[!] You must capture 2 flags from the enemy capture zone over the course of the game, you do NOT have to capture both within one flag reset [but you can].
[!] This does NOT have to be done on a defiant map [but can be].
This is how you do it legit for if/when they patch the custom games...|> Load up team objective [preferably] or BTB and vote for a Stockpile game variant
{All three of the defiant dlc achievements can be won in the team objective playlist}
- Once in a matchmaking Stockpile game, make your way over to the enemy capture zone [a glowing ring on the opposite side of the map from where you spawn].
- Wait for the enemy team to drop a flag into their capture zone and walk away to get more.
- Then, like a ninja, pop out and take said flag by standing over it and holding (X) [by default] and take it all the way back to YOUR team's capture zone near where you originally spawned.
- Now it's your decision;
either hold the flag until the timer reaches 5 seconds and then drop it in the cap zone, beating down any enemies while you wait
[OR]
drop it in the cz straight away and then gaurd it with your amazing skills
[OR]
try your luck by droppping it in the cz and going for the second straight away - trusting your teammates to gaurd it or the enemy to simply not be interested in it [ill-advised].
^NB:
the first option will not mark your flag on the enemy players' HUDs whilst the second and third option will.
Your choice.
- Rinse and repeat once more and say hello to some gamerscore.
Poet and I don't know it?
Perhaps.
NOTE:~ You can also get a stockpile game variant in the SWAT playlist
~ Be wary of defensive players who camp near their base [usually with a shotgun] and pounce when you take one of their flags.
~ Don't fall for the classic n00b behaviour of mistaking the enemy's capture zone for your own and then massively helping the enemy team in doing so. Yours is the one you spawn near. You'd be suprised how often this happens.
~ The flag has an instakill melee ability so watch out for enemy flag carriers and use tight spaces to your advantage when you're carrying a flag yourself. Bait enemies in, dont run at them like a madman brandishing a flag as this will get your ass killed :)
Don't worry stockpile haters, this cheevo is much much easier than the 'You Ate All the Chips' one...
Hope this helps
Happy gaming
