Deadzone Rogue Back to Basics Achievement Guide
The Back to Basics achievement in Deadzone Rogue, also called Buyer’s Remorse by players, can be tricky if you do not know the exact rules. Many people fail it because they use the wrong weapon or play in the wrong mode. This guide clears up the confusion and gives you a step by step way to unlock it.
How to Unlock Back to Basics
To unlock Back to Basics, you must complete a mission using only your starting pistol. You cannot use any other weapons, grenades, or the knife. The achievement will not trigger if you kill with anything other than the pistol.
Key Rules to Follow
Only use your starting pistol for the entire mission.
Do not use grenades, knife, or a picked up primary weapon.
Perks and pistol upgrades are allowed.
You can reroll perks, enhance stats, and still earn the achievement.
Skip picking up a primary weapon by waiting at the first door until it opens.
Best Mission to Complete It
The mission called Pinpoint is the easiest place to finish the achievement. It has weaker enemies that are simple to handle with only the pistol. This saves time and reduces frustration compared to later missions.
How to Deal with Shielded Enemies
Shield drones: kill the drone first to drop the shield.
Full body shield enemies: bait their swing, then shoot when they expose themselves.
Both types are manageable with the pistol, especially if you add upgrades.
Difficulty Choice
You can do this on any difficulty. The easiest setting is best since it keeps enemies weak and shortens the grind. With perks and pistol upgrades, runs can finish in about 10 to 15 minutes.
Final Blurb
Back to Basics in Deadzone Rogue is much simpler once you know the exact rules. Keep the pistol, avoid all other weapons, and lean on perks and upgrades to push through. Do it on Pinpoint for the easiest clear and the achievement will pop without issue.
