It’s hard to find a crew these days, which can make some achievements tough to get. We’ve looked these over and identified some of the hardest ones, and we are granting a general amnesty and releasing all the achievements below for everyone.
Based on my unlock, there are 45 achievements mentioned on the list that unlocked, 2 that were not mentioned that unlocked anyway (Novice Graduation and Titans Fall 1), and 9 that were mentioned and did not unlock. The group of 9 are for specific maps, and it looks like you need to complete the prerequisites like Grit In Your Eye/Lost In The Fog, then they'll automatically unlock for free. (They're under the PVP section in the link, starting with "Hazardous Waste (#7)")
Anyway, the 47 achievements I unlocked were worth 3927 points with a combined ratio of about 8.36. Much like an achievement spam game, the only thing you have to do to get them is to launch the game. Right now, the only reason the ratio is so high is that Guns of Icarus is pretty much a dead game so nobody is launching it. (I wanted to get back into it so I went looking for a discord server where people are coordinating matches.)
Due to the change to be automatically unlocked like achievement spam, can this group of achievements be manually set to 10 points and a 1.00 ratio? Is it even possible to change
some but not all achievements in a game like that? And of course, should Guns of Icarus be modified that way?
It feels really cheap that I got a big score boost just from launching the game.
