Difficulty Achievements
Bring 'em on!
Beat the game on "Bring 'em on!" difficulty or higher


Do or die!
Beat the game on "Do or die!" difficulty or higher


Call me Terror-Billy!
Beat the game on "Call me Terror-Billy" difficulty or higher


I am death incarnate!
Beat the game on "I am death incarnate!" difficulty or higher


These achievements are all earned when you complete the game. As suggested, you get the achievements for lower difficulties together.
You must play on the desired difficulty from the start. Changing the difficulty down mid-game locks you out of getting the achievements for higher difficulties, even if you change it back.

Mein leben
Beat the game on "Mein leben" difficulty


The "Mein leben" difficulty level is unlocked after completing the game at least once and is a one-life no-save mode. Good luck friends.
Story Achievements
Déjà Vu
Make the choice


During the opening sequence, you'll be forced to choose between Wyatt and Fergus like in the first game. Choose wisely. (Actual choice doesn't matter for the achievement.)

Carrying the Torch
Use the power armor


Right after the scene with Caroline and whoever you chose earlier, you'll get into a suit of armor. Can't miss it.

Enemy Within
Stop the Nazi signal from Section F


Soon after, you will have to enter Section F to find the nazis who have been hiding on your U-Boat. Just keep following the story.

Amazing Grace
Recruit Grace's group


After traversing through Manhattan, you'll get this when you meet Grace at the top of that mile high ladder.

It's Fricking Space Aliens!
Find Area 52


After going to Roswell, you'll meet up with Spesh and you'll head into Area 52 to deliver the nuke.

R.I.P.
Kill dad


After detonating the nuke, you'll return to your childhood home. Here you'll meet your Dad again. Make him pay for all he has done.

All the Gains!
Get a new body


Oh man, crazy right? Blew my mind yo, or it would have if it wasn't saved just in time. Also it doesn't matter what upgrade you get at this point, since they all have their own achievements.

Sermons and Moonshine
Recruit Horton's group


Eventually you'll come across another group lead by Horton. After the drinking cutscene, he'll agree to join you.

Venus
Travel to outer space

After the audition and finding your way through the missions, you'll come across a pod system to transport you to the surface of Venus. After a short cutscene, followed by a melee prompt, you'll get this.

The Ausmerzer
Capture the Ausmerzer


After the big fight on the top of the Ausmerzer, you'll get this once you enter the control room up there.

Revolution
Beat the game


Shortly after capturing the Ausmerzer, you'll confront Engel at the TV studio. End her and the game with one swing of the hatchet.
Challenge Achievements
Make a Point
Achieve the highest score in the Shooting Range


After clearing the nazis out of Section F of your U-Boat, Set will ask you to take care of a drone in his shooting range. Do that, then complete the shooting range.

The score you must beat for this is 375, which can be seen on a blackboard in the room upstairs from the range. This isn't too hard to beat, cause you can still get it even if you miss some targets.
The targets seem to come in groups of four, where each group gives 75 points.

You get points no matter where you hit them, so no need to aim for headshots.
When you see BJ.'s name at the top of the board, you're golden.

First Loser
Achieve the second best time in the Killhouse


After meeting up with Grace and bringing her back, you'll be able to complete the Killhouse challenge located just past the stairs down to the shooting range.

The time to beat is 1:29, which is fairly easy to get. After disabling the door you have to shoot all the lit targets and reach the end. Make sure you hit the timer at the end of the course (when you run down the shooting range).

You will get time added at the end if you miss target, but you can usually get away with missing two or three.
Unless you can beat 23 seconds, you want to be second on the scoreboard.
Kill Achievements
Crippled but Able
Perform a takedown while in the wheelchair


You play the first portion of the game in the wheelchair. Sneak up behind any enemy and hit the prompt to perform a takedown. You get ample opportunity, but it can technically be missed.

Bull Rush
Ramshackles tackle a charging Supersoldat


If you didn't pick the Ramshackles after your execution, you can find the contraption in one of the districts. Check the Contraption achievement below for a location.
Ramshackles is active while you are sprinting, so alert a Supersoldat from a distance and he will likely charge toward you. Just sprint into him.

Snakebite
Perform a Constrictor Harness takedown


If you didn't pick the Constrictor Harness after your execution, you can find the contraption in one of the districts. Check the Contraption achievement below for a location.
For a takedown you need to stealth kill an enemy while inside a confined space.

The Sky is the Limit
Perform a Battle Walker takedown


If you didn't pick the Battle Walker after your execution, you can find the contraption in one of the districts. Check the Contraption achievement below for a location.
For a takedown you need to perform a melee kill on an enemy while the Battle Walker is active. This requires an enemy on a ledge at the right height.

Kick It
Kill Hitler during the Aerostat Audition


When you are asked to act out the fight scene during the audition, kick Hitler in the face instead.

They did Nazi that Coming
Stealth kill 10 enemies in a row


As suggested, you are not allowed to be seen between kills. As far as I know you can kill in any way as long as others do not see, possibly including shooting leaking oil out of sabotaged machines.

Hail Mary
Throw a hatchet and kill an enemy from 30m


This could be easier to achieve on a Commander, since their distance is shown to you. Also getting the Ramshackles contraption gives you a more powerful hatchet throw.

Taste of Your own Medicine
Destroy a Zerstörer with an Übergewehr


While entering the ODIN codes on the Ausmerzer, you'll eventually take an elevator up to the top where you'll fight a few groups of enemies as well as a couple giant soldiers (or Zerstörers). The Übergewehr is one of the heavy weapons which have a long charge-up time and fire a large ball which damage enemies then explode. There is actually one just sitting on a box at the bottom of that elevator before the fight. They will eat up 3-4 of those shots before getting destroyed.
Collectibles Achievements
You can view your collectibles progress in the menu under EXTRAS. It will list how many of each collectible there are in each area throughout the game, as well as which district they're in.

Starting a Collection

Toy Collector

Misc. Achievements
Tinkerer
Upgrade a weapon


As you progress you'll come across weapon upgrade kits. Just use one on whichever weapon tickles your fancy.

Specialist
Fully upgrade a weapon


Weapons have multiple upgrades, so just use multiple upgrade kits on the same weapon.

Gun Nut
Fully upgrade all weapons


Same deal as the previous, but for every weapon. Check districts map for areas containing upgrade kits (among other collectibles).

Max a Perk
Max a perk


Perks are leveled up by performing specific actions a certain number of times, like getting 25 headshots. This must done a total of 5 times to max out the perk.

Max all Perks
Max all perks


Read above, but for all perks. Can be tricky to get them all evenly, but you can always farm the leftovers towards the end. Remember that perk progress stays even if you load a save, which means you can save before doing perk objectives and repeatedly load to build it up.

Hard Headed
Collect 1000 helmets


Like above, you can save before collecting helmets and load to farm them, which takes a while...
Ideally find somewhere with at least 3 helmets in one place to farm.

I'm Machine Enough
Beat the Panzerhund ride without killing anyone on 'Bring 'em On!' difficulty or higher


After meeting with Horton, he'll send you on your way on a Panzerhund. This achievement is pretty literal in that you only can't kill anyone while riding the Panzerhund, if you dismount it or it gets destroyed, you can still kill on foot without penalty.
The achievement will unlock when you drop into the water in the sewer.

Sightseeing
Visit a District


After you get your new body, you'll have access to the digital map. Use the map to select different districts. You'll have access to more districts after the mission in Manhattan by completing Enigma puzzles.

Coming Back for More
Visit every District


Using the map in the helm on the Evas Hammer, go to each district available.

Across the Board
Complete the Killboard


After retrieving the dossier from Manhattan, you'll have access to the Killboard at the helm of the U-boat.
This lists all the Übercommanders that you have to find. You can access their locations by 'spending' enigma cards at the enigma machine, which is right next to the Killboard.

Puzzler
Decipher an Übercommander's location using the Enigma Machine


You'll need to do this to access the locations of Übercommanders on the Killboard. You have to pick two halves of the pattern to match the one indicated.

Plus Package
Upgrade a Contraption


Contraptions are the upgrade you get when you get your new body. Upgrade contraptions by completing side quests on Evas Hammer. Check the following achievement for specific details.

Complete Package
Acquire all Contraptions and Contraption upgrades


Contraptions can be found in different districts and upgrades can be awarded for completing quests around the Evas Hammer. Quests unlock once you have the required contraption and must be completed by utilising it.

Contraptions
These can be found in areas that require their respective use in a level. In other words, you'll have to have picked it up before continuing so the location isn't too necessary here (since you'll come across them while going for the Kill Board stuff), but in case you wanted them early...
  • The Constrictor Harness can be found in Manhattan's Nuclear Bunker District, just before you enter the room with the Übercommander. (Thanks to Jedron215 for the tip)
  • The Ram Shackles can be found in New Orleans' Bienville Street District, inside the sewer. (Thanks to Soulmyr for the tip)
Upgrades
Quests for these upgrades can be completed once you have acquired the contraption in question. After you have, keep an eye out for the Point of Interest icon on the Evas Hammer map.
  • The Constrictor Harness upgrade is awarded upon completing the quest to switch off the gas in an area of the ship.
  • The Ram Shackles upgrade is awarded upon completing the quest to clear the blockage to the storage room on a lower deck of Evas Hammer.
  • The Battle Walker upgrade is awarded upon completing the quest to subdue Mr. Stubbins from within a heavily trapped area.
Retro
Play Wolfstone 3D


After completing the mission in Section F, you can explore around the U-Boat a bit. Go up out of Set's lab and find this entrance to Club Kreisau.
You're looking for an arcade machine against the back wall of the club on which you can play all of the original Wolfenstein 3D. Oh, uh... I mean Wolfstone 3D.

Ghost
Finish a District without triggering an alarm


Not too bad. You can do this in any district once you can access them via the map. You can make use of Quicksave and Quickload to ensure you pass it if you're having trouble with this one.

Keep Playing
Wait for the game to resume after the credits


I personally didn't skip the credits at the end of the game, but I feel like you don't have to wait for them to get this. Once you return to the Evas Hammer after the end of the game, you'll get it.

Sidetracked
Complete all side missions

k, cheers
Jepp  [author] Feb 3, 2018 @ 4:34am 
I'm not 100% sure on that, but I do know that you can repeat actions after loading a save and it counts again. Based on that I would GUESS that it would count between playthroughs, but I wouldn't bet on it. Sorry.
Mmmm Bacon Feb 3, 2018 @ 4:23am 
@Jepp Would you happen to know if the Hard Headed achivement progress carries over different playthroughs?
Jepp  [author] Dec 30, 2017 @ 9:41pm 
Thanks, I'll have to get back into this properly Soon™
aztecdaemon Dec 30, 2017 @ 5:00pm 
@Jepp There is a great place to farm helmets for Hard Headed in Roswell. The first section with the rocket train has soldiers you can headshot using double silenced pistols, I got 6 to drop helmets, there are 2 more helmets in a crate on the left side of the bottom platform you drop down from, and 2 more helmets on the walkway with the soldiers talking about the death squads transfer requests.

I've got Laboratory Expert and Venusian Expert and they are the easiest achievements ever -_-
Mochnant Dec 25, 2017 @ 9:53am 
Thanks, Jepp! Really appreciate your work!
Jepp  [author] Dec 24, 2017 @ 10:48pm 
Ah sorry, I will add the new achievements today. (Including Touchdown)
