Confirmed total: the official Steam store lists 53 achievements. A PlayStation-focused trophy listing also reports 53 PS5 trophies. Exact hidden requirements should be checked on your platform before committing a run.
Spoiler-light completion roadmap
The safest way to plan completion is by system, not by reading every secret title before playing.
| Group | What to track | When to review it |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign and difficulty | Story completion and difficulty-dependent goals | Before starting a new campaign |
| Mission progress | Major milestones and objective-specific results | Before choosing the next Tactical Mission |
| Operator stories | Character-centered missions and authored companions | At the Den between deployments |
| Bonds | Pairings, shared deployments, and relationship progression | While building each squad |
| Combat feats | Weapon, ability, positioning, and multi-target challenges | During routine missions |
| Company building | Recruitment, customization, and roster development | Before advancing a Cycle |
| Progression and gear | Specializations, Talents, upgrades, and equipment | Whenever spending long-term resources |
Before your first run
- Choose the difficulty and permadeath rules you actually want to finish. Do not assume every setting can satisfy every difficulty-related requirement.
- Avoid exposing secret trophies if story surprises matter to you.
- Keep a simple note of Operator stories and Bond pairings you have already progressed.
- Rotate combat tools naturally instead of trying to force every feat in the opening missions.
- Recheck the platform list before the final campaign commitment; names and hidden-status behavior may differ by platform.
The highest-risk completion areas
Difficulty and campaign rules
Difficulty goals can require a separate plan, while optional permadeath changes the cost of mistakes. Read difficulty and permadeath explained before treating a campaign as a completion run.
Operator stories and Bonds
Character-centered content depends on who joins the company and how relationships develop. A squad that is tactically strong but never changes may leave other Operator and Bond paths untouched. The Bond System guide explains the underlying relationship loop without listing story spoilers.
Combat feats
The achievement inventory includes goals associated with combat systems, squad roles, and gear. Learn the eight Specializations, then use the Weapon Class comparison to create natural opportunities. A feat inferred only from a trophy name is not presented here as a verified method.
Platform evidence and limitations
- Steam: the store page is the primary evidence for the 53-achievement total.
- PlayStation 5: the secondary trophy listing reports 53 items, but it was not fully retrievable by the research crawler. Follow its outbound listing for current names and secret flags.
- Unlock instructions: this guide does not invent triggers, save tricks, or missable warnings that were not independently verified.
This page is deliberately a roadmap rather than a copied 53-row table. It gives you a clean completion structure while leaving changing platform metadata with the platform-oriented listings that maintain it.
