How to unlock the Don't Panic achievement in Saints Row IV: Re-Elected - Definitive Guide

EDIT 9/9/2015: People are reporting that these achievements are now unlocking normally!

This is a possible solution to unlocking both this achievement and Ghost in the Machine if they are glitched for you. As a heads up, this will only work if you have a physical copy of the game because it relies on being able to play without the patch being installed.

1. Disconnect from the internet and delete your save data. Make sure to select "only delete from console" if you want to be able to keep your saves.

2. Delete the game and DLC. You don't have to delete anything Gat Out Of Hell related.

3. Re-install the game. Make sure you are still disconnected from the internet and do not install the patch.

4. Play through the game until you complete the missions that the achievements have glitched for you. I would recommend playing slightly farther just to make sure you pass the point where the achievement would normally unlock.

5. Save the game and hit the home button and then quit from the main dash.

6. Reconnect to the internet and download the update for the game.

During the update the achievements should pop. They probably won't pop together and probably wont pop right at the beginning of the update. For me they popped about a minute apart or so after the download hit 3% but it might take a longer or shorter time.

Huge shout out to "Monty BUCS FAN" over at xboxachievements.com who is the person I got the method from.

Thanks for bringing the guide to this site. It worked a treat for me and I never deleted my save files I just uninstalled the game. Just use a new save position for your new game.

Fantastic, this actually unlocked for me as soon as I reconnected my internet. When I went to relaunch the game it requested the update, however the achievements by then. clap

Was looking for "The Real World" in my finished quest list. I played through to the end of the game and it still wasn't there. Might want to note that this mission is listed under "The Escape." Other than that, this guide worked perfectly for unlocking these glitched achievements. Thank you!

Is it possible to do by loading saves just prior to where it glitched?

It's an issue that's been brought up to Volition. They released a patch recently that was supposed to remedy the 2 achievements that were glitched, but even the patch was broken and still leaves 1 achievement glitched. They're working on it as far as I know

This appears to now be fixed. I got a message about my completion of Saints Row today. The achievement however is dated 13-Jun so this appears to be a retrospective fix.

i think im just going to replay and create a save point before the real world mission and hope it pops without having to delete and reinstall because my main story only needs 3% super sprint and 10 more hours in the simulation

I unlocked it last night on the digital version of the game in a solo campaign. My friend who was also playing on a disc based version unlocked it as well. So it would APPEAR to be fixed.

I love these un-missables that don't unlock. Makes me wonder if TellTale Games had a hand in this.

Edit: Ah, thank goodness, it popped about 10 minutes after quitting the game.

It's fucking 2020 and this shit is still bugged. It never popped for me back in 2017 when i started this. replaying from a fresh save did nothing. yet somehow a friend i bought the game for, his achievement unlocked just fine.

edit: this dumb achievement popped today at random. 3/21/20

I didnt even realise it didnt unlock for me, so i went back, replayed it and it unlocked, no problem, one issue i do have is a blast from the past cheevo, completeing a game of clones, it says 100%, should just unlock right as it hasnt so far?

This is an addition to the excellent solution above by The 7imekeeper (I used his method perfectly).

To save you replaying the game, his method also works if you load a saved game from just before the mission.

In my situation, I had two glitch. This and the ghost one.

I saved before each mission, and when it didn't pop when I passed the mission I carried on and finished the game normally. I was using the digital version, so had to buy the retail version to do it, but Once finished I followed the above method, except;

Instead of starting a new game, I loaded the save from just before the mission 'The Escape', did it, updated and it popped.

If the Ghost in the Machine also glitched for you , this method will save you five hours of replaying if you remember to make and keep a separate save, as a new game isn't required,

Lavindathar, are you saying you started the digital version, saved at certain points, bought the physical version, deleted the digital version but kept your saves, and loaded your saves against an unpatched physical version?

Or did you play through the physical version from the beginning?

Yes that's what I did. Digital then physical.

Did you keep your saves from the digital version, and were you able to reload those same saves against the physical version?

Yes, I kept my digital saves from just before each missio n that glitched. Uninstalled digital, installed physical offline with no patch, loaded digital saves, did mission, connected, achievement popped.
