Do *NOT* use the pots on top of the actual gate. When you exit the "vehicle" it kicks you up and backward a ways (and off the narrow gate), causing you to fall to your death. If you use the ones on the wider towers you'll be fine.

Killing 60 mantid in a very short time will grant the achievement, Spreading the Warmth.
Most of these mobs seem to be bugged, they are evading every bucket I throw at them.
Some of the groups of mobs are working though, so keep trying if you get stuck on it.Edit: I noticed that the ones running around aimlessly were all evading, but the few that were standing still in groups were all hit with no problem. Working as intended? /shrug

Description
The mantid are attacking again, and we're a bit short-handed up on the wall. In hopes that you'd help, I saved one of the more fun posts for you: the hot oil! It's a bit more violent and a bit less scandalous than it sounds. It's simple really. Get up on the wall, find one of the oil stations, and dump it on any of the mantid pouring up against the wall. It's very effective.
