How to unlock the Transcendent achievement in Livelock - Definitive Guide

After a few failed runs as Vanguard, I decided to try some new tactics.

Class: Catalyst lvl 30
Weapons: doesn't matter
Functions: Holo image w self destruct, temporal rift with event horizon, drone storm with area denial

Kill as little as possible.

I ran (sprinted, click cn_LS) clockwise around the outside of the arena. The initial bots that show up really couldn't catch or shoot me. After a minute or 2, a few chasers will spawn. Cast temporal rift and keep running. There may be some enemies that spawn later that will dive at you from the sky. Same deal. Temporal rift. Don't go for the kill, just hold them off.

I had maybe a dozen kills when the final achievement popped. I was worried that it might get screwed up because a random connected at around 13, but he died instantly laugh but you might want to run this in private/offline if you are going to use this method.

Edit: if this works, here is a video of my last few minutes of my run.

Worked perfectly. And yeah, those pesky ones that drop down after like 13 minutes to catch you off guard. Just avoid them and keep circling and sprinting.

Cheers.

No problem doing it this way with a Vanguard and dashing when the chasing pack was about to catch up, didn't even need to get a single kill until after the 15 minutes was up, and that was just for the sake of an Upgraded enemy kill

Did this with a 17 catalyst with no use of any functions and no shooting, easier than it seems!

I stuck to the outside of the map and just went in an anti-clockwise rotation.

I did it solo on first try with a level 15 Vanguard, and i'm not even skilled. ;) If i can, anyone can.

Kill some, run away, kill som run way, but run to where there is not much enemies.

Make sure your controller batteries are full before doing this. I ran out of batteries 30 sec before the end and the game does not pause when your controller disconnect. I got killed almost instantly. Was mad as fuck. Lol

Yeah, nice guide, agreed with GuinlceWizard. I also agree with him that this CAN be done on easiest difficulty! I beat all 15 minutes with a level 21 Vanguard no problem.

A few things that I was hoping for was that destructions would add to destructions with the database, but they don't. Also, I was hoping that XP would be gained, but again, it wasn't.

However, what did track was the tracker for the "Scrap Mountain" achievement, so that was good.

This guide is awesome for doing it legit!
I found this really confusing to find the right mode so I wanted to add some clarification.
OP refers to Open Protocol Mode
Survival is a reference to the orange difficulty (Transcendent I think)
The Mission you need to select is Extraction which is a 15 minute countdown

So you want to go into Open Protocol Mode, Extraction and select the hardest (Orange) difficulty. However it still unlocks on Autonomous (Easy) difficulty. Each of the 3 time based achievements unlocks after their respective time has passed, so Unbreakable unlocks with 10 minutes left on the countdown, Indestructible unlocks with 5 minutes left and Transcendent unlocks once the countdown finishes and the drop pod lands.

This looked like it was going to be a pain after the first few attempts. However, you can quite literally just roll around the outside of the map for 15 minutes. Easy peasy.

To add to Soulz1e's guide, if you start in a party of 3, if you die, as long as 1 of the party members remains alive, all 3 of you will get the achievements.

This totally works. My health did go to 50% a couple of times, but I never got overwhelmed. Just watch out for the suicide bombers and the upgraded monsters that can teleport and you should be fine.

I did it on first try in solo by killing the fast enemies, run around, Kill some, run around.

I used a level 15 Vanguard to do it solo.

This achievement is simple and easy. you can do this by yourself or with your friends. If you are doing this by yourself pick the vanguard in protocol mode. if you want to do it with friends, pick two vanguards(or 3 if you want to have fun) and a catalyst. You should be at 15 min in no time

Don't worry about 30 minutes on Endless. Not necessary. It still triggers on PC as of Sept 2020 by picking OP: Extraction - Easy. Just survive the 15 minutes for the extraction and it will pop.

Before you start this, it's worth have the character you'd like to use at level 30 just to make it easier and as the video below shows, Hex is the better option due to certain moves he has. Once that's set and ready, from the main menu select Open Protocol Mode > Endless War.

As the video guide shows. Your best tactic is to move around the outskirts of the map and just kill when needed. Remember to roll out of the way of attacks if needed and if things get a little tricky, just go invisible to help yourself heal. Once the 15 minute marker hits, the final achievement will unlock.

Here is a video tip for playing in single player mode.

Playing in the "Open Protocol: Infinity War" mode.

We play as Hex.
Weapons to taste.
We set the functions to “Active camouflage” and “Ultra speed”.

We run along the edge of the map. We kill small robots with rifles, and burn large ones with Orbital Strike. If they surround you, then use the “Ultra-speed” skill. If you’re pressed hard, then turn on “Active Camouflage” and run in circles while we work on the camouflage charge. Remember, any shot from your weapon breaks your disguise.
