Injustice 2 Xbox One Achievement/PS4 Trophy Guide
This guide applies to both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game. The mobile version of Injustice 2 is a much different game, so you won't find advice for it here.

Story mode is the first single-player mode you should spend time with. Here you'll earn XP and Gear for several characters, as well as unlock Brainiac upon completion.
Potential spoilers.

I'll Do It Again (15)
Complete Story mode after doing all alternate paths
After completing the Story once:
- Select Chapter Select from the Story mode menu.
- Scroll through the Chapters and look for fights that offer two playable characters. A second character will appear in gray under these fights.
- Pick the desired Chapter. After the cinematic finishes, you'll be able to select the character you didn't pick before.
- Complete all of the alternate fights.
- Play the final four fights in Chapter 12 as whoever you didn't choose the first time to receive the alternate ending. The Achievement should unlock when the credits finish.
The first run through Story consists of 51 fights. For this Achievement, you'll engage in 25 additional fights. Start on Chapter 3 (the first one with alternate battles) and work your way forward from there.
Multiverse Achievements
Multiverse is Injustice 2's main single-player component, offering an ever-changing array of Portals and Events, as well as unique Gear and rewards. See our Multiverse Guide for an in-depth explanation of how Multiverse works and lots of additional tips and advice.
Event-full (15)
Complete 25 Portal events
See Pulling Overtime.
Pulling Overtime (15)
Complete 100 Portal events
The Multiverse is found under Single Player from the main menu. Each planet in Multiverse offers multiple Portals (ladders/groups of fights) to complete. To get credit for completing a Portal, you must actually beat it.
- You'll complete three Tutorial Portals at the start of Multiverse mode. These count towards your goal of 100.
- For the Spoiler Alert Achievement, you'll need to complete any Portal from the Battle Simulator planet with each of the 28 non-DLC characters. Combined with the Tutorial, this will put you at 30 completed Portals.
You could just complete any 70 regular events over time to get the Achievement. The fastest way to get credit for an event is to select the Endless Portal from the Battle Simulator planet. Lose right away and you still get credit for completing the Portal, although you won't earn any rewards.
If you want to complete Portals for rewards but haven't got the skills to pay the bills, you're in luck! Here's how to easily win via AI profiles:
- Select any Portal for which you have a level-appropriate character (preferably your highest-level hero or villain).
- Highlight your highest-level fighter and press the Loadouts button (X on Xbox One).
- Skip past the five player profiles and select the first AI Loadout. Note that you should customize the AI Loadout with level-appropriate equipment beforehand.
- Let the AI fighter play through the Portal for you! As long as the character is equipped well enough for the ladder, it should win every battle for you.
Spoiler Alert (30)
View all character endings in the Battle Simulator
- Select the Battle Simulator planet from the Multiverse.
- You can complete any of the Portals on this planet except for the Endless Portal to view a character ending.
- For expediency, select the Novice Battle Simulator. It consists of five fights.
- Choose Very Easy difficulty.
- Complete the Battle Simulator with all 28 non-DLC characters to get the Achievement. This means you'll need to have completed Story mode and unlocked Brainiac.
- Remember, you can choose AI Loadouts to make this easier. See Pulling Overtime for more details.
Online Achievements
Only A Real Master (15)
Beat an opponent online while they still have 90% health and you have 10% or less health remaining
This can be done in any online match, including private matches.
To boost it:
- Select Online and then Private Match.

- Now beat up the other player until you win.
Winning Is Fun (15)
Win 10 ranked matches

Don't Stop Me Now (15)
Win 50 player matches
- Select Player from the Online menu.
- Pick Versus or King of the Hill. Versus is a much faster way to play and win matches, but you'll need to spend a little time with King of the Hill for the I Voted and Off with His Head Achievements, too.
- Score a total of fifty wins over time to get the Achievement.
- Gear does affect player matches, so try to use your best gear. You can also stack things in your favor slightly by selecting powerful characters like Deadshot and Darkseid.
A Real Contender (15)
Play 200 online matches
- All online matches, win or lose, count towards this Achievement.
- You should get at least 60-65 matches out of the way while going for the ranked, player match, and King of the Hill Achievements.

I Voted (15)
Vote correctly 10 times in King of the Hill
The object of this one is to correctly guess who will win ten King of the Hill matches. For every vote you get right, you gain a small reward in credits.
- Select Online, Player, and then King of the Hill.
- Once you're able to join a game with three or more people in the lobby, you'll be able to vote on the outcome of matches that you are spectating.
- When the two players you're spectating have selected their fighters and the arena, a voting box will pop up. You have five seconds to select the person you think will win and confirm (A button on Xbox One).
- Try to select higher level players or the person who won the previous game. The current King of the Hill often remains at the top for several matches in a row.
Off with His Head (15)
Dethrone a King 5 times in King of the Hill
In King of the Hill matches, the King is the person who is currently on a winning streak.
- Select Online, Player, and then King of the Hill.
- You must wait until your turn comes up to play, and then beat the King.
- If you want to speed this along, be sure to lose the next match whenever you become King. Consecutive wins as King won't help you dethrone other Kings!
- Private matches don't count for this one, but inviting friends into public matches is allowed.
Be Pre-Paired (15) – Secret Achievement
Harley must dethrone an opponent in King Of The Hill with the final hit coming from Double-Trouble
- Select Online, Player, and then King of the Hill.

- When the opponent has fifteen percent life or less, perform the Cryogenic Blast. This fills the screen with ice and hits from a distance.
Cat Fight (15)
Catwoman must defeat Cheetah with the final hit coming from Cat Call
This one is very tough because you can only get the Cat Call ability as a random drop from Mother Boxes!
- You can improve your chances of finding rare drops like abilities by raising the level of all your fighters. The higher the average level, the better the overall drops you get.
- Remember, you can easily farm Gold Mother Boxes via the AI Battle Simulator under the Multiplayer menu. See the Overlord Achievement tips for more details.

Overlord (15)
Win 5 AI Battle Simulation matches
Even though this is sort of a single-player Achievement, the AI Battle Simulator mode is found under the Multiplayer menu. Your team will fight against other player-created teams, hence the multiplayer designation.
First, set up your defenders.
- Select Multiplayer and then AI Battle Simulator.
- Pick Assign Defenders.

- Pick Customize AI Characters and equip your three team members with the best gear they can use.
Now it's time to beat other player's defenders.
- Select Multiplayer and then AI Battle Simulator.
- Choose the Fight option.
- Select the same team you set up as your defenders.
- Now pick an opposing team to fight. You want to pick the lowest level player possible, preferably someone lower level than you. Press the Refresh button if you don't see any viable options.
- During the match, press the fast-forward button twice to speed things up as much as possible.
- If two out of three of your fighters win their matches, you get the overall win and a Gold Mother Box.
- Repeat until you have five wins. The Achievement will pop on the final results screen.
If you want to continue winning AI Battles for Gold Mother Boxes after hitting the daily limit of five wins, view your Battle Log and delete your previous battles.
Catch The 4:30 To Metropolis (15)
Knock an opponent into the Memorial Station Arena Transition at 4:30
This Achievement is real-time based and must be accomplished at 4:30 AM or PM. It reportedly has a couple of minutes of flexibility, so it should still unlock if you perform the transition slightly early or late.
This can be done in any mode, but it's easiest to do it in either local Multiplayer Versus with a second controller or Single-Player Single Fight against an AI opponent of Very Easy difficulty.
To select the Metropolis Memorial Station Arena:
- Choose anyone for both characters.
- Highlight the Metropolis (The Ace of Spades Bar) Arena.
- Press the Change Starting Arena button (Y on Xbox One) to switch to the train station arena.
Once the fight has started:
- Beat on your opponent until he or she is on their final life meter.
- Get the opponent against the right-side edge of the arena. Now wait for 4:30.
- At 4:30, press Back + Heavy Attack (A button on Xbox One) to knock the enemy back and initiate the transition. The Achievement should pop during the transition animation.
It's Showtime (15)
Knock an opponent into the Empire Theatre Arena Transition at 8:00pm
This Achievement is real-time based and must be accomplished at 8:00 PM. It reportedly has a couple of minutes of flexibility, so it should still unlock if you perform the transition slightly early or late.
This can be done in any mode, but it's easiest to do it in either local Multiplayer Versus with a second controller or Single-Player Single Fight against an AI opponent of Very Easy difficulty.
- Select the default Gotham City arena.
- Get the opponent against the left-side edge of the arena. Now wait for 8:00 PM.
- At 8:00 PM, press Back + Heavy Attack (A button on Xbox One) to knock the enemy back and initiate the transition. The Achievement should pop during the transition animation.
Going Ape (15)
Throw 3 kegs during a match with Gorilla Grodd at the Ace o' Clubs
This Achievement can be done in any mode, but it's easiest to do it in either local Multiplayer Versus with a second controller or Single-Player Single Fight against an AI opponent of Very Easy difficulty.
- Select Grodd for one or bother fighters.
- Pick the default Metropolis arena.
- The kegs are found on the left side of the arena. Simply grab and throw all three of them with the environmental interaction button (Right Bumper on Xbox One).
Dr. Fate-Ality (15)
Perform 3 background bounces on the Empire Theatre background
This Achievement can be done in any mode, but it's easiest to do it in either local Multiplayer Versus with a second controller or Single-Player Single Fight against an AI opponent of Very Easy difficulty.
- Select the default Gotham City arena.
- When standing near the center of the arena, the environmental interaction will knock a foe into the theater. Just do this three times during the match.
Stay Down (15)
Knock an opponent into an Arena Transition 25 times
Arena transitions are performed by pressing Back + Heavy Attack (Back + A on Xbox One) while standing with a foe positioned against the appropriate side of an arena that has a transition.
The following arenas have transitions:
- Arkham Asylum
- Atlantis
- Batcave
- Brainiac's Ship
- Gotham City
- Kahndaq
- Metropolis
- Red Sun Prison
Although you can perform transitions during any fight or mode, I recommend doing them while working on the character-specific Achievements. Batman's Back to Where You Belong Achievement involves performing seven transitions all on its own. If you pick an appropriate arena and do one transition as you work on everyone else's individual Achievements, you'll knock out the remaining eighteen transitions along the way.
Killer Croc (15)
Have the final hit come from the crocodile in Slaughter Swamp
This can be done in any mode, but local Versus or Single Play are easiest. It requires a strong character like Bane, Cyborg, Darkseid, Superman, Supergirl, or Swamp Thing to perform the environmental interaction with the crocodile.
- Select the Slaughter Swamp arena.
- Reduce the foe's life to less than twenty percent.
- Have the strong character perform the environmental interaction with the crocodile while the victim stands at close range.
This Is Why I Can't Have Nice Things (15) – Secret Achievement
Be in the Batcave when all the Environmental Interactions are used
This Achievement should be attempted either in local Versus or an online match against a friend. It will require a fast character (Batman is the obvious choice) and a strong character (Bane, Cyborg, Darkseid, Superman, Supergirl, or Swamp Thing) in order to perform all eight interactions.
Select the default Batcave arena, and then perform these interactions:
- Throw three hanging**** red lights (requires a strong character).
- Throw three boxes on the right side of the arena.
- Throw someone into the computer monitor in the background on the left.
- Knock someone into the computers on the left side of the arena.
Next, perform an arena transition on the left side of the arena (Back + Heavy Attack). In the second arena:
- Grab and kick the two tires off the green cart.
- Ride the Batcycle at the left side of the arena.
- Knock someone into the Batmobile on the right side of the arena.
- Smash someone with the generator on the right side of the arena.
The Achievement will unlock for both players as soon as the eight interaction is completed.
Would You Like Some Crumpets With That? (15)
Duck 10 times in a row during a match
This is a complete gimme. During any fight, simply press down to duck a total of 10 times. It will likely be the first Achievement you earn.
Untouchable (15)
Go 10 seconds of the match without being hit by your opponent
You should get this naturally while playing the game, but you can also set it up easily by either local Multiplayer Versus with a second controller or Single-Player Single Fight against an AI opponent of Very Easy difficulty.
If playing Multiplayer Versus, just don't do anything and the Achievement will pop after a few seconds. Against an AI opponent, choose a character with a ranged special move like Superman or Darkseid and spam the move repeatedly to keep the enemy away for 10 seconds.
Feel the Power (15)
Reach level 35 in Player XP
All wins and losses contribute XP to your player profile. Whenever your profile levels up, you'll receive rewards.
As you work towards the other Achievements, you'll naturally reach level 35 long before everything else is done. I recommend sending AI profiles into the Battle Simulator of the Multiverse while you work on unlocking everyone's endings. They'll level up, and so will your player profile.
Heathens (15) – Secret Achievement
Win a match with each villain
For this Achievement, you must win a single-player or multiplayer battle with all fourteen characters who appear on the right side of the character selection screen. This includes:
- Atrocitus
- Bane
- Black Adam
- Brainiac
- Captain Cold
- Cheetah
- Deadshot
- Gorilla Grodd
- Joker
- Poison Ivy
- Robin
- Scarecrow
- Superman
- Wonder Woman
Because Brainiac is unlocked by completing Story mode, you'll have to finish that before you can go after Heathens. Story mode involves victories with Black Adam, Superman, and Wonder Woman. You'll knock the other wins out naturally while going for the character-specific win Achievements.
Feeling Super (15)
Perform every Supermove
Supermoves require four full bars of Super meter to perform. When your meter is filled, press the Supermove button combination (Left Trigger + Right Trigger on Xbox One) to activate the move.
For this Achievement, you'll need to perform the Supermoves of all 28 non-DLC characters, including Brainiac (unlocked via completing Story mode). This can be done in any mode other than Practice, with Single Fight and Versus being the quickest options.
Nine characters have Supermove-related Achievements (Cyborg, Swamp Thing, Green Arrow, Doctor Fate, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Joker, and Superman) so be sure to get those knocked out before you start trying to perform whichever ones you're missing.
Master of All Trades (70)
Reach max level with all characters
20 is the maximum level for each character. It takes a total of 61,078 XP to reach level 20. For this Achievement, you must max out all 28 non-DLC characters, including Brainiac (unlocked via completing Story mode). Everyone used in Story mode will gain some XP there and reach level three or four by the time you complete, which helps a little.
There are many ways to earn XP. AI Battle Simulator has such low XP payouts that I don't recommend it. My preference is simply to take AI profiles into the Multiverse. Send your AI fighters into the Battle Simulator while you work on unlocking everyone's endings, and then keep using it to boost their XP. See Pulling Overtime and Spoiler Alert for more instructions and tips.
Characters can also be instantly leveled up to 20 from the Customize Characters screen by spending premium currency crystals on them, but that would be a big waste of crystals and/or money.
The ultimate superhero fighting game
If you haven't picked up Injustice 2 yet, what are you waiting for? In our review, I remarked that "the amount of single-player content in Injustice 2 is unprecedented" and called it "a fantastic sequel." Tons of iconic characters, an addictive Gear system, and excellent online multiplayer make this game the complete package. Anyone with a love of DC characters or fighting games is going to love Injustice 2.
Injustice 2 is available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for $59.99.
