How to unlock the Gimme Shelter achievement in We Happy Few - Definitive Guide

The achievement now appears to be fixed meaning you need to collect all shelters,

If you see a building with smoke coming from the chimney this will be a safe house. I believe each area has a secondary quest for finding the main hatch for that area however most area have 2 or more hatchs.

Here is the list as it appears in the game.

St. Georges Holm Hatch.
Secondary St georges Holm.
Maidenholm Hatch.
Eel Pie Hatch
Eel Pie Hatch 1
Eel Pie Hatch 2
Barrow Holm Hatch
Luds Holm Hatch
Luds Holm Hatch 2
The Parade.

"you need to collect all shelters as Arthur."

I don't think this is the case. As I posted above, I couldn't unlock The Parade shelter as Arthur. However, when I unlocked it as Ollie, the achievement popped. I think you just have to unlock all of the shelters Arthur has access to (e.g. Sally has a shelter Arthur cannot access) playing as either Arthur, Sally, or Ollie.

Why would you kill the models? The quest specifically says to ask them for tips... facepalm

It was bad timing: I went into Joy withdrawal right as I had loaded into the basement and immediately both models started attacking me because of it. It wasn't clear they were necessary quest NPCs, so I fought back and killed them.

I can’t find the 2nd Luds Holm hatch. And I’ve explored everywhere I can think of. Has anyone else had an issue where one of the hatches just won’t spawn?

I can confirm that for successful acquisition of this achievement you only need to unlock the primary shelter in each region (the one you receive a quest for), and not the secondary or tertiary ones. This is not to say that a glitch may prevent this from unlocking, but for me I only unlocked the quest related shelters (6 in total) and the achievement popped.

Strangely enough, I wasn't able to get this during my Arthur playthrough even though I got every hatch but it did unlock as I got the last of Ollie's.

I just got this as Arthur when I powered up the Parade District hatch, but I DID NOT have all the other hatches. Specifically the Eel Pie 1 and 2 hatches from the list given in the solution. This is my first playthrough. So it seems maybe you only need the main hatches in each district and not secondary ones?

It seems I can't unlock the hatch in the Parade district because it's tied to the A Model Citizen quest, which requires you to help some models. But, unfortunately, I killed the models, and now the quest title shows up in the completed section of my quest list with red font instead of black font. Is there any other way to get the photo room key and complete that quest? That seems like an absurd design flaw in the game.

(Arthur Achievement, Missable, Possibly Glitchy)

Throughout Arthur's travels he will encounter abandoned subway stations that will serve as the hub for his travels, beds to sleep on, tables to craft things, and a stash to store things. After finding all shelters, this achievement will unlock.

In theory, this achievement should unlock after unlocking the ninth shelter opened during the fashion show mission. However, the achievement is severely glitched, and could unlock anytime after the fourth shelter.

Personally, mine unlocked after the seventh. The map is always generated randomly, so there is no set location for all these shelters and a map screenshot would be useless to another player, as their map will look different. Keep an eye on the in-game map looking for blue house icons. The shelters can be seen when nearby as they are either small houses with smoke coming out the chimney (when in the Garden district) or metal hatches in a garden/park area (when in a village).

Here is a list of all the shelter locations:

  1. Barrow Holm Hatch
  2. Eel Pie Hatch
  3. Eel Pie Hatch 1
  4. Eel Pie Hatch 2
  5. Maidenholm Hatch
  6. Lud’s Holm Hatch
  7. St. George’s Holm Hatch
  8. Secondary St. Geroge’s
  9. Parade District
