    As long as you have the Balloonicorn or the Balloonicorpse, you can get the achievement alone with commands.
    Be sure to equip the item on your loadout. For this example, we'll use the Pyro.

    Step 1: Start by loading the map "itemtest" using the "Create server" menu or with the following game command:
    map itemtest

    This map is very small and enemies will spawn around you.
    Choose Blu team, then Pyro with the Balloonicorn.

    Step 2: Disable respawn time with this command:
    mp_disable_respawn_times 1

    Step 3: Create an enemy Pyro using the following command:
    sv_cheats 1; bot -team red -class pyro; sv_cheats 0

    Step 4: To make the bot have the same loadout than you, type the following command:
    sv_cheats 1;bot_mirror bot01;sv_cheats 0
    (where Bot01 is the name of the bot)

    Now proceed to kill the bot with the Balloonicorn. After he respawn, you have to repeat the Step 4 to reapply your loadout on him.

    To get the achievement faster, you can repeat the Step 3 to spawn more enemies. You'll have to edit the command on Step 4 and change the bot's name.
    Or group the commands like this:
    sv_cheats 1;bot_mirror bot01;bot_mirror bot02;bot_mirror bot03;bot_mirror bot04;bot_mirror bot05;sv_cheats 0

    Some bots will stay spectator until you execute this command:
    mp_teams_unbalance_limit 0

    Have fun!

    Balloonicorn pets are pretty scarce these days, making this achievement rather difficult to obtain. Here are some tips to help you in your quest:

    1. ALWAYS equip the Pyrovision goggles regardless of your class or loadout. This will allow you to see who has Balloonicorns equipped.

    2. Once you have found an opponent with a Balloonicorn, relentlessly target them and try to avoid switching sides. On the other hand, if one of your teammates has a Balloonicorn equipped, look for the first opportunity to switch sides so you can target them.

    3. Consider sending a friend request to players with Balloonicorns and ask them if they would be willing to boost. This will speed up the process considerably.

    4. Troll idle servers searching for players with Balloonicorns. Once you have found one, you can target them repeatedly to rack up the kills. (NOTE: This is how I obtained the achievement.)
