ROUNDS (1.1.2 November Update) 100% Achievement guide
ROUNDS got an update on the 26th of November adding new achievements so here's how to get that 100% completion.
There are 24 Achievements in ROUNDS and if you grind them you can have 100% in under 2 hours.
Possible solo?
All Achievements are possible solo [u][b]IF[/b][/u] you have a spare controller lying around which will allow you to play local matches, that's how I got all mine.
Sandbox or Local Play?
Before the November update certain Achievements could be unlocked in sandbox. Suspiciously, none of the new Achievements unlock in sandbox. If you aren't getting the certain Achievements in sandbox let me know in the comments. All Achievements will unlock in Local Play & Online Play.
Win X matches?
I've put these all at the end of the guide since you'll want to work on these last.
Hypersonic
Achievable in sandbox
Spawn FASTBALL 2X and fire.
Healer
Achievable in sandbox
Equip HEALING FIELD and carefully damage yourself with your own bullets, then heal back to full by blocking. Repeat til success.
Shieldmastery
Achievable in sandbox
Unsure if spawning the same card four times works.
Cards:
DEFENDER
ECHO
EMP
EMPOWER
FROST SLAM
HEALING FIELD
IMPLODE
OVERPOWER
RADAR SHOT
etc.
Beekeeper
Achievable in sandbox
Get 3 SPRAY and fire away from terrain to keep your bullets from despawning.
You can also get MAYHEM and DEMONIC PACT to make it easier.
Impenetrable
Achievable in sandbox
TELEPORT and DEFENDER both reduce the block cooldown by 30% so 5 cards of them should be enough.
Expensive taste
Achievable in sandbox
This Achievement just happens over time. The only tip is knowing what makes a card rare; Purple filled-in corners denote rare cards. The coloured outline or text of a card is irrelevant.
Fun fact the three rarities are: Common (empty corners), Uncommon (blue corners), Rare (purple corners).
Destroyer of worlds
Achievable in sandbox
Stack five of the following and land a hit on your enemy:
CAREFUL PLANNING
COMBINE
GLASS CANNON
WIND UP
Titan
Achievable in sandbox
The TANK card gets you the most hp so spawn that if 5 or so times.
In Control
Achievable in sandbox
REMOTE is a rare card so it may take a while but once you have it shoot and control you bullet three times during a match which is easy.
Phoenix
Achievable in sandbox
PHOENIX is a rare card so it may take a while but once you have it: die by any means which will respawn you.
Frosty
Achievable in sandbox
FROST SLAM is a common card so easy to find but look out for DEFENDER and TELEPORT to speed up your 20 blocks.
Sharp
Achievable in sandbox
Block with the SAW rare card.
Teleporter
Achievable in sandbox
Block with the TELEPORT rare card three times in a match.
Star
Achievable in sandbox
Block with the SUPERNOVA rare card three times in a match.
Demon
Achievable in sandbox
Shoot with DEMONIC PACT rare card three times in a match.
This rare card took me forever to find but I was probably just unlucky.
Radiant
Achievable in sandbox
Reload three times with the RADIANCE rare card.
Fun fact this Achievement is misspelled, it should be Radiant.
Shield Up
Achievable in sandbox
The SHIELDS UP rare card triggers automatically upon firing your last bullet.
Ace & Joker
Win 5-0 & Lose 0-5
Achievable in sandbox
If you are playing a local match by yourself with a spare controller just suicide one of your characters to lose 0-5. The other character will win by 5-0. You will be given both achievements.
I'd imagine Ace wouldn't be too hard in ONLINE PLAY if you practised a lot.
Victory & Three in a row! & Winner & Accidental Winner & Champion
Achievable in sandbox
Now all five of these achievements are going to be unlocked by grinding Champion. You can also pursue all the other card specific Achievements while using this method but it won't be as fast.
You will need two computer inputs (e.g. Keyboard & controller) which will allow you to host a LOCAL PLAY session just by yourself. What you are going to do is continuously suicide one of the characters into the border. Preferably aim for the close bottom corner as you can use the damage push back to fly into the other death barrier. At the absolute fastest you can end a round-half in under a second (seriously). With a total of 50 matches (250 rounds or 500 round-halves) needed for Champion this method got me the Achievement in less than an hour.
Now if you are struggling with some of the rare cards then you may want to pay attention while grinding Champion as you will be shown 1,250 cards over the 50 rounds minimum. TIP The Rare purple corners are shown even on the backside of cards so you will know at a glance if it's rare.
ROUNDS Achievements IMPORTANT TIP
If you have gotten all other Achievements then the card selection phases will only slow down your pace. This is because of cards which give your character health and make suiciding slower (especially when stacked), here's a list of all cards to avoid:
DEFENDER
ECHO
EMP
FROST SLAM
HEALING FIELD
HUGE - very bad, makes suicide 4 shot instead of 2.
IMPLODE
LIFESTEALER
OVERPOWER
PARASITE
PHOENIX - the worst, plays an animation every time you die, not worth the health reduction
PRISTINE PERSEVERANCE
RADAR SHOT
RADIANCE
SAW
SHOCKWAVE
SILENCE
STEADY SHOT
SUPERNOVA
TANK - very bad, makes suicide 4 shot instead of 2.
I found the fastest strategy was to pick the first card that didn't give me HP. Although if you want, there are a few cards which will weaken you on the way to the border:
DEMONIC PACT - firing makes you lose 10HP, it can't kill you but will make you die quicker.
EXPLOSIVE BULLET - fire at your feet for maximum effect, in theory the quickest way to die.
GLASS CANNON - the only card worth looking for imo, makes the border a 1 shot.
100%!
If you've followed this guide you've probably gotten all 24 Achievements without too much time spent on Champion Congratz.
This is my first guide I've made so any engagement is appreciated.
