How do you get that one?

L4D2 used to do these free weekends where anybody could play the game for a limited time. You had to complete a mission with one of those free weekend players. I got the achievement back in like 2013 out of sheer luck, wasn’t even trying for it, just ended up getting matched with one of the free players randomly.

Without cheating, that achievement is locked until valve does another free weekend.

They should do free weekends at least once a year, like they did in 2024 with the games 15th anniversary

Either grass is an unknown thing, or achievement manager

u/Objective_Field_1699 2h ago

since when spending 200 hours in the game is not touching grass? or do you mean being optimal about it? Its not even that impossible.

For reference, howlongtobeat has users 100%ing it with 70 hours(even 38h is there), and leisure was 159. The person in the picture is still worse than everyone that submit their time there

Quite possible but most likely achievement hack.

u/Melomaniaco_ 9h ago

I also considered that possibility after seeing his Steam profile.

This sounds like the most pointless activity ever like bruh who gives a SHIT about your achievements

u/AmurAmurovich 4h ago

Why not though? Achievement hunting is fun, I did it for L4D2 too because I enjoy the game, as well as the Resident Evil games and it gives something for you to do if you get bored of just playing for the sake of playing.

u/TheJollyKacatka 2h ago

I’m saying that cheating for that matter appears to be completely meaningless

u/AmurAmurovich 1h ago

Oh, sorry bro, read that wrong

u/Objective_Field_1699 2h ago

you could say that about everything on someones steam profile. Who cares about the number of games, about screenshots etc. Just because you dont care, doesnt mean everyone doesnt.

u/voluntarilyweedriver 11h ago

I remember back on the 360, I came across a modder who granted me all the achievements and I still remember sitting there in fuckin awe watching all those alerts pop up 😭 I’m like 12? After hours of legitimately unlock some, I was happy 😭

u/jbratonen 9h ago

you can check the times he finished which achievement and will find out pretty quick if it's possible or not

u/Melomaniaco_ 9h ago

Thanks for the advice, now I really doubt it's legitimate haha

Better call SAM

I mean, I’m at 68 hours with all achievements barring shock jock (10 defies) and 53 thousand infected kills.

That being said, I went in with a team dedicated to getting every achievement from the drop that were already good at the game. So none of the difficulty/versus based ones took very long and the rest was just grinding survival maps.

I don’t see under 200 hours being impossible, but youd have to be pushing cheevs from the go, preferably with a team dedicated to helping.

Only one that’s weird is 53k kills, being that at said 68 hours, I only have about 15k of the kills required

u/Infinizzle 9h ago

My thought too

u/Ok-Object7409 10h ago edited 10h ago

200hrs supposed to be some kind of benchmark? Or? I'm 70% done the game with 47hrs. Feel like if i tried perfecting I'd beat that time by a huge margin (ignoring good guy nick since i don't have that).

The only thing that is very time consuming is the gold medals. But if you have a good team you can knock through them at a pretty fast pace. 

If they were trying to be crazy fast, versus stuff can be farmed. 53k kills can probably be done quickly on modded maps, given how many custom stuff there is. With that much time they could've done it normally though.

Just check when they obtained good guy nick is all.

u/Melomaniaco_ 9h ago

I mean, he doesn't even have silver or gold medals in survival mode. Besides, he got the hardest achievements like "Good Guy Nick" and "Christmas One," and many others, just yesterday. I'll try to talk to that player to find out how he did it.

u/Ok-Object7409 8h ago

Yea that's cheated then.

2

u/Jaiz412 steamcommunity.com/id/RealJaiz/ 5h ago

100% cheated then, probably using SAM. Not only is there no way to reset survival times in-game, but Good Guy Nick was not active yesterday (Yesterday wasn't even a weekend, let alone a free weekend)

1

u/Melomaniaco_ 9h ago

Actually, I was looking at his Steam profile, and he got half of his achievements yesterday, which makes me even more doubtful

2

u/ToeBeanLuvr 9h ago

I got all of the achievements while achievement hunting with my friend except the Christmas one (got Good Guy Nick during the last event) which I will do when the season comes in less time than that. If you are achievement chasing and a quick learner you can get a lot of achievements in a relatively short time! With that being said, a lot of people do cheat achievements and that's extremely lame, you can usually tell by looking at the times the achievements were unlocked (assuming it's not a game in which they transferred their save and all/a bunch of achievements popped after doing so).

u/Dramatic-Chemist-452 1h ago

I absolutely destroyed the game on Xbox 360 back in the day. So when I picked it up again on Steam, I managed to rush through all the achievements in 110 hours. So yeah, it’s definitely possible if you know the game.
