Achievement Info



Stage 1: Complete the Story, Loot all Human Enemies You Encounter, & Complete Side Activities

Complete the main story and side content without worrying about collectibles, and enjoy the game at your own pace.

You can access story missions by having your friends call you on the radio and ask you to come to their camp and talk to them. All achievements in the game are free-roaming, including the Marauder Camp Hunter, Infestation Exterminator, Ambush Camp Hunter and World's End Achievements. Purchase upgrades as they become available to improve your weapons and motorcycle.

Note: There are two "points of no return" that temporarily lock you out of the southern and northern regions. You will be able to access the southern and northern regions after the final mission, so you won't need to worry about missing anything while playing.

Stage 2: Post-Story Quests, Collectables, Get Trust Level 3 with 3 Camps, Unlock All Skills & Miscellaneous Achievements

After completing the game, it is highly recommended that you complete the post-story quests to maximize your XP. Focus on obtaining the remaining collectibles for The Broken Roadshow once you have completed them. You can obtain many of them while scavenging for materials or clearing ambush camps (see Ambush Camp Hunter for more details.) The historical markers will appear on your map as you clear ambush camps, making it easy to locate them as you travel.

In order to eliminate several hordes for Mr. Fahrenheit and Best Friends Forever (For Life), you only need to kill about 5 or 6. Once you reach Trust Level 3, you will have access to the game's best weapons and upgrades, making it easier to deal with hordes. You will then be able to easily complete all of the remaining miscellaneous achievements that were not unlocked during the main story.

Just a Flesh Wound

Received automatically after completing the You Got a Death Wish mission in the He's my Brother storylines.

Tips: Eliminating a horde earlier in the game may be challenging, but it is definitely possible. Be confident in your abilities and don't be afraid to try multiple times. Remember, if you are still having trouble, you can always skip it and get the achievement without completing this task. Attempting to clear the horde is good practice for clearing hordes later in the game. Packing extra ammo on your bike using saddlebags can be helpful. To clear the horde, use grenades and heavy weapons, and pick off individual zombies with lighter weapons.

This section showcases Achievements that are related to the storylines in the game, such as the Ambush Camp Hunter storyline, Infestation Exterminator, Marauder Camp Hunter, and World's End storylines. Each achievement's name is clickable and leads to a YouTube video showing all the necessary locations. You can earn a significant amount of them just by playing through the main story, and they can also be completed at the end of the game.

Note: I would like to thank PowerPyx for their exceptional work in creating these sections and for their time and effort in this project.
Welcome to the Party, Pal

No guide is needed if you are aiming for the four objectives listed above. You must complete all the regions in the game, not just one, to unlock this achievement. If you're looking to complete this achievement, I've included a guide for your convenience.

Take a look at the following achievements for more information on each:
  • Ambush Camps - See Ambush Camp Hunter
  • Infestations - See Infestation Exterminator
  • NERO Checkpoints - See World's End
Ambush Camp Hunter

To complete an Ambush Camp, eliminate all enemies and locate the hatch to an underground bunker, where you will find a map that reveals collectibles in the area. There are 14 Ambush Camps in the game, and it should be one of the first side missions you should do while exploring since clearing them out clears the fog around the map and gives you a fast travel location and new crafting recipes.

Tips: To stay stealthy and take out enemies quickly, use a crossbow or a sniper rifle with a silencer. Silencers can be purchased from weapon vendors in camps or found by opening the hoods of cars on the road.

All Locations of Ambush Camp[www.powerpyx.com]

Infestation Exterminator

This is the only way to clear a nest and continue playing. Deacon alerts the player to infested areas by commenting on the foul smell, and once the exact location of the nest is discovered, these areas are marked on the map with a red circle and an infested icon. The game Freakers has 13 infected areas, each with 3 or 4 nests.

To clear a nest, the player must use fire, either by throwing a fuel canister and shooting it, or by throwing a Molotov cocktail. Once you do, about 4 or 5 freakers will come running out from it, so you must kill them.

In the southern region, you'll come across Crier nests, which are infected crows perched on trees and utility poles. The Criers will be flying around them, making them a bit tricky to deal with.

Tips: To take them out, try using Incendiary Bolts for a precise shot or a Napalm Molotov for a bigger blast.

Marauder Camp Hunter

Marauder Camps are exclusive enemy strongholds that can only be found by completing specific missions. Unlike Ambush Camps, there are fewer Marauder Camps in the game and they require the elimination of all enemies inside. There are a total of 10 Marauder Camps in the game, with the first 2 being part of the story missions and the remaining 8 being part of the side quests.

All Locations of Marauder Camps[www.powerpyx.com]

World's End

NERO Checkpoints are abandoned sites that contain NERO injectors. These injectors are essential for achieving the Performance Enhanced.

To restore power, simply locate a nearby fuel canister and use it to refill the generator. To restore power, simply locate a nearby fuel canister and use it to refill the generator. This will allow you to open the doors. Sometimes you'll also need to find a fuse to replace the busted one on the mobile units. Each location contains a white box containing the NERO Injector, an audio log and a save bed, so it is a good idea to visit these locations as soon as possible, especially after unlocking a new fast-travel location.

Tips: To attract enemies in the area, there are loudspeakers that can be found on mobile units, checkpoint booths and light poles, and light poles. However, the wires can be easily cut or shot down to disable them, simply follow the wires to locate them.

NERO Research Sites are simplified versions of NERO Checkpoints - approach and collect the NERO Injector. These sites are often located in hard to find areas such as caves, mountaintops and gaps that require you to jump with your bike.

Best Friends Forever
Best Friends Forever (For Life)

In order to be successful in the game, it is important to gain the maximum amount of trust from three of the five camps. I highly recommend prioritizing Iron Mike's camp, as it can significantly contribute to other achievements, while the other two camps are optional, but focusing on them can also prove beneficial.

Use these tips to build trust at camp:
  • Story missions
  • Encampment Jobs (Side quests)
  • Side activities (NERO Checkpoints, Infestations, Ambush Camps)
  • Hordes (near the camp, take out the group of enemies.)
  • Bounties (giving Freakers Ears to the camp)
  • Camp Kitchen (delivering plants and animal meat)
  • Survivors (we are going to send the survivors back to the camp)

In order to advance to level 3 with most of the camps, the defeat of hordes in each region will be necessary. It is recommended that you wait until after you finish the game to attack hordes, as you will have access to better tools and they will be marked on the map.

Tips: It is recommended that you wait until the end of the game to attack hordes, as you will have access to better tools and they will be marked on the map. Killing hordes is necessary for skill point gain, but it can be a bit of a hassle.
Kitchen Courier

Getting this achievement is easy and can be done in your very first camp. Gathering herbs, berries, mushrooms, or animal meat and bringing it to the camp kitchen vendor is the quickest way to get this achievement.

Tips: Leveling up the Hawkeyed skill can also help you identify pickable plants in the wilderness.
Make it Rain

Upgrading your camp is a straightforward process that involves purchasing all available weapons and upgrades. You can earn 20,000 credits by completing camp missions with determination and effort. If you have already completed the main story and many side quests, you may already have the necessary amount. Otherwise, please see the following methods for earning the necessary funds.

You can earn credits in the following ways:
  • Story missions
  • Encampment Jobs (Side quests)
  • Side activities (NERO Checkpoints, Infestations, Ambush Camps)
  • Hordes (near the camp, take out the group of enemies.)
  • Bounties (giving Freakers Ears to the camp)
  • Camp Kitchen (delivering plants and animal meat)
  • Survivors (we are going to send the survivors back to the camp)

Tips: For a $20,000 purchase at a particular camp, choose Iron Mike's in the Lost Lake area. For this reason, it is a good idea to focus on buying important items at Iron Mike's. This camp is the most convenient because of the many checkpoints and story missions in the area. The payout is higher than other camps. This camp is a point of no return until you complete the story, once you do you are free to return and spend as much money as you need.
First Time Buyer

You can get it by talking to the mechanic in each camp. It is advisable to get a performance upgrade first to speed things up. However, it is not necessary as long as you choose one.
The Art of Bike Repair

Repair damage to your bike with scrap metal. Your bike will take damage throughout the game, so repair it as you play. To get scrap, crash your bike, make big jumps, or ride through water. These actions will cause damage to your bike, allowing you to use scrap to repair it. You can also use the Monkey Wrench skill, which doubles the effectiveness of each scrap. Repairing your bike with less scrap can be beneficial. Rest assured, frequent repairs will prevent potential problems.
Farewell Original

Simply buy one upgrade in each category for your motorcycle to get the achievement. If you're just interested in the achievement, you'll want to buy the cheapest upgrades, but if you want to improve your performance, feel free to save up for better upgrades.

Burnout Apocalypse

This upgrade becomes accessible later in the game, meaning it's not a concern until you progress to that stage. Nitrous 2 provides a boost lasting 4.5 seconds, while Nitrous 3 extends this to just over 6 seconds.

To unlock a 5-second nitrous boost, you must purchase Nitrous 3 from the 4th camp, Diamond Lake, which you can attempt immediately. Achieving a Nitrous 3 doughnut requires reaching level 3 trust with this camp, attained by completing camp and story missions in the area, along with dealing with any hordes. This typically occurs towards the end of the game or after completing the main story. Upon reaching level 3 trust, you can purchase Nitrous 3, enabling the doughnut maneuver akin to the Farewell Drift achievement but utilizing nitrous.

To facilitate this task, employ a lower level engine and wheels rather than a fully upgraded bike. If you already possess a fully upgraded bike, swiftly head to Iron Mike's and upon loading the screen, veer off the road to the left and into the water. Persist until success, even if the water partially submerges the bike or the nitrous fails. For optimal velocity, locate a spacious water area and initiate a circular drift motion. Once a stable drift is established, engage the nitrous and sustain it until reaching the desired speed. Despite being in water, you'll encounter no resistance.

Farewell Drift

This achievement can be earned passively throughout the course of the game or by grinding for it at a gas station. Grinding involves drifting in a circle with the front wheel locked.

Tips: The best places to grind for this achievement are O'Leary Mountain Safehouse(Boozer's Tower), which is a safe zone free of freakers/zombies and has a gas station to refuel your bike. Just drift in a circle until you run out of gas, refuel, and repeat until you unlock the achievement.

Guide to accumulate 10 minutes of drifting.

Refer to the visual guide above for clear instructions on how to do this.
Don't Stop Me Now
I'm Out of Control
There's No Stopping Me
Mr. Fahrenheit

Note: There are a total of 45 skills in the game that can be acquired by completing a variety of tasks. While most of these skills can be obtained passively by completing other achievements, about 40 of them can be obtained by completing the story and NERO checkpoints/research sites.

The rest of the skills, however, can only be obtained through the defeat of all the hordes on the map. It's worth noting that once you've completed the main story, all hordes will be marked on your map. This makes it easier to locate and eliminate them, and allows you to freely explore the rest of the map. To achieve this, you must complete the story, clear all checkpoints and research sites, and eliminate every horde. You will gain all the necessary skills at the end of the process.

Better Living through Chemistry

Rest assured, this feature will automatically unlock as you progress through the story, so there is no need to worry about missing out. To fully maximize your Health, Stamina and Focus upgrades, it is recommended that you obtain NERO Injectors, the first of which can be obtained during the He's My Brother storyline. Focusing on one upgrade before moving on to the others is best.
Performance Enhanced

NERO Checkpoints/Research sites are the only places where NERO Injectors are available. Once you get the first one from the story mission 'He's My Brother', you will find that they are usually in a box or container. It is possible to max out one of them just by playing the story.

Tips: For best results, it is recommended that you prioritize upgrading your Health or Stamina before upgrading your Focus. Allocating all upgrades to a single option, such as Health, is the best approach if your goal is to max out. However, upgrades should be distributed according to personal preference if the goal is to max out all options.
Finding Keepers

Refer to The Broken Roadshow for comprehensive information on collectibles.
Wannable Fortune Hunter

Refer to The Broken Roadshow for comprehensive information on collectibles.
The Broken Roadshow

There are 240 collectibles in the game, not including the Anarchist Cairns, which have their own achievement. To earn this achievement, you need to collect over 75% of them, which is 181. To track your progress, go to the menu, select Storylines and then Collectables.

The collectibles are neatly divided into 11 categories, each with a corresponding text guide link:
  • 33 Character Collectibles[www.powerpyx.com]
  • 52 NERO Intel[www.powerpyx.com]
  • Sarah's Lab Notes - These will all be unlocked automatically upon completion of the Story Missions.
  • 20 Radio Free Oregon - Story events will occur automatically at various points in the game. All you have to do is sit back and listen to the end.
  • 6 Colonel Garret Speeches - The Storylines menu will display the missions you have completed, starting with the main "I Know The Look" mission. The first of these can be found in front of the gallows at Wizard Lake Camp. If you miss any, you can purchase them as audio recordings from the Colonel's tent on the hill after completing the final mission.
  • 13 R.I.P. Sermons[www.powerpyx.com]
  • 28 Tourism Collectibles[www.powerpyx.com]
  • 43 Historical Markers[www.powerpyx.com] - Clearing ambush camps will reveal them on the map (see Ambush Camp Hunter).
  • 33 Herbology Plants[www.powerpyx.com]
  • 6 Camp Guitarists[www.powerpyx.com]

Note: Credit for providing the links to each guide goes to PowerPyx
Go Kick Rocks

Note: The Anarchists have left over 40 Cairns in the wild.

Only 12 of these items need to be destroyed, even though they are not technically collectibles, and these tips will help you complete this task with ease. They are scattered around the map and can be easily identified using the image below. To make the task even quicker, the attached video shows 12 locations that are in close proximity to each other.

This section is about achievements that can be earned at any point in the game's storyline or through the completion of certain in-game events. Passive achievements are listed first for your convenience. You can earn them as you play the game.
You've Got Red on You

To obtain this achievement from the beginning of the game, ensure that you actively search for items on human bodies, not freakers or zombies. It is highly recommended that you loot every human corpse you come across, regardless of its contents, as they will often drop multiple items per corpse.

It is important to pick up the items and add them to your inventory, as simply discovering them on a corpse will not suffice. During fights, enemies will drop throwables, health, or crafting materials. Use these items during the fight and collect more afterwards. Play on hard difficulty. This encourages the use of healing items without making the game too difficult.

Tips: Humans can be found during story missions, ambush camps and camp jobs, making these the best places to find humans to loot. Humans can be found during story missions, ambush camps and camp jobs, so these are the best places to find humans for looting, so be on the lookout. Look for this item in towns or near petrol stations to get it by the end of the game. It is usually found in these areas, so focus your search there if you still need it.

Lend Me Your Ears

To get all the achievements you can passively collect Freaker/Zombie Ears throughout the game, rest assured you will have no trouble getting all the Achievements! Simply walk over the Freaker/Zombie corpses to collect them. With several hordes in the game, you should be able to collect enough by the time you finish the story. However, if you need more by the end of the game, all the hordes will be visible on the map for you to clear out and collect the remaining Ears.

Note: You do not need to keep all of these ears in your inventory, you can sell them to bounty hunters for rewards. It's just an overall collection.
This is a Knife

Note: These enemies are not to be underestimated, as Breakers are large and muscular, capable of charging and knocking you down or grabbing you, while Reachers are fast and elusive. These enemies are not to be underestimated, as Breakers are large and muscular, capable of charging and knocking you down or grabbing you, while Reachers are fast and elusive. Be prepared to face these challenges with confidence and skill. Ragers, on the other hand, are infected bears with a lot of health. Breakers, Reachers and Ragers are all formidable enemies that you will encounter as mini-bosses throughout the story, and once defeated they will also spawn in the world.



Originally posted by Deacon St. John:
The easiest way to defeat the Breaker is to face it during the Boss Battle in the Playing All Night mission in Region 4. The following steps will ensure a safe victory over the Breaker. It is advisable to get their health down to around 10% before using the boot knife to finish them off. Kill him while he's running around with the knife, but don't worry if you don't succeed. This is the recommended method as you may not know his current HP, unlike during the mission.

This variant is an elite version of the normal freak/zombie, recognisable by the fur on its back and comes with a health bar that makes it easier to tell when it is weakened. It is advisable to try and eliminate this variant during the mission. Use the bear traps that are around the cave to help kill it by placing it in front of you it should run into them. Alternatively, you can weaken the bear with a molotov and then finish it off with a boot knife. It is also worth noting that if you are unable to kill the bear during this mission, it can also be found wandering free.



Originally posted by Mark Copeland:
You will encounter the Rager in the Crater Lake region, You will first encounter the Rager during the mission "Mayday! Mayday!" This boss fight is similar to the other two, and the Rager has a health bar. It is recommended that you aim to kill it during this mission, as you can use a boot knife when it is low on health. To defeat it, use the Molotov cocktail and heavy weapons such as a sniper rifle to weaken it. If you manage to kill it with a normal weapon, you will be able to find it again in the free-roaming area at the end of the mission.

Tips: Alternatively, you can level up your melee skills to unlock the to unlock the Executioner ability, which will allow you to take down heavyweights.
Ghost of Farewell

You must be in close proximity to an enemy from behind. This way you can do an "assassination" on them. The easiest way to do this is to throw a distraction rock at the Freakers so that you can easily walk up and kill them while stealthed. It's worth adding that you don't need to be stealthed to do this, you can just walk up behind them and perform this action while they're not in combat. However, if you are trying to get some freakers/zombies in an area, I would still recommend doing it stealthily. That way when you kill them, they won't come after you. At night, there are a lot of random freakers/zombies wandering around, so you can easily get it while free roaming. You can also get it by sneaking up on people and ambushing them. This is something you'll probably get passively, and I wouldn't focus on it. There are plenty of ways to get it at the end of the game.

Old Reliable

Crafting melee weapons is simple and can be done with a 2x4 or a club combined with materials such as scrap metal, nails, or even a buzz saw. You can unlock crafting recipes by completing Ambush Camps. (See Ambush Camp Hunter.) Unlock the Field Repair skill as soon as possible, which allows you to repair melee weapons using scrap metal, to ensure that your weapons are always in top condition. Scrap can be found in a variety of places, but is most commonly found by opening the hoods of abandoned cars.

Any enemy can be used to obtain the Old Reliable achievement, but the most efficient way is to kill the weak Newts with a single blow. To track your progress towards this achievement, simply navigate to the menu and select Storylines', then Achievements and finally Old Reliable.
Variety is the Spice of Life

To complete this challenge, you must kill a freak or zombie with each of the five different types of crossbow bolts available in the game. Most of these bolts can be unlocked by progressing through the story, while the rest can be obtained by raiding ambush camps.

Note: See below for a complete list of bolts:
  • Crossbow Bolt: Regular bolt. You get this from the start.
  • Residue Bolt: Makes enemies attack each other. Unlocked after the They're Not Sleeping mission.
  • Poison Bolt: Slowly drains the enemy's health. Unlocked after the I've Got a Plan mission.
  • Incendiary Bolt: Lights enemies on fire and can burn nests. Unlocked after clearing 8 Ambush Camps (Refer to Ambush Camp Hunter).
  • Explosive Bolt: Blows up enemies. Unlocked after clearing 12 Ambush Camps (Refer to Ambush Camp Hunter).
D.I.Y. Oregonian

Use crafting materials like bolts to safely craft items from the weapon wheel, traps, explosives, and more.

Tips: You can easily loot human corpses for these materials or find them in places like NERO checkpoints or research labs.
Surviving isn't Living

Chances are you will unlock this achievement through natural progression. However, I would keep an eye out going through the story and do any that you see. These opportunities are more common during the day and can be identified by the sound of survivors crying or screaming for help, accompanied by a Blue ? on the minimap. Don't hesitate to help them and gain valuable experience. These survivors may be fending off freaks, zombies, or humans, held hostage, or trapped in a building or car.

Note: After rescuing them, send them to certain camps to increase your trust level with that camp, so it's important to keep this in mind when deciding where to send them. In addition, any people rescued through side quests, especially those related to camp jobs, can also contribute to this goal.

All Achievements introduced by the New Game+ DLC are listed in this section.

Stage 1: Complete the Main Story

Complete the main story by completing the For an Outlaw Biker mission to access the New Game+ mode in Days Gone. Then navigate to the main menu and select New Game+, choose a completed save file, and select a difficulty level. It is recommended that you make a backup manual save to be able to easily locate your old save file, especially if you have not yet earned all achievements.

Important tips:
  • Upon completion of the main story, proceed to Step 2 of the Roadmap if you completed the story on a difficulty setting other than Survival.
  • Conversely, if you completed the story on a difficulty other than Survival, skip to Step 3 of the Roadmap.

Note: In order to make your Hard II/Survival II run in New Game+ easier, it is important that you acquire most of the skills and powerful weapons during your first playthrough, as they will be carried over into your New Game+ save.

Stage 2: Complete New Game+ on Survival II Difficulty

You can do this even if you have not yet completed the main story on the Survival difficulty setting. For more information on this, refer to 2 Days 2 Done achievement.

Stage 3: Complete New Game+ on Hard II Difficulty

Once you have completed the main story on the Survival difficulty setting, you can confidently take on a New Game+ on the Hard II difficulty setting. Please refer to the 2 Days 2 Done achievement for further details.

New Game+: What carries over and what doesn't

What carries over:
  • Purchased bike upgrades.
  • Achievement progression (with the exception of World's End, Ambush Camp Hunter, Marauder Camp Hunter, and Infestation Exterminator).
  • Trust encampment level, current camp credits, and current camp experience.
  • Purchase of weapons and reward weapons, such as the Mayor's and Sheriff's revolvers.
  • NERO Upgrades
  • Unlocked Skills

What DOES NOT carry over:
  • 18 pieces of IPCA Tech are required for the Stun Gun.
  • Freakers Ears
  • Crafted melee weapons
  • Crafting supplies

One More Ride

For this achievement, replay the entire game and complete the main story. You can easily accomplish this by completing the Survival Mode DLC's Surviving is Living Achievement.

Tips: Instead of replaying the game multiple times, you can complete both achievements by playing the game once on Normal Difficulty and then starting a New Game+ on Survival II Difficulty. The New Game+ will keep all of your bike and character upgrades, making the game easier to play.
2 Days 2 Done

Tips: If you want to complete the game in only two playthroughs, you should always choose Survival II. It may be a bit more challenging, but the time saved by not having to replay the game is well worth it.
Logan's Shadow

In order to obtain the unique BND-150 firearm, players will need to complete a New Game+ playthrough. The weapon, which resembles an assault rifle with a drum magazine and sniper scope attached, has four different types of ammunition that can be crafted similarly to crossbow bolts.

Note: The weapon can be found in the Specials section of each weapons locker. Eliminating both humans and freaks with each type of ammo will earn the player the achievement.
All Achievements introduced in the Survival Mode DLC are covered in this section.


Stage 1: Complete the Game in Survival Mode

Survival Mode is the most challenging level in the game. During the course of the game, you must complete Survival Mode and defeat a horde in less than one minute.

Days Gone in 60 Seconds

This achievement is very easy to get, but it is important to note that the size of the horde and the path of the freakers/zombies can be unpredictable.

Note: It is important to note that the size of the horde and the path of the freakers/zombies can be unpredictable. For a better chance of success, fight during the day and set traps before starting the fight.

Defeat a Horde in under 1 minute in Survival Mode

See the video above for how to do this against a horde.
Surviving is Living

Note: In order to get this achievement, you simply need to replay the entire game and complete the main story. It's worth noting that you can also get the One More Ride achievement from the New Game+ DLC at the same time. If you play through the game once on Normal Difficulty and then enter New Game+ on Survival II Difficulty, you will be able to get both achievements in one playthrough instead of having to replay the game multiple times.
All Achievements introduced in the Challenge Mode DLC are covered in this section.

Stage 1: Complete each challenge once to earn a bronze medal.

Challenge Mode is easily accessible from the main menu, and all Days Gone DLC will be included in in updates and available for free upon purchase. Initially released on a weekly basis, the challenges will all be available to play as of September 2019.

So approach them with confidence and enjoy the thrill of the game! They offer a range of difficulty levels, but with practice you can progress from Bronze to Gold. To maximize your success, start by aiming for Bronze in the first 12 challenges, which will unlock patches to help you complete the earlier challenges. Remember that you can unlock sub-challenges on separate runs, so there is no need to complete them all at once unless you are attempting a Gold run. When you have earned enough credits, feel free to invest in purchasing rings, as they provide additional benefits for the challenges.

It is important to keep in mind that all guides are written by people with varying levels of skill and experience in the game. Estimated time and difficulty may differ from your own, so please note that individual experiences vary. However, the difficulty level is 5/10 based on my rating.

Stage 2: Use unlocked patches and ring perks to replay challenges with ease.

Varying levels of skill are normal, so approach challenges in a way that works best for you. To reach the Founder rank, you should aim for high Silver or even Gold ranks in the challenges that you enjoy the most. A combination of Silver and Gold achievements can help you achieve this goal with just half of the possible rank points (90,000).

It is imperative that you have both a character skin and a bike skin to successfully complete the Gold for I Make This Look Good achievement. In addition, upgrading your rings as you move up the ranks can give you a significant advantage.

Stage 3: Complete all Challenges on Gold and Reach Atleast Bronze on all sub Challenges, Spend 3,000 credits.

It takes practice to increase your skill level from level 5 to level 8+. Most of the bike challenges are painful as the controls are awful, but keep practising, watch videos and learn the best route for each challenge.


Participation Award

Achieving a Bronze level in the weekly challenge is a simple way to earn this achievement. The challenge usually involves fighting a horde within a certain amount of time or completing a drifting challenge. In the horde mode, you can gain time by killing freaks, which will force you to keep fighting for more time. So, until you reach the Bronze level, your goal should be to survive and kill as many freaks as possible.

Note: If the weekly challenge is different, aim for Bronze in that. If you are having trouble, wait until the next weekly challenge and try a different activity.
Second (the) Best

Complete the weekly activity after earning a silver rating to receive the achievement. Similar to the Participation Award achievement.
I Make This Look Good

Go into your character loadout and change your default skin and bike skin to accomplish both goals at once. Then earn a gold medal.

Note: Keep in mind that beating your current high score is also necessary before attempting any other challenges. The main challenge is the most reliable method of unlocking this achievement, as side challenges may not always unlock it.
Golden Boy

Note: Complete all four sub-challenges to a gold standard during the main challenge to earn a gold ranking. Aim for multi-kills, big combos, and killstreaks to earn enough points for a Gold Ranking.
Worthy

Note: Each ring has two upgrades. However, they are locked until you reach a certain rank. The lower rings require lower ranks. These can be achieved quickly. Upgrading all rings is necessary to have a choice of challenge types and to maximize the perks they provide. Aim for all gold by fully upgrading all rings and conquering all challenges with ease.
Gold Team Rules

In order to achieve this, you will need to earn a gold medal in each of the Primary Challenges. This is achievable with practice. Aim for at least silver or gold in the sub-challenges during your gold run to make it easier to meet the requirements. Equipping rings and unlocking patches will give you additional perks during your runs that are essential to achieving gold. Rings provide specific benefits, so customize them based on the requirements of the challenge.

Note: Follow the list below and watch the accompanying videos for guidance on how to achieve gold in all challenges:Credits: Thanks for the instructional videos to MrReign and TheWalkthroughLegend.

Dolla Dolla Bills, Y'all

Chances are you will be pretty close to the Founder rank by the time this happens. If you go for gold on all the challenges, you will naturally earn that amount. Each challenge gives a total of 450 credits, so going for gold on all challenges and completing the sub-challenges will give a total of 5,400 credits. You will receive credits based on the medal you receive for each challenge and sub-challenge. Please find the amount earned per medal below:
  • Gold - 90 Credits 🪙
  • Silver - 45 Credits 🪙
  • Bronze - 15 Credits 🪙

Example: 1 Main Challenge Gold (90) + 4 Sub Challenges Gold's (360) = 5 Gold Medals and 450 credits.
You Done Good, Kid

Sub-challenges are challenges within a main challenge. For example, Challenge 1 - Surrounded, from the Achievement above, has four sub-challenges.

Note: In order to achieve Gold on the challenges, completing most of the 48 of the sub-challenges is required. If you miss any, you can replay the challenge to complete them. It is recommended that you aim for at least a Bronze in each Sub-Challenge, as a medal will be awarded for this challenge.
Lost & Damned

Note: Founder Rank is the second highest rank. It requires 90,000 points. Points are displayed at the top right of the main challenge selection screen. Each gold earns 3,000 points, for a total of 15,000 points per challenge. Therefore, there are 180,000 total points to earn, and Founder Rank requires earning half of the total points.
Gotta Patch 'Em All

Patches are available in Bronze, Silver, and Gold, just like the other items in the Challenges. Achieving the Bronze level in each of the main challenges is enough to unlock all of the patches. This is a relatively easy task that can be done passively while you are pursuing other achievements.

Follow these steps with confidence to unlock each rank:
  • A Bronze patch will be unlocked when you reach Bronze rank on the main challenges
  • The Silver Patch is unlocked when you reach the Silver rank in the challenge
  • Reaching gold rank in a challenge will unlock the corresponding gold patch

Note: To earn the achievement all you need to do is achieve a Bronze level in each of the main challenges.
