General information

• The Partisan achievement has been fixed with the v1.0.3 patch. Whether the other bugged achievement Sting like a bee has also been fixed, is unknown. The patch notes don't mention it. There is, however, a simple temporary workaround.
  
• There are no missable achievements (all locations can be revisited and all main story missions can be replayed)
  
• There are no achievements that are related to levels of difficulty (you can complete the game on any level of difficulty)
  
• Unlike previous Wolfenstein games, many achievements require grinding (kills, silver coins)
  
• Getting all the achievements isn't hard. It is boring.

A note on collectibles

Collectibles in this game are pretty easy to find after you get the Secrets Collector (Mind) ability, which marks all the collectibles with a star on the minimap. All locations can be revisited, so don't worry if you miss something.
Please note, that some collectibles can remain inaccessible until you unlock the right device to open the door (e.g. Elektrokraftwerk). Some locations are inaccessible until a specific side mission is started/completed.

A note on weapon mastery grinding

A good place to do it is the first mission "Der Nachtfalter". There are quite a lot of weak enemies with no armor there and only one Super Soldier.

How to make yellow crates respawn

Yellow crates take 24 hours to respawn.
The game relies on your PC's local time instead of server time, so tweaking the date and time to +24 hours (the next day) will make all yellow crates respawn.

Farming coins looks like this:

1. Run through an area with lots of easily accessible yellow crates (e.g. Riverside)
   
2. Exit to catacombs (you don't even need to restart the game)
   
3. Change the date
   
4. Reenter the area
   
5. Go to step 1

A run on Riverside took me about 4.5 minutes and yielded 1220 silver coins.

Now it's required to reach level 91 to obtain all the abilities. So... this requires a lot more grinding than just lvl 80. That was my last achievement lol. Some tips:
- As in the weapon achievements, the first campaign mission is very useful as at the end it rewards you with a high amount of xp.
- Some palces with lots of enemies such as Riverside, Lab X and Little Berlin which also include big mechanical enemies are very useful too.
- Money cases will award you with the same xp than a Jäger (100 coins) or half (50 coins). The amount depends on the level but if you find them in your way don't hesitate.
- Actions in maps also award some xp, again, complete them if you find them in your way.

A simple workaround:

Originally posted by SAmik37:

Also there is other fix for "Sting like a bee". Choose knife if you use Hatchet. For some reason hatchet don't count stealth kills on Supersoldaten. But still some times knife also don't count kills, so you need like.. Change a knife?.. I used Cybor Knife from Deluxe and that work for me. Make sure that current melee weapon you choose count kills, after every kill check stats screen Enemies > Heavies > Stealth kills. Hope that helps!

There's the "Hammer Rage" pep signal to get ammo for the Hammers.
Spam that as much as possible, focus on one weapon at a time and switch to the next when you run out of ammo. Fairly easy to keep up the grind that way.

Trigger happy

Description: Fire 100,000 shots.

Self-explanatory. Requires grinding (shooting). You can refill your ammo in the Catacombs.

Originally posted by Torus:

Do Gear Head first. That'll give a lot of shots fired. Then
- Use the Maschinepistole with all Improved Tempo upgrades and the dual-wield skill. Go to the Catacombs shooting range. Empty 2 guns at once, refill ammo during the reload animation. Gets 120 shots in about 10 seconds including reloading.
- Or find a mounted Laserhammer, tape down your fire button and go do something useful with your time while the infinite ammo gun is racking up shots for you.

Interesting, it seems reaching level 91 is not enough for me to get all the abilities; I'm at level 83 and still short 10 ability points. I've already completed all quests. I played the game 1st time earlier this year. thanks for the guide, tinkering with windows clock helps a lot with the respawns.

[rlyehG]

Thanks

[Krakodil]

@rlyehG, AFAIK, the base game is enough.

[rlyehG]

Hello, do i need the Deluxe Edition to get 100%? or just need the base game?

[Krakodil]

@✪ Eggplant thank you for your input. I have updated the section and mentioned you in the list of contributors.

A few additions, taking into account the "Treasure Hunt" update:

For "Heavy artillery", Hammer weapons can also be found in the large rectangular wooden crates.

For "right tool for the job", the type of weapon is also shown on the HUD next to the ammo counter.

For "One woman army", there's the "Hammer Rage" pep signal to get ammo for the Hammers.
Spam that as much as possible, focus on one weapon at a time and switch to the next when you run out of ammo. Fairly easy to keep up the grind that way.

For "Trigger Happy":

Anyone have problems with "gear head" archievements? I did improve all 12 weapons but didnt receive the archievement.

[Tomasdk]

I did now, I'm sorry I would have sworn that I read the whole guide some time ago but that part didn't register with me. Must be getting old.
