Days Gone - 100% Achievement Guide

A simple guide to get you through all of the games achievements. This includes video links as well as tips and tricks to help you reach your 100% completion goal by just following the guide along.

Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to help you achieve 100% completion in Days Gone.

Key Points:

• Number of missable achievements: 0
  
• Minimum number of playthroughs: 2
  
• 100% completion time: Around 60h if not more.
  
• Difficulty required for 100%: New game+ with Survival II

General Tips:
You can play through your first run on easy if you want to make it quicker. That way you can focus on the story and just getting the achievements. The difficulty of the game only matters on the new game+ play through.

The first step is to play through the game and complete the main story and any side quests you come across. You should aim to do any encampment jobs you get offered as it unlocks better weapons and bike upgrades by leveling up your camp level. You should aim for level 2 at a minimum when playing through the story as it will only make the game easier for you.

While playing through the story you should always be looting human corpses. This is for the achievement "You've Got Red on You" and it requires you to loot 541 items from human bodies. Which is easily achievable if you loot the bodies during the story. Leaving this to the end of the game can cause problems as you run into far less dead humans once you have finished the game. I should add that you don't need to loot 541 separate bodies as some drop more than one item.

One of the key things in the game I should mention is that fast travel does exist. If you clear out a NERO Checkpoint you can use them as fast travel markers as well as safe houses and enemy camps. Now these won't always be available depending on where you are in the story but you can certainly use them to get around at the end of the story. The requirement to unlock these points is to clear out the checkpoints and once cleared you power on the facility and enter the building. However, there are some catches to this and an example would be if there is a freaker infestation in between you and your destination it won't let you fast travel. You would have to clear it out before being able to use that fast travel route. Check the this video for any further details.

Finally before getting into the guide I would like to mention temporary points of no return. You will find after finishing the 3rd region you get a pop up saying that this is a point of no return and again at the 5th region. These are temporary and once you complete the main story you can free roam back to these areas. You will just be blocked from going back to them while finishing the main story. So don't worry if you miss something in an earlier area you can always go back after you finish the game.

If you need any help or have something you think should be added to the guide feel free to post a comment and I'm sure I can add it or help you out including anyone else who has knowledge on the game. Good luck achievement hunting.

Natural Progression

These are unlocked though natural progression during the game meaning you don't need to worry about them. You will unlock the below achievement once you have gotten all other achievements.

One Percenter
Go above and BEYOND, unlocking every achievement in Days Gone
You have to relaunch the game after you unlock all the other achievements for this to pop.

They are listed in the order you unlock them and I've included what missions you need to finish to unlock each achievement.

One Down

You can kill a horde earlier in the game if you choose but it will be harder to do. Furthermore, if you die to many times attempting this you can choose to skip it and you get the achievement for free. However, I'd suggest giving it a go as you will need to clear all hordes later and this can be good practice. Remember you can pack extra ammo on your bike using saddlebags. I'd suggest using grenades and heavy weapons to cull the horde and use lighter weapons to finish off random zombies.

Storylines

In this section you will find each achievement related to storylines in the game. This includes the "Ambush Camp Hunter", "Infestation Exterminator", "Marauder Camp Hunter" and the "World’s End" storylines. If you click on each achievement's name it will take you to a YouTube video showing all the locations you need to visit. I've also attached below each one a text version that has images of each location you need to visit. This can be done at the end of the game but you will get a lot passively by just playing through the main story.

Special Thanks to PowerPyx for these sections and the work he put into them.



Welcome to the Party Pal
Clear all Ambush Camps, Infestations, and NERO Checkpoints in a single region

No guide needed for this one as long as you are going for the 4 achievements below. This will just unlock passively for you since you need to clear every single one from the game rather than just one region. However, if you are just wanting this achievement I've still attached a guide.

Collectibles

In this section of the guide I will cover the collectables you need to get within the world. You actually don't need to get 100% of the collectables you only need to find 75% of them which means you can leave the harder ones. You can get the collectables at anytime and I'd suggest just getting them at the end of the game in free roam and just picking the odd one up if you happen to find any in the open world. If you follow the video along on any achievement you will get all 3 of these.

If you don't want to follow the video along and would rather a text/image guide then just click the link below each achievement and special thanks to PowerPyx. His written guide includes all the images and text you would need to find these collectables.

Go Kick Rocks
Knock down 12 Anarchist Cairns
Written Guide[www.powerpyx.com]

Although these aren't specifically collectables they are still something you need to go around the map and destroy so I've listed them under this category. There are actually a lot of these around the map but you only need to destroy 12 of them. Be on the lookout while playing the game and you will probably just get this passively. See the image below for what they look like and see the video attached for 12 locations that are close together to make it a bit quicker.

Miscellaneous Part 1

In this section I will go over achievements that you can get at any point during the story or require you to do certain events within the game. I've tried to list the passive one's nearest to the top so you can be doing it while just playing the game.



You’ve Got Red on You
Collect 541 Items from corpses
Only Humans drop items!

You want to be looking to actively get this achievement from the beginning of the game. Items can only be obtained from human bodies not freakers/zombies. So anytime you see a human body you should be looting it regardless of what they have.

Remember you need to actually pick up these items so they go in your inventory you can't just discover them on a body. They usually drop more than one item per body so make sure to pick up everything. They also tend to drop a lot a throwables, health or crafting supplies to try to use the ones you currently have during the fight. That way you can pick them all up after the battle. I'd suggest playing on hard so you are forced to use some healing without it being to difficult.

You can encounter humans throughout the game mainly during story missions, ambush camps and encampment jobs. This is where you will find the most humans that you can loot and should be always looking to loot them. If you don't get this by the end of the game then you will have to drive about and hope for random spawns. They usually spawn in towns or around gas stations so look around there if you still need it.

Lend Me Your Ears
Collect 989 Freaker Ears

You should get this passively through out the game if you are going for all the achievements. All you need to do to collect these Ears is to simply walk over the top of any freaker/zombie bodies. There are a number of hordes in the game so you should get it by just finshing the story. However, if you don't have enough by the end of the game. All the hordes will be visible on the map for you to go clear out. Allowing you to get the rest.

I should add that you don't need all these ears in your inventory at one time you can actively sell them to bounty vendors for rewards. It's just an overall collection.

This is a Knife
Kill a Breaker, Reacher, or Rager with a knife
Remember you only need to kill one of these so just pick which ever is easier.

You first encounter the breaker during the mission "Playing All Night" which is in the 4th region. They spawn in free roam after this mission but it's easier to get the kill with the knife during the "boss" battle. This is because it's a 1v1 and he has a health bar so you can shoot him until he's low without the worry of him dying to quickly. I'd suggest getting him to about 10% health and using the boot knife for the rest. If you happen to fail at this attempt then don't worry just kill him in free roam. I would knife a lot sooner though since you don't know what his current HP is unlike during that mission.

The second variant you need to kill is the reacher. You will first encounter this during the mission "What It Takes To Survive" which is given by O'Brien and you are tasked with exploring a cave. The reacher is essentially the elite version of the normal freaker/zombies. It can be identified by it's fur on it's back. I'd suggest trying to kill this during the mission above as it comes with a health bar making it easier to determine when it's low. 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. Alternativly molotov the reacher and once low go for a kill with the boot knife. Yet again though if you don't happen to get it during this mission that's fine as they spawn in free roam.

Finally we have the rager which is essentially a zombified bear. You will first encounter the rager during the mission "Mayday! Mayday!" which happens as soon you arrive in the crater lake region. The first encounter is treated as a boss like the other two so the rager gets a health bar. Aim to kill it during this mission since you can boot knife him once low. I recommend using the molotov to kill it and heavy weapons like a sniper to lower it. Once again if you happen to kill him with a normal weapon then you can find them in free roam after the mission ends.

Alternatively, you can level your melee skills to unlock "Executioner". Allowing you to takedown heavies.

Farewell Drift
Accumulate 10 minutes of drifting while on your bike

This is actually very easy to do as you can get it passively through out the game or you can grind it at a fuel station. When grinding this you just need to drift in a circle while making sure the front wheel stays locked in position.

The best place to grind this achievement is at O’Leary Mountain Safehouse (Boozer’s Tower). It's a safe zone so you don't need to worry about freakers/zombies. While also having a fuel station there for you to refuel your bike. So all you would do is drift in a donut until your fuel is low, refuel and begin the process again until you unlock the achievement. Find the common control methods to do this below:

Xbox Controller: Left joystick to the left + RT + B
PlayStation Controller: Left joystick to the left + R2 + O
PC: W + A + Alt

Ghost of Farewell
Get 100 stealth kills

You have to approach an enemy from behind. This will allow you to "assassinate" them. The easiest way to do this is to throw a distraction rock at freakers so you can easily walk up and stealth kill. It's worth adding that you don't need to be in stealth for this you can just run up behind and perform this action as long as they haven't entered combat. Though I'd still suggest doing it silently if you are trying to get a few freakers/zombies in one area. That way they don't go onto you after one kill. You can get this easily in free roam at night as there are loads of random freakers/zombies wandering the land. You can also get this at ambush camps on humans. This is something you will probably passively get and I wouldn't focus on it as there are plenty of ways to get it at the end of the game.

Old Reliable
Kill 200 Enemies with a Crafted Weapon

You can only craft melee weapons and throwables/explosives. So the quickest way to get this is by making melee weapons. You unlock the "Spiked Bat" during an early story mission which is an introduction to the ambush camps. So I'd suggest making one and combining it with the "Field Repairs" skill. This will allow you to repair the bat with scrap you find in the world. Aim to kill any solo or small groups with this weapon and just use guns for any big groups or hordes.

Miscellaneous Part 2

Surviving isn’t Living
Rescue 10 survivors

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. You will mainly find them during the day. They are easily recognisable because you can hear survivors crying/screaming for help and it will be accompanied by a blue "?" on the mini-map. They can be fending of freakers/zombies or humans, being held hostage and sometimes they are stuck in a building or a car.

After saving them you can send them to certain camps which will increase your trust at that specific camp so keep that in mind when choosing where to send them. Any humans you save during side quest, specifically the encampment job can also count towards this.

Variety is the Spice of Life
Kill an enemy with every type of crossbow bolt

There are 5 different crossbow bolts in the game and you need to kill a freaker/zombie with each type. You will unlock most of the bolts by just playing through the story and the rest are through ambush camps. Find the a list below showing the 5 types for a more details overview:

• Standard Bolt - Automatically unlocks from the beginning of the game.
• Residue Bolt - Automatically unlocked from story mission “They’re Not Sleeping”.
• Poison Bolt - Automatically unlocked from story mission “I’ve Got a Plan”.
• Incendiary Bolt - Automatically unlocked from completing 8 Ambush Camps.
• Explosive Bolt - Automatically unlocked from completing 12 Ambush Camps.

D.I.Y. Oregonian
Craft 50 items

Items can be crafted from the weapon wheel using crafting materials. You can craft anything from bolts, health items, traps, explosives and much more. Chances are you will get this naturally by just playing the game. You can get crafting materials from looting human corpses. Furthermore, you can find materials at places like NERO Checkpoints or Research Labs. See the video attached if you need further guidance on this achievement.

Motorbike, Skills & Upgrades

In this section I will cover all the achievements that are related to the bike. These can be upgrades or certain tasks you need to do that involve the bike.


First Time Buyer
Upgrade your bike for the first time

A guide isn't really needed for this one as it's pretty self explanitory. However, you can get this by talking to the mechanic in any camp. I'd suggest getting a performance upgrade first to help speed things up but it really doesn't matter as long as you choose one.

The Art of Bike Repair
Apply 100 scrap to your bike

You can apply scrap to your bike by reparing any damage. Chances are you will recieve damage to your bike through out the game so just repair it as you play. However, if you need to get this just crash your bike, do big jumps and drive through water. This will all cause damage to the bike allowing you to use scrap to repair it. As a side not you can use the skill "Monkey Wrench" which essentially makes 1 scrap do the same affect as 2 scrap. This can work against you as it takes less scrap to repair the bike. However, I wouldn't worry about it since you repair the bike a lot.

Farewell Original
Purchase an upgrade under the Performance, Visual, and Paint Categories for your bike

You can get this achievement at the first encampment and you will probably get it passively anyway. All you need to do is purchase one upgrade in each category for you bike. If you just want the achievement just buy the cheapest upgrades otherwise feel free to save for better upgrades to help you.

Burnout Apocalypse
Use nitro and drift at the same time on your bike for at least 5 seconds

This is one of the later game achievements so I wouldn't worry about it until you reach the 4th camp or finish the game. You can only achieve a 5 second nitro boost from the Nitrous 3 upgrade as the Nitrous 2 only last 4.5 seconds where as Nitrous 3 lasts a little over 6 seconds.

If you want to do this straight away you will need to purchase Nitrous 3 from the 4th camp "Diamond Lake". You are required to reach trust level 3 with this camp first so you will have to grind camp and story missions in that area. While also dealing with any hordes. Once you reach trust level 3 which should be near the end of the game if not after the main story you can purchase Nitrous 3 and perform a doughnut similar to the "Farewell Drift" achievement but while using nitrous. Click the title of this achievement if you require a visual guide on how to do this.

It's hard to do this with a fully upgraded bike so equip a lower tier engine and wheels to make this easier. If you have/keep a fully upgraded bike then just fast travel to Iron Mike's, and as soon as the screen loads go off the road to your left, right into the water. It may seem it won't work at first glance because the water swallows almost half of the bike or your nitrous doesn't work but just go further along till it does, but it does work. Just get in there, find a rather wide spot in the water, start drifting normally in a circle, then push the nitro button and don't let go. You won't find any resistance, despite being in the water.

Better Living through Chemistry
Upgrade either your Health, Stamina, or Focus for the first time

This should automatically unlock through the story so it's not missable. Health / Stamina / Focus upgrades require NERO injectors and you get the first one during storyline “He’s My Brother”. Choose which ever upgrade you prefer as you need to max one out anyway.

Performance Enhanced
Max out either your Health, Stamina, or Focus

You can find the NERO injectors exclusively from NERO Checkpoints/Research sites. After obtaining the first one from the story mission "He's My Brother" you should know they are usually all located in some kind of box/container. Chances are you might find enough to max out 1 of the options by just playing the story. However, if you want to max them all out please click the achievement for a video guide on all locations. I'd suggest maxing out Health or Stamina first as they are much more useful than Focus. If you are just going for the achievement then just pour all your upgrades into one option like "Health". If you are maxing them all out anyway then just put it where ever you want.

Don’t Stop Me Now
Unlock your first skill


I’m Out of Control
Unlock 15 skills


There’s No Stopping Me
Unlock 30 skills


Mr. Fahrenheit
Unlock 45 skills

The game has a total of 45 Skills so this is essentially an achievement for getting all skills. You will passively get most of them by doing other achievements. You can get about 40 from clearing the story and NERO Checkpoints/Research Sites. However, the last few are only gained by clearing all the hordes on the map. Luckily once you have finished the main story all hordes get marked on your map allowing you to find them and clear them out as well the the rest of the map opening up to free roam. So if you want this achievement just finish the story, clear all checkpoints and research sites then finally clear every horde. It's a lot of work but you should gain all the skills by the end of it. Please see this guide if you want a few tips with dealing with the hordes. They can be daunting.

Encampment/Safe Zones

In this section of the guide I will cover any achievements that are centred around the encampments or require a use of one. A lot of these achievements require you to get a good trust level, spend a lot of money and complete camp tasks.


Kitchen Courier
Sell Animal Meat or Plants to any Encampment

This is one the the easier achievements to get and you can do it in the very first camp. Chances are you will unlock this naturally anyway by playing the game but if you want it straight away the fastest method is to pickup any herbs, berries, mushrooms or meat from an animal and hand them over to the Kitchen Vendor at the camp. If you are struggling to find plants try leveling the skill "Hawkeyed" which helps identify pick able plants in the wilderness.

Make it Rain
Spend 20,000 credits at one Encampment

This one sounds pretty easy as you just need to spend money at your camp which is easily achievable by buying all the weapons that are offered and upgrades. However, getting 20,000 credit's is another story since you only get credits for that camp by doing missions for that camp. Chances are if you have cleared the main story and done a lot of side jobs you are already close or have 20,000 credit's. If you don't then please find below a few methods for making money that you will need to complete.

Credit Earning Methods:
- Story Missions
- Encampment Jobs (Side Quests)
- Side Activities (Nero Checkpoints, Infestations, Ambush Camps)
- Hordes (killing a horde in the region where the camp is)
- Bounties (giving Freaker Ears to the camp)
- Camp Kitchen (delivering plants and animal meat)
- Survivors (sending Survivors to the camp)

Now the issue comes because you need to spend 20,000 at one specific camp and your money isn't universal as each camp has it's own currency. The easiest camp to do this at is the 3rd camp called “Iron Mike’s” in the 3rd region “Lost Lake”. So I would focus on buying anything big from that camp. This is because there are a lot of checkpoints and story missions in this region giving you a bigger payout than the other camps. Eventually this camp becomes a point of no return until you finish the story but after you can go back and spend as much money as you need.

Best Friends Forever
Receive the Allied Trust status with an Encampment


Best Friends Forever (For Life)
Gain the Allied Trust status with three different Encampments

There are a total of 5 camps in the game with you needing to get 3 of those 5 to maximum trust. The one I would focus on the most is "Iron Mikes" camp as it helps with other achievements and the other 2 camps are totally up to you.

Ways to earn trust with a camp:
- Story Missions
- Encampment Jobs (Side Quests)
- Side Activities (Nero Checkpoints, Infestations, Ambush Camps)
- Hordes (killing a horde in the region where the camp is)
- Bounties (giving Freaker Ears to the camp)
- Camp Kitchen (delivering plants and animal meat)
- Survivors (sending Survivors to the camp)

The story missions and side quests will get you to Level 2 with most camps but you will need to start defeating hordes in each of the regions if you want to progress to Level 3. I'd try and leave this one till after you have finished the game that way you have the right tools to combat a horde and they all get marked on the map. You need to kill the hordes for the skill points achievement anyway so this shouldn't be to much of a hassle.

DLC - Survival Mode

In this section I will cover all the achievements introduced through the survival mode DLC.


Days Gone in 60 Seconds
Defeat a Horde in under 1 minute in Survival Mode

This is one of the easier achievements in the game by far. I'll list a few tips and the better locations to attempt this at but it is a bit RNG with what horde size you get and where the freakers/zombies path. You should aim to fight them during the day so you can lay traps down before starting the fight.

Best Horde Locations (All in the starting area):
- White King Mine (Horde in the mine)
- Little Bear Lake (Horde in a wooden shack)
- O'Leary Mountain (Horde in a cave)



Before you fight any of these hordes make sure it's day time. Get a look at your surroundings and figure out if there are any explosive barrels around or other traps in the environment that you can use to cull the horde. After you figure out where things are devise a path you are going to take the freakers in when they chase you. Aim to put your own traps or throw grenades in between these static barrels or environment traps. That way they are constantly getting damaged as they chase you. Kill the rest with Heavy Weapons and keep shooting as you run away. With a bit of luck you should kill the horde in under a minute. The horde shouldn't be to big so a machine gun should do most of the job for you.

Surviving is Living
Complete the story of Days Gone in Survival Mode

This is one of the achievements that requires you to replay the entire game and complete the main story. Luckily this can be done in conjunction with the achievement "One More Ride" from the "New Game+" DLC. If you play-through the game once on normal then enter new game+ with survival II difficulty you can get both achievements in one play-through rather than replaying the game more than two times.

DLC - Challenge Mode

In this section I will cover all the achievements introduced through the Challenge Mode DLC.


Participation Award
Earn your first Bronze Medal in a Challenge

You can get this achievement by simply achieving a bronze level in the weekly challenge. This is usually fighting a horde within a certain amount of time or a drifting challenge. In the horde mode you get time back from killing freaks so it forces you to keep fighting them. So just try and survive and kill as many as you can until you reach the bronze level. If the weekly challenge is something else just aim to get bronze in it. If you are struggling just wait till the next weekly challenge and try another activity.

Second (the) Best
Earn your first Silver Medal in a Challenge

Similar to the "Participation Award" you need to now get a silver rating in the weekly activity. Once you reach it just die or finish the activity and you should be awarded with the achievement.

I Make This Look Good
Earn a Gold Medal in a Challenge with a Character Skin and Custom Accent equipped

You can actually do these two achievements together just go into your character loadout and switching your default skin and changing your bike skin. You then need to earn a gold medal. Sadly you apparently also need to beat your current high-score so try to keep that in mind before doing any other challenges. The main challenge seems to be the most consistent at unlocking it as the side challenges sometimes don't unlock it.

Golden Boy
Earn your first Gold Medal in a Challenge

This one is quite hard to achieve and you have to do almost everything perfectly. However, to get this achievement you simply need to achieve a gold rating in the weekly challenge mode. Getting up to the required score might take a long time and in some cases around 20 minutes in horde mode so do try to be patient.

Worthy
Fully upgrade any Ring

Pretty self explanatory simply upgrade one ring to max level in your loadout.

Gold Team Rules
Earn a Gold Medal in all Challenges

This is another achievement that can take a lot of time and can be a real pain. You need to achieve gold in all challenges. Luckily you don't need to do sub-challenges. Please find each challenge listed along with a video to assist give you some guidance on each challenge.

Challenge 1 - Surrounded
Challenge 2 - Survive
Challenge 3 - Drifters Run
Challenge 4 - Ambush Camp Rush
Challenge 5 - Keep Them Safer
Challenge 6 - Dead Don't Ride
Challenge 7 - Infested
Challenge 8 - Outride
Challenge 9 - Reload
Challenge 10 - Hog Wild
Challenge 11 - Dead Before Daylight
Challenge 12 - Black Friday

You Done Good, Kid
Earn a Medal in all Sub-Challenges

Sub-Challenges are challenges with in a main challenge. So for example Challenge 1 - Surrounded from the achievement above has 4 sub challenges in it. As do each of the other challenges. Meaning there are 48 sub-challenges in total. Chances are you will get most of these if you are going for Gold on the main challenges. Then if you miss any you can always replay the challenge just to complete the one you missed. Any medal goes for this one so just aim for bronze in each sub-challenge.

Dolla Dolla Bills, Y'all
Spend 3000 credits on your Loadout

Chances are you will be pretty close to the founder rank by the time this comes around and if you are going for Gold on all the challenges you will naturally earn this amount. You can earn a total of 450 Credits per challenge meaning if you get gold on all challenges and do the sub challenges you will net 5,400 credits. Each challenge and sub challenge gives you credits depending on what medal you get. 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

Lost & Damned
Reach the Founder Rank

If you achieve gold and silver medals in most challenges and sub challenges you will have earned enough "reputation" to level up to the Founder Rank. If you are going for gold on all challenges this should just come naturally.

Gotta Patch 'Em All
Unlock all Patches

Patches all come with getting bronze, silver and gold in all the challenges. Luckily you only need bronze in each main challenge to unlock all the patches. So this isn't to hard and it should come passively if you are doing the other achievements.

DLC - New Game+

In this section I will cover all the achievements introduced through the New Game+ DLC.


One More Ride
Complete the story of Days Gone in New Game+

This is one of the achievements that requires you to replay the entire game and complete the main story. Luckily this can be done in conjunction with the achievement "Surviving is Living" from the "Survival Mode" DLC. If you play-through the game once on normal then enter new game+ with survival II difficulty you can get both achievements in one play-through rather than replaying the game more than two times. It's worth noting that on New Game+ you keep all the upgrades you made to your bike and character. So it should make it easier.

2 Days 2 Done
Complete the story of Days Gone on Hard II or Survival II in New Game+

If you are wanting to complete the game in only two play-through's you should always select "Survival II". It may be slightly harder but the time you would need to put in to complete the game again just isn't worth it.

Logan's Shadow
Kill an enemy with every type of ammo from a mysterious weapon earned in New Game+

This achievement can only be unlocked in a New Game+ play-through because it unlocks a special gun called "BND-150". It looks like an assault rifle with a drum magazine and a sniper scope attached.

You can acquire this gun by going to any Gun Locker and it should be under specials. It has 4 different types of ammo in total which can all be crafted similar to how you would craft a crossbow bolt. After that you simply need to kill humans or freakers with each ammo type to earn the achievement.

Thanks!

Can someone help me? I got all the achievements, the "one percent" achievement didn't appear, what can I do?

Amazing guide. 60.5 hours to complete and i couldn't have done it that fast without this guide. Thank you.

It doesn't have to be there is a number of ways you can do it. However, the best recommend way is to do the game on easy get everything else then focus on just the DLC achievements in New game+ with Survival II. You could could switch it up and do it a few different ways. It's mainly personal preference but for those wanting to 100% it quickly that is the recommended way to do it.

Why does it have to be Survival II on the second play-through? Won't it count if you've played it on Hard II for the "2 Days 2 Done" Achievement? Or am I missing something?

Hi Ice Princess, your completely fine playing the game on normal on your first play through so don't worry about that and just focus on getting the rest of the achievements. However, if you want to do it in 2 play through's you would need to select 'Survival II' when playing New Game+. Other than that your all good. Enjoy the game!

I have a question, am I getting this right? I don't want to make a mistake and play the game three times. So is it okay to play it on normal difficulty once for the first time, and then just pick "Survival II" on new game+ in order to get the three achievemtens "Surviving is living", "One more ride", and "2 Days 2 done", or do I also have to select "Survival 2" on my first playthrough without new game+ ? I know it's described in the achievement texts there, but it still confuses me a bit if I'm being honest. I'd rather wanna play on regular difficulty for the first playthrough and collect and do everything there, and then choose the hardest difficulty on new game+ and just do the story there but I still would like to get ALL the achievements in two playthroughs.
Thanks for the guide, 5 stars!
