Posted December 19, 200519 yr I've searched and cant find anything here.... whats the best way to get the explosives badge? I've had a freaking blast (no pun intended ) trying to get it... drive a vehicle near an enemy spawn, place a mine under it and hide, got 12 kills (yes 1 short) on dilian plant.... other than C-4 spamming what is the best way? On Karkland I was even being as lame as standing on top of the building at square and dropping C-4 into the spawn....got a few kills that way, but still not enough..
December 19, 200519 yr Go to a 64 player Karkand and you get about 300 tickets. Lotsa time to get 13 kills. I have the veteran explosives and it wasn't really hard. Just keep blastin and you'll get it. Now, the 37 kills for expert might be a little hard. I'll let ya know.
December 19, 200519 yr I agree with Klink...however I still need mine! LOL I also need a little help with knife tactics....
December 19, 200519 yr well u can combo. mix it up with claymores, c4 and mines. on sharqi put claymores at the back of the tv station or even on the hills. do like hit and runs throwing claymores into enemy spawn areas and wait for them to blow em up. make sure u dont put the claymores next to each other or else they'll blow each other up. on maps with blackhawks just put 2 c4 on the flag pole and the rest around the flag. and thats it. just put mines where u think people will pass.
December 19, 200519 yr Author I agree with Klink...however I still need mine! LOL I also need a little help with knife tactics.... knife tactics: the range is farther than you think, just like the paddles, you can be over an arm length away. Best place to get knife kills is Sharuqai Peninsula either in the construction yard or on the hill by the TV station. If you're just going for the badge and not doing anything else just run around with a knife and camp for snipers only takes about 10 mins to find 7 people not paying attention. Thanks for the help guys..I'll work on it tonight...
December 19, 200519 yr Make SURE you are a Squad Leader!!!!!!! Have the Commander drop a supply box near you to get more Explosives and heal. This helps a lot!
December 19, 200519 yr More good points by Flip and Mac. Go as sniper and lay some clays, then go as engineer and drop some AT mines. When you have put these in good spots ( high traffic areas ) then go back to C4. If you are lucky enough to get a commander to listen to you in another server you can get the ammo crate. About the knife, I find it near impossible to get 18 knife kills, the most I can get is 10 and that takes me the whole map. Everyone just shoots you or randomly nades you and it gets frustrating. I have a feeling all the gold medal knifers got theirs in those old farming servers.
December 20, 200519 yr its much harder to lay mines around and expect to get kills thanks to 1.03. now anyone can blow up mines reliatively easily. Its probably easier to drop it right behind/ in front of a tank or apc.
December 21, 200519 yr Dammit I got 15 knife kills today on one round and was getting constantly naded. Dontcha think if you see a guy jumping up and down with a knife you would pull out a knife. NO. M203 him. Wow how sad that is.
December 21, 200519 yr DiAzzurri I got 15 knife kills today in a round and it was looking good for expert then all of a sudden every nub started M203ing me. You'll get the 7 easy just go all knife no gun for a few rounds and it will come to ya. When they start shooting prone at their feet and stab you will get the kill. Man, I was laying amongst 4 dead enemies and a medic showed up and he revive them and I knifed them and got 5 in a row like that. So, it's luck also, right place at the right time.
December 21, 200519 yr I don't blame them. If I see a knifer. Bye Bye. I want to go on to the next kill. I am not into dueling. Now if we expend our main clips and use our pistols up and we each pull out our knifes. So be it but I want to keep going.
December 25, 200519 yr Author FINALLY got the badge..and when I say it was down to the wire, there were 3 tickets left in the round, I drove my suicide buggy into a tank and boom.. you killed.... you killed.... you killed.... badge notification went off the instant the round was over...there must have been a tank driver, gunner and engy all close by... now on to the knife badge and helicoptor badge..although I'm gonna have some people ticked when I fly around the heli for 15 mins doing nothing but running and hiding since I cant fly well.
December 26, 200519 yr I got 35 C4's in one round on Karkand. Then, the map ended and I cried. Haven't come close since.
December 26, 200519 yr Hey look what I got for Christmas from some German server today. Go as Commander not for the supplies but for the UAV. Awesome you just watch the red dots from behind the fence and chuck C4 over and BOOM This was done with a 150 ping also and on the first try today after I tried for 4 hours on Friday. /monthly_06_2011/post-582-130810178667_thumb.jpg

GG Klink....I got the explosive and basic and veteran knife all tonight..
December 26, 200519 yr GG Klink....I got the explosive and basic and veteran knife all tonight.. GG to you too! The next one is a bugger 18 kills hard to get.
December 26, 200519 yr Author GG to you too! The next one is a bugger 18 kills hard to get. if its as easy as this 7 came, 18 will be cake...I just stayed around temple and got all 7 within 2 mins..
December 26, 200519 yr Where is this temple you speak of? Also, it might have been luck. I find that you have to get the perfect map size and perfect amount of players and have the map not end. Maybe I suck. I'll get 10 kills in about 5 minutes then suffer for 20 with nothing because all the tanks and m203 mow you down and then the map ends.
December 26, 200519 yr Author oh great....I'm supposed to remember MAP names now?!? I dont rememeber the name, and with a little searching I could find it, but heres the best I can do at the moment. Temple Wood Yard Market Power Plant Vista Docks those are some of the CPs there, and its a China map... Yeah, it was mostly luck, since I kept knifing the same 3 guys over and over again...2 snipers and a AT...
December 26, 200519 yr its a speacial forces map..we were playing it the other day, the name slipped my mind.
December 26, 200519 yr Mass Destruction. I didn't know knife kills counted on SPec Forces toward the same medals.
December 26, 200519 yr Author no no its not a SF map.....damnit, you're gonna make me go find the name...

Congrats Klink on finally getting it. Now I don't have to hear you complain about trying to get the badge
