How to unlock the Refuge achievement in Titanfall - Definitive Guide
To get this achievement you must survive an evacuation which is toward the end of the match, you must get to the evacuation point without dying, I would recommend using the camouflage ability if you have it and retreat immediately. You must be on the losing team to be able to evacuate, if winning your job is to kill the people trying to evacuate.
Don't die though, because you only have 1 life to get there. Worst part is the enemy team really wants to kill you because there is an achievement to kill all pilots trying to evacuate.
If you are having problems evacuating, you can call your titan after it says "Epilogue" and go directly below the dropship once below it just hit up on your D-pad and manually eject into the dropship. (Thanks to BiZonline)
Good luck and have fun!
A couple of things to keep in mind while attempting this achievement:
- It is slightly counter-intuitive, because you actually have to be on the *losing* team in order to get this objective during the mission Epilogue. The winning team's objective is to kill you and / or the EVAC dropship, while yours is to reach it and escape.
- After the message "Defeated" appears on the screen in red, the Epilogue begins, and you only have ONE life left. A waypoint marker will appear on the screen, and you will be instructed to make it there alive.
- The "Cloak" Pilot Ability is arguably the best option to stay alive here, but "Stim" has the advantage of increased health regeneration and boosted movement speed. Either way, use your ability and avoid enemies by navigating away from high-traffic areas and using cover whenever possible, sprinting to the waypoint. Keep in mind that the ship is never at ground level, and can sometimes take some crafty jumping and wall running skills to get where you need to go.
- Your enemy can also see the waypoint, and will most likely be at or close to it, waiting to ambush players as they arrive. Approach with caution, and kill any camped enemies in the area. When the dropship arrives, immediately bolt for it and jump towards the open side (you will automatically be placed inside it if you aim properly). Once inside, kill any lingering enemies.
- The dropship is pretty durable, actually, and unless there is a coordinated effort by the enemy using lots of heavy weapons, your odds for taking off and evacuating alive are pretty decent. The achievement should pop shortly after the "Player X Evacuated" messages appear. Best of luck!
Happy Hunting!

At the end of select Game Modes an Epilogue will take place. If you are on the losing team, you must evacuate in a drop ship. If you are on the winning team, you must kill all remaining pilots on the losing team. There will be no respawns during this time. Get to the dropship and successfully evacuate (don't have the ship blow up) to earn this achievement.
50G
To unlock this achievement, you need to lose a match (any mode except Frontier Defense or Last Titan Standing) and successfully evacuate.
Boosting Method:
Start a Capture The Flag game with two players, and have the person who needs "Refuge" wait while the other player captures six flags to end the match. You will then be in the Epilogue and have 30-45 seconds to get a an evacuation point on the map (indicated by a large icon). Have the winner of the match wait while you get to the evacuation point, board the ship when it arrives (simply jump into it and you will board automatically), and then wait while the ship heads into space.
Non-Boosting Method:
This should happen many times as you work on all of the other achievements. When you lose a match and are prompted to evacuate, you will need to survive your journey to the evacuation point, board the ship, and leave the map successfully. Many players on the opposing team try very hard to prevent you from doing so by killing you before you reach the evacuation point or by destroying the evacuation ship itself. Regardless, you will likely successfully evacuate 100+ times before you are done with all the other achievements.
