Some achievements don't work?

[sockless]

I noticed some achievements don't really work, I've killed plenty of mollochs but I still don't have its achievement, also xenocide doesn't count my kills, I've killed creatures with sub turrets and handheld weapons but it's stuck on 5 kills. Could I be doing something wrong or is it just a bug?

stop playing with cheats then ♥♥♥♥♥♥

pretty sure I don't use cheats, what exactly counts as a cheat?

[KnEe_GrOw]

Cheats are entered with the console (F3) If you haven't used that then cheats are not your problem. If you have been playing on servers online, its possible that a cheat was used at one point on the server before you joined, which would cause achievements to have been disabled for everybody playing on that server.

If I remember correctly, mollochs that spawn for missions don't actually count towards that achievement so you usually need to find one that spawned naturally. The xenocide achievement may still be a bit bugged, I've seen lots of players reports of it not working properly before so that could also be the issue.

Safest bet is either play single player or host your own server, but play as the appropriate role so that you get the achievements.

Got Xenocide recently, played SP only. Not every kill counts, mind you, but it has steadily progressed to 100. I believe the best way to get it is to kill with handheld weapons in SP.

From what I've heard kills are currently only counted in the Security tutorial and nowhere else? Or something like that.

No. I did a security tutorial only once, yet i have the Xenocide.

oof, I wish the cheat detection were a bit more sensitive: I "got" the 100km/h achievement by downloading a ship with inappropriately tuned engines that broke the physics engine now I won't know when I reach it legitimately

Pretty sure legitimately getting this achievement is impossible. Got mine when a moloch glitched into my sub and sent it flying at 200km/h.

I kinda killed the end worm with a nuke im pretty sure the cheat isnt activated but still no achievement also and another thing i got an achievement that i dint even try to unlock for some reason someone died on morbusine even thought i dint kill anyone with it. and its all in single player my suspicion is prob mods.

I got the "Nuclear blast survivor" achievement without my reactor melted down... killed a pirate sub and perhaps their reactor counted for the achievement?!

Exactly.

I doubt mods count as cheats, otherwise people wouldn't get the speed achievement with outside ships.

The issue, I would think, is going into a hosted MP game and someone else using cheats locking others out of getting their gains. From what I read, a closed off multiplayer game with all bots is the best way to get the genocide achieve-o

Can confirm that kills are counted this way, but I don't recall what class I happened to be using. Seems like I remember killing the guard for his ID card. But I wasn't trying to sit down and pop the achievement, just messing around.

Pretty sure the character you're playing as has to make the killing blow. AI might not count.
