How to unlock the Maximum Effort achievement in Quantum Break - Definitive Guide

For all upgrades you have to collect 60 Chronon Sources. Chronon Sources are part of the over 200 collectibles in the game. The first Chronon Source can you collect in Act 2-1 and the last in Act 5-3.

I will link here the Chronon Sources from my full collectibles vid for each Act. If you prefeer a foren thread then take a look here.

I use a lot of spoiler here for a better overview. In the first spoiler of each act is the video, in the second spoiler the timecode for the chronon sources.

Once I had gathered all Chronon Sources, on Upgrades it said that, 1 more Chronon Source(s) for next Upgrade Point, was required, even though this was not true. I had simply to initiate the process for purchasing the final Upgrade.

If I have missed one (which I have) will I have to play the whole campaign again? Missed one in act 2 as I died and forgot to "recollect" it. It should auto save every time you pick one up. Annoying.

Hmm, one of the Chronon Sources in Act 5 isn't there. It's supposed to be behind Paul's bed, but there's no way to grab it for me.

That first comment is funny. He complains about this guide but it turns out he didn't even play the game or at least not under that GT.

Finding all the Chronon Sources is one of the more annoying collectible tasks I've experienced and I've done a lot of collectibles over the years. You have to be right on top of them for Time Vision to work so you either have to scour every corner of every area or straight up use a guide. Neither option is fun or reasonable. And all the damn lens flare in this game makes spotting them when revealed even worse.

This should be a solution for just the upgrades and not all the collectibles.

Great solution... Sadly I have the dreaded 'Done... Unlocking' error. Very frustrating as I unlocked everything else.

A COMPLETE guide of all 200+ collectibles with timelinks can be found HERE.

The collectibles, including 60 chronon sources required for upgrading time powers, are found within Act 2 through to Act 5. They are found using the time vision ability near them to reveal and collect them.
Upon picking up the last chronon source, you will can buy the last upgrade and be rewarded with the achievement.

You can replay chapters using the timeline at any point, but keep in mind that changing your choices within the Junctions will add new collectibles for you to collect, bringing your percentage down. You can quit to the main menu once you collect them and reach a checkpoint save.

Lastly, use the menu to check "Collectibles" & "Upgrades" where it'll show your collectibles for each Act/Part so you can easily keep progress.

Alternatively, please see this video which is the beginning to the collectibles guide video playlist:

Upon finding all collectibles, you will have the following achievements:

I would suggest starting off with the solution for the upgrades first, and then finishing with the link to the full collectibles. It is kind of irritating when people post guides for several achievements under one and then copy and paste it, which is what it seemed like you did until I read further, espcially because the video is just that.

Hi, after my natural Language is German and i bet more Germans are on this Site i will add my solution in german :)

And plz stop negative Voting just for Language, if the Guide doenst help plz leave a comment so I can fix it!

Nach so vielen englischen Guides möchte ich natürlich auch mit den deutschen nicht nachstehen.

Zum Upgraden benötigt Ihr alle Chrononquellen die über alle Akte verstreut sind, das Spiel hat insgesamt über 200 Sammelobjekte wo und wie Ihr die findet ?

Mit meinen Videos, in der Videobeschreibung sind auch die Zeitangaben zu jedem Sammelobjekt enthalten so dass Ihr direkt zum fehlenden Teil springen könnt

Die erste Chrononquelle findet Ihr in Akt 2














Ich hoffe ich konnte helfen

I didn't vote neg because of the language, I did it because you should be addressing the solution to this acheivement, and not simply spamming a single collectible guide for all achievements involved. sorry. not a good guide for this achievement.

I wrote down the Solution in German that you need all Chronon sources to get all your Timepowers upgraded and then i posted the Vids which include the Timeline for every Chronon source.

That wasnt just spamming the Vids :)

Ich glaube, es wird besser sein, nur ein Playlist zu eintippen. Tut mir Leid, wenn mein Deutsch nicht perfekt ist.

To fully upgrade all of your time powers you will need to get all 60 Chronon Sources in the game. Collecting Chronon Sources will grant you upgrade points. To get into the upgrades menu, press then to access the Diaries & Upgrades menu. You will have all of them by Act 5 Part 3 before you and your brother enter the pool.

  • Time Vision: Active Pulse - 1, Increased Threat Detection - 4, Increased Range - 6
  • Time Stop: Increased Strength - 1, Increased Size - 4, Extra Activation - 6
  • Time Dodge: Increased Focus - 1, Maximum Focus - 4, Extra Activation - 6
  • Time Shield: Recovery - 1, Slow Time - 4, Increased Power - 6
  • Time Blast: Increase Blast Radius - 2, Reduce Cooldown - 6
  • Time Rush: Increased Focus - 2, Multi-Takedown - 6

Refer to “Media Baron” to find all of the locations of the collectibles throughout the game.

Pumping is carried out by collecting temporary waves. All abilities should be upgraded.
I'll add a video with a guide to collecting all the waves .
