How to unlock the Range of Fire achievement in Super Time Force - Definitive Guide

Introduction
The Range of Fire achievement requires you to complete a level after firing at least 7 different charged attacks. Each character in the game has a normal attack (press button X) and a charged attack (hold button X for three seconds and then release). This achievement requires you to have at least 7 different characters. There are 16 total characters in the game, 3 of which are playable from the start. You need to unlock at least 4 more characters to complete this achievement. Additional characters are unlocked by completing certain accomplishments or by finding them and rescuing them in certain levels (see the descriptions below for each character). Once you have 7 characters, you can complete this achievement by firing a charged attack (hold X for three seconds, then release), rewinding time 6 times, choosing a different character each time, and then launching a charged attack again, for each character. Then, once you finish the level, the achievement will pop.

Unlocking Playable Characters
Below is a list of the 16 characters in the game and instructions on how to unlock them.

Available from the Start
1) Jean Rambois
2) Aimy McKillin
3) Shieldy Blockerson

Find and Rescue in a Level
4) Jef Leppard = Epoch 198X; Mission 1
5) Zackasaurus = Epoch 1,000,000 BC; Mission 1
6) Dolphin Lundgren = Epoch 9600 BC; Mission 2
7) Merlin = Epoch 673; Mission 1
8) Lou Don Jim = Epoch 3072; Mission 1
9) Melanie Gibson = Epoch 199X; Mission 2

Unlocked with Accomplishments
The following characters are unlocked by completing certain accomplishments, such as beating the story mode as well as collecting shards, glorbs, and lookers.

Shards are a small group of pink shapes found in each level floating around. They are collected by either jumping on them or shooting them with a projectile. There are 3 shards in each level.

Glorbs are small diamond shapes found in each level either floating around, being carried by an enemy, or released by an object after it explodes. They are collected by being touched by a player before they hit the ground. There are 10 shards in each level.

Lookers are similar to shards in appearance and are located at the end of every level. They are collected by being touched by a player, upon which you must then rewind the player back to the start of the level and give him 20 seconds to blaze through the level and re-touch the looker again before the 20 seconds expires.

10) Cleo = complete Epoch 199X; Mission 3
11) Commander Repeatski = complete all 6 epochs in the game
12) Squirty Harry = collect half of the shards in the game
13) Re-Bot = collect all of the shards in the game
14) Stash = collect half of the glorbs in the game
15) Da Vinci = collect all of the glorbs in the game
16) Looker = collect all of the lookers in the game

Changing Characters
Once you have a total of 7 playable characters, select a level. I recommend Mission 3 in Epoch 1,000,000 BC as it is the shortest one to complete. At the start of the level you are given a choice to select a character. Select one and then begin playing. Once playing, press the B button and then the Left Trigger to rewind time (i.e. take a "Time Out"). Then press the A button to open the character selection on-screen menu. Choose a different character than you just played with. Repeat that until all 7 characters have been called into the game and you have fired a charged attack with them. Then complete the level as normal before the time expires or before you run out of Time Outs. The Range of Fire achievement will then pop.

Great guide. However, I unlocked Squirty Harry for 50% and Re-Bot for 100% shards, not glorbs. A pretty minor point, but I thought I'd mention it. Otherwise, excellent job.

Ah, thanks! You're right: I had glorbs and shards mixed up for Squirty Harry, Re-Bot, Stash, and Da Vinci. I've updated the guide with the correct information.

I believe this is glitched. I tried for a couple hours trying different combinations of my current 15 character roster to no avail. I emailed the developer and will update when information is available.

*update Capy games emailed and said the update will be available on 5/21.

** update is now available.

I just received word from Capybara Games and they are aware of the issue and a day one patch was suppose to be live today, they say it should be out in a few days and the patch resolves the glitched achievement.

To add to this, as being tested on 360 XBLA version, the achievement would pop up once you complete the level, after you fired 7 different charged attacks.

Mga74 and O Palestrino, both of you have the achievement? I'm not sure where the 4 negative votes and comments are coming from, everyone that has posted here has the achievement.

There are a total of 16 characters. Once you have 7 unlocked, use each of their charged attacks at least once. You have to finish the level, and just to be safe, make sure each attack hits an enemy.
