    Behind Enemy Lines achievement

    So the achievement for this is described as "Guide any of the three Grand Companies to a total of 200 Frontline victories." I haven't found any info on this if it is intended or not but my achievement count for this has not increased as a freelancer. However, other achievements like In a Blaze of Glory has been increasing for every Field of Glory (Shatter) win.

    Any one else have this issue or does it only count towards specific Frontline maps prior to Shatter?

    It should increase with Shatter too but I recall something about it only applying to a single GC. For example, you couldn't get 199 wins with Maelstrom & then get the last one with Adders, you would need 200 with a single GC. It was decided that it was just poor wording (translation) but I don't think we ever got a definite response whether it was a bug or intended. Given the new Freelance system it should just be 200 wins overall, especially as some GCs are nigh impossible to get into PVP parties for.

    Also may not be related but ties count as win on some achievements and not others. I am sure 100 shatter wins had ties but didn't get the same amount of lead GC over the same 100.

    Did anyone get an answer on this? Does it have to be with a single Grand Company to count or a certain match type? If so, they really need to change the wording on that. I wouldn't have swapped GC's if I had known it was GC-specific, which doesn't make any sense given the achievement title and the ability to use the mount across GC's.

    For the Red ADS mount you have to get 200 wins on a single GC.

    Per Lace Valeria, The achievement says you have to get 200 wins with a single GC. . . what it does not say is that wins don't continue to count if you switch. Also Freelancer does NOT affect this. Even if you're playing for a different GC that match, the win is counted for the GC you belong to.

    For example, I had gotten roughly 150 wins on the Flames then switched to Adders. The counter never continued forward until I got 151 wins as an Adder. But when I went back to the Flames (at around 160-something wins), I had to make up that difference between the two.

    Late reply I know I can confirm that progress for this achievement will not carry into another GC if you swap.

    So if you have 199 wins on mael and swap to Adder and win a game you will need to win another 199 time

    There's another achievement however for getting 100 frontlines wins, progress for that achievement is not kept by your GC so you can swap to any keep your current progress.
