With bots on Novice, capture the flag also works well (I set for 1 hour time limit, 3 flag captures to win) on Hydrosis. I did the same setup for all of the other weapons achievements I have.

Max number of bots, of course (forgot to mention that). Also helps if you change some (or all) of the weapon spawns to whatever weapon you need for the achievement (in this case the link gun) so it's almost impossible for you to run out of ammo.

The guide above definitely is a little off. You DO NOT want to have the weapon respawn mutator on!

Why weapon respawn? That makes weapons less available.

Since it's not expressly clear in this guide:

To get a "Shaft Master" award, you must use the alt fire (LT) for the Link Gun and get 15 kills in one match.

Here is an easy method to get all of the weapon Achievements. I will use the Link Gun as an example in this case.

- Host a multiplayer match for 2 players (you and a bot).
- Make it a private match so a random person won't join.
- Play CTF on the map "Facing Worlds".
- Set bot difficulty to "Novice".
- Set caps to 1 (This is largely irrelevant but helps speed it up).
- Enable mutator "Speed Freak". (Again, just helps you get through it faster).

Now the beauty of this is twofold. 1, It's a CTF game so you can kill the bot as many times as you like and the game won't end as long as you don't score with the flag. Also, once you grab the flag, the enemy should pretty much always go right for you, in an attempt to recapture his flag. This means you don't have to waste time hunting him down.

Also, the spawns on Facing Worlds are so ridiculous, it helps make it easy.

When the game starts, collect some ammo, and perhaps hang around the middle of the map until the super health spawns. In the meantime if you see the opponent, kill him.

Once you get the super health, go grab the flag. Now your enemy will come to you, so go wait in the back of his base. This is also where he spawns, so when you kill him, he will spawn within your sight. Keep killing him over and over as he spawns, until you get your 15 kills with that weapon (In this case "Shaft Master") ... Then return the flag to end the game. Repeat that 10 times and the Achievement is yours. This should take you no more than 20 minutes total.

Please note!!! For the Shaft Master achievement, only kills using the SECONDARY fire (The beam) will count. I found this out the hard way, so you don't have to. :)

Set up a game like shown in the following video, but instead of spawning pistols, spawn the link gun and go through killing everyone. Repeat 10 times to get "Shaft Master" instead of "Gunslinger", and the achievement will unlock.

Same as "Brain Surgeon" but you need to get the kills with the Link Gun alternative fire (). No headshots are needed, just kills.
