Achievement Overview & Video Walkthrough
Super Battle Golf combines traditional arcade golf mechanics with chaotic multiplayer combat. Among the various challenges available, the Safety First achievement requires players to successfully disarm an active landmine during a match. Completing this challenge rewards players with unique customization options to show off in future matches.
To complete the challenge, you must understand the difference between player-deployed hazards and map-based hazards. Only landmines placed by an active player in the match will trigger the achievement progression when disarmed.

| Achievement Name | Primary Requirement | Reward Items | Map Eligibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safety First | Disarm 1 player-placed landmine | Boot Club, Sunglasses | Custom/Standard (no default mines) |
Do not attempt this achievement on maps with default pre-placed hazards, such as Hilltops or Blastoff. The game logic only registers disarms on landmines that have been actively thrown by a player during the round.
Step-by-Step Disarming Guide
Disarming a landmine requires precise positioning and timing. If you approach the hazard too quickly or without the proper equipment active, you risk detonating the explosive, which launches your character away and ruins the attempt. Follow these steps to complete the process safely.
Obtain the Landmine Item
Acquire a landmine during gameplay. In standard matches, these items spawn inside item boxes scattered across the course. Alternatively, have a friendly player acquire one.
Deploy the Hazard
Have the player holding the landmine drop it onto a flat section of the course. The deploying player should right-click to throw the mine forward onto the ground.
Approach with Club Equipped
Equip your golf club and walk slowly toward the deployed landmine. Keeping your club active is necessary for the interaction prompt to appear.
Trigger the Disarm Action
Once you are within close range of the mine, press the interaction key (default key: E). Your character will perform the disarm animation, securing the achievement.
| Action Type | Control Input | Stance Required | Resulting Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deploy Mine | Right-Click | Item Active | Places explosive hazard on the ground |
| Approach Mine | Movement Keys | Club Equipped | Triggers the interaction prompt |
| Disarm Mine | E Key | Club Equipped | Safely removes mine, awards achievement |
Ensure your character is not sprinting when approaching the explosive. Running too fast can cause you to overshoot the interaction zone and trigger the detonation radius.
Match Setup & Strategy
While it is possible to complete this achievement in public matchmaking, coordinating in a private lobby is much more reliable. Public matches are often chaotic, with opponents actively trying to disrupt your shots or detonate hazards prematurely. Setting up a controlled environment ensures you can complete the requirements without interference.
Private Lobby Setup
- Host a custom password-protected lobby.
- Invite at least one friend to help deploy items.
- Select a simple, flat map for easy item collection.
Item Collection
- Focus on collecting item boxes near the spawn.
- Cycle through unwanted items by throwing them away.
- Keep searching until one player obtains a landmine.
Safe Execution
- Find a quiet corner away from the main hole.
- Place the mine on level ground to avoid sliding.
- Execute the disarm steps without time pressure.
| Setup Parameter | Recommended Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Lobby Type | Private Custom Match | Prevents random players from disrupting the setup |
| Map Selection | Flat Grasslands | Provides clear visibility and easy item gathering |
| Player Count | 2 Players | Minimum required to deploy and disarm the item |
If you are playing solo, you can search for community lobbies or ask for assistance in community forums. Many players are willing to take turns deploying mines to help each other unlock the rewards.
Cosmetic Rewards Analysis
Unlocking the Safety First achievement rewards players with two distinct cosmetic items: the Boot Club and the Sunglasses. These items are purely cosmetic and do not alter the physics or power of your shots, allowing you to customize your character's look without affecting competitive balance.
The Boot Club replaces your standard driver visual model with a comical boot attached to the end of the shaft. The Sunglasses cosmetic adds a stylish accessory to your character's face model, which can be combined with various hats and outfits.
| Reward Item | Equipment Slot | Aesthetic Style | Gameplay Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boot Club | Golf Club / Driver | Comedic / Novelty | None (Purely Cosmetic) |
| Sunglasses | Headwear / Face | Stylish / Modern | None (Purely Cosmetic) |
After unlocking the achievement, return to the main menu and open the customization cabinet. You can equip your new boot club and sunglasses immediately from your inventory.
Safety First Checklist
Use this checklist to verify that you have met all the necessary conditions before attempting to disarm the explosive. Missing any of these steps may result in a failed attempt or a missed achievement trigger.
Pre-Attempt Verification:
- Verify you are in a match with at least one other player who can deploy items
- Ensure the landmine was thrown by a player and is not a default map hazard
- Confirm your golf club is actively equipped before walking near the mine
- Approach the mine slowly to avoid accidental detonation
- Press the E key immediately when the prompt appears on your screen
If you accidentally detonate the mine, you must find another landmine item and try again. Detonating the mine does not lock you out of the achievement permanently, but it forces you to restart the setup process.
FAQ
Q: Can I unlock the achievement by disarming my own landmine?
No, you must disarm a landmine that has been deployed by another player in the match. Self-placed mines do not trigger the achievement.
Q: Why does the disarm prompt not appear when I approach the mine?
This usually happens if you do not have your golf club equipped. Ensure your club is out before entering the mine's proximity.
Q: Do the default mines on the Hilltops map count for this achievement?
No, default map hazards do not count. The achievement specifically requires you to disarm a player-placed landmine.
Q: Can I complete this challenge in a solo offline mode?
No, you need at least one other active player in the match to deploy the landmine for you to disarm.
If the achievement does not unlock immediately after a successful disarm, check your network connection or try restarting the game client to refresh your achievement status.
