</>What does Achievement Unlocker do?
Achievement Unlocker lists every PAYDAY 2 achievement by its in-game name, more than 1,300 of them, in alphabetical order. The list fills itself once the game is running. Choose one, press Unlock Achievement, and the game awards it the same way it does when you earn it in a heist. Unlock All Achievements goes through every achievement you don't have yet. It runs from the main menu and sends a few at a time, waiting for the game to confirm each one before it sends more. Press the button again to see how far it is, and once more at the end for the total. Because the game itself does the awarding, it also does what normally follows: side jobs and safe house trophies that ask for that achievement count as done, and reward items the game ties to an achievement arrive in your inventory. Your progress is saved a few seconds later. Achievements whose reward items belong to DLC you don't own are left locked, by both buttons. An unlock is for good: turning the mod off afterwards changes nothing. The game gives no achievements while certain mutators are on; the buttons tell you when that is the case. It only ever changes your own account.
</>What is Achievement Unlocker?
PAYDAY 2 has more than 1,300 achievements, and a lot of them ask for a full crew, a retired event or one very specific loadout. Achievement Unlocker shows them all by their in-game names and awards the one you choose through the game's own achievement code. A second button does the same for every achievement you are still missing. Side jobs, safe house trophies and reward items that depend on an achievement follow as they would after earning it. Achievements that hand out items from DLC you don't own are skipped.
</>Common questions about Achievement Unlocker
Why does the Achievement list only show one line?
The names come from the running game, so the launcher has nothing to show before PAYDAY 2 is open. Start the game and wait for the main menu: the list then fills with every achievement, in alphabetical order by the name the game shows.
Can I lock an achievement again after unlocking it?
No. Achievements are stored on your Steam account, not in the save file, and this mod has no button that removes them. Turning the mod off only stops an Unlock All Achievements run that is still going; everything awarded up to that moment stays and is saved.
Do I also get the items an achievement unlocks?
Yes, when the game ties a reward to that achievement, such as weapon mods or a mask. The mod only asks the game to award the achievement; the game hands out the reward itself a moment later, and the mod saves your progress after that. Many of those rewards belong to a paid DLC pack. If you don't own the pack, both buttons leave that achievement locked and tell you so, and Unlock All Achievements reports how many it left out for that reason.
Why did a button say the game gives no achievements right now?
Some mutators switch achievements off for the heist they run in, and the game then ignores every award, including the ones this mod asks for. The button checks for that first and tells you instead of doing nothing. Finish or leave that heist, then press it again from the main menu or from a heist without those mutators. The other message you can get early on means your achievements are still loading.
Can I use it during a heist or in an online lobby?
Unlock Achievement works from the main menu and during a heist, alone or online, and shows the game's usual achievement pop-up in a heist. Unlock All Achievements works from the main menu only, because finished trophies and side jobs each raise their own pop-up in a heist. Stay on the main menu until it is done: starting a heist stops the run, and the few unlocks still waiting for an answer show as earned, with their rewards, after you restart the game. Pressing the button again later does the rest. Nothing is sent to other players.
