Earning the Six Degrees of Small Arms achievement

There are all sorts of neat achievements to earn as part of your Gamerscore. Some are easy as pie to unlock like getting Pummel Weed in Kameo. Others are near impossible to get like getting every character to level 75 in Final Fantasy XI or earning “seriously…” in Gears of War which requires 10,000 online kills. When Microsoft announced Small Arms, their Smash Brothers like title, they had one unique achievement the six degrees of Small Arms. The only way to earn this is to play with someone who has the achievement already. At the beginning only the developers had it, so the only to get it was to play with someone who played with the developers. Now it looks like the achievement has fallen into the common pile, everyone who plays online seems to have it now. In just a few months the achievement spread like wildfire across the community, now that’s fast viral spreading. Too bad you only get zero points for unlocking it.
