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

As of November 2020, this achievement is partially bugged in that the achievement seems to reset the count when joining another person's game. Whether it gets reset from another kicking a barrel without my knowledge or it just resets on its own I don't know, but I know I left matches pretty quickly after everyone got back to the rig, so the likelihood of someone having time to kick a barrel was minimal Noticed this when I went about 30 missions without this unlocking, and the achievement counter was stuck at 40%.

If you're in this situation like I was, simply do 10 Solo missions in a row without touching a barrel in any way. After five solo missions, the counter went up again for me (proving the counter went to zero in a team setting), and I was able to get to ten missions with no problem after this.

The Hazard Level 1 Solo mining missions go quick if you only concentrate on the main objective (Morkite), as you can easily ignore the secondary objectives, gold veins, and especially Nitra. Give BOSCO the level one Mining Expert as this will speed up the run. If you happen to have Dark Morkite as the brew of the day, this will tremendously speed up the run.

August 2022 Update: It looks like you can get credit for this achievement by just starting the Solo match without having to finish the game, so you can get this achievement done in less than ten minutes by starting Solo matches, then abort after loading in. Load and abort ten times and the achievement should be yours, and now can easily avoid the barrel/"game join" bugs, if they still exist.

As of January 2021 I'm not sure if this is still the case. I unlocked this yesterday and I was only joining missions off of the server list. Hopefully someone else can confirm.

I noticed that the achievement progress goes up right when you start a mission rather than when you complete it. It's possible that you don't even necessarily have to do the missions, and you could get away with aborting 10 solo missions

@FartingDolphin7 - Just tested your theory and it works perfectly. Load up any mission and as soon as you hear the ship rumbling after the loading screen press start and go to abort. You don't even have to wait for it to land. Rinse and repeat 10 times.

Thanks for the verification @ChooseMyFate. With your and Dolphin's report, I'll update the solution!

This still works as of March 21, 2023. As a side note, it looks like the achievement counter goes up as soon as you go into the drop pod to leave and the timer counts down to zero. This is probably why you don't actually have to finish the mission to get credit. Thank you so much for finding this! My progress kept getting reset because of co-op.

@Lost in Shower thats good news! I'll wait for confirmation and update the above.

(It may still be possible for others to reset your count via kicking barrels, so it may still be safest to do 10 solo games in a row. If someone knows that this is not the case, let us know here and I'll update that too.)

Complete 10 missions without touching the barrels in the lobby and the trophy is yours.
