How to unlock the Survivor 40 achievement in Drone Gladiator - Definitive Guide

Awarded for surviving 40 overall waves.

This is pretty easy to do however I recommend the following loadout:

1.Machine Gun
2.Machine Gun
3.Rockets
4.Rockets

Focus on upgrading your rockets and waves can be completed in less than 20 seconds.

I do a full playthrough upto wave 60(You see the final boss at 50 and it then repeats below)

this achievement seems to be very buggy for some people i spent a good 2 hours trying to get this and due to constant game crashing it kept resetting to 28%...

from what i can gather this achievement is accumulative up to 28% then for the remainder of it you need to do it in a single run which is impossible due to constant crahses

what i did to fix it was i lowered to games resolution and played the game in WINDOWED mode which then stopped the game from crashing

It works as it is now. No need to do it in single run.

Crashing bug still there. Got it twice in half an hour. So close to wave 40 as well.

Not helping me. My progress fluctuates from 30% to 52%. I'm playing at 640x480 with Low resolution and nothing. Reinstalled the game and nothing. I've gone as high as low 20s for rounds. This shouldn't be happening. Any way to clear your progress??

EDIT - Just got to 75%, died on Round 20, reset to 30%. WTF?????

are you playing in windowed mode? (not in fullscreen) i think that was the main thing that did it for me

Yes. When you uncheck ‘Full’, you can set your resolution. I set it to 640x480 which lets you play in a window. There is no ‘windowed mode’. To be clear, it’s not crashing, the % is resetting.

Last time I did it, I died on wave 20 (again), was at 75% (again), restarted and it dropped to 28%. I’ve reinstalled twice and even reset the app through Windows twice (right clicking the game in the Start Menu and clicking More).

Yes if your tracker drops to 28% (which is what mine was doing) then you need to reach wave 30 without dying. So if you die it will go back since it needs to be done in 1 run, only reason I mention windowed mode and lower Res is to stop the crashing because I physically couldn't make it to round 30 before it crashed on me

Thanks. I figured I’d have to do a 25-30 wave run. Can’t get past Unstoppable though; three times now I died.

It’s complete bullshit. I’m sure that wasn’t intended but shitty programming and tracking, and it probably messed up after the initial update. Plus, Cheetah’s and Achievement Land’s videos say it’s cumulative and to just keep replaying the first few easier waves, so they were playing an un-updated version. So misleading.

Just started the game today, everything works fine, it is cumulative, the game didn't crash on me, even on fullscreen ultra.

Warning: This has to be done in one go. If you fail on any wave before the achievement unlocks, when you restart, your percentage will revert back to around 25-35%.

Author’s Note: As you progress, it is recommended that you keep the MG for both left and right primary (trigger) weapons, upgrading them when you can. Eventually for lb.png and rb.png, I went with an energy shield and a rocket launcher. For button-x.png and button-b.png, I bought and equipped a turret and a drone, and for button-a.png I purchased the shield generator.

This is progress-related and should unlock early by Wave 30. Use the intermission between waves to reload your primary weapons (push in analog-left.png). The majority of the waves are just destroying enemies, and as you progress, you’ll earn more money to purchase better weapons, making this less difficult.

As the waves increase, so does the number of enemies, but if you use the circle-strafe strategy, you really shouldn’t have any issues as most of the enemies are destroyed pretty quickly. If you went with the turret and/or drone, dispatch them at the beginning of each wave and throughout the wave as needed (they both require a cooldown period).

You will encounter two bosses as you progress, one at Wave 10 (refer to Treader (100G)) and the other at Wave 20. The second boss, Unstoppable, might give you issues, but the same general strategy still applies from the first boss; circle-strafe and shoot from a distance, utilizing your turret and/or drone if you equipped them. The key is to keep moving so you take minimal damage.

After Unstoppable, the waves to destroy enemies show little variation than previous ones, so just make it to the next boss wave (Wave 30) and this achievement should unlock by then.
