Achieve 100 kills as Archer

How to unlock the Playing the wrong game achievement in Chivalry 2 - Definitive Guide

The quickest and easiest way I have found to get the 100 Archer kills is once you have unlocked the Crossbowman class which is unlocked once hitting level 4 as an archer. To fire an arrow simply Hold cn_LT for accuracy and press cn_RT to fire the arrow itself. Pressing cn_RT again will reload your crossbow.

Next I would say the best current mode for this is the 40 Player Mixed modes as it has less players and more AI on each team. The reason this is significant is because AI will die in one hit anywhere and from any range of a crossbow but not of a bow and will still count towards your achievement. AI are also easier to hit as they don't move as much. The only other advice I can offer is this

1) Try to keep the high ground
2) Stay near Ammo crates
3) Make sure you are behind your teammates so that you don't get rushed
4) The further away your opponent is the higher you may have to aim above where they actually are
5) Try to aim for enemies with less health such as AI, footman, enemy archers or even bloodied enemies.
6) headshots deal extra damage

Update: Currently this achievement is glitchy and only counts kills done with the base Archer class with the bow. Hopefully they fix this

Quick Edit: As stated by one of the commenters and forgotten by me, all kills with your melee weapons as this class also count towards your achievements progress and comes in handy if you're being charged at just simply press cn_right and you will be able to use your secondary for melee combat.

Ran into typical cheevo tracking where kills stopped counting at 44 and won't budge even though I got 12 kills in one match. Anyone else? 6/24/21

Crossbow does not count tword this. Must be a bow. I don't know if it is because of a patch but can confirm bow yes crossbow no

Can double confirm what AeriBous states as of 6/27/21 crossbow does not count towards kills as archer. As I stated above no tracking was occuring and it was cause of my equiped crossbow,
however once I switched to bow i was able to get it to unlock yesterday.

Branching off that secondary weapon too---if you're really just bad at shooting like I am, I discovered you can just pick up weapons like a Messer from the battlefield and still get kills from using them.

So if you do run out of arrows or are having bad luck with aiming, this works too 😅.

Looks like this I've run into the issue where most of my achievements suddenly aren't tracking. Nothing for this one despite being on 79%, and the same for all the 500/1000/1500 etc kills. Grateful for any ideas anyone has.

MHaze this happened to me too in February/march. No achievements were tracking at all. 499/500 for kills. 99/100 for archer kills. I just started playing again after a couple months off and achievements are tracking/unlocking again. Not sure what fixed it, maybe a game update? I’m happy with it though; give it another try.

*Important to note that picking up a bow does not make you an archer and does not give you archer kills.
(For you new guys out there)


"Archer is Hard. I Cant Aim, and When I Hit Them It seems Like They Dont Die."
- Me when I picked Archer for the third time

Hang in there!

100 Kills is not a lot, and you'll get the hang of it soon enough ;D
- Headshots do more damage
- Your Ability Places down a Brazier.
- You Can Use This To Ignite Your Arrows For Damage Over Time
- Your Secondary Weapon - Dagger, Will save your life.
Goodluck!
