Sir We Have an Orc Problem Steam Achievements Guide

Overview

Sir, We Have an Orc Problem ships with 11 Steam achievements on app 4594150. None gate campaign progress - they reward mastery layouts, ability discipline, and optional challenge rules on specific world.stage maps like 1.1, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1, and 6.2. This guide maps each achievement type to wiki strategy pages so you can hunt them without scrolling Steam discussions for hours.

Achievements sync through Steam Cloud on supported platforms. Failed attempts still fund meta upgrades, so hunting achievements fits the incremental loop: farm nodes, retry with a cleaner script, spend currency, repeat.

Achievement categories

Launch-week community guides group achievements into three buckets:

Category	What it tests	Wiki help
Level challenges	Clear specific sub-stages under optional rules	Campaign Maps, walkthrough pages
Nuke challenge	Win using the nuke ability under set constraints	Orbital Laser and Nukes
Mastery / flawless	Zero-leak or tower-only clears	Perfect Clear Guide, Tower-Only Challenges

Exact achievement names and icons live on the Steam stats page; this wiki focuses on how to complete them, not duplicating Valve’s UI strings.

Level challenge achievements (1.1 through 6.1)

Steam community guides describe per-stage challenge achievements tied to sub-maps:

• 1.1 - early campaign; community posts call this the easiest challenge - strong Gunner lines and basic economy nodes suffice. See Early Levels Walkthrough.
• 2.1 - often cleared with ability micro rather than a dedicated guide; time missiles and early actives on merge clumps.
• 3.1 - mid-band; ensure Flamethrower fronts and consider Laser unlock before 3.2 if speed spikes leak your layout.
• 4.1 - dual choke territory; read Level 4 Walkthrough and Choke Points.
• 5.1 - pressure map; Level 5 Walkthrough covers automation habits and Flamethrower debate.
• 6.1 - late check; community consensus expects stocked active abilities plus a deep turret tree. Read Level 6 Walkthrough and Late-Game Walkthrough.

Challenge rules vary per achievement - some restrict abilities, others expect tower-only setups. Read the in-game achievement description before committing to a layout.

Nuke challenge achievement

The nuke challenge achievement appears in community “Release V1.0” guides as a non-efficiency run: you must complete the level using the nuke ability under the achievement’s stated constraints. Practical tips:

• Unlock the nuke branch in the meta tree before attempting.
• Remember nukes have visible travel time - calling one late in a wave can waste it entirely.
• Do not rely on pause-menu ability exploits removed in June demo patches.
• Pair nuke timing with a kill box from Choke Points so the warhead lands on a dense clump.

Damageless and flawless achievements

Stage 6.2 appears in community posts as a damageless or near-flawless map - layouts that clear without using nukes, plane strikes, or freeze abilities. Players describe safe tower-only schemes once the kill box is tuned.

For zero-leak bragging rights across any map, read Perfect Clear Guide. For Level 5 automation without ability spam, see Tower-Only Challenges.

Damageless runs reward patience more than raw power:

1. Scout with R recall between attempts (Controls).
2. Instrument two runs with Damage Statistics if leaks persist.
3. Finish farm runs on the end screen if you own flat Bonus Resources - surrender skips the flat payout.

Recommended achievement hunting order

1. Complete the normal campaign once - unlocks the full tree and ability branches.
2. Sweep 1.1 and 2.1 challenges with your campaign layout.
3. Farm mid maps until Laser and Mortar caps stabilize 3.1 and 4.1.
4. Use Level 5 Walkthrough habits before 5.1.
5. Stock abilities before 6.1 and 6.2 mastery attempts.
6. Attempt the nuke challenge once cooldown and travel-time habits feel natural.
