Unlock Every The Outer Worlds 2 Trophy and Achievement with This Complete Guide

The Outer Worlds 2 just landed in early access, and if you live for pings and pop-ups, you are going to be very busy. We are talking 49 trophies and 48 achievements total, with some gloriously weird, very specific requirements mixed in. To save you a few dozen tabs and a headache, here is the full checklist of every trophy/achievement and exactly what you need to do to pop them. Pace yourself; a bunch of these are grindy on purpose.

So... how is it actually playing?

Short version: way better than a lot of people expected. The game rolled into early access carrying plenty of side-eye after the Avowed discourse and a brief, head-scratching price jump to 80 bucks before Microsoft walked it back. Not exactly a smooth pre-launch ride.

But early hands-on impressions are pretty glowing. Combat feels sharper, the audio work hits, and the RPG layer has depth without getting fussy. Missions apparently support a bunch of angles, and character builds actually matter in the moment-to-moment. In other words, it sounds like the sequel clears the bar set by the first game instead of tripping over it.

If you are trophy-hunting, bookmark this and chip away. And if you manage to knock out 'Anti-Consumerist' without accidentally buying a single thing, you have my respect and also my concern.
