Introduction
Welcome to Green Day: Rock Band, the rock band game dedicated entirely to Green Day. This game includes every song from the albums Dookie and American Idiot, as well as several songs from 21st Century Breakdown and some of their other hits. All achievements can be earned offline. There are currently no glitched or unobtainable achievements, and the only achievement that is missable is “Won’t Make It for Dinner.” If you miss this achievement, you will have to start a new career to obtain it. Some achievements are affected by difficulty, but the achievement descriptions make it very clear when this is the case. Cheats do disable achievements, however, No Fail Mode is not considered a cheat in this game and can be accessed from the difficulties screen.
Step 1: Bass Career
The quickest way to earn 1000 is to play through the bass career, making sure you earn 5 stars on every song. This will also help you gain familiarity with the songs. Throughout the career, make sure you play Peacemaker on expert bass earning at least 3 stars, 100% Welcome to Paradise on medium or higher bass, and play all hammer-ons and pull-offs without strumming on Longview (hard or expert difficulty). You should also play a song with lefty-flip on to earn an achievement. By this point, you should have 200 or more.
Step 2: Other Instrument Careers
You need to earn a career score of 1,000,000 with every instrument, so pick guitar, drums, or vocals and get going. On vocals, first earn 5 stars on "Song of the Century", as that should be the last song needed for 5 stars. Then use overdrive at least 100 times and play the 3 required songs on expert vocals. If you have enough microphones, get the double harmony and triple harmony achievements. On guitar, earn a 95 note streak on Last Night On Earth. Also, if you can manage it, hit 100% of the notes in the solos in "Whatsername", "Hitchin’ a Ride", and "Jesus of Suburbia" on the required difficulties.
On drums, hit 100% of the notes on one of the required songs. Complete all of the drum lessons and hit at least 40 notes in a drum fill. If you can manage the two hardest achievements in the game, then hit every kick note in "Brain Stew/Jade"d and complete all of "Tre’s Greatest Hits". Finally, make sure you play Boulevard of Broken Dreams and F.O.D. with every instrument.
Step 3: Challenges
By completing the career, you should have enough "Cred" to purchase every challenge. Purchase every one and play all of them through, making sure to earn the required stars on each challenge. These should be done on a comfortable difficulty, as you will have to play through every song at least once, some twice. You will earn at least 85 from the challenges alone.
Step 4: Band Play
It’s time to earn those achievements that require multiple people. For "Won’t Make It For Dinner", you can either play with real people, or set all instruments to no-fail and work your way through the career. Earn all necessary unison bonuses and get an 8x band multiplier. While working for these achievements, you will want to try to earn 1,000,000 points in one song. Also, note that gold starring songs is typically easier as a band, so you may want to work on those as well.
Step 5: Cleaning Up
At this point, you will probably still have a few achievements you need to wrap up. If necessary, earn 400,000 points on a song, play through a setlist of 20 songs without failing. If you are still working towards gold starring songs, now is the time to complete that.
Conclusion
Earning the full 1000 in this game will be exceptionally challenging, thanks to "Tre’s Greatest Hits". A lot of practice will be needed for this, as well as some of the other challenging achievements. If you are reading this road map before purchasing/renting this game, note that while it is a pretty easy 800
, you most likely won’t get all 1000
