Things to know before we start.
  • Most of the achievements are self explanatory but i'll do my best to give more information.
  • Robots refers to all turret types, drones and cameras unless specified.
  • Drones only spawn rank 2 and above.
  • You always spawn with theColt Single Action Armyat rank 5.
    1. Manual double-feed only doable with M9, Desert Eagle, Glock, M1911 and P226.
    2. Remove the magazine and put it in your inventory then you rack the slide so that the gun is empty.
    3. Pull the slide back and lock it open.
    4. Put a bullet directly into the chamber.
    5. Put a loaded magazine back into the gun and release the slide.
    For more info on double-feed click here to see Johns' guide.
  • I had to break the achievement list into 2 section because i hit word limit.

Retro Revenge
Break all the noisy arcade machines.
Stay on the lowest level of the map to find the arcade room and walk up to all the machines pressing the action key to break them. Important note: there are some machines on the 2nd level of the arcade room too.
Drone Demolition
Break every breakable part of a shock drone.
I had to try many times but i eventually got it, might be easier with low power pistols like the Hi Point, Glock or M9.
The breakable parts are:
  • 2x propeller blades
  • 2x propeller shroud
  • motion sensor
  • camera
  • taser
  • main body
Turret Demolition
Break every breakable part of a turret.
Might be easier with low power pistols.
The breakable parts are:
  • motion sensor
  • camera
  • ammo box
  • barrel
  • leg
  • battery
  • motor
Self-Reflection
Get a bullseye on your reflection in a mirror.
Just shoot your mirror reflection in the head.
Pacifist
Complete a rank without firing a shot.
Recommend unloading your gun and being on rank 1 when attempting this achievement.
Tease
Drain a turret of ammo.
Shoot the barrel of the turret a few times to deform it so the bullets doesn't hit you and wait until it runs out of ammo. You can also agro the turret and quickly hide behind a wall which is a viable tactic when attempting the Pacifist achievement.
Running Scared
Shake off a shock drone after being chased for more than 15 seconds.
Find a drone that is behind a glass window, have it agro at you for 15 seconds then run away to shake it off. Important note: the glass might break if the drone flies into it too fast.
Pool Shark
8 ball, corner pocket.
Shoot the 8 ball into one of the corner pockets. You can also stand on the pool table and try to kick the 8 ball in if you want to conserve ammo.
Shards
Get killed by falling glass.
When at the connecting bridge area there is glass above all the bridges, so just shoot the glass when standing under it. You can also stand as close a possible to a window and shoot it if for whatever reason you can't find the connecting bridge area.
Quick Fix
Kill a shock drone within five seconds of clearing a malfunction.
Do a manual double-feed to force a malfunction and clear it while in cover then quickly pop out of cover to shoot the drone.
Sharpshooter
Kill a robot from 30m or farther.
Although the icon is of a drone this achievement can be done with any robots as long as it's far enough.
Window Shopping
Kill a robot through glass.
Pretty self explanatory, just don't stand too close to the glass unless you want to get the Shards achievement.
X-Ray
Kill a robot through a wall.
The thin white walls in the apartment areas are the easiest to shoot through.
Three For Three
Kill three robots with three bullets in a row.
Might be easier with a high power pistols like the Desert Eagle or any of the revolvers. Shoot the camera, battery or motor to kill it with 1 shot, do it 3 times to 3 different robots.
The Gunslinger
Load a revolver with a blocked chamber and fire all rounds without hitting the blocked chamber.
Can only be done on a revolver with 1 or more blocked chamber. Position the revolver chamber so that the blocked chamber is next an open chamber and fill it all up, then shoot only 5 times if you had 5 open chambers or 4 times if you had 4 etc.
Röntgen
Get killed through a wall.
Use thin walls like the white walls in the apartment area. It's a very easy achievement to get if you suck like i do.
Cleanup
Clear a double feed and chamber a round in five seconds or less.
No matter how many times i try, it didn't work with a manual double-feed, i even created aclearing double-feed macroand it didn't work. It might only be possible with a naturally occuring double-feed, i haven't confirmed it yet.
Wham Bam
Eject an empty magazine, load a non-empty one, and chamber a round in less than a second.
With practice it's not that difficult, i did it on my 5th try.Or you can cheese it and use a macro.
No Cigar
Die from a negligent discharge on Sleepwalker or above.
Sleepwalker is rank 3, so just holster and un-holster a loaded gun quickly. I recommend you only do this if you spawn with a gun Colt Single Action Army you don't like in rank 3 and above.
Pop, Pop, Pop
Shoot three balloons with one shot.
Pretty self explanatory, just wait for the balloons to line up and shoot.

Desperate Times
When completely out of ammo, hack an undamaged turret.
Find a lone turret that doesn't have a 360° rotation and go behind it, drop all your ammo
on the floor and hack the turret.
True Receiver
Awaken five times.
Clear rank 5 five times. You need map knowledge of where all the things usually spawn, gun knowledge, a lot of patience and some luck. So basically just git gud.As of writing this guide, i only cleared rank 5 once...
Death Wish
Complete a rank without shooting any unaware robots.
Although the icon is of a drone this achievement can be done with any robots but i recommend doing it on rank 1 with turrets. DO NOT kill any robots when the camera light is blue, aim at the camera when walking up to the turret and at the very moment the light changes color, shoot it.
Getting Beretta All the Time
Rank up with the Beretta M9.
The M9 is a very good all rounded pistol like the P226
Deagle-Eyed
Rank up with the Desert Eagle.
IMO the deagle is best gun in the game, the only downside is the low ammo capacity so if possible take your time to aim and you will kill most robots with 1 shot.
Short but Deadly
Rank up with the Colt Detective Special.
Hope you only spawn with 1 blocked chamber and not 2. Reload whenever it's safe so you won't get caught off guard.
Five o'Glock
Rank up with the Glock 17.
It's a very good gun, but you just have to remember to not holster or un-holster the gun too quickly.
Yeet!
Rank up with the HiPoint.
It's weak and has low ammo capacity. Get the achievement for this gun and hope you never spawn with it ever again.
Government
Rank up with the Colt M1911.
2nd best gun IMO, just use it like the Deagle.
M10
Rank up with the S&W Model 10.
Pretty much the same as the Colt Detective Special.
Making Peace
Rank up with the Colt Single Action Army.
Most annoying / frustrating gun to use in the game, make sure you don't fully load it and have the hammer down on the open chamber when not in use.
Leaving a Sauer Taste
Rank up with the SIG Sauer P226.
From my play through, the P226 is the rarest gun i spawn with but it's very good at almost every situation.
You are Strong
Survive the Threat Echo.
Pretty self explanatory, just be ready to empty your gun whenever you pick up a tape.
Surprise Attack
Destroy only the motion sensor of a sleeping turret.
Sleeping turrets only spawn rank 2 and above. The motion sensor is the lollipop looking thing on top of the turret, as long as you don't walk directly in front of the sleeping turret it will not wake up and you can just shoot the motion sensor.
Closing thoughts.
If there are any better method or mistakes and especially if anyone has any information on the Cleanup achievement, please let me know by commenting below so i can update the guide.

just to note: pacifist IS doable on any rank, HOWEVER the description is misleading. not only must you not discharge your weapon, you are also NOT ALLOWED TO HACK KILLDRONES. doing this on baseline is easiest, since tapes are plentiful, and there are only stationary, floor-mounted turrets.

reading up, only happens with natrual double feeds for the achivment

Wham Bam can be achieved by direct-loading a round into the gun after ejecting the magazine. You can directly load a round into a semi-automatic gun when its chamber is locked open and you are not holding a magazine and pressing Z. I accidentally achieved it while messing around with the concept of direct loading one into the chamber if you know you only need one shot to hit your target. :steamthumbsup:

Couldn't tell you if this was a glitch or not, but Pacifist can't be completed on rank 1.
Cannabis Cowboy 15 Oct, 2021 @ 12:01am 
Fun fact, if you kick a box onto a drone and it dies that'll ruin a pacifist run, but not a death wish run.
The Daily Herp 2 Apr, 2021 @ 11:26pm 
I don't know if this has been said before, but desperate times can be earned by doing it in the compound, with no risk to the player
Lord Of HeckFire 24 Mar, 2021 @ 8:04pm 
fyi you can half cock the SAA so you can have 6 loaded
Kennardion 5 Mar, 2021 @ 9:32pm 
For the deathwish achievement you have to get detected. You can't kill an enemy while it's not aware of your presence. (kill them while they have yellow light.) You have to kill at least one on he stage, then slip by the others if you can.

About Drone Demolition: I had a lot of trouble with it and the reason is that there's an extra part your guide doesn't mention: when you break the greenish outer shell of the drone, you can see that inside are two white pieces, its main body, held together by a short black wire. Shooting this wire is the final requirement for destroying all parts of the drone, as by the time you get to it, most if not all of its other parts will be broken off already. The drone CAN be dead/hacked for this achievement to register.

About Wham Bam: you can do it by loading a round into the chamber by hand. Remove magazine, put magazine into your inventory, eject chambered round if there is one, pull back the slide, lock it, press the load button to insert a round straight from your inventory into the chamber, release the slide lock.

Not sure if it is a bug, I got true receiver after beating the game once. Also I am trying for Death Wish, Is there anything I am missing on it, I beat level 1 completely undetected and I did not get it.
