Hi
Just played 2 rounds on Karkand and got enough points (3o on 1 and 32 on another) plenty to get my basic exposive badge. As you need 13 kills i only used claymores as i played sniper i never killed anyone with nothing else just claymores what the hell do i have to do to get the sodding badge??

C4's worked for me. Just set them up all over the little alley just south of the Hotel, then wait until the USMC comes..... then boom.....

i have noticed that sometimes after you die and one of your claymores kills someone, it registers as (KILLED) not (CLAYMORE). so even though you killed 30+ people some of those might not have counted as explosive kills because they were killed after you died. just a possibility.

you can combine them if you want. or do all of the same... i just got my gold explosive badge on a 64 Karkand using C4.

but it you are being a N008 and exploiting the Claymore bugs before it gets fixed. make sure it says that you killed them with the [Claymore] not [killed]. [killed] does not count towards anything

Try defending the Alley in Sharqui with C4. You can plant them around the flag strategically to take out infantry and armor. One by the flag, one by the sandbags and two outside the sandbags on the main road to the Alley. The only stipulation is that you'll need an ammo crate or support near by to hook you up with plenty of explosives.

About [killed] ... most likely it is because person who died was in a vehicle. I've killed many snipers and seconds later I die because of their claymores. An it is still [claymore] kill. Well I am not so sure about that.

I'm not exactly sure what determines a [killed] or a [claymore] but I know it's not just because they are in a vehicle. Granted, after I die I can still get claymore kills, but sometimes it just randomly shows up as [killed]. I've even watched infantry run into my claymore after I respawned and got a [killed] for it.

so you have to be alive to register as a clay more kill?? If your dead it just registers as a kill

It just might not have been a ranked server, That happened to me once I got my sf antitanks and Special forces vet badges and my explosive badge but it never registered in my stats. So make sure it's ranked I'm not really sure how to do that, oh and the server I was in was flashing ranked over and over again.

i actually have given up on that badge, i dont need to it progress through the ranks, nor do i need it for anything really much else, in fact i havent gotten a badge in ages, except 1st 2nd or 3rd, i havent,

im a landmine whore so i get most of my ex kills from that in nice amour maps, hint: a few land mines just around the corner (where us armour turns letf into city) will take a few apcs and tanks out, and some of them are filled with soldiers, hills are a good idea too, as jeeps laden with soldiers head up there to cap suburb, doing that a few times, and will get ur kills, and stop armour from getting into city, enough to stop them from taking suburb anyway

good luck for it though,

Nope, you can't get the first sergeant rank now. However, just make sure you get the basic vehicle badges and no one will notice the difference at 50,000

I've seen the (Killed) tag alot since 1.2(it did happen when using claymores in 1.12, but it was a little more rare) while using Claymores. I've discussed it on a few other threads, but I think I finally have a logical reason what happens:

If you die and the enemy hits your mines while you are still waiting to respawn, I think it will give you the Claymore kill IF that Claymore was placed during your previous 'life'. I've heard spec-ops, if revived, can still detonate C4 they have dropped OR another player can pick up their kit and detonate it. I believe the same thing happens with a sniper's Claymores. I think that time is allowed so that you can be revived and still be in battle. It actually makes perfect sense now that I think of it that way. I think if anyone picks up your kit, THEY will get the kills for the Claymores(or any other kill with leftover ordinance).

Actually, now that I think of it, I'm pretty dang SURE it happens like that. I've had one death that I had recently that I couldn't quite explain. I was out of mines at one point in the first alley of Karkand and I spotted an enemy sniper kit that I picked up to place down two more mines. Well, when I placed it down, I noticed I got no red skull warning. A friendly ran over in front of the Claymore(that I happened to be standing in front of by now) and somehow tripped the untrippable Claymore(no, I wasn't playing on a server with FF turned back on for them, and no, another enemy didn't trip it because I didn't get an enemy kill) leading to my 'suicide' and a teamkill.

Hmmm... I need to test this out tonight. I'll eat a teamkill or two to figure this out
