Combat Feats

MOUSE's arena shootouts are a playground for these challenges. Most aren't missable and fall into place if you fight aggressively and abuse the environment — explosive barrels, heavy crushing hazards, and tightly-packed enemy groups. Two are one-off, location-specific gags, so watch for those.

Boom Town

SilverFull guideCollapse

Kill 20 enemies by throwing or kicking explosive barrels.

TypeSilver
MissableNo
Difficulty3/10
TrackingCumulative

What it asks

Rack up 20 kills where you physically throw or kick an explosive barrel into enemies — not shoot it.

How to earn it

  1. Pick up a barrel (or kick a loose one) and hurl it into a group, then let it blow on impact.
  2. Favour rooms that spawn clusters of weak enemies so one barrel tags several.
  3. It's cumulative across the whole game — chip away every fight.

Pro tips

  • Don't confuse this with Firestarter, which wants you to shoot barrels. Alternate the two methods to build both counters at once.

Firestarter

SilverFull guideCollapse

Blast 20 enemies by shooting explosive barrels.

TypeSilver
MissableNo
Difficulty3/10
TrackingCumulative

What it asks

Score 20 kills caused by shooting an explosive barrel near enemies.

How to earn it

  1. Lure enemies next to the red barrels scattered around arenas, then pop the barrel with any gun.
  2. Wait for a tight group before firing to maximise the kills per barrel.

M-m-muenster Kill!

SilverFull guideCollapse

Kill 10 enemies in 20 seconds.

TypeSilver
MissableNo
Difficulty4/10

What it asks

Defeat 10 enemies inside a single 20-second window.

How to earn it

  1. Find a high-density wave — later arenas throw big groups at you.
  2. Soften the room, then start the clock with a multi-kill: an AoE weapon, the D-Mousifier, or a barrel.
  3. Keep the pressure on with rapid fire and explosives so the timer never resets.

Spike-D 16 TONS

SilverFull guideCollapse

Crush 20 enemies with heavy objects.

TypeSilver
MissableNo
Difficulty3/10
TrackingCumulative

What it asks

Get 20 kills using environmental crushing hazards — falling weights, heavy props, the classic cartoon 16-ton drop.

How to earn it

  1. Watch for suspended weights, crates and cartoon hazards in arenas; shoot the release or lure enemies underneath.
  2. Every level reuses these gags, so make a habit of dropping them on grouped enemies.
  3. Cumulative across the game.

Hole-y Trinity

SilverFull guideCollapse

Kill three enemies with a single shot.

TypeSilver
MissableNo
Difficulty3/10

What it asks

Land one shot that kills three enemies at once.

How to earn it

  1. Use a piercing or explosive weapon — or shoot a barrel — and wait for three enemies to line up or cluster.
  2. A heavy round through a tight trio, or one barrel detonation catching three, both count.

Pro tips

  • Easiest in choke points where enemies funnel toward you single-file.

Quint's Delight

Silver⚠ MissableFull guideCollapse

Kick the Wallop Bay shark until it drops a license plate.

TypeSilver
MissableYes
Difficulty2/10

What it asks

A one-off gag at Wallop Bay — repeatedly kick the shark there until it coughs up a license plate.

How to earn it

  1. Reach the Wallop Bay area during its level.
  2. Find the shark and melee-kick it over and over until the plate drops.
  3. Pick up the plate to confirm the feat.
⚠ Missable — Wallop Bay is a specific location you may not revisit. Do this while you're there.

Goud'em!

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Kill 5 enemies in 10 seconds.

TypeBronze
MissableNo
Difficulty2/10

What it asks

A lighter speed-kill challenge — 5 enemies down in 10 seconds.

How to earn it

  1. Any decent group plus an explosive or rapid-fire weapon clears it.
  2. You'll very likely earn it naturally on the way to M-m-muenster Kill!
Stacks with: M-m-muenster Kill!

Herr Flick of the Wrist

Bronze⚠ MissableFull guideCollapse

Punch a BMP agitator on a street corner.

TypeBronze
MissableYes
Difficulty1/10

What it asks

Melee-punch one of the Big Mouse Party agitators that stand on street corners ranting at passers-by.

How to earn it

  1. In the city, look and listen for a BMP agitator soap-boxing on a corner.
  2. Walk up and throw a single melee punch — that's the whole trophy.
⚠ Missable — agitators appear at specific corners and moments. Punch the first one you come across.
