Introduction
This guide isn’t about how to play the game, it’s not about how to be good at the game. It covers how to (somewhat) optimise every achievement with a bunch of friends.
3 players are required for the 100%, though only 4/37 need the three players. Most can be done with 2 players (kill grind) or by yourself (misc map specifics).
Listen vs Dedicated
At time of writing, the official servers have shut down for over a year, so everything in this guide is based on community servers.
The game supports both listen and dedicated servers. You will want to set up a dedicated server for the lengthy achievements. These things are possible only on dedicated:
- setting round time (main reason)
- turning off team balance (though not important)
It’s not possible to adjust the map rotation, listen or dedicated.
1. Follow this guide to create a functional dedicated server:

2. Download the Workshop Map:
3. Add the MapID to the *.mapsettings file using the workshop ID. (I believe this number could actually be anything, just make sure step 5 uses the same number.)
4. Move the workshop map folder (it’s name will be the workshop ID) to BODS_DataStreamingAssets.
5. Edit config.txt and change GameMap=<workshop ID>
Play 1000 Matches
🏆 The stuff I’ve seen… – Play a thousand matches
This can be idled on a dedicated server with Match Time set to 1 minute.
I’m not sure if it can be set lower, but the timer starts immediately on map change, so too low and no one will be able to load into the game.
Matches count as long as you are on the scoreboard when the match ends, so you don’t all need to load in (i.e. select a character class and be in the match). However, the Rounds mode will only start properly after one player loads in. Because of this, there should be one player auto-clicking at all times.

I’ve created a workshop map to make the kill grind easier:

Put the ID (2381840269) as the Game Map in your config file to start your server on a workshop map. See the section above if you need help adding the workshop maps onto your server’s map rotation.
Set Game Mode to Free for all and Match Time to something outrageous (we did 600) and simply kill your friends. All the spawn points are stacked together on Free for all, which does cause some weird issues when players spawn inside each other, but it’s still manageable.
To stop the server from booting players for inactivity, shoot after loading in. Those who are being killed can generally idle with an autoclicker clicking every one second.
Kills are stored in Steam stats immediately, so quit whenever.
Pistols are not available on any class by default. Level up the Wraith or Vanguard class once to unlock it for use. See the cosmetics section for an easy level up.
Miscellaneous Stuff
1 PLAYER
🏆 On Point – Capture 3 points in the same life in Capture Point mode
2 PLAYERS
🏆 Unstoppable – Kill 3 enemies with the same weapon without reloading
🏆 Go Ballistic – Get an Overkill
🏆 Force of Nature – Deal 2000 damage in a single life
🏆 MVP – Finish a match with more than 1500 score
🏆 True King – Kill 5 enemies while in the King of the Hill point in the same life
3 PLAYERS
🏆 Back Scratcher – Kill 2 enemies with backstabs within 5 seconds
🏆 Big Boom – Kill 2 enemies with the same grenade
🏆 Teamplay – Get 30 kill assists
🏆 Hero – Get 20 savior kills
These shouldn’t require much explanation.
MVP unlocks at the end of a match, so don’t set some stupidly high match time. Listen servers’ default of 10 minutes is enough for several players to get to 1500.
Backstabs are for meleeing a person from behind.
Kill assists are for damaging a player who is subsequently killed by somebody else. Possible on most game modes.
Savior kills are for killing a player who recently shot a teammate. Possible only on Team Deatchmatch(?).

[link]
Some specifics:
- Most of these achievements unlock only on quitting the match (or triggering another achievement). If something doesn’t unlock immediately, quit the match and see if it pops on the main menu.
- Appreciator of Art: There are 9 paintings total; look at the names as well as the art itself.
- Infinite Learning: Words are Shadow, Wraith, Marksman, Tank, Berserker, Grenadier, Vanguard, Steam, Aquiris, Horizon. You don’t even need to find the puzzle, just type the words in chat.
- Sneaky Beaky: “Tube” refers to the vents near the team’s bases. There’s one both ends of the map.

🏆 No Microtransactions – Drop your first Lockbox
Lockboxes are much rarer now without official servers and leaderboards.
According to the developers they drop after 2 hours of gameplay with 48 hours between drops. Realistically, I didn’t get a second drop until 4 days after my first, so I’m not sure what’s going on there.
They only drop at the end of a match. If you want to force a drop (assuming you’re eligible) start a Capture Point match on any map and capture all the points to 1000 points. You’ll get the box as well as 1000xp if it’s the first match of the day which is useful for levelling up.
🏆 Swag – Unlock your first accessory
Accessories unlock for collecting specific sets of weapon skins. Skins are gotten through lockboxes, but it’s much easier to buy them from the Steam market. Currently, the cheapest accessory is the Adventure Hat which unlocks for owning 8x Jungle skins totalling ~30c.
Unlocking Swag though requires you to open a lockbox. After buying the skins, confirm you have the accessory in game, open a lockbox, close the game and the achievement will unlock. If you used your first lockbox, wait for another drop or buy one.
