Golden Potato Achievement Help

bcabalum1717 · 06-30-2011, 09:18 AM

I've un-welded the the welded door on the map "Aperture" on two different occasions and no achievement. Did it have to be done during the portal event? please help.

Yeah you had to do it back at the promotion event it's probably never going to come back.

yes, you are too late. You can't even get the "uber tuber" achievement, which was related to the portal event too.

edit : damn, got ninja'd

They should let us redo it next year on the same month and day portal 2 was released.

Aww, that sucks. I've tried 2 or 3 times to get it, but could never finish it off before people got bored and just plowed through more waves.

They should really hide, or mark, unobtainable achievements. Nothing in the description hints at it being time limited.

Nick1021 · 06-30-2011, 10:05 AM

Ye ikr.

I did it, but it was fun anyway. But they should NEVER put up achievements that are later unattainable. Hate it.

It has to be on a MP server, not solo.

I know it doesn't work anymore, still I use it to farm the welding points for the support specialist.

I got the achievement on a listen server. No one could join my server as I hadn't forwarded ports etc. so I unwelded the door alone as berserker. Took a long, long time but it was the easiest way to get it alone. I don't think the achievement is available anymore though.
