How to unlock the Over-Amped achievement in Sunset Overdrive - Definitive Guide

After playing through a full game of Chaos Mode, you end up with a slot machine.
The slot machine has 5 slots; Each slot is unlocked depending on the score you receive at the end of the full game.
Eg, first one is free, second 20k, third 200k, fourth 1million, fifth 45million scores.
(these were example numbers - the numbers will vary depending on which map you are playing as well.)

Once it calculated how many slots you have earnt, it spins them all.
There is a small chance of gaining an amp upgrade, most of the time it is dollars or overdrive.

This is very much a luck based achievement but the better you/your group does in the game the more spins your receive.

I have now got this achievement, and can confirm I received it from upgrade in 3 spin slot. I received Bounce-Splosion Lvl 2) - which is an Epic Amp)
Then got another amp 2 games later in 4th slot.(Bear Force One Lvl 2).
Can also confirm second slot gave amp.
Still have not seen free amp in first slot.

Fiatim confirmed that the prizes from slots are already calculated at the end of the match, so the achievement will pop just before you get to the slots screen.

Yeah no one had put anything up, so decided to clear it up a little...
also found out you can gain weapons & clothing from this as well, picked up the hairspray bomb weapon, that saved me some overdrive :)

Does anybody know if it is truly random or is it based on the slot you get? Because I got better things in the higher slots. Always cash & overdrive in the first two, clothing and weapon upgrades in the third and fourth and got the amp upgrade in the fifth.

Hi Guys, I had all the amps before trying for this achievement. If I haven't got any amps to unlock I won't be able to achieve this?

Yes you will, i had all amps before starting chaos mode also. it will actually give you level 2 amps for most of them. You will still be able to get this achievement.

Also... is it something I get like immediately after a spin? Or do I have to do something else? When did it pop for you all?

Look at any of your amps you have.. and the icon is the same as those.
Pops straight away.
As i said.. when you play gambling/slot machines.. its luck based.. took me around 12games. I had 2 matches at 5 slots, even a match at 1 slot. (got added into a match in the final minutes) it doesnt make a difference as long as you have at least 2 slots (yet to confirm on 1 slot)

So it doesn't matter the map either? I could get it in the first area, or do i have a better chance at like Harbor, or Downtown?

I was just told on here that you need to unlock all 5 boxes in order to get it... That's not true is it? When you got it on your 2nd, 3rd, slot did you have unlocked all 5 slots?

Sorry for asking so many questions :( You have idea how annoying this cheevo has been for me :(

Just got this third slot, first area. What I did notice is that it popped before I got to the slots screen.

Did you have all 5 slots open up and just get it on the 3rd, or was the 3rd your max?

... Finally got it. After about 60 chaos squad missions, it popped. I noticed it popped right when I was getting the points, not when the wheel was turning. Unlocked on the fourth wheel spin (4th was the max I had for that session). Thank you for sticking around and replying to me though! Appreciated!

YW. glad you finally got it :) 60 missions = about 12 games.. :).. 10-12 full games seems to be a magic number for a lot of ppl.
Yep definitely calculates your winnings before you actually see the wheels spinning.

Thanks for all the extra info. I haven't played Chaos Squad yet & was a little worried as I've already unlocked all the amps.

I can confirm that you can receive the amp in the first slot. However, I did finish first on my team and unlocked all five spins.

I'm assuming each player gets their own item on the spin as I unlocked this mid chaos squad (Terrible delay which is standard) after our third match and I wasn't paying attention to what I was getting but nobody else unlocked it.

This is what i got in a few of the matches i have played
Weapon+ in first slot (i think this may be a free level up for that weapon) in the second slot a weapon (hairspray bomb for free) and then 5000 overdrive in third..
In another match i received $125, clothing and clothing.
In another match $5000, 1000 over drive, 1000 over drive and then a piece of clothing.
I have yet to get to the fifth slot as randoms don't always pick the highest %chaos available. (missed the achievement by 2% when they picked 25% instead of the 50%. GRRR)
But yeah completely random. - If i find out anything more though i will update the achievement but people who were in the sessons and got an amp were lower on the leaderboards than me for each match (i was always top 3)
So yeah my best slot so far has been slot 2 - which gave me the hairspray bomb weapon for free saving me i think it was around 90k overdrive.

I've done this for the last 3 days... gotten 4 slots like 4 times, 3 slots like 10, and the rest are normally what I get and nothing.

What does it look like? All I've seen are money, Overdrive, clothing, and weapon upgrades. Is the amp upgrades in the weapon upgrades panel, or something new entirely?

This is SOOOOOO annoying.

No I meant it was 60 chaos squad missions in total... It has a number as like 45 successful chaos nights, but I failed a LOT of the 1625 ones, so I don't think that number is recorded after a play session. So I just guess around 15 failed attempts to get to 60 overall. So 300 missions, 60 games. :(
I've been doing this for like 6 days straight :-D

An extra tip to increase the likelihood of getting an amp upgrade is to play chaos squad in the first district (Old Factory).

This district is the easiest and quickest one to get through. Equip a powerful weapon, ideally a level 5 hairspray bomb with the second amendment attachment for ammo replenishment. Also equip overdrives to increase OD damage.

In each mini game pick the one with most chaos points as this increases your overall score at the end. I believe 100 chaos points doubles score (100% score increase).

Also go the the objectives on each stage as they double or quadruple your score on each mission.

With the upgraded hairspray bomb you should be able to secure many kills especially in the final defence mission which should lead to a 1st or 2nd placing in the team.

If you play through the whole match (5 mini games plus night defence) along with completed objectives you may get over 40,000,000 points which unlocks 5 spins at the end.

This is essentially 4 chances (apparently amps cannot be won on the 1st slot) to unlock an amp. If you unlock an amp upgrade the achievement will unlock at the score calculation screens and the upgrade itself appears as a black/white icon on the slot machine.

This isn't guaranteed but is an efficient way of getting the most spins per match. I managed to get an amp upgrade after 23 completed matches and unlocked on the 5th spin.

I must be very lucky then. I just managed to play chaos for the first time today, finished 4th, and got an amp.
