This is a comprehensive guide detailing a way of getting for all achievements in the game. If you have never played this game or are just hunting for achievements, this guide will show you how to get them all.

I wish you success in getting all the in-game achievements

Work in progress: work on this guide is still ongoing. Maybe now it looks like just a list of achievements, but it will not be so for long. Very soon, I will update each achievement with a detailed description and a screenshot or video explaining how to unlock it.

Thank you for you patience!

Achievement Info
Once a prime corporate research facility, Citadel now teems with mindless cyborgs, robots and terribly mutated beings, all programmed to serve SHODAN, a ruthless A.I. There's scarcely time to unlock all achievements before it unleashes the first terror...

Explore the Citadel Station.
System Shock is a trendsetter in the immersive sim genre. The Citadel station is just huge in its size and you are free to go wherever you want if you can find the right path. Behind every turn you can be pressed by an opponent, a trap, a riddle, a secret door, or something interesting. If you explore this lifeless station, your search and curiosity will be rewarded not only with useful items, but also with achievements..

Move slowly. Use your advantages.
The station is full of enemies, and your protagonist is far from the most invincible hero. If you try to run through the levels of the station quickly, you will be instantly punished. Deal with opponents carefully, use everything in your arsenal or enviroment around you, think carefully about the next step and be smart with your inventory management to survive the next fight.

Think outside the box
Modern games have taught us to think that any problem can be solved simply by shooting it with some big gun. But here you have variability and several ways to achieve the desired task. Be smart and logical, come up with unusual solutions to your problems and some achievements will not keep you waiting.

Destroy cameras, search for collectibles
There aren't many collectible achievements in the game, but the ones that do exist will haunt you for most of the game. Look for audio logs, destroy cameras through which Shodan is watching you and collect some other items, because this will not only help you in your gameplay and reveal the game's story, but also you will also unlock some achievements for this.

Spoiler Alert
A large number of achievements in this game are related to progress in the story. The further you progress through the story, the more achievements you will unlock.

Since I will need to tell you exactly how to get certain achievements, then be prepared for spoilers. Go through the game on your own if you don't want to spoil your gaming experience, reveal the plot and come back when you need help or you`re okay with spoilers.

This is not the first guide I've seen from this author that is not finished, and in fact this one is barely started. Please concentrate more on content than flashy production before begging for an award.

Patch 2 will fix stuffs like the achievements so fear not.

The achievement for Get Ahead is fixed, I confirmed this by using my old save and as long as I killed all 2 before the 3rd in the Citadel station.

No problem, I already beat the game once, and I plan to replay when the detailed guide for all the achievements is ready, so I'll wait

I know that this is not your problem and you are not interested, it's just that lately there have been a lot of releases for which I wanted to make a guide. Therefore, I do not always have a lot of time + I fill out several guides at once.

Just be patient, you can check out my completed guides with 🏆 sign to see what it will look like when it's all done.

ok, i'm calm
XEALEEN  [author] 3 Jun, 2023 @ 12:41pm 
Yes, I`m here, just searching for the info.

Author, are you alive there? Or did you create one of the first guides in a hurry to collect awards?

En Passant ... Ah yes you can trivialize it using any chess websites but anything puzzle related such as junction is randomised. It appears only in Delta Grove
Division 2 Jun, 2023 @ 5:38pm 
@Taffey Probably buggy achievement before patch
