Atomfall

Unlock the Interchange - the underground tunnel hub that links the Quarantine Zone's regions. You open it as you follow the main story early on; a story-forced pop.

There are more than five in the game overall, so this should come naturally as you play through and explore - just talk to any friendly NPCs you come across throughout the map.

Note each NPC, including the traders, often have other useful information - so it is worth checking out all the conversation options to unlock more Leads to follow.

Power up Data Store Charlie - one of the Interchange's data stores. Restore its power and interact with the terminal to bring it online.

Power up Data Store Delta - another of the Interchange's data stores. Restore its power at the terminal as you work through the network.

After taking enough damage, robots will kneel down and start steaming as they overheat. This is the time to go behind them and interact with the Atomic Battery plugged into their back to take it out.

Note these are the same kind of Atomic Batteries as you need for the story, and can be used for the same purposes :)

NB you can put the battery back in again if you like for Batteries Not Included

Once you've got the metal detector (and unlocked Detectorist) then as you explore the map you'll see notifications in the bottom-right when your metal detector has detected something to dig. Use the onscreen instructions to use the metal detector to find the cache, after 10 regular caches the achievement will pop.

So long as you get the metal detector relatively early, and follow up on most of the pings you get whilst playing, this should be easy to unlock without any special effort during a regular playthrough.

Read 50 notes across the Quarantine Zone - the letters, documents and scraps scattered everywhere (they also feed you Leads). Read everything you come across and 50 racks up naturally over a playthrough.

Find the Signal Redirector - a gadget that opens certain signal-locked doors. It's tied to a lead in the story; once you have it, use it to unlock five doors for Burglar.

Exactly the same as for Where there's muck there's brass - but some of the things you dig up will be unique lunchboxes with a comic/cartoon image on the lid. Just keep going and you'll hit 5 soon enough - or hit up the interactive map to filter for locations.

Power up Data Store Bravo - one of the Interchange's data stores. Restore its power at the terminal to bring it online.

Power up Data Store Alpha - one of the Interchange's data stores. Restore its power at the terminal; this one can sit off the critical path, so seek it out as you explore the network.

Cause an enemy to drop their Molotov cocktail - hit or shoot an enemy who's winding up to throw a Molotov so they drop it (often setting themselves alight). Watch for the Molotov-throwers among the bandit groups.

Find and learn 10 recipes - crafting recipes found as notes and manuals around the world. Pick up and learn each one you come across; 10 accumulates over normal exploration.

Use the Signal Redirector (from Reverse the Polarity) to unlock 5 doors - the locked doors that show a signal-redirect prompt. Use it on five of them; they're common enough that this comes with normal exploration.

Learn 12 skills - spend skill points (earned from Training Stimulants, plus the relevant skill manuals) to learn 12 skills from the skill menu. Collect Training Stimulants as you explore to afford them.

Find 5 audio recordings - the tape/audio logs dotted around the Zone. Pick up five; a collectibles map helps if you're falling short.

Gain access to the Oberon site - the central mystery beneath the Quarantine Zone. You reach it as the main story converges; getting in is the gateway to most of the endings.

This is the simplest/easiest of the endings, and what to do is pretty self-explanatory once you get to the final areas.

Completely destroy a robot - don't just deactivate one, blow it apart. Keep pouring heavy damage into a robot (explosives work well) until it's fully destroyed rather than merely downed.

Loot, craft or trade for grenades - regular normal-looking frag grenades are fine - then look for a group of enemies close together.

There are a couple of ways to get enemies to bunch up; e.g. patrols often have 5+ enemies walking in a line, but when they stop and rest or change direction they'll often bunch up really close and a grenade in the middle will do the trick.

Alternatively, on your first exit out of the Interchange to Slatten Dale, there'll be a group of enemies in the tunnel close to the entrance. A grenade into this group - even if they've already spotted you - can also knock them all out in one go for this achievement.

One of Atomfall's six base endings - escape with Dr Holder by completing his plan. Mutually exclusive with the other endings, but the points of no return are late, so back up your save before the final choice to grab several in one playthrough.

This is easiest done in the village.

A pasty and a slice of cake can be bought from Iris in the bakery

Then in the Village Hall opposite there's a tea - note the tea looks like a big green metal tin of tea on one of the tables near the entrance (i.e. not a cup of tea). Alternatively you can barter with Alf in the pub for one.

Once you've got all three in your inventory you can consume them one after the other and the achievement will pop immediately.

This is a common revolver that can be found in loot in various places, but once you find it keep hold of it for this achievement.

Aim for headshots and take your time - they don't need to be consecutive kills, just consecutive shots from this weapon.

NB for more damage per shot, see Make do and mend and consider upgrading your revolver to max level first.

A base ending - escape with Joyce Tanner, whose plan uses Oberon as a distributed nuclear deterrent. Mutually exclusive; save-backup before the final choice to collect multiple endings in one run.

A base ending - escape with Captain Sims, the most drastic option: Oberon is destroyed and the whole Quarantine Zone is nuked. Mutually exclusive; back up your save before committing.

A base ending - escape with Mother Jago by descending into the pit and sacrificing yourself to the Voice in the Soil. Mutually exclusive; save-backup beforehand to see the others too.

After removing a battery to deactivate a robot for Unplugged, you can put it back in to unlock this achievement. Be ready to get shot at again though!

Open the sealed door inside the Midsummer Abbey crypt (Wicked Isle DLC) - a progression puzzle. Explore the abbey and find the mechanism or key that unseals it as you follow the island's leads.

Even though the game categorises grenades and molotovs as throwables, these don't count!

It has to be a regular melee weapon - like an axe, hatchet, sickle, etc - that you aim and throw at an enemy to kill them. You can aim and throw melee weapons in the same way you'd use a bow hold right-mouse/LT to aim, and then left-click/RT to throw.

Either get this naturally through regular play (it doesn't consume scarce ammo to kill this way!), or otherwise the easiest place to get this quickly is with the druids in Casterfell Woods - where it helps that many of them carry melee weapons you can grab to use again.

It also helps to carry multiple melee weapons at a time so you can keep going if you miss, don't kill on the first hit - or if there are multiple enemies.

A base ending - escape with Dr Garrow, one of the two endings that leave Oberon alive. Mutually exclusive with the others; back up your save before the final choice.

Find 10 comics - the collectible comic books hidden around the Quarantine Zone. Grab ten; filter an interactive map for their locations if you want to target them directly.

Reach Permission Level One in Test Site Moriah - progress into the facility far enough to gain its first permission tier (via its keycards and terminals). Follow the leads that take you there.

View 8 memories of the Midsummer monks - collectible memory sequences found around Midsummer Isle (Wicked Isle DLC). Interact with each memory point; a locations map helps you find all eight.

Redirect a thrown grenade with the cricket bat - when an enemy lobs a grenade at you, swing a cricket bat at the right moment to knock it back at them. Keep a cricket bat equipped and time the swing as the grenade arrives.

Escape the Quarantine Zone without ever answering a telephone - the ringing phones around the Zone are the Voice/Operator calling. Ignore every single one for a whole playthrough, then reach any ending. Very missable: a single answered call voids it, so do this on a dedicated run (see the game intro's two-playthrough plan).

Escape the Quarantine Zone in under 5 hours of in-game time. Beeline the story - grab only the key items you need and rush to an ending. Difficulty doesn't affect achievements, so run it on the easiest setting; a second, familiar playthrough is the natural time to do it.

Kill an Aquatic Feral in a fist fight - put your weapons away and beat one of the water-dwelling ferals to death with melee/fists only. Weaken it first if you must, but the finishing blows have to be unarmed.

Use an Explosive Lure on the Beekeeper's Swarm - craft or find an Explosive Lure, then deploy it against the Beekeeper's swarm of bees during that encounter to wipe them out.

One of Atomfall's endings - become an extracted brain awaiting escape to High Albion station. Follow the questline to the brain-extraction escape. Mutually exclusive per run, so back up your save before the final choice to see several endings.

A Wicked Isle DLC ending - escape by talking down the Angel, resolving the island's finale peacefully. Mutually exclusive with the other island endings (A Throne Fit For All Things, Seaworthy) - the Fallen Angel Fragment choice locks the others, so save-backup beforehand.

One of Atomfall's endings - deorbit High Albion, destroying everything in the Quarantine Zone and beyond. The most destructive finish; follow the questline to the deorbit option. Mutually exclusive with the other endings, so save-backup before committing.

Have a reprogrammed robot ally destroy 5 enemies - reprogram a robot so it fights for you, then let it land the killing blows on 5 enemies. Hang back and let your robot do the work.

Destroy 3 robots using a salvaged robot weapon - pick up a weapon dropped or salvaged from a robot and use it to destroy 3 more robots, turning their own firepower against them.

A Wicked Isle DLC ending - escape by joining the Angel, siding with it at the finale. Mutually exclusive with Mind Over Matter and Seaworthy (the Fallen Angel Fragment choice locks the others), so back up your save before choosing.

A Wicked Isle DLC ending - escape with Jean Hamer. Give Jean the Fallen Angel Fragment at her dock (east of the Lake Bandit Den) to trigger her escape. This choice locks out the other two island endings (Mind Over Matter, A Throne Fit For All Things), so back up your save first.

Get an Infection Sample, an Infected Honeycomb and a Druids' Tonic into your inventory, then consume all three within 10 seconds - the same trick as the base game's High Tea. Gather the three items first, then eat them back-to-back.

Kill a Contaminated human in a fist fight - holster your weapons and beat one of the Contaminated (infected) humans to death with melee/fists only.

Like the base game's Orna mental but on Midsummer Isle (the Wicked Isle DLC) - find and smash 15 garden gnomes scattered across the island. Spot them as you explore, or filter an interactive map for their locations.

Affect 6 enemies with Red Mist Bombs in a short space of time - Red Mist Bombs turn enemies against each other. Throw them into a tight group so at least 6 enemies are caught in the red mist together.

The same gnome-smashing hunt as Orna mental and Our Island Gnome, this time in Stafell Crag - find and destroy 10 garden gnomes around the area. Spot them as you explore or use a locations map.

Kill 3 enemies with your fists while the Red Strain Adaptation skill is active - activate the skill, then punch 3 enemies to death before it wears off. Line up weak enemies so you can finish quickly.
