Some of these achievements require multiple playthroughs or very specific conditions. Do not attempt them until you have completed the game in Standard mode and understand all mechanics.

Challenge Types and How to Trigger
| Challenge Type | Trigger Condition | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Time-based | Enter a house within a time limit | "Steal 3 items within 30 seconds" |
| Stealth | No detections during heist | "Complete house without being seen" |
| Destruction | Use force to enter | "Smash 3 windows in one heist" |
| Collection | Gather specific items | "Collect 5 electronics" |
| Tool mastery | Use specific tool set | "Open all doors with lockpicks" |
For "All-rounder," use a large house with multiple approaches. The ground floor can be stealth, basement can be destruction, and upstairs can be time-based. One house can satisfy all challenge types.
Speed Achievements (5)
These have strict time requirements.
| Achievement | Requirement | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Speed runner | Complete a heist under 2 minutes | Choose a small apartment, grab 2 items, exit immediately |
| Quick getaway | Escape police within 30 seconds | Trigger a minor alert near a hideout spot |
| Speed looter | Steal 5 items in under 1 minute | Pre-scout the house layout, sprint past everything |
| Rush hour | Complete 3 heists in under 30 minutes | Chain small houses back to back |
| Delivery of a lifetime | Complete an item request within 1 minute of receiving it | Keep the requested item in your inventory, accept the request, deliver immediately |
For "Speed runner," use the starter tutorial area's nearest house. It is a small layout with minimal loot but maximum speed. Grab any 2 items and exit.
Rare Condition Achievements (10)
These require unusual circumstances.
| Achievement | Requirement | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Lucky break | Find a rare item in a common container | Check every container -- rare items spawn randomly |
| Three and free | Escape from a 3-star police chase | Trigger max police alert, escape successfully |
| Ghost | Complete a heist without leaving any evidence | Use lockpicks, no broken windows, no knocked-out NPCs |
| Tool breaker | Break 10 tools total | Use lower-quality tools deliberately |
| Millionaire | Accumulate $1,000,000 total across all runs | Pure grind in late game |
| Untouchable | Go 10 runs without arrest | Play exclusively safe houses |
| Night owl | Complete 5 heists at night | Use the day-night cycle |
| Early bird | Complete 3 heists before the quota timer starts | Sprint through easy houses after each quota reset |
| Furniture collector | Buy 15 pieces of hideout furniture | Requires significant cash investment in non-essentials |
| Delivery service | Complete 25 item requests total | Regular item request completion |
"Three and Free" Strategy
- Deliberately trigger police attention (smash a window in front of a patrol car)
- Let your wanted level climb to 3 stars
- Break line of sight and hide in a closet or dumpster
- Stay hidden until the search timer de-escalates
- Escape the area without getting arrested
This is easier with the Driver role or any speed boost skill.
"Millionaire" is the grindiest achievement. At an estimated $2,000-$5,000 per hour in late-game, expect 40-60 hours of play. Completionist mode is recommended because uninterrupted heists are faster than quota-constrained ones.
Update 1.3 Achievements
Update 1.3 added several new achievements:
| Achievement | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gold fever | Smelt 10 gold bars | Requires gold bar collection and smelting |
| Jeweler | Appraise 10 jewelry pieces | Must distinguish authentic from fake |
| Dig deep | Fully upgrade the basement | Spend 18+ gold bars on all upgrades |
| PvP victor | Win 3 PvP competitions | Requires good tools and skill |
| Master key | Unlock the Master Key | Reach 1.3 content milestone |
Completion Tips
- Use Completionist mode for all hunting -- no quota pressure
- Stack achievements in single runs -- one large house can satisfy 3-4 achievement requirements
- Track your progress -- Steam overlay shows achievement progress percentage
- Backup saves for Hard mode achievements -- copy your save file before attempting risky runs
- The 100% Achievement Guide on Steam (linked below) is a work in progress but contains current community strategies
