[WOTC] Steam Achievement Unlocker

Description
Unlocks all steam achievements for XCOM 2.

>>> Requires War of the Chosen expansion <<<
>>> will not work with vanilla XCOM 2!!! <<<

1. Subscribe to the mod.
2. Activate the mod in the mod launcher.
3. Start the game.
4. ???
5. Profit!

F.A.Q.

Q: Can this be used to unlock the achievement for winning a multiplayer match, The Most Dangerous Game, which can no longer be unlocked via normal means on Windows, since the multiplayer has been disabled?
A: Yes, all achievements are unlocked.

Q: Can you make a mod that will unlock just that achievement?
A: Somebody can. I will not.

Q: Can you make a vanilla version of this mod?
A: Somebody can. I will not.

Q: I've unlocked achievements using this mod, and now I'm plagued by remorse, can I reset my cheated achievements and unlock them for real?
A: Yes, use Steam Achievement Manager to reset achievements for XCOM 2.

Q: Will I get banned or suffer other negative consequences for using this mod?
A: Highly unlikely, but ultimately the risk and consequences are yours to deal with.

Q: Why did you make this mod? Doesn't it devalue the achievements of people who unlocked them via hard work?
A: Somebody would've made a mod like this sooner or later, it takes only two lines of code to unlock all achievements. Or a few hours to cheat them through console commands.

Part of the reason is I wanted to help out people who no longer could unlock the multiplayer achievement since multiplayer has been disabled on Windows on 28th of March, 2022.

Consider that a lot of people have got the achievement by asking someone to quickly lose a match to them, so the definition of "legitimate" is very blurry.

Another part of the reason is I always thought achievements were silly. They're okay if done right, but in many games *cough* World of Warcraft *cough* Star Wars: The Old Republic *cough* they're a terrible tacked-on system that forces players to bend over backwards to unlock them, or they track completely meaningless stats, like performing the same mindless action three billion times.

So in part I just wanted to demonstrate how little they are worth, and can be all "achieved" via mod that has been made in 2 minutes.

Using the old launcher, it worked like a charm. Thanks!

If anyone there still wish to use it, use the "old mod launcher" option from XCOM 2 launch options, worked like a charm for me !

Since the Launcher was disabled, you need to start the game using the AML (custom XCOM2 launcher). It requires no install, nothing. Just download it, unzip & run, then enable the mod, run the game and get it over with that silly multiplayer achiev ("The Most Dangerous Game"). Thank you for making this mod. It solved my last achiev /cheer :) wow emote

And this is why you read mod descriptions.

I thought by unlocker this meant you could earn achievements with mods, not just give you every single one completed. Now i'll never be able to unlock anything else legit.

Yes, it works. You may need to use the Alternative Mod Launcher.

Hello!
Does this mod still work?
Unfortunately nothing happens after following the steps as described.
The XCOM 2: War of the Chosen DLC is checked when the game starts and the MOD is enabled.
Thanks for the replies! :)
