Currently bugged and not giving completion credit for any parts of achievement. @10:50am PST on June 3, 2025 (Launch Day).

Update @ 2:56 pm PST = Hotfix seems to have went out. Now working properly. Seems you are hard capped weekly so basically you get one run with 300k Week 1 and your just done... and waiting till next week. Then Week 2 you do 1 run for 400k... etc...etc...

Did a run up to 800k to see if I got credit for all weeks up to Week 5. I did not... image below for proof.

ADVICE: RUN THIS EVENT WITH A GROUP OF PLAYERS. GARRICK IS A NUTCASE TANK; HIRE A PLAYER INSTEAD! Those X2 circles make a big difference.

Week 1: 0/300000

Personal Score: 310270

Outcome: No credit. Bugged.

EDIT: As mentioned below in response to my post, relogging after you've met the score seems to give you the credit you were hoping for. Still, the bug could still exist for future weeks so bear in mind the solution provided and the potential for bugging!

Comment by Gooney

The week one reward is showing for me so it's either selectively bugged or they fixed it?

Comment by Harmmony

If you got a 300k+ score already and checked this acheive to see no progress on it like me, relogging will fix and properly show credit.

Comment by grigorigo

What If I just did over 1 mill score on first day ? do I still have to come and do this !@#$ for 6 weeks, or will I just get it automatically 6 weeks later ?

Comment by DCCXVIII

You need to relog to see progress on this achieve.

Comment by ThyrazOnSpotify

How am I supposed to get enough score for this achievement when I win and finish before I can gather enough score points? I kick the cherry bombs, position the score bonus over bosses and nuke away but I can't reach 300k? I even used a bullhorn at the end to summon another boss but match still ended and I ended up wasting the horn.... Can someone explain this... wth... It's not time running out because I'm clicking on the gears the match simply ends because I win somehow but I wanted to keep going it just doesnt let me

Comment by revengera2

Yo dawgs i heard yall like timegate so we timegated the content 3 months in so that we can timegate it further 6 weeks from its release date so that we can have enough time to think of our next timegated masterplan!

Comment by Aurn

If you are solo, how do you get the NPC tank to bring the mobs into the X2 circles? Feel like I'm losing so many points because the tank holds them 2 yards outside of the circles. My pet taunt doesn't really do the trick.

Comment by Moonshaft

For anyone who doesn't know, as long as you have some Master Keys, you can right click the Score Bonus circle and move it around. Use this along with the flying head helicopter to gravity bomb mobs into it and it's much easier to stack everything together in maxed out cheer bombs with the NPC tank working against you.

Comment by BeerWolf

lol... time gated achievement.

Comment by Forsect

RIP to everyone with some ~week-long holidays planned for the June. Great one Blizzard

Comment by Jerrard

What about the converse question - if I just wait until week 6 and score 1,000,000 points then, will I get credit for all of the rest of the weeks retroactively? The only precedent I can see for something like this is the old Flight Master achieves that unlocked flying in expansion zones, where once all of the parts were unlocked, you could just do it all at once.

Comment by wowplayerone

What if you miss a week? Does this achievement then become impossible?

Also, how about some thousands-separator commas in these large numbers, Blizzard?

Comment by Esploratore

How do I get 300k score? I'm consistently around 150k, is it necessary to get the bosses in the circle? Because the tank keeps them out.

Comment by BigMary

Is week two not popping for anyone else? I've done 2 runs, both well over 400,000 points (one over 500k and it's still grey. Tried logging in and out. Running out of the area. Nothing.

Comment by motleyorc

I did a run just now for the week 2 entry, I received ~330k score, but I was given credit for the full 400k, this achievement appears to be extremely bugged.

Comment by Futrid

Adding my anecdote to understand the bug better.

I finished week one without thinking about it. All I know is at week 2 I had the week 1 part. I looked at the achievement while doing week 2. I got the popup saying I should have gotten credit for week 2. The achievement did not show this progress yet. I relogged and had credit for the week 2 score requirement.

So there is a bug with this achievement progress updating, but a relog should fix it.

Comment by Rasboinica

after the event it said i earned 275k point but the achi get credit (week 2), on the winners podium my high score is 614k, so i guess the event score screen is bugged af

Comment by Derpstorm90

I reached 428K points in the second week but, in the achie, the goal is not colored green. Is this normal? D:

Comment by PomGuy

Is anyone else encountering the issue where the middle row of scores are both displaying 0 regardless of how fast or slow you complete them?

I'm using the challenging food (the knockback), and picking up gears and finishing with time on the timer still but both of those scores still show 0 whenever I finish

Comment by sh0z

600k second week, still greyed

Comment by Isaacr

In case if anyone is wondering or if it hasn't been said you do not need to get exactly that score for that week it can be done in many runs as long as it adds up to whatever that weeks score is for example i was 0/400000 when I started week 2 I did 2 runs which each run gave me around 230,000 points and I still got the weekly high score done, As long as your total score for each run adds up to that high scores weekly you'll be fine. If its still grayed out you'll just need to wait and it will turn green some times it can take a day for it to go turn green. If your bad at Dastardly Duos like me and scared your not gonna be able to get each high score you can relax.

Comment by ThyrazOnSpotify

This achievement is stupid because the score during the match is not what your final score will be how am I supposed to know if I need to use more horns when I don't know what my actual score is ffs come on... I can have like 100k during the match and at the end the final score is 300k wtf?

edit: for the record my top score is 654575 without even using any horns so far but its impossible to track my actual score during the match itself because the counter is wrong I just don't understand why it has to be this way ?

Comment by Falandril

For some reason I don't get credit for week 3 despite earning high scores on the event. maybe it's because of the new patch. I just hope it will be fixed... :/

Comment by Kaorhy

This event is so badly made. Even not talking about the time sink + time gating completion for toys or achievements:

-choice to play without party so easily made, we think we'll do just that to optimize points, except it's impossible with the damage intakes
-npc tanks are extremely bad, can die, and tank mobs right in front of the x2 circles
-the vehicules have a buggy camera
-very unclear points, sometimes you play and struggle to get more than 300k, the other round you play the same way you get 900k (this happened to me)
-the need to relog to account for achievement progress
-ilvl scaled down, so that players are NOT rewarded by their gearing efforts
-the more weeks passes, the longer the event is because the more boss, the more tedious it is to farm low drop rate collectibles
-items stacks size very low, so plenty of bag used for that
-probably some more

Comment by Arbaros

Based on what I’ve read, am I correct in assuming that if you reached a high score in a previous week, it will still count toward the score target in the current week? Or am I misunderstanding how it works?
I’ve hit a high score of just over 1 million — does that mean I can just log in each week and the weekly score targets will automatically be marked as completed? Or do I actually need to reach the weekly score target again each time?

Comment by khorgaz

I just hate how the gears are random. In some matches I get only gears that add to the time; in other matches, I barely get time bonus gears but 9/10 a gear summons "reinforcements". This way this achievement is just a drag, hoping for the right setup so you can get a high score. Gives me flashbacks of rift phishing in D3.

Comment by Gallywix

Do you have any tips for achieving higher scores? I'm having trouble getting over 500,000 points, so I don't see how I can get 1 million points in the last week.

Comment by Falandril

Here's what I’ve learned so far from doing the Dastardly Duos event with an Arcane Mage and getting around 1.2 million score, without really min-maxing.

1. You can use various foods before the event to either help you or handicap yourself for more points. If you want more points, go for the "Challenging" Shrimp. To get it, talk to Wodin the Troll-Servant /way #2200 52.75 51.39 before you queue. Select “I’d like to order food delivery” and then “Challenge me! Handicap me!” After that, queue up for the event. Once inside, you’ll find the Challenging Shrimp on the tables to your left.

Keep in mind that this food will reduce your damage and increase your threat generation. Be careful when pulling large groups, especially if you're not the tank.

At the entrance, on the right, there are shelves with helpful potions. If you need healing, grab a Vial of Healing from there.

2. To quickly gather mobs, use your Dastardly Banner toy. It will pull all nearby enemies toward it, making group pulls much easier.

3. There are also three cherry bombs hidden inside props around the arena. Kill the props to find them—some have bombs, some don’t. When you find a bomb, click it to roll it forward, and try to stack them. Killing mobs inside a cherry bomb’s circle gives extra points, so keeping enemies in the circle is important. Some bosses, like Rattlegore, have knockbacks that can push the tank (therefore all the mobs) out of the circle, which gets annoying fast. If you’re the tank, just reposition inside the circle as needed.

4. One trick to get mobs back into the circle is to use the helicopter on either side of the arena. Its second ability is a magnet that pulls everything into its center. Just make sure the mobs you’re trying to move are inside the green targeting circle.

5. Bosses sometimes drop gears on the ground. These can either add time or summon extra bosses. Be careful—gears with sparkles summon a mob with a lightning circle around it, which can mess up your cherry bomb bonus area. Avoid those.

6. Finally, don’t forget you can click on your own Burner Clock to add time or use your Horn to summon more enemies when you're ready.

Hope this helps!

Comment by Kvasi

Don't do it solo, just don't.
In a group with other players you get 1000000 without even trying.

Comment by karnageGB

If you have access to a tank spec - go solo, stack up the double points and take everything in the overlap. Got 1.1M points in week 5 using 2 horns,1 big clock, 1 small clock and clicking all the gears which only gave time.

Comment by gp12345us

High scores earned in previous weeks will count for the current week high score. You just need to finish a match to get the achievement to register your score.

For example, in week five I got a score over a million. Today when I did my first match of week six, I got a score of 200k. When the match finished, I got credit for my week five high score of over a million as my week six high score and the achievement completed.

Comment by ThyrazOnSpotify

Just trust me on this one, do this with a group of real players. Tried to solo it, really tried hard and got 950k then tried again with a full group and got 2.4 mil score... It's just way easier.

Comment by JoyBoybink

Do not be like me and tryhard solo. Do it in a group. It is extremely easy in group. Just 3 dps + heal & tank and your good to go.

Comment by Viktoria

I solo'd this as a Shadow Priest today. Final score was 1105522. My tank died once and after that I died once as well. When the last mob died I had a little over 500k base score, with multipliers I landed over a million.

This is a slow strategy that might not even require Burner Clocks.

I used the "challenging" shrimpy fish debuff (40% less damage done, 40% increased damage take, 2x kill and survival bonus).
This does require a decent amount o Bullhorns of Calling so if an attempt is going badly or you circle positioning sucks just leave instance and go again. Or move stuff around with master keys if you like (suck mobs into circles, move zeppelin circle).

The strategy I used is pretty straight forward:
- time is not relevant, you can space out the gears and optionally Burner Clocks, but time will eventually run out
-Stack the cheerbombs but place them well away from the circle that is created by the Zeppelin at the end of the trash phase; the robots that spawn from the cogwheels will move between these two points making it easier to stand in the bonus circles, also make sure the stuff you kill / the tank is inside of these as well (life grip helps)
- before the second boss wave it's whatever do your best to kill everything inside of the (stacked bomb) circles; you could consider popping one sparkly cogwheel in the first phase to get rid of one robot quick (all robots should be killed eventually)
- the most annoying bosses imo are Broggok (poison patches which might make it difficult to stand in the bonus circles) and Chrono-Lord Epoch (occasional debuff which basically makes your haste drop to zero); best to burn down Epoch first
- when you reach the second boss wave always focus dps one boss or robot down, when there is one boss left start using cogwheels (one at a time); this can either add time or spawn a boss, you can compensate the lack of either by using a bullhorn of calling or a burner clock to keep everything rolling; it is important that you always have one boss, or when you run out of bosses some summoned trash, alive or the encounter ends
- really the most important thing in the second phase is that you keep everything manageable so ideally you have max 1 boss and 1 robot up at a time
- at the start of the second boss wave Molten Slags start to spawn from the lava basin that appears; focus these down as they hurt alot, after a couple (2? 3?) they stop spawning
- when you have dealt with the (total of) 3 robots (from the cogwheels) and the molten slags its just a matter of keeping 1 boss alive and spawning more bosses and after that trash with Bullhorns of Calling until you get over 500k score and the multipliers should push you over 1M at the end of the encounter... because you ate the fishy at the start right?

Comment by Vacc

Got 1.35 million solo as fury warrior. Use the hotdog as it lets you reposition when your idiot tank keeps them out of the circle. For the longest time I tried to overlap the circles in like a venn diagram till I saw someonese comment here that the sparking cogs are what spawn the robots. With that in mind I stacked them all 3 on top of each other. Dont click the sparky cogs, kill the first wave of bosses, click the other 7 cogs as they come. I waited for wave 2 last boss to be on about 20% and used 1 horn, then when that boss was almost dead I clicked all 3 sparking cogs to get all 10 and used a stop watch to top up time as the boss died. That way you never need to deal with the robots.

Given how much I blew past it (prior to this my best was like 800k) probably didn't even need the horn.

Comment by Kronatan

dont forget to finish this at 6th week. Cos after that event ENDs. If you have good gear - just create custom group "duos 1 million score" and invite experienced ppl with proper gear (its anyway scale to 619 in this season). Bring 2-3 horns and 2-3 clocks. You also can eat "challenging food". During event I even died once. Also other ppl didnt use clocks and horns. But final score was 2.25 millions anyway. So in fact its very easy. Dont waste time to solo it. It much harder

Also achieve pops immediately after you see final score. You dont have to relog to get achieve.

Comment by Kevkos

I got my high score of over 1kk in week 4. I was unable to repeat it in week 5, though i got over 900k that week. This week (week 6) I got 600k on first run and achievement as well. Before relog it was showing me as usual 0/1000000 for week 6. After relog scores got updated - weeks 3 and 4 show high score from week 5. Weeks 5 and 6 show my high score from week 4. Weeks 1 and 2 probably have their respective high scores? Though I'm not sure. Anyway as long as it works.

Comment by Olla

The event does end tomorrow, this going to be a reoccurring event? I don't see it on the calendars future events.
I am ONE podium away from the achievement/ I missed two weeks for the Week 5 & 6 scores.

Personal Best: 1,513,558

Comment by DaggersEdge

My solo strategy for 1M as a 641 fury warrior

Prerequisites: Complete Who are the Dastardly Duos?, buy Dastardly Banner for 100 Resonance Crystals from Wodin the Troll-Servant and put it on your action bar. Earn Inside Connections by destroying 3 props. Have ample Bullhorn of Calling and Master Keys by completing matches.

STRATEGY: SLOW AND EASY

1. Order hot dog ("Another challenge! Indigestion please...") from Wodin the Troll-Servant.

2. Enter with Xyggie Marou and click "Challenging" Hot Dog on left and Vial of Healing on right. If you die, you must click vial again.

3. Time does not matter and will likely expire.

4. Kill trash, find 2 Cheery Bombs from the prop trees and planters. Align them on top of each other. If the bombs fill up before you stack them, leave the instance group and start afresh.

5. Move SCORE BONUS zeppelin to stack with the green circles.

6. A periodic debuff from hot dog, Gassy, will knock back enemies in front of you; position yourself accordingly when your screen dims green.

7. Use Dastardly Banner and Pyro Machine on the right or left of the Dome to reposition enemies in the circles. Use helicopters liberally when you need help.

8. Click the non-sparkly Animatronic Gears that drop on the ground as they appear until a boss spawns.

9. Use Bullhorn of Calling to spawn another boss when you can handle it, especially near or on the last boss of round 2 (which you will know when a second boss does not appear on its own). Halt or slow DPS on boss(es) if trash reinforcements are summoned and wait out the 30-second cooldown to try again. One boss must stay alive. (My first 3 uses were bosses and 2 trash after that.)

10. Only click the sparkling gears at the very end if you are desperate to spawn a boss. Goblin Zapper(s) will come out and travel in the green circles—use your banner to move enemies out of there, if necessary. (All 3 spawned trash for me.)

11. If you have a 500k base score, you should reach 1M when you win the match due to the multipliers. I died twice. My match lasted 17 minutes.

12. Profit.

Many helicopters were harmed in the making of this guide.

Comment by fysk982

I was able to complete the 1 million achievement without using any bullhorns of calling, so if you're like me and don't want to grind them out, here's what to do:

-Stack up the 3x double point circles as usual
-Engage the bosses, but don't click any of the gears
-Keep fighting the bosses (but don't kill them) until the time runs out
-Once the timer has run out, the gears will always summon extra bosses (or at least they did for me). So start clicking the gears at a pace that you can handle, making sure you always click one before the boss you're fighting dies.
-Kill everything in the circles and you should get your 1M achieve!

Comment by AziNoctis

You do NOT have to run every week, the weeks are just a check in for the achievement to see if you qualify for that high score. Just get 1 million on the final week and you earn this achievement... I followed the weeks and a guild member got the achievement at the same time as I did on their very first run when we ran together.

Comment by tuxedobob

In case anyone's still trying to do this in the wee hours of the event:

1. Find a tank.
2. Stack the three bonus zones on top of each other as exactly as possible. The goblin zappers will go to the middle.
3. Have the tank fight the mobs inside the bonus circles, but outside the zapper circles. Move as necessary in the circular path between these boundaries.
4. Liberally use the items you have earned from previous attempts.
5. Don't summon too many bosses at once, but do fight all bosses possible, try to keep your timer high, but fighting all bosses in the bonus circles will probably accomplish the achievement on its own.
