I have basic explosive ordinance, nearly veteran (i just needed 30 more seconds in one round to get kill 15), and have no explosive efficiency pins (8 kills in one round). It isn't just that server because i have fulfilled the requirements several times. Is this a general problem or just my account? or do you have to use the RDX instead of the APM and be on the ground?

Yup, they work alright.

EDIT:- It's any combination of RDX, APMS and loller mines. So I dunno why you havn't got one yet.

You know you just made me realise.

I've got my Vet Explosives badge, and I'm one of those noobs whoring APMs and RDX on the titan that pisses so many people off. But I've only got one of those pins... I get 8 explosive kills pretty much every Titan round I play on, yet only one pin... I think you may be right in the assumption they are fucked to shit.

It works. I have that pin more than once.
I am sure though it is bugged as hell.

APMS don't count for the explosives efficiency pin.

There is already a topic about it, search next time

So, is it 8 explosive kills with the same explosive?

7 APM kills + 7 roller mine kills + 7 RDX = 21 explosive kills but no explosives pin
8 APM kills = Explosives pin

Dang I'm pretty sure I got at least 8 kills with the APM's when I got my silver explosives badge but I guess I'll have to have another go at it...

Well someone in the other thread wrote:
I have one Explosive Efficiency Pin, and I got it on Conquest mode, with APM's.

I got the Explosives Pin 2 times on Titan mode using RDX.. (pretty sure that APMs that I threw didn't count, since I got over 25+ Explosive kills with the combination of RDX & APMs..)

Anyway, I think that the APMkills don't count when in Titan mode, but do count when in Conquest mode..
Titan mode still has a lot of bugs.. But hey, it's a brand new mode.. Go figure.. :-)..
Just try to get it on Titan mode with RDX pack defending or attacking Titans.. (defending is the most easy)

Finally got my pin last night. On the very same map I got my veteran explosives badge and with the same munitions... Guess the patch helped out somehow.

To me it seems they changed this with the last patch. I am quite sure I got that pin a few times today after killing someone with APMs which in the end means a mix of APMs and RDX to get 8 kills.

Seems like it will become even more effective to get careerpoints defending your Titan then like it was´nt before :S

Yay defense is going to give you huge points that way :-D
8 kills with explosives -> Pin
7 kills -> Pin
5 kill streak -> Pin
10 kill streak -> Pin
at the end of the round jumping off the Titan if it explodes -> Pin
+ all the points you've earned for kills/teamwork..

They really should make a Titan Attack Efficiency Pin

Actually APM mines DO count toward the Explosive pin.

I checked my stats and I only have 2 RDX kills and 0 Motion mine kills. I still have the Explosive pin from APM mines.

And I clearly remember not using RDX the round I got it. So stop saying those Claymore don't count because they do.

Actually read some of the post yourself specially by madmurre, jnick, zeidmaan, [L4WD] thealmightygnome and Polux. All state that APM mines don't count to the Pin, but they do and maybe it changed after a patch or something I dunno.

I've 'earned' it, I mean I've had the required kills IAR, but I wasn't awarded it. I've also had trouble with the collector's pin. I've earned it twice, it even popped up on my screen and showed at the end of the round, but it has never appeared in my stats. Oh well.

I dont think you get the Titan survival pin if you jump of YOUR titan when it explodes. Only after jumping of an ENEMY titan. Not sure but I think so.

Got mine with the motion mines, people love driving into them or landing on them.

And you're correct! +1 for you
Just found that out yesterday
Titan Survival Pin = only for assaulting the enemy Titan..

And indeed the patch did make it so APMs now do count for the Explosives Pin.
I tried defending the Titan using only APMs (and my gun & knife of course).
Result: about 12 APM kills = 1 Explosives Pin
Sad that they didn't patch that BEFORE I got my Expert Explosives Badge and Expert Recon Badge..
Oh yea well, still loads of fun :-)
