Badge question

thirty_OT

So I decided to check my badge progress since it has been EONS since I have looked, and noticed that the only thing that is preventing me from progressing with the rifle badge, is "throwing kills."

Is "throwing kills" limited to specifically grenades or do VIP character's throwing knives count?
Could there be an easier way to accumulate throwing kills other than by EGYPT TD? I'm 90% sure 1v1 kills don't count towards badges in any way.

Feedback is appreciated.

Viper throw counts as a secondary kill pistol. just do TDM Mayan Temple easy grenade kills

^ Yep, what Camel said. It's odd to me that it doesn't count as a melee kill. If I try to kill a mutant in HMX with throwing knives, they respawn (if it's a melee kill, they should not be able to respawn).

You're stuck with grenades, unless someone knows of something better.

If you're bored with Egypt, Mayan Temple is another favorite map for farming grenade kills.

Since it is an add-on for Melee only, I'd assume it counts as melee kills.

As RiceTurtle said It counts as melee, if you are referring to VIP axe mode. There is no way around it, we old timmers did it the hard way Egypt match. Now you can get 3 - 4 kills with one grenade in Mayan Temple each time pick up or team play pick up grenade box

throwing knifes and throwing axes are not counts as throwing weapons just grenade counts
