How Many Dudes carries 69 achievements, and they range from things you earn just by finishing a normal run to precise stat feats and long counters that stretch across many sessions. The list below covers every one of them and the exact condition that pops each unlock, so you can plan the awkward ones instead of stumbling into them.
Quick answer: There are 69 achievements in total. Roughly a third unlock naturally through regular runs and boss fights, while the rest require single-family rosters, fixed five-Dude teams, single-battle stat thresholds, or cumulative grinds like 10,000,000 lifesteal and 1,000,000 deflected attacks.
Boss and tier progression achievements
These come from beating fights and pushing through the three Tiers of Challenge. Winning any boss fight clears the first one, and the tier bosses each hand out their own unlock. G.O.A.T. Crusher is the only speed-based entry here, so save your burst for that encounter.
| 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. |
Single-family victory runs
Six achievements ask you to win a full run using only Dudes from one of the six families. Commit to a single family from your first recruit and never mix in outside Dudes, because a single off-family unit voids the unlock.
| Achievement | Family required for the whole run |
|---|---|
| Merely a Setback | Undead Family only. |
| Workin’ 9 to 5 | Employed Family only. |
| Warmonger | Warrior Family only. |
| Fellowship of the Dudes | Fantasy Family only. |
| Warp Speed | Sci-Fi Family only. |
| Plot Armor | Action Family only. |
Fixed five-Dude team runs
Four unlocks name an exact five-Dude lineup. You have to win with that precise roster, so treat each as a scripted composition rather than a build you flex.
| 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. |
Collection and mastery achievements
This group rewards completion. Some track Collectibles and Trinkets you find across runs, while the Gold Star entries require you to fully clear the star objectives for individual Dudes, whole families, or every Universal Relic.
| 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 | Earn a Gold Star for at least one Dude Type from each Dude Family. |
| Dude Master | Earn all Gold Stars for an individual Dude and its Relics. |
| Family Dude | Earn Gold Stars for all Dudes and Relics in a Dude Family. |
| Universal Dude | Earn Gold Stars for every Universal Relic. |
Single-battle stat thresholds
Each of these fires the moment one Dude hits a specific value inside a single fight. Stack the matching stat on one carry and pick a long, enemy-heavy battle so the numbers have time to climb.
| Achievement | Value to reach on one Dude |
|---|---|
| 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 a single Dude Type. |
Big single-battle kill and defense numbers
These need a large tally inside one fight rather than across a run. Wave-heavy battles with strong area damage are the fastest way to hit the kill counts, while defensive builds handle the damage-prevention and Saves targets.
| Achievement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|
| All You Can Eat | Defeat at least 100 Crabs in a single battle. |
| Necrodudicon | Summon at least 300 Skeledudes in a single battle. |
| No Thanks | Prevent 3,000,000 damage in a single battle. |
| I Wasn’t Worried | Get 100 Saves in a single battle without losing. |
Relic, Trinket, and ability triggers
A large block of achievements is tied to specific items and Dude abilities. You need the named Relic, Trinket, or Dude in play, then push its effect to the listed threshold in one battle.
| Achievement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|
| Nuclear Codes | Launch a Nuke. |
| De-Boned | Generate 3 Skeledudes via the Gravestone Relic in a single battle. |
| Overdue Charges | Build up 1,000 stored damage on one Dude with the Bad Credit Trinket. |
| You In Particular | Zap a single target with Bottled Lightning while at least 20 enemies are present. |
| Juggler | Throw the same enemy 3 times with Meteors in a single battle. |
| M’Dude | Win a run with at least 20 stacks of the Fedora Trinket. |
| Doomer | Deal 300,000 damage with the Mummy Dude’s Curse of Doom in one battle. |
| Don’t Tase Me | Deal 250,000 damage with the Taser in one battle. |
| Anonymous | Use Hacker Dudes to generate at least 100 Exploits in a single battle. |
| Big Bunga | Throw a single Bunga that deals 4,000 damage. |
| Anger Management | Have a Viking Dude reach 200 stacks of Loki’s Arm during a battle. |
| Alternative Medicine | Heal 50,000 in a single battle with the Medical License. |
Economy and shop achievements
These revolve around money, shops, and the merchant Dudes. Two of them, Profit-Driven Dude and Actuary, want large single-run payouts, so lean into Business Dude investments and Life Insurance builds when you go for them.
| Achievement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|
| YOLO | Invest in the Baller Package at the Business Dude. |
| Fair Trade | Loan a Relic to the Scavenger Dude. |
| Profit-Driven Dude | Earn $30,000 profit from the Business Dude in a single run. |
| Actuary | Collect at least $2,000 of Life Insurance payouts in a single run. |
| Out of Stock | Restock the Merchant Dude’s shop 100 times. |
| Coupon Clipper | Buy 100 Relics at a discount using the Coupon Relic. |
Long-haul cumulative totals
The three largest counters add up across battles and runs rather than resetting each fight. Build around the matching mechanic and let the totals accumulate over many sessions.
| 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. |
Restriction and challenge runs
Several achievements ask you to win while giving something up or committing to a strict rule for the entire run. Read each condition before you start, since breaking the restriction once usually cancels the attempt.
| Achievement | Unlock condition |
|---|---|
| Thirsty Dudes | Beat Round 80 without using any Dude Juice for the whole run. |
| Iron Dude | Win a run without using consumables during any boss fight. |
| Mob Mentality | Win a run without training any Regular Dudes at the Dude Whisperer. |
| Single-Minded Dude | Win a run with at least 40 of a single Dude Type on your roster. |
| Sensitivity Training | Win with Dudes from 5 different Families and a Relic from the Smuggler Dude. |
Cross-run and hidden achievements
A few unlocks track actions spread over separate runs, plus one hidden entry. Probably Needed Those stays concealed until it triggers, and it only fires when a loss coincides with two loaned Relics.
| Achievement | Unlock 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 you have 2 Relics loaned to the Scavenger Dude. |
Every unlock registers the instant its condition is met, so a stat feat pops mid-battle the moment the value is crossed, while run-based entries confirm on the victory or loss screen. If a family-only or fixed-team achievement fails to fire, the usual cause is an off-roster Dude sneaking into the lineup, so double-check your team composition before committing to those runs.
