Descenders is an action-packed downhill biking experience that offers a wide variety of stunts that you can pull while rolling down a mountain range. Most of the achievements in this game are earned during your career playthrough and shouldn’t pose any difficulty to get.
If you’re a completionist, then this guide is for you. Some of the achievements will be clustered into bigger ones as doing the main achievements would also give you the side achievements you can get in the game.
There are a total of 40 achievements and you would normally need two playthroughs needed to get them all.
Full Achievement Walkthrough |100% – Descenders
Bring A Friend
This achievement can be acquired by playing through a level with one or more buddies. You don’t necessarily need to invite someone to play a game since you can just join a public game and earn the achievement through there.
Into The Woods
Reach The Forest, which is the second world in Career mode. To unlock this world, you need to get through the boss level in Highlands. It would be indicated by a skull icon on the world map.
Bear in mind that each instance is unique so the number of levels you would need to complete will be random at each run.
The Rampage Begins
Complete The Forest map’s boss level to reach The Canyon and you’ll automatically unlock this achievement.
The Final Challenge
As before, finish The Canyon’s boss level to unlock The Peaks. This could be done by jumping over a large canyon and safely landing through the finish line on the other side.
Made it
You would need to complete The Peaks’ boss level to unlock this achievement, but there are two circumstances to complete it. We suggest completing the fire node in this level (flame icon on the map) to unlock the easier boss level jump. If the fire node isn’t completed, it would be slightly difficult with two jumps.
The Golden Run (Also unlocks “True Descender”)
This is the most difficult achievement in the game as it requires you to complete the Career mode, from Highlands to The Peaks, without crashing even once.
True Descender, in the same fashion, would just need to be a full run without losing all your lives.
It Begins
Get sponsored by any of the three teams in the game. To get a sponsorship, you need to complete a special team node (depicted using a red blue and green pie chart). Choose any team and complete the level for the sponsorship.
Once you accept the sponsorship, the achievement will unlock.
Ain’t No Scrub (Also unlocks “Carving a Path” and “Found Your Flow”)
This set of achievements focuses on the Rep points (Reputation) you get from playing the game. Reputation can be earned executing various stunts and feats during your Career or Career+ mode. Here are the Rep points you need to earn for each achivement:
Carving a Path: 10,000 REP
Found Your Flow: 50,000 REP
Ain’t No Scrub: 250,000 REP
These achievements automatically unlock once you cross the REP threshold needed.
Quite A Collection (Also unlocks “Get Some Gear” and “It’s Getting Cluttered in Here”)
These achievements can be earned by unlocking a certain amount of items in the game.
Get Some Gear: Unlock 10 items
It’s Getting Cluttered in Here: Unlock 25 Items
Quite a Collection: Unlock 50 items
You’re Still here?
You can access the credits by going to the lobby map, press the start button then select Extras> Credits. Ride through the credits and finish to unlock this achievement
What a Legend
You can unlock Career+ mode after reaching 250,000 REP from all your sessions. Once you unlock, you need to finish Career+ without losing all your lives. You only get 4 lives when you start the game.
Wipeout
This achievement can be unlocked by crashing your bike. Probably the easiest and most fun achievement to unlock.
Gap In the Market
For this achievement, you would need to complete 10 mini-bosses in the map. Each world has a unique mini-boss. Make all the jumps in each map and an orange text will indicate if you have completed the jump needed for that particular area.
Show em who’s Boss
Complete any boss jump without getting REKT and this achievement will automatically unlock.
The Training Was Worth It
Pretty straightforward. In the Highlands boss track, there would be a moving train. You would need to jump over it to unlock this achievement. It doesn’t matter if you don’t stick the landing, you’ll get the achievement as long as you complete the jump.
Represent Your Style
After you choose your team, you would need to complete a team node. Like how you got sponsored, just go to any of the sponsored tracks (red blue and green pie chart icon) and complete the track to unlock this.
Dialed In
This achievement is unlocked when you get shortcuts. To unlock shortcuts, complete the previous world’s bonus objective on the last boss track three times.
Flipping Heck
Stuns will play a huge chunk in getting this achievement as this one needs you to land a double frontflip. Once you do the flips, the achievement will unlock.
Every Axis
Back to stunts, this one requires you to land (not crash) a 360 frontflip.
Getting Dizzy
This is another stunt requirement. To unlock this achievement you would need to land a 720 double backflip.
Speed Demon
Just like the name suggests, you need to go very fast. You would need to reach a speed of 100km/h to get this one. We recommend going through fire nodes to get this achievement.
Pull My Finger
It’s all fun and games until someone whips out the whoopee cushion. While it relies a lot on your RNG, this achievement automatically unlocks when you use the whoopee cushion 200 times.
Don’t Look Down
This achievement automatically unlocks after you complete the boss jump in the Volcano map. This world is unlocked by completing the fire node level in each world in career mode and you would need to jump through the flaming hoop that appears in each boss level.
Go the Extra Mile
Unlock this achievement by completing all the bonus worlds.
Flying Finish
It must be done in Career or Career+ and at any level. You would need to crash land onto the finish line.
Veteran
The most time consuming achievement, it requires you to complete all the 48 objectives in daily sponsor tasks. As only three tasks are unlocked each day, you would have to wait a few days to finish this achievement.
Bring a Friend
Finish a level in multiplayer mode. Just go to Ride from the start menu then select Casual Lobby. Pick a session and finish the track to unlock this achievement.
Get the Gang Together
You need to have three crew members with different colored perks. To gain this achievement, finish a session with these crew members.
And that’s all the achievements found in Descenders! Good luck to all completionists!
