How to unlock the VIPs Only! achievement in Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 - Definitive Guide

Hey everyone!

What you need to do in order to unlock this achievement is simple enough : go to your multiplayer portal. Doesn't matter what side you're on or what class you're playing.

Choose Private play.

Choose any mode, any map, any difficulty, what really matters is that you need to activate anything in Crazy Settings. Doesn't matter what.

Choose activate portal, go through, once the match starts, the achievement will pop!

Remember : a lot of progress towards achievements and quests (!) can be done in Private Play, meaning you, ir you and your friends with AI team against another AI team.

Hope this helps! Have fun!

P.S. This private play is an amazing innovation for Garden Warfare!!!

Thanks, didnt know I needed the Craazy Settings.

The combination of Private Play and Daily Quests has turned this into a one or two-player (splitscreen) game for me.

Did you follow step by step? Oh, and does it maybe show some kind of connection error?

I played like 3 games this morning doing what you said. Nothing popped, still unlocked in my list. Going to try again right now.
Edit:-Still nothing. I chose random maps and modes in the morning and turned on ALL the Crazy settings. Now, I just activated 2 Crazy settings and left the rest as they were. Nothing both times.

Huh...Weird. See the gamer above my last comment? She couldn't unlock it either and didn't bother to come back and update everybody how this eventually worked for her ( she unlocked it ). It seems that there was a similar problem.

I would recommend few things : restarting fully your X-1 ( not in instant turn on mode ). Try to choose Team Vanquish. Just 1 crazy setting. Choose an actual map, doesn't matter which. Maybe some variation will trigger the unlock for you. No desperation, please :)

I'm gonna try your suggestions. The achievement is at 100% now, just doesn't pop (still has the locked icon). Can't quite say what causes it.

In that case maybe you should try to recover your profile and try to unlock it again.

Oh wow. I think you should talk to MS support, there is no other workaround I know of...

Did you turn on some crazy settings?

Nope, nothing crazy. Tried it again, didn't work. It's probably buggy. Oh well, my 10 hour trial is not over so i won't be able to get it in the near future :|

Uhm, Kenny - it says plain simple in the solution above - "Choose any mode, any map, any difficulty, what really matters is that you need to activate anything in Crazy Settings. Doesn't matter what."

Try that again and let me know, alright?

It is pretty simple as stated, just go private and in the crazy settings change something (like unlimited ammo). When you start selecting your character it should pop up

Yes, I tried different set ups, with no luck. I still try it every now and then but oh well... My hope is that I will unlock with the next DLC/Update maybe. Otherwise I just can wait, I guess. Thank you anyways. wink

Still hasnt unlocked until today. I dont really think it is a "done unlocking" thing anymore and it will never unlock.

As soon as I receive my new Internet, I will delete my profile and redownload it and will do the same with the game itself. It is my last hope...

@Mario163, actually, a word of advice - go to GW2 site, sign in EA bla-bla forums and ask one of the support guys about it. There is a way for them to completely delete your data from servers ( leaving items and levels intact*** ) and then you can try this again.

Before doing that, try to delete the game and reinstall it. Try to invite a friend in your backyard and set up private match with some Crazy setting. There are still things you can try! Don't give up!

After almost seven months, this sucker unlocked yesterday.

I got to admit: I dont know what happended. I tried this achievement again like I always do now and then. I received no notification that it unlocked...

A few minutes later I had the 5G added to my gamerscore. The time stamp says 06.09.2016 so this maybe never was a "done! Unlocking" anymore.

However, I am really, really happy about this, even though it was way too late. :)

Well, Mario, I don't know what to say. Third of the players already unlocked the achievement, so it seems that only the "chosen ones" are affected. roll

As before, I would recommend talking to PopCap, they are really nice and if support will understand that something is wrong with that achievement, they'll look into it.

P.S. You played for more than 100 hours, so I presume you know what you're doing. Have you tried different combination of Crazy settings, Team setup, difficulty etc.?

Simplest. Achievement. Ever. All you have to do is go to the Multiplayer Portal, hit Private, add a Crazy Setting, enter the portal, and done. How easy was that?

This achievement requires 1 player only.

Once you spawn in your base, you should see a small orange arcade machine-looking thing next to a non-functional portal.

Press cn_X near the orange machine to boot up a menu.

Select Private Play, then before activating the portal, select Crazy Settings.

Select any crazy setting you want. Keep in mind you have to select at least 1.

After doing all that, press Activate Portal to activate the portal.

Simply walk in the portal and once you get to the character select screen the achievement should pop.

Here's a video:

Go to the Backyard Battleground

Go to your Multiplayer Portal

Choose Private Play

Choose Team Deathmatch on any map and difficulty

Choose Team Setup, scroll zombie team to Zombies : Z7 Invasion (all the zombies will be Z7 imps)

Choose Crazy Settings, Ridiculously Low Health (all characters will have 1 health).

Pick a character that shoots fast, trophy will pop on the first kill and the game will be over fast

(this will also pop the My Favourite Z-Mech on the Citadel trophy)
