Syndicate Achievement List

Syndicated (20)

Business Is War (50)
Complete all chapters which track difficulty, on hard difficulty
This may be a bit tricky but you just need to be careful. As you play along, get upgrades for your health and damage mitigation. These will help prolong your survival. You should also make use of your apps whenever appropriate. For example, you can use Persuade when enemies overwhelm you or Suicide when enemies are clustered around you.

All Aboard (20)

This is simple enough and you should not have any problems playing on normal mode. If you want to finish faster, you can employ your DART overlay and breach applications at every opportunity.

Campaign: La Ballena (20)
Complete chapters 10 and 11 on normal or hard difficulty

Check out the other Campaign achievement summaries to see how to get this achievement. You should be seeing a pattern here by now!

Welcome to EuroCorp (5)

This is unmissable. Wake Up Call refers to the first level, and it should be easy enough. The moment you finish the first level, the achievement will unlock.

See No Evil (30)
Defeat Kris without making him visible using EMP or DART Overlay, on normal or hard difficulty
You will get this in Chapter 15. Kris will cloak before the fight and remain that way. If you are not using EMP or DART, you will have to look for the light bending around him in order to see him. If you are having trouble seeing him, keep still and follow the direction of his footsteps. There is plenty of Razorback ammo on the shelves around the room that you can use.

Revival Meeting (30)
Defeat the final boss without allowing any agent to be revived, on normal or hard difficulty
You will get this in Chapter 20. First, make sure that both of the twins are down to critical health and then attack the main boss above until he staggers so that he cannot interfere with your attempt. Take down the twins close to each other and quickly execute them.

Missile Command (30)
Breach an entire barrage of five missiles in the Ramon boss fight, on normal or hard difficulty
You will get this in Chapter 11. Ramon will drop an EMP grenade and then launch a barrage. Consider yourself warned when his SWARM laser turns blue. Quickly stomp the EMP grenade at Ramon’s feet and then run in the direction opposite to him. The moment he fires his barrage, mash the DART overlay on and you will breach all five missiles.

Top Marks (15)
Achieve a perfect result in all the Tutorial challenges
There is one tutorial for each of the three breach applications. The instructions to follow are straight forward. The only one that might trouble you a bit is Persuade. Use Persuade on enemies positioned on higher ground, and go for a headshot with your pistol for enemies on the ground. If you fail any tutorial, you can use Chapter select to retry it.

Golden Handshake (5)
Achieve CEO ranking on any level
To help you rank up fast, go for headshots, rampages, completion time, accuracy and spike breaches. Breach spikes and headshots are especially good for boosting your score, and you get away with taking extra time this way.

Little Black Book (30)
Find all business cards (unlock all the business card infobank entries)
There are 30 business cards in total in the whole game and most of them are easy to find. Only a few are hidden where you may have to search harder. Here is a video to help you find all the card locations. Direct Link.

Wetware Integrity Policy (20)
Don't kill any EuroCorp civilians with the minigun in chapter 8
You will get this in chapter 8, soon after you kill a reactive armor and take his minigun. There will be a bunch of civilians runnin out at the beginning, and plenty more from a door on the right as you make your way up. Just take it easy, and don’t use the minigun. If need be, melee everyone. Here is a video to help you out. Direct Link.

Gaggle of Guidance (5)
Use the Swarm's multi-target lock-on firing mode to kill 3 UAV drones with one volley
You can get this soon after acquiring the SWARM for the first time. Drones will be pouring out of the contraptions soon after you pick it up. Breach the shields of three drones and then lock onto each of the three. Fire to destroy all three in one volley.

Augmented Reality (15)
Kill 3 specters in chapter 14 without using EMP effects on them, on normal or hard difficulty
Specters refer to the cloaked guys. You will find a few of them in the level near a bunch of EMP mines. Watch their movements carefully and shoot at them without hitting any of the mines, or using EMP grenades. There are about 10 specters so getting three for this achievement should not be a problem.

Cover Lover (10)
Make it past the conveyor belt without taking any damage from the turret
When playing single-player, the conveyor belt level is on chapter 15. Once the level starts and you exit the vent, do not move. There is a turret to your right that you have to avoid. Kill the enemy directly in front of you and then peek out a little until you see the conveyor belt controls that you have to override. This will move along a box that you have to hide behind as cover from the turret. There will be enemies for you to kill on your way up and down, and once you reach the second room, shut off the turret and the achievement will unlock. Here is a video to help you out. Direct Link.

Make Them Watch (30)
Kill Agent Crane before you kill his two sidekicks, on normal or hard difficulty
You will get this in Chapter 18 of the single-player campaign. After you drop down from the vent, there will be a cutscene and then you will find yourself in a boss fight. Use the pillars and dodge around the sidekicks to stay alive. Do not use persuade on them, as they may kill each other or time might run out and cause the persuaded sidekick to commit suicide. Kill Agent Crane first and extract his chip and the achievement will unlock.

Ambassador of Peace (15)
Kill enemy soldiers of two different syndicates fast enough to receive a rampage energy bonus
You will get this easily in chapter 19. Find an area where black soldiers are fighting against white soldiers. You can do this the moment you step outside through the door. Kill soldiers from both sides quickly enough for your rampage bonus to go off and unlock the achievement.

Mastermind (5)
Unlock the Datacore in the minimum number of breaches
At the end of chapter 19, you will come across a big, round door surrounded by lights. Use overlay to breach one side, and then the other. This should be enough to open the door and unlock the achievement. Here is a video to help you out. Direct Link.

Linked In (5)
Obtain a health bonus from network connection links from your upgrade choices (single player only)
You can access the agent chip upgrade menu by hitting the back button on your controller. Pick any two upgrades that are side by side to link them. It doesn’t matter which two upgrades you pick, as long as they connect to one another.

With Friends Like These (15)
Kill an enemy from the explosion of a reactive armor unit
You can get this achievement on chapter 8. When you reach this point, there will be a cutscene showing a big, white armored guy holding a minigun. Breach his armor and shoot down his health. Do the same a second time. After that, lure him next to a lackey and breach him the third and final time. His explosion should take down the lackey and unlock the achievement. Here is a video to help you out. Direct Link.

Deny Everything (30)
Find all propaganda tags (unlock all propaganda tag infobank entries)
There are a total of 60 pieces of propaganda in the whole game. You can only see them when you are using DART overlay. The propaganda tags are in the form of posters, graffiti, symbols and text. They are to be found on walls, shelves, near hobos etc.

Every Bullet Counts (30)
Defeat Tatsuo without restocking your ammunition from the UAVs, on normal or hard difficulty
You will get this at the end of chapter 4. During this fight, use your overlay to shoot at Tatsuo and avoid him whenever you need to let your overlay recharge. Do not restock your ammo from the floating UAVs during the fight. If you run out of ammo, just pick one of the guns lying around after being dropped by enemies. If you carefully time your shots and fire only during overlay, you will not even have to change guns.

Shocking (10)
Kill 3 or more enemies from the electricity discharge of a dying electro armor unit
The best place to get this is in chapter 19. Force the door open using [X But] and go to the outside area. When you notice the flashy lights appear towards the garage-like doors, stand in front of it with your gun ready. When the middle garage door opens, use your overlay and breach the blue-like man in the middle. Kill him instantly and his electric armor should discharge and kill the other guys with him. Here is a video to help you. Direct Link.

Greed is Good (35)
Achieve CEO ranking on all chapters which track difficulty, on hard difficulty
CEO ranking is marked at the end of every chapter during the chapter summary screen. There are several things that add to your grade for CEO ranking. Make sure you score highly in accuracy, especially the headshots, and in breach spikes. You can also boost up your score using rampage.

Shield Breaker (10)
Successfully sprint tackle 25 riot shield units
In addition to using sprint tackle, you can also use a riot lance or electron mace on shield users in co-op as you will still get the achievement. However, the co-op shields cannot be tackled. Reaching the number required to unlock the achievement should not be hard.

Initiation Complete (10)
Complete all Co-Op maps on any difficulty
There are 9 co-op maps in total and they are quite easy on Normal, even with randoms. You get to start with Western Europe, and with each map you complete, you unlock the next one. Finish all 9 and the achievement will unlock.

High Value Asset (25)
Complete all Co-Op maps on expert difficulty
This will be a little hard on Expert difficulty. The enemies here are tougher and cause more damage. Their weapons hit harder, and all of the spawns are overhauled. You should be especially careful about guarding UGVs and agent battles.

Initial Public Offering (10)
Be a member of a Syndicate consisting of at least 4 people
A syndicate refers to a ‘clan’ in the game. You can join any syndicate that already has four members, or you can be the fourth member, and you will get the achievement easily. The members of the syndicate will also get the achievement in the process.

Hostile Takeover (10)
Defeat an enemy agent squad
An ‘agent squad’ comprises four agents. You will meet them at the end of Atlantic Accelerator, Scandinavia and New England. If you are playing in order, Atlantic is the first level in the line of progression. After you kill all the members of an agent-squad, the achievement will pop at the end of the level.

Mace Ace (5)
Save a team member that is stunned by an electron mace
You will need a partner to get this achievement. When playing Scandinavia or Colorado, let a sergeant trap your partner with an electron mace and then kill the sergeant while your partner is stunned. The achievement will unlock after that.

Super Soldier (10)
Complete a mission without going down
This becomes easier as you level up solo, but will be much easier if you have team mates to heal you. Playing Western Europe on normal should be enough to get you this. If you are a low rank, proceed slowly and work with a partner who will be there to heal you. The achievement will pop when you finish the level.

Highly Adaptable (10)
Kill 4 enemies in 4 different ways within 1 minute
You must do this in co-op mode to unlock the achievement. Go to Western Europe and kill different enemies with your main weapon, pistol side arm, melee and grenade, all within one minute. The achievement will pop after the fourth kill.

Field Surgeon (10)
Heal 3 team members for at least 50% of their health within 1 minute
You can arrange this easily with a team of four in co-op. This is especially helpful for the harder difficulties. There is a squad heal app that should make this every easy. Just wait until your team members have less than 50% health then use it.

Oh no you don't! (10)
Complete 10 Contracts against members of your syndicate
First, you have to be in a syndicate if you are to get this. You get a contract against a player that is ahead of you in a challenge, and you complete the contract by exceeding them in that challenge. You should join a syndicate that has players with the same amount of progress as you so that you don’t have very high values to beat.

High Flyer (15)
Score a 2,000 points combo
Combos come from bonuses when you kill enemies. Each type of bonus (headshot, sergeant etc) will add you an extra multiplier to the combo. You can do this easily when in a group by taking Damage link and C2C pulse. With Damage link, you will get points every time an ally causes damages anywhere, while the C2C pulse will heal any damaged allies with in range, thus adding you points.

Employee of the month (10)
Complete a mission after earning a team savior score
You will be awarded “Team Savior” for reviving your team as the last man standing. Just let your team fall, revive them, and finish the level.

In the name of Science (5)
Finish your first research
You will complete research by using blueprint or application tokens on upgrades for weapons and apps. After using tokens, select the upgrade for active research. A small cog will be used to indicate the tech that you are researching. From the tech’s progress bar, you will be able to see the amount of experience needed to complete the research. The bar fills up behind the scenes as you play along, and you will be alerted once the research is complete.

Application Manager (20)
Do 10,000 points of damage and heal or block 10,000 points of damage using applications
You will eventually get this as you play along. Shield, C2C heal, group heal and e-drain will all earn you points for healing. E-drain will also earn you points for damage, together with backfire, virus and tentative damage.

Middle Management (50)
50% completion (level, research and challenges)
You will get this when you are half way through the game. You must complete levels 1 to 10, and do half of all the research and challenges. You also need to have upgraded your weapons and apps more than half the total number of upgrades.

CEO (100)
100% completion (level, research and challenges)
This is the achievement you get for completing co-op. You need to complete all levels, research and challenges. There are 52 upgrades for apps and 86 for weapons. In total, you will have to make 5000 kills, including liquids and everything else.

The Professional (20)
Kill 50 enemies with all the weapons in the game
You can get the kills for most of the weapons in single-player, except for Electron Mace and Riot Lance. However, if you play online, co-op will be much better for getting the kills for all weapons very efficiently. You can do most of the kills in single player, and then finish up the reminder in co-op.

Hurt Locker (30)
Breach 873 grenades
If you breach a grenade, you will disarm it. You have to wait for an enemy to throw a grenade at you before you can do this. Just aim at the grenade and hold [LB But]. After it has been thrown, you will have around 5 seconds to disarm it and make it part of your weaponry. You can grind this on Kris in Chapter 15 when he is in the second stage, or on the final boss in chapter 20 after killing the twins.

Warpath (5)
Get the rampage bonus up to 5 sequential kills
You can get this easily in single- or multiplayer. In single-player, the first Aspari level towards the end is the best place to get this. In co-op mode, you will get numerous opportunities if you play on Normal by yourself. Alternatively, you can level up your character, fully upgrade the sniper rifle and use it on a group of people.

Make It Snappy (10)
Kill 50 enemies with melee executions
To perform a melee execution, you need to stand close to the enemy and click [RS But]. You can melee all of the lower class soldiers but not all of the enemy types. You can get this in single-player or co-op, or a mix of the two. The chip-rips in co-op count towards this achievement.

Nowhere To Hide (30)
Use a penetration weapon to kill 500 enemies through cover, while in DART Overlay
The weapons that count towards this achievement are the COIL’s secondary fire and the Kusanagi rifles in scope mode. Once you upgrade penetration on the weapons, they will shoot through moderately dense walls. The sniper is the better of the two loadout weapons as it does more damage, and with damage link, one shot will be enough.

Half-Millionaire (30)
Collect 500,000 energy
Energy in this game refers to adrenaline. You need it to power your applications and keep your DART vision filled. You will get this naturally as you play through the game, but it will come much faster if you are playing multi-player.

Hacker (30)
Use breach abilities 300 times
Only abilities are counted here, and not every situation in which you use your “breach” ability. For single-player, abilities include backfire, persuade and suicide. In multiplayer, any ability apart from the default “breach” ability is counted. You will get this as you play along.

Rampageous (15)
Do 250 rampage kills/kill streaks
Rampage refers to three or more kills in quick succession, and is counted if the deaths occur one after another and not all at the same time. You will get this easily with Damage link while using the sniper rifle with the assault scope, or an upgraded minigun.
