Save Scum Method has now been patched (26/02/23). I'll leave the video below for anyone who might be curious what that was.

I've just started a new game today to complete this achievement correctly in one sitting. There's a total of 35 different enemy types/variants in the game, however you only need to scan 22 to get the achievement to pop. I managed to get the achievement shortly after stepping off the train and scanning Hedgie within 4 hours. Here's a list of all mobs in the order of their appearance.

It's not working at all for me. Not even the ever first enemy is tracked. Or anything that should track, doesn't. And scanned Enemiesmnot getting a log entry in the menu.

@OniDestiny try restarting your game and closing it down completely. I've seen it once before myself.

By Lordacris on 22 Feb 2023 16:21

Save scum method still working as of 23/2/2023 patch.

By Lynxien on 23 Feb 2023 12:18

I'll get that added E vee Dub. Thanks

By Lordacris on 24 Feb 2023 10:09

Boss Fights are a good time to do this - I'm currently increasing progress from the Natasha Boss fight, there's a save right before the entrance and Boss drops in, scan, reload.

By NicholasKidman on 24 Feb 2023 15:25

Using the two twins save for this as they count as two. Easy..

By EI Bikerboy on 26 Feb 2023 07:45

I was doing the cheese method and didn’t even close out of my game and the tracker stopped at 97 percent and wudnt go up ne more even with new enemies, it just stopped at 97…..the other cheese method for hitting enemies with the car tracked and unlocked just fine

By DragenKnite on 26 Feb 2023 07:46

Just decided to scan the hedgie boss 50 times to see if the achievement wud unlock for me that way…..and the achievement unlocked for me, I’m happy it finally unlock after stalling at 97 percent

By DragenKnite on 26 Feb 2023 09:18

I watched your video and, by remarkable coincidence, I was at the same save station. I had been neglecting to scan, so there's a mother, sprout, mutant and poison mutant. Scanning all 4 meant my tracker went up by 8% each time, so my advice to anyone trying this method would be to find an area with as many enemy variants as possible before starting to scan. It'll speed the process up quite significantly.

By Frizzy Totay on 26 Feb 2023 11:16

Can confirm this has been patched, Tried scanning the same enemy over 60 times and no progress or achievement.

By Frosendog5211 on 26 Feb 2023 21:36

Bare with me on re-working this guide using the traditional methods...

By Lordacris on 27 Feb 2023 13:10

Updated and thrown together a video guide too!

By Lordacris on 28 Feb 2023 00:03

Looks like this update fixed this or at least made it work a bit. I started a new game and scanning the enemies in this run started making the progress go up and it just popped for me. It’s not working the same for necromancer though.

By BasedHelix on 28 Feb 2023 00:46

Yes, can confirm - after starting the new game my progress goes further I'm in open area right now and have 95% so seems like some progress carried even over from original play through. Regarding Necromancer it also goes towards progress, but problem here is that there is a dead body that is not intractable in VDNH Complex and you won't get achievement progress with that one so I'm guessing it's unobtainable normal way if you even talk to every dead body in the game.

By LV Drejz on 28 Feb 2023 07:43

Tracker stopped at 95%.

By Buachaill Dona on 01 Mar 2023 13:28

Twins and Dewdrop do not seem to count.
I did not encounter neither of them yet. My achievement popped while I scanned the Plyush in Pavlov. 🤔

By TheBongoFury on 09 Mar 2023 14:34

Mine also popped while in the VDNH Complex just after the Plyusch fight. I scanned a little Laborer and it gave me the achievement. I don't have half of the things listed above.

By Vaciks Ghost on 18 Mar 2023 03:28

I just got this for scanning one of the mutants or their flying hosts in the VDNH site. Definitely didn't have all but I'm delighted that I don't have to mess around with this one going forwards!

By Djshep on 20 Mar 2023 15:15

Maybe this achieve buggy+, because that achieve pop me after scan half of mobs

By RetroDron on 08 Apr 2023 10:05

Just popped for me after scanning hedgie, went from 95 to 100%.

By appare13 on 13 Apr 2023 19:58

I scanned the first shield VOV after the train crash and it popped. I was watching the progress bar and it gives a lot of progress for each scan.

By Fuzzmeister J on 17 Apr 2023 00:27

Same as Fuzzmeister J, I was following the video guide and it popped when I scanned the first shield VOV after the train crash. Feels like it shouldn't of popped that early, but I'm not complaining

By JJR0906 on 31 May 2023 14:44

just left the compound and scanned one of the roaming bots and it popped for me. very very strange

By TheTokenHobo on 28 Jul 2023 05:37

Also popped for me very early in Forrester. I wasn't watching the progress tracker. Perhaps it was counting mobs multiple times, or it just suddenly jumped percentage.

.
To be clear, scanning an enemy is done by double tapping RB and holding the 2nd tap, then keep the focus on an enemy until its strengths and weaknesses are displayed... correct?

A guide should include that... a good guide anyway.

The trophy is kind of random. In my first playthrough, I didn't scan a single boss and a couple of normal enemies. The trophy fell to me at the beginning of the second playthrough for scanning a simple chamomile. Scan all mobs in general and it may just randomly drop out.

By Genetiro on 29 Mar 2023 01:08

The trophy dropped at VDNKh in Pavlov on the first playthrough, so apparently not all enemies need to be scanned.

By FEDim2ich on 01 May 2023 21:05

On the first playthrough at the VDNKh location it dropped

By alanto999 on 16 May 2023 23:15

It still drops randomly. The first playthrough scanned everyone in Vavilov, went outside, scanned a patrol bee, a duck, a worker, and the trophy fell out.
