Would there be any reason why this wouldn't unlock for anyone? I am 100% certain I have gotten and used every equipment at least once. I played instant a lot more than campaign though so you think that might have something to do with it too?

This is a "semi-glitched achievement". and will not unlock for many users. (myself included) Once you pass a certain set of parameters the game never cycles the check on the parameters that would cause this achievement to "pop". So if you are just starting this game go for this achievement first thing or it may never unlock for you.

This achievement, is one of a group of Multiplayer achievements that CAN glitch for you, it may or may not, some have it, some do not. The only explaination is something irratic in the achievement unlock code, this is still there even after the December 2010 patch. Only another patch will correct it, and even then probably only for "new players", unless the developer does a Multiplayer Stat server reset after another patch.

Just updating for anyone curious, the glitch is still here 12/4/2012, and there are rumors the servers are shutting down soon. This cheevo glitched for me, but luckily I got Payday! I'd much rather have it than this one if I was forced to choose...but I still want this ><

never played it online before and i was just wondering if you actually need to hit a ghost with the equipment or just using it will get you the cheevo?

Never mind i got it and just to clear some things up you have to be in a ranked match and use them on enemies i did it them all in one match but you might be able to span them out

I didn't play online too much when I first played the game, but I did play enough to get an achievement or two. The other day I went back to it and just kept picking up all the powerups. Eventually after about 5 games this one popped. So, it's still attainable and personally did not give me any problems. Sorry to those who can't get it.

Wonder if people keep trying it will eventually pop? Curious how many times people have tried. I kept track and got all power ups at least three times but no luck

This Achievement definitely has some issues.. it popped for me after i picked up the slime powerup for the 4th or 5th time and my partner picked up the Meson Collider at least 10 times before but the Achievement unlocked for him after he picked up a Meson Collider Powerup... and yeah we used all the powerups on Ghosts as soon as we got them.

So it seems to me that this Achievement and Payday are the ones that people have to look out for... both can still glitch on you.

Last in 4 years on March 15th, 2015 at 3:22 p.m. I did choose this character already is Egon Spangler, then I did put the equip is Proton Stream and then we are ready to start with each match to get this one. I did use both power-ups and equipments is Ghost Stunner (Stasis Shock), Ghost Shrinker, Ethereal Shield, Proton Accelerator, Stasis Stream, Meson Collider, Slime Blower and Purple Slime Blower. I did already use both power-ups and equipments and got the achievement. Use a Ranked Match to get this achievement, not Player Match because it will cause glitched on you. I did I got the achievement already back in 2015 for 4 years ago when I got it, but it did worked for me.

Not that it matters, but you don't have to 'use' anything for this to pop.

I just tested on a dummy account. It's been glitched on my main account from the beginning and someone in the most wanted ghosts solution comments claims BC fixed broken achievements. It definitely didn't for me. I collected all of the listed powerups (and used them as explained) on my main profile on three different characters to no avail. I tried on a dummy account and literally never activated or fired any weapon, and once I picked up the 8th of the listed powerups, the achievement popped.

So this will definitely work for anyone starting the game now but if you played multiplayer prior to the patch way back in Dec 2010, this is very likely broken.

Can confirm that this worked on 9/3/2022. It did not pop when I was playing on 9/2, but it did show up when I loaded the game again.

Anyone can very easily test this right now. You can unlock this achievement in minutes. I’ve done it numerous times on dummy accounts. But I still cannot get it to work on my primary account which played before the patch that was released in 2010 to fix broken achievements.

I explained it in detail a few replies above. This is a very simple achievement that just requires that you collect all of the power ups. You don’t have to use anything. Just pick them up. The achievement popped for me on numerous dummy account instantly and it only took maybe 10 minutes to get all of the required power ups to appear.

Ok, can I get some clarification on this one please. IS there such a thing as Stasis Shock? Or is that meant to be Ghost Stunner or should the powerup list read Ghost Stunner, Stasis Shock, Ghost Shrinker and Ethereal Shield?? Because there most definitely is a Ghost Stunner and Monoxide doesn't mention it and I most definitely have never seen a Stasis Shock and I DO NOT have this achievement despite picking up EVERYTHING and USING them apart from Stasis Shock. Have I glitched the cheevo?

I heard they just put in ANOTHER patch to fix the old patch. So are these achievements working now?

As of 9/2/22 Online does work for this game. Based on other comments I have seen around the web achievements are working and the bugged ones may have been fixed with a patch. Some friends and I are going to work on these. Once we can confirm if everything works, I will update here.

As of now though the online portion of this game does work. There are almost no players online.

Also as a side note... if you have not played since Xbox360, this game is backwards compatible. If you start the game up on a newer console it will pull your cloud save if you have one there.

When you load the game up on a newer console it will tell you that it is going to overwrite your save data. THIS DOES NOT DELETE YOUR SAVE. It upgrades the save file for use on the newer consoles. If you still want to go back and play on the 360 then you will need to export the save (copy it) to a USB device from your 360.

Happy hunting!

Just a quick note, I did pop this achievement with the Stats/Leaderboards being down. It was very glitchy though and didn't come up the first time I found the 1 powerup I missed. I then went and tried to collect each powerup in a single match which failed multiple times trying. It randomly popped up finally and I didnt' even know realize I had backed up into a powerup on the ground behind me lol. I seem to be the only recent person in a month to unlock this one though. So it did unlock with the Leaderboards down but I think I had collected all of the powerups in a single match and even then it took multiple times before it randomly popped up.

I to was also having problems with this achievement. There is a powerup that was not mentioned in any online forum I came across it is called the "ghost stunner" if memory serves. I do not know if it spawns on all maps but I picked it up in the museum. It was at the center power up spawn in the 3rd area of this level. Hope it helps.

i don't think this chievo should be marked as buggy. it's just that people are missing some items, as in the stunning one or maybe the pink slimer

i got it just by playing a few games picking up everything i could. i knew i was missing something because i had seen people with a purple slimer but i haven't. when i got the stunner and the pinky, i got the chievo.

@Alita360, this achievement is definitely buggy. I have played exclusively with a friend and he has it, I don't...we've played for days and I've been picking up the powerups solely ever since he got the cheevo. I am CERTAIN I got everything AND used it. Just search online plenty of people are missing this one

I tried most things. I got all of the power ups through out muliple maps, got all the power ups in 1 match, even tucked my balls between my legs while doing a back flip collecting them and it still will not unlock. :/

I never played the game online line pre-patch

I was recently playing with a friend post patch whom never had it and he was missing the pink slime blower. Actually I know a few ppl whom overlooked this. It is hard to confirm an achievement being buggy if there is no counter involved to let you know where you status is with the achievement. You might want to look in to whether you complete the match successfully, not sure but it couldnt hurt.

This achievement has definitely glitched for me. I've gotten everything except this and Payday and I spent at least 100 hours working towards Gozer's Most Wanted, No Job Too Big, and Overachiever. There's no way that I've missed a requirement for this achievement.
