Warning about missable achievements
- "Noisy Neighbour" for using the war drums when attacking a stronghold is missable, because the amount of strongholds that can be fought is limited. There's plenty of opportunities to complete it, however. You can also quit to main menu and restart the mission if you fail to get the achievement during an attack. The final stronghold attack can be repeated, but the achievement can't be completed during that one.

The rest of the achievements can be finished at your own pace, including after the beating the campaign.
Gameplay Achievements
These are achievements unlocked by doing something specific, be it using a specific mechanic, a specific item or something else.

Perfect
Complete a mission without any crew members becoming incapacitated

Self explanatory, complete a mission without any crew member reaching 0 health. You'll likely get this after the first tutorial mission.

Shiny shiny!
Customise paint or decals on the Battle Wagon

Change the color on any part of your Battle Wagon to unlock this.

WASTED
Use WASTE mode to attack subtarget

Use a gunners WASTE ability and press the WASD keys to target a specific part or crew member on the enemy vehicle.

Defeat Boarder
Defeat an enemy boarder

Some enemy vehicles will drive next to you and 1-2 enemies will jump on board. Just defeat one of them to unlock this.

Going up in the world
Construct a ladder on your vehicle

It may take a while to unlock the parts to make another level on your rig, but the ladders are unlocked from the beginning. Just slap one anywhere and the achievement should unlock.

Need a lift?
Rescue a legendary crew member

Occasionally there will be side missions available to rescue prisoners. Clicking the mission will show the rarity of the character to be rescued. Eventually you will start seeing legendary ones, just complete one of those to unlock this.

All your base are belong to us
Start a mission from a captured stronghold

You'll get this eventually but before panicking that it's broken, do note that it needs to specifically be a stronghold (with named boss encounters). The smaller outposts (with unnamed champions) don't count.

Max Attribute
Level up an Attribute to its maximum level on a crew member

Level any one skill on a crew character to level 15.

There's room for more
Increase the size of your crew

After you capture your first stronghold, you'll gain the ability to increase the size of your crew. Upgrading the crew size uses training manuals, so it's recommended not to spend them all on upgrading the recruit starting level.

Say cheese!
Use photo mode

You can open the photo mode from the pause menu in The Citadel or during missions.

Noisy neighbour
Aggravate a warlord with a War Drum aggravation bonus

When you are attacking a stronghold and get the aggravation bar at the top of your screen, activate the war drums' basic ability to gain a boost to how fast the bar raises. Once the warlord spawns, the achievement should pop.

This achievement is missable. If you defeat all warlords (except the Orator) before completing this, then it can no longer be completed. The achievement can't be completed when attacking the Orator, because he doesn't have an aggravation bar.

Big rig
Add an extra trailer to the Battle Wagon

Once you capture your first stronghold, you'll gain the ability to increase the amount of trailers you can use.

Big gear
Craft a legendary piece of crew gear

As you progress, you'll eventually get blueprints for legendary (purple) crew gear. It may take a while before you have resources to craft them, but the achievement will pop once you craft one.

Om nom nom
Narrowly avoid being eaten by a sandworm

Go into an area with sandworms (the area around The Citadel doesn't have them), preferrably a flat area with no enemies nearby.

Stop your truck and wait for around a minute. If you haven't stopped for long before, you'll get a tutorial popup about sandworm attacks. A bit after that, Ironside will tell you that you'd better get moving. A bit after that, the ground will begin shaking with sand being kicked up around you.

As soon as the sand starts being kicked up, you can blast off with nitro. About 10 seconds after that, the jaws of the sandworm will start to slowly raise up from the ground. Make sure you dont hit them!

Once the sandworm determines that you're no longer in there, it will pull back under the ground. The achievement should pop up after that.

Big gun
Craft a Legendary weapon turret station

As you progress, you'll eventually get blueprints for legendary (purple) weapon stations. It may take a while before you have resources to craft them, but the achievement will pop once you craft one.

Max Crew
Maximise the size of your crew

The maximum crew size is 9. Complete all missions that have training manuals as rewards and don't spend any on upgrading the starting level of recruits if you can help it.

If you've spent too many training manuals on upgrading the recruit starting level, you can farm more with Gekko's races. After winning 5 of his races and getting his blueprint, the race rewards will start to alternate between spare keys and training manuals. Note however, that the races can spawn in any area of the map, including areas you haven't unlocked. Thanks to Hacker_lyx for discovering this.

Running light
Complete a mission without any trailers attached to the Battle Wagon

The easiest way to do this is to use blocks and cantilever shelves to build out on top of the cab.

Start by placing a block on the roof of the cab, then attach cantilever shelves onto the block. Then you can place blocks on those, and keep repeating that like an upside down pyramid until you have a wide enough platform to place weapons and other essentials.

Finally add ladders from the roof of the cab all the way to the platform (the back of the cab works as a ladder, so dont worry about that part).
Discovery Achievements
These are achievements you unlock by discovering secrets.

Bomber Crew
Find the hidden Lancaster Bomber in the Badlands

The bomber is considered a relic, so you'll get it while getting the achievement for all blueprints. However, if you want to know which relic it is, it's located in the Orator's Refuge, near Disciple's Landing.

Space Crew
Find part of Athena Station in the Badlands

The Athena Station is considered a relic, so you'll get it while getting the achievement for all blueprints. However, if you want to know which relic it is, it's located in the Wishbone Ascent area, in Raptor's Perch.

Reveal Map
Reveal the entire map

Simply uncover all areas of the map you can. Remember to keep an eye out for Gekko flags as you complete missions.

Every last scrap
Collect all the blueprints in the game

Definitely the most time consuming achievement of the game, requiring you to complete a ton of side content. Blueprints can be gained as mission rewards and found in relic caches. There are 108 in total, counting both mission rewards and relics.

Whenever you're starting a new mission, have a glance around the map and see which missions have blueprint rewards. Make sure to complete all of them.

Gekko will also reward you with a blueprint for winning around 5 of his races.

For the relics, see the below image for their locations:

Thanks to Potato Launcher for finding and collating the relic locations.

If you lose count of which relics you've gotten, you can look at your resource storage in the Citadel, and count how many blueprints you have in each region. You can use that number to find out which area the missing ones are in.

Here's a list of how many relics are in each:

The achievement "Max Crew" was listed as missable previously. That's now changed thanks to Hacker_lyx on Discord, who found out that it's possible to farm more training manuals with Gekko's races. This info has been added under the "Max Crew" achievement.

@Derp pup Thanks for the info. I assumed that the 3D models were just the wrong way around, but I fixed the location now.

The bomber in the boulder tail is the wrong bomber there was just a bug that triggered for that one but it's been fixed now.

Thank you for making this, particularly with the relic locations.
I've done everything else, but tediously searching each location for them is just awful.
Thanks again <3
