Paper.io 2 is a territory-control game where you extend your colored area by venturing outside your base and looping back to enclose new space. Other players (bots) are doing the same and the moment your unconnected trail gets cut - you’re eliminated! The goal is simple: survive, expand, and dominate the map.

One important note: the game doesn’t care which “country” or “region” you conquer. A square is a square. Whether it’s Greenland or a tiny island, you earn the same rewards. Equality at its finest.

Prioritize:

• Upgrade Extra Lives (1 and 2) first. Longevity is more valuable than fancy skins early on. Surviving longer directly increases both your income and your chance at big conquests.
  
  
• Prioritize the purple power-up. When fully stacked, it allows you to capture entire zones at once.
  
  
• Play safe, then strike. Small loops are safe until you find powerups, bold moves secure achievements faster.

Most achievements will come naturally just by playing. The real priority is upgrading Extra Lives early, then learning how to balance safe, smaller loops with bold territory grabs while keeping an eye out for power-ups (especially purple, which can change everything in an instant).

If you stick with it, every achievement will eventually unlock.

The real wall comes at the end with “Landlord.” The final upgrades for Starting Territory are brutally expensive. we’re talking 200+ runs just to afford the last two. It’s a grind. Put on a podcast, queue up a good playlist, or simply rawdog the suffering for eternal achievement glory.

Good luck out there, conqueror. May your loops be clean, your purple power-ups plentiful, and your patience outlast the grind.
