S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

In the "Bullseye" side-mission given by Beard in Shevchenko (Zaton region).

Get to the bandit camp and stay peaceful - you can choose to participate in their show to shoot the apples.

Note you don't have to experience them all at the same time!

Also sleep (or rather, lack of...) is the hardest to get - so focus on this and avoid sleeping at all.

Was glitched until patch 1.1, released 19th Dec 2024.

Kill enemies by blowing up stuff around them; explosive barrels and such. This can be hard to do as explosions don't really do too much damage.

Take every opportunity you can through the game, especially where enemies are bunched up close together - and where you can damage them first so they're more likely to die from the blast.

Note this has to be a human enemy - zombies (which are technically already dead) don't count.

You can throw the grenade yourself for this and it still counts - so try throwing straight up into the air and shooting with an automatic rifle or a shotgun.

Just headshots. Standard stuff. Aim for the head. Do it a lot. You know what to do. :)

Collect/earn any and all coupons you can, and spend them with the traders. You'll want to spend a lot on upgrading your gear for Pump it up anyway.

There are seven unique arch-artifacts which can only be found in arch-anomalies. See the linked map for their locations; hit 'Hide all' then show "Arch Anomaly" under the Locations heading.

Note the Wandering Lights spawns only at night.

Upgrade any weapon. Can be done easily at the technician in Zalissya early on.

There are flash drives in various stashes around the map. Clear every one you come across and mark them off in the linked map. Note the full list is not yet known - the map (and a checklist here) will be updated as soon as it is.

Get this naturally by enjoying stealth (knife kills from behind are probably easiest). Or it can be save scummed; save behind a single enemy, kill, reload, rinse & repeat.

This can be achieved very early on in the Zalissya Bar - some stalkers are outside sitting around a campfire. Just sit down next to them...

This will often happen by accident, and can happen quite early on (before even reaching Zalissya). Mutants will follow you when aggro'd, just get them to stupidly walk into an anomaly. Note kills this way don't count toward "Zone's deadliest predator".

Headshot, without aiming. This will be a bit hard because of the spread in most of the guns. Pick a slow moving enemy.

You can use the mini-map to mark the location so you can check the distance.

These are the tornado-looking anomalies, which can be found all over the world. A handy place early-on which you'll probably find naturally through following the story is North-East of Zalissya in front of the "Radiation Hazard Signs Storage" on the path.

There are enemies in the building nearby - kill them and grab a body. Bring it to the anomaly, use your bolt to trigger it and then as it starts to finish drop the body in it. Job done :)

During the story mission "Dark Times" you'll be contacted by someone asking for help - accept this to start the "In the name of science" side mission. Make sure to complete this.

Later in the story you'll then be invited to the tunnel - make sure to choose to end the experiments.

During the story mission "Once more unto the breach", choose to accept Faust's help.

Very easy at any point; both bread and sausages are common loot all over the place; just eat one, then the other immediately after. Either way round is fine. You can check this off very early in the game as soon as you've picked up one of each.

This is in "a" camp, not "the" camp - i.e. any bandit camp should do. Reported success with one called "Sphere".

Be stealthy, or use enough range that they can't detect/find you before they're all dead.

In a single battle just kill four enemies with four different weapons. Clearly you need to have four different useful weapons first to attempt this, and re-equip mid-battle!

This can be achieved without much effort through normal play - you'll come across various squads in the world; let them battle each other and then kill the winning team. See the video though for one particular place in the Warlock Debtors side mission where this can be reliably gotten.

Apply all available upgrades to a weapon. This can be done at any technician... ...provided you have the coupons.

You'll want to be scavenging as many coupons as possible anyway, and upgrading your gear for better survivabillity - and spending on weapon upgrades also counts towards Coupons to burn

The Chimera is a rare spawn only in certain locations - see the linked map and search for Chimera. The Chimera is fast, can jump a long way, and can knock you down easily. Bring an energy drink. As soon as you spot one, run away as fast as you can and the achievement should pop once you've escaped.

NB its possible (not confirmed yet) that taking damage can invalidate the achievement - try not to get hurt!

In "The Side Hastle" side-mission given by the technician at Icarus in the Zaton region, go to the warehouse but don't enter it. Instead go to the farthest away open train cart and push one of the nearby crates to the window so you can jump and reach the parts case from the outside - or just shoot the explosives behind the container and the parts will fall out.

You have to let a piece of equipment break. This can be a weapon (by firing it), or armor (by damaging it, e.g. by repeatedly walking into anomalies and healing yourself afterwards).

Just explore everywhere - this will largely come naturally through regular play. See the linked map for a full map to cross-reference vs where you've been (filter for "Location" points).

Was glitched until patch 1.1, released 19th Dec 2024.

In the Zaton region, complete quests for Sultan and Beard, then accept the "Three Captains" side quest from Sonya Kalyna.

Do *not* kill the targets - instead talk with them and then help defend agains the mercenaries. Talk with them again afterwards and the achievement is yours.

Do what it says on the tin. This is easiest in close quarters, e.g. a building with >=5 enemies in it.

This is quite easy; trading with vendors works in the same way as many games. Simply select some items to buy, and some items to sell, such that they amount to the same value and no coupons change hands when you confirm the deal. This can be done with one piece of ammo and one piece of equipment, for example.

During the story mission "A Needle in a Haystack" you must give the sensors to Zotov in Zalissya to enable the quest path that leads to this objective.

Later, in "Answers Come at a Price", when talking to Korshunov, tell him you want to talk to Chornozem to get him to delay a bandit camp assault. Then, go to where the captive bandit is being held and kill the guards outside (i.e. don't interrogate the bandit).

There are no known consequences (yet) for taking this path.

Probably one of the first achievements you'll get - after completing the intro mission. This can't be missed.

Complete the "No Honor Among Thieves" side-mission in the Garbage region and choose to spare Docent - this gives you the coordinates to a stash witht the unique weapon in it.

Note: kills in the prologue don't count. Neither does anything during cutscenes. For the Chimera, see also Run, stalker, run!
