How to unlock the Perfect Pacifist achievement in Wasteland 3 - Definitive Guide

The first fight with the ghost gang is irrelevant. Disrupter guns have not been introduced to you yet therefore using lethal weapons when you encounter the gangs will not matter. Engage only the gangs with lethal weapons and avoid hitting the civilians.

The next big encounter is with the first group of workers who are being threatened by the robot dog. Talk to the workers and tell them you are trying to work things out with Crow and to stand down. Tell Ludlow to pull back the dog and that is it for this encounter.

(Having companions will make this achievement slightly more difficult but it won't void the achievement as long as they don't kill anyone during a battle such as shooting the last round to deplete their health. I had the golden toaster and even though he fired many shots he didn't kill anyone)

The next section involves using computers to build the robot in order to get into the room with Crow. Make sure you have disruption weapons when you encounter the first group of workers with the giant mech. Use your speech check to threaten them to give up or you will kill them. This will cause a good chunk of the workers to back down making the fight much easier. Takedown the mech and remaining workers with disrupter weapons.

Repeat the use of disruption weapons in the next room with the workers and mech. This one will be a bit more difficult but it's manageable.

The next combat encounter is inside the room with Crow and Ludlow. I sided with Crow and ended up having to fight Ludlow and his robots. Use lethal rounds here as disruption weapons will not do anything to Ludlow. Focus every single attack on him until his HP depletes. He will surrender and you will have the option to arrest him. Do this to avoid any deaths.

After this, your next task will involve finding the ghost gang hideout. They will be in the scrapyard to the West of the Steeltown gates. You will have to deal with the ghost gang in the scrapyard so use disruption weapons here as well. If you have equipped your vehicle with the disruption rockets you can then use it to help you out. After all of the gang members are nonlethally taken down you will get instructions on fighting the garage hideout.

The next interaction will be in the garage. Go straight to the intercom and tell Blue you want to talk instead of fight. As long as you're able to talk to him you will avoid a battle. Agree to have Di fixed up but imply you want Di to have a say in this.

In the battle at the gates where you will choose who to side with (Crow or Markham), I chose Crow. You will have to use lethal rounds to kill all the robots and Di in this section. Avoid hitting the workers and causing them to die. Take care of the robots inside the Steeltown with lethal rounds but avoid collateral damage against the staff. You can talk to Markham and get her to step down instead of killing her.

Finally you will be at the spire. I dont think any choices matter here unless you're trying to get Blue back in Steeltown. Free the synths and do what Blue asked you to do. This may or may not be necessary but I did it and this is how I unlocked the achievement. When you go back down the elevator you will be greeted by Blue if you followed my choices. The achievement will unlock here if this guide was followed.

If you have any further questions, comment so I may answer them. Cheers!

You have to use disruption weapons all the time or/and negotiate with workers and Ghost Gang members. Make sure to:

The following tip has been patched recently. Ignore it at your own risk:
-First fight at the gates against the Ghost Gang: The trickiest part as you don't have access to disruption weapons here so, take cover and let security handle them. This fight is very buggy and took me 3 hours to complete it. At least one Ghost has to be knocked out in every turn otherwise there is a high possibility that the fight will freeze, forcing you to reload. This depends on the AI though only.lf you have high dmg companions like the honey badger or the Soviet bot, its better to dismiss/kill them.

Here is how to get disruption weapons before visiting Steeltown. Comment by Dustagnor:

-In the factory (sub)level equip disruption rounds to the war bot after assembling it and side with Ludlow. Or you can keep lethal rounds and side with Crow and arrest Ludlow which is a better choice. DI will trigger this choice.

-If you are using disruption weapons so far, Ghost Gang and Blue will avoid to fight you after a 5 Kiss Ass skill check, but you can still knock them out if you fail it.

Achievement unlocks after completing the main steeltown questline. Using lethal weapons against robots at the Factory sublevel and at the Spire is totally okay. Knocked out enemies cant be killed by AOE lethal weapons like grenades etc.

Very good walkthrough! I would like to add one small tip to completing the first fight. It is possible to get a disruption weapon prior to ever visiting steel town if you banish Santa instead of killing him during Elf on a Shelf. If banished he will have a possible random encounter on the map where he ambushes you with steel town bots he has stolen. Destroying the bots has a chance of dropping disruption shotguns or assault rifles which made the first fight a cake walk even on the hardest difficulty.

Thanks for the warning about that first battle it took me a couple tries as well until I dismissed all my ‘friendly’ companions

For anyone like me who was confused it sometimes will give you an option to ONLY fight Blue. If this happens just finish the fight :)

What caused me the biggest pain was having the annoying golden toaster as a companion, which is almost impossible to lose. Even though I was sure it never killed anyone, it did hit many human enemies, and I could not get this trophy with it. Had to resort to a different save without the toaster.

I've gonethrough this quest three times now without killing anyone. I've gotten a couple of disrupters from Santa too. Achievement STILL has not popped for me.

The other solution is correct, the first fight does not count towards this.

The first fight used to count on release. Maybe its patched now. This solution was made early on in release.

To get the kiss ass option to avoid the blue fight, you need to do some refugee side quests. I'd already done the toilet thing and blue objected when I intercomed him. After doubling back to do cookies mission he let me straight in.

I passed from the save end, so I had a toaster, it was just a hero who it hung on, I didn’t fight. He stood at the beginning of the location where the workers are aggro.

It is important to note that the trophy will not be given if:
1. One of the workers will die from the barrel, even if he blows it up himself (say hello to the hand-to-hand guys who are fighting with the splash fist skill)
2. If a robot (hard workers in exo-skeletons) sets you as a target and runs towards you through its allies, whom they can trample.
3. At the very end, when you help the workers and you need to get through to Amanda, there will be two battles in which these workers need to be helped, if you let them through by running through the secret passage in the office, they won’t let you.

I advise you to do this trophy on the "tourist" difficulty.
The first battle was an attack by ghosts, killed with conventional weapons. Further, until the end of the DLS, only destabilizing.

Without Kurotron and Brave Little Toaster on the team. And of course without animals and clones.
