I don't understand how to get this achievement, I use the Gunner a lot and I use slam at necessary times but how to I "Pancake" someone? Do I need to upgrade the slam all the way?
You need to perform a slam in mid air above an enemy. When you slam on top of them they will actually flatten and you'll get credited for a pancake.
It's pretty awesome (and rewarding!) cuz they are literally 2D on the ground. Plus, it's a one-hit-kill on anyone, anytime. I once killed a juiced Support that was attacking my moneyball by pancaking him. Very satisfying! :mrgreen: PS The Gunner has a jet-boosted jump so you don't have to be up on a bridge to get high enough to pancake someone.
Oh man, I have to see this. I didn't know you could even do it in mid-air. Can you do it on lvl 1 slam?
yea i just walked up next to an enemy, jumped and immediately pressed x. with gunner being my new favorite class, i will have to start scoping out more opportunities for pancake slams, but this time from greater heights... :twisted:
I almost never play gunner and had some trouble getting this one by simply playing, so here's the strategy that worked for me to get the achievement: Next time you play the LazeRazor arena, hang out about 2/3 of the way up the map on your team's right side. Almost every time I play that arena, there's some talentless bodyshotting sniper on the other team; they usually like to snipe from just above the vent on their team's right side. Wait until he's distracted shooting people in the center of the map, and then run across right in front of the other team's base, hugging the wall on your right. The sniper probably won't notice you; bad snipers prefer to rely entirely on their freeze traps. When you get about 20 feet away simply use your jets to fly over his freeze trap, then press X when you're directly above him. Be sure to taunt, as he'll probably ragequit.
