    Locked 07 Oct 2014 07 Oct 2014
    There are a total of 18 ribbons to be earned in multi-player. They are as follows:

    - Kill 5 enemies while aiming down the sights of a rifle
    - Kill 3 enemies with traps
    - Get 3 testicle shots
    - Kill an enemy by shooting TNT or a Mine
    - Kill 3 enemies over 150m away while scoped
    - Get the match winning shot
    - Kill 5 enemies with a semi-automatic sniper rifle
    - Get 3 tag assists
    - Kill 5 enemies without dying
    - Kill 3 enemies with grenades
    - Kill a sprinting target while scoped
    - Kill 7 enemies with an SMG or Pistol
    - Complete a match without dying
    - Kill 5 enemies while in empty lung
    - Have the longest shot in a match
    - Get 5 headshots
    - Kill 5 enemies with a bolt action sniper rifle
    - Perform 3 consecutive kill streaks without dying

    NOTE: The requirements for each of these ribbons, must be met in a single competitive match. They do NOT stack between matches. All of these ribbons except one can be boosted with a friend in a private boosting match. I will give you examples of how to do each ribbon below:

    No Scope
    Kill 5 enemies while aiming down the sights of a rifle

    For this, press the cn_LT only about halfway. You will see your crosshairs, but will not enter the scoped view. Take your shots and make your kills from this view.

    Trapper
    Kill 3 enemies with traps

    Traps are considered to be Trip Wire, S-Mine or Land Mines. Make sure that your loadout contains the traps, lay them down and have your boosting partner run through them. Repeat 2 more times for this ribbon.

    Castrato
    Get 3 testicle shots

    This is the very obvious ribbon. Just get your boosting partner to stand in front of you, aim with your rifle (I'm sure you can figure out the correct area) and shoot. Repeat 2 more times.

    Demolition Man
    Kill an enemy by shooting TNT or a Mine

    In order to get this ribbon, you must lay down a mine or dynamite and shoot it while your partner stands near it. Note that the Mine or Dynamite must be YOURS! You cannot shoot a Mine or Dynamite that your partner has put down and get the ribbon, it must be from your own loadout!

    Long Distance Killer
    Kill 3 enemies over 150m away while scoped

    Pretty self explanatory. Have your partner move 150+m away from you and take your shot. You can use your binoculars to tag your partner and see their exact distance from you. I found this easiest on the Airfield map, since you have a straight view all the way down the runway.

    One Bullet Cam...
    Get the match winning shot

    This ribbon is for getting the game winning kill. This can be stacked with other ribbons as well. Easiest to just create a match to 100 points, kill your partner until the match ends to get this.

    Semi-Automatic Specialist
    Kill 5 enemies with a semi-automatic sniper rifle

    This is for getting kills with a semi-auto sniper rifle. Those rifles are the M1 Garand or the Gewehr 43.

    Tagger
    Get 3 tag assists

    This ribbon is for tagging an enemy that your partner then kills. You can tag by hitting cn_RSc to enter your binoculars. You can then use cn_up or cn_down to zoom in and out and cn_RT to then tag the enemy.
    This is the only ribbon that cannot be done in a 2 player match as a 3rd person is required to be in the match to be tagged/killed. Minimum of 3 players required for this ribbon.

    Kill Streak
    Kill 5 enemies without dying

    Pretty self explanatory as well. Kill your partner 5 times without them killing you.

    Grenadier
    Kill 3 enemies with grenades

    For this one, simply kill your partner 3 times with grenades. Since you can only have 2 in a loadout at any given time, kill your partner twice, have them kill you so that you respawn and again, kill your partner with a 3rd grenade. I found it easiest to damage my partner with the Welrod, to make sure that the damage from the grenade actually kills my partner. Aim by pressing and holding cn_RB. Now just release to throw the grenade at your partners feet.

    Sprinter
    Kill a sprinting target while scoped

    Have your partner stand in front of you, scope in on them and have them start sprinting towards you before you take the shot. Easiest if you set the game to 'One Shot Kills'

    Operative
    Kill 7 enemies with an SMG or a Pistol

    Just use your Welrod or SMG to get 7 kills on your partner.

    Survivalist
    Complete a match without dying

    Straight forward ribbon. You must survive an entire match without dying. This is very easily accomplished in a private boosting match with a partner.

    Steady Aim
    Kill 5 enemies while in empty lung

    Another straight forward ribbon. Enter the scoped view with your rifle and go into Empty Lung by pushing down cn_LSc. Time will slow and you will see your breathing bar decrease. Take your shots during this time.

    Longest Shot
    Have the longest shot in a match

    Easy ribbon to get. You can combine this with Long Distance Killer. You will know that you have the longest shot in the match by checking the leaderboard, where it will signify that status by having a skull inside crosshairs, near your name.

    Head Hunter
    Get 5 headshots

    Just simply get 5 headshots in a match. This is most easily done in a private boosting session with a partner and can be combined with other ribbons.

    Bolt-Action Specialist
    Kill 5 enemies with a bolt-action sniper rifle

    The two bolt-action sniper rifles are the Carcano and the Lee-Enfield. Simply get 5 kills with either of these for the ribbon.

    Streaker
    Perform 3 consecutive kill streaks without dying

    A kill streak is considered to be 5 kills in a row without dying. This one is a little tricky and can be done several ways. You can either choose to get a kill streak of 5, have your partner kill you and get 2 more kill streaks. Or, if you get a straight kill streak of 15, which is very easy in a boosting session with a partner, it should unlock this way as well. This can be a weird one, so if it does not unlock upon completing a 15 kill streak, try 5, dying, 5, dying and 5 more to get the ribbon.

    Most, if not all of these ribbons can be done in a single private match with a partner. We set the game score to 1000 and just went at it, going down the list one at a time. As stated earlier, the only one requiring a 3rd person is the one involving Tag Assists,

    HyacinthHouse71You may want to add to your description of the One Bullet Cam... ribbon that it is to 100 points, not 100 kills and can be accomplished in 3 or 4 kills. I thought before I tried it that it would be to 100 kills, which is a completely different story. Good solution, though.

    EarthboundXStreaker has to be done all at once, without dying. Tried the get 5 kills in a row three times in one match, didn't work.

    Has to be 15 kills without dying.
