How to unlock the Be the best achievement in Battlefield: Bad Company - Definitive Guide
Keep in mind that trophies earn you extra points, and patches earn you even more extra points. Plan an attack that will net you some one-time-only patches and earn them all in one match. I earned the Silver and Gold Assualt, the Bronze and Silver Support, and the Silver and Gold Specialist patches in one match and ended up with 3x the number 2 player.
As you gain skill, you'll find this one happening more and more often. As of this post, I have earned this trophy almost 50 times now.
You will too!
However, unlike most FPS which rely primarily or exclusively on kills (or kills-deaths), Battlefield have conquest mode which provides many more ways to score points than just kills.
Play Conquest mode, and use the Support class. Focus on capturing and defending flags as much as possible. Any kills you get while defending flags will get you defense bonuses.
In the process, use your medic kit to heal teammates (they show up as a red "+" on your mini map) and power tool to heal vehicles whenever possible.
As recommended above, the M60 for the support kit (M60 is unlockable by entering an unlock code you can find online) is a fairly easy gun to use and should get even new players some easy kills.
Unobtainable, Server now Closed
This trophy's difficulty is dependent on how good you are at the multiplayer. Since BF:BC is quite old now the amount of players is thinning, leaving mostly the really good players left which makes this trophy harder to obtain. Don't expect to get it during your first couple of games. The more you play the better you'll get, so keep doing your best and you'll unlock it. Make sure to go after objectives like capturing flags because that will make it much easier to obtain. Tanks can be very effective at getting lots of points very quickly, so utilize them.
Some Point Notes:
- Headshot = +5 points
- Def Objective = +3 points
- Capture Objective = +30 points
- Avenger/Savior = +5 points
- You LOSE points by damaging or killing your teammates.
You’ll have to be the top scorer of everyone in the entire game to get the achievement, this means you score higher than anyone on your team and your opponents team.
There are a lot of ways to score points. For the most part, killing an enemy will give you 10 points for a basic kill and more points when you do additional things while killing them. You can also get points for doing objectives and helping your team. I’ll list as many as I know here.
Added to Killing
- Defender, 3
- Avenger, 5
- Savior, 5
- Destroy vehicle, 10
- Headshot, 5
- Defend objective, 5
- Kill as passenger, 5
Objective
- Destroy objective, 30
- Damage objective, 10
- Other
- Assist, 3
- Squad assist, 6
- Passenger kill, 5
- Heal friendly, 10
- Heal squad, 15
- Repair vehicle, 10
- Repair squad vehicle, 15
- Vehicle tag assist, 6
- Get a dog tag, 5-25 points
Obviously doing things with your squad will earn you more points than not and only the support class can heal/repair. I recommend being whichever class you think is best since the point balance is fairly even; I don’t recommend being recon though as you want the most points, not the best K/D spread.
Depending on your enemies actions/the map you might want to favor different classes. If the enemy is only using vehicles go to the demolition class and maximize on the vehicle kill points. If the enemy are only playing demolition class themselves try going assault or support and taking them out from afar.
If you choose to play support try to heal your friends and repair vehicles for some extra points. “Healable” friends will show up as flashing + signs on your mini map and healable vehicles will be a wrench.
