Clearing the grindy achievements in Deserts of Kharak

By notthisagain

Despite being an underrated game, Deserts of Kharak does have some really grindy achievements. This guide outlines how to speedup the artifact/win achievements.

Requirements: these strategies require the Gameplay Extensions Mod v1.4.4.1 [github.com]

Main Strategy

You should run games under

Multiplayer > Public Games List > Create Game > Private

You can pick any AI level since these patches overpower your units.

Install the Gameplay Extensions mod[github.com] by AGameAnx[github.com] (you only need it do it once).
Copy the relevant file data into the "patch.json" file. Which file data you install will depend on the faction you want to play as (you can only boost one faction at a time). Since some factions share statistical data, make sure that if you pick Colaition or Sabon, you only battle Khaneep or Gallsien (and viceversa).
The patch will speedup your baserunner (for easier artifact collecting), highly increase speed and damage of the sandskimmer and LAV (depending on the faction).
After you have completed a game, rewatch the replay. The achievement counter should increase with each replay.

List of Faction Patches

Patches should be installed in:

Deserts of Kharak > Data > patch.json

To install a patch, copy the contents of the relevant file into "patch.json" (only one patch can be applied at a time).

Thanks to Kolgerlar for coming up with the replay strategy.
Million thanks to AGameAnx and his contributors for the wonderful GE Mod. Patch injection would not be possible without it.

How did you get the ranked match achievements? Is there some trick to it, or will I need 5 people to clear this hurdle?

Glad it was helpful to someone else!

Thank you very much for this. It was still grindy as hell, but took a lot less time than actually playing it.

Seriously? The achievement counter working with replays? So, basically, you can play once in each mode and with each faction?
