KF2 Dosh Bling Collectibles: Hostile Grounds, Containment Station
Two community video guides covered the collectible-based achievements added with the Hostile Grounds and Containment Station maps. This page merges their written information. The first guide shows the 10 collectibles the author found to be the quickest route from the starting area on each map; the second adds a second author's recording for the same Hostile Grounds achievement and begins a longer series of collectible videos for other maps. For a full list see KF2 collectibles master guide and the existing map notes such as Hostile Grounds collectibles locations.
Achievements covered
| Map | Achievement | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Hostile Grounds (KF_HostileGrounds) | You've Got Red on You | Collect 10 dosh blings |
| Containment Station (KF_ContainmentStation) | Can't Be Contained | Collect 10 dosh blings |
The collectibles are ordinary-looking gold dosh pickups that must be shot or collected. Each map holds 30, so you can find more than the 10 shown in the videos; the author picked what he believed was the easiest and fastest path from the spawn. A commenter also found an extra collectible on Hostile Grounds downstairs in the subway, on top of one of the little booths near the entrance and exit stairs.
Tips
- The first Hostile Grounds bling is the hardest. If the window-crack shot is a problem, shoot it from the top of the red car. Another bling inside the ambulance close to the tenth shot of the route lets you skip the first one altogether.
- Achievement progress is saved per player; you do not need to play with a team, and a commenter said they got it while playing alone.
- The achievements were reported working as of update 1035, after a stretch when blings did not register.
Related video series
A second guide author recorded Hostile Grounds with only 10 collectibles needed and began a list of videos for other maps. The maps named for collectible videos include Krampus Lair (for A World Under Glass), The Tragic Kingdom, The Descent, Nuked, Zed Landing, Infernal Realms, Containment Station, Black Forest, Farmhouse, Catacombs, Evacuation Point, Volter Manor, Prison, Outpost, Paris and Biotics Lab. Several of these were still marked as work in progress when the guide was last updated.
FAQ
- What are the collectibles on Hostile Grounds and Containment Station?
- Gold-coloured dosh blings. Collecting 10 on Hostile Grounds unlocks You've Got Red on You, and collecting 10 on Containment Station unlocks Can't Be Contained. There are 30 on each map, so you need only a fraction.
- Did these achievements ever stop working?
- The video guide's author tested them as working in update 1035 after a period when bling achievements were bugged, thanks to a community player who verified it.
- Is there an easier way to shoot the first Hostile Grounds bling?
- Yes. Instead of shooting through cracks in the window, shoot it from the top of the red car. There is also a bling inside the ambulance near the tenth bling that lets you skip the first one.
