How to unlock the POWERUP MANIAC achievement in The Bug Butcher - Definitive Guide

Powerups are the abilities that you activate with the cn_X button during levels. This achievement should pop immediately after buying the second upgrade of your final of three powerups in arcade mode.

To get to the powerup purchasing menu, you navigate from Main Menu to Arcade to Player Stats and go down to the third tab (with the lightning bolt), which is Powerups. Each powerup 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 powerup upgrades:
1. Bootjuice - 500 first upgrade, 1500 second upgrade
2. Freeze Grenade - 500 first upgrade, 1500 second upgrade
3. Homing Missiles - 500 first upgrade, 1500 second upgrade

I focused my spending on the powerups first and unlocked this achievement before I finished playing through all of the levels. That said, I wouldn't recommend buying the powerups first; I think the weapons, especially the machine gun, would have been more useful on that first playthrough. By the time I completed all other achievements, I had about 18,000 coins leftover.

As with the weapons, you need to unlock AND upgrade all the powerups. There are 3 Powerups in total:

  • Boot Juice - Increase run speed for a short period of time
  • Freeze Grenade - Freezes all the enemies in the play area for short period of time (length of time varies based on upgrade tiers)
  • Homing Missiles - Fires a barrage of missiles that seek onto enemies


All of these will be open when you complete Level 9 (Floor 02). Each Powerup has 3 upgrade tiers - the 1st is open from the start and the 2nd and 3rd can be purchased from the store with coins you pick up while playing Arcade Mode. You will earn more than enough coins while going for the 3 Star Trophies to purchase all the upgrades. The trophy will unlock once you purchase the final upgrade for the last Powerup.

Each of the upgrades will give you more time to use them, or more ammo. Each powerup has three upgrades and there are 3 Powerups:

  • Boot Juice – unlocked from level 1, upgrade 2 costs 500 and 3 costs 1500
    • Makes Harry invincible and run for a couple of seconds
  • Freeze Grenade – unlocked on level 3, upgrade 2 costs 500 and 3 costs 1500
    • Freezes all enemies for a brief moment
  • Homing Missiles – unlocked on level 9, upgrade 2 costs 500 and 3 costs 1500
    • Instantly releases homing missiles at your foes

Once you buy the last upgrade the achievement will unlock.
