Bomber Crew achievement guide & roadmap

Steam 2 editions, view...

A good fun FTL-like with a cartoony WWII bomber. Pretty easy on the achievements; most you'll get naturally through your playthrough, and most of the rest are easy to deliberately get. The only two to watch out for - aside from keeping your whole crew alive for

Seven Survive Seven and

Tour Of Duty - are

Ace of Aces and

Qualified; concentrate on levelling up your crew and make sure to find and kill Aces whenever you see a mission with one available. Bear in mind you can grind out each campaign segment by repeating all the non-critical missions as much as you like, they randomly regenerate after each attempt (technically, each time you enter the hanger to select one, whether you fly or not...)

Qualified

Fully level up a crew member

4.2% Rare

Fully level up a crew member

Objective Missable No glitches

Remember they level up more slowly if a secondary skill is selected. Keep one member with no secondary so they level the primary more quickly (the XP is split between primary and secondary). Level 12 is maxxed. Level 4 for the secondary for Medic.

Grind Optional No glitches

Use 'focus' on all 4 gunner stations at once (Main Campaign)

Objective Optional No glitches

You'll need to have selected gunnery as a secondary skill for two people (bomber and mechanic maybe) - and level this up to 5 to get access to the Focus ability.

Grand Slam

Destroy a target using the Grand Slam bomb

3.4% Rare

Destroy a target using the Grand Slam bomb

Objective Missable No glitches

Available from the 6th campaign segment. Must be launched from High altitude - so get the thermals on your crew! NB can be done from Medium altitude just after selecting to go to High - but in this case aim a chunk *after* the target in the bombsight crosshair; maybe the diameter of a large base.

Ace of Aces

Defeat all Enemy Aces (in one campaign)

2.9% Rare

Defeat all Enemy Aces (in one campaign)

Grind Missable No glitches

There is one ace per campaign segment, so 8 in all. Ish. Make sure you get one in each segment - but if lucky you may get 2 in a segment (I got 2 in the 5th segment). They will be randomly present on the randomly generated missions in each segment. Keep grinding the missions until you get the ace. They will often take two attempts/missions to kill as they will usually escape the first time (assuming you're not hanging about in the mission!). Ofc aces are tough; upgrade stuff before attempting and don't be afraid to run away and try again later if you're getting battered.

Running On Fumes

Complete a mission and land at the airbase with less than 5% fuel remaining

2.7% Rare

Complete a mission and land at the airbase with less than 5% fuel remaining

Objective Optional No glitches

Its easy to do this at the end of the mission by instructing the pilot to land but leaving the gear up; he will circle round and round making landing attempts. When the fuel gauge nears the bottom of the red part lower the gear and you'll land pretty quick. Use the Boost option to consume fuel more quickly while circling. Also time acceleration.

The Bunker

2.1% Rare

Story Ummissable No glitches

Complete the campaign

Bail Out!

Bail out your entire crew

1.4% Rare

Bail out your entire crew

Objective Optional No glitches

you need parachutes for everyone for this - which means you will need around $10k to buy the equipment stations. Use the command on the Pilot to get the rest of the crew to bail, then take the pilot manually to a remaining parachute and then to one of the parachute icons to get him to bail too - the achievement will then pop pretty much immediately.

Skeleton Crew

Complete a mission and land at the airbase with 2 or fewer crew members surviving

0.9% Legendary

Complete a mission and land at the airbase with 2 or fewer crew members surviving

Objective Optional No glitches

Puit your crew naked (or clothing with minimal armour), and make your plane as tough as possible. Except the pilot and one other (navigator!). Or, put 5 people out on the wing with no parachute and do an emergency dive... Good luck... NB to avoid messing up your campaign progress, do this at the beginning of the campaign (first mission), or back up your saves first (C:\Users\%Username\AppData\LocalLow\Runner Duck\Bomber Crew)

Two hundred Targets

Destroy 200 enemy targets

0.4% Legendary

Destroy 200 enemy targets

Grind Optional No glitches

This will take a lot of grinding - even if you're repeatedly grinding the missions in each campaign segment to earn the cash for plane upgrades. Note that you can bomb any random enemy buildings to count against this - even the optional photo op recon objectives (if you're nimble you can get a photo and bomb it in one pass over!). If you bomb on a first pass and photo the wreckage on the 2nd pass you *will* still get the recon photo credit. Do this on every mission to help get there more quickly...
