Okay, so, in a major fit of super-boredom I decided to break down the achievements since the game is close to going Gold (if not Gold already). This is basically the achievements we know and then my own speculations. (I definitely think the large number of achievements confirms Shinnok, Rain, Mileena, and Shang Tsung's inclusion giving us a 29 character base roster. (I say Rain cause I really don't think Kronika is playable and personally think she'd do well as a pre-order bonus for MK12 if she does well this game and if the end of the story plays out how the story leak said.
#NoStorySpoilersSis)
Also in terms of the Steam Database page, they haven't added anything as of posting this. So, I definitely think we're close to Gold and we're in somewhat of a dry spell.
There are also two achievements still missing from the Steam Database. Both hidden.
trophy-ID002, and
trophy-ID003. However, I'm sure they're going to update the database with them eventually as they did with
trophy-ID021 and
trophy-ID046
The point of this is to figure out what these achievements are. How many of them do we know, what could they be? Basically subtracting all the achievements as we know them to determine if it's possible that these characters are in it....if that makes sense? So, as we go through each section of achievements we'll see how many are left after.........
Total Number of Achievements: 90

TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_2_DIFFERENT_FATALITIES_WITH_BAR (Baraka)
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_2_DIFFERENT_FATALITIES_WITH_CAS (Cassie Cage)
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_2_DIFFERENT_FATALITIES_WITH_CET (Cetrion)

TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_2_DIFFERENT_FATALITIES_WITH_KAN (Kano)
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_2_DIFFERENT_FATALITIES_WITH_KOL (Kollector)
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_2_DIFFERENT_FATALITIES_WITH_KOT (Kotal Kahn)
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_2_DIFFERENT_FATALITIES_WITH_KUN (Kung Lao)

TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_2_DIFFERENT_FATALITIES_WITH_SKA (Skarlet)
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_2_DIFFERENT_FATALITIES_WITH_SON (Sonya)
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_2_DIFFERENT_FATALITIES_WITH_SUB (Sub-Zero)
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_2_DIFFERENT_FATALITIES_WITH_TER (Geras - Formerly Known as Terminus)
These, as they imply, are clearly achievements you get for doing 2 different fatalities with each character. Whether or not you'll have to unlock a fatality or maybe even both, idk. These are straighfoward.
Achievements Left: 70
(This making sense yet?)
Known Characters That Don't Have Fatality Achievements Visible:
Shao Kahn
Noob Saibot
Johnny Cage
Kitana
Jax
These are characters that we know are in, but weren't included in the Steam Database leak.
Achievements Left: 65
Rumored Characters That Don't Have Fatality Achievements Visible:
Mileena
Shang Tsung
Shinnok
Rain
I mean, it's safe to say that these characters are in at this point. With a roster of 29 and so many achievements to unlock it just makes sense. They're still rumored, but I'm considering them in.
Achievements Left: 61
Gameplay Achievements:
TROPHY_ID_COLLECT_200_PIECES_OF_GEAR
TROPHY_ID_COMPLETE_200_TOWERS
TROPHY_ID_COMPLETE_BASIC_TUTORIAL
TROPHY_ID_DEFEAT_OPPONENT_WHILE_DVORAH_BUG
TROPHY_ID_DUCK_100_TIMES_DURING_MATCH
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_25_BRUTALITIES
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_100_BRUTALITIES
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_MERCY_10_TIMES
TROPHY_ID_PLAY_10_AI_SETS
TROPHY_ID_RUN_5_MILES_IN_KRYPT
TROPHY_ID_SPEAR_50_HANGING_BODIES_IN_KRYPT
TROPHY_ID_SPILL_10000_PINTS_OF_BLOOD
These are all fairly self-explanatory. The only one that really intrigues me is:
'
TROPHY_ID_PERFORM_MERCY_10_TIMES'
I'm not surprised there are achievements like
TROPHY_ID_DEFEAT_OPPONENT_WHILE_DVORAH_BUG, as there were plenty like that in both MKX and Injustice 2 (we'll count the possibility for those further down) but Mercy is something completely new. I know it was something in an older game, but we don't know if it will be the same as it was then. They completely changed up Brutalities so it could be something completely fun and fresh. I wouldn't mind something like 'Friendships', however, I've heard that it could be, like the old games, something you can do to give your opponents more health at the end of a match so they can keep going. Although, idk how I'd feel about that tbh. It could be neat, but we'll have to wait and see when they reveal it!
Achievements Left: 47
Likely Achievements:
Completing Advanced Tutorials
Half-Way Through Story Mode
Completing Story Mode
Complete Story Mode After Doing All Alternate Paths (An achievement from Injustice 2. Seems likely if alternate endings are a thing in MK11)
View All Character Endings
These are
speculations, as are the rest below. But, they are very likely considering there were similar achievements in Injustice 2 and MKX.
Achievements Left: 42
If EVERY character has a specific achievement in terms of gameplay or ending a match, example:
TROPHY_ID_DEFEAT_OPPONENT_WHILE_DVORAH_BUG Then there will be--
13 Achievements Left
(This is including Mileena, Shang, Rain, and Shinnok)
That's just if EVERY character has one achievement for that. I'm pretty sure every character had one in Injustice 2, although there were a couple Batman specific one. So, it could vary.
Obviously, there'll be a handful of online achievements involving King of the Hill, Ranked, Player Matches etc. Then, depending on what this new single player mode they're kinda hyping up is there's possibly some achievements revolving around it. There might even be an achievement for unlocking everything in the Krypt or an achievement for unlocking the unlockable characters.
There were only 6 achievements involving online play for Injustice 2. So, if that happens to be the case for MK11 then we'd be at
7 Achievements. Then, as I said, there could be any number of things that could be those other 7 achievements. More online, various gameplay achievements, Krypt, single-player modes, who knows?
The main point of this was to kinda more or less confirm Mileena, Shang, Shinnok, and Rain's inclusion into the game. There are a LOT of achievements yo, they gotta be for something. Right? Just thinking of other achievements I was getting stuck with what they could possibly be. There's just SO many and it's gonna be hype to unlock them all. (minus online ones of course cause I'm a big noob.)
What are your thoughts on this? Does this confirm Mileena, Shang, Shinnok, and Rain? What other achievements would you like to see?
Was this all a waste of time?
Yes.
Yes it was.
I'm sorry please don't hate me I'm just so fucking bored. This could all be wrong but idk I just needed to type haha
