Coaster Addict, Ride the Coaster, I Can See My Home From Here and “Smart Investor” doesn’t seem to want to put or progress for me. I’ve ridden Poseidon twice, Used different viewers on Project 12 and on the board walk and bought about 14 barrels of beer and I haven’t gotten progress or completion.

My wheel of nothing progress is stuck at 3/20 and i have repeatedly rolled nothings since.
Please investigate this one. Maybe it’s partially broken for older players, or can others confirm it won’t increment? I’m quoting a 09/21 post and it’s almost 06/22

2 Zombie Massacre kill count achievements. Not sure if it’s because of my account, but these two don’t progress at all.

I Can’t Believe It’s a Massacre

Extreme Prejudice

While I still believe the triggers for these achievements should be re-worked, all of these should be currently possible:

  • Ride the Coaster/Coaster Addict: The start and end trigger is when the coaster stops to drop off people. You will have to stay on it for a good while for it to start triggering. Make sure you’re not AFK.
  • I Can See My Home From Here: Use the viewfinder specifically on the lighthouse
  • Smart Investor: You specifically have to buy Beer Bottles from Project 12. There seems to be a bug though that you can only buy those one at a time, so have a lot of patience.

If none of these work then hopefully the devs make them obtainable again

Not really broken per se, but the “A Worthy Offering To The Gods” achievement is misleading, as it requires you to sink 25 shots that don’t hit the UFO, even though hitting the UFO doesn’t mean the ball won’t go into one of the cups afterwards. Clarifying the description text would probably help.

i just did these a while ago and i wish i wrote it down. i do remember having some trouble.

the devs should make the description clearer as to say if you need to create the instance (be owner) or not. I think there’s more like this one where you have to buy the condo.

Like Deadly_Tiger and herbert.motion reported, it seems that the ZM achievements Ribs Grow Back You Know, I Can’t Believe It’s a Massacre, and Extreme Prejudice do not count progress at all. I have not seen any notes on Trello about this, so I was wondering if there were any updates on this? Thanks.

I’ll work on a fix.

The achievements that have either not progressed or haven’t activated upon completion of task are as follows:

Gears of Con - Did what the achievement wanted 10 times minimum, still locked. Used all coins hitting 3X first and then jackpot, no pop. Used 1 coin for 3X and 1 for jackpot, no pop.

FOR GEARS OF CON: This achievement is possible but you must do it within one spin of the wheel. You can’t wait a few spins to get the timing right, has to be done all in one spin (you must hit the jackpot within ~1-2 seconds of hitting 3x)

A Worth Offering To The Gods - Have completed it under several different circumstances (didn’t hit UFO, made sure each ball triggered both audio/visual cue, etc.) still won’t unlock

I Can’t Believe It’s A Massacre! and Extreme Prejudice - Both aren’t progressing, despite other zombie killing achievements unlocking

Ribs Grow Back You Know - Doctors healing from special ability isn’t ticking/counting towards the achievement. (Only works in co-op)

"Smart" Investor - The devs are aware of the process this achievement requires but this is a list of all broken achievements that I can find. Including the process of obtaining said achievement. Can only buy beer 1 at a time currently from Project 12 and Nightclub

(Any Ball Race Stage) Collector - Ball Race melon collecting is bugged. Not every melon collected counts towards your total of 500 for each stages’ achievement. Sometimes the 5-melon pick-ups don’t count, sometimes the melons collected on Bonus Stages count and sometimes not.

I got the two hour movie theater achievement Our feature presentation was given to me before I hit two hours of watching anything, I was maybe half way if that and it shows 1/1/1970 as the time I earned it

Ride the Poseidon coaster and use a view finder don’t work for me!

I did ride it but its not giving me the achievements. same with view finder.

Ride the Coaster achievement is obtainable (but wonky) by riding the coaster twice without leaving. Its because most of the time players get on the coaster in the loading area even though the game is recognizing the coaster has 1% completed it’s loop, so technically the game thinks the player did not do a full loop (causing conufusion on why the achievement is broken.)

So riding it twice without leaving ensures you at least start at 0% loop completion and eligible for the achievement.


For the View Finder achievement, it would seem the viewfinders at the lighthouse count, not the ones by the docks.


There is a “Achievement is broken” mega-thread if you want to discuss or read more about bugged achievements:

The three new Casino achievements related to Five Card Draw do not unlock for me. They unlock in game, but do not unlock outside of the game in Steam, and they reset to locked when I start up the game again. I can confirm that this is not the case for everyone because my friend was able to unlock all three achievements in game and in Steam just fine upon first try.

EDIT: Not sure if a coincidence or not, but I decided to try to unlock the achievements today again after the two recent hot patches and they unlocked just fine in game and outside of game in Steam. I was “feeling lucky punk” :wink: If you fixed this, Mac, thanks!


don’t know if this goes here but i reached the rank that tells you you unlocked the ticket gun and i didn’t get it

“A Worthy Offering To The Gods” seems to still be broken in a few ways:
One of the balls can sink into the front pink pockets, but not make a sound/animation that it has been confirmed, some balls can lean on each other inside the same pocket and become stuck until the timer runs out, and (randomly) when starting a game you may pick up a ball, but never throw it, forced to wait until the timer runs out or you abandon.
There does not seem to be a definitive way to get this achieve this, even if all balls sink into the cups without being hit by the UFO.

"A worthy offering to the gods" achievement isn’t working

I’ve genuinely done what was needed for the achievement about possibly around 15 times, I’ve paid attention and everything to how many balls have gone in and it’s genuinely not working. It makes me really upset since I was hoping to get the one material for ball race, but I can’t. I just really hope this can be fixed soon.

The three new Corrosion achievements unlock in-game and give you a chat announcement, but you don’t get them on Steam. If you close out the game and re-open, you don’t have the achievements in the Journal anymore but remain on Survive 25/25 and Infect 50/50.

I’ve asked a friend on Steam who had the achievements, and they had to keep unlocking them and they eventually unlocked on Steam. I’m not sure what’s going on with them.

Confirmed: This has been fixed. Thank you!
