info

Some achievements have known tracking bugs. Where applicable, these are noted below. Check the Steam community guides for the latest patch status on bugged achievements.

Combat and Eradication

These track your kills against ARC machines and other players.

Achievement	How to Unlock	Tips
Racking Them Up	Destroy 50 ARC enemies.	Early progression milestone. Comes naturally within your first few hours.
Trail of Destruction	Destroy 100 ARC enemies.	Cumulative across all raids. Keep playing.
Shots Fired	Deal 1,000 damage to ARC enemies.	Comes naturally in your first session. One of the most commonly unlocked achievements in the game.
Bringing Down the Big Guns	Destroy a Rocketeer.	48% global completion. Standard heavy encounter on mid-tier maps. You will run into Rocketeers naturally on Blue Gate and higher.
Into the Breach	Destroy a Bastion.	Comes naturally as you fight armored targets on mid-to-late maps.
A Tale for the Ages	Destroy The Queen.	8% global completion. Requires a full squad with high-tier gear and coordinated DPS. See the ARC Machines guide for tactics.
Death From Above	(Hidden) Deal 50 damage to any enemy while riding atop a Rocketeer.	Requires vaulting onto the Rocketeer's chassis during combat and attacking while mounted. Highly situational.
Crossed the Threshold	Knock out a Raider (another player).	Your first PvP kill. Comes from normal gameplay.
Unyielding	Knock out 10 Raiders.	Cumulative PvP kills across all raids.
Up Close and Personal	Knock out a Raider using a Raider Tool (melee).	Requires getting into melee range and finishing a player with your tool. Best attempted on a downed opponent.
Three Birds, One Stone	Destroy 3 ARC enemies with a single Wolfpack grenade.	Wolfpack grenades unlock at Explosives Station Level 3. Find a cluster of Ticks or Wasps in a tight corridor and throw into the center. Dam Battlegrounds has good spawn clusters.
Snitches get Stitches	Destroy a Snitch with a Stitcher weapon.	The Stitcher is a basic craftable rifle. Carry one until the unlock pops. Around 37% of players have this one.
Blindsided	Destroy a Sentinel with a Raider Tool (melee).	7% global completion. Extremely situational. Requires sneaking up on a Sentinel and finishing it in melee range.
Hook, Line, and Sinker	Use a Lure Grenade to make a drone attack another drone.	Was bugged at launch. Fixed in the Headwinds patch (1.13.0) in January 2026 and now tracks correctly. Requires a Lure Grenade, a Utility Station craft.
Enemy of My Enemy	(Hidden) Get another Raider downed by ARC enemies you summoned with a Snitch Scanner.	The rarest achievement in the game at under 1% global completion. Its launch-era attribution bug was fixed in patch 1.13.0, so failed attempts now come down to setup, not tracking.

Extraction, Survival, and Traversal

These reward map knowledge, positioning, and clutch escapes.

Achievement	How to Unlock	Tips
Rite of Passage	Safely return to Speranza for the first time.	Unmissable. Triggers at the end of the tutorial or your first extraction.
Escape Artist	Safely return to Speranza 100 times.	Long-term milestone. No need to grind.
Well-Traveled	Safely return from Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, and Spaceport.	One extraction from each map. Free loadouts count.
Behind Closed Doors	Visit a locked room on Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, or Spaceport.	71% global completion. Locked rooms open with the matching key, which drops as raid loot. Extract with any key you find, then bring it to the map it belongs to and look for the door with the red light.
Into Thin Air	Safely return to Speranza through a Raider Hatch.	Raider Hatches are underground exits opened with a single-use Raider Hatch Key. The hatch stays open for about 15 seconds once unlocked, so commit the moment you turn the key.
In the Nick of Time	Safely return to Speranza with less than 5 seconds left in the round.	Relies on the extraction timer grace period. If you call the elevator before the timer hits zero, it still arrives.
Not Over Till It's Over	Safely return to Speranza while downed.	Your squadmates must secure the extraction zone and complete the timer while you bleed out. Coordinate with your team.
Top of the World	(Hidden) Reach the top of the Launch Towers in Spaceport.	You must trigger the peak hitbox yourself. Nearby players do not share the unlock. Free loadout is fine.
A Vendetta Is Born	(Hidden) Get knocked down and finished while inside an extraction point.	Highlights the danger of extraction camping. This will happen to you eventually.
Just Dropping In	(Hidden) Get hit by a Supply Drop.	Requires standing under a dynamic event supply drop. Bad positioning that accidentally gets you an achievement.

Economy, Crafting, and Player Interaction

These track your progression through the crafting system and social mechanics.

Achievement	How to Unlock	Tips
The Long Haul	Reach a total lifetime loot value of 1,000,000.	Massive cumulative milestone. Requires consistent high-tier map farming.
The Big Haul	Return to Speranza with 50,000 worth of loot in a single run.	Requires a flawless extraction from an endgame zone with a full inventory. Stella Montis and Riven Tides have the best loot tables.
Scavenger	Search 50 loot containers.	Unlocks naturally within your first few hours.
Getting Serious	Upgrade a Workshop station to Level 2.	Requires intermediate ARC components and refining materials.
Expert Weaponsmith	Upgrade a weapon to Tier IV.	Requires Gunsmith Level 3 and significant material investment.
Bells and Whistles	Have 4 weapon mods on a single weapon.	62% global completion. Easily achieved once you reach mid-tier weapons. Mod slots unlock with weapon tier upgrades.
Comparative Study	Use 4 different weapons to deal damage in the Practice Range.	Simple. Go to the Practice Range in Speranza and fire four different weapons at targets.
Back from the Brink	Revive a squadmate 10 times.	42% global completion. Cumulative across all raids. Standard cooperative play.
See You Never	(Hidden) Return to Speranza while leaving a teammate behind.	Triggers when you extract while a squadmate is still active on the surface. Will happen naturally.
Heart of Gold	Be thanked 10 times in direct response to something you did.	Uses the contextual communication wheel. Help squadmates (drop items, revive, share callouts) and they can thank you through the comms system.
For Science!	Get gas, stun, and burn statuses at the same time.	Dangerous. Often requires deliberate self-sabotage with different grenade types. Have healing ready.

warning

Early player speculation flagged "Legend of Speranza" as a missable story achievement. That guess was wrong. It unlocks at Raider Level 75, which makes it a long grind and not a missable, and no achievement in the current list depends on one-shot story decisions.

Did you know?

The Bombardier's rear cylinder is its fastest kill

It is the quickest route through that armor by a wide margin, so circle behind while a squadmate holds its attention from the front and the fight is over in seconds. Trading shots with one head on is how a Bombardier ends up costing you a full kit.
