All Deadly Escape Achievements
Thirteen Steam trophies with global unlock rates and unlock tips.
Deadly Escape (Steam app 649450) includes thirteen achievements added at launch by Ominous Entertainment. None are hidden behind Steam’s secret flag—every name and description is visible from the menu— but several require deliberate routing so you do not finish the boss with unfinished kill quotas. Global unlock percentages below come from aggregated Steam player data and shift slowly as new buyers complete or bounce off the game.
Use this page as a checklist. For ordered routing, see the 100% completion route. For weapon and item priority, cross-read the weapons tier list and key items tier list.
Achievement list (by global unlock rate)
Oh No! — 68.8% global unlock
Requirement: Kill the first undead.
Tip: Unlocks during the opening infirmary encounter. Aim center mass with whatever you have—even a melee swipe if ammo is zero. Nearly every purchaser who leaves the starting room earns this.
Raw Meat — 60.4% global unlock
Requirement: See the Game Over screen for the first time.
Tip: Die once on purpose if you are going for 100% in one run anyway—it is faster to tank an early death on a throwaway attempt than to accidentally finish the game without ever failing. On a single perfect run, Raw Meat unlocks only if you die and restart; many hunters grab it on a quick second attempt before the trophy route.
Note: If you want strictly one session, die to any zombie after Oh No!, restart the chapter, then follow the 100% route.
Getting Started — 51.4% global unlock
Requirement: Kill 10 undead (any method).
Tip: Counts handgun, shotgun, rifle, and barrel kills together. You will pass ten total kills mid-infirmary if you explore thoroughly. Pairs naturally with early That Was Close handgun farming.
That Was Close — 48.1% global unlock
Requirement: Kill 10 undead with the handgun.
Tip: Finish this before leaning on the shotgun. Handgun ammo is plentiful early; ten kills is roughly two rooms of careful headshots. See weapons tier list for swap timing.
Survivalist — 41.6% global unlock
Requirement: Kill 20 undead (any method).
Tip: Overlaps Getting Started and Nightmares. Track totals on paper: if you hit twenty before thirty, Survivalist pops early while you still farm rifle kills.
Nightmares — 37.4% global unlock
Requirement: Kill 30 undead (any method).
Tip: Barrel kills from Green Rain count. Plan thirty total before the boss so optional backtracking is unnecessary. Most story runs kill enough undead organically if you clear every wing.
I See The Light — 36.4% global unlock
Requirement: Power up the generator.
Tip: Story-critical mid-game objective. Collect nearby fuel or fuse items, interact with the generator console, and wait for the power-on sequence. Lights reveal late-map spawns—power it before rifle kill farming. Details on the key items tier list.
Ready for Action — 35.5% global unlock
Requirement: Find the rifle.
Tip: Automatic on pickup in the armory or security wing (after key progression). If you finish the game without Ready for Action, you skipped an entire wing—check keys on the Getting Started guide.
Stay Away! — 34.2% global unlock
Requirement: Kill 10 undead with the shotgun.
Tip: Use shells in chokepoints with two or more targets. Do not waste shotgun blasts on lone undead in open rooms. Finish before transitioning to rifle-primary for Never saw it coming.
Green Rain — 22.4% global unlock
Requirement: Kill 10 undead with explosive barrels.
Tip: Lure groups past barrels in warehouse or maintenance zones. Shoot the barrel with handgun tap-fire from a safe angle. Self-damage is possible—kite carefully. Does not count toward weapon kill trophies.
Ouch — 21.2% global unlock
Requirement: Use 5 medkits.
Tip: Uses, not pickups. Pick every medkit and intentionally heal below half health five times if you play too cleanly. Track count on a sticky note. See key items tier list.
I Will Survive — 17.1% global unlock
Requirement: Kill the first boss.
Tip: Lowest story-completion rate among late trophies—players die to earlier rooms first. Stock medkits, save shotgun shells for add phases if any spawn, and headshot weak points with the rifle. Boss gate is near the chapter exit.
Never saw it coming — 15.2% global unlock
Requirement: Kill 20 undead with the rifle.
Tip: Rarest combat trophy. Start counting only after rifle pickup. Farm in lit post-generator halls; avoid finishing the boss until this hits twenty. If you beat the boss first, restart the chapter—rifle kills do not carry over.

Kill count stacking guide
Several achievements overlap. Example efficient stacking:
- Handgun kills 1–10 → That Was Close + progress Getting Started.
- Shotgun kills 1–10 → Stay Away! + progress Survivalist/Nightmares.
- Barrel kills as available → Green Rain + Nightmares progress.
- Rifle kills 1–20 → Never saw it coming + finish Nightmares/Survivalist totals.
- Use medkits whenever below half → Ouch by late game.
- Boss kill → I Will Survive.
The 100% route numbers each phase.
Missable vs safe trophies
Safe on any completion: Oh No!, Getting Started, Survivalist, Nightmares (if you fight everything), I See The Light, Ready for Action, I Will Survive.
Easy to miss: That Was Close (if you swap to shotgun early), Stay Away! (if shells run dry), Green Rain (if barrels detonated without lures), Ouch (if kits hoarded), Never saw it coming (if boss killed early), Raw Meat (if you never die).

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
What is the hardest Deadly Escape achievement?
Never saw it coming (20 rifle kills) has the lowest global unlock rate at 15.2%. It requires deliberate farming after finding the rifle and before finishing the boss.
Does Green Rain count toward weapon kill achievements?
No. Barrel kills only progress Green Rain and general kill totals like Nightmares. Handgun, shotgun, and rifle trophies need direct gun kills.
How do I get Raw Meat and 100% in one session?
Die once early to see the Game Over screen, restart the chapter, then follow the 100% route. Raw Meat requires a death; other trophies need a fresh successful run.
Are any achievements missable after the boss?
Yes. If you kill the boss before finishing Never saw it coming, Ouch, or Green Rain, you must replay the chapter. Complete kill and item quotas before the final fight.
