Here's some help to get these buggy achievos ! (like in every dotEmu game)

1- It's not complete, i didn't unlock them all yet.
2- I know my english sucks.
3- I give tricks to "cheat" on some of them, keep in mind i had to unlock them first legit to get these lines in my save file, i simply share them, to avoid people headaches of restarting the game over and over.
4- If you have more tips/tricks, please share and i'll add them.

Before we start
First of all :

>If your achievements doesn't unlock
Go to "Appdata/Local/shocktr2" and erase everything. It fixed many achievements not popping even if i had already done what it takes to unlock em. Of course you will have to start again from scratch :/ .

>You can "cheat" by editing the values in the "UserDefault" file from that directory.
Example: you didn't unlock the 500 grenades achievement although you used 600+ , just put 499 instead and throw a grenade.

>Some lines in that file may be missing, they only pop in when you use certain item/characters, but ofc it seems bugued too !
Example: you didn't unlock the "Team" achievement although you played with all 4 characters, you may be missing the "character_3" line.

06/10 - Noob

// ...

07/10 - Call a friend
Complete the game in multiplayer (local or online)
// If you have no friends, just start a game in local coop, let the player 2 die until his continue is wasted, then let his timer run out. Play the game alone, then on the last boss, before you beat him, just press start and select a character with the player 2.

08/10 - Armed to the teeth
Use all the weapons
// I think there's only 4 weapons (Round, Fire, Missile, Boomerang), i don't know if the character's specific weapons and vehicules count for it.
// If it doesn't unlock, erase thencopy/paste this in "Userdefault", then use the "round" weapon wich can be obtained in the first stage
<Weapon_RoundShot>false</Weapon_RoundShot>
<Weapon_FireShot>true</Weapon_FireShot>
<Weapon_MissileShot>true</Weapon_MissileShot>
<Weapon_BoomerangShot>true</Weapon_BoomerangShot>


09/10 - Big One
Reach a score of 5,000,000 points
// The trick here is to do as much knife combos as possible, otherwise you won't be able to reach the 5kk goal.
Here's a video of a 11.862.860 score

10/10 - Super Gamer
Complete the game using less than 10 credits
// You can start the game in coop, then when you loose your 1st continue, let the time run out and your partner play the game alone. Before he kills the last boss, just press start and get back into the game, finish the boss (without loosing more than 7 credits ofc) and done ! . (if you try it, let me know if it works in local coop)

For Noob; select normal. Select the first character at the start of the game. You do not have to finish the game with this character. Die 40x on the first level. (I used a mid-boss for speed's sake). Finish the game and do not deviate from the default path. :smartsam:

@Louwas on another discussion someone said "super gamer" was swapped with "noob" achievement, you tried to unlock this one ? i'll edit the guide when i get the time
Louwas 4 Oct, 2022 @ 7:30pm 
Does the 'Super Gamer' only available in normal mode? I finished the game twice in easy mode with less than 10, and even erase the data. Still, not popping up.

Hey, rumbadebu's advice for "Big One" was great! I recorded a video to show how it works:

https://youtu.be/71hmdaqecu8

-For the second stage, choose the option on the right: the NAVAL BASE.

-Proceed until you find the third type of boat, the one that drops soldiers on the pier (not the boats that throw molotov coctails or shoot at you). If you miss them, they'll appear again.

-The 2nd player must stay at the bottom of the screen so the 1st player can move up while not scrolling past this area, until it's time for the 2nd player to die in order to reset the game timer before it runs out.

-Keep using knife combos. They are considerably faster than just shooting at the enemies.

-After you get 5,000,000 points, you have to die before the achievement triggers, as you can see in the video.

nkay, you can use the video and this information in your guide.

Nice guide. Super Gamer wont unlock by idling in local co-op.

Round Shot, Fire Shot, Missile Shot are obtained as drop from corresponding tanks. And all weapons can drop from officers, meele'ing them will increase the chances.

For "Big One" there are moments when game spawns enemies indefinitely. It's no use when you're playing solo since timer runs out way before 5mil score. But in co-op one player can grind for score while other one can die when timer starts to run out to reset it.
I've done mine in 2nd level (Harbor) where enemies constantly jumping from boat to piers.
