Tips for Completing All Achievements

If you’re aiming for 100% completion, I recommend working through achievements in groups instead of trying to unlock them randomly.

Here are a few things to prioritise:

  • Rescue characters early: Complete the rescue scenarios across both universes while progressing through the character roster.
  • Collect Paint Pots: Work towards Redemption Arc, Vampire Survivor, Crypt-Breaker, Shadowblade, and Parade Ready together.
  • Unlock relics: Collect important relics such as The Emperor’s Tarot, Celestial Orrery, Auspex, and Arcanoscope.
  • Work on weapon evolutions: Evolve weapons during normal runs and try to keep six evolved weapons active for Glorious Pixel Vomit.
  • Visit merchants: Purchase the required Trade Agreements with Brokk Grungsson and Drekki Flynt across all stages.
  • Track boss defeats: Keep defeating the named bosses and enemies as you unlock more stages.
  • Complete Purity Mode challenges: Save the Extremis Boss achievements for runs where you can comfortably defeat stronger enemies.

Warhammer Survivors has 51 achievements, and completing all of them requires plenty of exploration across both universes. Some achievements can be unlocked naturally as you play, while others require specific Paint Pots, relics, character rescues, weapon evolutions, and boss fights.

I recommend focusing on the collectibles and rescue missions first, as they also help unlock other parts of the game. Once you’ve completed those, you can work towards the remaining boss and special game mode achievements to reach 100% completion.
