What counts for the "every" achievements
Steam's descriptions say "every" without saying how many. The game files set these:
- Globetrotter: three biomes: Grassland, Desert and Winterland. Reaching the Winterland also unlocks Winter Is Here.
- Storm Chaser: three kinds of weather: a thunderstorm, a blizzard and a sandstorm. You need all three, in any order.
- Fleet Owner: five vehicles, each counted when you take its driver's seat: the Hippie Van, the C-Class RV, the Retro RV, the School Bus and the Motorcycle. Taking the Motorcycle's seat also unlocks Easy Rider. Where each one turns up is on our vehicles list.
- Fully Kitted: three vehicle upgrades, one per blueprint: the Roof Rack, the Ladder and the Motorcycle Holder. The first one unlocks Blueprint Reader.
- Greatest Hits: 13 soundtrack cassettes, each played in a radio. The first one unlocks Mixtape.
Two more have a catch the descriptions leave out:
- Home Cooking and Road Chef: a meal counts when food on the heat reaches well cooked. Burnt food does not count, and the cooking has to happen within about 25 m of you.
- Road Ready: fill every part slot on one vehicle, except the generator slot and the tow knob, which the game leaves out.
The three survival-day achievements count the days in a single world, so starting a new world starts that count again. The other counters, such as 25 repairs or 50 photos, are Steam stats on your account, so they should carry over between worlds.
Nomad Drive co-op achievements
Six achievements need other players. Four check the size of the session:
- Hitchhiker: join someone else's game.
- Convoy Leader: host a game and have at least one friend join it.
- Full House: play a session with 4 players, the most a game can hold.
- Chicken Coop (hidden): every player goes down at once. The game only counts it with at least 2 players.
The other two, No Chicken Left Behind and Field Medic, ask you to revive a teammate once and ten times. How hosting and joining work is in our Nomad Drive multiplayer guide.
What turns achievements off
The game has a developer console. In the game files, running a console command switches achievements off for the rest of that game, and the console prints "Achievements are off for this session" with the command's name. Commands that only show information or change display, audio, language or network settings are allowed.
In co-op, one player running such a command switches achievements off for everyone in the game, not only for that player.
Version notes and limits
- Not tested in play: the counts, player numbers and console rule come from the game's files and code.
- Unconfirmed: how the developer console opens in Early Access, and the names of the 13 soundtrack cassettes.
- Refresh trigger: we recheck this page when a patch changes the Steam list or the game's achievement data.
