How to unlock the Weary Warriors achievement in XCOM 2 - Definitive Guide

No casualties means no deaths - injuries are ok.

You should definitely do this on easy (and no ironman), and also keep a save from when you are on the avenger, right before going out on this mission. Sending troops that are tired has a high risk of them developing negative traits (fear of a certain enemy, obsessive reloader that wastes an action, etc)

You might get lucky and be able to do this in a cheesy way very early on. For me, right after the early mission "A New Alliance", only one of my soldiers was tired, but he was tired for a good 14 days. You have a higher chance of tired soldiers if you do the first 3 missions on a higher difficulty level (thanks Lt Davo)

Soon after that, you get your first "Retaliation Strike" mission. I set the difficulty to easy, and I had my one tired soldier run the mission solo (dismissing every other soldier at the planning phase). It is a super easy mission - they may warn you that the Chosen will mess you up, but that wasn't the case for me (both on the run where I sent the tired solo guy, and when I reran it with my full squad after).

The resistance fighters do most of the work for you. I lobbed 1 grenade, and shot one alien, and the resistance fighters killed everyone else. It's a super easy mission to solo, tired soldier or not.

But, even if you can't do it this early, about a month (in-game time) in, you'll have enough back to back missions. If you send the same troops out on them again and again, some will get tired. You'll get to a point where you can send at least 3, maybe 4 troops, all tired. Do so, even if it means leaving a troop slot empty at the planning phase. They'll be fine on the mission, and on easy, you can definitely beat missions short handed. You'll get the achievement at the end of the mission, and then you can reload your original save to avoid the negative traits.

The retaliation missions make this a piece of cake - as long as you don't get close enough to activate any aliens the resistance fighters do all the work for you. Like you I think I had to deal with one Sectoid, an Andromedon, and one Faceless after everything else was murdered before I even saw them.

No need to force it like that. You can easily get this one later when you have a powerful squad. Just wait until you have at least 4 good soldiers tired and send them on a mission. Any negative traits can be removed in the infirmary.

This is a good strategy, but there are a couple of buts. First off, you should start the game on a higher difficulty and play the first three missions, then crank it down to Rookie for the retaliation mission. This is because soldiers don't get tired as quickly on Rookie as they do on the harder difficulties. When I did a new game on Rookie, I didn't have any tired soldiers to take on the retaliation mission even though I had used the same four soliders for the first three consecutive missions. When I played on Commander, all four of the soliders I took on the third mission were tired, so for the fourth mission, the retaliation, I had a full squad to take.

The second but is that not all of the retaliation missions have Resistance fighters in them. I got one without any, so my soldiers had to do all the work. But it's still a pretty easy mission in Rookie, since it has only one Faceless and in WotC they no longer transform and attack in the same turn.

Just a heads up; "casualty" is a bit ambiguous as to whether it means deaths or injuries (at least, in the UK), so for anyone who's uncertain, "casualty" in this context only refers to deaths. I had a squad of six and finished the mission with four injures and the achievement still popped. :)

Hey there all.

I'm trying to do this trophy but I've got one weird problem. My soldiers aren't getting tired for like more than 1 day. I'm playing on Rookie and already killed 2 Chosen and hunting for the last one. Every time I'm doing some mission I'm trying to make them tired as much as possible but they just don't go more than tiny bit a fatigue bar. It's kinda frustrating when you try to do this.

Is that because of fully upgraded Infirmary? Should I remove it to do the trophy? Or is there some better way to do this?

Thanks in advance for helping.

Cheers.

See my comment above. Play missioms in Commander difficulty to make them tired, then switch to Rookie for the mission where you already have them tired but need them to survive.

Want to leave a comment that this achievement wont work if you have the continent bonus double agent which gives you an advent on your squad at the beginning of the mission

Since this is a WotC achievement, wouldn't it just be easiest to use a solo tired Reaper on an alien facility? Those missions are literally a joke because of Reapers, and I don't see why a tired Reaper doing it would not proc the achievement. I haven't tested yet but when I can remember to do an alien facility with a tired Reaper, I'll try it.

Edit: It seems like there was another guide made detailing this and it does work. Just an alternative to the above, and seems like it would be 10x easier. Not sure why it's not upvoted more XD

As @LtDavo said above the first retaliation mission is by no means guaranteed to have Resistance fighters to help you out.

I recommend leaving a captive rescue mission pending until you have a tired guy, preferably your Reaper.

Just a quick note to add to the solutions above...

If you have the bonus for a random ally (Advent or Resistance), this temporary extra unit will cancel this achievement. If you are starting a mission with all tired soldiers but you have a random "bonus" troop, load your auto save from the Geoscape just before the mission and try again.

I didn't get around to trying to do this until late game. I discovered its very easy to do. The requirements for the achievement is sending out a squad of all tired soldiers and completing it with no deaths. As it turns out, you can have a squad of just 1 person!

Easiest way to do this is to send out a tired Reaper on an Advent facility mission. You can easily get to the place to plant the bomb without alerting any enemies. Be aware once you plant the bomb, your concealment will be broken and all enemies become hostile. Best idea is to move your reaper directly on top of the square the game wants you to go and end your turn. This is so you have full movement once you place the bomb. Once bomb is placed, put the dropzone as close to your reaper as possible, move them in and evacuate.

This can be done within 5 minutes with or without an annoying chosen spawning in. Just be sure to save before you make a single move just in case it all goes wrong.

If your reaper(s) are all fully rested and you're impatient, a single reaper can breeze through an advent facility mission. It takes 2 of these missions for a colonel level reaper to be tired. The 3rd mission I used to get this achievement was the ADVENT radio tower mission that goes right into the final mission. That is another easy mission a reaper can solo with stealth and ends the moment you hack the terminal.

this next part is if you somehow are not familiar with how to play the game and you keep losing concealment and don't know why. You will lose concealment the following 4 ways:
1: you attack
2: your soldier is spotted by an enemy
3: you move your soldier and he jumps through a window
4: you move your soldier and he kicks through a door

2 is why you are using a reaper. enemies normally will not see reapers unless they stand right next to them.

3 can be avoided if you hold the A button down to mark what path you want your soldier to go so they don't bust through a window.

4 can be avoided if you move your soldier right outside a door and select the command to open it (its the icon that looks like a button)

Glad to know this works. I'm surprised that this only has 5 upvotes, it's an idea I've had brewing in my head for a while on this achievement but this is the first time I've seen anyone confirm it. Thank goodness for cakewalk alien facilities!

PSA: The first Advent Facility mission is different due to story reasons.

I had to retrieve a vial instead of blowing stuff up. I also wasn't allowed to manually set the evac zone. To even have chance of making it to the evac point, I had to blow a hole in the back wall with Claymore and then wait for a long time for the AI to wander elsewhere.

I also wasn't able to cloak up afterwards because I was carrying a key item.

I recommend the captive rescue mission over Advent Facility.

If you're keen to do this early on, this can be done fairly easily on any difficulty on the first rescue mission. You'll know its the right mission when you've completed the Lost and Abandoned Mission and can only take a reduced squad. To access the mission you need to do the relevant covert action and then the mission will appear.

By then you should have 1-3 soldiers who are tired from the first few missions that you can take. If you can take a tired specialist that may make it even easier.

The plan on the mission is to stealth through the entire mission up until you pick-up the body/open the door. Watch the patrols carefully and for the stationary targets you can run right through the middle as long as you don't step into an alert square. With a specialist there is a chance you can hack the door to the cell and not change the base alert level.

As soon as you pick-up your recue target the base will go to high alert. If you're prepared (which hopefully you should be reading this) you can base all your troops with enough move space left and be able to place a Skyranger just outside the door and evac on the same turn as picking up the rescue agent. This will also help you unlock:

MISSABLE

The easiest way to get this trophy is to wait until you have the 'Retaliation on Haven' mission, because there will be resistance fighters helping you defeat the aliens. Send one tired soldier on the mission and find somewhere safe, then let the fighters kill all the enemies for you. I recommend you do this on Rookie difficulty and possibly reload your save file if you want to get the kills in that mission with your soldiers.

It’s easy to do in the “secret object” story mission, where you have to steal a bottle. Even one fighter (preferably a reaper) is enough. We steal the bottle using stealth and quickly go to the evacuation point

With PBM ultra-speed (+4 mobility) the Reaper Colonel can annihilate everyone on the map (I had 18 pieces, including 2 andromedons, a priest and a pair of mutons). More explosions

It is necessary to have an object on the map that can be stormed! You carry out any other task and after completion, immediately send only tired (the fatigue bar is yellow and in the barracks they write that the warrior is tired) soldiers to storm the object. If you waste time , then the fatigue will go away.
