My Difficulty estimates, and ideas for getting each and every Heavy Achievement

I'll do them in order of following the Left Column, and then the Right Column downward as listed on the K.G.B. + Achievements Screen
Difficulty and Time done on a 10 points scale.  (not an average)

Note: The ratings and tips are assuming you're playing in a way to try to help your team as best you can through many different methods.

Iron Kurtain - Take 1000 points of damage in a single life.
Difficulty: 3  Time: 5.5  Tip: Just play as Heavy and eventually this'll come up if you're at all good at knowing when to retreat.

Party Loyalty - Kill 50 Enemies within 3 seconds of them attacking your Medic
Diffuculty: 2  Time: 6.5  Tip: Protect your Medic and this'll slowly build up.

Division of Labor - Kill 20 Enemies with a Medic assisting you, where neither of you Die.
Difficulty: 9 Time: 8.5  Tip: Get some good skills as Heavy, and find a Medic with skills of his own.

Red Octoberfest - Earn a Domination for a Medic who's healing you.
Difficulty: 1.5 Time: 3.5  Tip: This'll just happen naturally.  Just get kills while being healed.

Show Trial - Kill an Enemy with a Taunt.
Difficulty: 5.5 Time: 4.5  Tip: Humiliation is a chance to get this.  Otherwise just get behind somebody immobile and unaware of you...as a Heavy, this might take some time.

Crime and Punishment - Kill 10 Enemies carrying your Intelligence
Difficulty: 2.5 Time: 5  Tip: Just play any fast paced CTF map (no Valve ones so far) and this'll come easy.

Class Struggle - Work with a Friendly Medic to kill a Heavy-Medic pair.
Difficulty: 1.5 Time: 2  Tip: Even playing heavy badly, this is a cinch that'll be a piece of cake during the Heavy rush; and a simple matter thereafter.

Soviet Block - While invulnerable and on defense, block an invulnerable enemy Heavy's movement.
Difficulty: 2 Time: 4  Tip: Play Dustbowl on Red, and this'll be a simple matter.

Stalin the Cart - Block the enemy from moving the payload cart 25 times.
Difficulty: 1.5 Time: 5  Tip: Just get next to the Cart while it's being pushed.  Very easy to do early on in each section of either VALVe Payload map; as they both have a number of good places to jump down from.

Supreme Soviet - Get Ubered 50 times.
Difficulty: 2.5 Time: 9.5  Tip: If you look good then this'll move a bit quicker.  This is just something you'll pick up from playing alot of Heavy.

Factory Worker - Kill 20 Enemies while being recharged by a dispenser.
Difficulty: 1.5 Time: 3.5  Tip: Get an engineer to set up a dispenser somewhere nice...and shoot...while standing next to the dispenser...with enemies in your crosshair...

Soviet Union - Get 25 enemy kills when you either assist, or are assisted by another Heavy.
Difficulty: 2 Time: 6.5  Tip: Just partner up with another Heavy and go...

Own the Means of Production - Get rid of 20 Sticky Bombs by killing the Demomen who produced them.
Difficulty: 3.5 Time: 4.5  Tip: Just don't get blown up.

Krazy Ivan - Kill 100 Enemies while both you and your Victim are Underwater
Difficulty: 3.5 Time: 10  Tip: Unless your playing the Troll under the Bridge in 2Fort, this one's going to take a LONG time...

Rasputin - In a single life, get shot, burned, bludgeoned, and receive explosive damage.
Difficulty: 3 Time: 6  Tip: Pretty similar to Iron Kurtain; though it'll probably take a bit longer.

Icing on the Cake - Get 20 kills on players that you're Dominating
Difficulty: 7.5 Time: 7  Tip: Get good enough to commonly Dominate as Heavy; then just pick it up as you go.

Crock Block - Survive a Direct Hit from a Critical Rocket
Difficulty: 1 Time: 6.5  Tip: Nothing much you can do but try to have high health alot.

Kollectivization - Get 1000 Assists
Difficulty: 2 Time: 8.5  Tip: I'm not sure if you can build this from getting kills where you're assisted...anyways, it's going to be quite the grind.

Spyalectical Materialism - Kill or assist in killing 10 cloaked spies.
Difficulty: 3.5 Time: 4.5  Tip: Look around a bit every now and then.

Permanent Revolution - Kill 5 enemies without spinning down your gun.
Difficulty: 4 Time: 6  Tip: Perfect to do along with Factory Worker...just sit next to a dispenser and play sentry.

Heavy Industry - Fire $200,000 worth of minigun rounds in a single life.
Note: Just watch "Meet the Heavy"...I say nothing more here...

Communist Mani-Fisto - Kill an enemy with a critical punch.
Difficulty: 3.5 Time: 4  Tip: ummm...Punch?  (Actually, this should be pretty easy on the vertically focused "Badwater Basin"; just jump down from above and knock the snot outta them.)

Redistribution of Health - Heal 1000 damage with med-kits in a single life.
Difficulty: 5.5  Time: 6  Tip: Pretty much the same thing as "Iron Kurtain" only harder.

Rationing - Kill an enemy with your shotgun while you're out of minigun ammo.
Difficulty: 2.5 Time: 4  Tip: Not a problem as long as you've got some health...and a lack of minigun ammo.

Vanguard Party - Be the first on your team to start capturing a control point in a round.
Difficulty: 1.5 Time: 7  Tip: Just have to wait until it happens pretty much; shouldn't be too hard on granary.

Pushkin the Kart - Get 50 caps on payload maps.
Difficulty: 2.5 Time: 7  Tip: Just play Payload maps enough for it to happen; and make sure to stay near the cart while pushing through.

Marxman - Kill 10 enemies in mid-air with the minigun.
Difficulty: 3.5 Time: 7.5  Tip: Keep an eye on any enemy Soldiers; lest they Rocket Jump without you getting a chance to fire at them.  Natascha should be good for this.

Gorky Parked - Kill 25 enemies while you're standing on a control point you own.
Difficulty: 2.5 Time: 6.5  Tip: Set yourself up on a friendly point (hopefully with a dispenser), and do some simple defense.

Purge - Kill 15 enemies capturing a control point you own.
Difficulty: 3 Time: 5.5  Tip: Just be ready to protect any nearby points of your team's that could be attacked anytime soon.

Lenin A Hand - Help 5 teammates get revenge on their nemeses.
Difficulty: 1.5 Time: 7  Tip: Basically just plain luck...with a bit of a boost if you've got a Medic. (incase they're dominated that is)

Five Second Plan - Kill an enemy in the first 5 seconds after you exit a teleporter.
Note: Not sure if you can go through a tele and stay revved or not...
Difficulty: 3.5 Time: 6.5  Tip: Be ready to attack after you teleport...nothing much to it but that.

Photostroika - Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you taunting while invulnerable.
Note: Do this after wiping out an entire group, or in humiliation...otherwise your a griefer.
Difficulty: 2 Time: 7.5  Tip: Know what the taunt key is and be ready to use it when you need to.

Konspicuous Konsumption - Eat 100 sandviches.
Difficulty: ? Time: ?  Tip: Yum.

Don't Touch Sandvich - Kill 50 scouts using Natascha.
Difficulty: 2.5 Time: 6.5  Tip: Just play with "Natascha", and you'll pick this one up in time.

Borscht Belt - Kill 10 heavies with The K.G.B.
Difficulty: 4.5 Time: 6.5  Tip: This could actually be a realistic thing to do while ubered...have to wait and see just how good the KGBs are.

Note: Finished writing this before; guess it didn't process right when I posted the edit.

Heavy Industry: simple simple simple, bitch

Ahhh!  Finally done!  I might come back and edit it once I've gotten some experience trying to get these.

Enjoy!

At least it looks it will take longer to get all 3 upgrades then the Pyros. Maybe an hour instead of 30min :3

Soviet Block - While invulnerable and on defense, block an invulnerable enemy Heavy's movement.

Could this mean Natascha will prevent a revved heavy from moving?

This is kind of off topic but will you be able to farm the achievements on a created server? Or maybe that was patched.

Still when I first looked through them there are a ton that are easily farmed with only 1 or 2 other people. As for in an actual server, they seem pretty doable except maybe the punching ones. Go to an all melee server for those.

Maybe it's the fact that I play Heavy extensively, but I'm viewing all of these achievements as easy to get except for a very small amount.

The hardest ones, in my opinion are:
Soviet Union :: Getting assists or helping another Heavy kill is rare in an actual match.  Normal setups for a team have a single Heavy, or two heavys handling two different areas.  Thankfully this'll be easy to get right after the achievements come out due to the 99.9% Heavy population that'll exist.

Rasputin :: This means you need to fight 4 different weapon types over the course of a single life.  If you're playing it safe and keeping alive that might seem easy...but you need to get bludgeoned?! That's melee only isn't it?  And the only reason someone goes after you with melee is sheer desperation or confidence in being able to take you out.  I'm just expecting this'll be one of those "Oh but I got 3 of the 4! NOO I DIED!" types.

Kollectivization :: Assists? HEAVY DOES NOT ASSIST! HEAVY DOMINATES!

Five Second Plan :: In my entire career as Heavy I've done this maybe 2 to 4 times.

Easiest way: obtain a heavy achievement map, make bot and get it in 15 minutes. But i think new weapon is pretty useless.

In case anyone couldn't tell, I was joking about Kollect being hard to get for Heavy.  Often a Heavy will have 1/2 to 1/4 assists versus his kill(So with 4 kills he has 1 assist minimum, normally).


The easiest one to get is going to be Heavy Industry.
Heavy Industry: Fire $200,000 worth of minigun rounds in a single life.


According to the Heavy Weapons video this can be done in 6 seconds, as he comments that it costs 400,000 dollars to fire it for twelve seconds.

I'm kinda sad to not see a 1,000,000 points of damage. Or something more along the lines of $1,000,000,000,000 worth of bullets fired. So will stats carry over? Like, lest say i have already killed 20 people with my medic and we both didn't die, will I automatically get the achievement? This is the first time i will be trying to get achievements (never play medic or pyro)
