Ghostbusters: The Video Game

The solution description is a bit deceptive and reports on how to obtain it are all over the place. One thing we all know for sure is you need $2.5 million dollars. However, keep in mind it won't pop automatically there. Mine didn't pop until $8.6 million.

I'm convinced you need 50 job victories. I'm not sure with the word 'completion' means just finishing it avoiding failure but on the safe side I'd bet on 50 victories until someone else can confirm otherwise.

Finally I'm of the belief you need 30 different awards. Some other boosters claim that they did it with 30 awards but not all different. Mine didn't pop until I got a new award I hadn't gotten previously, so I'm leaning more towards the "different" rather than just accumulating awards. It wouldn't make sense since you have to play 50 matches anyways and 50 matches is 50 awards.

Here is a list of the awards and what to do to get them:

Now you only get one award at the end of the match. I'm assuming that you get the award you accumulated the most over the entire match.

Good luck and good hunting!

Edited the list of awards to show the maps too.

Here's some information I'd like to share with the TA community based on my experience with the multiplayer portion of this game.

The 'Overachiever' achievement will come naturally, as you work your way towards both 'Gozer's Most Wanted' & 'No Job Too Big':



Key Points
- Always play 'Ranked' matches.
- The difficulty scales based on the number of players you have in the match. Complete the matches with the minimum of 2 players, you and one other person, to ensure easier victories.
- The host will most often receive a more unique post-job award, then the other players in the match.
- You'll need at least 30 unique post-job awards, so be sure to rotate host when boosting with a partner. Otherwise, one of you will always get the dreaded '...Lightshow'
- Do not expect to earn this achievement once you hit that $2.5mil. career cash total. It unlocked for us between $5.5mil - $7mil each.

Below is a link to a checklist I've created, to help you track your progression for 'Overachiever'.

Good Luck.

I think the other solution to this achievement is wonderful, I just thought that I would point something out. A lot of people complain because they only get Light Show or Slowpoke when you do not get the top earner spot. I have found that if you are playing with a 3 or 4 person team this will almost always happen, but if you only play with a 2 person team you will both recieve different and more varied awards more times than not. This works in campaign. Out of all the 2 person team missions I have played I didn't recieve LightShow or the other generic awards once, and I wasn't the top earner for most of them. I hope this helps a little on this pain in the ass achievement.
