  • How to unlock Homo Homini Lupus Est

    As you play the game you will notice that random events pop up on your radar with a pulsing blue radar-type icon. About two thirds of the time early on these will just be survivors fighting zombies (great for "We’re All in This Together") and the rest of the time is split up between them being random people you can talk with, shops sometimes show up as these events, and then there is the slim chance of the event being a survivor or two being attacked or held hostage by some of Rais’s men. In short, for any situation where you see a group of red triangles fighting one or more blue triangles, it will apply to one of these achievements.

    Zombies vs. Survivors: These events task you with stepping in and saving some survivors from groups of zombies that you will need to clear out. Once you’ve done that, talk to one of the survivors (a trophy icon on your minimap) to receive your reward and get credit for saving them. I highly recommend you get this done in the first zone you are in (Slums), as they are almost always fighting groups of the super zombies when you find them in Old Town, and usually die before you can save them.

    Mean Survivors vs. Nice Survivors: As mentioned previously, you can sometimes find Rais’s men attacking a lone survivor, or holding some hostage. Kill the thugs, and then free/talk with the survivors to receive credit here. You will also frequently find them skirmishing over day-time air drops, which will net you the same credit. I did not see Rais’s men fighting survivors a single time in the many hours I spent in Old Town, so bear in mind that it's best to do this in the Slums.

    If you go after every day-time airdrop you see, this should allow you to get "Homo Homini Lupus Est" a bit quicker. Having completed the story, and just about everything else, I was at under 40% completion for this achievement, likely due to ignoring daytime drops if they were out of the way. I highly recommend going after every drop that comes in until you unlock this achievement.

  • Throughout the game, a blue icon will appear on your map at random times. These are random encounters. They will either be to save a survivor from zombies (which is more common), or they will be to save a survivor from Rais's men. The easiest time to do this is in the begging of the game because they appear more often. The "Rais's men" encounters will happen less once you first travel to Sector 0 or "Old Town" and from then on. They will appear even LESS after you beat the game. So, the easiest way to do this is just to run around the Slums, maybe doing side missions or getting collectibles, until you have gotten 15 encounters.
  • For those of you who are struggling with this achievement, save and quit often! On my new game + after running around in the slums for an hour and not finding a single blue encounter I saved and quit and found one within 10 minutes after reloading my game. After I encountered one I would save and quit and then reload. Rinse and repeat until you get the achievement!
  • What do you mean save and quit? I am on new game and have not seen any. Ive quit out many times and loaded back in and still cant find any
  • Can anyone confirm you can still do this achievement after completing the game? As I haven't been able to fun any of ries men and holding a survivor now I have completed Thanks Martin
  • To anyone still trying to get this I got it today after a couple hours just keep running around in old town after the game is complete its pretty rare but the event does eventually show up. The stat counter is glitchy. The achievement system you need 15 but mine didn't unlock till 17 just keep running old town and you will get it, don't lose hope :)
  • 1. Wrong description. Requires 15 encounters instead of survivors (sometimes you get more than 1 survivor). 2. Electricity may arc to the survivor, so be wary when fighting of Rais's men.
