Xinrut.1743:

Impossible to complete LA Exterminator achievo solo as an engineer since the karka rifle is lost when entering water (need to traverse waterways to access some of the karkas). It will auto swap to harpoon gun.

Thanks for the reports. The team is aware of this and will roll out a fix when they can do so. One workaround mentioned in this thread and confirmed as functional: Unequip all kits (do not have them in your skill bar) when you attempt to complete this achievement and you should be able to do so.

I can confirm that this does NOT work reliably. I switched to all elixers on my engineer to avoid this issue, but it still occurred when getting out of the water at the bottom of the jump into Sharkmaw Caverns. I had to switch to my mesmer to be able to complete the achievement.

Confirming that while today’s patch changed the behavior, it didn’t fix it. I used one after the patch (after paying 10g for it on the TP), and it gave me the endless toy golem recipe instead.
