A burning Thing achievement in Brink

~#~ A Burning Thing ~#~

This achievement requires you to score a kill with the soldiers Napalm Grenade. (You can kill either a human player or a bot, it doesn't matter.)

First of all, you'll need to purchase the Napalm Grenade skill and equip it to one of your D-Pad buttons. With that done, it's a simple case of finding the most effective spots to employ your new incendiary.

Now, napalm grenades can be basically described as a combination between a Molotov Cocktail and a Caltrop Grenade. It is thrown in a similar arc to the Molotov, explodes on contact like a Molotov, and leaves a flaming damaging residue, similar to (yet more visible than) Caltrops.

I would recommend attempting to Napalm Grenade a weakened, standing enemy. Use your Napalm Grenade like a Molotov Cocktail and you'll have this achievement in no time,

~ Hirsute Dave ~ also recommends using the Napalm Grenade on players who are close to walls - the knockdown and splash will floor enemies in the area-of-effect, for an easy confirmed. Thanks Dave!

If you want to boost this achievement, it is one of the simpler achievements to boost. You require only one friend. Simply meet up in a Private Freeplay match (Min/Max players 1v1), fire at your enemy to weaken half their health or so, then Napalm them quickly after. Simply set up a Private Freeplay match with 1 Minimum/Maximum players.

Edit: I can only assume the negative is because I'm extolling the use of these grenades like Mollies. Just to be clear - the Napalm grenade is more than capable of killing a full-health player. It just relies on them being dense enough to remain in the Area-Of-Effect until they die - like a Pyro Mine. Shooting them a little first just removes this choice from their hands.

Pretty simple achievement to get, but I think it's sad you had to make an edit like that. I mean come one people he explained how to get this pretty well. Hate it when people thumb down a good guide. Just thought I give ya some positive feedback buddy :)

Yeah just make sure you have it readied, soften someone up with your gun and let them have it. Even better if they're up against a wall as the knockdown should drop them into the napalm.

Thanks all ^_^

I garnered a lot of disapproval by putting up these achievement guides a few hours before they were attainable. I suspect that could also be where these Negs are coming from.

So does it 'have' to be another player (XBL) and not a bot?

It's been a while but I'm fairly certain you can get this against a bot. Will confirm and update solution, thanks Tezdread!

I can also confirm that it does not have to be an xbl-player

All the kill achievements can be done against bots. Its the only way. The game is like 99% bots.

You missed an important point. You can only get this ability if you're rank 5, which I wasn't when I attempted this achievement.
