نصائح عامة:

I’d start off my doing your first play-through on Standard. Focus on getting all Intel for the achievement “CMISRS Asset” so you don’t need to waste time on harder difficulties. Be on the look out for hidden caches as you need to collect a number of them. Try and play with Challenge Cards as they can help you level up faster as well as gain more credits for store purchases. Once you have completed the campaign for the first time you will unlock a new class called “Recon”.

The cover system is mostly a complete waste. Most of the time you should be up and fighting while moving or just standing still. The only time you should be actively using the cover system is in missions that are Synthetic heavy. You can hide behind cover and shoot blind so you don’t get hit. (The Demolisher Class makes this even easier as the Smart Gun can auto-lock onto them while behind cover). During encounters where there is Xenos and Synthetics try and let them fight it out. This will save you ammo and let the enemies do the work for you.

One of the achievements requires you to max level a number of guns. So always swap out a fully leveled gun for a different one. If playing on harder difficulties I wouldn’t worry about it and just use the one you comfortable with.

You will have to level all classes to max level anyway so take this time to test out which one you prefer and use that when playing on Insane. Regarding that don’t attempt Insane at all without 3 people pre-made at max level (20) with maxed out classes (700+ Combat Rating) and a generally good team composition.

My preferred team composition:

• Gunner/Demolisher (Main Damage Dealer)
• Technician (Main Defence, use flamethrower turret for Xenos and Heavy Turret for Synthetics)
• Recon (Main Support, Provides Vision, ذخيرة, and Healing)

When going for Insane you can switch that composition to fit your preferred playstyles. لكن, I’d say the Recon is a must-have. The vision and ammo drop alone makes it worthwhile especially for spotting hidden prowlers in the missions. للأسف, the Doc just isn’t worth taking till they buff the heals the class provides. Always do insane missions with the Challenge Card “Human Tanks” it gives all players double health.

In the latter part of the game, you will start finding Eggs with Facehuggers in them. Make sure to clear out the room free of the eggs before starting any encounters. خلاف ذلك, you will constantly get grappled mid-fight.

Natural Progression

These are unlocked through natural progression during the game meaning you don’t need to worry about them. They are listed in the order you unlock them.

• Priority One – Finish the “Priority One” حملة.
• Giants in the Earth – Finish the “Giants in the Earth” حملة.
• The Gift of Fire – Finish the “Gift of Fire” حملة.
• The Only Way to be Sure – Finish the “Only Way to be Sure” حملة.

I’ll also list the difficulty-related achievements here as they are pretty self-explanatory. As I’ve said in the General Tips don’t bother with Insane or Extreme unless your max level and have a premade team. A side note completing the game on the max difficulty will unlock the lower ones.

• A Stand Up Fight – Finish a mission on Extreme Difficulty.
• My Kind of Crazy – Finish a mission on Insane Difficulty.
• Expeditionary Service Ribbon – Finish all Campaigns on Standard Difficulty.
• LV-895 Service Ribbon – Finish all Campaigns on Intense Difficulty.
• LV-895 Campaign Medal – Finish all Campaigns on Extreme Difficulty.
• Reticulum Theater Medal – Finish all Campaigns on Insane Difficulty.

Important Achievements

في هذا القسم, I’ll cover any achievements that you should do pretty much straight away or be on the lookout for while playing through the game.

CMISRS Asset – يعود 39 pieces of intel.

• This one is pretty easy as you can just watch this YouTube video on each mission or screenshots. There is typically 3 intel permission and I’d aim to get this done on your first playthrough so you can focus on the hard difficulties later.

Keen Eye – يفتح 50 hidden caches.

• Although this achievement isn’t hard you can only find 1 per mission meaning at a minimum you are going to have to do 50 missions and that’s if you find the hidden cache on all levels as it spawns in different places each time. If you are struggling to find them check out this YouTube Video by MrReign. Although the box isn’t 100% going to spawn there you can be on the lookout in some of these spots. The box you are looking for is Orange as shown below.

Hard Achievements

في هذا القسم, I will be covering achievements that are extremely difficult or that require a ton of grinding.

Supportive Squad – مكتمل 50 missions without anyone being downed.

• You can grind this on casual with bots are just do the first mission. Just thought I’d mention it now as you can always heal allies if they are getting low and they aren’t using there health kit. Saves you time in the long run.

Tower Defense – يستخدم 500 consumables.

• Chances are you will get this passively while farming the rest of the achievements but these are essentially the extra tools you pick up or have taken into missions. Things like Sentry Turrets, Electric Ammo, Mines all things that you can use to fortify or buff your character. You will probably use at least 1-2 a mission so you may just need to grind the rest if you don’t get it before the rest.

Kitted Out – Level five Kits to Rank 8.

• This just means you need to max out all classes. That being the Gunner, Demolisher, Technician, Doc, and Recon. You can grind the early stages of each class on the first mission (Make sure to play with XP Challenge Cards to make it faster). Once you get to a decent combat rating just grind the last mission or horde mode to get it maxed out. Switch to a new class once done.

All My Personal Friends – مستوى 30 weapons to four stars.

• This one is more annoying than challenging. You will be forced to use some weapons that you simply don’t like just to get it maxed out. If you want to do this fast play with the XP Boost challenge cards and always use a different weapon if you max it out to 4 stars. This isn’t hard just takes a while.

High Voltage – Kill 1000 enemies with electricity.

• I’d arguably say this is one of the most challenging achievements in the game. There are two methods to getting this from what I’ve seen. The first being to use the Electric Ammo consumable and killing enemies with it. I’d play the mission “The Gift of Fire: Boarding” as you can 1 shot the Pathogen’s making it easy to get. The alternative way that I’ve found but takes a lot longer is by using the Technician class and throwing your Electric Nodes onto Alien Eggs in the last mission. If left long enough it will pop the egg and count towards an electric kill. I’d recommend doing this method alone and keeping the AI away as they can shoot the eggs if a facehugger crawls out.

Those Things Were Huge – Eliminate 2000 elite enemies.

• This one will take a lot of time to do as you need to kill a lot of elite enemies. I’d honestly just recommend playing Horde mode for this as there are a few waves that include a lot of Elite’s making it the easiest to grind. Pretty much anything that isn’t a normal Xenomorph, Synthetic, or Pathogen is a form of Elite.

Suturing Expert – Heal your fireteam with an aid kit 100 مرات.

• Although this is one of the rarest achievements in the game I personally found it really easy to achieve. I’d recommend playing Horde mode as you will constantly have medkits getting dropped. Simply at the end of almost every 2 round (early) و 1 round later on heal your allies with you medkit and go pick another up for yourself. I managed to passively get this over the course of a few days just doing this. Feel free to do the same thing in normal missions just try and heal them after the fight rather than before to save medkits. I wouldn’t bother doing the game if someone is playing Doc as they will just keep healing everyone. Which isn’t good if you are just grinding for the achievement.

Average Achievements

في هذا القسم, I will cover any achievements that are slightly difficult or take a bit of time to grind.

A Personal Friend of Mine – Level a weapon to four stars.

• Chances are you will get this passively from just using a weapon you prefer to use. لكن, if you want to level one quickly simply use a challenge card in a mission that provides bonus XP. This can help level it to 4 even faster than normal.

Fully Rigged – Fill every slot in a perk board.

• This achievement will require you to at least get rank 5 on any class. That’s when you unlock all the perk slots. Simply fill the entire perk board with whatever you want and it will unlock. If you want a specific build check out My Builds section of the guide which may give you some ideas.

متخصص – Level a Kit to Rank 8.

• This just requires you to max level one of your characters. I’d just pick your favourite one and keep doing missions with an XP Challenge Card equipped. It should level your character fairly quickly.

Burn ‘Em Out – Kill 1000 enemies with fire.

• This is more of time sync than a difficulty matter. The ways you can get this is by using the Heavy Flamethrower or the CQW Flamethrower. Both aren’t great weapons but they count towards the achievement. I personally prefer to use the Flamethrower Turret for the Technician as I don’t need to worry about it and my turret will passively do the work for me. If you want to grind this I’d also recommend the “The Gift of Fire: Boarding” mission as you can kill a lot of Pathogen’s easily with the flamethrower.

It’s a Bug Hunt – Eliminate 10000 Xenomorphs.

• There really isn’t any easy trick to this it’s just game time. I’d recommend the Horde Mode if you still need this achievement by the end but chances are you will have unlocked it passively by just doing everything else. So I’d just ignore this achievement.

Glorified Toasters – Eliminate 1000 Synthetics.

• I’d recommend playing the mission “Giants in The Earth: Evacuate” for this achievement. It’s a Synthetic heavy mission. Just repeat this mission with bots and you will eventually get this achievement. Just one of those achievements you will have to grind.

Got All I Need – Complete a mission without using aid kits, ammo crates, or consumables.

• This is actually really easy. I’d recommend doing it after your first playthrough as you need the recon class for it. If you play the very first mission on casual which will give you better AI Bots and play the Recon class. The support drone provides ammo and health which won’t fail the achievement. Allowing you to keep all your ammo and gain health back from kills. Bear in mind you will only get HP back for killing enemies while inside the support drones radius. Try and let the AI take care of most of the enemies for you. You can do this with friends but I’d suggest just doing it solo as the AI Bots have unlimited ammo and they won’t open ammo crates or health. As a side note, you can also do this as Doc but you will probably run out of ammo.

Express Yourself – Collect 20 emotes.

• You can get emotes by opening Hidden Caches in missions as well as by some from the vendor on the ship. Chances are you will get this passively by just doing everything else so I wouldn’t worry about it.

It’s a Cover, Not a Hat – Collect 20 hats.

• Just like the emote achievement above you can get Hats by opening Hidden Caches in missions as well as buy some from the vendor on the ship. Chances are you will get this passively by just doing everything else so I wouldn’t worry about it.

Art Gallery – Collect 40 decals.

• Just like the emote achievement above you can get decals by opening Hidden Caches in missions as well as buy some from the vendor on the ship. Chances are you will get this passively by just doing everything else so I wouldn’t worry about it.

It’s Camouflage on Some Planet – Collect 40 colorways.

• Just like the emote achievement above you can get colorways by opening Hidden Caches in missions as well as buy some from the vendor on the ship. Chances are you will get this passively by just doing everything else so I wouldn’t worry about it.

Trigger Discipline – Complete a mission on Intense Difficulty or above without anyone taking friendly fire damage.

• This one can be a slight pain but the easiest method I’ve found would be to play the first mission with 2 friends. All of you play the technician and let your turrets do most of the killing. The turrets don’t do team damage allowing it to kill all the enemies without any of you getting hit. I’d only shoot if you really need to and make you are all spaced out and not shooting across from each other. When in narrow corridors I’d suggest just sending 1 person through that way they can shoot freely without any risk. I also wouldn’t take weapons like a shotgun or flamethrower for this as all it takes is a tiny bit of damage. I’d recommend just using the hand cannon like the Type 95 Combat Pistol as shown in the My Builds Section.

Easy Achievements

في هذا القسم, I will cover all achievements that you can get pretty easily or with minimal effort.

Red Makes It Shoot Faster – Equip a colorway and decal onto a gun.

• Simply go into your loadout on any class, click on any weapon you have equipped and apply any decal and colorway to your gun.

Nukes, Knives, AND Sharp Sticks – Equip three attachments on a single weapon.

• This is pretty self explanatory. If you don’t have any you can buy some from the vendor on the shop and get them from Hidden Caches in missions.

Confidence Course – Do a successful Challenge run.

Overwhelming Confidence – مكتمل 25 successful Challenge runs.

• These two achievements are simple to get. All you need to do is activate a challenge card every time you do a mission and this can be done at any difficulty. Even ones that help you like double health as long as you complete the objective/mission.

Fashion Team – Change your hat and outfit.

• Simply go into your loadout on any class, click on your Hat and body Accessory and change it to something you want. (You don’t need to change base appearance)

Ready for Anything – Collect 25 attachments.

State of the Art Firepower – Collect one attachment of every type.

• You get attachments from leveling up, completing missions, doing certain challenges and finding the hidden cache in a level. You will most likely get this passively by just playing the game so I wouldn’t worry about either of these.

Anti-Mutation Station – Eliminate 300 Pathogen.

• بالرغم من 300 might sound like a lot the Pathogen is basically a 1 shot creature that comes in a swarm so you could farm this in casual on the mission “The Gift of Fire: Boarding”. Just take synthetic’s or 2 friends who won’t shoot them to farm it easier.

I Think They Like Me – Get grappled five times in the same mission.

• One of the easiest ways to do this achievement is to take the challenge card “Beautiful Butterflies”. This turns all Xeno runners into Prowlers who will grapple you making this easy to get. You can always get this in a normal mission just make sure to run in first so you get grappled and not allies.

Improvised Explosives – Kill 50 enemies with explosive barrels or pods.

• On all levels, you will find red explosive barrels either in the form of pods, barrels, or part of the hull of a ship. If you shoot these during the holdout sections of missions chances are you will kill 3-5 enemies with one. You will most likely just get this passively from playing the game.
