Ultimate Survivor
GoldFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Max out all three survivor skill trees — Agility, Power and Survival (level 15 each). Agility XP comes from parkour/traversal, Power from melee combat, Survival from quests and activities.
Tip
This is mostly automatic across a 60–70h platinum. If one tree lags, lean into that activity — sprint and climb for Agility, brawl for Power, and clear side quests / safe zones for Survival.

Craftsman
GoldFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Find all 49 weapon blueprints and upgrade every one to its maximum level. Blueprints come from shops, safe zones, quests and exploration; upgrades cost crafting materials.
Tip
The real bottleneck is materials, not the blueprints — loot everything, buy materials from vendors, and save your final upgrade tiers for the late game when resources pile up.

Land 6 revolver headshots within a 20-second window.

Set up a line of slow, weak Biters (a small horde works great), back up for space, and calmly pop six heads. Steady aim beats speed — you have plenty of time in 20 seconds.
