In the game there are "profiles," which are basically skillsets that you can pick and choose moves from. It's just like the class system in the other games, except now you can invest points however you want and aren't limited to the class you chose.

There are seven profiles to choose from, with skill point requirements to unlock each of them. You won't be able to unlock this really early into the game since you'll need to level up a few times, but it is still very easy to get. I unlocked it within three hours of play time, for reference.

Anyway, here are the profiles and requirements:
Soldier [6 Points invested in Combat]
Engineer [6 Points invested in Technology]
Adept [6 Points invested in Biotics]
Sentinel [3 Points invested in Technology & Biotics]
Vanguard [3 Points invested in Combat & Biotics]
Infiltrator [3 Points invested in Technology & Combat]
Explorer [3 Points invested in Combat, Technology, & Biotics]

Once you have enough points invested to have three different profiles unlocked at Level 1, simply change your equipped profile three times. You will most likely unlock this achievement simply trying different playstyles.

This won't pop for me either despite equipping over 3 different profiles and even trying them from the favorite slots

By Shaneanigens on 28 Jun 2017 15:48

I do not know if anyone else is having this problem, but no matter what this cheevo will not unlock. I have done a new game, a new game +, I have equipped profiles to favorites, I have uninstalled then reinstalled, etc. Does anybody have a possible solution?

Same issue here. Should have unlocked weeks ago.

By ShatterLSS on 12 May 2017 21:14

same issue here, please contact EA and tell them your problem, they tried telling me it was my xbox that was the issue but after hours of speaking with microsoft support and doing loads of unnecasary resets etc they said its def the game not my xbox, the more people that tell EA the better chance of having it fixed

By Nozzzaa on 17 May 2017 19:39

Didn't pop for me either. Definitely glitches.

By YUNG RYAN 88 on 21 Aug 2017 18:14

Thanks XXXICenturyMatt for giving a breakdown of how to fix the bug. Worked a charm! :D

By Mama Berry on 16 Oct 2017 10:43

BIG props and thumbs up to XXXICenturyMatt for the fix! I tried it this morning, and I was able to pop the achievement AND preserve my game save. You win the internets today, my friend. Well done.

By Rengrave on 11 Nov 2017 00:23

Fix worked for me as well. Don't know if I was just being dumb or what but at lvl 3 I only had 7 skill points )1 already being in combat skill) and so I was only able to unlock 2 profiles before having to run down to the respec station to put enough into another. Still, the achievement unlocked and even after being online with the new save for a few minutes, I was able to delete it offline and keep my original save intact.

By Shaneanigens on 24 Dec 2017 00:15

XXXICenturyMatt just worked for me too just now. Big thanks 🤙🏻😁

By Lizarddd x on 31 Jan 2018 20:58

I'll try the workaround later since I'm not getting the achievement either.

By Apostle92627 on 24 Feb 2018 15:25

Thanks XXXICenturyMatt,but the achievement not unlocked a couple of seconds later,after about 5 to 8 minutes when i play another game,the achievement pop

By JWallace424 on 17 May 2018 00:29

Thanks XXXICenturyMatt. That worked for me though it popped 10 mins later on the dashboard.

By Purple Hoody on 29 Jun 2018 06:24

Thank you XXXICenturyMatt! One difference was I had to play until lvl 4 to be able to have enough points to put 3 in Combat/Biotics/Tech. Starting a new game from scratch and then equipping the 3 profiles didn’t unlock the achievement immediately so I was wary about deleting my local save again after it took about 1.5 hours to get to level 4 but went ahead anyways. Let it sync my cloud data again and loaded my real save data and equipped all my profiles and still nothing. After standing idle in-game for about 5 mins, the achievement finally unlocked.

By xNeo21x on 19 Jul 2018 02:34

You only need 2 points in each for Explorer.

By HolyHalfDead on 15 Mar 2020 09:01

The method above by XXXICenturyMatt still works. Just successfully unlocked it 2 and a half years after playing it the first time. I should add that I went to level 4 as well to get enough skill points to get 4 Profiles just in case Soldier didn't count as it was already unlocked. Doing all the side quests meant that I got to level 4 just after landing on Eos and getting the Nomad.

By LoHiT0709 on 22 Jan 2021 09:39

XXXICenturyMatt's method worked for me also, as others have noted, had to get to level 4, the achievement took about 5 minutes to pop so just ran around till it did

By C Frizzady Diz on 09 May 2021 14:15

Appears to be bugged for me too. Update 1.10 just went live, but I haven't checked yet to see if it is fixed. Probably not. =(

I'll contact EA customer service as Nozzzaa suggests.

By Rengrave on 02 Aug 2017 23:44

I had this achievement glitch and managed to unlock it by doing the following:

* I went into network settings and disconnected from Xbox Live

* I went to manage game and deleted my local save file (not the cloud save, not that you can while offline anyway)

* While still offline I started the game - without any save data it was like starting it for the first time

* I played from the beginning long enough to get to level 3 so I could put 3 points into combat, biotics, and tech, unlocking four of the profiles

* While still running the game and before equipping any of the profiles at all, I reconnected to Xbox Live, since achievements won't unlock while offline

* I quickly and without even leaving the menu equipped each of the profiles one after another, achievement finally unlocked a couple of seconds later

* Lastly to be safe with the game *still running* I disconnected from Live and deleted my local save again - normally your local save is synced with the cloud when the game exits and the whole point of this mess is to preserve my original save

* And so when I reconnected to Live and rebooted the game it downloaded my original cloud save, bringing me back to where I started but with this darn achievement unlocked

Be careful if you try this, I did it after unlocking everything else in case I lost my main save, though fortunately that didn't happen. Good luck.

Profiles unlock when you put enough points into certain skill trees. By the time you have access to the Tempest and are on your first planet, you should have the necessary skill points available to apply them into your skill trees and unlock Profiles. You will most likely need to be Level 4-5 to have enough skill points to do this. After your third profile is successfully unlocked, you will need to select the profile to 'equip' it. Doing so for 3 different profiles will unlock this.

Profiles are basically this game's version of the previous trilogy's classes. You will choose one profile type during character creation, so you will only need to unlock two more. Basically, once you put enough points into a specific tree (Combat, Biotic, or Tech) or combination of trees you will unlock a profile that will give bonuses to abilities in that tree, or abilities that will work with a hybrid build. The profiles and requirements are:

Soldier: 6 Combat Points
Engineer: 6 Tech Points
Adept: 6 Biotic Points
Sentinel: 3 Tech and 3 Biotic Points
Vanguard: 3 Combat and 3 Biotic Points
Infiltrator: 3 Combat and 3 Tech Points
Explorer: 3 Combat, 3 Tech, and 3 Biotic Points

The more points you put into specific skill trees, the higher your profile rank will increase (though this achievement only requires the basic rank of three total). If you go all Combat for instance, you will get the biggest bonuses to the Soldier profile as it ranks up, but not unlock any other profiles. Once you unlock three profiles, make sure you go into the menu and equip each one quickly to trigger the achievement.

This trophy can only be earned in single player.

Profiles give you special stat bonuses and abilities during single player mode. You can unlock more profiles by investing skills points in the different skill trees (Combat, Biotics, and Tech).

Unlike previous games, you can equip any unlocked profile at any given moment. This can be done by pressing the Options button and going into the Profiles menu.

Requirements for Unlocking all Profiles:

1. Soldier - Need 6 points in Combat Skill tree.
2. Engineer - Need 6 points in Tech Skill tree.
3. Adept - Need 6 points in Biotic skill tree.
4. Sentinel - Need 3 skill points each in Biotic and Tech skill trees.
5. Vanguard - Need 3 skill points each in Combat and Biotic skill trees.
6. Infiltrator - Need 3 skill points each in Combat and Tech skill trees.
7. Explorer - Need 2 skill points each in Combat, Biotic, and Tech skill trees.

Once you unlock 3 different profiles, equip each one to unlock this trophy.

You don’t even have to play with each one - just switch between the three open profiles in the corresponding menu

I don't know how this magic works and what ultimately helped. Domestic and Western forums cannot give unambiguous advice. But I: started a new game, went to the storage on Eos (because it’s unlikely to work before), deleted the game, deleted all saves except the last one, reinstalled the game, turned off the Internet, loaded the last save, saved, turned on the Internet and then clicked on the profiles - and the trophy fell out. In general, it's a fucking random thing, but maybe it will help someone.

Today, June 30, 2017, I contacted technical support, they officially stated that I am not the first to be so offended and that yes, the trophy is buggy and may not appear, fortunately, there is no simpler trophy. In short, I solved the problem with the bug - I simply manually deleted ALL saves except the last one from the disk - and hurray

in your pocket, in case it helps someone)))
