A clever Star Wars Jedi: Survivor fan stumbled upon an unusual way to earn an achievement - by getting stuck in a hole on Jedha due to a bug. Despite receiving positive reviews upon its launch in April 2023, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has faced challenges such as performance issues and game-breaking bugs, leaving players unable to finish the game. However, Respawn Entertainment has since released several updates to address these issues. In a surprising turn of events, one bug in the game inadvertently rewards the player by unlocking an achievement. Currently, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor boasts a score of 85 on Metacritic.
A player on Reddit, with the username SneakyBeeps, recently shared a clip of a bug they encountered while playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on Jedha. In the video, the player is seen floating in mid-air after getting stuck in a hole. This provided the perfect opportunity for SneakyBeeps to unlock the Skywalker achievement in the game, which requires players to keep their feet off the ground and walls for 60 seconds. The player was able to unlock the achievement without much effort due to their position. Eventually, SneakyBeeps was able to get out of the hole by repeatedly attacking with their lightsaber, allowing them to continue playing the game without worrying about the Skywalker achievement. On Xbox platforms, the achievement awards 15 gamerscore while PlayStation users receive a bronze trophy for completing its requirements.
Numerous users have recounted their successful attempts at unlocking the Skywalker achievement in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor through the comments section, with one even achieving it during a cutscene. These anecdotes suggest that the achievement is relatively easy to obtain, as gamers have shared several useful tips on how to unlock it. Apart from Skywalker, players can also earn achievements by completing various in-game tasks, such as scanning all enemy types and equipping perks in all available slots throughout the game.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is out now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
