On Behalf of Everybody, Please Never Make These Achievements Again

It was a fun little experiment, "Hey look guys we remade the map nobody liked, please play on it"

This is not fun, this is not enjoyable. This is just a pure grind.

You do not have to include 6-7 achievements with every DLC update. If you don't have any good ones then please, I speak for everybody who actually likes getting these, do not put any in.


These types of achievements are not fun, they don't challenge players in any way, they are boring, they are grindy. Let's nip this in the bud right here and make this the last of these types of achievements, because I speak for everybody when I say that they are unwanted.

    Then don’t do them.

    Since the escape rates in theory should be less than 50% and there are 4 survivors, the chances of getting a single achievement action are pretty slim. Solo Q. Let's pretend it's like 25% at max. That means, to get the full achievement you have to play at least 80 matches on the RPD map.

    I get grindy challenges, but this one is a joke.

    You also have to personally open the gates - no hatch, and even in a 4E, only two survivors can potentially get progress.

    It's not too bad while RPD has boosted pick rates, but with the map's old rates? This is Taking One For The Team tier, if not worse.

    Honestly it's not too bad compared to like, Left for Dead (As the last person still alive, activate the last generator and escape through the exit gates.) and Item of Obsession (In a public match, as the killer's obsession, escape as the last survivor without getting hit.)

    Atleast Left for Dead was one that you could get done in one match. Sure it was heavily luck based, but you could make a build around it and escape with ease.

    Same goes for Item of Obsession, except you need a bit less luck for that.

    That achievement was easy at one point though. It became nearly impossible because of the many updates the game has had over the years.


    This though... someone came up with this achievement and it got green lit all the way to production. Left for Dead gets a pass, we're 6+ years into development of this game, this achievement is unacceptable

    The issue with Left For Dead is that it doesn't fit modern DBD's game flow. You're not meant to complete generators as the last survivor, and if you try, hatch closure can stop you - if not, actually popping the gen tells the killer where you are, which makes escaping out the gates much trickier. It's also fairly rare to even get the circumstances where the achievement is possible. Took me 2500 hours to get that one, and like most people, it was with a killer that more or less let me escape.

    Item of Obsession is pretty stupid and encourages terrible gameplay, but AFK or memeing killers are frequent enough where it's not an impossibility to get it without trying.

    Oh god I didn't even see this one.

    Escaping is one thing - Specifically being the one to open the exit gates? Yeah okay sure - Doing it more than 5 times turns it into an unnecessary achievement grind.

    Left for Dead certainly is harder after the hatch rework, but after I set up a build for it I got it within a day. Requires a lot of luck but still better than this RPD achievement imo.

    I made this discussion on August 31st 2022 complaining about how stupid and tedious this achievement was.


    Today is October 9th 2022, and I finally have the achievement.


    After over a month of farming, begging and RNG praying that I get the map, I finally have the achievement and 100% again


    For the love of god BHVR, NEVER DO THIS AGAIN PLEASE, THIS IS UNIRONICALLY THE GRINDYEST ACHIEVEMENT YOU'VE EVER PUT INTO THE GAME

    I really hope they reduce the numbers on this one, but they won't.

    Didn't even know this was an achievement, god this is going to be unfun to get...

    I legit burned through every RPD offering I had saved up and resorted to begging for people pre-game lobby to bring one.

    At best after 20 tries you get an achievement.

    At worst, well... Welcome to the grind.
