"Outbreak Breakout" is a condenter for the worst designed achievment
For real, as the titel says, "Outbreak Breakout" is one of the worst designed achievments in the whole game, and thats something when you got contenders like "From the Void she kills".
Lets look at it "Open the exit gates and escape from Racoon City Police Department 20 times in public matches."
So for you to get some progress on this achievment you need to play on one of the two RPD maps; 2 maps out of 39 is a bit better then 19/20, so roughly 5%. In only 5% of your matches you actually get a shot at this ... that is unless you are burning an RPD offering, which has probably the highest rate of killers mysteriously experiencing connection problems during loadup.
Then you have to be one of the survivors who make it to the end of the match. My own survival rate is 43% now. I know that many soloQ survivors have some rates in the 30%s, while some SWF have it better. Lets be generous here and say the survival rate is 50%. So, in only 2.5% of the matches you make it to the end.
Then you need to be the one opening the exit gates! You can't have your buddy open the gates and then slip through the killers fingers, no, you must be the one pushing down the lever. You could manage to split up and be at the other gate, you could be lucky and always bully your way through, so lets be even more generous and say that you get to open the gates in 2/3s of the instances you make it to this point, and lets ignore any blood wardens and other shennanigans.
66% of 2.5% equals 1.65% So each time you queue up you have 1.65% chance to grind out one of twenty pips needed to get this achievment ... if we are generous. The numbers could easily go down as low as 1% or even below that. So at best you would need to play over 1200 matches to get this done if no offerings are used. I thought "The man behind the bush" was grindy af, but here you can at least expect to get 2-4 pips per match.
This is really rediculous. I know that we have an increased chance to be send to RPD, but that can't be the solution for people who don't play right now. I know that its very hard to change achievments once they are out there, as the playstation network only allows changes when you can't physically get them anymore due to gameplay mechanic changes, but oof. I know that grind means content, but this is definitely a step in the wrong direction.

I think it would be a lot better if they removed the "open the exit" part.
The "Man behind the bush" was OK, Evil Incarnate was bad but manageable when I did it 4 years ago (today its a pain) and "From the void she kills" is worse than ever because you need an ultra rare to do it and not some yellow addon as back in the day.

Just play the game normally, you will get it eventually.
I dont really understand why people want to play to get those Achievements. Especially because the reward for completing a game is almost non-existent.

Eh, it's completion sake. Seeing "100%" on steam page feels rewarding to some people.

Even when I burn an offering for this, someone will see it on the offering screen and mysteriously fail to connect to the game about 50% of the time, dragging this out even longer. It might be months of playing survivor non-stop all night long to get this one done.

These devs hate me and my 100% award for DBD, I'm convinced.

Just posted in "Bugs", I just got my first escape and no progress.
Stupid RPD.

Achievement progress, on Steam at least, doesn't update immediately. Try to restart the game and check your progress again, it should be showing +1 progress then.
Also note that escaping is not enough, you have to open a gate and THEN escape. As in, you yourself have to open a gate.

Yeah, I did put the whole story in my Bug post.
I did open gate and then escape... :(

It feels like devs hate people who bring them money. I should reconsider my future expenses on this. Oh, I already did, -no cells purchases anymore. Why should I support those who put qol feature (reassurance) behind a paywall and wastes my time.

In case anyone was curious about how this was going, I got about 6 survivor matches on RPD before it just stopped spawning for me at all in the normal map rotation, so I went to the 46 RPD offerings I had. After all those 52 games in solo queue survivor on RPD, I am at 18/20 on this achievement. I want to die. All the teammates I left behind just to secure progress on this achievement probably want me to die as well. Please, never, ever, make an achievement requiring this much progress and this many specific conditions on a single map/realm again.

I basically quit this game completely for a month because of how much I hate this achievement, but I'm back for the event and just burned 3 more RPD offerings that I got from my bloodwebs and immediately got camped and tunneled in all 3 games. Please reassign whoever created this achievement to literally any other job function at BHVR so they can't ever come up with something like this again.

Gosh ... I finally got it, and it was every bit as unfun, sweaty and frustrating as I predicted. Took me less then 1000 matches, but peeps are just playing a lot of RPD badges ... I wonder why?
Please BHVR, NEVER! AGAIN! SUCH! A! ACHIEVMENT!
Thanks.
Luv ya <3

From the Void She Kills is ridiculously hard to do. At least, Outbreak Breakout is just grindy. So is The Man Behind the Bush. From the Void She Kills requires you to use Torn Bookmark, AND get lucky enough to get a grab on a clueless enough survivor that didn't run as soon as he heard nurse teleporting close to him.

Thats true, but you can easily do it via farming. Not gonna lie, if I had to do it the regular way, the honest way, this would be a no-no for me and basically impossible to do, but as things stand I finished From the Void She Kills on my first try; turned out that survivors would gladly farm with a Nurse, instead of versing her :P If they had known how bad my Nurse game is they might have reconsidered, but I didn't object :P

ye farming is for some challenges really the only possible way XD I had a simillar experience just yesterday, however, a more skillfull player wouldve gotten it with ease. Its one of the older tomes, but a regular challenge, basicly "blind the killer 1 time or "burn" him" like the burn mechanic from wraith and nurse. However, im very inexperienced with flashlights and the timing for saves, well. I dont play enough survivor in order to get good at flashlight saves, hence why i decided to just try to do it the cheap way, blinding the killer when he breaks the pallet and crossing fingers he doesnt have lightborn.
I was really about just trying and playing, not trying to get the killer to farm pallets with me, but then a dwight in my team cheated (teleporting around) after a over altruistic 2-man swf got sacrificed early on. I decided to try to farm with the wesker because i wasnt going to take advantage of cheating, it litteraly drowned my own spirit to play aswell, even though this time i wasnt in the killers boots.
So i still got the challenge done and wesker and me had a chat about reporting that guy, which we did. He even had recorded the match, sadly i didnt as he teleported right at me but still, we both made sure to get them possibly banned. It was a win win, wesker had mutch points and i had my challenge, so you can say that was the first time something positive was coming out of someone cheating XD

This achievement/trophy is so bad. This game has over 40+ maps.
I’ve gone over a week without seeing an RPD map or even an offering!
i don’t know what to do anymore :(

Level up your bloodweb and get some RPD offerings and then use them.

Just throw on RPD offerings, I've already got 30 stacked on 1 character alone.. It's really not that serious
0 -
I’ve prestiged 3 characters since I last got an rpd offering. Not sure what kind of luck you guys have but clearly mine is not the same.

Hemophobia is one I hate more, realistically the only way to get it done is if the Killer is just really bad or AFK, no other way.

It's nice to unlock an achievement and see a really low % rate. I know some players don't care for these things but part of me enjoys having unlocked some super low % achievement, it feels rare and special like I can say "oh only a hundred players have this". I have used all my RPD offerings already. ☺️

as someone that maintains having 100% of the achievements done, that was extremely tough to do when it came out, especially since the endless Tunnel Season started right when Wesker came out making tunneling basekit playstyle for 90% of killers. not even the hatch counts making it one of the hardest achievements ive ever had to earn lol

I've obviously prestige'd more than 3 times lol
