Back 4 Blood achievements guide: all 67 revealed

It’s easy to miss Back 4 Blood achievements when all your time is spent avoiding becoming the undead’s next entree. Add the game’s mutant and morphing Ridden, and you’d be forgiven for having any time at all for them. However, if you’re driven to come back to unlock the weirdest, coolest, and most difficult challenges, there is a ton to clear throughout Back 4 Blood. But which ones should you go for? And how do you unlock them? 

With some, you may find yourself unlocking them by accident, such as jukebox Hero, which will come naturally through play. Then there are far more challenging achievements like Apocalypse Pacifist, where you’ll need speed run a mission without killing a single enemy. If you’re a glutton for punishment, you can even go for all the Nightmare difficulty completions, but be prepared for some truly tough challenges.

With Back 4 Blood’s first expansion, Tunnels of Terror, there are also twelve fresh achievements to add to any backlog you have. Thankfully we’ve collected the full list, new and old, so you can figure out what it takes to tackle the zombie apocalypse.
