Into the Radius achievement guide 2022 (100%)

A guide on how to get every achievement for Into the Radius on Steam

Introduction

This is a comprehensive guide to all 10 achievement in Into the Radius VR. I will try and update this guide with pictures and more information as I gather it. There are spoilers in this guide and I do recommend playing this game in its entirety first. All achievements are unlockable after you complete the game!

Because an update with new content and bugfixes is released almost every month the information in this guide may not be up to date. Feel free to leave comments with corrections

Hello Darkness

Die in the Radius for the first time

This is probably the first achievement you will get. Just die in the radius by any means to unlock this achievement. The most reliable is to be killed by entities (enemies) or anomalies.

My Bloody Buddy

Buy your first weapon

This is likely an achievement you will get naturally, just buy any gun form the shop to unlock this achievement

Classic Move

Kill an enemy with a barrel explosion

The best place to do this is in the security depot on Pervomay Route, you come here for the second mission to find the film. You can find a red gas tank in the far corner behind the hangar. I recommend to shoot a fragment until it goes into orb mode, because a fragment will not be instantly killed by the gas tank. Once it is into orb mode throw the tank under it and shoot at it. The tank will make a loud sound and explode after 3 seconds. This should unlock the achievement

Hoistman

Climb up the crane, kamikaze

To do this achievment you need to climb up the crane in Bolotky. The crane is very hard to miss and can be spotted from the entrance of the road. To unlock the achievement simply climb up the crane from the inside. Watch out for the rifle mimic on the roof of the building next to it. You will probably get some unwanted attention from this building in general so I recommend going in armed with at least 1 other gun that is not a double barrel.

Once you are on top, simply drop down a save point and then jump off the crane.

Unseen Danger

Take damage from Stomper anomaly

There have been multiple reports of this achievement not unlocking.
I do not know why it sometimes unlocks and sometimes not. But making a new save and trying again might unlock this. Try it when you are doing the game in ironman mode

To unlock this achievement you need to take damage from a stomper anomaly. these can be found in the Podeba Factory roaming around the left side of the map in the quarry.

Stomper anomalies are invisible but make loud stomping sounds and are seen moving through clouds of dust.

Impeccable shot

Put down an enemy from a 200-meter distance

The easiest way of getting this achievement is to buy a tiger rifle after game completion. This will require a bit of setup and some glitches to work though.

1. Buy a tiger rifle with an 8x scope and 2 clips and the necesary ammuniton
   
2. Make your way over to the Pechorsk Castle
   
3. Go under the entrance and next to the door, position yourself against the wall and press unstuck in the options.
   
4. You will now be teleported on the roof where you had to be for the last mission.
   
5. Take out your rifle and shoot the mimics on the other side of the castle wall. Try and create as much distance between you as possible, however a straight shot should also be > 200m. But it never hurts to be careful.

This works because there is no fog in the Pechorsk castle map and you can see quite far. Also try to pick out a mimic that does not have any armor on since you probably do not have armor piercing bullets.

The enemies are small and hard to miss at this distance. Packing +P ammunition may help to kill them in one shot and prevent them from taking cover

Alternatively, inside the castle

Past the first fight with the soldiers. At some point you come to the water and you can walk left on a beach. From there, you see enemy on the wall to the north (check the map). (Courtesy of rogermorse)

Sellable artifacts are all found in anomaly clusters around the radius. Some are more rare than others and will only be found in the later areas of the game like Kolkhoz.

You need to finish the entire game to get this achievement.

Immortal Soul

Complete the game in Ironman Mode

For this one you need to make a new game with the ironman mode enabled. Make sure that you select realistic preset. So high enemy perception, sleeping does not restore health, player is not shown on the map, no tracer bulletc etc.

After that just play the game like normal. ALT-F4 on dying does not work it makes an immediate save when you get kiled. If you get stuck in the ground however you can still use it and it will revert back to the latest autosave.

The achievement unlocks when you shoot Katya, the Radius or yourself in the final cinematic

Shooting Ranger

Complete the Killhouse Сhallenge

With the release of the 2.2 update the shootingrange is back. I have not yet confirmed if this achievement unlocks. But theoretically you would enter the shootingrange from Vanno and try the Killhouse. The achievement should unlock upon completion.

Ground Control

Find all audio logs on the history of the Radius

The tapes are now all available in the 2.0 version.

This used to be by far the worst achievement to get. However, it seems that the four tapes now have guaranteed spawning locations.

" the first tape is located in Pervomay route at police station. it's in the third story of the building to the left.

the second tape is in bolotky village in the construction site. it's on the second floor on one of the windowsills facing the crane out front.

the third tape is in pobedia factory. it spawns in a drawer or cabinet in the room you unlock once you complete The Intrusion, a later game story mission. Note: you can only complete this achievement if you complete The Intrusion mission.

the fourth and final tape is in Pechorsk castle. by the house in spawn area before the bridge, there's a brick garage building. it should either be on the shelves or the floor by the shelves. HUGE THANKS TO u/plutoNZL FOR THIS INFORMATION "

[OnGod]

For some reason, the first achievement I have is Shine Bright. (On Quest) just weird

[Matt_TheRock]

My shine bright acheivement randomly resets and Idk what to do?

[jashka34]

Impeccable shot: Tigr + Scope 7-35x56mm B. Go from Vanno to Kolkhoz Zarya by quick transition. Don't move after loading the map, stay where you are! Shoot the mimic on the railway bridge. Done.

[MadKrol]

approved Ric0 comment - complete ironman on easy

[Ric0]

In case anyone is going for this and haven't checked other sources, you don't need to play on realistic difficulty when going for the Immortal Soul (Ironman Mode) achievement. I just got the achievement myself and I played the entire game on the easiest difficulty. You just have to make sure to tick the Ironman Mode button when starting a new save. I'd recommend backing up your save file just before you start the final cutscene and make your choice just to be safe. I got it on my first try without having to reload but better to be safe than sorry with an achievement like this one.

Very Helpful, thank you!

@shofel

I just discovered that there's a potato artifact in the new tutorial that also counts. Make sure you haven't missed that one

[shofel]

I have 18/19 artifacts after finishing the game, Wiki page states there are only 18 currently in the game (Atom was removed I understand). Is there a way to get this somehow?

[RainbowTaco_]

@05pietr20 they do not

[05pietr20]

do these look any different than any other tapes?
