All Atomfall Achievements (& How To Get Them)

Though it doesn’t take a terribly long time to beat Atomfall, achievements and trophies can significantly extend players’ time spent in-game. It might only take a few dozen hours to beat the game, but if you want to complete every Atomfall trophy and achievement, you will have to complete several playthroughs to complete relatively obscure objectives – and you can be locked out of certain achievements depending on your decisions.

The total number of achievements in Atomfall is 36, some of which are very easy to get, and others which may take you multiple playthroughs to achieve. This complete Atomfall trophy walkthrough guides players through each and every achievement in the game, including specific tips to help players complete some of the more arcane (or outright secret) achievements in Atomfall.
