Kill an enemy with a tossed keg.
 
Kill 500 enemies with the keg


'''Difficulty:''' Hard
'''Difficulty:''' Very Easy


'''How To''': You have to light a keg and throw it at an enemy. Try hitting your enemy a couple of times and when he is About To Be Pushing Up The Daisies, light your keg and throw it at them.
'''How to:''' Rather than using the keg at the start of a fight to scatter and distract enemies, hopefully making them more susceptible to your teammates (and each other) use it during a fight to obliterate weakened enemies. If you kill yourself with the explosion, you'll respawn with a new keg so you can blow your enemies up again, and again, and again, and again...
The easiest way is to throw the keg at an Archer who is About To Be Pushing Up The Daisies.

'''How To:''' Try to throw your keg into enclosed spaces, like the throne room in Island (preferably at the start of the round, when there are lots of people there). Also easy to get on territory maps, due to people being crammed together in small spaces.
'''How to:''' If you can persuade a ranged class to fight fair against your cutlass, cut them to ribbons and shoot them in the face for their trouble. Berserkers can't reach you without a special and haven't got a shield to block your shot. Gestirs and Men-at-Arms have shields so you might want to surprise them by drawing the pistol during a roll, just in case they really want to block you from getting this achievement. When a Heavy Knight is About to be Pushing Up the Daises, he may have as much as 63ehp left. Not recommended.

'''How to:''' This one is pretty hard. You should try to throw the keg into areas where there are huge amounts of people. It's easier to get this on Territory and Deathmatch maps. Same strategy as Keg Stand.
'''How to:''' Co-ordinate with other Pirates to launch your explosives simultaneously (with yours lagging behind a little bit) on Trinket Wars maps where everybody will be indiscriminately engaged in combat with everybody else.

'''How To:''' Why go for silver when you can go for gold? Try to achieve Holy Hand Grenade Of Antioch instead.
 
'''How to:''' Use the keg actively. Like with the previous keg achievements, throw kegs into cramped spaces and crowds to get as many kills with each keg.

'''How to:''' Narrow spaces are best for this one, like the small cave in Island between Pirates and Vikings. Lurk around battling Vikings and Knights long enough, and eventually you'll find two weak enemies. Line them up and Lunge.
'''How to:''' If you failed to achieve Keg Stand by only weakening two enemies with your keg instead of killing them, finish them off with your special.
Otherwise, you can lunge into a crowd of enemies and hope you kill two people.

Fortunately, you can use your opponents' tendencey to retreat and resupply to your advantage. Hang around in areas with pick-ups, and light the keg when you hear combat nearby. You can't engineer the right circumstances with any reliability, but with some luck, you'll find somebody with 5hp or less to toss the keg at.


'''How to:''' Attack enemies as you usually would, but before killing them, let them hit you. Think twice before you let a large weapon take your head off, though.  
The keg will need a small amount of distance between the two of you to even let you throw it, but it will quickly lose momentum so stay close. It's also best if your opponent is moving directly at the keg, and at speed. If you fail, just stab the keg with the cutlass to respawn and start over.

Difficulty: Easy

How to: The ease with which one might rush to a territory or chest as a Skirmisher is undermined by enemies showing up shortly after to make things difficult, and teammates turning up to "help". The only territory map on which it is reasonable to attempt this achievement is Sandstorm, while on the booty maps, it's completely down to your determination to snatch up a chest. On the maps with locked chests, spend the start of the round charging your special so you can recover a chest post-haste.

Kill an enraged Berserker with your pistol.

Difficulty: Intermediate

How to: A raging Berserker is one of the few things that you can't quite outrun, so this is actually somewhat dangerous. The simple act of enraging himself bestows +50hp on the madman, which your flintlock won't take off in one shot. You'll either need at least two shots, which is unreliable and slow considering the beast bearing down on you, or to first slash him with the cutlass once or twice. If he's About to be Pushing Up the Daises, one shot will finish him off (unless he still has armour).

Fortunately, you can use your opponents' tendencey to retreat and resupply to your advantage. Hang around in areas with pick-ups, and light the keg when you hear combat nearby.
