Campaign Achievements

End of an Era

Retire Sader Fiasco

 

 

Magic Reality

Complete a practice mission

Tip: Complete the tutorial mission

 

 

Nails

Complete a Hard (or harder) mission

 

 

Audacity

Complete an Audacious (or harder) mission

 

 

Correction

Complete a Mistake mission

Tip: Harder difficulties unlock as you progress through the game and unlock more stations.

 

 

Ghost

Complete a Ghost Clause

 

 

Bloodless

Enigma

Complete an Enigma Clause

 

 

Silence

Complete a Silence Clause

 

 

Pacifist

Complete a Pacifist Clause

 

 

Ghost Thief

Complete a theft without being seen or harming anyone

 

 

Only The Guilty

Complete an assassination mission without harming any other crew

Tip: Just like difficulties, clauses unlock as you progress through the game, liberating stations.

Tip: Clause restrictions do not apply to the target, if there’s one. So yes, you can do a Pacifist Assassination mission.

 

 

Closure

Complete your personal mission

Tip: You can unlock your personal mission by talking to Sader Fiasco and paying around 200 credits.

 

 

Self Help

Rescue one of your own characters

 

 

Coming Through

Rescue a friend’s character

Tip: In order to rescue a character, you gotta let them be captured first. Just enter a mission, activate an alert and let the time run out.

Tip: Your captured characters can be rescued by your Steam friends as well.

 

 

Legend

Retire as a Living Legend

Tip: You become a Living Legend once you unlock three to four space stations. At this point, you’ll notice on the mission description that you’re getting less than 100% Liberation score because you’re way too famous. When that happens, retire to get this achievement.

 

 

Heirloom

Find an item that belonged to a Steam friend’s character

Tip: Once you retire, you can leave an item as a heirloom. Those items can be randomly found in boxes throughout the game.

 

 

Liberator

Liberate a station

Tip: You can liberate stations by doing jobs and “inspiring” other people to defect to your group. Once you did enough, liberations will become available at the Strategy Map, above the mission selector.

 

 

The Fiasco Reckoning

Completely eliminate a faction from the galaxy

Tip: To eliminate a faction from the galaxy, you need to conquer every single one of their stations. This might take a while.

 

 

End Game

Talk to Fiasco after liberating every Stronghold

Tip: This ends the game and all your progress. Leave this one for last.

 

 

Cauldron of Stars

Start a new galaxy

 

 

Billions Dead

Delete a Galaxy

Tip: You can have up to three galaxies at once, so don’t worry about your progress.

 

 

Tricky Achievements

Strange Justice

Cause a guard to shoot themselves by Swapping with them

 

 

Lightning Strike

Take someone out with a melee attack less than 0.5 seconds after Sidewinding

 

 

Nitojutsu

Kill someone with a Shortblade within 1 second of killing someone with a Longblade

 

 

Defenceless

Crash a shield

 

 

Living in a Bubble

Reflect a bullet with an emergency shield

 

 

Conflicted Hitman

Deliver an assassination target alive

Like the description says.

 

 

I Wouldn’t…

Cause a guard with a subverted shield to shoot themselves

 

 

Known Issue

Cause a sentry to shoot a guard by subverting it

Tip: Subverter beams makes things work the opposite way they should. Shields reflect the insides, sentries shoot friends, and so on.

 

 

Visitor Pass

Acquire a keycard while Visiting

 

 

Unauthorized Visitation

Use a second Visitor before the first returns you

 

 

A Weight Lifted

Be rescued from your captor by the Visitor

Tip: Visitors are teleporters that return you to where you started after a certain amount of time. This happens even if you’re unconscious or have been captured.

 

 

One Careful Owner

Complete a Hijack mission in a Warzone

Tip: This one is tricky. Aside from the randomness of finding a Hijack + Warzone mission, you gotta be fast enough to clean the ship before it gets attacked.

Bigger ships are easier to Hijack in Warzones – most of the time, the attacking ship just gives up halfway.

Prioritize the enemies near the front of the ship, since attacking ships usually start shooting your back.

 

 

Outside the Box

Complete an Assassinate mission without entering the ship

In order to get this achievement, you should complete the mission without even docking your pod.

The easy way to get this achievement is to enter an Assassination mission, hijack a different ship and use it to bombard your target. You can fire missiles with the right button while flying the ship.

You can also get this achievement by getting a Brick and throwing it against the ship until the target dies.

 

 

They’ll Live

Knock a Capture target through a window

Tip: This is a tricky one. You have to make the target’s body break a window. The only way I found to make this happen is to get on a Capture mission where the target is armored, trick him into a windowed room and then hammer him onto the window until it breaks.

 

 

White Knuckle Extraction

Catch a Rescue target in your pod while they’re suffocating in space

Tip: Jump through a broken window while carrying your Rescue target, then use your pod to get both of you. Rescue targets suffocate faster, so grab them first.

 

 

Gold Text

Find a unique item

Tip: This is totally random. Just keep playing.

 

 

Well Done

Knock yourself out with a wrench you threw

Tip: You can throw things by pressing T. Then use a Sidewinder, a Swapper or a Visitor to teleport yourself in front of the wrench.

Unlocked this achievement by throwing a wrench at a window and being sucked into space.

 

 

Angel

Save someone with the Offworld Angel

 

 

Brick

Break a ship with the Foundry Brick

 

 

Coldfire

Pass through a ship’s vision undetected in the Sovereign Coldfire

 

 

Tick

Teleport to an airlock with the Glitcher’s Tick

Tip: The Angel, the Brick, the Coldfire and the Tick are exclusive pods of each of the factions in the game. You can unlock them by liberating stations at the Strategy Map, and then buying them at the Pod Shop.

Tip: The Angel lets you easily grab people floating in space. While flying the pod, get near your target and press Use (E) to pull them towards you.

Tip: The Brick lets you open holes in ships by ramming into them. Just… fly very fast into the enemy ship. You can dock in open holes, which makes it very convenient for difficult missions in big ships where your objective is as far as possible from the starting airlocks – just ram the helm!

Tip: The Coldfire is a stealth ship. It cannot be detected by the enemy ship’s searchlights, or by the heat signature radars that some very big ships may have.

Tip: The Tick lets you instantly snap to an airlock without all the hassle of manouvering. While flying the pod near a ship, just press Use (E) to teleport to the airlock.

 

 

Objects in Space

Board a ship without docking your pod

 

 

Spacewalker

Make it to a station after your pod has been destroyed

Tip: The easiest way to unlock these two is to do the Defector mission in Coldrock Haven (where you start the game.) You’ll start in space with no pod, and will have to maneuver yourself to the enemy ship using your shotgun.

 

 

Out of Gas

Dock at a friendly station while on emergency fuel

Tip: To get on emergency fuel, let your pod be hit by a ship by flying on their flashlights. You’ll have a limited amount of fuel to get to a station and have it repaired.
