If you’re aiming to fully complete Deadzone Rogue, this Deadzone Rogue Achievement Guide breaks down every achievement in a clean, practical way while reflecting the current state of the game.
The core achievements remain unchanged, but the Apophis (Zone 4) expansion has made progression smoother, especially for high-difficulty and grind-heavy objectives. If you are a new player or returning after the update, this guide is structured to help you plan your path to 100% completion efficiently.
Deadzone Rogue Achievement Guide – Apophis Expansion (December Update)
The free Apophis Expansion introduces Zone 4, weapon forging, new enemies, and major quality-of-life improvements.
While no new achievements were added, this update significantly helps with:
- Nightmare and Expert difficulty clears
- Scrap and Tech farming
- Legendary and Superior gear acquisition
- Long-term power growth through weapon forging
All achievements listed below are still required for full completion.
Resource & Collection Achievements
These unlock naturally through extended play and progression.
- Collect 500 Scrap
- Collect 50,000 Scrap
- Collect 100,000 Scrap

These focus on enemy elimination and combat interactions.
- Kill your first Android
- Kill 500 Androids
