How to unlock the Beat the Dev achievement in Sunset Overdrive - Definitive Guide

This achievement is a lot easier than it looks. All you need to do is beat a players score within your Choas Squad game. To know if someone has it, look if they have a skull with two swords crossing to make an x by their name on the lobby leaderboard.

It'll be easier if you have fully leveled up weapons and are somewhat familiar to how chaos squad works. The oil rig only has 3 missions before the night defense. It's also worth noting that this can be achieved regardless if you beat the night defense or not.

Edit: As a lot of people have been claiming, this achievement will pop if you have the dlc or not, if the requirements are met. So if you don't feel like buying the dlc or wanted to wait for whatever reason, be careful when playing chaos mode.

I can confirm that this achievement is still obtainable. I'm out of daily scan so it hasn't refreshed on TA yet, but I just unlocked it a few minutes ago. In a full, public lobby. I did have to do it twice, though.

This should viral pretty fast during the day. Luckily it's a 8 player mode to help make it viral faster.

Just got it on old factory district so I can confirm it doesn't have to be the DLC stage.

Did the old factory distract, at the end of the match it popped just as the placements appeared on screen, 1st in my case. The person with the skull came in 7th so everyone above him earned it. From this and the fact that though I beat him in each mission within the match it looks like its your final score that counts.

I'm starting to think the logo appear if you beat the new chaos squad level. I'm not sure because I didn't have it and when I beat the guy who had it, achievement unlocked. It was the same game me and The Allslayer was in. (Reconginzed his name after I saw that he had a TA account.)

It only unlocked after I played the regular missions and then finished the final mission. We lost, but everyone unlocked the achievement and had their icons enabled.

Well, damn. I honestly don't know how you can tell now. Luckily with more people playing it'll become an easy viral.

How is this shady? Its a title update "DLC" with only one achievement.

Unlocked for me without DLC as well. Just saying: Old Factory area map is easiest to get this once you get the hang of the missions. I was 2nd on my first try, first on my second try. (Most people who are first at some point have the achievement. You know when a person has the achievement by the gas mask logo before their name.)

So, again: DLC is NOT needed! It's one of those achievements you get eventually. It's just like the GTA IV achievement where you kill a person that killed a Rockstar developer.

Pretty sure they shut down the online portion of the game. If I’m not mistaken

Nah, not officially I don't think. The servers are just in total garbage shape so it's incredibly hard to actually connect.

It was this same way about the same time last year as well when I did the online.

@NightHawk Nah, the logo means you have the dev achievement I'd been playing chaos squad for a couple hours and beat the map every time. Plus I was the only person that didn't get the logo at the end of the first game because I joined late and didn't beat his score. It seems to be a little glitchy, I've been in games where people that beat the score didn't get it and I've also been in games where people that didn't beat the score got it.

Why is this achievement flagged as discontinued? Yes it has been over a month (at the time of this writing) since the recent winner of this achievement (25 October), but I don't believe it to be THAT dead....

This achievement is viral. The "Beat the Dev" achievement is from the original game and you will know when a player has this achievement as they will have a skull and cross bones like symbol next to their name in the lobby. To unlock this achievement, you will need to score higher than any player in the lobby with this symbol next to their name. 

To be in with a chance of scoring high points, you will need to pay attention to the mission and the bonus objectives. Lead the pack when it comes to getting to each mission and always play the mission objective as well as making sure to complete each mission and the final night defense. 

This achievement is, by it's nature, becoming increasingly common and should not pose much of a problem. If you are struggling to unlock it, you can always consult the achievement boosting thread, Here.

Note that this achievement can be earned in any of the Chaos modes, including the Chaos modes from the original game.
