EDIT: The achievement has now been fixed and is currently unlocking!
This achievement is for playing 20 missions at night.
It seems quite random as to whether or not you will get a night cycle, but here's what I did:
Load up an expedition (free roam, any difficulty)
Choose any character and ready up
Choose Laita Plains as your insertion point and deploy in
Get into a drop pod and drop down
Check to see if there is any light or not and quit out
Repeat until the achievement unlocks
If it was night, you'll get 5% added towards the completion of this achievement. Note it is completely random though and for me it took over 50 attempts before I got to the 20 missions needed

You have to go to extract point or simply quit the game?

i like the maze runner reference
By LaTrickster2 on 29 Apr 2021 00:16
@GallopingTag978 I just hopped out of the pod and ran around for a couple of seconds before quitting out first to be sure, but yeah just quitting should work.
@Want2CtrlF4 It's actually a reference to the movie Aliens :)
By Banana Abroad on 29 Apr 2021 00:26
never seen aliens, the maze runner must've been referencing that, so its a double reference haha
By LaTrickster2 on 29 Apr 2021 00:55
^ stop playing this game, go pick up Aliens and watch it IMMEDIATELY. Anyone who hasn't seen Aliens may be a threat to national security.

When you do the training mission and they let the dinosaurs in, i let the wife know that "they're coming out of the goddamn walls"

ALIENS FIRETEAM is announced to release summer 2021. I doubt it though.
I love how you all keep talking about ALIEN. Some of my favorite movies.
The little girl Newt (Rebecca) said "They mostly come out at night... mostly".

I kept spawning at vulture bay, it was night every time I spawned there.
By leventdepevent on 01 May 2021 09:14
Can you quit and it‘ll count towards the achievement or do you have to exfil?
The counter goes up immediately, no need for exfil.
As for Newt, “Why don’t you put her in charge!”
By EldritchSS on 07 May 2021 01:21
You always say that, Frost. You always say 'I gotta bad feeling about this drop.'
Okay, when we get back without ya... I'll call yer folks.

Nuke em from orbit, only way to be sure.

Two minutes, people. Get hot!
... somebody wake up Hicks!

I only need 1 more night mission, but the RNG gods have forsaken me.
31 35 45 55 65 deploys in a row, 0 night missions... This is insane, I give up lol
By SunkenStyx on 01 Jul 2021 15:56
The recent season update must have broke something. There's no statistical chance that I've deployed 70 times now, with zero night missions showing up
By SunkenStyx on 02 Jul 2021 18:32
By Lythiris on 02 Jul 2021 19:34
I submitted a bug report, hopefully they patch it
By SunkenStyx on 03 Jul 2021 17:00
I went ahead and submitted a report too. Also got a few friends to do the same. Have they responded to you Sunken?
By RyanMpwnz on 04 Jul 2021 14:48
No response yet, I assume it’ll take a couple days
By SunkenStyx on 04 Jul 2021 17:14
Did a report as well, hopefully it will bring it to their attention faster if more people report the issue.
By Namonakio on 07 Jul 2021 18:15
no unlocks since July 1st. something is definitely broken
By Redsleey on 08 Jul 2021 21:40
Just commenting to get updated, no night missions here for a long time, been on 50% for ages.
By Serious X Devil on 15 Jul 2021 18:59
Has anyone heard back from them yet?
By SunkenStyx on 16 Jul 2021 12:22
I exchanged a few messages with them. They asked me what I felt caused the issue and how to fix it and whatnot. This was maybe like a week and a half ago. The last thing they sent me was thanks for notifying them and since our email exchange that multiple people had reported the same issue. They said they didn’t have any sort of idea when the issue would be fixed but they are looking into it. It’s a little sketchy to me because there is a “known bug” section on the games website and it hasn’t even been updated since we all have messaged them. Think the last update was a month ago. Oh well.
By RyanMpwnz on 16 Jul 2021 18:23
Well I dont know if this seems shady or not, but on their website they posted a next patch update with known issues and issues that are going to be fixed. Despite all of us messaging them, they didn’t seem to care enough to even list it as a known bug at all. Feels crappy to me.

I wrote into support about this as well. The night missions will be coming back. Right now the event going on is the Longest Days Preseason theme. Emphasis being on days ... Night missions should come back after the end of this current Pre-Season.
By SnipedByAGir1 on 26 Jul 2021 05:47
so that's not until at least the 1st September thenwhen the next season is out
By DeadlyDom21 on 31 Jul 2021 21:02
:( i hope they fix i had this nearly finished >.<
By LIFTY187um on 12 Aug 2021 13:34
So SnipedByAGir1 is right, night time missions will not be restored until the new seasonal update comes out in September. I just got an email back from my reported bug. We cannot do anything until then.
By Lzk Enigma on 24 Aug 2021 03:42
I just checked the season and Longest Days has been expanded upon until Oct 1st, in what I can only describe as a colossal dick move if it remains the case.
By Balarush on 01 Sep 2021 15:07
Wish I got the achievement a lot earlier now, Guess the waiting continues.
By Serious X Devil on 01 Sep 2021 23:50
We've had two new people unlock it though, strange. I've dropped in ~40 times today and yesterday with no night missions yet just to see if it's possible.
By PseudoPsychoMan on 03 Sep 2021 11:31
yeah, I started drops after I saw someone popped it on the 1st, but have not been able to get any progress either after about 20 drops.
By Redsleey on 03 Sep 2021 16:18
Apparently, the new Pre-Season's release date is TBD. If that's the case, October 1st is just a placeholder date.
By Ale386 on 04 Sep 2021 23:01
By Bonien2 on 17 Sep 2021 14:49
Well good news! I am starting to get night once the update went live, as well as the patch notes saying it’s back to normal.
By RyanMpwnz on 30 Sep 2021 14:46
Yep this achievement is back on now...
Edit: Unlocked as of date of this message
