Agent 64: Spies Never Die Steam Achievements Guide
Every achievement, how to unlock it, and the fastest route to Elite Agent.
Agent 64: Spies Never Die ships with 11 Steam achievements tied to campaign acts, story milestones, Challenge completion, par times, and long-term grind goals. Unlike Paradox modifiers (earned in-game through cyphers and trials), these trophies live on your Steam profile and sync through Steam Cloud when enabled. This guide lists every achievement with practical unlock advice, links to related wiki pages, and a suggested order if you want Elite Agent (100% completion) without guessing hidden requirements.
How Steam achievements work
Achievements pop when the game detects specific milestones — entering an act, finishing the credits, beating every Challenge, or hitting cumulative counters like Eliminate Pulp 100 times. They are separate from Paradox Mode unlocks documented on Paradox Cheats but often overlap the same activities: replaying missions on higher difficulties, grinding Challenges Mode, and chasing par times on Difficulty Modes.
If an achievement fails to appear:
- Confirm Steam overlay is enabled for Agent 64.
- Verify game files on Steam (see Troubleshooting).
- Replay the triggering action on a fresh mission attempt — some story flags require clean completions.
- Check you are on the full game, not an outdated demo build.
All 11 achievements
Unwanted Guests — Enter Act 1
Unlock: Begin Act 1 by progressing the campaign past the opening missions. Nearly every purchaser earns this naturally during Getting Started.
Tip: Act entry tracks story progression, not difficulty tier. Agent mode clears count.
Build a Snowman — Unlocked Act 2
Unlock: Reach Act 2 — mid-campaign missions including Snow Base, Harbor, and Train on the wiki’s Mid Missions page.
Tip: Act gates require Cyphers from higher-difficulty replays. Read Cyphers & Progression if Act 2 stays locked after story clears on Agent alone.
A Night to Remember — Unlocked Act 3
Unlock: Enter Act 3 — finale arc missions from Submarine Pen through the launch site in Finale Missions.
Tip: This is where 64 Agent optional objectives spike. Co-op partners should split hacks and escorts per Co-Op Guide.
The Final Chapter — Unlocked Act 4
Unlock: Reach Act 4 — the closing missions culminating in The Final Confrontation against Dominic Pulp.
Tip: Rarest act milestone on Steam global stats because Cypher requirements stack. Budget replay time on Special Agent and 64 Agent before expecting this pop.
Thank you — Credits reached
Unlock: Finish the main campaign and roll credits at least once.
Tip: Survive the final mission without failing hostage or timer states on your chosen difficulty. Body Armor & Survival habits matter on one-life finale pushes.
Whoopsie — Destroyed mission critical object
Unlock: Destroy a mission-critical object — an explosive or fail-state prop you were supposed to protect.
Tip: Intentionally blowing up a critical terminal or objective item triggers this. Friendly-fire-adjacent mistakes on escort missions may also qualify. Many players earn this accidentally while learning grenade radius on Harbor.
Betrayer — Took out Dana
Unlock: Eliminate Dana — a named NPC tied to a specific mission beat (avoid spoilers in co-op streams if you care about story surprises).
Tip: Requires deliberate action during a story segment where Dana appears as a target. Replay the relevant mid-campaign mission if you missed the window on first pass.
Pulped — Eliminate Pulp 100 times
Unlock: Defeat Dominic Pulp one hundred times cumulative across any modes that spawn him.
Tip: Long-term grind achievement. Replay finale missions, Contracts, or Paradox-enabled rematches. Pair with Paradox Contracts for variety so the counter feels less repetitive.
Speed Demon — Beat all the Par times
Unlock: Beat every par time the game tracks across eligible missions and difficulties.
Tip: Hardest achievement for most players. Requires route memorization from walkthrough pages, optimal loadouts from Weapons Tier List, and often 64 Agent clean runs. Learn armor skips and silencer opens from Disguises & Stealth to shave seconds.
League Champion — Accomplished All Challenges
Unlock: Complete every Challenge bot match in the Arena suite.
Tip: Challenges are timed score targets against preset bots — see Challenges Mode. Faster clears earn better rewards (maps, skins, music). This achievement demands mastery of every Challenge layout, not just one good run.
Elite Agent — Reached 100% completion
Unlock: Hit 100% game completion — the aggregate tracker Replicant D6 uses for cyphers, trials, Challenges, and campaign mastery.
Tip: Capstone trophy. Expect to finish Speed Demon, League Champion, high-tier difficulty clears, and most Paradox unlock paths. Cross-check Unlockables & Characters so you do not miss cosmetic rewards while chasing completion.
Suggested completion order
- Story acts — Unwanted Guests through The Final Chapter + Thank you.
- Incidentals — Whoopsie and Betrayer during natural replays or targeted runs.
- Challenges — League Champion via Challenges Mode.
- Par times — Speed Demon with walkthrough routing.
- Grind — Pulped during finale farming.
- Capstone — Elite Agent when the in-game completion meter hits 100%.
Achievements vs Paradox unlocks
Steam achievements are meta-trophy tracking. Paradox modifiers (Big Heads, No Reloads, Slow Bullets, etc.) unlock inside Agent 64’s cheat menu through cyphers and Contracts — documented on Paradox Cheats, not Steam’s achievement list. You can earn many Paradox cheats before finishing every Steam achievement, and vice versa.
Co-op and achievement hunting
Most campaign achievements trigger for all players in a session when the host hits the milestone, but verify locally if you join mid-progress. Speed Demon and League Champion are primarily solo grinds — partners help on combat but par times remain individual skill checks.

Agent 64’s achievement list is compact but punishing at the top end — Speed Demon, League Champion, and Elite Agent separate tourists from agents who mastered every system Replicant D6 shipped on launch day.
