How to unlock the #1 achievement in Insurgency: Sandstorm - Definitive Guide

Best game mode for this is pvp firefight. You have to either cap and hold all objectives at once, or kill the entire enemy team to win a round. Doesn't have to be a full match. The rounds are over quickly so you will get a few attempts.

All i did was make a mad dash to cap the flag the enemy held, then ran to the neutral B flag to cap that. I managed to grab 1 kill along the way. This gave me enough points to be the MVP of the round. It gave me the MVP award and thus the achievement.

Obviously there is an element of luck/skill involved. But aim for 2 caps or at least 1 cap and a kill or 2 in one round. That should give you enough points.

Good luck!!!

Yep, this seems the easiest, as people sheepishly go from one objective to the other. If you capture B and then are careful when going back and forth between A and C, getting kills, you can get it quite easily.

I think the reason why it sometimes doesn’t pop in other game modes is because it doesn’t show the ribbon for most valuable players. In firefight it shows it after all games I played. When I become MVP and the ribbon showed, it popped.

Can confirm what VOODOO85 says. Started up a session, first guy get it instantly, then no one else. Traded MVP win rounds in session order, for over one and half hour none of us unlocked the achievement. We've changed tactics and let one guy win a whole match instead of only a round. First guy did not unlock the achievement, then it was my turn and after winning all three rounds, the achievement finally popped. Not sure if it has anything to do with it or I was just lucky, but this is how I unlocked the achievement..

I’m trying to find a game of firefight but have been unable to so far. I don’t think it’s a popular game mode and there’s hardly any players. This is the last achievement I need

I think this achievement can better be described as: "The only game mode for this is pvp firefight."

I have been MVP many times in Co-op, PvP Push and PvP Domination, but only when I was the MVP in PvP Firefight the achievement unlocked

Just been playing firefight as a group and consistently getting the MVP award at the end of rounds. One person in the group got it quite early on so after that point he was intentionally not getting captures/kills to help others get MVP

But no matter what the achievement wouldn't pop for the rest of us in the group until several (10-15) matches later with us getting the MVP award consistently

Seems very buggy and there was no pattern to getting it to pop for the 4 of us (ie - when it did pop, it was different number of kills/caps, maps, rounds etc)

This achievement maybe random. I played a round of Domination and finished first overall with most caps, most kills and the achievement never unlocked. Then I played a game of Firefight and finished second overall and got the achievement. So it may come down to which game mode you play.

I think it might have been a delayed unlock

The trophy is given ONLY in Firefight mode, at the end of the round. It is better to capture as many points as possible, for destroying opponents you do not get enough points
