How to unlock the First Melee Kill achievement in The Ascent - Definitive Guide

You should get this without issue, but it didn't pop when I expected. I used the baseball bat and then tried the 'Guillotine' machete with no unlock.

It popped for me when I got the long-handed hammer, dropped by an enemy and then killed them.

Thanks for sharing. So far I've gotten a kill with the hammer and the bat, no pop.

Gets 3 melee weapons, gets kills with all three... nothing... jfc typical modern gaming achievement.

Same here. Baseball bat and guillotine didn't do the job. After I found the "Stonebreaker" hammer in the first combat area (in a lootbox behind a breakable wall - u can't miss it) it popped.

I think the baseball bat and guillotine don't count through a bug. I've got both before the hammer but the achievement for obtaining my first melee weapon popped right after I got the hammer first time.

I sold my rock hammer that I found not knowing this was glitched.

Now I can't find one. Have all other achievements done.

Had to get it via NG+. Have to run through the entire campaign to get to the DLC again.

I can confirm that this achievement only pops out when a melee kill is done with the "Rock Crusher" metal hammer.
The associated achievement "First Melee Special Move Kill" also only pops if one's using the Rock Crusher hammer.

Plenty of kills with all 3 melee weps, specials too. Nothing. Notably my coop friend who was host got both cheeves using the hammer.

Edit: I think the issue was with Game sharing. My friend, the host, had the dummy account with the dlc ownership set as home. Once I set it to mine, the melee achievements unlocked the very next kills (using hammer)

Obtain the Rock Crusher as described in Bring a knife to a gunfight (15G) and kill any enemy to unlock this achievement. It does not work with other melee weapons for some reason.

Currently, this trophy can only be obtained using the Rock Crusher weapon; kills with a katana and a baseball bat do not count.
