How to unlock the Clean-up achievement in Atomic Heart - Definitive Guide

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.

Theres a total of 8 Testing Grounds to be found throughout Atomic Heart. All 8 will be marked on your map, once you've completed the main story questline "Morning Express" - travelling to the next open world area by train.

A Testing Ground consists of 2-3 large puzzle rooms, which get progressively harder as you go through them. Upon completing each room you'll be rewarded with a Bronze, Silver and Gold chest (Lootyagin). In some of the Testing Grounds you may encounter a "Combat" room where you need to kill all enemies before moving on.

See my full walkthrough guide below for all 8 Testing Ground locations, entry, puzzles and Lootyagin chests:

As of 25 Feb 2023, CRISPY CRITTERS! ...this still worked. Took about 5 mins reloading on the Xbox Series X.
0.05% rarity.

Thumbs 👍 up #7 from me.

Just a small correction but you have the "double box/select" or whatever the icon is called as what you use to load a game, but it's actually the "three lines/start" button. The one you listed brings up the inventory, map, etc.

Other than that, thanks +1

This has been patched as of 26/2/23 . Newest update (around 13gb) stops the save scum method. Hopefully it also means they fixed having to do it in one sitting.

So i found workaround, i guess they changed what triggered to be "complete a new training ground" because i loaded a save before even entering training ground 1 for the first time, ran through it without saving and it tracked.
It will take longer than the previous save method but it works.

1. Load Previous save that hasn't entered the training ground you are going to use
(luckily i had a save in the hedgie arena near TG1)

2. Complete the training ground without saving

3. Tracking Progress will increase when you leave the lift at the end.

4. Reload and repeat.

Advise to do in one sitting just incase.

Mine popped after reloading when i died during the twins fight. I did complete all the chambers at that point. Also the 15g one for finding a test site. But did it not all in one sitting.

As of the most recent update, the tracking for this achievement has bugged out in an oddly consistent but easily mitigated way. Post update, the tracker didn't increase upon clearing a training ground...until I reloaded to my last save from before completing the training ground and then finished it again. This happened to me every time post-update, but the solution worked every time too, so just save before leaving a training ground

^ Bro you are a fucking lifesaver. I was going crazy thinking this one had bugged out on me after completing #12 and nothing popped. Got it right after reading your solution. Thank you!

I'm not getting progress for testing ground #8 no matter how many times I reload the save. Is there a different workaround that I could try or do I have to wait until the next patch.

I had the same problem with ground #8. But I solved it by exiting the game and loading the last save before exiting the compound. It popped right after taking the elevator.

Add me to the list that #8 isn't counting for, no matter what I do. So damn tired of games having broken achievements.

No matter how many times I quit to dashboard and reload the save before I leave Testing Ground #8, it will not unlock the achievement. This is my last TG too.

Okay, so the achievement just unlocked. I went back to a save right as you start the final puzzle room on #8, I didn't complete (kept dying like a dummy), quit to dashboard, reloaded my save for I leave on the elevator out of #8 and it unlocked as I was going up the elevator. I don't get it, but it worked.

How on earth do you drop down and grab lower ledges, like in testing ground 8? It's really giving me problems. The platforming in this game is awful.

Stupid question, but do we have access to the open World at the end of the game? Or do we have to do all the tests and collectibles during the mission after the train?

Thank you for all the guides associated with this game. Surprised you made it thru it... There are now barrier glitches associated with testing grounds 2 and 12.

I confirm Chuckles' comments for 2 days I also have problems with Polygon 2 I continued to use the elevator then it ended up no longer doing it and I was able to access test site 2 but Polygon 12 is literally an invisible wall at the entrance to the cave.. I have tried ways, I have succeeded several times in climbing the invisible wall but I keep getting stuck on it, it is impossible for me to get over it.. hoping this is corrected quickly

I had completed one chamber bevor last update and tracker goes up when I completed the 2nd one so I think it's possible but the Chests in this Chambers doesn't track so I think it's fine in a new Playtrough but not in an actual one🤷

Indeed only way to get this now is to load your save on PC then complete it you can go back to xbox after doing polygon 12.

And of course after I posted that it worked. I reloaded it several times and nothing, then I figured screw it and loaded a save from before I entered the testing ground. Got all the way to the end where there is a save right next to the elevator and saved it there to try LaveerGreen's method if it didn't count. It didn't. So I did like they said; close the game, restart it and load the save right before the elevator, ride up. Progress moved as I was fighting the 2 belyash.

Regardless of their numbers there are 8 testing grounds in the game (might be other will come as DLC content, who knows?). Every testing ground has 3 chests to loot and puzzles you need to solve to reach those chests.

Passed all 8 training grounds. The trophy didn't drop. After that, I left the vicinity of the training ground and found a save machine on the road. Closed the game and started the save again. The trophy dropped (along with Lutyagin and the Explorer trophy).

I don’t quite understand whether you need to go through ALL the polygons, or whether you can go through the SAME polygon in several playthroughs, but in any case, when passing some of the polygons, the trophy dropped out when playing again

The progress of the achievement was stuck at 82%, although I received the achievement for collecting all the Lutyagins, rebooting the console helped, after loading the save the achievement dropped out.
