Achievement Guide

[Nipplepwner]

Welcome to my first Achievement Guide! (a Nipplepwner Original)

So, First off, this Games is pretty easy 1000G so i would say its difficulty is 3/10, and just because there r some achievos which will take some time.
Mainly u can divide the game in 2 types of games : Races and Dogfights (these are like deathmatches in normal shooters). In story there r also story related quests which are also worth some achievements. So, no more prequel, lets get it on

Sparrow 10
Complete the tutorial in story mode
*Story related, can´t be missed* Simply complete the Tutorial Mission

Hawk 20
Outfit a plane with all level 2 parts in story mode
See below at "Condor"

Condor 30
Outfit a plane with all level 3 parts in story mode
Simply go to the Garage once you unlocked Tier 2 and 3 Planeparts. Just go to the First Option when prompted to customization (when u use this u simply automaticaly use the corresponding parts for each Plane)

General 75
Earn a gold medal in 75% of all story missions
See below at "General of the Sky Heroes"

General Of The SkyHeroes 100
This one will come fairly easy. In each mission accesible through the campaign menu you can reach 3 Ranks : Bronze, Silver, Gold. Normally you will need to be first place or beat a certain time limit to achieve gold.
Sounds pretty tough, but it isnt since the A.I. is beatable and i myself ended up to get gold in my first run of the levels. Should u get silver (which happens sometimes on the dogfights) simply use the replay feature to get beter scores.
And if you want to replay em all later, simply go to Bootcamp in the journal, there you can pick previously played missions for replay.

Customizer 25
Unlock all customization parts in story mode
If you head for the "General of the SkyHeroes" achievement, this will also unlock, since you need to get everywhere gold to unlock everything-

If You Build It, You Can Play It 10
Assemble 5 planes in story mode where all parts are from the same aircraft type
Simply go to the garage, choose create new plane, click the first option (all corresponding parts are assembled automatically) and save the plane. Rinse, repeat 5 times.

Big Trouble In Little City 10

*Story related, can´t be missed*

Speedy Takedowns 15
Takedown 3 players in 10 seconds or less
See below at "Takedown Master"

0wn3d 15
Score 5 takedowns in a row without getting taken down yourself
See below at "Takedown Master"

Takedown Master 15
Score at least 12 takedowns in a single dogfight
Set up a quick match with the frost base and settings as follows : AI very easy, no guns, no rockets, double damage for power ups. Time settings as u like and player to max. Now head for the satellite dish where the satellite laser is suited on the top, collect it and shoot it. Now there should pop 3 achievements, if not, rinse repeat.

You Ain't Got Nothin' On Me 15
Complete a race or dogfight in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place without getting taken down once
As it states, simply win one of these either in story or multiplayer. I suggest to use the upper method for this one if u got any problems.

Resilient 15
Go from being below 10% health to 100% health without getting taken down
Well this should come pretty automatic, just get shot till u throw smoke out of the machine and after that, search for as much health as possible till u r healed to 100%

I Got ALL The Weapons I Need 20
All at once, have active 'Shield', 'Twin Options', and 'F-Beam' powerups
Self explanatory, just get shield (activate it), dual gun (activate it) and the green beam (activate it). Just be carefull, they got time limits, to be on the safe side, use the augmetors in garage for these.

You ARE Talented 20
Play at least 1 mission with every perk
Here´s an easy way to get this: Once u got all parts unlocked and all perks simply build 5 new planes and on each have 3 different perks on. Go to boot camp, choose first mission and complete it once with each plane. If u didnt get it through normal campaing playthrough, this way works to 100%.

Lemming Award 10
Crash your plane
Crash into the red mines placed all over the maps. Be sure ur health is low

[Nipplepwner]

I'm Fine, But Dizzy 15
Spend 20 minutes power turning
Power turning is when u press the "Y" button. The minutes stack, so dont worry, will come naturally.

I Feel The Need For Speed! 15
Spend 10 minutes at super boost speed
With these there are meant the speed boost gates in races or the red ones spoiled over the deathmatches. Also the power up does count to this one.

It's My First - Race 20

Self explanatory

It's My First - Dogfight 20
Earn a 1st place finish in a dogfight
Self explanatory

Stunt(ed) Growth 15

The stunts are performed through the right analog stick.

Dodgy 15
Dodge a total of 500 missiles
Doing stunts and power turns often evades rockets, so no worries, will come naturally

Property Damage 15
Destroy a total of 1000 breakables
The robots, helicopters, crates, etc. on the maps count towards this achievement.

Machine Gunner 15
Earn 50 takedowns using the 'Machine Gun' main weapon
The crucial part here is to get the last shot with the weapon, thats all, pretty self explanatory.

Earn 50 takedowns using the 'Missile' main weapon
These are the normal rockets which u always have. Self explanatory.

[Nipplepwner]

Explosive Device Master 15
Earn 25 takedowns from damage caused by destroying explosive breakables
This is possibly the toughest achievement. U have to kill an opponent with the floating mines around the maps. I suggest boosting for this since it will take ages to get it and i recommend the map chemical lab, it has 5 mines above a globe structure. In a weakened state, one shot is needed to down ur bud.

go Local Game in Mulitplayer and put on 2nd controller, put 20 mins - Time, AI Count - 0, Machine Gun - On, Missile - Off. Right now choose Chemical Map then when you ready in game start then have 2nd controller slowly bit far from mines and make sure toward it then go back your controller and move your pilot near mines move around it then when you see 2nd controller closer to mines then your 1st controller have start shooting mines when 2nd controller through closer mines so shooting it and blow it up, so raise and repeat 24 more times then you have achievement unlocked.
THx go to cheevo360 for this awesome idea


Supernova Defense Master 15
Destroy 50 locked-on missiles using the 'Supernova' powerup
Well, simply use supernova before a rocket hits u. Boostable, but also in story possible.

Hope this one helps everyone, regards, Nipple

[Hekkensn]

good job. the game is pretty easy.

Hey Nipplepwner nice achievement guide, here I like ask and I can confirmed you can go Local Game in Mulitplayer and put on 2nd controller, put 20 mins - Time, AI Count - 0, Machine Gun - On, Missile - Off. Right now choose Chemical Map then when you ready in game start then have 2nd controller slowly bit far from mines and make sure toward it then go back your controller and move your pilot near mines move around it then when you see 2nd controller closer to mines then your 1st controller have start shooting mines when 2nd controller through closer mines so shooting it and blow it up, so raise and repeat 24 more times then you have achievement unlocked. That how I got when I had few tried in single player free for all in dogfight so I give up this then I decide try in Local Game had 2nd controller and it is work for me

I will like you add it for that achievement if someone else have hard time with this achievement.

Yeah you welcome pal

[Cla55y]

So anyone have the twin options master achievement yet? I have well over 200 takedowns now with them and it has yet to pop......

EDIT: ok 2 controllers doesnt seem to work for this one. 39 takedowns into quickplay it unlocked

[Nipplepwner]

should work in quickplay best since u got options on time, enemies AI, etc. which makes it a lot easier and well, go for the options i described above for the 12 kills etc. should come naturally if u have a special look on which weapons u specifically use ^^ really not hard, if u need boost just PM me

[Nipplepwner]

sooo finally finished it 1000 G (jeah, real life is killing my gaming time ^^) so if u got any specific questions feel free to ask

[Minty]

Is there a roadmap? Estimated time to 1000?

[Tyger7]

Yeah, please use step 4 in the link below to write a roadmap! Should clear a lot of things up for people.

[Nipplepwner]

allready done, dont know what happens next though ^^

[Monstor]

Dude, this guide is terrible, don't make achievement guide for any achievements say "Self Explanitory" For the machine gun achievement, which planes have the guns etc.

[Nipplepwner]

well, i wrote a roadmap as well, but the mods didnt post it in here yet ^^ the roadmap is way better and pretty much more in detail with exact "how-to" guides.. dont bitch about this one, its just a beta and as far as i can see, the only one..
feel free to write a better one if you think mine is terrible

This guide is good the weapons is right all planes have machine guns anyone that plays the game for 2 seconds in gets told this so dont bash a guide, as you don't have the game and cannot give input to if his method work or not

[Terrin]

my question is say I fail to get gold and I click retry do all my kills for those weapons carry over?

[ruffriddimz]

good guide dude,just started the game
cheers

From what I can tell your weapon kill counts are independent of your level status. So yes they would in a sense 'carry over'

[Marketman316]

i got this the other day seeing as its easy and when i was browsing through the achievements on dashboard i got a bit worried as some sounded quite difficult but so glad i checked the forums as this guide is great! well done sir!!

[Marketman316]

can you get the weapon based achievements on the races in multiplayer?

[Nipplepwner]

jep, u can get them in races as well since each kill with each weapon stacks AND carries over to each game mode EVEN if u restart a level if u want to grind em u also can simply replay the levels till u get them, but i suggest the uper method i wrote with multiplay preset i posted earlier ^^

cheers,
fine to hear that the guide is apreciated

was thinking specifically of the 50 mines kills being easier in races but didnt want to waste time, glad i havent been. its quite a good game, if it wasnt cheesy sims nonsense and realistic it could beat sonic racing as 360 best same console-multiplayer thanks man

[Marketman316]

sorry, me again lol. is there a trick to getting gold in the races easily? just seems a bit random and frustrating am persevering just replaying the races but its extremely tedious to get overkilled on the last section and not win

[Nipplepwner]

easiest way to achieve gold on races : try to be second all the time and dont get bashed too much (use shields frequently, will make ur life easier).. once u are in the final lap and in the middle of the course, kill of the leader and fly perfectly through each boost.. try to get shields all the time to avoid bein killed and the gold medal is a mater of seconds ^^

cheers

[skimaine]

any info on how long (how many hours) to 1000G?

[Nipplepwner]

i guess it was 10-12 hours ^^
hard to say since i didnt play it 12 hours straight (got work, a girlfriend, family, etc.. poison for frequent playing).. i guess if u rent it out somewhere and play it for 2 days u get the majority of all the achievos ^^

[niz3]

Are there any online-achievements in this game? Can't find any information on that.

[Nipplepwner]

u can do some online, but there arent any ^^
