Blasterbug: Last Bug Standing! has 49 achievements, including hidden achievements. Most of them are straightforward and can be completed in single-player, although using a controller alongside the keyboard makes some challenges much easier.
The full completion difficulty is around 3/10, but expect roughly 4 hours because of the coin and sticker grinding.
Blasterbug Last Bug Standing 100% Achievement Guide
All achievements can be earned in single-player. For the more complicated challenges, use a controller and keyboard so one character can remain mostly stationary while you work on the requirement.
For achievements involving multiple opponents, set the NPCs to Level 1 difficulty. This makes them much easier to control.
The Advanced Rules menu in Battle Mode is also extremely useful. You can adjust settings such as fuse duration, movement speed, flame spread, win count, and damage protection. Change these settings whenever they make a particular achievement easier.
The biggest grind is 10,000 coins, which is also needed for unlocking stickers, characters, and maps. A good approach is to farm around 5,000 coins first, then finish the remaining 5,000 later.

Coin Hoarder
Farm a total of 10,000 coins.
The easiest method is to play a 1v1 Death Battle using a keyboard-controlled character and a controller-controlled character.
Recommended setup:
- Mode: Death Battle
- Players: 1v1
- Map: Temple
- Use one character as the inactive player
Walk toward the other character and use a bomb to instantly defeat them. This gives you 10 coins. After the round, a statue drops and additional coins appear.
Start the timer just as the statue falls so you can quickly collect the coins and restart.
Repeat this process until you reach 10,000 coins.

Stickerest
You’ll need to unlock every sticker.
First, farm a large number of coins because you’ll need roughly 4,000 coins for the sticker collection.
Go to the Bug Yard from the main menu. You may need to complete the tutorial first. Speak to the elderly bug on the left, then return later.
Kick a bomb into the tin can on the left to blow open the hidden entrance.
Inside, use the coin-operated machine to unlock stickers.
Each new sticker makes the chance of receiving another new sticker lower, eventually dropping from 100% to around 2%. Adding more coins increases the probability, so spend additional coins whenever possible.
You can check your sticker collection by entering the Collections area inside the shoe.
Combat Achievements
Fire in the Hole
Start a 1v1 Crown Battle and don’t take the crown, giving you unlimited time.
Collect as many power-ups as possible until you have a large amount of explosive power. Then drop several bombs in succession.
The achievement should unlock once you create a sufficiently large explosion.
Dodge This
Use a 1v1 Crown Battle.
Collect enough bomb upgrades and obtain the Line ability, represented by a row of bombs.
Hold the bomb button and lay down a long line of bombs. With enough explosive power, the achievement should trigger.
Slide Kill
Start a 1v1 Crown Battle and collect explosive power-ups.
Kick a bomb toward your opponent so it slides and explodes before reaching them.
If the bomb doesn’t slide, collect the Slide power-up, represented by a cannon, and try again.
Drop Kill
Use the same setup as Slide Kill.
Drop a bomb and use the punch attack while it is falling, then allow it to explode. Mashing the attack button can make the timing easier.
Killing Spree
This should happen naturally, but you can make it easier by fighting several Level 1 NPCs.
Crown Battle is a good choice because the NPCs will naturally move toward the crown. Drop bombs carefully and eliminate several opponents.
Multi-kill
Fight a group of Level 1 NPCs and repeatedly eliminate multiple enemies.
This should unlock naturally while working toward the other combat achievements.
This is Sparta!
Start a 1v1 match on Volcano.
Punch your opponent into the lava on the left side of the arena. It may take a few attempts to get the positioning right.
Geneva Suggestion
Start a 1v1 Crown Battle.
Take the crown and win without dropping a bomb.
True Pacifist
Start a 1v1 Crown Battle.
Take the crown and simply survive until the timer runs out. Don’t attack your opponent.
Reverse Card
You can unlock this by killing yourself.
In a 1v1 Crown Battle, punch one of your own bombs into a wall so it rebounds toward you. Allow the bomb to hit and kill you.
It may take several attempts to get the timing right.
We Call It Ping Pong
Use a wall to bounce a bomb back and forth.
The treasure chest in the Aquarium map is useful because it gives you an easy reference point for lining up the bomb.
Punch the bomb toward the wall, then hit it again when it returns. The timing is important: hit it as early as possible so it doesn’t travel too far away.
Floor Is Lava
Perform the same bomb-punching technique as We Call It Ping Pong, but maintain the sequence for 10 seconds.
The treasure chest in Aquarium is again a useful reference point.
Pandemic
This one is more complicated.
Open Advanced Rules and increase the number of poison power-ups. The green mushroom at the bottom of the power-up settings is the poison item.
Start a Crown Battle against Level 1 NPCs on the Classic arena.
Break blocks until the poison mushroom appears, then grab it and try to infect as many NPCs as possible.
The effect isn’t always contagious, so you may need several attempts. If you obtain the power-up that makes your character giant, use it to run into several NPCs at once.
Tear Down This Wall
On any map, punch 10 blocks until they break.
A 1v1 Crown Battle is a simple way to complete this without interference.
Pet Sitter
The mounts are the circular objects that can be picked up.
Start a 1v1 Crown Battle, grab a mount, take the crown, and survive until the timer expires.
Bakuen Cross Attack
Start a 1v1 Crown Battle and leave the crown untouched.
Wait for power-ups to appear and collect as many as possible. Once you’re heavily powered up, run around the arena planting bombs.
The resulting chain reactions should eventually unlock the achievement.
If you die, you can collect your dropped power-ups and try again.
Old School
This is straightforward.
Start a 1v1 Crown Battle and complete the required objective. The simple 1v1 setup makes this achievement easy to obtain.
El Classico
This should unlock by trapping yourself with your own bombs.
Start placing bombs around yourself until you become trapped. You may need several bombs before the achievement triggers.
Umm… Awkward
Start a 1v1 Death Battle.
Collect explosion power-ups, then place a bomb so that the explosion kills both you and your opponent at the same time.
Close Call
Start a 1v1 Sudden Death match.
Let the timer run out, then kill your opponent or allow them to be eliminated automatically.
Make It Twice
Complete the required condition twice.
A 1v1 Crown Battle or Sudden Death match makes this much easier to set up.
They Don’t Just Want Money. They Want ALL of the Money
Start a 1v1 Coin Battle.
Collect one coin each, then wait until the timer expires. Win the match during overtime to trigger the achievement.
What Are You Waiting For Exactly
Start a 1v1 Sudden Death match and avoid attacking until the match reaches overtime.
This should unlock naturally.
Stay Fresh
Start a 1v1 Paint Battle.
Use bombs to cover the arena with paint. Try to paint the entire floor and complete the round.
King of the (Ant) Hill
Start a 1v1 Crown Battle.
Take the crown and hold it until the end of the round.
Advanced Challenge Achievements
Master of All Trades
This can be somewhat inconsistent because you need to satisfy multiple victory conditions.
Set the player speed to 5 to speed things up and start a Party Battle with a win count of 11.
Try to win through every available victory condition. You may need to replay the mode a few times before the achievement registers.
Watch Out! Watch Out
Start a 1v1 Punch Battle and win by punching your opponent.
W-Why Is It Wearing a Tutu
Start a 1v1 Gerbil Race.
Avoid the pits and finish the race first.
Any Resemblance Is Purely Coincidental
In a 1v1 match, knock the required item forward and into the hole.
Continue doing this until you win.
We All Float Down Here
Start a 1v1 Bubble Bugs match.
Let your opponent die first to complete the requirement.
Map-Specific Achievements
Blasters of the Lost Scarab
Start a 1v1 Crown Battle on Temple.
First, bomb the golden scarab in the center of the map. It will fall toward the bottom.
Punch the scarab toward the right as the screen scrolls. Look for the scarab-shaped indentation on the floor and push the golden scarab into it.
The indentation’s location can vary, so keep the scarab near the center of the screen whenever possible. You may also need to destroy skulls blocking your route.
The achievement should unlock as soon as the scarab enters the indentation, and several power-ups will appear.
Bramble Blast
Go to the Garden map.
Look for the purple object with eyes surrounded by thorny green vines.
Bomb around this area until your bomb changes into a bramble. The achievement should unlock automatically.
Kali Ma Shakti De
Go to the Volcano map.
Look for one of the small volcanoes with faces. Punch a bomb into one of them.
The arena is cramped, so positioning can be difficult. Keep trying until the bomb enters the volcano.
Ring of Fire
This is one of the trickier achievements.
Open Advanced Rules and set:
- Fuse duration: 5 seconds
- Walk speed: 5
Start a 1v1 Crown Battle on Attic.
Destroy the walls until you have a mostly open arena.
You need the power-up represented by a cannon, which allows you to kick bombs so that they slide.
Kick a bomb into one of the doors and try to make it continue sliding through the connected doors before exploding.
The exact trigger isn’t especially obvious, but the bomb appears to need to travel through a near-complete loop of doors before exploding.
Keep trying with additional power-ups if necessary.
