I'm so frustrated. I replayed the mission, only got around 48k, no achievement. Yeah I know. You don't need 48k apparently, well, it didn't unlock for me. So, I did it again, sorting out my overdrives and weapons for best score. Got 63k. Achievement says Done... Unlocking. I thought "Ok, it'll pop soon". I went and wrote a comprehensive guide as to what to do, how to score 50k, if that is required. Immediately got voted down. Because I hadn't popped the cheev maybe? I don't know. Shit, I'm only trying to help. Deleted the guide anyway. Rebooted the game, still says Done... unlocking. Replayed the mission again. No dice. Rebooted my console, replayed the mission. Still shit outta luck. Extremely annoying. Any advice?

I actually scored below 50,000 when replaying this mission but it might be possible that i earned 50,000 the first time around and all I needed to do was replay the mission.

You probably only have to replay it, as a joke

@Ozzpot it's a common thing, you just simply need to wait for the servers to catch up. It is not like the 360 where it was your console, it is now the servers. It sucks sometimes, but you have it at least :)

I guess the joke is that you don't have to hit 50k? You just have to beat the level again.

Interesting. 1 question for you all, has anybody not gotten this achievement from simply replaying the mission the first time? Has anybody actually had to retry the mission after failing to reach 50k?

My guess is, this the the Aprils fool joke that you will get the achievement no matter the score. I got 51k.

Well, achievement seems glitched now, I got 13:20 under par time, and 50202 score, the achievements didn't unlock. I actually replayed twice, both meet the requirements, it doesn't work. So frustrating.

You need to beat the par time of 15 minutes, score doesn't matter.

How far into the game do you have to be to get this mission? I just did the thruster train mission and I don’t see it in my log anywhere

It's clear the solution was an Aprils fool joke, especially with the achievement he linked with it

Solution writer should really remove reference to 50,000 points. I'm not sure what the standard for par was originally, but currently in only refers to time to complete the mission and not points.

The achievement appears to have been changed. I got only 47k points and still obtained this and upon reading the description, it says beat it under par time.

So either they fooled us again haha or they updated it secretly. Either way, you only need to beat this mission in under 15 minutes. Without even realizing that was what I was going for, I beat it in 13 minutes. So just playing through and killing everything quickly, you should have no trouble getting this achievement along with:

Do you know if the unlock on this achievement can be delayed? Just did this, beat it in 13 minutes and neither achievement unlocked.

I did in my first try, is really easy. The secret is use the Hair Spray Bomb on level 5 with Second Amendment amp to defend the boat. Just shoot on enemies while jumping for the sides to catch the garbage for boat and destroy the bridge controllers as fast as possible.

Because you already had 50,000 from playing it before this was out.

Maybe that's the reason for the April's fool achievement... Maybe you don't need to make the 50,000 points... ;-)

Mine unlocked at 38,000 - so I suggest the neg voters need to change as the solution is indeed correct.

This achievement is unlocked for replaying the Floating Garbage mission. The mission consists of following your ship around while defending it from OD and healing it with trash.

Work on killing the OD to help prevent damage to the ship (I recommend the Hair Spray Bomb with Second Amendment for everything but the Wingers; use the Propain Launcher on the Wingers). Make sure to be quick on the bridges to help prevent damage to the ship and to progress through the level quickly. Stay mobile and don't just grind around on the ship.

If you scored above 50,000 on a previous playthrough of the mission, merely completing the mission will unlock the achievement.
