Easiest Achievements You Will Unlock Naturally

A big chunk of achievements come from just playing normally.

You’ll unlock things like your first night survival, early kills, and your first upgrades without trying. Even stuff like reaching 100 kills or unlocking the jetpack happens pretty early if you’re progressing normally.

The only thing to watch for here is Untouchable. That one depends on your defense setup, and if your turret reload speed is slow, your base can take chip damage without you realizing it.

Achievements You Can Miss Or Delay Easily

Some achievements won’t happen unless you actually go out of your way.

Collector is one of the biggest. You need all 3 artifacts in a single run, which means you have to fully explore underground areas instead of just digging for resources.

Human's Best Friend is another one players can miss. If your dog gets abducted and you don’t go rescue it, you won’t get it.

Pizza Lover and Plushie also fall into this category. These are tied to hidden collectibles, so if you aren’t checking side paths and bunker areas, you can finish a run without ever completing them.

Grind Achievements That Take Time

These are the ones that come down to how long you play.

• Enemy kills scale up to 5,000

• Metal collection goes up to 10,000

• Gold requires 1,000 total

• Diamonds require 100

You don’t rush these. They happen over time, especially if you’re digging deeper and staying alive longer.

If you’re farming, the easiest way is to focus on longer runs with strong defenses instead of restarting often.

Weird Or Hidden Achievements

A few achievements exist just for messing around or interacting with systems in unusual ways.

Russian Roulette is a good example. You have to eat a Jar of Pickles and get poisoned. That’s something most players won’t do unless they try it.

Safety Regulations is another one where you need to die to your own dynamite, which obviously isn’t something you’d normally aim for.

Golden Shower falls into the same category. It’s tied to a specific interaction, and you’ll only get it if you experiment with the game’s more unusual mechanics.

Final Blurb

The Spotter Dig or Die achievements are mostly tied to progression and exploration, but the full list pushes you to interact with everything the game offers.

If you just play normally, you’ll unlock a large portion without thinking about it. The rest come from digging deeper, exploring side content, and occasionally doing something a little stupid on purpose.

Once your upgrades are solid and your runs last longer, most of the harder achievements start unlocking naturally.
