Sunset Overdrive Official Strategy Guide › Achievements

Amps, Traversal, and Combat Achievements

This section deals with Amps, Overdrives, and general traversal and combat accomplishments. Most of these come with simply playing the game and getting acclimated, but “I Should Get Paid For This” requires mastery of traversals and combat, along with cycling through Buck’s tasks as quickly as possible. For more, see descriptions of the Buck Nation vs. the Apocalypse Challenges in the Challenge chapter.
