How to unlock the Bling-Bling achievement in The Surge - Definitive Guide

The vanity pieces are awarded for completing episodes with different modifiers on. Just choose the easiest episode (like episode one) and finish it repetedly equipping modifiers you haven't tried yet, one at a time, if you wish.

You will need to do combinations of modifiers, too. You need to do a combination of any two, any three and any four modifiers, too. Check the reward summary for the different modifier combinations and do those you don't have yet.

The vanity pieces don't have to be crafted, you just get them. The achievement should unlock after getting the last vanity piece when you return to the control room.

A list of all the vanities from StumblesMcGee's comment below:

Dillon Head gear - Leech modifier
Cap Horn head gear - Vintage modifier
El Capitan head gear - Chrono-master modifier
Conquistador head gear - Short Fuse modifier
Shades of Black head gear - Danger Close modifier
Malsum head gear - Epicenter modifier
Duke head gear - Polterguys modifier

Going Native leg gear - Cut-and-Go modifier

Combining modifiers unlock more vanity pieces. Try also diagonal in any direction, 2 or 3 to get the feral hairpiece for example.

Can confirm that this achievement was very sluggish to trigger. I had to mess around for a while.

After unlocking each piece, I had to do one more run (I used Episode 1) to get the achievement to unlock.

To all the people that can't get Shades of Gold
Had same problem. Recycle all extra gear in inventory. Just leave one set of each type (single head, torso and two hands and legs) run episode 9 again and it will drop.

Vanity pieces are all unlocked by using the modifiers during the episodes. There are 16 total mods and you must use all of them at least once. You can tell one has been used when the stars on the pictures change from black to gold, and the reward picture will have a check mark on it when you receive the reward. I had to use one mod three times before the vanity piece unlocked for some reason, but that may have been a fluke.

Most of the modifiers unlock just by completing the various episodes, though two have unique requirements. One is to basically chicken out before the boss fight, so after completing the two rooms you'll be on a catwalk with the entrance to the boss room ahead and an opening to the right that leads to the control room. Use the drop down to the right to keep your rewards, skip the boss, and unlock the mod. The other mod is unlocked by completing an episode with less than 10 kills. This is easily done in Episode 1 by using both shortcuts and running past any enemies not required to open a door.

On top of using each mod at least once, you also need to use a combination of two, three, and four mods specifically for unique vanity pieces. You'll get the Golden Dillon for using two mods, Going Feral for three, and Smirking Luchador for four. These don't stack, so this will take three seperate runs to unlock all three. Otherwise, once you've done those combinations and used all 16 mods at some point, you'll have the last vanity items.

"Trinkets" are given for using modifiers. To get the trophy, you need to open and use all modifiers and several of their combinations (with each of them, complete one episode completely, including the BOSS) + another “trinket” ( Golden Points ) is given for completing the 9th episode.

I completed episode 9 for the first time and didn’t get any points (for some reason I had two standard points in my inventory).

passed the second time without cutting and collecting coins - received gold points.

If anyone has problems with the first slush monsters, then in the first lock you can immediately take a coin and stupidly run along the rails to the cut and the end. in the second location you won’t be able to cut it off like that, but there is more space there and monsters can be lured out or otherwise hit with swoops.

If there is a bug with glasses, then another treatment option is possible - collect a couple of items from the dlc on the workbench, and when you exit the workbench, the trophy will fall out.

Points are not awarded for the 9th test. More precisely, when you open the safe, it is displayed that there is a reward in it, but when you take it, nothing appears in the bag. I've already repeated the test 10 times, the effect is the same. Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
