How to unlock the Dapper Capper achievement in Bugsnax - Definitive Guide

Over on the side of Gramble's barn, there is a wooden display board. On it it has pictures of areas on the island that show where to go to find a hat. This board will change out every now and then if you don't get the hat and will change once you do get the hat.

EDIT: People in the comments let me know that you first have to find a bugsnax with a hat on, and get that hat, before the board will show up.

When you enter the area where the board shows that there should be a hat, look around to try and find a bugsnax that's wearing the hat. They can be really hard to spot. For example, I found one on a red banopper in Boiling Bay, and one on a lolive in Flavor Falls.

Once you find the bugsnax with the hat, set a trap and catch it. Make sure to wait until the game pops up a message saying that you found a new hat before leaving the area. If you leave the area before you get that message, the game won't count it, and you'll have to get the hat again.

I did notice that when I fully transformed some of the grumpus that I was able to find their hats on the island.

The hats I found were a bucket hat, sauce guzzler hat, skull hat, Wambus's hat, Gramble's hat, a party hat, graduation hat, a jester hat, a top hat, and Chandlo's hat. When you're back at the barn you can place the hats on the bugsnax there if you want!

I would sleep in Cromdo's bed (or any bed) then run back to the board to see if its an easy area and then fast travel there to check out, if it was a bad or big area i would sleep till 5am again and again till it wasnt

I’ve finished the game but the board isn’t there, am I missing something?

@Spilner - This is a great tip, thank you. I didn't realise it changed before reading your post and its much easier ending up in garden grove or somewhere like that to search.

@Randomnutta - The hat board didn't appear for me until I caught a bugsnax that was wearing one. I was at the end game and confused as to why it wasn't showing up. Hopefully that is why yours is like that as well.

Just wondered, does the hat show up when you scan? A lot of time, I found new bugsnax just by scanning the whole "level" from distance and panning the camera 🤣

I now believe that I actually got the hat board to appear by accidentally getting a hat from a bug.

It's worth noting that if you cant find it or maybe its on a bug that hides forever when you scare him (im looking at you, tropicabug) you can go in and out and the hat will be assigned to a different bugsnax

The Bugsnax wiki details how to unlock every hat so it will spawn: https://bugsnax.fandom.com/wiki/Hat_Board The majority of them require having a hat already; the first hats you can unlock will come from transforming the top of several Grumpus' heads. It's just a matter of finding that first one, which is like finding a needle in a haystack, before the hat board appears. Also, it might have just been a delayed pop, but the achievement didn't unlock when I picked up my 10th hat, instead unlocking several minutes later during the loading screen going into Snaxburg.

If you are going to farm this, Garden Grove is by far the easiest. My last eight hats were on Bungers, Shishkabugs and Cobhoppers

Sleeping til 5AM for more favourable locations worked great. Atleast half the hats ended up on the Sandopede in Flavor Falls.

To start this, you have to find one hat in the wild for the board to show up on the side of Grambles Barn, above the food tray. I cannot tell you how long it took me to find this out as no guides stated it.

I found my starting hat on a bugsnax in Garden Grove, was tough to see as it spawned on one of the smallest bugsnaxs.

The board will show a location of a new hat. If the area is too big or out of the way, simply sleep a day and it will change location.

I thought my game was glitched, thank you for your solution!

Once you start transforming Grumpuses you will find that when you transform their head their hat falls off. For me the first one I did was Wambus and then I found his hat in the wild. Once you find the first hat, Gramble will tell you about the Hat Board. It shows a picture of one of the zones. If you go to that zone one of the Bugsnax will be wearing a hat. Unfortuantely it does not tell you which Bugsnax has the hat so you have to look around. Once you catch the Bugsnax with the hat, the hat is unlocked.

Travel back to Snaxburg to get a new location. There are more than 10 hats but the achievement unlocks with the tenth one.

A bugsnak in a specific area will be wearing a hat which will vary in size making it sometimes difficult to spot which snak is wearing the hat. There is a board at the front of Gramble’s barn showing the area where the next hat will be found but before this appears, you have to find one hat yourself. Go to each area until you find the hat-wearing critter and capture it to collect the hat.

When you return to Gramble’s barn, you’ll see the board denoting the area that the next hat will be found in. Before travelling, I would recommend sleeping until the next day or the hat may not yet have spawned. Once you have captured the current snak a ‘new hat’ message will appear a couple of seconds later. The snak that you have to capture won’t necessarily be different each time as it is randomly generated, I had to capture 2-3 Loaded Spuddy’s. Once you’ve snagged your 10th hat, the trophy will pop.

In general, the caps are on random bugs. But you can look at the hint in the pen - at which location there must be a bug. We carefully consider - when we find one, we catch it and get a hat.

But as I said earlier, it won’t necessarily happen only in the designated territory. We look more closely at the bug - you can also find a hat

As I said, in order for the picture to appear, you need to find at least one hat. Then we approach the picture, find out which location is shown on it, go into it and look for the beetle in the hat, catch it, get another one, and so on up to 10 pieces. I had such a thing that I couldn’t find a hat in that location or couldn’t understand what kind of location it was, to do this in the same house I went up to the 2nd floor near the sleeping bag and pressed
I slept until noon and went back to the picture, the picture changed, in this way I found 3 hats in one location and on the same bug hole.
