All 69 Steam Achievements
Every unlock condition for How Many Dudes? — from your first boss win to family-only runs and long-haul grinds.
How Many Dudes? ships with 69 Steam achievements on PC. Roughly a third unlock naturally through bosses and progression; the rest demand single-family rosters, fixed five-Dude teams, single-battle stat thresholds, or cumulative counters that span many sessions.
This guide groups every achievement by type so you can plan the awkward ones instead of stumbling into them. Pair it with Metaprogression for Gold Star routes, Dudeconomy for economy trophies, and Daily Dude for the daily win unlock.
Unlocks register the instant their condition is met — stat feats pop mid-battle when the value crosses, while run-based entries confirm on the victory or loss screen.
Boss and Tier Progression
These come from beating fights and pushing through the three Tiers of Challenge.
| Achievement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|
| Boss Blaster | Win a boss battle |
| Silver Star Dude | Win a Silver Star boss fight |
| The G.O.A.T. | Defeat the G.O.A.T. to earn a Gold Star in Tier 1 |
| G.O.A.T. Crusher | Defeat the G.O.A.T. and all its minions in under 15 seconds |
| Freight Train | Defeat the Killipede to earn a Gold Star in Tier 2 |
| Cosmic Forces | Win the final boss battle in Tier 3 |
Planning tip: G.O.A.T. Crusher is the only speed-based boss entry here. Save burst Relics, consumables, and high-DPS Trinkets for round 105. See the G.O.A.T. Boss guide.
Single-Family Victory Runs
Six achievements require winning a full run using only Dudes from one Family. Commit from your first recruit — a single off-family Type voids the unlock.
| Achievement | Family required |
|---|---|
| Merely a Setback | Undead only |
| Workin’ 9 to 5 | Employed only |
| Warmonger | Warrior only |
| Fellowship of the Dudes | Fantasy only |
| Warp Speed | Sci-Fi only |
| Plot Armor | Action only |
Use Ensemble Mode to pre-post an all-family squad and Rematch Mode to retry without Main Run RNG.
Fixed Five-Dude Team Runs
Four unlocks name an exact five-Type lineup. You must win with that precise roster.
| Achievement | Required team |
|---|---|
| Big Pumpers | Ninja, Wizard, Ranger, Electrician, Trooper |
| On The Move | Cowboy, Alien, Samurai, Explorer, Wizard |
| Retaliation | Psionic, Agent, Paladin, Spartan, Druid |
| Support Squad | Alien, General, Lich, Time, Manager |
Treat each as a scripted composition. Pre-post all five Flyers in Ensemble or Rematch so off-roster Types never sneak in mid-run.
Collection and Mastery
| Achievement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|
| I’ve Seen Things | Discover 20 Collectibles |
| I’ve Seen Too Much | Discover every Collectible |
| Trinket Tinkerer | Discover every Trinket |
| I’m Every Dude | Discover every Dude Type |
| Dude Dabbler | Gold Star for at least one Dude Type from each Family |
| Dude Master | All Gold Stars for an individual Dude and its Relics |
| Family Dude | Gold Stars for all Dudes and Relics in one Family |
| Universal Dude | Gold Stars for every Universal Relic |
Dude Dabbler is the natural bridge from Tier 1 clears into long-term collection. Family Dude and Universal Dude are endgame grinds — see Relics hub for Universal Relic names.
Single-Battle Stat Thresholds
Each fires when one Dude hits the listed value inside a single fight. Pick long, enemy-heavy battles so numbers have time to climb.
| Achievement | Threshold |
|---|---|
| Self-Help | 15% Regeneration |
| The Perfect Crit | 67% Crit Chance |
| Mega Crits | 1,500% Crit Damage |
| Cleavin’ Steven | 1,000% Cleave |
| Dancing Shoes | 70% Evasion |
| Way of the Fist | 15 Attack Speed |
| Never Felt Better | 1,000 Max HP |
| Can’t Touch This | 5,000 Temporary Health |
| Liches Get Stitches | 10 stacks of Revenant |
| Absolute Unit | Grow to at least 1,000 centimeters tall |
| It’s Over 3,000 | 3,000 Average DPS on one Dude Type |
Stack the matching stat on one carry. Endless Mode waves past round 110 are ideal for DPS and Temp HP feats.
Big Single-Battle Kill and Defense Numbers
| Achievement | Condition |
|---|---|
| All You Can Eat | Defeat at least 100 Crabs in one battle |
| Necrodudicon | Summon at least 300 Skeledudes in one battle |
| No Thanks | Prevent 3,000,000 damage in one battle |
| I Wasn’t Worried | Get 100 Saves in one battle without losing |
Necrodudicon pairs naturally with Necrodude + skeleton Relics. No Thanks favors Knight, Paladin, and defensive Trinkets on dense waves.
Relic, Trinket, and Ability Triggers
| Achievement | Condition |
|---|---|
| Nuclear Codes | Launch a Nuke |
| De-Boned | Generate 3 Skeledudes via Gravestone in one battle |
| Overdue Charges | Build 1,000 stored damage on one Dude with Bad Credit Trinket |
| You In Particular | Zap one target with Bottled Lightning while 20+ enemies present |
| Juggler | Throw the same enemy 3 times with Meteors in one battle |
| M’Dude | Win a run with at least 20 stacks of Fedora Trinket |
| Doomer | Deal 300,000 damage with Mummy Dude’s Curse of Doom in one battle |
| Don’t Tase Me | Deal 250,000 damage with Taser in one battle |
| Anonymous | Hacker Dudes generate 100+ Exploits in one battle |
| Big Bunga | Throw one Bunga dealing 4,000 damage |
| Anger Management | Viking Dude reaches 200 stacks of Loki’s Arm in one battle |
| Alternative Medicine | Heal 50,000 in one battle with Medical License |
Note: v1.0.5-rc.9 reduced Medical License CPU load without changing throughput — Alternative Medicine is unchanged. v1.0.12-rc.2 fixed Warlock Unholy Grail damage transfer for Retaliation-style builds.
Economy and Shop
| Achievement | Condition |
|---|---|
| YOLO | Invest in the Baller Package at Business Dude |
| Fair Trade | Loan a Relic to Scavenger Dude |
| Profit-Driven Dude | Earn $30,000 profit from Business Dude in one run |
| Actuary | Collect $2,000+ Life Insurance payouts in one run |
| Out of Stock | Restock Merchant Dude’s shop 100 times |
| Coupon Clipper | Buy 100 Relics at discount using Coupon Relic |
Profit-Driven Dude and Actuary lean on Dudeconomy compound-interest routes. Out of Stock and Coupon Clipper are long-haul counters across many runs.
Long-Haul Cumulative Totals
These add up across battles and runs — never reset.
| Achievement | Total to reach |
|---|---|
| Yoink | Lifesteal 10,000,000 HP |
| Who Needs Healing? | Generate 50,000,000 Temporary Health |
| Try To Hit Me | Deflect 1,000,000 attacks |
| Baby Boomer | Defeat 50,000 Toddlers |
Baby Boomer happens naturally over dozens of Tier 1 runs. Yoink and Try To Hit Me favor Vampire and Knight/Paladin grinds respectively.
Restriction and Challenge Runs
| Achievement | Condition |
|---|---|
| Thirsty Dudes | Beat Round 80 without using any Dude Juice for the whole run |
| Iron Dude | Win without using consumables during any boss fight |
| Mob Mentality | Win without training any Regular Dudes at Dude Whisperer |
| Single-Minded Dude | Win with at least 40 of a single Dude Type on roster |
| Sensitivity Training | Win with Dudes from 5 Families plus a Smuggler Dude Relic |
Thirsty Dudes and Iron Dude reward strong sustain and positioning — read Positioning before attempting.
Cross-Run and Hidden
| Achievement | Condition |
|---|---|
| Safe Space | Give Therapy to Dudes in 3 different runs |
| Dude of the Day | Win a Daily Dude run |
| Probably Needed Those (hidden) | Lose a run while 2 Relics are loaned to Scavenger Dude |
Probably Needed Those stays hidden until it triggers. Safe Space needs Therapy Trinket on three separate Main or Rematch runs.
Quick Planning Checklist
- Natural unlocks first — play Main Run until Boss Blaster, Silver Star Dude, and The G.O.A.T. fall.
- Daily Dude — one win for Dude of the Day; good for practicing fixed Flyer reads.
- Family runs — pick your strongest Family and run Ensemble → Rematch until one family-only clear sticks.
- Stat feats — save for Endless or dense Act Boss fights with the right carry online.
- Grinds last — Yoink, Try To Hit Me, and Baby Boomer are background goals across normal play.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about How Many Dudes.
How many achievements does How Many Dudes? have?
69 Steam achievements on PC. Mobile versions may not expose the same trophy list — this guide covers the Steam set confirmed at launch.
Why did my family-only run not unlock?
A single Dude from another Family voids the achievement. Double-check your roster, Pre-Posted Flyers, and any Wandering Dude recruits before committing.
Which achievements are hardest?
Long-haul totals (Yoink, Who Needs Healing?, Try To Hit Me), G.O.A.T. Crusher under 15 seconds, and fixed five-Dude wins with off-meta Types like Psionic and Agent.
Do achievements sync across platforms?
Steam achievements are PC-only. Android and iOS use platform-specific achievement systems separate from this 69-entry Steam list.
