greetings, everyone. i have created a plan along with br4t to get the "i like those odds" and "predator paragon" achievements. i am pretty sure we have all had problems with these 2. for the "i like those odds" achievement, 4 people (all elites), must be taken out without a head on confrrontation by the hero. the plan is to just let one of the heroes put some explosive gel down, let 4 people buddy up on the gel and detonate it. make sure not to look at the gel! this will give the aforementioned hero the achievement. repeat for the other hero. if intimidation rises above 50% the heroes are allowed to be shot until it drops to an acceptable level (10-20%).
however, the "predator paragon" will need more precise work. each elite needs to be taken out in a different way by a hero. i am not sure if gadgets count, let's hope so.
the ways we will use are as follows:
1. silent takedown, let the hero walk up from behind and he will take you down silently.
2. knock-out smash takedown, begins as a silent takedown but when the hero presses the left mouse button while doing this he will knock his victim out in one blow.
3. gel takedown, you know the drill.
4. inverted takedown, an elite will have to position himself beneath a gargoyle so the hero can take him out from above.
5. grate takedown, one elite will have to stand on a grate. it's one of those things on the floor heroes hide in. stand on it and the hero in the grate can take him down from below.
6. ledge takedown, position yourself beneath a ledge. a hero standing above should be able to perform a hanging ledge takedown. he will choke you while hanging down.
i will create a private match and invite you. br4t will post the date.
i am not sure if the gadgets or knockout smash count. we'll just have to see.
looking forward to doing this. let's make it work.
