How to unlock the Answering Machine achievement in Wasteland 3 - Definitive Guide

There are several missable cassettes:

- loot Joker's Wild and Workout Tape before completing the Little Vegas quest line;

- loot Private Do Not Play from the machine shop after confronting MacTavish in the Little Vegas quest line;

- kill Faran Brygo to loot Brygo Radio Call Recording from his corpse;

- save the Hoon Homestead in the Heads or Tails mission to get Recording from Alastair Hoon from the Hoon house safe.

You must collect all of the cassettes except Demolition Derby before you open the door to Liberty (the point-of-no-return warning).

Below is the order in which I found all of the cassettes...

Ambush Site

Peterson Air Force Base

Colorado Springs

Hoon Homestead

Arapaho Caravan

The Bizarre

Monster Army Bunker

Gett Family Homestead

Union Station

Denver Ruins

Department of Energy Site

Aspen

Yuma County Speedway

You must start over to get the two that were initially missing? "A proposal" and "Kidnappers in trouble"? I can't seem to find them in my savegame made just before the point of no return.

I believe that if you already looted the containers (or corpses), you will have to start over.

Before killing Brygo and risk to shut down the club eventually, check on all cassettes upstairs. In my playthrough i missed them and have to restart..

Thinking this one may be a little bit glitched? I have 51/51 like the Wiki mentions, but no pop. 🙃

There is another missable cassette that no one talks about either. It should also be noted that if you complete Big Trouble in Little Vegas without going to the Machine Shop during the quest you will miss the Private Do Not Play cassette as there is no way to get into that back room

Update: Deleted previous guide, please read below. I am not marking spoilers as they are to be expected. You can check your tapes collected in the ARCHIVE (settings menu, not the in-game inventory menu). They are based only on the current save-file and are not cross-save.

You MAY need to start from a new save, or a save BEFORE visiting the Gett Family Homestead AND Denver. I started from a save where i was only upto colorado springs, takes about 4-5 hours from there for all tapes if you rush it.

Playlist I created of some, but not all tapes (I ordered them A-Z).
Videos courtesy of YTer: Austerius Freeman
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_tUbz6MP8kMpRcIudzOg...

Two tapes are choice related:
1. Kill Faran Brygo at Little Vegas. It will be on his body. You MUST chose to attack him twice, DO NOT arrest him or you will need to reload / start a new game.
2. Chose to SAVE the Hoon Homestead in the Heads or Tails mission (the first mission you get when you are in the Kodiak), the tape is located inside the house.

The two tapes that have been fixed, they are missable but not choice related.
Gett Family Homestead: Speak to Grant in The Bizarre (east of the noodle bar) and offer to help him with the kidnapper problem. Leave & head back to the wasteland in the kodiak, head north & the homestead is right there. Upon opening the locked door (Lockpicking 7, or blow the door down) & it's on the body at the door.

Denver, Machine Commune: Inside the main structure, past the radio host - make a right & head towards Vivisecto - the "Robot Doctor" & it is located in the container just west of him.

Updated the guide guys, hope it helps. I spent so much time on this originally... such a shame it took the devs so long to fix it.. and i was forced to start all over again even after the fix... laughangrydance

Complete list of all 51 tapes:
https://wasteland.fandom.com/wiki/Wasteland_3_cassette_tapes

Annoyingly there is at least one more missable tape - The Workout Tape that's in one of the brothel workers room; the "King of Hearts" guy with the weights.

It's not choice related but the location becomes inaccessible after you deal with Faran Brygo so it needs to be picked up before dealing with him and leaving Little Vegas.

Can you update the guide ? Thanks

By SPΛΙΝΤΞRCΞΛΛ on 25 Sep 2020 11:21
Yes it's still present. I'm positive it must be obtainable as the global unlock is 0.01% and I'm currently in search of the following cassette's;
A Proposal - Denver supposedly according to the tape ID.
Angie Eulogy by General Vargas - (tutorial - not present)
Dee Sharp Sings - Yuma county is where you meet Dee Sharp, possibly here...
Dorsey Orders - Apparently in colarado....?
Kidnappers in Trouble -
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***
according to the tape ID. I saw nothing at the homestead....
Rangers Riding - (tutorial - not present)
Russian Singalong - unknown
Simms Mix Tape - (tutorial - not present)

In game version 1.08 and earlier, the trophy cannot be obtained. Since the necessary records are not where they should be.

All the films are quite easy to find if you generally play carefully, with the exception of Braigo. You must definitely kill him in the casino and take the film from the corpse. Accordingly, if you agree with him or arrest him, you will not be able to get this film and will not be able to get the trophy in the end.

Wolzek is wrong. Braigo can also be killed in prison if he is arrested. The most important thing is to make a separate save before the fight with Liberty, you can finish everything off from it, of course, if the Knox Buffalo Farm is open.

In my case, Braigo could not be killed in prison; I specifically tried to play out such a scenario. Perhaps there was a bug in early patches.

32. A serious argument with an approving resolution - a commune of cars, immediately after moving to the location, on the left in a pile, right in front of the nose of the plane

32. “A serious argument with an approving resolution” - The Commune of Machines. In a pile of debris to the left of the entrance, behind the bow of the spaceship.
50. "Application" - Machine Commune. In a container just southeast of the synth - medic Vivisecto.

49. Recording of Braigo’s call on the radio (Taken from Braigo’s corpse in the casino when he is killed)

It is not necessary to kill, collect all the tapes until you have 49: one from Braygo, the other near Lussia's father, in Utah. Make a save and kill Braigo. PS if he is at your headquarters, then Lussy and the Sheriff will be against firing, hand them over and just throw a grenade from the doors. 3 guards can aggro, but this is nonsense, the rest will not care. You take the cassette and go to Utah to pick up the last one.

At the time of writing this post, Braigo can still be killed in prison and this tape can be recovered from him. However, the entire headquarters will have to be cut out. Save Braigo for last. I killed him right before the point of no return, when before entering Liberty there will be a warning that all quests will be failed and the places are inaccessible.
