a situation where he believes he has no other choice but to engage you himself. Play as a non-threatening or "weak" class like Engineer, Sniper, Medic, or Spy to encourage him to attack you, and try to take some damage beforehand to make it easier for him to finish you off with his melee.

Gamemodes and Maps Pack

Achievement	Guide
The Entrepreneur	This achievement requires you to be playing as the Civilian in the VIP gamemode, and win a round without dying. To do this, stick close to your teammates and watch out for Snipers and Spies. Absolutely do not go ahead of your teammates or engage in direct combat. Be as cautious as possible. It would be beneficial to have a Medic healing you at all times.
Loyal Servant	This achievement requires you to be playing as a Medic in the VIP or VIP Race gamemodes. The Civilian has 200 health, can go up to 300 with overheal and is the main target of the enemy team, so he needs quite a bit of healing. With enough time, you will be able to reach 5000 points of healing done to a Civilian. Some progress towards this achievement can also be made with Heavy's Sandviches, granting 100 health each to the Civilian, and with Engineer's Dispensers.
Restraining Order Violation	This achievement requires you to be playing in the VIP or VIP Race gamemodes. To get the achievement, you must kill the enemy Civilian four times in a single round. This is done easiest with the pick classes like Sniper and Spy, or through assists as a Medic.
On The Run!	To get this achievement, you must play one full round on Badwater Basin (VIP), Blackstone Harbor, Mineside, and Trainyard. You can search for servers by map in the "Find Servers" tab, or simply play on official servers until the map rotation puts you on the ones you need.
Fraudulent Transaction	This achievement requires you to be playing as a Spy in the VIP or VIP Race gamemodes. Disguise yourself as a favorable Boost recipient, like Heavy, Soldier or Medic, and if the Civilian does boost you with his Umbrella (Mini-crits) or Derby Cane (Haste), backstab him, or shoot him if he's on low enough health.
Total Domination	This achievement requires you to be playing in the Domination gamemode, preferably on Oil Canyon, Railway or Sawtooth. to get the achievement, your team must have all of the Control Points under their control. Play as a Scout for faster travel from point to point as well as a higher capture rate.
Oil and Water	To get this achievement, you must play one full round on Oil Canyon and Hydro. You can search for servers by map in the "Find Servers" tab, or simply play on official servers until the map rotation puts you on the ones you need. You do not need to win to get the achievement.
Undercover Boss	This achievement requires you to be playing as a Civilian. Stay near your teammates, and if they engage in combat, hide behind props, walls or corners. Your aura will still be accessible through walls. The aura grants 20% damage resistance, so if teammates take a total of 10000 damage while under its effects, you'll get the achievement for helping them resist a total of 2000 damage.
Employee of the Month	This achievement requires you to be playing on the same team as a Civilian. It is recommended you play as a Heavy or a Soldier, but any class you are skilled at will work. If he buffs you, try to kill three enemies before the buff wears off.
Undercover Boss	This achievement requires you to be playing as a Civilian. Grant a teammate a buff at an opportune time, and if they kill three enemies within the next 8 seconds, you will get this achievement. Do not, in most cases, rely on buffing Engineers, Medics or Spies while attempting this achievement.
Hostile Takeover	This achievement requires you to be playing in the VIP or VIP Race gamemodes. To get the achievement, you must kill the enemy Civilian, then two enemies using the crit boost you receive. This is a relatively simple achievement, as Civilians are likely to be near multiple teammates at all times. This achievement is probably done easiest by a skilled sniper, as he can one-shot the Civilian with no warning, then land critical bodyshots on any two classes with Medic health or lower.
Look Out for the Little Guy	This achievement requires you to be playing on the same team as a Civilian. Stay close to him, and if any enemies attack him, target them. Killing 20 enemies who've recently damaged your VIP will grant you the achievement.
Urgent Care	This achievement requires you to be playing as a Medic in the VIP or VIP Race gamemodes. If a weaker enemy tries to engage the Civilian in close combat, after they hit him, target them and try to kill them with the Syringe Gun, Bonesaw or a fully charged Shock Therapy hit. Killing the enemy that attacked your Civilian will grant you the achievement.
Triple Agent	This achievement requires you to be playing as a Spy in any Four-Team maps. Target one team at a time, and keep track of which team each enemies you've backstabbed are on. If you manage to backstab at least one player from each of the three enemy teams in one round, you'll get this achievement.

Escape Artist	This achievement requires you to be playing in the VIP Race gamemode. If the timer runs out, you'll enter Sudden Death mode. You'll be unable to respawn, so if your Civilian dies, you lose. If your Civilian escapes during Sudden Death mode, you'll get the achievement.
The Big Short	This achievement requires you to be playing as a Civilian with a Civilian on the enemy team. Stay near your teammates who are engaging with the enemy team and targeting the enemy VIP. If you assist in four kills against that VIP, you'll gain this achievement.

Fowl Play	This achievement requires you to be playing on Sunnyside. From point A, there is a structure with a large "C" over a doorway. Enter this building, and under the planks with the large health pack on it, is a pair of spinning crushers. Chase a chicken into that hole to unlock the achievement.
