EVERSPACE 2 Achievements Guide - Tigore's Tips (2024)

Automatic story achievement/trophy. This will unlock after completing/aborting your first rift during the main mission Paving the Way.

Each time you level up, you will be given a token to upgrade devices. Once you have 4, select a device from the Ship tab and upgrade it (hold A/X) 4 times. Focus first on the devices needed for the conditional achievements below.

Completing Khala’s Location Scanner Perk will allow you to track progress and view what you are missing at each location on the map. You will need to get 100% at every location for the achievement/trophy to unlock. Press D-Pad Down on the star map to easily see the percent completion at each location. It’s recommended that you purchase and fly a small, fast ship like the Vanguard or Scout to make squeezing into some of the tight spaces easier while searching for secret stashes which come in the following types.

• Valuable Shipwreck
• Bulletproof Container
• Secure Container
• Ancient Jar
• Radiant Spore

Ships can be purchased from shops with a triangle icon on the map with the cheapest ships starting around 15,000 credits. You can reduce the cost by opting to trade-in your current ship.

• Tier I: 15k
• Tier I+: 30k
• Tier II: 100k
• Tier II+: 150k
• Tier III: 300k
• Tier III+: 400k
• Tier IV: 850-900k (see Top Tier below for details)

Tier 4 ships only unlock after completing Tareen’s Ship Dealers Perk and are only sold from Kato’s Palace in Prescott Starbase. Focus on getting this done early, since it will require a lot of resources to craft the required materials. If you have Khala’s Location Scanner Perk, you can view where the resources are that you still need. Then equip a scanner with long range resource scanning and a flak cannon to quickly collect the resources.

Find or purchase each of the following devices in the game. All devices are placed in secret stashes around the star map and most can also be purchased from specific traders.

1. Annihilator Virus: Purchase at Noah Damaris Starport’s G&B Union Branch in the Union System for 2,600 credits.
2. Corrosion Injector: Purchase at the Flying Dutchess for 3,100 credits.
3. EMP Generator: Received from the main mission Flying Blind.
4. Energized Boost: Received from the main mission From Scratch.
5. Front Shield Generator: Purchase at Coalition Cargo Terminal in the Drake System for 2,650 credits.
6. Fusion Hook: Found in the Ancient Depot in the Zharkov System.
7. Magnetic Repulsor: Purchase at Ceto Orbit in the Ceto System for 2,950 credits.
8. Missile Defense System: Purchase at Anandra Bishop Starport in the Union System for 2,850 credits.
9. Nano Transmitter: Purchase at Prescott Starbase’s G&B Office & Hangar in the Union System for 2,600 credits.

Challenges are tracked under the Data tab and the Master challenge is unlocked after completing the basic challenges. Once it is unlocked, you can see and complete the challenge. An easy master challenge to complete early is under Ceto Explorer.

• Visit all of Ceto’s regions: Make sure you fly into each of the regions while in the Ceto System, including Open Space in the southeast corner.
• Complete 10 location challenges: Complete 10 of the unknown location challenges while navigating the Ceto System.
• Complete 3 distress calls: Finish 3 random distress calls while exploring the Ceto System.
• Get very close to the sun: Head toward Ceto Orbit, then change course and fly directly toward the sun (a proximity alert will show) until the challenge completes.

Sticky Turrets only stick to rough surfaces (asteroids/ground not ships/structures). Locate a small group of enemies and lure them to the side of an asteroid. Then, drop a few Sticky Turrets and wait for the achievement/trophy to unlock.

Use the ultimate power while flying a Sentinel to destroy at least 5 enemies at once. This is best done by flying close to a Drone Carrier and pressing D-Pad Up to activate Static Overload. Then, fire Static Overload at the carrier and it will arc to the nearby drones, destroying them.

This achievement/trophy was broken in the original 1.0 release of the game, but has since been fixed as of 1.0.33633.

Equip the Energized Boost device from the Ship menu and fully upgrade it to Mastered. Then, press RT 3 times to cycle down to the High Pressure mode. Next, look for a space battle that has 3 enemies near each other and aim your ship at them. Hold X to bring up the devices menu and press D-Pad in the direction where Energized Boost is slotted. Shortly after flying through the pack of enemies, the achievement or trophy will unlock.

First, equip both the EMP Generator and the Magnetic Repulsor (purchased at Ceto Orbit in the Ceto System for 2,950 credits, upgrades help). Next, jump into a battle and take out everything except one drone at your level. Then, trigger an EMP (hold X/Square and press the D-Pad in the direction of the EMP) when the drone is near yours. Finally, face the drone with it close to your ship and hit it with the Magnetic Repulsor (hold X/Square and press the D-Pad in the direction of the device). The achievement/trophy will unlock if the drone is destroyed with the final hit from the device.

Fire the Fusion Hook (no upgraded required) at a target (does not need to be a ship), then pull back on the left stick to reverse your direction. After a few seconds the achievement/trophy will unlock.

When you are targeted by a Sniper Drone, enable the Front Shield Generator (purchase at Coalition Cargo Terminal in the Drake System for 2,650 credits, no upgrades required) which lasts 15 seconds. Then, face the drone head-on. After the 2nd shot, the achievement/trophy will unlock.

You will encounter your first rift during the main mission Paving the Way, but the ability to trigger and modify rifts will not be available until after completing the story. Increasing the Lunacy level will increase the difficulty and rewards associated with a set of rifts. Each set is made up of 4 encounters and you can choose which modifier you want between encounters by choosing which portal you enter next.

It is recommended that you start with a lower Lunacy level and increase as you unlock better equipment and make sure you are using a fully upgraded Tier IV ship with a legendary primary weapon with high damage and recharge.

Commodities may be bought and sold with traders throughout the game. Purchase a stack of commodities at a low (green) price and sell them in another system for a high (green) price.

Hold onto a full stack of 20 Solar Panels and wait until you reach the Zharkov System. Then, fly to Devana Gas Orbit and call the Flying Dutchess to come and trade. Then, sell the full stack for 5,200 credits and the achievement/trophy will pop.

This will be one of the last achievements/trophies to unlock and can be frustrating to earn. The best method is to purchase a Tier 4 ship that is small and fast (Vanguard/Scout) and make sure you have a Recharge Booster installed and an Energy Core with high Output Boost. Races are found in the following locations:

• Ceto
  • Alcyone Station
  • Charybdis Bowl
  • Ghost Fleet
• Union
  • Ayres Relay Station
  • Prescott Starbase
  • Zharkov Border Control
• Drake
  • Alpha Draco Claim I
  • Letho Starport
• Zharkov
  • Gas Field
• Khait Nebula
  • Okrot Trading Station
