Achievement info

Radio enthusiast

Listened to all the radios before doing anything else

To unlock this achievement, you need to activate (you don't have to stay until the end of the broadcast) every red radio WITHOUT interacting with any of the "action memories". It's safe to activate the proximity based ones and open gates, just don't do anything with the floating orbs, telephones, TVs, etc.
I recommend doing this on your second playthrough, because "running" straight to the end kind of ruins the feeling of the game. Just start a new game dashing through the area only touching these radios and after the 24th you'll unlock this. Keep in mind though that none of these will trigger a saving point, so you have to do it in one go, it should take about 20 mins if you are running. Afterwards you can:

• start and finish Steohen's story by tuning into the 4 motion controlled memories and entering the bunker (to get the Open Ended achievement)
  
• or go back to the start and get every other achievement you missed on the first playthrough.

What do the grey radios do that makes it so they should be avoided?

Edit: Of course you need to switch to the map save beta branch for that to work.

Thanks for this. Even if the game is older by now and it was a pain to get it to run smoothly on a newer Amd card (6700xt) this helped alot.. by the way you can now save by using the "you are here signs" ingame. I didnt at first and crashed halfway through and had to start all over again so i suggest saving since those signs dont count as interacting with the story.

Surprised nobody commented, at all.

Massive thank you for the screenshots! I started the game a couple of hours ago. Will definitely use your guide to explore this achievement.
