How to unlock the Diversity achievement in Defense Grid 2 - Definitive Guide

I did this in conjunction with
Defense Grid 2Full HouseThe Full House achievement in Defense Grid 2 worth 22 pointsBuild and fully upgrade each tower type in one mission.

which I would recommend doing to take out 2 birds with 1 stone.

Edit: Changed below guide to be in conjunction with Full House.

I did this on the first level (denoted by 01, not the tutorial) on Normal by playing on the Fully Loaded setting. You should be able to get it on Easy.

Block the top left and bottom right road with a Boost tower and put a third Boost tower on that square in between these 2. I put a Cannon on the middle boost, an Inferno on the top left, and a Gun on the bottom right. Focus on getting these completely upgraded, then put a different boost upgrade on each of the 3 Boost towers. After that, I don't think it particularly matters where you put the rest. Just try to place them logically (IE an AOE tower like the Concussion at the first curve, and the long range towers near the core). I had enough resources to fully upgrade everything after wave 19.

As with all other achievements in this game, the achievement won't unlock until you beat the level.

Well worded and worked great, the only thing I did differently is didn't end up upgrading the cannons and only went with one on each -front and back end. Then just created one of each type as I went (included boost for safe measure) and then just upgraded them to red in order once I had everything and they did fine. The enemy units never made it past the temporal mid map, this was a fun achievement!

There are 10 tower types and you will need to build at least one of each in the same game & they don't all need to exist at the same time. (Meaning that you can sell the towers after they are built once) The 10 tower types:

Boost
Gun
Inferno
Laser
Cannon
Temporal
Concussion
Meteor
Missile
Tesla

Like all other achievements in the game, the achievement will unlock once the match is over and it doesn't matter if you win or lose. (I personally decided to lose because it speeds up the process a lot faster but totally up to yourself what you choose)

The best tip I can give for this achievement is to go onto the first level but choose fully loaded mode instead of story. Create 3 cannon and, upgrade all of them to level 3 and they will be able to cope will all of the waves for the rest of the game now you have all of the resources left to build the rest of the towers.

By the end of the game you should also have enough to get them all to level 3 which will get you another 2 achievement: Tower Expert and Full House.

I have included a video below with a guide if you need more help.

I do not recommend to realize this achievement on the Series X/S.
In my situation, the achievement was blocked.

I had to retake out my xbox one X and and redo the guides to make this achievement.
This was the case for :
Tower Expert
Full House
Master Siege Breaker

There are a total of 9 different defense towers. To obtain this trophy, you need to have built every kind of tower in a single mission. Note that in the earlier missions not all towers will be unlocked yet unless you’re playing in the ‘Fully Loaded’ mode.

Since there is another trophy that requires you to build and upgrade all different towers in a single mission, you can save yourself some time by doing this in conjunction with the Full House trophy.

If you start out playing Story mode games, this achievement cannot be unlocked until you reach Split Decision (Chapter 7) as that is when the Missile tower first becomes available. However, as soon as you beat Chapter 1 you can replay it in a non-Story mode and choose Fully Loaded, enabling you to unlock this as quickly as your second mission if you so desire.

There are 10 tower types and you will need to build at least one of each in the same game to unlock this achievement. You can keep them, sell them, or upgrade them without impacting the achievement, and they do not all need to exist at the same time. The 10 tower types available are:

  • Boost
  • Gun
  • Inferno
  • Laser
  • Cannon
  • Temporal
  • Concussion
  • Meteor
  • Missile
  • Tesla

The achievement will unlock at the end of the mission, win or lose.
