How to unlock the Keep Your Balance achievement in WET - Definitive Guide
Some tips to maximize your score:
1. Keep your multiplier up! This is especially important during spawn door sections. Just keep shooting.
2. Don't destroy spawn doors until they stop spawning enemies.
3. Killing bad guys while sliding after a dive will get you twice as many style points as when you kill them normally.
4. Destroy all crates to make sure you get any bonus style points.
If you don't buy any upgrades and follow the tips above you should reach 50,000 style points in the middle of chapter 8, "Breaking the Ice."
Hope that was helpful.
I will be be telling you how many style points i had at certain points in the game so you can see if you are on course for the achievement or not.
Firstly you must have completed the game at least once to unlock the Golden Bullets difficulty, this makes all of your bullets much more powerful and can dispatch enemies within 2-4 shots, however your life will drain much more quickly.
Points to remember:
- Look around for the pick-ups that give you style points, they're relatively easy to find.
- Try to chain your kills together and constantly retain a high multiplier.
- During the sequences where you have to disable the spawn points try to pick up the pickups that add to your multiplier. These are huge red rings with a number inside i.e. x2, x3, and x4. But do not go out of your way to get them, if they are near you and you can get them without losing a lot of health then go for it.
- During the sequences where you have to disable the spawn points be sure to keep killing the enemies until they have finished spawning, but be careful not to close the gates too early by shooting at them. All it takes is a few stray bullets and you could jeopardise your chance of getting 50,000 points.
- Remember not to upgrade any of Rubi’s abilities or do not upgrade any of your guns.
I personally upgraded health to the maximum as soon as i could which cost me 6,000 style points. This is strongly advised.

You will earn points for your kills throughout the game. You won't be able to upgrade, make sure you have a high multiplier as often as possible and pull off acrobatic kills as often as possible. Rage mode kills do not count towards this score. You need to make it from chapter 1 to 12 without spending your points on upgrades and make sure you earn enough points while in large battles to end the game with a high enough score. Golden bullets mode should make this a lot easier than trying to run through on the harder skill levels.
I recommend doing this on the easy difficulty as you won't have so many issues with dying.
I found this easiest to get during the Golden Bullets run. During that run, I followed the same “arena strategy” found under the “Target Score Junkie!” trophy, whenever there was an arena battle. However, since health is limited on this run, I upgraded my life (and only my life) right away. Even doing this, I was still able to get 50,000 points well before the game was close to ending. I also recommend going for the “Hey Big Spender!” trophy after you’ve gotten this one.
