I'm short to the 300 kills for Expert, so I can proove at least onetimes 10 and ontimes 15 kills in one round, but no EEP yet (should have around 10). Did most of the kills with clays, just a few (and definately no 8 iar) with C4.

My son did his Basic with AT mines and he also didn't recieve a pin.

So I'm asking myself, if it is reduced to RDX-kills (in opposite to the info on the EA stats page) or not possible to get at all.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Im having the same problem mate, I think its something to do with the stats system, hopefully they should fix it in the next patch.

Only use demopaks to get it. OR only use APM's OR only use Motionmines they all count...just not together.

My basic was done only with APMs and my son's only with AT mines (nothing else unlocked at the given time) so I hardly can believe in this "only one type iar"-theory.

I'll try out the C4-method this weekend and report the result here.

Does the badge also has to be done with either pure APM/RDX or M-Mines?

I've gotten this badge once. and let's face it, when I'm recon whoring I grab both RDX and APM mines for my kit and prepare to unleash explosive mayhem on the enemy...and surprisingly only one EE pin; it *has* to be with RDX only.

I got mine using RDX on camp Gibraltar or whatever..

Put a Stick by a Fence Opening and waiting for people to come so i could blow them up..

Worked pretty well, I try and do it every round.. Can usually get 5+ kills with it.

I got one defending the titan with RDX & claymores today, but somehow it's not in stats yet.
And BTW all the kills were in streak, without a death.

You can get BADGES with any explosives kills at all.

As of now, you have to get 8 RDX kills to get the pin. No other explosives. I have recieved this pin several times because I am, in fact, an explosives whore.

As I said above, I have gotten the pin using motion mines.

In the first post I told you, that my son did Basic Explosive with motion mines and didn't get the pin - that was not true, he got it! (sorry for missleading anybody)

So it looks like "anything but APM" to get the pin which realy annoys me, cause I suck at RDX-whoring and I plan to upgrade all other classes than engineer first.

But I still like to have that pin at least once so any tips on extrem usage of RDX would be much apriciated.

By the way: Recieved Expert Explosive yesterday, 24/40 kills with APMs, three Titan Defenders, Gold Star *proud*
(to proove: my "test out 2142" account is WarlordSr)

Using RDX in the Titan hallways is an excellent way to get the Explosives Pin as well as Expert Explosives Badge..
I got it that way, real easy actually if u have a Support near.. And since it's the Titan, there 'll always be at least 1 support near (if not 5 support in 1 hallway..)
Just run around and RDX everyone..

I got 10+ kills with 3 RDX Demo Packs when the enemy tried to get inside the Titan Core..
Since your team is (or should be) defending the inside of the Core chamber, the enemies will be kind of stacked right outside the Core chamber and they 'll be focusing on the Core chamber, so u can just run outside of Corridor 3 into Corridor 4 while throwing RDX every few steps, once inside the Corridor, blow the damn thing and rack up 10 kills at a time..

Hooray for being a Recon Whore !!
