Kill a level 35 bounty

0.7%

How to unlock the VIP no more achievement in The Ascent - Definitive Guide

You unlock this by beating a level 35+ bounty target. Only the player giving the killing blow gets the achievement, so if playing coop.... You gotta take turns giving the final hit. I left this to the very end of the game after beating the boss.

Definitely Nutrition Lab is the place to trigger this. You can run in and do the first few areas, if no bounty shows up you can quit to menu and reload until bounty level 35 spawns.

Nutrition Lab:
Building Entrance: https://ibb.co/DrpQ4Qs
Map Location of Entrance: https://ibb.co/K0HSZsm
If you can survive the big fight at the end of it, you can claim the Voidcutter sword (inside loot chest) which does energy damage.

Thank you packetloss X for the screenshots!
You are welcome. Glad to see this solution finally overtake the original. For those curious my original comment from the other thread was as follows:

Update(08.24.2022): I had my brother play through the DLC and I noticed his second achievement was this one (made me so mad lol), so I asked him where he got it and he said 'Nutrition Lab' which is the area that the voidcutter chest is in. Good farm place for level 35's as well so if you're hunting the bounty perhaps take a run in that place:

~NOTE~ I got the bounty in MG Military base before I learned of the one in the Nutrition lab. The RNG on it is horrible and from everyone's feedback Nutrition Lab spawn rate is way better.

Great guide bc I couldn’t remember how to get to the Nutition Lab. Took 1 reset of the area and bagged a 35. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this. I'd been running around forever trying to find a high enough level bounty. Followed your guide and got one in the first hallway past the entrance.

As you level your character while playing in the DLC area you'll notice the level of the enemies increase, to a degree, depending on where you are on the map.

I eventually found a level 35 bounty in the mech area where you visit during the 'Making Concessions' side mission. I came back here after doing everything else and a bounty was in that area.

Bounties are indicated by a red hexagon on your minimap

My luck with this one was total trash. I farmed the map for a few hours with no high level bounty popping. This was me at character level 41 after completing everything else and finding all the chests on the new map.

I took a break and came back and went to the MG Military Base (you can travel to it via taxi or train after finishing the main storyline) and a bounty spawned behind the normal protection detail, it was a high level and achievement popped.

@SPARTAN3 No it does not. Download the DLC, then load the game and resume your previous game. If you had already completed the previous storyline in your previous game Kira will immediately start talking to you about the Cyber Heist and you are off to the races.

Must have stole yours then: found a level 35 Bounty on my first visit back to the Base after beating Zell, and it was pretty early in the Base too.

@Don Bartski Correct the possible spawn point is behind the normal protection detail to the side before you get to the fence. The RNG is not great, you probably still spent way less time than I did trying to get one to spawn. I am happy to know it will spawn there regularly for folks.

^ Literally came to post exactly what Packetloss just said. The bounty shows up in the upper lefthand corner of the area (Military base), if you move up a bit and you don't see the hexagon bounty symbol, just go back to the train and keep reloading back and forth until it spawns. Took me about an hour or so.

I ended up finding my high level bounty in the Canary Mech Factory, "The Nest" I hope this helps you guys because the high level bounty that is supposed to be at the MG Military Base once you complete the dlc never spawned for me.

@Metal Gear VR yep The Nest area is where I got mine. You get inside north east from the main entrance to the factory, a second Mech is guarding it. Took me 10+ tries. Also this place is bugged now and you can't leave any other way than quit to main menu to respawn in the city.

I can't say anything about the bounty spawning in The Nest because I got it at the MG Military Base first try. But you can definitely leave The Nest without quitting. Just not through the door you came in but through the one upstairs. You end up upstairs in the Mech Factory. Interestingly you can not enter The Nest this way.

This took obnoxiously long. Then encountering the door to the nest all of a sudden locked itself. Luckily shortly after that a few more teleports to the military base and finally got a bounty spawn.

Unsure if a coincidence but spent 2+ hours farming military base and occasionally checking canary factory for a 35 bounty to no avail (I was level 35 also). My first visit to military base after levelling up to 36 made a level 35 bounty appear.

Another thanks to packetloss X. First time entering that building and the level 35 bounty was in there.

Yep, the nutrition lab has to be the best place, had a lvl 35 bounty spawn the 2nd time through. Plus there's loads of lvl 35s in there for that other achievement. Way more than anywhere else I saw. Was there a mission in that building, I don't remember ever going in there. Never would have even noticed that place if not for this post. Thanks

I cannot find the bounty in the Nutrition Lab, and that zone is pretty difficult so I keep dying. Any tips on where to find him?

As long as you are around lvl 34-35 yourself, you're guaranteed to find the bounty in Nutrition Lab. This also works for the other achievement that requires 50 lvl 35 kills.

+1 to packetloss X's idea.

I just started the DLC and got the first mission. After getting the hidden room location achievement in Harbour, I went a little bit north to the Nutrition Lab building. I ran up the left/bottom hallway into a large back area where I got my level 35 bounty.

Glad it is working out for everyone. At least I can share it with you all and you reap the rewards.

Was there a mission in that building
No there is no quest or NPC that sends you in there. The voidcutter chest is not marked on the map either (secret)

I did review my footage from the Nutrition Lab and yes, all level 35 mobs and even spawned the bounty in the end room. I had the achievement by that point so did not even notice the bounty until after review. Adding the Bounty screen shot to the list.

Perhaps the Solution owner will notice one day and add it to the actual Solution. . . . .

You need to find and kill a level 35 bounty. There are a few places where level 35 enemies will appear:

MG Millitary Base
The Nest - Top right corner in Canary Mech Factory
Nutrition Lab - just left of the south border in Harbour/AdminZone at the left side of the big building

The bounties will show up as a red hexagon.

Thanks to packetloss X for confirming the Lab

Yeah, just taxi back and forth from the military base then to Harbour. After about 5 back and forths a hexagon appeared at the base.

Military base wasn't a great option for me since it got old fighting the siege mech every time.

Spawn at a military base or northeast of the factory. Personally, I got caught at the base after completing all the DLC missions.

After completing the game, we call a taxi to the military base, see if there is a target (the robot does not count), if not, then you die from enemies, are resurrected - look again, and so on until it appears. This is the fastest and easiest way. That's exactly how I got it.

Inside the building there were two targets and ordinary level 35 enemies (I came after all the main and side quests)
