How to unlock the Act 1 Veteran achievement in Back 4 Blood - Definitive Guide

Alright ladies and Gents! As you all know, there is no way to account for the Corruption cards so know that there is quite a bit of luck involved in clearing these maps.

The most important thing you need, is a GOOD DECK, if you don’t have the cards, you will not survive. I personally set my deck up for a CQC/ Melee class, with the majority of my cards buffing both stamina, melee damage, and temporary health buffs. The primary cards I had included battle lust (2 health per melee), face your fears (3 temp health for kills within 2 meters), meth head ( + 40 stamina and melee), mandatory pt ( + 15 stamina for team) superior cardio/ cross trainers ( + move speed, stamina, health, stamina regen), berserker ( +10 melee, +10 melee speed, +move speed).

It’s also important to note that I was using Evangelo/Holly with this set up as the both have additional buffs that boost melee.

Additional cards to consider will be your team buffs including avenge the fallen, marked for death, second chance, ammo for all, etc. have some fun and customize to your playstyle!

Now, in regards to completing the act. A few things to note, YOU MUST PERSONALLY SURVIVE EACH MAP ATLEAST ONCE. When I cleared act 1, I had all the checkpoints for act 1, and had access to act 2, however my achievement didn’t pop. After trial and error, I realized I never survived the finale on bar room blitz. After completing the finale alive, my achievement popped immediately. My advice is to refrain from progressing through checkpoints until you can confirm you have successfully passed the map alive.

Currently, these achievements will not pop in single player, BUT they will pop for playing an online match with a team of bots. I noticed especially in act 1, players would typically always drop out after losing a continue. The AI for this game isn’t stellar, BUT they stick together, much like most gamers don’t understand in public matches. Personally, I found veteran to be far easier playing with AI and exercised this option every chance I had.

This is not an exhaustive list by any means, just what worked for me! Good luck everybody!

On veteran and Nightmare checkpoints are awarded at certain intervals. Yoy do have 1 continue to use if you fail, but if you are out of continues, you have to start from your last checkpoint. On veteran, Abandoned is the final checkpoint for the chapter.

It can be an aggrivating system, but it is what it is. I recommend lots of pipe bombs for that level, everyone in your team should have one.

When my group beat it Iwas a melee build, and was in charge of loading the rounds in the gun. This was because, we always tossed a pipe bomb as I was loading a new round, this is the part that takes the longest, and where you are most vulnerable. With most common rushing after the pipe bomb, I wasn't as useful at dealing with rhe mutations as the sniper on my team. Thus, we felt I was the perfect candidate for the rounds. Plus I was tanky and strong enough to fight off any common that got by the pipe bomb.

While you are loading a new round someone else can grab you rhe next bullet to use, and they can drop it down for you. I want to say it despawns after 30 secinds or so, so pick it up quickly after you clear the spent shell.

Have a sniper build dealing with special infected, there wont be a ton of common if you brought enough pipe bombs. Another player should be watching your back while you load rounds, if a couple common get you, you can go down fast.

The ogre comes after the fourth shot. If you are quick enough you can kill it with the 5th shot. There are also some mine shafts that open up periodically, just like the previous level, there should be propane tanks around you can set by them, your team needs to be johnny on the spot, and blow the mine once it opens, to keep common to a minimum. Its not a horrible finale with the right strategy.

Obviously your group composition, and ultimately RNGeesus shining his light on you will play a part in winning, but hopefully that all helps.

I'm surprised how easy this is I thought I'd be struggling (only played half of act 1 in veteran from saying this) but I don't even wish to think of nightmare if I'm honest but I'll cross that path when I reach it.

The most boring is that you must achieve several mission to progress. You can't start from all existing missions in an act. This is really difficult.

Just passed 1 chapter of 3 missions in act 1 with 3 bots. Good advice. You really can do teamplay with bots. Often more than with real players.

Alive in the safe room in each mission? You must. You can't be dead and your friends finish the mission if you want the achievement.

There is no solution for recruit difficulty. But even still I completed act 1 but no achievement for completing it on recruit. Yes I was online in a private solo match. Every other achievement I went for popped without issue. Frustrating to say the least.

You can die and have achievement for the mission if your team finish it. But not for the act. You must be alive in the safe room for each mission of an act. Just find the one you missed and the achievement will pop immediatly.

@Yuanda Zhu San

I firgured it out. I wasn't aware of not being able to earn achievements in solo when I first got the game. I played the first 3 chapters in solo then switched to online. It popped after I completed the 3rd chapter online but I was solo.

So I got the achievement but Act 2 didn't unlock to continue. Is it true that you can only unlock the next act through your own create a run feature? NOT by joining other runs?

Does anybody know if you have three people and if you die and get through the rest of the level with the spare bot if it will still count?

It has to be your character and regarding saving progress points it has to be on your host.

The most recent update fixed the achievement not unlocking if you die in a map but your teammates finish the map. Apparently it was a bug all along

It does NOT have to be your character. I got the achievement last night after the character I was playing (Doc) died and I switched to Evangelo that was controlled by a bot. I made it to the safe room with him and the achievement popped.

So this has happened to me a few times now. I complete the final mission of Act 2 (where you have to beat five snitchers + two berserkers) but I always end the mission downed (but not dead), would this still count as the "saferoom" is the church, technically?

You may need to finish/complete the achievement MIND YOUR STEP firstly, before attempting to complete NIGHTMARE/VETERAN.

You do NOT have to survive every map. I just beat chapter 2, and did not make it to the end of one of the middle levels. I still got the achievement.

Act 1
After beating the level “Abandoned” the game doesn’t unlock the next level. I always have to repeat “Abandoned” to reach the next one. Is it normal?

Poia, are you saying you beat abandoned but the game doesnt let you play the last level? Or are you saying you aren't getting a checkpoint for the next level?

It's not normal to have to play a level twice in a row, but if it's the latter, unfortunately Abandoned is the last checkpoint you get in Act 1.

Select BOTH veteran/nightmare, but leave the ACT 1 thru 4 , check boxes UNCHECKED. And clique to search.

I can echo what Dark Death 90 said. My group and I just cleared Act 2, at the finale where you hook up the cargo containers then fly out in the chopper, one of our team mates died. We played through the rest of Act 2 thinking we would need to redo that level for them, and they got their achievement.

I can't say anything about a matchmade group, but if you are in a pre-made group, and your team completes the level, you will get credit.

2 players who know each others well and 2 bots seems to be the best option. Unfotunately impossible to block. Even with a private group, players always join the game. It's boring. A solution to play with 2 bots with no possibility to join???

Just completed Act 1 from beginning to end on Veteran for the 2nd time, and still no achievement. Was online with other human players and everyone made it alive to the end of every mission. The Act 1 Veteran completion does not even register in my profile accomplishments. Very frustrating...

After beating Abandoned the game starts the next level (thunder something). If I fail it, I have to repeat the whole Abandoned. I think it’s a stupid system. I completed abandoned, I should be able to start from the next one since they are two separated level. I guess developers weren’t thinking when they developed this game. 🤷‍♀️

See the Trophy for Act 1 Cleaner trophy_bronze.png for an offline strategy/tips.

Completing Nightmare will also unlock this trophy, however i would strongly recommend playing through the game on each difficulty to unlock more cards, and learn the maps to develop your own strategy on how to tackle certain situations.
