A guide for reaching 100% achievements on Texas Chainsaw Massacre in an efficient way
Introduction
-The Texas Chinsaw Massacre should take you 50 to 60 hours to 100%, with friends to help you without xp event.
-7 players in total are needed to boost the game efficiently.
-Almost every achievement can be obtained in private lobbies, but it’s better to do them in public with your boosting friends because you can’t earn xp in private and you need to be level 50 and every player will need to gain xp with Julia for her level 3 ability.
-If you are doing achievements in public, it can be better to stay on public until you reach lv50 and earn the achievements linked to stats, some players experienced a bug where all stats came back to 0 and the support for this game is trash.
-If you see an xp event going on, it’s a great way to boost your progression, even if your boosting friends can’t play, you can still play alone as Leatherface and make thousands of xp each match (more info on that later).
-Don’t try to optimise xp right at the beginning, play for a few hours to know how the game and characters work, and to slightly know the map’s layouts, the basement is really confusing at first.
Maps
Family House
Slaughterhouse
Gas Station
Setup your game
-Make one group of 3, and one of 4 to search respectively as family and victims
XP Boosting
-Have a group of 6 other boosting partners
-Are communicating with each other through ingame text chat, steam group, anything
-Have some knowledge about the game, the items…
Please note that playing a character to upgrade his level isn’t needed, it’s only needed for the character you want to have a full level 3 loadout (likely Julie for her specific achievement). You can play who you want, the upgrade points are given for leveling up your player level.
MOST OF THE ACTIONS YOU DO GIVES YOU XP ONLY ONCE
FAMILY
-Pick Leatherface, Cook, or Johnny
-With Leatherface, destroy everything you can, but 2 crawl spaces.
-With Cook and Johnny, use your abilities to earn some xp, and farm xp at a crawl space with victims, opening it and closing it until you can’t earn xp anymore (~1850xp total i think)
-Gather blood and feed grandpa (xp is only for feeding him and doesn’t have anything to do with the quantity you feed him, take only one at a time to be more efficient)
-Kill victims to have xp, let them escape to give them xp
VICTIMS
-Someone pick Connie, her lockpicking ability makes her fast
-Pick every lock on the map (that’s 200xp each)
-Stab grandpa (300xp) but it gives xp only once, and stab family members from behind (same thing)
-Farm xp at a crawl space with famlily members, opening it and closing it until you can’t earn xp anymore (~1850xp total i think)
-Do every action at least once, even if someone else already did it (opening pressure valve exit, stuff like that)
-Do everything you can that gives you xp, even if a small amount (disabling noise traps is only 25xp but there’s many)
-Escape to earn xp, let family members kill you to give them xp
-Each victim that escaped gives you additionnal xp
