Tips |
|---|---|---|

Am I a Real Pirate Now? |
Dig up buried treasure for the first time. |
We have a full guide for this. |
|
Boarding Enthusiast |
Capture a trampler. |
Board an enemy trampler, eliminate or drive off the crew, then claim it as your own. Team coordination makes this much easier. |
|
Friendly! |
Deal 50,000 damage to enemy tramplers during one expedition. |
Focus on attacking enemy tramplers throughout an entire match. Heavy weapons and prolonged vehicle battles help you reach the damage requirement. |
|
Galician al-Gaib |
Land a headshot on another player from over 250 meters away. |
Use a scoped rifle, find elevated terrain, and take shots at distant enemies. A rangefinder or spotting teammate can help judge distance. |
|
Geologists, Huh? |
Eliminate 25 players during a single expedition. |
This is one of the hardest achievements. Seek out high-traffic locations, aggressively engage enemy crews, and stay alive long enough to keep your kill count climbing. |
|
I See It, I Take It |
Capture five tramplers in one expedition. |
Rather than destroying enemy vehicles, repeatedly board and capture them. Playing with a coordinated squad makes this significantly easier. |
|
I’m Tramplin’ Here! |
Honk your trampler’s horn from the steering room. |
Once you’re driving a trampler, sit in the steering position and use the horn. It’s a quick hidden achievement. |
|
Is It Gone Now? |
Successfully stun the Leviathan. |
Fight the Leviathan using the appropriate weapons until it enters its stunned state. Attempt this with a well-equipped team. |
|
Is This the Last One!? |
Open the Black Door. |
Go to the Dreadnaught and open the mysterious Black Door. |
|
Just a Flesh Wound |
Take 5,000 damage during one expedition. |
Survive multiple fights, heal often, and avoid dying before reaching the total damage taken. Tankier gear and medical supplies are helpful. |
|
Meat Grinder |
Deal 5,000 damage to enemy players during one expedition. |
Participate in frequent PvP engagements. Even if you don’t secure every kill, consistent player damage counts toward the total. |
|
Menace |
Destroy six tramplers during one expedition. |
Prioritize blowing up enemy tramplers instead of boarding them. Bring explosives or heavy anti-vehicle weapons to speed things up. |
|
Patches and Bailing Wires |
Repair 40 trampler malfunctions during one expedition. |
Stay with your trampler throughout the run and repair every malfunction as soon as it appears. Longer expeditions provide more repair opportunities. |
|
Pesky Locals |
Kill 10 Upiors during one expedition. |
Hunt areas populated by Upiors and keep clearing them until you reach the total. Don’t extract too early. |
|
Purple Goes Faster |
Use 10 Energy Rods during one expedition. |
Stockpile Energy Rods before setting out and use them throughout the expedition whenever possible. |
|
Quantity Over Quality |
Fire 1,000 shots during one expedition. |
Bring weapons with plentiful ammunition or high-capacity magazines. Automatic weapons make this achievement much faster. |
|
Sink Into the Sands |
Destroy your first trampler. |
Defeat any enemy trampler by reducing its durability to zero. This will likely happen naturally as you play. |
|
Teg Tou Fo Yam Sauh! |
Die to the Leviathan. |
Find the Leviathan and allow it to kill you. This hidden achievement is unlocked immediately upon death. |
|
The Art of CQC |
Kill three players with melee attacks during one expedition. |
Weaken enemies with firearms first, then finish them using melee attacks. Downed or distracted opponents are much easier targets. |
|
The Last of Them |
Kill 50 Upiors during one expedition. |
A tougher version of Pesky Locals. Spend the expedition farming Upior-heavy locations (PvE) and avoid extracting until you’ve reached the goal. |
