How to unlock the Miner achievement in Deep Rock Galactic - Definitive Guide

For some reason this wouldn't unlock for me but did for my friends.

I had already completed a bunch of missions so I was stumped and figured it was bugged. I replayed the tutorial on both Xbox and PC but that didn't work. Eventually after some trial and error, I tried joining someone else's game that was in progress and finishing the mission with them which finally popped the achievement!

Leaving this here for anyone else who couldn't get it to unlock.

EDIT: Seems this isn't working for some people. I'm also having difficulties unlocking the "Lone Wolf" (10 solo missions completed) and "Expert Miner" achievement for 100 completed missions which stopped tracking at 8%. The "Legendary Miner" (for 500 completed missions) and "Bosco, You're the best" (for doing 100 solo missions) achievements ARE tracking however so I have no idea what's going on. Looks like this game just has a few buggy achievements right now.

EDIT EDIT: Both Lone Wolf and Expert Miner unlocked for me after joining someone else's game and completing a mission whilst ON XBOX. I play on PC but for some reason switching to Xbox and completing a mission popped them both. It did ask me to sync from the cloud before I started the game up so this might have had something to do with it, I'm not sure.

To add to the above solution, this SHOULD unlock upon competing the tutorial mission. Hopefully it will for you.

@springerr I thought the same and was relieved once I finally got it but now the lone wolf achievement for completing 10 solo missions is bugged for me instead. I've done 50 solo missions and no luck yet the one for 100 solo missions is tracking fine.

EDIT: Serious miner is also not tracking. Says I have completed 8/100 yet i'm about 75 missions in.

seems if you join a server and finish the mission you should unlock

Hasn't worked for me. I played on 4 different servers today from start to finish and still hasn't popped.

I've only played on PC and have yet to unlock this one regardless of me being host or joining after like 50 missions...

I have been playing this game on PC from the beginning and I decided to give it a go on Xbox to see if that was the issue and after my first game I got the achievement and I joined when the team was leaving so I was only in the game for like 45 seconds. so this in my eyes is clearly a PC issue unfortunetly

Can confirm playing a single game on Xbox after 100+ on PC will trigger this achievement. I got the 100 missions achievement then as well.

I've completed several missions including joining an already started one, but it didn't unlock.

hoping to find a solution to this not popping because I hope to 100% this game and it would be wack if the only one I don't get is the freebie at the start of the game

Achievement popped after joining and finishing a game using Xbox Cloud Gaming through the web browser. I only play on PC and have 60 hours total.

I looked at my achievements on TrueAchievements before I loaded up the Cloud session and "Expert Miner" was showing 0 missions completed. After "Miner" achievement popped I jumped back on my PC version of Deep Rock and saw my 60 play hours and 93 missions completed. Also, when I loaded up the PC version it synced my saves. I don't think it synced my saves when I loaded up on the Cloud.

TA now is tracking "Expert Miner" as 93 missions completed. Definitely as PC problem, but the Cloud gaming made it so easy to complete. I am guessing from original poster that if "Expert Miner" doesn't pop on PC then it will during a Cloud session.

This achievement did not unlock for me when I was playing on PC. I loaded up Deep Rock Galactic using XCloud, found a very short mission, completed it, and the achievement triggered. I don't know if it is a problem with the PC version of the game but streaming the game from XCloud worked around the bug. I think playing on Xbox instead of PC would also work.
