100% Achievement Guide
Hunt: Showdown has a broad set of Steam achievements covering hunter progression, combat milestones, boss encounters, environmental interactions, and mode-specific objectives. Several achievements are hidden on Steam and only reveal their descriptions after you unlock them.
100% completion takes roughly 200 to 400 hours depending on your PvP skill, match luck, and how efficiently you target specific achievements during normal play.

Hunter and Progression
These track your long-term progress through the Bloodline and hunter systems.
| Achievement | How to Unlock | Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Initiation Complete | Complete Trainee Mode. Triggers at Bloodline Rank 11 when safety protections are lifted. | Unmissable if you play the tutorial. Do it first. |
| Welcome to Tier 2 | Reach Bloodline Tier 2 (approximately rank 34). | Comes naturally through normal play. |
| Welcome to Tier 3 | Reach Bloodline Tier 3 (approximately rank 67). | Comes naturally. Retirement at level 50 provides 10,000 Bloodline XP per hunter to speed this up. |
| Bloodline Peak | Reach Bloodline rank 100. | Long-term milestone. Signals eligibility for Prestige resetting. |
| Fifty Shades of Survival | Get a single hunter to level 50. | Requires keeping one hunter alive across many matches. Use the Death Cheat trait to minimize risk during the final levels. |
| Five-Ace Hand | Have five level 50 hunters in your roster at the same time. Global completion: ~5.2%. | Park level 50 hunters in your roster and use new recruits for matches to avoid risking them. Do not retire any until you have all five. |
| Convalescent Home | Retire 25 hunters. Each hunter must reach level 50 before retirement. | Time-consuming after Update 2.8 removed early retirement. Each hunter must hit the level 50 cap. |
| Weapons Expert | Unlock any 50 pieces of gear. | Prioritize using base weapons to unlock variants rapidly. Comes naturally through varied weapon use. |
| Master Headhunter | Recruit 100 hunters from the recruitment pool. | Cumulative. Every hunter you hire counts, even free ones. |

| All In A Day's Work | Complete a daily challenge. | Check your challenge list before each session. Most daily challenges are simple tasks. |
| 7 Days Later | Complete a weekly challenge. | Weekly challenges give better rewards. Plan your sessions around them. |
Combat and Bounty
These track kills, boss encounters, and specific combat feats.
| Achievement | How to Unlock | Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Vestal Contract | Complete your first Bounty Hunt contract (kill boss, banish, extract). | Your first full loop. Comes naturally. |

| Deadeye | Kill 100 enemy hunters with headshots. | Cumulative across all matches. High Velocity ammo and scoped variants help. |

| The Cleansing | Kill every boss type at least once. | Play enough matches and you will encounter all boss types. Butcher and Spider appear most frequently. Hellborn and Rotjaw are less common since they are Wild Targets. |
| Butcher's Bill | Kill the Butcher 10 times. | Cumulative. Pick Bounty Hunt contracts where the Butcher is the target. |
| Arachnophobia | Kill the Spider 10 times. | Same approach. Target Spider contracts. |

Hidden and Environmental
These are hidden on Steam and involve specific interactions with the game world.

| Playing Tonight: Buddy Bolden | Play the gramophone and the piano in the same match. | Both are interactive world objects found in saloons and large buildings. Check compound interiors carefully. |
| Louisiana Fried Chicken | Burn 50 chicken coops. | Throw lanterns, fire bombs, or fusees at chicken coops. Cumulative across matches. Prioritize incendiary ammo for efficiency. |
| Battering Ram | Break 50 doors. | Sprint through closed doors or destroy them with heavy melee (sledgehammers, axes). Cumulative. Happens naturally. |
| Exploration Tour | Visit every named location on a single map in one match. | Requires a full map circuit. Bring Stamina Shots and the Greyhound trait. Use a free hunter with no valuable gear. |
| Supply Tour | Visit every supply point on a single map in one match. | Similar to Exploration Tour but you need to interact with supply crates, not just visit locations. Bring Stamina Shots. |
| Swamp Tourist | Visit specific geographic points of interest. | Tied to Stillwater Bayou exploration. Visit named landmarks and geographic features. |
| Sightseeing In The South | Complete a broad geographic exploration objective. | Requires visiting many locations across multiple matches. Bring stamina to traverse maps quickly. |
| Do Not Disturb | Find an outhouse (toilet), hide inside, and close the door. | Outhouses are common on compound perimeters. Look for small standalone wooden structures near the edges of compounds. |
| In the Footsteps of Flaxman Low | Investigate exactly 250 clues. | Cumulative across all matches. Comes naturally over dozens of play sessions. |
tip
For "Exploration Tour" and "Supply Tour," run during off-peak hours when fewer hunters are on the server. The less competition, the more freely you can move across the map. Use a free hunter with no valuable gear so dying costs you nothing.
Soul Survivor Mode
These achievements require playing the Soul Survivor game mode.

|---|---|---|
| Live to Fight Another Day | Survive a Soul Survivor match (extract alive). | You do not have to win. Just survive until the match ends or extract early. |

| Charitable Soul | Gift a weapon or item to another player. | Use the gifting feature in the store. Costs Hunt Dollars or Blood Bonds. |

warning
"Five-Ace Hand" requires keeping five hunters alive at level 50 simultaneously. This means no deaths across five separate hunters over many play sessions. If any of the five die, you need to level a replacement from scratch. Play conservatively with your high-level hunters and never bring all five into risky matches back-to-back. Global completion rate is roughly 5.2%.
