Account creation
I do recommend making an account for the purpose of saving progress. The game is also available, with achievements, on Kongregate and Newgrounds so if you happen to play there, you can log in and all achievements will be awarded retroactively (also works with Steam if you came from said platforms).

The setup, we will be using. The changes noted in later sections are changes according to this initial setup.

Local play setup, top to bottom
- select LOCAL PLAY in the menu
- select Firing Range as the map
- set Races to Humans Only (much less hp, easier to kill)
- change amount of bots to 1
- set Bot Skill to Easy
- set Respawn Time to 1 Second

This way, you will be playing a tiny map with only one easy bot. Note: the bot can spawn with sniper, mines or other OP weapon that can one hit you from a distance. Just restart the game if it bothers you.

You will be playing tons of games with this setup. To make the FIrst Blood achievements less grindy, try to start with killing the bot once.

There are three achievements for capturing the flag: 10, 50 and 100.
For First Bloods it is 5, 50 and 100.

If you need First Bloods as well use this setup:
- select Capture the Flag gamemode
- set score to 1

Strategy: kill the bot, capture the flag and restart game. Repeat 100 times.

If you DON'T need First Bloods, use this setup:
- select Capture the Flag gamemode
- set Time Limit to 30 minutes or None
- set Score Limit to 50
- set amount of bots to 0

Strategy: just run back and forth 50 times. Repeat twice.
Note: this is also a decent XP farm, yielding about 40,000 xp in 10 minutes.

Both sets of achievement require 10, 50 and 100.

- select Destruction gamemode
- set game time to 30 minutes

Strategy: You DON'T play to win. Plant your bombs and LEAVE. Stay out of reach of the bot so they will go and plant their own bomb and/or defuse yours (so you can plant again). You will likely get the Bomb Planter achievements first. Then stop planting so the bot focuses on planting (so you can defuse). You may need to kill if the bot stays at one of his bases.

Btw, when defusing you often need to kill. I did it with melee as you need 250 melee kills anyway.

To get an avenge, you need to kill a bot who RECENTLY killed a teammate. You need 10, 50 and 100 of those.

- select Team Deathmatch gamemode
- set Time Limit to 30 minutes
- set Score Limit to 300
- change amount of bots to 12

Strategy: ONLY attack if you can avenge (i.e. somebody died), otherwise let the bots to the fighting. This is somewhat luck based as your team (despite the 5 to 6 odds) might dominate the other team.

Note: also a decent kill farm setup

To get Melee and Killer, you can play with a lot of easy bots like so:

- select Free-for-All, Team Deathmatch or Capture the Flag as gamemode
- set Time Limit to 30 minutes
- set Score Limit to maximum (300 or 50)
- change amount of bots to 12

Strategy (for melee): To attack with melee, select your melee weapon (3), get close and click in direction of an enemy. It has cooldown though and powerful weapons such as shotgun or sniper will get you killed. But this allows revenge farming too.

Important note: You CAN'T attack with anything if you are sprinting! You have to stop sprinting just before you reach the enemy.

For Revenge, you need to kill an enemy, that has killed you.

- select Team Deathmatch gamemode
- set game time to 30 minutes

Strategy: Let the bot kill you, then respawn and kill him. Repeat 100 times.
Note: if you need melee kills, you can practice here as it is only 1 bot.

Recruit. Simply complete the tutorial from the main menu.

Road Rage. Use the vechicle in the top of Firing Range. Drive it close to the bot, shoot him to under 50% and run him over with the vechicle.

Chain Reaction. In Firing Range, you can find small red barrels in some corners. Drive an enemy close to one of them and shoot the barrel. It has quite a large explosion range.

Medic. Got this by accident as Assault class, with Stim Shot equipped by default (on F key). Play Team Deathmatch with some bots, get close to a wounded ally and press F on him.

Stunned to Death. You need to unlock a stun/flashbang grenade first. This requires grenade xp so get some M67 Frag kills first (default grenade).

M84 Stun for 1 shard is an easy option for this achievement – better than Flashbang as it deals much more damage and explodes quickly. Damage a bot to low HP and throw the M84 at him. I did this with the Avenger 12 bot setup to maximize chances.

Fish in a Barrel. Play with 12 bots, wait for one to enter the vechicle. Shoot at HIM (center), not the vechicle.

Drive By. Play Team Deathmatch with 12 bots, wait for one to enter the vechicle and then claim it's second spot. You shoot with your own weapons (in case you have melee equipped). Kill an enemy.

Here we use the fact that bots fight on your side:

- select Dino/Militia/Chaos Survival gamemode
- change amount of bots to 2
- set bot skill on God

Strategy: The bots will do most of the killing and can almost boost you through the whole thing. Beware of Velociraptors (Dino Survival 5) as they kill even God bots easily. Stay with your bots against them. The bots do kill Juggernauts/Helicopters easily though.

Other survival achievements:

Heli Hater. Play Militia Survival without any bots and kill the lone helicopter on wave 3. Get it to low HP and kill with your melee weapon.

Juggernaut Beatdown. This is probably the most difficult achievement in the game. Juggernauts are hard to approach and deal a lot of damage. As God bots kill them easily, I had to lower the bots to Hard to slow their damage. When the juggernaut get low on HP, storm it with your melee weapon. As you probably only get one chance, try to get a 300 damage weapon for this.

Prestige is the achievement, you will use most of your time to get in this game, probably 70-80%.

You need to reach rank 100 and have 10 shards. You prestige from your profile.

The best method I have found is the CTF one. There are two versions:

1) Play without bots and just run back and forth, awards (as said) about 40,000 xp for 50 flags/10 minutes play. Run with melee as it is much faster.
2) Play with the standard 1 bot on easy and kill him on route back and forth. This awards additional XP for killer, flag return and flag carrier ribbons (every fifth of such kill). As such the total amount of XP will be about 55,000 which is approx. one rank each game.

Notes (for version 2):
- using healing gives 50 xp
- killing the bot with melee gives 150 xp (instead of 100)
- you can throw your grenade so with good aim you might score kills without stopping. The bot doesn't actively avoid them.

Bugs. At the moment of writing this, there is a bug on version 2. If the bot enters a vechicle, sometimes your flag with spawn there endlessly (even if you return it), until the bot/vechicle is gone. While this is an endless Return flag XP farm, it is probably not recommended to use such glitches in multiplayer games, even in local play.
