What's the rarest Steam achievement you got?

GamesFrom American Truck Sim
Cornfusion Drive to the center of the Evergreen cornfield maze (requires Illinois DLC)
It says .1% of players
Not as rare as some others, but takes a little while to achieve:
Not at all an achievement hunter, and Steam is not my default gaming platform...
But I checked my rarest achivements and I've got a 1.4%. Which does not sound much, except it's in fucking Skyrim, and absolutely trivial to get.
OK, there's the catch : it's because this is Skyrim VR. It's the achievement you get just for mining ore and chopping wood.
Looks like there are some relatively easy .3/.4% to get there if you've got a VR headset and some dedication. And manege to keep the game working long enough to get those. That might be the hardest part, because ... Bethesda.
"Derpin' With Turpin" in Tactical Intervention.
IIRC you get this under the craziest of conditions:
-
You need to snipe 2 players with 1 shot who are in a car moving at max speed while you are also in a car moving at max speed, while fully zoomed in on a sniper rifle
-
One of the two developers (Turpin) has to be on the server with you
Last I checked, it had an earn rate of like 0.03%. The condition of playing with one of the actual developers of the game is what makes it super hard; not really the sniping (tho that is also super difficult). It's probably not even earnable now; I got it back when the game was still being beta tested.
Close to my rarest, but very fun and surprisingly strong! From Victoria 3
This thread is a self doxxing minefield
My sibling, why would you ever play witch it on an official server?
Factorio Express Delivery was quite an effort and a lot of fun.
I also have some fun Europa Universalis 4 achievements that were at 0.1% when I got them, but it seems that I need to up my game there :P
What game is that?? Ive done something similar in Gamble With Your Friends but there's no achievement for that in the game XD
new one from an update in March, so will probably drift down the list:
long-term rarest:
all my remaining rarest ones are from Civ 5, I guess most players don't have the DLC
This is the case for me but with Overcooked 2 DLC.
I have all the achievements for Final Fantasy 1
What about the inverse?
I got Satisfactory before the 1.0 release. I played most of the game before achievements were added. Now the achievement for "reaching the credits" is achieved but "finish the tutorial" is still waiting to be done.
Wow that's hard to figure out, I went looking for games I had the most achievement completion and tried to find which one had achievements most people had that I didn't:
- I never scored 6 goals in one game in Rocket League (60.5% of players did)
- I never stabilized Gale's Orb in Baldur's Gate 3 (44.8% of players did)
- I never became the champion of Fort Joy Arena in Divinity Original Sin 2 (42.2% of players did)
- I never saved the Printer in Dishonored 2 (31.2% of players did)
Two of my rarest: Dune Awakening
Dispatch
My overall showcase
And probably my proudest accomplishment
Watch_Dogs, 0.2% achievement
Damn...
Not counting rare ones that are from brand new DLC, this is my rarest (Stellaris).
With another rare from a different space 4x game (Endless Space 2):
this is a free game, but I don't think there are a lot of people who have played it (delivery & beyond).
otherwise it'd be these for tabletop simulator
I'm this many years old on Steam and don't know how to find my achievements on the mobile app.
If you've unlocked the "rare achievements showcase" on your profile, presumably using the desktop app, then it appears on your profile on the mobile app, too.
Behold! Not even getting all that far in They Bleed Pixels is my finest achievement, with only 1.1% of other players managing the same. What you need to do is focus on games that are old and unreasonably bastard hard, and rare medals can be yours.

I thought that and I looked at my showcase and they were all Modern Warfare (the first of the new reboots) campaign achievments around 0.3℅ and it made me embarrassed to post mine.
Seems you just need a major blockbuster where most people only play the multiplayer, which has also mashed all of its sequels into the same launcher and therefore included people who don't even own said game in the "players who did not achieve this" percentage...
Rarest: Some random achievement in City Skylines that I didn’t even notice I got
Proudest: Embrace the Void and 112% in Hollow Knight
From Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem
It's not an achievement, but this is pretty rare
And I thought my 17 years were long xD
Had to look it up, you got Steam 4 days after it went live!
I was busy the day they went live.
I remember watching in amusement as my housemate was extremely angry that day and thought "this thing is not going to catch on".
My roommate was super excited and kept calling me at work to let me know how rough the launch was going with the servers having trouble!
I was a bit skeptical that it would last more than a few years before it would be a subscription model just to use it because of networking and infrastructure costs. So glad it has turned out the way that it has!
I'm just 4 days after you. What's up, fellow old person?
You guys were just a few days too late... I remember wanting to stay up to make my account, but I had school the next morning so I did it when I woke up
I win! 😝
I was working a double shift on the day it was released so didn't get it until the day after.
I don't meet many people like you anymore.
damn, y'all, how big were the dinos back then ?
Big enough to screw up the platters on my hard drive when they stomped by!
You had to walk into the computer to catch the bugs.
Golden oldie checking in
'cause we're dying of old age? :P
Oh hey
Wait for me!!
Ah, not quite as long as I’d thought
21-ers unite!
Soon
Hello, fellow eldritch being!
Fellow 22 checking in.
Funny to see so many other people all starting at the same time.
I was very anti steam when it first came around and only got an account once CS forced me to to continue to play. My join date is the beginning of 05 so you must have been a super early adopter!
Ha, this is almost my story too. Hadn't played CS prior though, I got enticed in by CS:S and bought Half Life 2 and Steam just for that.
I started out on CS 1.3 and Day of Defeat, I played source a lot too but then after that lost a lot of interest in it. I tried playing CS: Go for a while but it was never the same as those early days in LAN cafes and on shitty slow internet :D
I only have 16 years, Finally I feel young again!
Slowness to adopt new technologies is a sign of old age 😁
Get off my lawn, damn whipper snappers!
adjusts glasses and knees pop
Are my eyes deceiving me or is that a 4 digit account?
Mine was a 5 digit the evening of release, gotta be pretty early to get a 4 digit
Not as low as some other percentages in this thread but I was very proud to beat the last pantheon in Hollow Knight. You have to beat every boss in the game in a row without dying
Shadows of Doubt. These achievements are not rare because they are difficult, but because they are tedious. Most of the ones listed here are just repeatedly eating a food item, which costs almost nothing (1200 credits for solving a typical case, 700 for an easy case; 12 credits to buy a Croque Monsieur, the most expensive food in the game.)
Rat Catcher: Solve a murder while your PoV is at the ground, but you can crawl up walls, and also nobody will talk to you. This achievement is rare mostly because this game mode was added a few years after this game peaked in popularity.
Spare No One: KO everyone in town, in a game where you are discouraged from using violence. Finding a katana and knocking out everyone you see on the street is easy enough. The real challenge here is keeping track of everyone. Some NPCs glitch out and get stuck in their houses, never go outside, and never come to work. You'll have to identify them, find out where they live, and hunt them down. Some NPCs have accented characters in their names, making them difficult to search for on the computers in game, which do not allow you to type such characters.
If you make a case board to keep track of everyone, the case board takes exponentially increasing time to open for each person you pin onto it. By the end, it was taking me about 5 seconds each time I opened it. That was in a custom procedurally generated town of the smallest possible size -- it would be worse on any of the stock towns.
Out of the Red: pay off 10,000 to a loan shark in 1,000 credit increments, one payment per day. Raising 10,000 can be done in half a day easily. Paying it off takes for ever. You can't make payments early. Each one-day wait takes a few minutes, since the game has to simulate every NPC in town. And remember to turn off the procedurally generated murders, because otherwise your loan shark might get killed, and you can't make payments any more (it happened to me, and I had to load a save.)
I've spent a fair bit of time living in Shadows of Doubt. I can corroborate for those who don't that you are indeed a mad bastard. I'm interested in the IRL circumstances.

Woo fellow (trans?) Stellaris player!
Rarest
Proudest (Love this game, highly recommend)
I'm glad to learn about Everhood this way. Do you recommend part 1 or 2 more?
To be honest, I haven't actually played 2 yet. But the first game holds a special place in my heart.
The online consensus seems to be that the sequel has stronger gameplay and maybe even visuals too (the psychedelics in both games are a real trip), but the original has a far stronger story. Again, I haven't played the sequel, but I suspect you'll be better served by starting with the first one.
A lot of people draw a parallel to Undertale, and while they're quite different games mechanically I admit they have a lot in common between their themes, characterizations, and the style of the overworld. Music in both games slap too.
Like Undertale, the game does give you an option to do a Pacifist run. Where Everhood turns things on its head is that the Pacifist run is an extremely crushing story - without getting into spoiler territory, let me just say I see a lot of myself in the Forest Spirit's philosophy. It's left a permanent mark on me.
By the way, that achievement is an absolute bitch and it's not even the hardest one. To put it in context, I held the number one spot on the leaderboard when I earned it - although they reset the leaderboards quite often, so you too have a chance to shine.
Thank you for asking!
My rarest achievement (0.3%) and most of the other rare ones were mainly for winning the Godly difficulty of the Neter campaign on From The Depths with my own creations. Each faction was its own achievement.
My second-rarest (0.4%) and proudest achievement is my tenth dan black belt in Toribash. I'm really close to custom belt but I haven't played in like 20 years. Oh my god.
Lazy Bastard, Getting On Track, Raining Bullets, TIS-100, and a couple Noita ones
This, from Tabletop Simulator.
This one, and the same achivement on American Truck Simulator.
0.2% in CK3.
Red Orchestra 2
0.3%
Silent Killer
Get 32 Kills with the silenced Nagant Revolver
Man what an awesome game, I miss it
I am kinda saddened that it's such a mundane achievement but I'm also baffled because I didn't even go out of my way to get this one I just played normally
Some test achievement for a game I was developing, to check that the achievement integration and unlocking worked as expected. It later got replaced by the real achievements, but my Steam rarest achievement showcase still shows it, so I’m happy to keep it for the lols. Probably only me and a couple QA folks could possibly have it. Well and cheaters of course.
Well and cheaters of course.
yea it undermines Steam achievement collecting a bit that there has been an easily available achi unlocker out there for almost 2 decades
Not strictly my rarest
But I remember taking a good while to actually achieve it (FTL)
GTFO 0.2%
Then I’ve just got a bunch of ones from Risk of Rain 2 from just unlocking everything. Pretty time consuming, but very much a brain off game.
Oh wow I just bought GTFO during the last sale, planning to play with a friend but do you know if Matchmaking is alright in terms of how many player are still in there?
Not sure. I mostly just play it with a friend and his group. Sorry that I can’t be more help.
No worries, I'll find out myself!
I only have 20 Civ 6 Achievements, and one this one is also my rarest steam achievement somehow. Pretty sure it's just a thing people don't try, rather than being hard.
Mine is nothing special. It's Architect of Ruin from Shotgun King. You get it for doing some minor progress in the new-ish (not really anymore, but it used to be new) Charnier mode, nothing challenging at all, but I assume the reason only 0.6% of players have it is because everyone moved on from the game before that content dropped.
Terraria, 0.4%
My two rarest aren't that rare. I'm not an achievement hunter.
probably this badge
as for strictly achievements, looks like it's from human fall flat. that game just spams you with achievements though.
apparently this, which is weird as it just requires you to get 500 kills with the Winchester Super X3
NMRIH is a free game that a lot of people played once and put down cause it was too hard, so not chasing achievements and skewing the numbers.
It's still weird because there's infinite ammo servers where you can grind that stuff out pretty easy.
That one is from Witch It!, but it's bullshit, most of their achivements have those kind of extra conditions that make them hard to get (but also to prevent just cheesing them playing on an empty server so I guess that's fair)
Most are DLC specific or from old games.
This one I think =w=. I don't particularly care about achievements or getting rare ones, so I don't have any super extremely rare ones
