Story and Decision Achievements
Best Served Cold

Kill the Degenerate.



Mandatory achievement.



The next set of achievements depends on a decision you make in the mission Baker's Panic Room. If you decide to spare Baker, you'll get "The Enemy of My Enemy..." immediately and "...is my Friend" by the end of the game.


The Enemy of my Enemy...

Spare the Baker.



...is my Friend

Finish the campaign with the Baker spared.



Similarly, if you decide to kill Baker, you'll get "Cause and Effect" and "On My Own" in the same way.


Cause and Effect

Kill the Baker.



On My Own

Finish the campaign with the Baker killed.
Elimination Achievements
Sweet Dreams

Choke an enemy out.



Self-explanatory. You will get it at the start of the very first mission.


Rude to Interrupt

Knock a startled enemy out



Get behind a patrolling enemy, wait for them to turn around and punch their lights out.


Knock-knock...

Knock an enemy out with a door bash.



Either wait for a patrolling enemy to get close to a door or aggro someone, run into a room, close the door behind you and wait for them to chase after you. Time it well, because otherwise you'll unlock...


...who's there?

Get killed by a door bash.



...this. Play the game on Masochist so that the door one shots you.


Whodunit?

Take out an enemy that's investigating an enemy body.



Grab a body, throw it in the path of a patrolling enemy and as soon as they notice it, eliminate them.


Master Baiter

Bait an enemy by talking nonsense, then take them out.



Stand behind an enemy, press B and eliminate them.


Good Vocals

Bait an enemy with your microphone, then take them out.



Same thing, only you need to hook up your actual microphone and press F while talking into it.


Lucky Shot

Kill 3 enemies with guns under 5 seconds.



Somebody Stop Me!

Kill 6 enemies with guns in under 5 seconds.



Room Clearing Service

Kill 5 enemies with a shotgun in 10 seconds.



Load up "Epilogue", throw a nade at the two guys talking and wait for enemies to arrive. Then start blasting with the Remington shotgun.





You can also try the same setup as for the frag kills achievements. Start the mission "Abandoned Warehouse" with a shotgun, knock out the first six or seven guards, stack them up at the same place as in the screenshot few lines below. Then make some noise so that the other enemies will investigate. If lucky, they will start to wake up the pile of knocked out guys. Once the group is big enough, emerge from the shadows and start blasting.


Beginner Tactician

Kill 3 (or more) enemies with a single frag grenade.



Precious Explosives

Kill 5 (or more) enemies with a single frag grenade.



Perfect Opportunity

Kill 8 (or more) enemies with a single frag grenade.



Choke/punch out 8 enemies, stack them next to each other and throw a nade at them. I personally recommend "Abandoned Warehouse", because at the start you have enough enemies and enough opportunities for stealth takedowns to do it without much of a hassle.





How Do I Shot Web?

Kill yourself with your own frag grenade.



Melted Ice-cream

Over-cook a frag grenade.



Equip the hand grenade, hold the right mouse button and get two achievements for the price of one.


Death Metal

Kill someone with the shrapnel from a frag grenade.



Throw a grenade to the side of a group of enemies and you should get the kill. This achievement is really tricky for some reason, I got it at the start of the mission "Repurposed Factory". Start the mission, go all the way to the left, then cook the grenade for about 3/4 and throw it.





Illusion of Safety

Have your frag grenade shrapnel kill you.



Load up "Repurposed Factory" on True difficulty and start with the silenced pistol and a grenade. Go to the small building at the start of the level, stand by the door and shoot it when the enemy comes close. Get bashed by the door and quickly kill him before he damages you or attracts others with gunfire.




After that, go to this spot next to your car and throw the nades where indicated. Might take a couple tries.





Collateral Damage

Have a flashbanged enemy accidentally kill his own friend.



Load up "Druggie Slums" with a hand grenade and a flashbang. Throw the frag in this general vicinity at the start of the level, wait for enemies to arrive, then cook the flashbang so that they don't have a chance to react. You should also get "Out of Their Misery" from this.





Out of Their Misery

Neutralize someone while they are under the effect of a flashbang.



Self-explanatory. Just don't get blinded yourself.


Paparazzi

Over-cook a flash grenade.



Just hold the right mouse button until both the flashbang and the achievement pop.
Completion Achievements
Ghost

Complete a level without being detected.



Never get detected by the enemies (they can investigate, but do not aggro them so they start aggressively patrolling or start shooting).


Pacifist

Complete a level without killing anyone.



Knocking out enemies, via chocking or punching, is okay, so is using nonlethal gadgets like a taser. Story kills (i.e. in cutscenes) do not count.


Pugilist

Complete a level unarmed.



Do not use anything but your fists and close quarter combat. Just to be sure, start a mission without anything.


Unscathed

Complete a level without taking any damage.



Do not get hit even once and finish a mission with 100% hp.


Iron Man

Complete a level without saving once.



Saving - not even once.


Electro

Complete a level whilst using naught but the Taser.



Sleeping Pills

Complete a level whilst using naught but the Tranquilizer Rifle.



Load the mission "Apartment Complex" and follow this route, it works for both guns (not at the same time, obviously). Technically you can choke out enemies and still get the achievements, as long as you use your guns at least once.

This should also net you "Ghost", "Pacifist", "Unscathed" and "Iron Man".




Smooth Operator

Finish 'Abandoned Complex' without killing anyone.



Sounds easier than it actually is, as this mission done nonlethally is a pain, and doing it only with fists is even worse. Best done alongside "Hippy".





Do Not Disturb

Complete the level "Steve's House" without firing a single shot.



Best when done alongside "Professional Boxer".


Professional Boxer

Finish the campaign without using any weapons.



Just to be sure, drop your pistol in the first mission and start the rest without any weapons or gadgets. I am fairly certain that using door knockouts prevent you from getting this, so I strongly suggest not using them. DO NOT use "Load Level" from the main menu, because that will nullify the achievement and you'll have to start from scratch. HOWEVER, some have said that you can use door knockouts and still get it, so ultimately it's up to you if you want to use it.


Hippy

Complete the game without killing a single enemy, unless when forced to.



Nonlethal weapons and gadgets do not nullify the achievement, neither do the kills that are done in the cutscenes. When it comes to Baker, he has to be spared. The only exception is the mission Epilogue, as you have to kill everyone. DO NOT use "Load Level" from the main menu, because that will nullify the achievement and you'll have to start from scratch.


Unrelenting Anger

Kill everyone throughout the campaign.



E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E!

Credit to Jimmy for listing how many enemies each level has:

Hands-on Experience

Complete the game with ammo auto-grab disabled.



"Ammo auto-grab" is a modifier that is by default turned off, so as long as you don't fiddle with any settings you should unlock this on your first playthrough. DO NOT use "Load Level" from the main menu, because that will nullify the achievement and you'll have to start from scratch.




Games Journalist

Complete the game on the 'Easy' difficulty.



This is the only achievement you'll unlock for playing on Easy.


True Grit

Complete the game on the 'True' difficulty.



CBT

You must really enjoy pain. Finish the game on 'Masochist' difficulty.



DO NOT use "Load Level" from the main menu, because that will nullify the achievements and you'll have to start from scratch.

True Grit and CBT do NOT stack and you have to complete each difficulty level at least once.
"Gun Nut" Achievement (1)
This achievement gets its own two sections, because I made too many screenshots.


Gun Nut

Unlock all unique weapons.



There are a total of 10 unique weapons in the game - 3 pistols, 4 assault rifles, 2 submachine guns and a shotgun. You do not have to find and collect them in a single playthrough:

From 'no meaning at all':
"It's possible to get "Gun Nut" by loading levels. Just start New Game+ after finding all weapons, game will check collected weapons and give you achievement."

This is a chronological list of where to find each weapon for the first time.


GLOCK-18C

This pistol can be found in the mission "Druggie Slums". Once you arrive to the only path into the warehouse where your target is, go through the door and then all the way down. The gun will be on the table.











DESERT EAGLE

This pistol can be found in the mission "Apartment Complex". At the start of the mission go all the way up.



Pass through this room and continue your way up.









Then proceed to go all the way left.






Here you will see your main target. Instead of going down and left, go all the way down. The gun will be on the table. To enter, go left and down. There you can enter through the window.













HK G36C

This assault rifle can be found in the mission "Abandoned Warehouse". Once you leave the maze of containers, go down.






Once you reach the water, go right and down again.



The gun is in this small building. You can enter the room with the gun through the vent.










SAIGA-12K

This shotgun can be found in the mission "Repurposed Factory". At the start of the mission go left. When you go pass an enemy, go down and jump over the wall.







Go down, left and down again.









Pass the sitting guard and go down again.






Turn right where indicated and you'll arrive at your destination. The gun is behind two locked doors.










P320 RX

This pistol can be found in the mission "Shopkeeper's Mansion". Picking it up is pretty straightforward. Once you kill the Shopkeeper, grab the keycard that's sitting on the desk and backtrack to the room above the Shopkeeper's office. The pistol will be on the table.








"Gun Nut" Achievement (2)
SCORPION EVO 3

This submachine gun can be found in the mission "Abandoned Complex". Immediately go down, jump over the wall, go further down and the gun will be in a small shed. You have to pick it up before you dispose of the last enemy.













AN-94

This assault rifle can be found in the mission "'Luxus' Incorporated Complex". Once Steve comments on arriving to an "office-like building", go to this storage room. The gun will be waiting on the table at the very back.







HK 417

This assault rifle can be found in the mission "Emphatic's Restaurant - Ground Floor". Once you reach the staircase that leads into the next level, backtrack and go into the room that is right next to you to the south. Enter the backroom and the gun will be on the table.







MP7

This submachine gun can be found in the mission "Mob Casino". Once the mission starts, go all the way up.






Then go right, until you can enter a window into a big room.









Go to the door on the south side of the room, cross the hallway and enter the kitchen. From there enter the dining hall, go right into the next hallway and go down. The gun will be in the next room to the left.












AK-107

This assault rifle can be found in the mission "Epilogue". At the start of the mission go up, right and enter the room through the window where indicated. After that go up, into a small diner and enter the vent.















Once you get out of the vent, go up and enter the next door where indicated. The gun will be waiting on the table.










"Sniper" Achievement (1)
What do we love? More screenshots.

Sniper

Obtain a 100% accuracy rating with 40 or more shots fired.

And this is a detailed guide by Kiga on how to get it on Repurposed Factory:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/1486630/discussions/0/3421068324004545376/



This guide is for a different mission: Epilogue. It has 49 enemies, so that gives us a buffer of 9 enemies that can be killed by punching/choking. I personally used it twice, so you have 7 enemies to use the chokehold on when needed. All you need is the MK23 silenced pistol. Don't worry about the ammo, there's plenty enough on the map to finish the mission.

For the most part this is a series of screenshots of where to stand and kill enemies with some commentary where needed. I assume that you know the map, so the directions will be minimal.

Feel free to do it in your own way, you don't have to play it in this exact sequence. It's just how I played it.

Start the mission and go listen to the two dudes talking.



Kill the first guy where indicated (move the body if you need to).





Go down.





Now we take care of the warehouse.











For the monitoring guy wait for the patrolling guard (first screenshot) to move away, so he won't hear you.





Turn off the lights and run to where kill #1 was. You can turn off the lights in the room behind you for a higher chance of a stealth kill.



This is a good place to save. Now go up.









For this dude turn off all the lights, grab kill #14 and put the body under the light switch where indicated, then open the door to the left and wait for the enemy to come to the body.





After that take care of another monitoring dude and replenish your ammo.





Now go back to where kill #13 was, go through the window back outside and kill the next enemy where indicated.







Now we take care of the last few stragglers on the bottom half of the map.



After this kill backtrack all the way around the warehouse to where kills #3 and #4 were.



For this guy wait for him to turn around before you kill him.





Here is more ammo if you need it.



Good place to save. Go up.



For this kill don't aim at the head but at the back of the chair (like shown).





Go left and up.





"Sniper" Achievement (2)












Go back to kill #27 and kill this enemy by entering from the back door.



Wait for the hallway enemy to be far away before you kill the room enemy. If you can, wait for him to turn around before shooting.







Now go back to the #33 kill. This is where it starts to get tricky, so better save. You need to wait for the enemy on the right to be far enough so that when you shoot the guy on the left, he doesn't get alerted by the shot.
If done correctly, he'll come to investigate and then you kill him.







Take their bodies and position them here, it'll make sense in a bit.



For these two gentlemen you need to wait for them to synch cycles in such a way that one will enter the room while the other is turning around (like on the screenshot). This is also the first time you have to punch an enemy, not shoot him.







Wait for the enemy that patrols up and down on the outside to be far away before you kill the guard.









For these two, close the door, turn off the light and hide in the corner. You'll have to choke the guard investigating so that his friend can remain clueless in the dark.









Now for the last trio. These guys are a pain and the hardest part of this run, so I suggest to use your last save on them. My strategy is to open the door and run down to where the three bodies are. Someone will investigate but its a lottery which doors they'll use, just hope you can get them all. Even if you aggro someone it doesn't matter, at this point there is no one on the map to help them.











And you're done! There is no mission summary after this but you should get it when the credits start to roll.
Miscellaneous Achievements
Alcoholics United

Pass out from drinking too much.



Whenever you are in the hideout, go into the living room and crack a cold one with yourself. After roughly seven drinks you'll hit the floor and get the achievement.



Creep

You really enjoy listening in on private matters, don't you?

In the level "Apartment Complex" follow these directions and you should get the achievement when you get close to the indicated door.

You're very welcome!

absolutely amazing guide helped me get 100% on a great game, thank you so much for making achievement guides they go such a long way!
Lifegarden 24 Jul @ 2:22pm 
Cool guide, saved me a lot of trouble.

About the shrapnel achievements! Following the *exact* setup in the Death Metal screenshot didn't work, as both enemies were apparently killed by the blast. Instead, with some minor changes, I killed two birds with one grenade: setting difficulty to Masochism, leaving about a half second on the fuse, and aiming roughly for the street *above* the pair of guards. YMMV, but on my first try, this method killed both a guard and myself. Masochism difficulty is important; during a Normal attempt, a piece of shrapnel drew blood but did not kill.

In "Completion > Professional Boxer" please add that it's fine to have 1 "kills with guns" in abandoned warehouse. There's an unskippable cutscene which doesn't affect the achievement.
Lantzalot 16 Jun @ 10:54pm 
Just completed CBT, Unrelenting Anger, and Gun Nut all in one run. Might be worth mentioning that you can only use the guns you unlocked on difficulties lower than where you collected them. Great guide though, thanks for the help!

Hey just letting you guys know I spent all day trying the boxer achievement, I used door knockouts and accidentally picked up a gun once (didn't shoot it). I wound up not getting the achievement unfortunately. Play it safe and don't use door knockouts and be super careful menuing so you dont pick up a gun.
HardmanX - Allkeyshop 12 Jan @ 6:58am 
Oops I meant to write fist* only. Anyways you can click continue and it puts you at the moment you kill all 49 enemies but there is no option in the menu to change the difficulty even though the developer said there is, but I can't find it anywhere.
