SPECIAL NAME
When you create your character, enter these names:
Name: RAPTOR
Callsign: DOTEMU

Done.

BOAT
In Bravo Sector, any difficulty, destroy a boat.
If you play on Elite, the boat will appear right on the first wave. If you play on lower difficulties, it will appear in later waves of Bravo Sector.

NO TOUCH
Finish ANY wave without taking a single hit into your main shields (on the right side).
You can either play like a boss and outmaneuver all enemies without getting hit, or you simply buy the Phase Shields. You can take as many hits into the Phase Shields as you want, the achievement will pop anyway.

BOSS
Reach a boss without wasting a single ammo.
That means, none of your projectiles must exit the screen. Simply don't shoot ANYTHING until the boss appears, then the achievement will pop and you can shoot again. Any boss, any difficulty, and also any wave will work.

BRAVO
Clear the Bravo Sector on any difficulty.
You get this achievement by killing the final boss on Wave 9 of Bravo Sector. Doesn't matter how you kill it.

30K
Reach the score of 300,000.
Don't worry about using money, the game counts even the money you spent, so if you keep on playing, the achievement will eventually pop. Playing on higher difficulties = more enemies = more money you can get.

ELITE
Clear any wave on Elite difficulty.
I think this does not need further explaining.

LASER
Buy the Twin Laser.
It's the strongest weapon in the game and it costs 1,750,000$. If you play on Veteran or higher, you should be able to reach it by the time you complete Bravo Sector and Tango Sector. You can also farm Bravo Sector if you don't feel ready.

I don't recommend playing Outer Regions without Pulse Cannon or either of the laser weapons, because many of the final bosses are ground turrets.

DESTROY
For this achievement, you have to do multiple things during a single wave:
- Destroy every flying enemy.
- Destroy every ground enemy.
- Destroy every building that can be destroyed.
- Collect everything that can be collected (including those "stars" some enemies drop).
- No enemy or powerup can exit the lower part of the screen, or you won't get the achievement.
- Also, you have to do this using weapons other than THOR Auto-track Minigun and ODIN Laser Turret (the auto-aiming weapons). Apparently you can get it with any weapon.

First thing you have to do is to exit the game, go to Steam Library, right-click on Raptor 2015 edition, select Properties. Switch tab to Local Files and select Verify Game Integrity. The game should re-download one file. Now you can complete this achievement.

I recommend buying Pulse Cannon (RX1 Tsunami) for this one, as Pulse Cannon is very fast and powerful weapon and it attacks buildings too. I also recommend doing the achievement on Bravo Sector Wave 1 or 2 due to enemy and building numbers. Difficulty doesn't matter.

The achievement will not pop when you finish the wave, you need to go finish one extra wave, and the achievement will pop after you finish the next wave. The next wave doesn't have to be perfect.

ALL SECTORS
For this achievement, you have to complete the game on Elite difficulty.
Specifically, killing the final bosses of Bravo, Tango and Outer Regions on Elite difficulty.

Note: apparently selecting autopilot does not work, so either it's bugged, or you have to select 9 times Bravo Sector, then 9 times Tango Sector then 9 times Outer Regions, however stupid that is...

At least in not the only one who couldn't get the destroy achievement to work but I've tried everything and it still wont work, only achievement I don't have.

... changed saving habits, farmed till I had all weapons above again & Twin laser... Eventually Cleared "All Sectors"! :steamhappy:

( Cherish the huge money reward to keep your health, bombs, and weapons well supplied the rest of the game. you will need it!... also good save spot to experiment with the game mechanics & storage... learned stock limits with this save )

... kept playing until each sector was at elite difficulty... beat first elite level next day(today), and all achievements are earned!!!

... kept playing till I beat all sectors on elite dificulty... ( strong weapons, bombs, and lots of dodging & shooting is needed on Elite difficulty, especially higher sectors, even with 5 phase shields... even needed to buy mini gun temporarily to beat final ground boss without its nonstop forwards fire defeating me... )

A stack of "phase shields" helped keep health up for both the "No Touch" and "Boss" achievements. :steamhappy: (but are a pain in your wallet too keep using all game, but are necessary at each final and "elite mode")...

you can farm Phase shields beyond 5, but require spare space, so don't keep extras of selective weapons you don't need (extra of the "same" weapon does not stack power, I experimented) or you will run out of room & won't even collect extras to sell back to the shop!

Eventually got "BRAVO" & "BOAT" achievement! :steamhappy:

... got upset when game closed/crash-exited before I could save... I had a habit of clearing all unneeded saves before saving & it cost me. :steamsad:

got every single achievement!

It's like they are described... and since the first wave of all sectors has an item you can keep collecting & farm, things got too easy. (collecting & exiting wave, then selling collected weapon/item/health, from first wave, don't kill end boss)

I kept going until I had each additional "always equipped weapon" in addition to my main weapon then got the "Odin Laser Turret"(tracks aerial targets & destroys all/most weak beginner ships)... It was all I needed to get the "DESTROY" achievement :steamhappy: ... (made it as easy as pie on bravo wave 1 rookie!!!)

(also just keeping the "RX1 Tsunami" just to easily profit off "all the air & ground targets and buildings of lower sectors.)

I got the Destroy one by just finishing Bravo One. Didn't complete any of the required tasks. Didn't verify integrity. Weird.

Can confirm the tip in comments regarding the DESTROY achievement, simply verifying my files wasn't enough, but moving the CHAR0000 file worked right away. Thank you @Shrotflinte12 and @Nilex and ohers in comments. :greenlike:

Great guide, thanks! FYI I had trouble with DESTROY, it wouldn't pop even after verifying game files. In the end, I tried removing CHAR0001.FIL from the data directory as someone suggested and it worked - didn't even have to start a new sector :)

Thanks for the guide, especially the tricky last two!

I just want to mention a couple of things:
1) For DESTROY, verifying integrity was the crucial final step for me. Following wave I only had to start, not finish. I recommend Laser Turret, all permanent weapons, and Rookie if possible - all on Bravo Sec 1. Only God knows how they intended for players to accomplish this from the get go, some enemy ships are too damn fast and slip through even with perfect positioning and movement...
2) ALL SECTORS unlocked on Veteran difficulty for me, the first one I played. Manual 9+9+9 was the main ingredient as stated. At least I didn't have to grind Elite (tried first two Bravo Secs and lol how everything moves at Warp speeds, wtf).

Great guide!

Like some, I couldn't unlock the "DESTROY" achievement through normal means.
I tried many of the suggested ways of unlocking it (verifying game files, not using ODIN & THOR, not getting hit, ELITE, etc.).
After a while I went to my save folder for the game and removed the file CHAR0000.FIL. I got all of my other achievements without this file, too.

Went back into the game, loaded up Bravo sector 1, destroyed and collected everything and after I've completed the level, during the landing animation, the achievement unlocked.

And I want to confirm for the "ALL SECTORS" achievement that you have to select each sector 9 times. Just like you explained it above.
