How to unlock the Eye Scream, You Scream achievement in High On Life - Definitive Guide

Achievement popped after I killed 20 of the smaller and weaker yellow enemies with headshots.

With a clean shot to their head they are one-shot dead (at least on middle difficulty) so this should not be too hard. You'll know when you've killed them with a headshot as their head literally "pops" and you hear a little pop sound.


Edit:
As some people mentioned in the comments their tracker only would go up if the grunts run around after they shot their eyes off. So if you seem to have issues with regular headshots this could be the reason.

Sometimes they run and shoot around for a few seconds after their eyes pop. Watch out for this animation, as this could be the effective way to this achievement instead of regular headshots.

Thanks for this, I thought it was from stabbing them in the eye with good ol' knifey.

The tracking stopped for me at 20%. I’ve easily stabbed 50 eyeballs 👀

I made the same mistake, its not stabbing, its shooting them so its eyes pop...

I found that the headshots only went up if i fired from the hip, with kenny, and the grunts after being shot ran around wildly shooting for a few seconds before falling over dead. Only way the tracker moved

I've got my tracker up to 90% and it hasn't moved since. I usually get 1 or 2 pops per fight and it hasn't gone up and I'm on the last boss now. I'm hoping it will just pop due the tracking being off, but otherwise is it worth starting a new save?

I was wondering why my tracker didn’t went up. I thought popping the eyes with the knife when they are grey ( so you get an animation where you put your knife in their eye and “pop” it out ) was needed.
Wow , that was a waste of time then if simple headshots will do.

This achievement ist buggy AF.
I’ve popped out hundreds of eyes but it is stuck at 90%.
I’m now on my second playthrough with a new save but the bar is not moving 🙄

It does seem to require them to not die instantly. Like above user said, whenever they run around without their eye for a bit, the tracker goes up. Not sure what triggers that.

I'm pretty sure stabbing them in the eyeball works too. I actually thought it was what I needed to do.

Stabbing and head shots don't seem to track it

I started out using Kenny thinking the other was too unreliable but turns out Sweezy is the best one for the job especially on story mode where they die really easy Sweezy's crystals do less damage so although they're hard to be accurate with simply just shoot & odds are that you'll hit the eye without killing them, good luck 🤞

If you stuck at some certain percentage try to play the game on another platform to activate the counter, like if you are stucked on PC then try to play on Xbox console. This solved my problem, my progression was stucked at 95%.

Just got it, I 100% think it's the running around after being shot as that's what the grunt did for me. Well that and stabbing the actual eye and popping it out.
After it got stuck for me I had been doing general headshots with the eye coming out but no luck. It took the grunt running around after to get the last one.

I think it's both stabbing the eye so you pull it out and them running around after being shot. Bit silly to make it so specific not just having the eyes come out.

That was the only thing that worked for me too

Progress stops tracking when you quit the game. Start a new game in a different save slot, once you acquire Kenny, 4 grunts will spawn from the first drop ship. Farm here and keep reloading the check point. Progress will not start to show until you reach whatever percentage you are at. So, if you are showing 25%, then the first few kills will not show until you start getting more than that. And yes, when you shoot the eye out, they need to start running around for it to count.

So there has now been an Update, that is said to have fixed the issue with not tracking the progress for this achievement correctly. For anyone who still needs this one could give it another try now.
good luck everyone!

Achievement is still glitched for me stuck at 95% , had to go back through for some achievements I missed (lost internet connection during the boss and so didn't unlock the achievement) on my 2nd play through and I've popped out hundreds of eyes and at least 50 of them have had the animation where they run around. Can't wait to 980G this game....

I quit from the game after a hour or so and progress stopped tracking. Read about the issue here and the next time I found those eyeball monsters (the arena of Douglas) I began to restarting checkpoint after killing the first 6 or so eyeball monsters. I had my tracker out and it didn't budge from 23%. Then it suddenly popped after 3 or so reloads.

Just got it after farming in Douglas' area, it's not just the eye popping out, you want to listen for a specific pop sound with it, that's when it counts.

this was bugged for me, i had to restart the game as i had missed a cheevo, on the 1st lvl when coming out of the space ship after getting the warp crystal there were a load of Grunts with the eyeballs to shoot, i killed just the grunts by shooting them in the head, they ran around like chickens, reloaded the checkpoint rinse and repeated, the cheevo popped and wasnt bugged

previous comments are correct. you have to shoot just above their eye to make it pop off their body and they run around for a second. the achievement unlocked for me soon after doing that a few times.

thx to everyone for pointing out your issues with this. I've put the hint with the running around animation in the solution as this seems to be the most pointed out way this worked for you guys.
Still trying to find the 100% correct way to track this and I'll watch out for every comment and then try to get the solution as good as possible. So every comment and help is apreciated.

Easy accumulative achievement that you should earn over time. All you need to do is headshot the small yellow Grunts that have one large eye. If hit correctly the eye should then pop out. You'll find an abundance of Grunts on each bounty level and you can also revisit a world to farm more.

The achievement tracking seems a little off with this one - it was more like 30-40 headshots/pops to eventually unlock it. I was on my third bounty when it eventually popped.

This achievement is surprisingly easy. Popping Grunt eyeballs is the equivalent of getting a headshot on the grunts (short & stubby enemies). Given just how many grunts you encounter throughout the duration of the storyline you'll quickly find yourself getting this achievement!

Grunts are the shorter yellow cyclops enemies. Hitting them with headshots will cause their eyeball to pop out and they will run around shooting wildly for a moment before dying. You need to do this 20 times. Despite the knife animation literally ripping their eyeball out, this does not count toward the achievement.
