Unlocking all achievements in Remnant 2 is a true test of skill and dedication, showcasing your mastery over its challenging worlds and intricate gameplay. This guide will walk you through each “Epic” achievement in Remnant 2, providing clear instructions and helpful tips to add them to your collection. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the Remnant universe, this guide will ensure you don’t miss a single step on your path to 100% completion.
Start of Something Epic
Achievement: Build an Epic unit
This achievement is practically unmissable and will likely be one of the first you unlock in Remnant 2. Epic units represent the pinnacle of military might for each faction, and constructing one signifies a major milestone in any match or campaign mission.
How to Unlock:
- During the Beta Campaign: Progress through the Beta campaign missions. Building an Epic unit is a natural progression within the gameplay, and you’ll likely be prompted or required to build one as part of the storyline or objectives.
- Skirmish Mode (Easy Method): For a quick and effortless unlock, start a skirmish match against an idle AI opponent. Focus solely on resource gathering and base building until you have the necessary structures and resources to produce an Epic unit. Since the AI is idle, you’ll face no opposition, allowing you to achieve this at your own pace.

Self Sacrifice
Achievement: Feed a Mother Goo to a Proto-Purger (in any aspect of the game)
This achievement is a unique and somewhat morbidly humorous one, requiring you to sacrifice a powerful unit, the Mother Goo, to an even more formidable entity, the Proto-Purger. This act of “self-sacrifice” unlocks this specific achievement.
How to Unlock:
- Goo Campaign (Mission 5 – The Finale): The most thematic way to achieve this is during the final mission of the Goo campaign. As you progress and gain access to Epic units, specifically the Proto-Purger, you’ll also have the ability to produce Mother Goos. Once you have both, strategically move a Mother Goo unit into the Proto-Purger. This action will trigger the achievement.
- Skirmish Mode (Alternative Method): Similar to the previous achievement, a skirmish match against an idle AI offers a controlled environment. Build both a Mother Goo and a Proto-Purger. Then, simply direct the Mother Goo towards the Proto-Purger to trigger the sacrificial interaction and unlock the achievement without any pressure or opposition.

Epic Escalation
Achievement: Build the Epic unit for each faction.
To truly demonstrate your strategic versatility in Remnant 2, you’ll need to master each faction and their ultimate weapon: the Epic unit. This achievement challenges you to construct the Epic unit for all playable factions in the game.
How to Unlock:
- Campaign Playthroughs: As you naturally progress through the campaigns for each faction (Beta, Human, and Goo), you will inevitably gain the ability and opportunity to build their respective Epic units. Completing each campaign will bring you closer to this achievement.
- Skirmish Mode (Focused Approach): For a more direct approach, set up skirmish matches for each faction. In each skirmish, your sole objective is to advance your technology and economy to the point where you can construct the faction-specific Epic unit. Repeat this process for each faction to unlock “Epic Escalation.”

Back from the Dead
Achievement: Rebuild your HQ (in any aspect of the game)
Resilience in the face of adversity is key in Remnant 2. The “Back from the Dead” achievement tests your ability to recover from a devastating blow – the destruction of your Headquarters – by rebuilding and re-establishing your base of operations.
How to Unlock:
- Beta or Human Campaign (Possible but Riskier): While technically achievable in the Beta or Human campaigns, intentionally losing your HQ can put you at a significant disadvantage. It’s possible if you deliberately withdraw your forces and allow the enemy to overwhelm your base, but it’s not recommended for a smooth campaign playthrough.
- Skirmish Mode (Recommended Method): Skirmish mode provides the perfect controlled environment. Initiate a skirmish and deliberately move your starting forces away from your HQ, allowing the AI to destroy it. Once destroyed, reposition your forces to defend the area, click on the destroyed HQ site, and select the “Rebuild” option. This will unlock the achievement once the HQ reconstruction is complete.

Civil Servant
Achievement: Complete the Mago’s Pass mission without losing a single civilian
Patience and careful planning are paramount for the “Civil Servant” achievement. This achievement, earned in the “Mago’s Pass” mission, demands flawless execution in protecting defenseless civilians from enemy threats throughout the mission.
How to Unlock:
- Mission Selection & Difficulty: Select the “Mago’s Pass” mission and set the difficulty to “Easy.” This significantly reduces enemy strength and aggression, making civilian protection much more manageable.
- Frequent Saving: Save your game frequently and in new save slots. This is crucial. If any civilians are lost, you can quickly revert to an earlier save and adjust your strategy.
- Early Game – Refinery Focus: In the initial waves, prioritize building refineries. Position them near civilian spawn areas. Use your starting units to clear out enemies around these spawn points before each wave begins. Remember to utilize unit abilities to clear rocks and open pathways for civilians.
- Mid-Game – Tank Production: Around wave 3, transition to producing Large Factories with the Tank attachment. Begin mass-producing Gladius tanks.
- Late Game – Map Control: Spam Gladius tanks continuously. These tanks are effective due to their mobility and firepower, especially on Easy difficulty. Spread your Gladius tanks across the map, securing control of all Catalyst Fields. Leave a small tank force at each field for defense. By wave 5, you should have overwhelming map control and be able to easily handle any sporadic enemy spawns, including Mothers.

No More Running
Achievement: Complete the Beta campaign on any difficulty
“No More Running” marks your successful completion of the Beta campaign in Remnant 2. This achievement is awarded for finishing all five missions of the Beta campaign, regardless of the chosen difficulty level.
How to Unlock:
- Campaign Completion: Simply play through all five missions of the Beta campaign. You can choose any difficulty setting. For a first playthrough, especially if you are new to Remnant 2, starting on an easier difficulty is recommended to learn the game mechanics and mission objectives without excessive pressure.
- Difficulty Consideration: While you can technically aim for this and other faction campaign completion achievements on Hard difficulty simultaneously, it might be more beneficial to complete the campaigns on easier settings first to familiarize yourself with the game before tackling harder difficulties. Refer to more detailed campaign guides for specific mission strategies if needed.

Point of First Contact

Call for Help
Achievement: Complete the Goo campaign on any difficulty
The “Call for Help” achievement is your badge of honor for successfully navigating and completing the Goo campaign in Remnant 2. Finish all five missions of the Goo campaign on any difficulty setting to add this achievement to your collection.
How to Unlock:
- Goo Campaign Missions: Play through and successfully complete all five missions of the Goo campaign. Choose any difficulty level that aligns with your gameplay preference.
- Final Mission Tip: The final part of the last Goo campaign mission can be particularly challenging. A strategy to overcome this is to focus on overwhelming the enemy spawn points with cheap, expendable units after destroying their main bases. Allow your Epic units to be destroyed if necessary, and prioritize unit spam to maintain constant pressure on enemy spawning locations.

How to Unlock:
- Complete All Campaigns: Ensure you have completed all five missions of the Beta campaign, all five missions of the Human campaign, and all five missions of the Goo campaign.

You can attempt this on any difficulty. For a smoother experience, especially if focusing on 100% completion, consider doing this on an easier difficulty first, before attempting harder playthroughs.

GG
Achievement: Complete all missions of the campaign on Hard difficulty
“GG” is a mark of skill and perseverance, earned by completing all missions of all campaigns in Remnant 2 on Hard difficulty. This achievement is for those who seek a true challenge and wish to test their strategic prowess.
How to Unlock:
- Hard Difficulty Playthrough: Replay all campaigns (Beta, Human, and Goo), this time selecting “Hard” difficulty before starting each mission. You must complete all missions in all three campaigns on Hard difficulty to unlock this achievement.
- Bonus Objectives for Hard Mode: While the achievement itself only requires mission completion on Hard, completing secondary objectives during your Hard playthrough is highly recommended. Bonus objectives often provide valuable resources, upgrades, or tactical advantages that can significantly ease your progress through the harder difficulty. Completing bonus objectives on Hard difficulty will also contribute towards the “Completionist” achievement.

Completionist
Achievement: Win all missions and complete all bonus objectives in the campaign on hard difficulty
The ultimate achievement, “Completionist,” represents the pinnacle of Remnant 2 mastery. This achievement requires you to not only complete all missions on Hard difficulty but also to complete all bonus objectives in every mission of all campaigns on Hard difficulty.
How to Unlock:

- Strategic Saving: Saving frequently and in multiple save slots is absolutely essential for attempting this achievement. Hard difficulty can be unforgiving, and mistakes can be costly. Having multiple save points allows you to revert to earlier stages if a mission goes awry or if you fail a bonus objective, preventing significant progress loss.
