How to unlock the It's The Final Countdown achievement in Generation Zero - Definitive Guide

NOT SURE but with MORE people currently having this achievement it may have been properly fixed last patch so this solution may be for not now. I will leave it posted if you are still having problems getting this one.

This is NOT really a guide just a HUGE WARNING to you about this achievement.

The games TRACKING system is BROKEN (case in point 7 achievements are currently un-attainable but hopefully being corrected by Avalanche). I have now attempted this achievement 7 TIMES and failed. As you do each Warboard mission there are several steps to each mission usually and completing some of them leads to new missions being started which I assume are also required to be completed for the achievement since it was linked to the original Warboard mission. So why 7 attempts. Well it seems if you compete things out order during your run it prevents you from completing the mission. Here are 2 examples. I was in a bunker looking around for the power generator to turn it on and I happened into a room with a sea can in it, of course sea cans tend to contain gear so I opened it to find a solitary dog machine inside at rest. I destroyed it since I could . I eventually found the generator and turned it on but was told that power was being drained off and to go correct it. Following the helpful icon I was lead back to that same sea can with the icon directly over it so destroying that dog machine was part of the mission I just did it ahead of time. Sadly the game tracking did not up date the mission as being already completed since I had done it out of order for the mission, the mission was now stuck and could not be completed. Another example happened on a mission at the airport bunker where you run around inside doing several things till you are told to go to the weapons armory. I got there and it is gas filled so I put on my gas mask (the masks suck cause you still lose hit points but just recently I found out with the gas mask on you will only go down to 18 health and then it stops dropping do not know how many aid packs i wasted trying the keep my health up while in gas now I just let it drop to 18 and search to my hearts content. Anyway the mission wanted me to find information inside the gas filled weapons armory. As I was searching the room for the info I came across some Locked Weapons Rooms that I could lock pick while searching so I did got inside and looted them then kept looking for that info I needed. I found the required info which led to the next part of the mission WHICH WAS TO TO OPEN THE INNER ARMORY WEAPONS ROOMS, which I had already just done and of course the tracking did not up date and there were now no rooms to open to complete the mission (almost put my controller through my TV on that one - this was run 5) The other failures were quite similar except one where the game crashed as I was heading to open some doors to access the artillary guns after I got the power turned on, heard a tape, and read a computer. When I re-booted the game it somehow last track of the fact I had already heard the tape recording and investigated the computer which UNLOCKED the artillary doors as the doors were now LOCKED again and returning to the recording and computer I could not re-activate their UNLOCKING again (this was run 7, controller bounced off wall I missed the TV LOL).

So my advice is this DO NOT DO ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT THE MISSION TELLS YOU TO DO, FOLLOW THEIR DIRECTIONS TO THE LETTER. Do NOT blow shit up, Do NOT lock pick, Do NOT kill any machines unless they attack first (failed when I killed a bunch of machines that I was to KILL LATER (run 3), Do NOT pick up any letter, tape recording, data drives, anything containing Info (run 2 and 6 picked up SHIT too soon) needed it later.

This games tracking is BROKEN and will NOT update mission status if you do things OUT OF ORDER and this will make the mission uncompletable and you will FAIL this achievement.

Best of Luck with one (Starting Run 8 Tomorrow)
Glenn 46 (Oh turning your game off then on again will NOT fix screwed up events if you were wondering, that is the problem with games that auto save and you have ZERO save options)

I did a GAME CHARACTER DELETE to get the saved info off the server cloud drives and a Complete Un-Install and Re-install of the game after each event in case any info carries over just to make sure.

This is probably WHY only 4 guys have unlocked this achievement so far. 13/4/2019

UPDATE FROM COMMENTS
it was recommended to try completing glitched warboard missions by joining other peoples games who have not yet done these missions. it turns out you can complete these missions but the achievement fails to pop so I am not going to recommend trying this method since the achievement still does not unlock. Thanks to Snitty and PhilipHerpantie for their advice on this matter.

FINALLY GOT IT ON RUN 11 April 21 2019 10:30 am. Here is some more info about this achievement. There are 7 Bunkers you need to find, each will require you to get a 3 part code off killed machines in the area of the bunker (White paper when you do your search of body). 3 bunkers have 2 missions and 4 bunkers have 3 mission and this is where the achievement description is a little sketchy. Doing the math that would be 18 missions to complete but that is WRONG, when you complete some of these missions, not all just some, NEW missions will pop up when you complete it and this is linked to the original so you have to complete these as well to get the achievement and even some of these new mission cause new ones to pop so watch and take note. To not screw up I would highly recommend you ONLY DO the War Board missions and do not pick any world missions, that or write down what world missions you have so you will see the new ones when they pop. You will have to finish the game to complete this achievement as the final mission is to finish the game. Follow my above advice and you should get this achievement barring a game crash does not scramble your mission status (I got screwed 3x by that happening making missions uncompletable). I tried SNITTY 1 advice several times when my mission got scrambled and joined other peoples games to finish them but it never worked for me so I will not recommend that, if your missions get scrambled well start a NEW RUN, I spent and wasted hours trying to fix them and never fixed one so I would not even go there.

Best of Luck, you are going to need it !!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for getting back so late been put of town. The only mission list is in your LOG file when you are on you MAP, INVENTORY. SKILLS page. The log is now broken up up two mission section one for MAIN story mission and one for SIDE missions. The only missions that are here are the ones you FOUND or UNLOCKED in game. When you complete a mission is gets check mark and becomes grey in colour. The error in glitched missions is carried over to the iCloud system so resycning does not work. Main mission are story missions and these are all found in the bunkers only so you have to get into ALL the bunkers and get to the control to activate them; and as my solution says there are 18 bunker missions but some of these unlock new missions as you complete them which are also needed to be completed to get this achievement. If you have glitched missions I am sorry you are screwed and will have to restart the game over, I spent HOURS and HOURS trying to get stuck missions unlocked and my internet searches turned up no one who figured out at way to unlock stuck missions, the only way is to restart which sucks. I would recommend doing this. play OFFLINE and as you complete each MAIN mission go back online temporarily to get the save in iCloud, once saved go back OFFLINE and complete the next one, rinse and repeat. This way if this screws up again (took me 11 attempts to get this) you can just reload the old save file in iCloud and try again from there saving the complete restart which I did 11 times. Hope this helps.

It seems as though you are deleting your save and starting from scratch each time. The better option would be to join some one else's game that has not yet completed which ever mission is glitched for you. It gives you a second try at the mission and if you complete it then return to solo the mission will still be completed. I had 4 incompletable missions that I fixed this way.
The only other thing would be to keep 1 easy mission open in your game to do last to make sure the achievement pops.

Thanks for the advice, appreciated. Not big on multi-player, have tried 5 times or so to join games here but always seem to find IDIOTS for lack of a better term. I will give run 8 a go and if it fails I will try your trick.

Joining someone's else game will not unlock the achievement just a warning, i had two quest that were bugged and they were my last two warboard missions to complete and decided to join someone's game and was able to complete those quest and it saved to my solo game as completed but did not unlock the achievement.

I unlocked this after The Girl Who Cried Wolf, leading me to believe you need to check each Bunker's Warboard and complete any missions on it rather than just unlocking the Bunkers themselves.

is there a mission list anywhere? I think I have found all missions but may be missing one. I also have 2 glitched missions whereby although i have completed them and got the xp, they wont leave the active quest log. deleting save doesn't change this when re-synced. any ideas?

I'm not sure IF the Main Mission from the DLC would be include for this achievement cause it unlocked while I was going through the DLC missions. The only mission that gave me trouble was A Wrench in the Works wasn't showing up for prior to the DLC update. I can't recall if there was any other mission that could have glitched out on me.

A lot of missions have been fixed. Some players might have to re-do the missions that got stuck.

I got this yesterday after re-playing some missions. I completed the game from start to finish in coop, I was not the host. For some reason, I was missing 3 missions from my completion list, it was
- Warboard - Minken Bunker
- Spiking the Guns
- The Girl Who Cried Wolf
I then hosted a game myself , my friend joined and after just going to the Minken Bunker I could get inside, unlock the Warboard and subsequently get the achievement.

That’s just par for the course when it come to Avalanche. Hasn’t anyone ever played Call of the Wild? They stopped adding achievements to their dlcs because they couldn’t figure out how to get them to unlock properly.

I completed the game and SAW this achievement pop plus "Rise Of The Phoenix". A total of 80G
In the achievements summary on both Xbox and Win 11 Xbox app it shows I have 1000G and 50 achievements, however when I go INTO the achievements list it shows that I have 980G and only 49 achievements.
Maybe its a server thing where some data hasn't updated. Hoping it rectifies in the next few days....
EDIT: After a couple of hours the summary matched the game details so I have 1000G in both screens and my gamerscore is back in sync.
Also confirms you can get this achievement without having the DLC installed

I just got this with no special steps other than just completing all the main missions, and I don't have the DLC. It looks like it has been patched to unlock correctly, thankfully.

Yes that is right, and I thought that was QUITE apparent from my explanation about COMPLETING missions was the whole purpose and that missions can become UNCOMPLETABLE if things go wrong or you do things in the wrong order for the mission. So yes unlocking the bunkers unlocks the missions which you must complete, the fact I have the achievement means I probably knew what I was doing and that if missions become screwed you will not get the achievement. I was just trying to warn players that missions can become UNCOMPLETABLE and how to avoid that.

The translation of the trophy is not entirely correct. In the original, the trophy is called “Complete all Warboard Missions”, which means that you need to complete all the tasks taken from the war boards in the bunkers (see screenshot) from the quest “Network of Command Bunkers”. You need to find these 7 bunkers, activate the “plan” and complete all the additional tasks that you will receive in these bunkers and the trophy is yours.

The trophy is wildly glitchy. Didn't drop out in co-op after two playthroughs.
