How to unlock the Lord of War achievement in Atomic Heart - Definitive Guide

Missable
There's a total of 11 weapons in Atomic Heart to collect, however only 10 of them have blueprints you can craft. You only get 1 Shotgun in the entire game and no blueprints exist to recreate it. So if you happen to dismantle the Shotgun and have your achievement tracking set back to 0% you won't be able to get this achievement. Do not dismantle the Shotgun!

Blueprints are found in the grey/yellow chests throughout Atomic Heart. The individual weapon blueprints appear to be in different locations for different people. Where I found the Railgun blueprint won't be the place you'll find it. However I did see messages on the side of the screen stating I already had certain blueprints, so it's possible you might be able to find multiples of them.

No Shotgun? Tracking bug workaround:
Collect all 10 available blueprints, gather crafting materials so you can create each of them at least once. When you have enough materials, create each weapon ensuring it goes into your Inventory and not the storage (this wont count). If done correctly and you've had all 10 weapons in your inventory/hands, the achievement tracking should sit around 91%. Now start a "New Game" and proceed through to where you first meet Granny Zina and enter Vavilov. Soon as you get "gifted" the Shotgun you'll also be gifted the achievement - All this must be done in one session! Closing/reopening the game will reset progress.

Guns:
KS-23 Shotgun
Electro
MP Handgun
Dominator
Kalash
Railgun
Fat Boy

Melee:
Fox
Pashtet
Snowball
Zvezdochka

Anyone know how saves work in this game? If I haven’t beaten the game but want to get this before, would I be able to start a new game and still go back to my original save?

thanks for the guide and workaround

just want to add. the progress will read 83% if you only missing the shotgun because not done in with one sitting

@BasedHelix after you've finished the game you can free roam. you need to do this in one sitting (no closing the game from xbox home) follow the workaround guide after you finished the gamd

probably the shotgun should have own blueprint since it appears to create, but for some reason the blueprint did not exist probably they will fix it

while the axe, you get automatically on start after the car travel, and you can create again if you dismantle

Yeah, the railgun is glitched, specifically when defeating a boss that drops the special module that you need, you can’t pick it up.

I did not have to start a new game to get the shotgun.

I was at the last save point before the twins and i dismantled all my weapons and went through creating them all, ready to start a new game and get the shotgun as the guide says but i got the achievement after creating the dominator.

I have been playing for about 6 hours and have created other wepaons during that time, for example i created the fat boy, died and created again later.

i can’t get any blueprints. all i get is duplicate blueprints. like what went through their head when they went “oh yeah, let’s make it 20x harder for them to get all the blueprints by adding duplicates!!”. it’s so draining man. i’ve opened over 200 chests and i just get duplicate cartridge prints.

I'm stuck in the same boat as you Akhis... searching all recommended chests for the railgun only to get another item. Started a new game and got different blueprint spawns but no railgun just yet...

Pretty sure the schematics are based up number of chests opened and not random. E.g. you need to open X amount of chests to unlock the railgun, with the railgun being last. I've found blueprints only unlock within silver chests and not every time you open a silver check but every 2/3 chests open you'll get a schematic and you have to unlock all other schematics before you get the railgun.

This is all speculation obviously on my part. Some people seem to get it so early on though, whatever. If it helps any though I finally got the railgun! It was in a gold chest in the Pavlov Complex. From the start I went all the way down the stairs and followed the linear path to a bathroom.

By Akhis on 27 Feb 2023 02:58
well, i have officially opened every single chest i could possibly find in all districts + vavilov. i estimated roughly 120 chests were opened and i got nothing. i also made sure i had the shotgun in my inventory so the game wouldn’t think i was missing the blueprint for that (since someone commented that i need all the other blueprints to unlock to get the rail gun) and i just got nothing. completely wasted hours of my life.

Update - so after another 15min I found a chest with Railgun, I didn't have materials to craft all weapons at once, so I crafted only guns, then disassembled and then crafter melee weapons and got the achievement!

Try moving each one into storage, then back out and into your hands. See if that works.

Is this bugged? I'm sitting at 75%. I've tried crafting both the fat boy and rail gun (newest blueprints) and my progress isn't increasing as I craft them. Tried moving stuff around between inventory/storage, quitting and trying again, etc.

Same as Mr Spineless, have all the weapons (after the last patch 1 3.5 the neuromodule bug is fixed) and nothing on Lord of War achievement. Have all the 12 weapons at the same time in the inventory and nothing. Tried deleting and recreating one by one and...nothing. Stuck at 91%. And I've never dismantled the shotgun.

I don't think people have notice but you can now craft the shotgun.
Make sure to save your game first before dismantle the shotgun or move shotgun into storage, then go to crafting and see if it let you craft the shotgun.

For those struggling to get the railgun... Pretty sure all of the weapon unlocks are tied to opening RED chests such as those in Vavilov safe rooms (first major area of the game). The red chests after Vavilov are not found in safe rooms anymore and you actually have to go find them in the game world/testing grounds/story levels. You need a certain number of red chests opened to get the railgun, which is why everyone seems to get it at different points in the game. For example, I did a LOT of exploring and got the railgun before even going into VDNH after defeating Hedgie. But tbh the railgun is pretty useless as it stops enemies from dropping loot, and fat boy does crazy damage when upgraded so you can cheese pretty much any enemy. The fat boy ammo is also very plentiful you will never run out.

OK - I’m gonna flag 2 points.

1. The Railgun

It’s not a guaranteed drop EVER in this game. It’s pure RNG based on your current progress, so the more you progress through the game through testing grounds - it’s gonna take longer to appear. On my first playthrough on normal - I did ever ground early - and it never dropped. On my Armageddon playthrough - it dropped in a random box while collecting robot parts to activate drill mode. Any of these videos on YT showing guaranteed spawns is complete BS.

2. The Achievement Itself

IF like me, you started another playthrough to get your missing gun and it’s still not unlocking - I managed to get mine to unlock just now doing this…

Proving you have all the necessary blueprints - you’re going to need to unlock the perks on the character for max inventory space first.

Then create a save wherever you want as long as you’re next to a Nora. Transfer all your inventory items over to storage. Now, one by one transfer your weapons back you already have made. Then, create the missing ones as they will go straight into your inventory and track correctly.

Achievement will pop after you pick up the last gun. Hope this helps

I completed the requirements while playing on a downloaded version after the big March patch but progress was stuck at 66% or similar.

I fixed it by uninstalling my installed copy, then hopping on the cloud version and crafting the weapons again. It immediately popped on crafting the 12th weapon again.

I didn't need to have all of the weapons in my inventory at once or even own all of them all at once (I dissembled some to generate resources for others). I did this all in one go without quitting or reloading my save, making sure to put them in my inventory at least once before dissembling.

I can't find the railgun blueprint. I got all chirpers/lootyagins/dead people achievements, but not this. I walked for hours scanning the whole map for chests, opening hundreds and never got the blueprint. It seems impossible to go back to the VDNH complex some people seems to mention they got it there (but also believe I opened everything in it). The worst thing is I have a vague souvenir of getting it right at the start of the game, but I think I was overwhelmed by robots and reloaded the checkpoint. Maybe that's what bugged it?

You can start a new save if you are missing one weapon and it will stack from a previous playthrough so you don't need to do them in all in one playthrough, I somehow missed the Sword from the first area after chasing Victor, so if you know what your missing and where it is you can b-line straight to it

I started the new game, and now you can obtain blueprints normally, even my game was closed and I progressed opening new chests and finding new blueprints. Right now I'm at 91% and I'm still only in the VDNH complex, I'm guessing last one - Railgun will give me trophy even without Shotgun.

What I did just crafted each weapon at NORA, and when I was missing parts I disassembled the one I made and made a new one and progressed. Hope this helps.

Same goes for any other tracking issue achievements, seems like latest fix fixed closing the game and continuing as my Necromancer achievement also tracks properly now.

i got the railgun blueprint at the top of the exhibition center - there's an electric grid puzzle at the top and the mission tells you to go back to the exhibit (the whale i think) but i continued outside instead and i got the railgun blueprint in a chest up there :) my friend said he also got it there but who knows how accurate that is :) i re-crafted everything (except the shotgun) and i have all 12 weapons and no cheevo 😾 i also didn't get the kill the twins one and the craft all consumables one and i should have those too 😾😾😾

@Buachaill Dona The shotgun blueprint can't be gotten in the current state of the game but 91% means you just need the railgun anyway. After doing 4 playthroughs and reliably getting random blueprints but from the same chests, all I can suggest is grabbing these 5 open world boxes if you’re endgame and still missing any of them. It seems you need to open a set number of ‘blueprint boxes’ before you get rewarded the RAILGUN.

- West side of map, ring with Testing Ground 6. At the boat station, on the dock where you first activated the Hawk to get into Hedgie's arena (Credit to Nesmaster).

- South side of map, ring with Testing Ground 9. Directly north of the words Kollectiv Complex above the road in some polymer mid-air.

- East side of map, ring with Testing Ground 2 & Plant 01. Directly north of Plant 01, near the center of the circle, there's a save house. Walk out of the save house; there's a bus stop in front of you and a lake on the left with a dock. There's a rocky cliff with houses on top in front of you. The house nearest the point of the ricky cliff (not the shed) has a yellow chest on top. Climb some hay bails, jumping to the left, to get on the roof. (Credit to E vee dub)

- Check inside the same house as the one listed above for a normal chest.

- North-east side of map, ring with Testing Ground 11. After leaving the theater behind the exit building. It can be located to the west (about 50 feet) before crossing the bridge over to where you fight Belyash. Directly north of Hawk 01.

You will have to get a lot of mission locked ones also though. I'll put them chronologically. All the red ones in the safe rooms for the first half of the game. Lesnaya Station, on the way in a farmhouse in the wheat fields & on the way somewhere on your right o top of a red house. Facility 3826, in a room before and after you meet NORA, each sector (cold, hot, algae & assembly) seemed to have a chest in their breakrooms too. VDNH Exhibition complex, under the first room turning puzzle (Credit to Lordacris). Pavlov complex, from the start go all the way down the stairs and follow the linear path to a bathroom with a gold chest and a chirper in the toilet next to it. Lighthouse, holds 2 chests that give blueprints. I'm sure there are more but that's all I got from the top of the dome and previous comments. Hope this helps someone.

I got the trophy when I placed 11 types of weapons in my inventory (there were blueprints for all of them except the shotgun. But it is given to us at the beginning of the game. I did not disassemble it). Only the railgun remained uncreated. BUT! Before this, all types of weapons were created . At first I thought that the main thing for the trophy was to create each weapon at least once. And I disassembled existing weapons to craft new ones. It didn't work that way. I then started crafting each weapon and placing it in my inventory. When I placed 11 in my inventory, I was missing two types of resources for the railgun, but the trophy still dropped.

Let me add one more nuance. Before this, I shot with a railgun, completing the "triple penetration" trophy. As soon as I completed it, I loaded the save from Eleanor and began crafting weapons. Since in my new save the railgun remained uncreated, and the trophy still fell out, I think the game counted me shooting before reloading the save. So try different options until you fix it.

The trophy was given when all 12 types of weapons were put into the backpack, taken out from Eleanor (the red cabinet).

Drawings drop randomly from chests; there is no 100% guarantee of finding some types of weapons. Loot everything you see. However, it's a matter of luck. I've only found one weapon design in all this time.

The trophy came out when I simply created all the weapons one by one, except: PM, KS-23, SWEDE. That is, in fact, there is no need to re-create the original weapon.

It helped me this way - for the first time I created all the weapons that were in my backpack, the progress of the trophy was 8 out of 12... I rebooted and created everything again - that’s when the trophy dropped.

My achievement progress was counted when I received a weapon, no matter whether it was crafted or found, I did not craft all the weapons, and did not put everything in my inventory at once, everything was counted gradually as the game progressed, after receiving the last weapon, the trophy dropped
