How to unlock the PERK FANATIC achievement in The Bug Butcher - Definitive Guide

Perks are special abilities that you do not activate during levels; only one may be equipped at any time. This achievement should pop immediately after buying the final of three perks in arcade mode.

To get to the perk purchasing menu, you navigate from Main Menu to Arcade to Player Stats and go down to the fourth tab (with the little body that looks like an O over an X), which is Perks. Each Perk has its own tab, so you can shift across to the right to reach the second and third abilities.

You will need a total of 6000 coins to buy all perks:
1. Speed Boost - 2000, increases movement speed
2. Bug Shield - 2000, allows you to take one hit without health damage or losing combo
3. Combo Boost - 2000, increases the time before a combo is lost

I bought the perks last and received this achievement after completing the All Stars and Combo achievement for Floor 04 on my second playthrough, before completing the same achievements for Floor 05. That said, I found the Combo Boost especially helpful for the All Stars and Combo achievements (it was my go-to perk once I bought it), while the Bug Shield was useful for SURVIVOR LEVEL 9. I didn't really like using Speed Boost. By the time I completed all other achievements, I had about 18,000 coins leftover.

Since there is only one tier of the perks (no upgrades), the description on this trophy is correct and you only need to purchase these from the store. There are 3 perks available:

  • Speed Boost - Permanently increases run your run speed
  • Bug Shield - Gives you a shield that will absorb one hit
  • Combo Boost - Increases the Combo timer


You can only have on perk equipped at a time. The Combo Boost was the most beneficial out of all three as it increases the Combo Timer from 2 seconds to 6 seconds, in turn making it easier to earn the Combo Star for each level.

Each perk costs 2500 coins, but you will have more than enough to purchase all 3 as you go for the 3 Star Trophies. The trophy will unlock once you purchase the 3rd and final perk.

There is only one tier of the perks for you to buy. You can buy them as soon as you have the coins to do so.

  • Speed Boost – costs 2000
    • Increases Harry’s running speed
  • Bug Shield – costs 2000
    • A protective bubble that allows Harry to get hit once where he does not lose his life OR his current combo
  • Combo Boost – costs 2000
    • Increases the combo meter

You can only have one perk on at a time.
