Subject: Good Samaritan achievement help

I haven't played ODST too much, however, today I ran into my first engineer. I shot him a couple times by accident, (only once or twice), then I just ignored it and killed the 3 brutes. Shortly after I killed the 3 brutes, the engineer just exploded and I didn't happen to hurt it, or damage it after those original one or two shots, he just exploded. So I was just wondering...does this mean I won't get the achievement on this run through? Just wasn't sure if they were supposed to kill themselves. Thanks ahead of time.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I have seen you future

The engineers on Mombasa Streets always kill themselves after their allies die. This won't stop you from getting the achievement. I checked your recent game, and you didn't get credited with the kill (good).

**MINOR SPOILERS**

Later on in the game you will play in a mission with engineers. Kill as many as you like, it won't stop you from earning the achievement.

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

Don't worry, you can still get that achievement. After checking the two games in Mombasa Streets that you've played, there aren't any Engineers among the enemies you've killed.

And just for future reference, if I do happen to kill one, will a progress meter pop up, like most other achievements? Also, If I do accidentally kill one, can I start over from my last checkpoint to undo that? Thank you for the help so far, and sorry about bothering you for these last two questions for clarification.

Yeah, about that, I accidentally killed an engineer and it did show it on the progress meter...HOWEVER...I reverted to last save, and took a side path to avoid him. I got past him and was able to start a level, and did not see a progress meter pop up at all. However, I am still not too sure if that counted even after I reverted.

It's not camping, it's holding the designated location.

The progress meter will be for Naughty, Naughty and it only counts on Mombasa Streets as the rookie (Kikowani Stn. does not count and all engineers will explode when the brutes die.
