Short answer

54 achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore

Xbox published the complete list on September 9, 2026. There are 54 achievements: 46 worth 15 points, six worth 25, and two large ones worth 75 and 85. Completing all of them earns a Mythic Achievement on Xbox.

Twenty-two are tied to the campaign and sixteen to Horde Siege. The rest are split between Versus, progression and one-off feats such as executing a Boomer with the chainsaw.

Versus and progression

Versus has a small set: plant a bomb in Demolition that goes off without being defused, win a game of Conquest without the enemy scoring, and reach 25,000 Versus kills for HEY NOW, YOU’RE AN ALL STAR.

Progression achievements follow the Re-Up system. Field Service unlocks at Player Level 100 and your first Re-Up, and Got Your Wings requires the final Re-Up. With four Re-Ups available, that is 500 player levels.

Dead Serious, the new Seriously

The series’ notorious grind returns under a new name. Dead Serious asks for a 100 percent campaign on Insane, 25,000 kills in Versus, the maximum Player Level and all four classes maxed. It is worth 85 points.

It also pays out in multiplayer. Players who earn it receive a medal, title, banner, emblem and icon, and for the first time in the series a Legendary character skin. The Coalition says that skin will be shown at the start of Season 2.

Things worth knowing before you start

  • Every achievement unlocks a Player Title for multiplayer.
  • Campaign-progress achievements also unlock base characters.
  • Four Mastery achievements each award a Legendary character skin.
  • On Xbox, one achievement from the original list, The Lucky Ones Died on E-Day, was removed to support Mythic Achievements; it remains on Steam.
  • Several feats work in either Campaign or Horde Siege, including the chainsaw kill.
