How To Get The Golden Salsa
By Scorch Fury
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1951617250
Supervisor, Meet Gravity
Push a supervisor off a building with a blunt item shot from your bow.

When you first get the bow grab a coffee cup from the out side balcony.



Shoot the bot that spawns there.

Wilhelm Scream
Throw 10 bots off buildings.

As you work through Roof Ops and Tower Knock out Bots with coffee cups or plates then toss their bodies over the balcony. On tower be sure they fall all the way down and not on a lower platform. once the achievement is unlocked you will hear the scream.
Single Player Sportsball
Catch an object you threw at least 8 meters. (horizontally)

8 meters isn't as far as you think take a blunt unbreakable item or arrow. shoot the teleporter.
turn the mirror toward your player's gloves flip the object back words over your head teleport and catch it. This will take multiple attempts.

Tested
Look through a hole in the floor.

Should work as of 12/1/2020
I've got it!
Throw a sharp object at least 5 meters and "catch" it with your face.

Similar to Single Player Sportsball. Just get your face in front of the knife. This will take multiple attempts.
You've Got a Friend In Me
Wave to 10 Workers.

Be friendly!

Enrage. Evade. Try Again
Survive while getting shot at by at least three enemies.

I recommend jumping on top of the packed rail road car on the 1st level for a few minutes and try dodging bullets, or at the end of the game dodge the grenade projectiles.

Brought a Knife to a Fist Fight
Win a melee fight against a supervisor.

Sneak up behind a supervisor bot grab the gun. Then stab with a Knife.
No Need to Double Tap
Headshot a supervisor with an arrow shot from at least 15 meters away.

Snipe a bot on the roof Ops level.
In the Name of Efficiency
Blow up at least three bots using a single grenade.

It will be easier if you knock out and pile up 3 bots. Or do it at the end of the game on one of the final levels of the upload.
End-Game Achievements
Panta Mera
Squash 10 soda cans in the hydraulic press in Fabrications.

There are 11 cans of soda in the kitchen/ breakroom in the fabrications level.


9 on the table

3 in the fridge

once 10 cans are collected place them in the press and crush.
I recommend to do this first thing when arriving in fabrications. Before you enter the room that prompts Adam to arrive.
I am the Janitor
Throw 20 objects in the metal shredder in Fabrications.

There are many items lying around in the kitchen/ Breakroom. Also if you extend the platform on the shredder you will catch a bunch of falling items.

Image below.
Lights are Also Obsolete
All light bulbs stomped in Fabrications.

Allow Adam to stop out all the lights. The perfect place to hide while Adam dose his work is the golden minced meat area. (Adam should no longer get stuck on the environment as of the 12/1/2020 patch)

Corn Syrup Overdose (WIP)
That's a LOT of soda.

I'm not really sure. press the soda machine button.

Don't Blow It!
Clear the fuse puzzle in Cost Optimizer without blowing a single fuse.

Here is a strategy that can be used for this achievement.

Note: This strategy only works if you don't need to go to the level 2 cache in the third part.

Preparation:
First make sure to get some weapons from the warehouse level to the Fabrications. Use distant grabbing to move all the prosecutors to the Main CPU without starting the fuse puzzle.

Killing Prosecutors:
Use the translocator to activate the prosecutors but don't teleport there yet. Get the prosecutors to shoot each other until only one remains. Finally teleport and kill the last one with the weapons you smuggled through Fabrications.

Transport Between Offline Locations:
My strategy is always go through Main Storage. As soon as you balance out the power levels, get back to Main Storage and wait for Winta's instructions.

To Secondary CPU
Use the hallway that connects the Main Storage to Secondary CPU rooms.

To Secondary Storage
This one should be obvious
I Like Flowers
Complete the game.

Self explanatory.
Speed and Game Length Achievements
Unsupervised
Complete the game without dying.

Self explanatory. Very difficult.
Evil Murderer Human
Complete the game having killed all hostile bots.

As you go through the game leave a trail of robot bodies. For the fuse puzzle you must kill all the bots before they despawn after completing the puzzle. You can smuggle weapons through fabrications by picking up items through the fence in front of the warehouse elevator and teleporting. The bots in the fuse puzzle are 1 hit kill. Also throwing bots off buildings count as kills.

Quick Win
Complete the game in less than 5 hours.

Self explanatory.
Streamlined
Complete the game in less than 3 hours.

Self explanatory.
Tremendously Accurate. Cost Optimized.
Complete the game in less than 1 hour.

Self explanatory.

Here is a good guide:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2376000268
Pacifist
This is the secret achievement.

As from the name it means no killing any robots for the entire game.

When you start Adam's level, quickly head over to the shredder and grab the head of a supervisor. Now get into the security room and make a few light bulbs (this starts the descent of Adam's elevator). You now need to hide behind the elevator. Now when Adam gets out of the elevator, quickly teleport in and scan the supervisor's head and finish the level.

*Note any head will work worker or supervisor.

Once you get to the final boss battle you can hide inside of Winta. Slightly pressing down on your trigger but not all the way the game will show you repeatedly picking up and dropping objects or bullet spawn for guns. do that on the cord plug in and the cord will stay in and the progress bar will move. Completing the final fight.

To get corn syrup overdose, you have to collect a lot of coins and put them in a soda machine until is says no more soda, that's how i got it

Relating to the tested achievement see my post below.
A Tangerine  [author] 22 Nov, 2021 @ 4:11pm 
It may help to reset the floor; of your set up a bit higher. So that you can stick your head all of the way through the floor. It may take a little trail and error the game can be finicky sometimes.

How do i get tested bro
sophie 21 Sep, 2021 @ 7:47am 
I don't get how you do the tested achievement, someone explain?
Winter Rose 24 Jun, 2021 @ 7:35pm 
It's also a lot simpler to set up for the Don't Blow It achievement than the quote describes, since the secondary storage area actually opens right into the large space with the barn. Entering the observation room/control room/whatever it would be called from any of the linked room's tubes doesn't trigger Winta to start talking, allowing you to freely handle the prosecutors as needed, then you can go to the barn and back through the pneumatic tube to trigger the dialogue and start preparing the attempt.
Actually trying to keep fuses from blowing in the third phase can still go to hell though since you practically need to be perfect with how little time you're given
Winter Rose 23 Jun, 2021 @ 4:52pm 
Honestly if you can manage to dodge fire from at least 3 supervisors enough to get the related achievement, it's not too bad trying to get the no deaths one. I say this since I aaalmost would've gotten it while getting the Tremendously Accurate. Cost Optimized. and Pacifist achievements, but I happened to trigger 3 supervisors all at the same time while trying to aim through a skylight on that one level where you're scaling the one building through multiple floors to get to the pneumatic tubes. I only survived long enough to get it by accident. And that was my only death in that entire run, no joke.
Jademonas 12 Jun, 2021 @ 7:31pm 
Btw, for anyone going for the "lights are also obsolete" achivement, its takes ~15 minutes for him to do it, just dont be stupid like me and place a light to lure him into the shredder and shred him before he can stomp it out
firminou 6 Jan, 2021 @ 11:39pm 
quadrplax i did it by myself without looking what was it and i got it by going on the level 2 getting 6 coins and putting them in the machine as fast as possible
