Steam Winter Achievement - Left 4 Dead 2 - Valve Gift Grab 2011 (www.steamcheeves.com)

[PenguinRecordings]

Thanks for this man. Works and I got the achievement fast. All I keep getting is coal or coupons. Even using the coal gets me more coupons, with less discount. Maybe its because I'm situated in Asia :/

[battierpeeler]

nice vid. easy and fast.

[TeaPartyAndCookies]

Any idea for opening the console without using the tilde thing? My keyboard is Spanish and doesn't include it. I tried typing it via Unicode, but its code is in hexadecimal (U+007E) and it seems impossible to do.

[superkerel9]

i did this, then a tank came out of nowhere in the beggining and owned me :/

(a jockey did drop the present just before he owned us)

[KiraVenom]

Thank you!!

[XvReAcTi0nZ]

mine goes straight to campaign instead of versus

help?

[TEAMFORTRESS2MASTER]

@XvReAcTi0nZ You probably didn't include 'versus' at the end of the command.

[Chalinho]

Thank you

[gulliverbear]

thanks a lot!

Let's hope VAC doesn't punish anyone for using this. Took the risk anyway. Not notified yet on anything about it. Let's hope it stays that way.

[TEAMFORTRESS2MASTER]

@Itnetlolor You're a fucking moron if you think this is going to get you VAC banned. You're not cheating.

[Itnetlolor]

@TEAMFORTRESS2MASTER Okay, okay. No need to get all bent out of shape here. I, much like others that take a glimpse at this kind advice for the first time, would be a tad worried about using console commands on a game that has a pretty harsh security policy/device for multiplayer. Wasn't sure if it was sensitive enough to trigger; or in the case of my concern, since it involves a mode used in multiplayer mode triggered this way. Multi in single = security breach(?) You know?

[roxor99999]

@Itnetlolor Do you even know how to fucking read idiot?

[Itnetlolor]

@roxor99999 I do know how to read, and I don't recall seeing any information relevant to what has been discussed. If I am in idiot, then how come when I read through the achievement how-to, watched the video, read the comments, I still haven't found any other information relevant to my question besides some jackass calling me an idiot for a seemingly newbish question which would have inevitably been asked anyway, with a sarcastic response? I suspect a troll here. Which of us is it?

[xXtenseXx]

@Mitzrael19 the same here :(((

[PennCoup]

Very useful, thnx :)

I got the game "Costume Quest" :P

[MaRkYy92]

@JokerL616

type this in-game by pressing Y to bring the chat up:

";con_enable 1; bind F8 toggleconsole;

[Kasparao]

@MaRkYy92 thanks, worked!

[Itnetlolor]

@MaRkYy92 Alternatively, you can also, you know, look in advanced options mayhaps? The option is rather self-explanatory after that, including what button is used to bring it up.

[JokerL616]

Doeas anybody know why I can't bring up my console?

[thedoomspoon]

@JokerL616 Make sure you enable it in the options and then check the keybindings for it?

[Lorgra93due]

How much time is the timer block?

[iPerfection68]

i take my words back,this is much faster,thank you

[iPerfection68]

or play regular versus..

[m2pt5]

Does this work with cheats on? (e.g. can you use z_spawn to just force the specials to spawn?)

[m2pt5]

@m2pt5 It does! z_spawn hunter does the trick.

[m2pt5]

@m2pt5 wait, no it doesn't, enabling cheats disables achievements.

[mark01318]

this worked for me map c10m1_caves versus

[mavs2p2]
