Riftspinner Achievements

76 achievements, 1,420 points, and how to earn them.

Riftspinner has 76 achievements worth 1,420 points in total. They unlock automatically as you play, with a popup when you earn one, and you can browse all of them with progress bars from the ACHIEVEMENTS button on the main menu. This guide lists every public achievement, explains tiers and points, and points out the ones worth planning for.

How achievements work

• Lifetime counters. Most achievements count your totals across every run: kills, dashes, missions, crates and so on. A few count your best single run, such as reaching a wave or defeating 250 hosts in one go.
• Popups. An unlock popup shows the name, what you did and the points. If several unlock together they queue, two at a time, so you never miss one.
• Points and tiers. Each achievement is worth between 5 and 100 points. Under 10 points is Bronze, 10 to 19 Silver, 20 to 39 Gold and 40 or more Platinum. Your total points and completion percentage appear at the top of the screen.
• Progress bars. Locked achievements that need a count show how close you are, and the screen sorts the closest ones first.
• Hidden achievements. 4 achievements are secret and stay hidden until you earn them. They reward things like surviving a close call or playing a certain way.
• Rarity. The screen shows what share of players have each achievement, labelled common, uncommon, rare or ultra rare. It uses an anonymous counter with no personal data.
• Credit for past play. The first time you open the game after achievements arrived, progress you had already made is credited quietly, with no popups.
• Practice does not count. The tutorial earns nothing except its own achievement.
• Resetting. Reset account on the main menu also clears your achievements.

Combat achievements

Kills, elites, Monarchs and melee. These count across every run you ever play.

Survival achievements

Waves, run length, flawless clears and both rifts. Wave goals are counted on the map they name.

Rigs achievements

Unlocking rigs and proving you can win with them.

Loot achievements

Legendaries, the forge, goblin cells and ash.

Events achievements

Missions, shrines, crates, barrels and dashes.

Progress achievements

The Ash Market, mutations, lifesteal, daily tasks and the achievement milestones themselves.

The hardest achievements

These are worth 40, 50, 100 points each and take real commitment: Apoptosis, Breach Closed, Scar Walker, Rig Master, Treasure Hunter, Completionist. Most of them come from long-term goals, so plan around them: reach the end of Rift I, unlock Rift II, catch goblin cells, and finish the rigs. The strategy guide covers how to survive that long.

Easy early achievements

Several unlock in your first few runs with no extra effort: starting a run, your first kill, finishing the tutorial, reaching waves 5 and 10, completing a mission and finishing a shrine. Each is Bronze, so you will see your completion percentage move quickly. Daily tasks add more, because each of the three tasks counts toward the daily achievements.

Tips for completing the list

• Pick up the Ash Market milestones as you go: buying your first rank, 50 ranks and maxing one upgrade. See the Ash Market guide.
• Take Siphon-style mutations and lifesteal gear when you want the healing achievements.
• Try every rig at least to wave 10. The rig achievements count different rigs, so variety pays.
• Play Rift II once you unlock it: it has its own wave achievements and is where the biggest points are.
