In the Never Surrender scenario, there is a button panel that starts the next wave, skipping the two minute pause between waves. I got Scrap Delivery on wave 196 very easily by using hundreds of copy and pasted missile sentries that were placed around the drones spawn area; even the larger waves lasted only seconds.

UPDATE: the 1000 drone was completed around 195-200 waves for me.

A7VGEL 20 Jun @ 6:39am

im on wave 190 still havent killed 1000 drones

e-girl 6 Sep, 2023 @ 10:08am

You need to survive 30 and 100 waves for "Bring It On" and "I'm Doing My Part".
Also there´s one achievement missing in the guide "Death Wish", where you have to survive 5 hours on armageddon mode :)

Just as @Limmin said, in "Pertam Orbiter" scenario, for "Crayon Box" achievement, you need to put control seat instead and seat on it (use it). just put ATM do nothing. exit the kitchen where you spawn in, go to the lower and wider room to put "Control Seat"

LethalOwl 6 Mar, 2023 @ 6:16pm

Not sure if it's just a me-thing, but doing the drone killer scenario my achievement for 10 waves didn't pop until I exited to the menu at around wave 15 because I thought it was bugged. So perhaps consider editing the info there to tell people to not just exit as I did, and just keep killing waves of drones. Not sure if this resets my wave-count for when I decide to try again, but just to be safe I'll just keep slaying drones for 175 waves, I guess. Takes way too long for them to respawn :D

Ultionys [author] 11 Feb, 2023 @ 10:50pm

@Limmin thank you for your impot, I've added your method to the guide (and, of course, credited you ;) )

Limmin 11 Feb, 2023 @ 3:01pm

When I loaded up the "Pertam Orbiter" scenario and added one new item--I think it was an ATM for depositing cash--I got the "Crayon Box" achievement. I suppose that this station already had a very large variety of colors in use.

Aziz 17 Sep, 2022 @ 5:08am

thanks a lot ♥

Biggs 12 Jul, 2022 @ 2:14pm

Is the 100 waves cumulative or does it need to be done in one setting? Took it up to wave 50~ before my power went out and didn't get the cheev. So pretty sure the "it only takes 30 waves" is inaccurate as of the date of me posting this.
