How to unlock the Racking them up achievement in Pure Pool - Definitive Guide

This is obviously straight forward: win 3 online games in a row. However, I have found that you can boost this on one console if you have 2 Live accounts you can switch between. How does it work?

Login with your main account and launch Pure Pool. Once you are loaded in and can access the main menu by pushing cn_start go to My Profile --> Account Picker and switch to your secondary account. This will take you back out to the main splash screen. Press cn_A to load in. Press cn_start to access the main menu and switch back to your main account using My Profile --> Account Picker. From there you will have to press cn_A again to load back in. Now you will be able to start an online game by pressing cn_start and choosing Players and selecting your secondary account from the All Players or Friends list. It is VERY IMPORTANT you make sure the secondary account shows as being offline (it will have a red bar to the right of the gamerpic). Press cn_A on your secondary account and then cn_A again to invite. Choose your Game Type (I chose 8-Ball) and press cn_A. This will generate the invite. Now switch back to your secondary account using the previously described process. Press cn_start and choose My Games and select the one that is from your main account and press cn_A to choose it and then cn_A again to accept the game invite. From here the game will launch. The game randomly assigns who will have first break so you may have to switch back to your main account and go into My Games and choose the game against your secondary account to do the break.

From here it is switching back and forth between the accounts after each missed shot. I found what was quickest was after I missed a shot with my main account, when I got to place the ball with my secondary account I placed it to sink a ball that was for my main account. I highly suggest ensuring you win the match using your main account to ensure you get credit for the online win as I found that winning by having my secondary account illegally sink the 8 ball to lose didn't give me credit (for all I know it could've been a game issue at the time I was doing it). Rinse and repeat 2, 5, and 8 more times to get these achievements:

Don't get me wrong. This is a tedious way to do this, and I did find that the achievements didn't quite pop as expected (I got my 3 in a row after my 5th straight win, 6 in a row after my 11th straight win, and 9 in a row after my 14th straight win. There were server issues when I was doing this so that may be why.), but in lieu of winning against randoms or trying to boost with a partner, you can do it locally with 2 Live accounts on one Xbox One smile.

Best of luck!

For a quick boost for two people in the game “eight”: you can pocket the black ball - an immediate defeat. Repeat to one player 9 times, then switch and the other player pockets the black ball 9 times.
