The problem is stat tracking. I've already confirmed directly with Xbox and have tested this achievement on multiple accounts before release. You can chapter select (New Save Slot) and pick up the ones you are missing. Each one you pick up adds about 14% to the tracking when you pick it up, regardless of whether it's in the same playthrough or not. For this achievement, it does not unlock when you get all 7, but rather updates each time a new one is picked up. It stat tracks for all seven, and doesn't do a one time conditional check to see if all 7 are there. I'm 100% certain that the problem people are encountering has to do with servers and the stat tracking ability of the game. This solution will be true unless there is an update to the game that changes how it works.

Ok so i see some people saying it needs to be done in one run and chapter select does not work. You state it can be done in more than one run, etc. Did you get your achievement in one run or did you use chapter select?

I have all but 1 in my first playthrough, haven’t jumped around. My tracker says 14%. Am I to assume this won’t be unlocking for me?

@zDrunkenMonkeyz, yeah, you should be at like 84% at least. Probably a stat issue with the game. :(

@Maka91 Appreciate the response, that’s unfortunate. Was really hoping something would trigger a retroactive pull on stats since TC said it’s been “fixed.”

I'm seeing people saying it has to be done in one play through and others saying you can chapter select? Which is is proven and does this apply to the components as well?

For me chapter select was not working. I miss the Act 4 upgrade, use chapter select and nothing. No achievement. The funny point is, it got the achievement today as I pick -up on a different save a upgrade from Act 2 which I definitely got on the other save and at the point of unlocking, I still have not all upgrades...

I think it is safe to say, collect please all upgrades in one run to avoid any issues.

@Zasta 360GameTV, stat tracking is just currently broken in the game. Once it works as expected, chapter select will work just fine. Until then, things will behave incorrectly.

@Maka91 so I finished it last night and got the last one and it obviously didn’t pop. Is there any way to see what ones the game didn’t record me getting? Would you suggest for all these tracking cheevos, collectibles etc to wait for an update?

By zDrUnKeNMoNkEyz on 11 Sep 2019 20:25
@Maka tracking is not the problem. As I say, I miss in Act 4 the upgrade, notice this in 4-2. Use chapter select aka new campaign save slot, go to 4-1, pick up the upgrade and nothing happens. No achievement and the game says on this save slot "yes you have this upgrade".

When I reload the old save with 4-2, the upgrade is missing. So I don't think it works save-cross like collectibles but I can be wrong too. Are only my personal experiences, maybe the users have others but for that we are here. To find out what is right ;)

Remember the cool achievement stat tracking that Judgement had? In-game. Mind blowing stuff.

how can we be donkeys years later and have worse achievement mechanics.

Stuff like this didnt happen back then when the cheevos could be unlocked offline... Anyway I just gived up about this and the "complete all act of the campaign" achievement. Maybe one day I'm gonna replay the campaign and get em, but heh, we will see.
No way a patch can give us this cheevos, so yeah, w/e.

Now that progression issues were fixed, how do know which ones got picked up towards the achievement after completing the campaign? It doesn't look like it's possible to view from your stats page.

Think I was around 84-6% or something, went to pick up my last upgrade in act 4 and my achievement progress is reset to 28% somehow.....go figure. I can see all the upgrades in game as well.

edit: The act 4 one is the one that is bugged for me. Achievement progress not

I've done all the waterworks missions on the same playthrough. The NPC puts down the upgrade for Jack by the drill, but it won't let me collect it! Quite frustrating.

Had 85% progress on the achievement before collecting the last one in act 4 - still stuck at 85% after picking it up. The jacked-up one still unlocked. Completely broken even after TU1.

Has anyone tried to get this in someone else's game? Mine is glitched because of Act 3 even on a new play through thinks I've already got them. Tempted to use another account to get to Act 3 and then collect them again in their play through. Don't know if that will work though.

Started a new campaign from the start, fresh file. Popped after I got the ultimate upgrade for the Cloak.

Had similar problem with one achievement in Fallout Shelter, fixed it the same way by starting fresh in a separate save file. Those still having issues with this and the other Jack-related achievements, try starting over in a new save file. Tedious, yes - but it should work.

I collected all upgrades on a single playthrough, and could have sworn an achievement popped when I picked up the barrier one, but checking my achievements it shows 85% complete! Definitely still buggy...

Just tried this again and still not unlocking. I'm guessing they don't have the dev time or the want to fix this for people. Kinda sad.

edit: after today's update 12/10/20 I thought I'd give it a go - it's now unlocked straight away after my save load. Took them far, far too long to fix it, but credit for doing so at least.

One of my waterworks side missions glitched out so couldn’t get the cloak upgrade. Only one I’m missing. Then again, still might not even get the achievement based on other comments.

@GrmRpr69, you can watch the video and literally see me unlock the achievement during Act 2. It doesn't have to be done in one run. With that being said, stat tracking in the game could still be broken and prevent you from chapter skipping to grab what you're missing, but that should be fixed now or soon.

Mine didn’t pop originally. The ones the game didn’t seemed to track were the two Crashed Condor sites in act 2 chapter 4. After picking these up again the achievement popped.

Just as a side note, I also had to redo most of Act 2 for the campaign completion achievement so before the post release patches the game really didn’t like Act 2. My point is: start there if your missing stuff.

Mine seems to be bugged too. I got them all in my first playthrough, but it says I'm at 85%. I've even tried loading up Act 4 - Chapter 1 in a new slot to get the last one again, but the achievement still won't unlock.

When I get some more time, I'm going to chapter select for all the other ones to see if for some reason it didn't count one of them. I think that's probably what happened; just like how the game didn't track that I completed Act 1 - Chapter 4, Act 2 - Chapter 1, 2, and 3 in my first playthrough. I had to replay those to get the achievement for competing the campaign.

Edit - I got it now. I started in Act 2 - Chapter 4, and was working my way through grabbing all the upgrades again. Turns out the one I was apparently missing was the Stim Ultimate upgrade (even though it unlocked on my first playthrough).
