There are a lot of skill-based achievements in Syndicate, so we’ve whipped up just as many videos showing exactly how to get the job done. The rest require nothing more than some good old-fashioned time, especially those involving co-op. Just make sure to check each achievement carefully to see if there is a difficulty level requirement.
What some achievements won’t tell you is whether or not they are available in single-player or co-op only. As such, descriptions for achievements that are attainable only during co-op are preceded by “(CO-OP).” Happy hunting!
All Aboard
20g/Bronze
Complete chapters 2, 3, 4, and 5 on normal or hard difficulty
Self-explanatory. This will unlock as you progress through the campaign, provided you aren’t on easy difficulty.
Ambassador of Peace
15g/Bronze
Kill enemy soldiers of two different syndicates fast enough to receive a rampage energy bonus
This should happen naturally during Milestone 19. There are two syndicates fighting during this chapter, so it’s hard not to fulfill the requirements. Hack the turret at the beginning of the chapter and the work will be done for you.
Application Manager
20g/Bronze
Do 10,000 points of damage and heal or block 10,000 points of damage using applications
This will likely happen naturally around the end of the campaign. If you want a lot of healing points quickly, just join a co-op game and constantly heal your teammates.
Augmented Reality
15g/Bronze
Kill 3 specters in chapter 14 without using EMP effects on them, on normal or hard difficulty
In order to see the specters more clearly, use your DART Overlay. Just turn it on and take them out. There are a lot more than just 3 specters in chapter 14, so don’t worry about missing your opportunities.
Business is War
50g/Gold
Complete all chapters which track difficulty, on hard difficulty
Hard isn’t as hard as you might expect in this game. Just make liberal (but smart) use of your DART Overlay to turn the tides in your favor. Make sure to never stray far from cover, and always use persuade first if you’re fighting multiple baddies at once.
Campaign: Downzone
20g/Bronze
Complete chapters 12, 13, 14, and 15 on normal or hard difficulty
Self-explanatory. This will unlock as you progress through the campaign, provided you are not on easy difficulty.
Campaign: Eurocorp
20g/Bronze
Complete chapters 7 and 8 on normal or hard difficulty
Self-explanatory. This will unlock as you progress through the campaign, provided you are not on easy difficulty.
Campaign: La Ballena
20g/Bronze
Complete chapters 10 and 11 on normal or hard difficulty
Self-explanatory. This will unlock as you progress through the campaign, provided you are not on easy difficulty.
CEO
100g/Gold
100% completion (level, research, and challenges)
(CO-OP) This only applies to completion of the co-op portion. You can check your overall progress in the agent menu. The level cap is currently 30. You can check your challenge progress (and what you need to do to complete each one) in the contracts and challenges sub-menu. There’s no quick way to do this, but it’s important to always have any uncompleted challenges in mind and always have something being researched. In time, this achievement will unlock.
