The Tutorial Achievement Has a Documented Fix

Finished your training but still missing the achievement? The S.O.N.A.R. tutorial achievement not unlocking has a specific explanation in the official version 1.0.2.0 changelog: its unlock trigger previously occurred after the first mission rather than at the end of the tutorial. That distinction matters if you completed training and stopped before starting a mission.

Version 1.0.2.0 changes the trigger so completing the tutorial unlocks the tutorial achievement. Check that your game has received this update before treating the missing unlock as an unexplained new problem.

What Changed in Version 1.0.2.0

The developer's official S.O.N.A.R. 1.0.2.0 changelog describes a timing correction, not a new achievement requirement.

  • Before the fix: the achievement unlocked after completion of the first mission.
  • With the fix: the achievement unlocks when the tutorial is completed.

You therefore do not need to interpret the old first-mission behavior as the intended requirement for the updated game. The tutorial and first mission are separate completion points, and the patch specifically moves this achievement to the former.

Check the Update Before Repeating Missions

Start by checking your installed game version and letting any available update finish. If you are still using a build from before 1.0.2.0, its achievement behavior may reflect the older trigger.

The changelog does not explain whether an already completed tutorial receives the achievement automatically after updating. It also does not state that repeating the tutorial is required. Avoid spending time replaying unrelated missions on the assumption that this will repair every missing unlock.

If the problem remains on the updated version, keep a note of your installed version and whether you completed the tutorial before or after updating. Those details help distinguish the documented old behavior from a remaining issue; they do not establish a guaranteed workaround.

Keep Tutorial and Mission Completion Problems Separate

The same update also addresses a rare problem in which some missions could remain unfinished after the required enemies had been destroyed. That is a separate fix from the tutorial achievement trigger.

A mission that will not complete and an achievement that has not appeared can look related from the player's perspective, but the changelog lists different corrections for them. Describe the actual symptom when seeking help: missing tutorial achievement, stalled mission completion, or both.

FAQ

Do I need to finish the first mission for the tutorial achievement?

That was the older behavior described by the developer. Version 1.0.2.0 changes the trigger to completion of the tutorial itself.

Will updating unlock the achievement retroactively?

The changelog does not say. It confirms the corrected trigger but does not document automatic credit for a tutorial completed on an older build.

Should I delete my save to fix it?

The documented achievement fix does not require deleting saves. The announcement provides no save-deletion workaround for this issue.

Does the patch also fix missions that will not complete?

It fixes a separate rare mission-completion issue involving the required enemy count. That does not mean every possible stalled mission or missing achievement has the same cause.
