Iron Blight Achievements Guide: All 22 Steam Unlocks
Unlock all 22 Iron Blight Steam achievements with official requirements, route links, challenge-mode notes, and a Patch 1.04 verification date.
On this page+
Iron Blight has 22 Steam achievements. This checklist uses the requirements shown on Steam's public achievement page, then points you to the route, equipment, and mode guides that help with the relevant run. Steam's current list leaves the requirement for the hidden Red Express achievement undisclosed, so this page does not present an unverified condition as fact.
Story achievements
| Achievement | Official Steam requirement | Useful guide |
|---|---|---|
| I'll Be Back | Finish the prologue. | Full walkthrough |
| Nobody Sleeps Here Anymore | Finish the St. Toma Dormitory. | St. Toma Dormitory route |
| Prasnova No More | Finish the Prasnova District. | Prasnova route |
| End Of The Line | Complete the main campaign. | Full walkthrough |
Combat achievements
| Achievement | Official Steam requirement | Practical reminder |
|---|---|---|
| Like A Watermelon | Gib a mutant's head. | Keep headshots deliberate; do not spend ammunition only for this early. |
| Double Tap | Kill a downed mutant before it gets up. | Confirm the threat is down before using a finishing shot. |
| Blood Piñata | Gib a mutant's head with a melee weapon. | Attempt it only when the area gives you room to retreat. |
| Harder They Fall | Kill a Gora. | Save before a named-enemy encounter if a clean retry matters. |
| Economy Class | Kill 2 mutants with a single shot. | A close, lined-up pair is safer than forcing the shot. |
| AAAAA Put A Boot In It | Stun 20 zombies with the kick. | Treat the kick as space-making, not as a replacement for an exit. |
| Even Death May Die | Kill a Kuvalda. | Keep a recovery save before the encounter. |
| Get Off Me | Push 4 mutants with a single kick. | This is easiest to attempt only when several enemies are already grouped. |
| Clay Pigeon | Kill a Gopnik while it's airborne. | Avoid assuming every airborne enemy is the required target. |
Collection achievements
| Achievement | Official Steam requirement | Useful guide |
|---|---|---|
| The Hoarder | Pick up 50 items. | Inventory guide |
| Na Zdorovye! | Get drunk. | Keep a safe moment for the interaction. |
| Alpha Operator | Find all gun mods. | Weapon attachment locations |
| A Souvenir From Pakistan. | Find the MP5. | Recheck the current route before committing to a missable detour. |
| Soviet Steel | Find all guns. | Weapons and route order |
MP5 and Soviet Steel status
Steam confirms that the MP5 exists and that Soviet Steel requires every gun. It does not publish the MP5 pickup location. The wiki therefore marks the MP5 as confirmed but its location as pending direct current-build verification; it does not call the timestamped weapons route a complete all-guns route yet. Keep a pre-final save if this collection matters to your run.
Challenge and hidden achievements
| Achievement | Official Steam requirement | What is confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Blightbreaker | Complete the campaign on Hardcore difficulty. | Patch 1.02 changed the Hardcore damage multiplier, so use a current build. |
| Iron Might | Complete the campaign on Ironman Mode. | Steam confirms the mode requirement; its full rules are not described in the official patch notes. |
| Recorded | Complete the campaign in Cassette Tape Mode. | Steam confirms the mode requirement. Patch 1.01 fixed campaign-completion achievement awarding. |
| Red Express | Hidden on Steam. | Steam does not show a public requirement. Check it only after a clean completed run. |
Plan a clean achievement run
- Update Steam before beginning a long challenge run. Patch 1.01 fixed several campaign-completion achievement awards, and later patches changed saves, map behavior, combat, and sickness.
- Finish a normal route first with the walkthrough, collecting weapons and attachments as your inventory allows.
- Use a separate save before an optional weapon, a named enemy, or a major puzzle. Do not overwrite your only pre-encounter save while testing an achievement.
- Start Hardcore, Ironman, or Cassette Tape Mode only after checking the difficulty and modes guide and the latest patch notes.
Are Recorded and Red Express currently confirmed?
Recorded is listed on Steam with the requirement to complete the campaign in Cassette Tape Mode. Steam's global achievement data also shows that some players have earned it. Patch 1.01 specifically fixed achievement awarding for Recorded, Blightbreaker, Iron Might, and campaign-completion conditions. Red Express remains a hidden Steam achievement, so its exact requirement is intentionally not stated here.
Verification and sources
Achievement names and public requirements were checked on September 6, 2026 against Steam's Iron Blight achievement page and the official Patch 1.01 announcement. See current patch notes before following launch-week advice.
