Introduction
This guide provides instructions on how to obtain all 68 achievements on The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition.

Spoilers
A lot of achievements are quest related and the resolution will contain major spoilers, which will be concealed.

Playstyle
You are free to choose your playstyle, build, attributes and items. You should be able to get all achievements regardless.

Playthrough
It is possible to get all achievements in a single playthrough - except "Supernova". However, this would require you to read the all achievement instructions beforehand and get major story spoilers. I highly recommend experiencing the game spoiler-free in your first playthrough - but it's up to you.

Here's my suggestion:

1st Playthrough (Normal):
  • Complete the quests based on your feeling and have fun.
  • You can read the Combat and some other spoiler-free achievements to start farming them.
  • Should take about 40 hours.
2nd Playthrough (Easy):
  • A quick playthrough to get remaining achievements.
  • Skipping dialogues and cutscenes should save you some time.
  • Should take about 5 hours.
3rd Playthrough (Supernova):
  • A speedrun playthrough to get "Supernova" and "Hard" achievements.
  • Use the video I'll provide in this guide.
  • Should take about 1 hour.
Base Game - Unmissable
These achievements are story related and can't be missed.

------------------
Welcome to Halcyon!
Landed in Emerald Vale.
------------------

------------------
Ticket to Anywhere
Got your very own ship.
------------------

------------------
Lost and Found

------------------

------------------
Hard Time
Landed on Tartarus.
------------------

------------------
The Outer Worlds
Completed The Outer Worlds on any difficulty.
------------------
Base Game - Combat
These achievements are combat related and require you to defeat enemies in specific ways.

NOTE: If you want, you can save-scum most of these achievements. For example: go to an area that has a lot of enemies, quicksave, kill them using the weapon of your choice, quickload, repeat until the achievement pops.

------------------
The Harder They Fall
Killed a mega creature.
------------------
Pretty straightforward, you should get this naturally as you play the game.

------------------
Got Your Back
Killed 50 enemies with companion abilities.
------------------
For this one you should get perks that improve companion ability damage and cooldown reset.

------------------
Patient N
Killed 20 enemies that were infected by spreading N-rays.
------------------
The hardest part should be getting an N-rays mod, they are kinda rare. Once you get it, install the mod on a low-powered pistol. To get the achievement, hit enemies in the leg or foot and start running around and hiding while the N-ray slowly damages them, you'll probably need to shoot them a few times to renew the N-ray debuff. Don't forget to set companions to "Passive" so they don't steal your kill.

------------------
Poor Sportsmanship
Hit 30 enemies in the groin during tactical time dilation.
------------------
Activate TTD, aim for the groin, when you hover over the groin and see "Weaken", shoot.

------------------
Short Circuit
Killed 30 automechanicals with shock damage.
------------------
Pretty straightforward, shock weapon mods are easy to find, just mod a weapon of your choice with shock damage and kill robots with it.

------------------
Never Seen
Killed 50 enemies with sneak attacks.
------------------
For this one I recommend using the Hunting Rifle with the noise reduction mod, it might be helpful to invest some points in "Sneak". You should be able to easily snipe out enemies while sneaking. If you use plasma damage mod, you can farm kills for the "We All Fall Down" achievement at the same time.

------------------
We All Fall Down
Turned 100 enemies to ash with plasma damage.
------------------
Pretty straightforward, plasma weapon mods are easy to find, just mod a weapon of your choice with plasma damage and kill enemies with it.

------------------
Tossball All Star
Killed 50 enemies with a tossball stick or tossball blocker.
------------------
Pretty straightforward, I personally prefer to do this one mid to late game, when you get the chance to obtain a higher DPS Tossball weapon.

------------------
Elemental Maelstrom
Killed an enemy that was hit with all 5 damage types.
------------------
This is how I've done it:
  • Locate an enemy with high HP (e.g. Mantiqueen).
  • Quicksave.
  • Equip 4 weapons with different damage: n-ray (pink), physical (white), shock (blue) and plasma (red).
  • Set Ellie to "Aggressive" and "Melee" - make sure she is using her default corrosion (green) blade.
  • Set the other companion to "Passive".
  • Shoot the enemy in the leg one time with each of your 4 weapons (try not to kill it).
  • Make sure Ellie hits the enemy with her corrosion blade at least once.
  • Kill the enemy.
  • The achievement should pop. If not, quickload.

------------------
Jack of All Trades
Killed an enemy with a science weapon sneak attack during TTD, with a critical hit.
------------------
This is how to do it:
  • Get the "Prismatic Hammer" science weapon.
  • Make sure your "Sneak" and "2-Handed Melee" are at least 20.
  • Enable the "Weird Science" perk for + 50% science weapon damage.
  • Go to the Medical Bay in the Groundbreaker and find the Sick Mardet on the bed to the left.
  • Quicksave.
  • Enter sneak mode, activate TTD and hit him in the head with a regular attack.
  • The achievement should pop. If not, quickload.

------------------
Mad Scientist
Killed an enemy under the effects of 4 science weapons.
------------------
This one can be a little bit tricky, here's the step by step:

STEP 1: Acquire the Science Weapons

The game will naturally guide you towards getting the weapons via the quest Weapons From the Void.

Shrink Ray
The Skrink Ray is located in Phineas' Lab, which you can travel to as soon as you depart the Emerald Vale. It's sitting on a small stand right in front of Phineas Welles.

Prismatic Hammer
To get the Prismatic Hammer you need to purchase the Battered Mardet Datapad from Gladys on the Groundbreaker. Go back toward customs and find the rest room with all the beds for the Stevadore. You'll need to jump up on top of the beds and then drop down behind them and kills some enemies. Loot the Repair Hangar Keycard from the Outlaw Squad Leader and open a locked door to find the Hammer.

Mandibular Rearranger
It can be found on the Abandoned Mining Camp located at Scylla. One of the buildings has a green box with the Mandibular Rearranger inside.

Gloop Gun
Head to the UDL Lab northwest of Fallbrook. You can pick up UDL Lab Weapons Terminal Keycard from a table on the second floor, where you kill the ringleader. You can bring the UDL Lab Weapons Terminal Key Card to the 1st floor and interact with a terminal. You can unlock the weapon they have been developing with Hack (55) or answer: Protect the Chairman, answer: Berate him relentlessly to defend the Chairman's honor, answer: Arrest your spouse and admit your children to a reeducation program. This will get you the Gloop Gun.

STEP 2: Killing the enemy

This might be challenging and require a few attempts.
  • Locate an enemy with high HP (e.g. Mantiqueen).
  • Quicksave
  • Equip the Prismatic Hammer and Gloop Gun.
  • Set one companion to "Melee" / "Aggressive" and give him the Mandibular Rearranger.
  • Set the other companion to "Ranged" / "Aggressive" and give him the Shrink Ray.
  • Start damaging the enemy until it has about 15% health left.
  • Wait for your companion to paralyze the enemy using Mandibular Rearranger.
  • When the enemy is paralyzed, shoot it with Gloop Gun, the enemy will start floating.
  • Now make sure the enemy is floating, paralyzed and debuffed by Shrink Ray.
  • Quickly switch to Prismatic Hammer and finish it off while it's still floating.
  • The achievement should pop. If not, quickload.

Base Game - Items
These achievements are item related, you will be required to loot, buy, sell and complete quests to acquire items.

------------------
Everything Must Go
Sold 10,000 bits worth of items to vendors.
------------------
Pretty straightforward, just loot and sell stuff. You should get this naturally as you play.

------------------
Upgrades Available
Improved your gear 30 times through tinkering and mods.
------------------
Pretty straightforward, just improve and mod gear. You should get this naturally as you play.

------------------
Health Insurance
Used the medical inhaler 300 times.
------------------
This can take a while to get naturally. If you want, you can save-scum this one. For example: You can quicksave, use all of your inhalers, quickload and repeat until the achievement pops.

------------------
Not the Best Choice
Simultaneously equipped Spacer's Choice brand clothing, headgear, and 4 weapons.
------------------
This one is pretty easy. When you drop Spacer's Choice brand weapons, armor or headgear don't sell it. It is quite possible to get all items purely from drops, but if you want to rush it you can visit the vendors at the Groundbreaker and buy the remaning pieces. You will need to equip 4 weapons + 1 armor + 1 helmet all Spacer's Choice branded. It's not the best choice, it's Spacer's Choice.

------------------
Well Balanced Breakfast
Simultaneously had bonuses for meat, carbohydrates, sugar drink, caffeine, alcohol.
------------------
It is quite possible to get all items purely from looting and drops, but if you want to rush it you can visit the vendors at Edgewater and Groundbreaker. Make sure you have all types of food/drink in your inventory, then consume them all.

------------------
Well Dressed
Wore 'A Nice Hat' and 'Chimaera' at the same time.
------------------
This one can be tricky. You'll need to obtain and equip 2 unique pieces of gear.

A Nice Hat
Found on Monarch Wildness, southwest of Stellar Bay, on a skeleton in the old church building with the domed roof.

Chimaera
Can be acquired by completing the quest Makes Space Suits, Won't Travel by talking to Celeste in Byzantium.

Please refer to the Wiki for a more in-depth guide:
Makes Space Suits, Won't Travel - Wiki Walkthrough[theouterworlds.fandom.com]

WARNING: If you are doing the companion quests, you should complete Parvati's Don't Bite the Sun BEFORE going for Makes Space Suits, Won't Travel, because at the end of Makes Space Suits, Won't Travel Celeste will die, locking out other quests related to her.

Base Game - Skills
These achievements are skill/character related. You might need to reset you character skills if your Dialog skill is too low.

------------------
Silver Tongue

------------------
Impossible Mission
Succeeded at 3 dialog conversation checks with a single disguise.
------------------
This is the fastest way to get the achievement:
  • Make sure you have at least 40 in Dialog skills.
  • Obtain the Holographic Shroud. It can be found in your room on the Unreliable.
  • Go to the Medical Bay in the Groundbreaker.
  • Obtain Mardet ID Cartridge. Can be found on top of a table at the end, right beside the restricted entrance.
  • Enter the restricted area.
  • Once the Holographic Shroud engages the disguise, start sprinting around to deplete the pink bar.
  • When the disguise bar runs out, a guard will speak to you, use one of the Dialog options.
  • Repeat 2 more times for the achievement to pop.

Murder on Eridanos - Quests
These achievements are quest related and can be missed.

------------------
Mutt And Jeff
Asked a companion to be the Bad Inspector.
------------------
The achievement is unlocked during the Prince of Tossball main story mission. This is the mission where you investigate Bertie as a suspect.

- Make sure you have a companion with you.

- Pick the dialog option that invites your companion for the bad cop dynamic, something like:

- Encourage the companion to continue as the bad inspector and make sure you do not pick a dialog option that has you interrupt the companion.


------------------
Interrogo Totus

In order to unlock this, you’ll need to question every suspect that is potentially involved with the murder, completing a set of 4 quests, which are:
- The Productivity Queen – Investigating The Prophet
- The Prince of Tossball – Investigating Bertie
- The Man Who Chafed – Investigating Spencer Woolrich
- Lord of Blight – Investigating Sedrick
The Productivity Queen is a missable quest (the others are not). Make sure you get it ASAP: Go down to the lobby of the hotel and speak with Bellhop Norville. He can be found standing in front of the elevators wearing a red hat. Question him about the murder and he will eventually mention The Prophet. You’ll then be given the quest.
IMPORTANT: During the resolution of these quests, make sure not to accuse any of the suspects to Ludovico until all 4 quests are completed.

you can actually do parvati's quest after celeste dies, she just gets replaced by a different person
Auce  [author] 6 Jul @ 5:44pm 
@Malkiah You should make the hard save as soon as Red Tape of Command starts - and not after you complete it, because the journal is obtained during this quest.
Malkiah™ 6 Jul @ 4:15am 
you only start the red tape command mission after getting the journal and its too late to start the postman ending then. i now have to go back an hour to redo everything.

I played through Outer Worlds and got most of the achievements before the Spacer's Choice came out. I'll be using this guide to hopefully get all of them quickly, but just reading through this brought back good memories. I'll try to remember to come back for updates as needed. Cheers!

Amazing guide! Super helpful in planning out the run and making sure I didn't miss anything. Thank you for putting it together!

I find the lack of comments disturbing.

Really good guide. Thanks!
