It is possible to unlock two achievements at once. If a Triple Kill is accomplished with a Sword, the player will unlock both the Triple Kill and [[Steppin' Razor]] achievements, and if a fourth player is killed, the [[Overkill (achievement)|Overkill]] achievement can also be obtained. On certain maps, other objects like the [[Mongoose]] or the [[Shotgun]] can be used to get a second achievement.
