Classified France ’44: Achievements Guide

In this adventure, where you can build your team and become the owner of the occupied lands, you need to achieve some successes in the game in order to determine your strategies and progress. Using the information in this guide, you will be able to learn about achievements and how to get them.

List of Achievements

The sure solution to get the achievements in the game is to play the kapya twice. Because while one of the achievements requires completing 50 campaign missions, in a campaign that number is only half.

One of the most effective ways to get achievements is to play on the easiest difficulty first.

If you see the definition of “unique” in the achievements in the game, do not worry. For example, you cannot kill 3 enemies 6 times with a single burst, you cannot repeat the save and kill the same 3 enemies, you must find 3 enemies with which you can perform 6 different hits. Because the game does not allow repeating or reloading to get the achievement.

Recommended Plan

The fastest and most effective way to get achievements in the game is to start by playing the first campaign on normal difficulty.

First Campaign Playthrough

• Difficulty: Recruit (The Easiest)
• Tutorial: On

Do these achievements:

Get as much progress on these as you can (then finish them on the second playthrough):

Second Campaign Playthrough

• Difficulty: Elite (The Hardest)
• Tutorial: Off (Shouldn’t Be Necessary)

Finish these achievements (same achievements as above table):

Do these achivements:

Complete on Specific Difficulty

The following achievements are achievements based on difficulty level. So to get these achievements you need to complete the game on a certain difficulty level. When you complete a higher difficulty level, you can also receive lower difficulty achievements.

One of the downsides is that if you can’t complete the higher difficulties, you won’t get 100% achievements. Besides the achievements you only get for clearing a certain difficulty, you don’t need to play the others on a certain difficulty, so you will be able to unlock the remaining achievements with the Recruit difficulty.

D-Day

This achievement requires you to beat the game on Recruit difficulty.

Martyr

This achievement requires you to beat the game on Regular difficulty.

Note: Getting this achievement will also get you the achievement “D-Day” for winning on Recruit difficulty.

War Hero

This achievement requires you to beat the game on Elite difficulty.

Note: Getting this achievement will also get you the achievements “D-Day” and “Martyr” for winning on the two lower difficulties.

Play Normally

You should get these achievements naturally by just playing, they do not require you to go out of your way. Most should be finished within the first campaign though some may take slightly longer but should still be done by your second campaign.

Taskmaster

You need to complete 15 campaign tasks.

This is one you should actually complete just by playing normally, however it might not be instantly obvious what you need to do (It took me embarrassingly long into my first campaign to figure it out).

The achievement description simply says tasks it does not make it super obvious what it means by tasks. It is referring to campaign tasks you can assign soldiers to perform when you are not taking them into a mission. Other similar games have something like this but they usual have it in their basecamp equivalent, here is it located on the campaign map screen. Just above where you see objectives there is a button that says tasks (see image below). Once you click it you will see a list of tasks (Cure Injuries, Repair Rejoin, etc).

You simply need to complete 15 of them by assigning squad members to do them.

One Step At A Time

You need to complete 10 campaign objectives.

You will get this by just playing. Objectives does not refer to objectives in missions but to campaign objectives. The campaign objectives appear on the left side when you are on the campaign map.

Get In Get Out

You need to complete a mission in 6 or less turns.

Play your first campaign with the tutorial on. One of the tutorial missions finishes within 6 turns.

Close Quarters Combat

You need to kill 50 unique enemies with melee attacks.

You should get this naturally by playing, the kills you get during stealth missions and the stealth part of ambush missions should be enough to complete this. Any non-stealth melee kills also count towards this achievement (but are not needed).

No Witnesses

You need to kill 50 unique enemies while in stealth.

You should get this naturally by just playing.

Note: You can do this at the same time as the achievement “Close Quarters Combat” for getting 50 melee kills.

Freedom Fighter

You need to complete 15 missions in a single campaign.

You will get this naturally by just playing.

Supply and Demand

You need to earn 1,000 supplies.

You will get this naturally by just playing.

Fifty Days And Fifty Nights

You need to spend 50 days in the campaign.

You will get this naturally by just playing. The campaign lasts 50 days so you will get this by just getting to the end of a campaign.

Hiker

You need to travel 5,000km on the campaign map.

You will get this naturally by just playing. It will vary slightly based on which missions you choose but in my experience it will take longer than 1 campaign, it should unlock part way through your second playthrough.

Body Count

You need to kill 500 unique enemies.

You will get this naturally by just playing. Unless you are going out of your way to farm kills on a lot of reinforcements this will take slightly longer than 1 campaign, you will likely get it during the early part of your second playthrough.

I Live To Fight

You need to complete 50 campaign missions (over multiple campaigns).

You will get this naturally by just playing. You will need to do 2 full playthroughs to unlock this. You might also need to either do one campaign with the tutorial enabled and/or do a few extra missions in a third campaign.

Go Out Of Your Way – Part 1

These achievements need you to go out of your way to do them. Either due to requiring you do things you would not normally do or because you need to make sure to not fail to do something.

Easy As Pie

You need to complete 10 campaign missions with a 5 star rating in the same campaign playthrough.

To get a five star rating you need to complete the mission successfully without any of your soldiers suffering a wound (as in becoming incapacitated not simply taking health damage) and while completing all primary and secondary objectives. This achievement is much easier to do on Recruit difficulty.

Five Star General

You need to complete 30 campaign missions with a 5 star rating.

To get a five star rating you need to complete the mission successfully without any of your soldiers suffering a wound (as in becoming incapacitated not simply taking health damage) and while completing all primary and secondary objectives.

One campaign playthrough is not enough to complete this achievement even if you get 5 stars on every single mission. It is best to do as many as you can on a Recruit playthrough and just do the last few remaining ones on Elite as getting 5 stars is much harder on Elite difficulty.

Totally Radical

You need to reach max relations (level 8) with the Radical faction.

You can increase your relations level by doing missions that give you relation points for the Radical faction (the purple one) and by using the “Aid Faction” task on the campaign screen.

The Gaul Of It

You need to reach max relations (level 8) with the Gaulist faction.

You can increase your relations level by doing missions that give you relation points for the Gaulist faction (the blue one) and by using the “Aid Faction” task on the campaign screen.

Smooth Criminal

You need to reach max relations (level 8) with the Criminal faction.

You can increase your relations level by doing missions that give you relation points for the Criminal faction (the yellow one) and by using the “Aid Faction” task on the campaign screen.

Note: You need to do this in order to be able to complete the secret achievement.

Team of Many Talents

You need raise 4 our of your 8 total squad members to the max level (level 25).

There is not enough missions to get all 8 characters to level 25 so unless you want to use the “Training” task to upgrade some of them you will need to choose which 4 you want to upgrade to max level. You cannot just use the same 4 characters on every mission as they will become fatigued and have less total action points to use in the mission, you just need to use them more than the others. Keep in mind you get about 1-2 levels on most missions throughout the campaign if you do all the secondary objectives (progression does not slow down). It is worth noting that if a soldier retreats (gets downed twice) he/she will only get half as much XP as he/she would otherwise.

The Gang’s All Here

You need to recruit all 8 recruitable unique characters in the game.

Four times during the campaign (towards the beginning) you will be given an option of two missions, each of which will result in a character being recruited to your squad (you can only pick one or the other). Make a note of which you recruit during your first playthrough and pick the others ones during the second playthrough.

Note: I recommend making a manual save before making each choice during your second playthrough to ensure you can go back and pick any you need just in case.

Go Out Of Your Way – Part 2

33 Barrels of Oil on the Wall

You need to destroy 33 unique barrels.

You will find varying amount of red barrels on most maps, they explode if you shot them. I recommend doing this achievement on recruit difficulty as enemies rarely stand next to them so shooting them is usually a waste of time and not something you want to waste your soldier’s turns on when playing on Elite difficulty.

Havin’ A Blast

You need to kill 50 enemies with explosives.

You need to go out of your way to try to keep killing as many enemies as possible with your grenades. Any explosion should work but most of your kills for this will need to be with grenades.

Triple Threat

You need to kill 3 unique enemies with a single explosion and you need to do it 6 times.

You get this by killing 3 enemies with a grenade, you might have to softer them up first (depending on enemy type and difficulty). The best way to get this is by fighting the reinforcements as they are more likely to be bunched up. This is much easier to do on Recruit difficulty as enemies have less health.

One Fell Swoop

You need to kill 5 unique enemies in a single turn and you need to do it 6 times.

When you find an opportunity to kill 5 enemies make a save just in case you mess it up or RNG messes with you. Keep in mind you need to do it to 5 unique enemies so reloading the save to do it again does not work (you are only making the save to ensure you succeed). This is much easier to do on Recruit difficulty as enemies have less health.

If you are having difficulty getting this you can try leaving a bunch of enemies on low health to kill them all at once the next turn (I don’t recommend trying this on higher difficulties).

Never Tell Me The Odds

You need to land 6 shots with less than 25% chance to hit.

You may get this just by playing or you might not, depends on your luck (and if you bother trying to land shots with less than 25% chance to hit).

To farm the achievement make a save each time you find a shot with less than 25% chance to hit, preferably as high as possible (24% is ideal). Then just keep reloading the save and trying again until you hit. Keep in mind this needs to be 6 different shots you cannot keep reloading the same save until you do it 6 times.

Amish Paradise

You need to destroy 15 unique vehicles.

There are multiple different kind of vehicles on many of the campaign missions including trucks and kübelwagens. You just need to destroy 15 of them, you can do this with grenades or by shooting at them. I recommend you do this on Recruit difficulty, they can take multiple attacks to destroy and you don’t have the luxury of ignoring the enemy for that long on Elite difficulty.

Note: There are also some armoured cars, tanks, and planes in some later missions that you destroy by placing charges next to them. Unfortunately I had already done the achievement by that point so I cannot confirm if those count towards the achievement or not.

People Pleaser

You need to control all 3 sections of 5 regions.

The campaign map is divided into regions each of which consists of 3 parts. You can select a new part to add to your control after you complete a mission (you get a section for any region you want of the same faction/colour as the one the missions was located in). In order to get a region under your control you need control all 3 parts of the region.

Make sure to keep selecting parts of the same regions instead of spreading them out. You want to do this anyway as you get bonuses for controlling the whole region. Make sure to also repair any region that the enemy manage to damage with the “Repair Region” task, damaged regions do not count as being fully under your control (damaged regions appear stripped on the campaign map). Using FFI tokens to temporarily knock out enemy units also helps (you will be able to get these later in the campaign).

Secret Achievement

There is only one secret achievement in this game. You don’t have to do anything difficult, but you do need to plan for it otherwise you will miss things you need to do.

Marseille Mafioso

You need to complete a mission with a squad member wearing the Black Homburg, Suit Jacket, Suit Trousers, and equipped with the Thompson.

There are multiple things you need to do to unlock this achievement:

• Recruit the French scout character (Moussa “Butch” Comba).
• Complete the mission that rewards the Black Homburg.
• Reach max relations (level 8) with the criminals.
• Buy the Suit Jacket and Suit Trousers from the criminals.
• Equip the French scout with the Black Homburg, Suit Jacket, Suit Trousers, and the Thompson (Any Thompson is fine).
• Successfully complete a mission with the team including the French scout with the above setup.

How the scout should look once he is fully equiped:
