How to unlock the Pistoleer achievement

    This achievement was really fun, for me! I would recommend using a Glock, and skip on the shield, because it's just going to slow you down. If you're good with burst fire, the Glock will get you maybe two or three kills per clip, aaaaaand *drumroll* YOU NEVER RUN OUT OF AMMO! Hells yeah. You've practically got an extra submachine gun at your hip.

    The Desert Eagle is also a decent, and a lot of fun, but if you're going to use it at distance, be sure to add the extended cartridge. Bigger is always better.

    Get it in campaign or get it in T-Hunt, but the campaign is way more engaging.

    Chosen One 41Weird, I've practically been exclusively using the Desert Eagle and I got the "Kill 500 terrorist achievement" but not this one

    Osmo76Seems "only a pistol" means you cannot wield a shield.

    I heard that u do not have to use the shield to kill a guy with a pistol or it will count as a shield-kill.

    if u use a shield dont shoot after using it to defense.

    I dont know why but i dont even get the achievement. i killed more than 500 terrorists and dont get it. when i was doing it ive tried the variation of SecondHALONICK so try my method and i think youll get it for sure.

    Just to make this perfectly clear ... you will not get the achievement if you always use the shield with the pistol.

    I played through the campaign and used a pistol from time to time. Eventually I picked up the shield and you better believe I used the pistol from behind that shield. I did not get the achievement at the end of the campaign. I then went through all of the Terrorist Hunt maps using the pistol and shield and did not get the achievement. Then I read various notes on the Internet and decided to play story mode using a pistol and having the shield equipped but not using it. The achievement popped after perhaps 5 kills.

    Maybe you need some number of pistol kills with or without the shield, and then some small number of pistols kills without the shield, or some consecutive number of pistol kills without firing from behind the shield. I don't know. This isn't the only achievement in this game with an erroneous description.

    Dr MartyI can confirm that: I played mostly with pistol and shield and didn't get the achievement, but then 5 kills with only pistol I received the achievement.
