Introduction

I've created several popular achievement guides for other games like My Time at Portia, ETS 2, ATS, Borderlands 2, Borderlands 3, etc. Meanwhile they are clicked more than 750.000 times and upvoted more than 15.000 times. Just a tiny reference for my past work.


This guide will spoiler you a lot of information about the easiest and fastest ways to get the achievements. So if you want to figure it out by yourself: DON'T USE THIS GUIDE!

Do they have changed the requirements?

Fyi do NOT sell your weapons at the legendary vending machine. it counts as you using it and you wont get the achievement.
Xeeran  [author] 11 Oct @ 8:07am 
Thanks! Started with the wrong picture. Now its correct.
SweetBritches 11 Oct @ 8:01am 
Very nice guide. One issue: on Guac Is Extra, the same overworld map location image is used twice between the last Terminus location, and the first Fades location, offsetting the indexing (showing wrong overwold map image paired with each detail image in Fades).
Vitinha 27 Sep @ 8:14am 
Can someone help me with the guac is extra? Mine is bugged
QcDarkNinja 21 Sep @ 5:33pm 
Concerning the Area of Expertise challenge, you might want to mention the legendary shotgun called "Bod" which is obtainable by the Dominion Auger Mine Boss called The Toil of Spoiling Vis. This shotgun is treated as all weapon types, which applies for any bonuses to any weapons on all gear and in the skill tree, and ALSO counts for challenges. This means that for example, each kill you get with that shotgun will count towards kills with pistol, smg, assault rifle, sniper and shotgun. The weapon is also really good, since it takes every single bonuses it can hit really hard.

Guac is extra is glitched. i have 15 burritos on the plate, door wont open.
all auger sites is glitches. i completed all activities and the exact same time. activies popped, auger sites did not.
Xeeran  [author] 20 Sep @ 12:12pm 
Depends on your playstyle. I am going for Sniper and Vladov. And so far I cant say if equipment will count as well. Maybe? Maybe not?
QcDarkNinja 20 Sep @ 10:52am 
Any tips or advice to get the Area of Expertise and Brand Equity challenges?
Also, what does "gear" includes, does it includes ANY equipment or just weapons?
Gar Mylnari 16 Sep @ 8:22pm 
Hi what do I need to do for the pale blueberry dot achievement. I've done all of rushes quests but nothing came through. Is it endgame or has it bugged?
