This does not refer to the in-game legacy goals, but the achievements you get awarded in Steam/Epic/GoG for hitting certain targets while playing. They give you nothing but bragging rights. There are 80 in total, and they relate to everything from how much cash you have to how many corners are in your territory.
Achievements for Epic players don’t necessarily work very well. For me, they seemed to cap at 48 and every achievement I should have got after that I didn’t get. Then one day I suddenly got one and I’m now stuck on 61. I still think it’s broken and specific to the Epic version, because the only ones (bar one) I’ve got left on Steam are the ones I haven’t been able to get yet because they refer to end of game and/or are specific to maps that I haven’t played enough yet.
Most achievements can be unlocked at any point during the game. Some, labeled “At EoP” in the “Time Limit” column means you won’t unlock them until you’ve reached the End of Prohibition (December 1933) even if you hit the target before then. The ones saying “Before EoP” specifically say you have to have achieved them before the End of Prohibition – because you can technically continue to play on after Prohibition has ended.
All achievements can be unlocked while playing on any map, except for the ones that specifically mention a city.
Most of the achievements aren’t that difficult to unlock, you just need to keep playing the game as you normally would and suddenly you’ll have new achievement unlocks waiting for you when you exit the game.
Some achievements are mentioned in more than one category here so they’re easier to locate.
“Rarity” is how many players have unlocked that particular achievement in Steam. It’s merely a statistic, it doesn’t indicate how difficult they are to achieve, only how many people have played the game long enough to hit those targets. (The unlock % are all much lower on Epic.)
Last updated: 12 April 2025. ⬇️↔️⬆️ indicate if the number has gone down, stayed the same or increased since I last checked (11-12 January 2024).
Missions, skills and all that jazz
| Achievement name | When | Rarity | Award condition | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full House | 10.0% ↔️ | Attend a poker game. | Find a poker game (Residential Event), wait until they are planning a new game, pay $400 and return on the date in question to attend. This is also a prerequisite for the Operator and Closer (Captain) roles, if you have the Shadow Government DLC. | |
| Getting Fancy | Before EoP | 3.9% ⬆️ | Learn how to make counterfeit wine, sparkling cider, backroom beer and bathtub gin. | You only need to have completed the skill missions. |
| Improvement Missions | 19.2% ⬇️ | Learn how to upgrade a booze production operation by completing a mission. | After you’ve produced your first T1 alcohol for a while you’ll get a mission that will allow you to upgrade to e.g. Improved Home Brew Operation. It’s that. | |
| Mission Mastery | Before EoP | 17.6% ↔️ | Complete 40 missions. | Sounds like a lot but you’ll get there in no time. |
| Moving Experiences | 20.2% ⬆️ | Acquire a delivery van. | Getting a Small Delivery Truck as a mission reward will do it, or you can sometimes buy one. | |
| People Person | Before EoP | 22.5% ⬇️ | Redeem 50 favors. | Just use up Favors normally, you’ll get there. |
| Social Butterfly | Before EoP | 3.3% ⬇️ | Redeem 100 favors and attend at least 10 dinner parties or poker games. | You need to have used up Favors to find some Residential Events, and then attend them. |
| Sockdolager | 18.7% ⬇️ | Attend a dinner party. | Find a dinner party (Residential Event), wait until they are planning a new game, pay the cost and return on the date in question to attend. This is also a prerequisite for the Operator and Closer (Captain) roles, if you have the Shadow Government DLC. | |
| Street Knowledge | 34.1% ⬇️ | Complete the tutorial. | You should be done in about 25 turns or so. Turns at the start of the game are very quick! The tutorial map is always the same Chicago seed. | |
| The Rubber Meets the Road | 5.3% ⬆️ | Own 12 vehicles of any kind. | You’ll get there soon enough, I promise. | |
| Wise Head | Before EoP | 20.4% ⬇️ | Learn 15 skills. | You’ll get there before you know it. |
Inside your territory
| Achievement name | Rarity | Award condition | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Backroom Empire | 6.0% ⬆️ | Control 10 buildings. | You don’t have to have bought them, you can get buildings as mission rewards or by extorting gamblers. |
| Branching Out | 19.8% ⬇️ | Have territory that contains 20 corners. | The minimum number of fronts you’ll need to open and fully expand is 4, provided they can all expand in four directions. If not, you’ll need more. |
| Corner Control | 5.8% ⬆️ | Have territory that contains 50 corners. | As above, but a minimum of 10 fronts. You’ll likely need a bunch more for this. |
| Friendly Gestures | 25.5% ⬇️ | Gain control of a building from an associate who runs a front controlled by your outfit. | Use a Favor with a Front to buy yourself a new building. (Preferably early on while they’re still affordable.) Note 29 May 2024: It’s currently suspected that this only triggers when playing the Pittsburgh map. |
| Fronting the Money | 43.1% ⬇️ | Establish three fronts. | You’ll probably get this while doing the tutorial! |
| High Pillow | 0.4% ⬆️ | Have a train station, a luxury hotel and a union hall inside your territory. | It seems like this won’t trigger – despite having a train station, a longshoremen’s hall (i.e. union hall) and a silver bell hotel in your territory – until you reach the end of Prohibition in Chicago. |
| Room in the Back | 46.6% ⬇️ | Take control of a new business. | Get a new building, either by buying one, getting one as a mission reward or as a gambling debt repayment. |
| Station Master | 1.1% ⬆️ | Have both a freight and a passenger station inside your territory. | As long as the seed you’re playing actually has both, which isn’t a guarantee! |
| Stepping It Up | 5.5% ⬆️ | Have an automated delivery route with 25 stops. | If your people don’t have enough AP for this to run smoothly, you can just create a route with 25 stops and then scale it back again to a more manageable level once you’ve been notified of unlocking the achievement. |
| Working on the Railroad | 3.3% ⬆️ | Use a connection at a train station to manufacture illegal booze out of town. | You need to have at least one train station in your territory, have been introduced to the station master by someone, have bribed the local precinct cop, and done the introductory mission to unlock the use of the train station, and then waited for the correct month to do the right mission. … It’s not as complicated as it sounds. |
Operational and financial
Backroom operations and production
| Achievement name | When | Rarity | Award condition | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balkan Firewater (Pittsburgh) | 1.5% ⬆️ | Build an operation that produces Rakija. | It’s the city’s exclusive, after all! | |
| Bottled Up | Before EoP | 2.1% ⬆️ | Open a booze bottling operation in a building you control. | If you can import booze barrels through the train station, this is much easier than making T3 bottles yourself! |
| Copacetic Coordination | 45.6% ⬇️ | Have an alcohol production operation run for a full year without any stalled production. | As long as you keep an eye on at least one of your productions, you should be fine. | |
| Extraordinary logistics | 40.0% ⬇️ | Have an alcohol production operation run for two full years without any stalled production. | As long as you keep an eye on at least one of your productions, you should be fine. | |
| Gin Joint | 24.4% ⬇️ | Open a bootlegging operation. | It’s the first booze-selling outlet you can build (before any of the speakeasies), so this one’s easy. | |
| High End Booze | Before EoP | 2.7% ⬆️ | Have an operation that makes beer kegs, gin, aged whiskey, dark rum, cordials or champagne operating in a building that you control. | It’s spiced rum, not dark rum. Basically, have a T4 alcohol operation. |
| Homemade Hooch | 2.8% ⬆️ | Have brick wine, hard cider, homemade beer and moonshine operations all running at the same time. | All four T1 productions at once, which is good to keep your first Corner Speakeasy stocked up anyway. | |
| Improvement Missions | 19.2% ⬇️ | Learn how to upgrade a booze production operation by completing a mission. | After you’ve produced your first T1 alcohol for a while you’ll get a mission that allows you to upgrade to e.g. Improved Home Brew Operation. This is for that. | |
| In-House Maintenance | 2.1% ⬆️ | Have a garage operation in a building controlled by your outfit and perform at least 10 repair actions. | Build a garage of some sort, and use it to repair your crew’s vehicles. | |
| Putting on the Ritz | Before EoP | 0.6% ⬇️ | Open a supper club and a dance hall, jazz club or fine dining restaurant in a building that you control. | This reads as open two supper clubs and upgrade at least one of them. Don’t stress it, it’s more for end game. |
| Still Dreaming | Before EoP | 3.4% ⬆️ | Open up a makeshift whiskey. brandy, vodka or rum still in a building you control. | Either one, doesn’t matter which. |
| Booze Baron | Before EoP | 34.0% ⬇️ | Produce 500 units of illegal alcohol in your operations. | Just keep your productions topped up with ingredients and you’ll get there. Quicker if you have more than one production. Doesn’t matter what alcohol you’re producing, they all count towards this collectively. |
| Liquor Lord | Before EoP | 20.3% ↔️ | Produce 1500 units of illegal alcohol in your operations. | |
| Still Stalwart | Before EoP | 12.0% ⬆️ | In any city, produce 3000 units of illegal alcohol in your operations. |
Money and worth
| Achievement name | When | Rarity | Award condition | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dirty Money | Before EoP | 41.0% ⬇️ | Have $2,000 in cash at any point. | The $ value at the top of the screen. Even $2000 feels difficult in the beginning, but you’ll get there. And once you do, climbing the cash amounts won’t be hard. |
| Sizeable Stash | Before EoP | 25.4% ⬇️ | Have $5,000 in cash at any point. | |
| Considerable Clams | Before EoP | 16.1% ↔️ | Have $15,000 in cash at any point. | |

| Show ’em the Sugar | 20.3% ↔️ | Have an outfit that is worth at least $25,000. | This is about your net worth (you find it in Report dialogs > Finances and when you start a new year), not how much cash you have. | |
| Half Century Mark | 14.3% ⬆️ | Have an outfit that is worth at least $50,000. |
Selling
| Achievement name | When | Rarity | Award condition | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bourbon Barrels (Cincinnati) | 0.4% ↔️ | Sell 200 cases of bourbon. | Once you produce it, this shouldn’t be a problem. | |
| City of Big Shoulders (Chicago) | 14.8% ⬆️ | Sell 200 bottles of whiskey, brandy, vodka or rum. | All of them should all count toward this. I don’t think this works as advertised. I unlocked it despite not selling any of those! Early in game I found some spiced rum, gin and cordials in abandoned safehouses and sold to a hotel, none amount to 200, plus T1 booze to other businesses, but that’s it. I have probably sold 200 units of any booze in total, though. | |
| Bees Knees Bootlegger | Before EoP | 13.8% ⬇️ | Sell 500 units of illegal alcohol from your operations. | Just keep your speak(s) topped up and you’ll get there. You’ll get there quicker the more of them you have. Selling stuff to business manually also counts toward this. |

| Cat’s Meow Clubs | Before EoP | 5.9% ⬆️ | Sell 3000 units of illegal alcohol from your operations. |

| Baker’s Dozen | 9.2% ⬆️ | Recruit 13 people into your crew. | ||
| Boots in the Ground | 7.7% ⬇️ | Pay ongoing support to the family of a fallen crew member. | When a crew member dies, you get asked if you want to pay their family $20 every turn for the rest of the game. Agree to it. | |

| Laying Low | At EoP | 0.8% ↔️ | Make sure that your outfit’s boss avoids arrest. | I suppose you could technically have your boss not assigned to a car, which means they can’t be caught, but then they also can’t do anything. Just keep out of the way of cops you haven’t bribed. |
| No Applesauce | At EoP | 1.5% ⬇️ | Ensure that none of your crew members have been killed by corner hooligans or rival outfits. | It’s doable, as long as you’re careful and keep them well armed. |

| Street Fighter | 30.1% ⬇️ | Have a crew member acquire all three Well-Known Brawler experience improvements. | Keep choosing this option when you level someone up until you hit max level (3). | |
| Streetwise | 2.1% ⬆️ | Have a crew member acquire all nine Efficient Driver experience improvements. | This probably requires a bit of strategy – like focusing on only leveling up Efficient Driver on someone until you unlock this. | |
| The Dawn of Automation | 41.2% ⬇️ | Have a crew member operate an automated delivery. | Make an automated delivery route and assign a crew member to it. Simple as that. |
Hooligans and rival outfits

| Killing Them Softly | 27.1% ⬇️ | Kill a rival gang member or corner hooligan without a firearm. | Tricky, unless you have several crew members with melee weapons gang up on them. Probably best early on, when your enemies are less likely to have guns. |
| One of Us | 16.8% ↔️ | Have a corner hooligan join your crew. | “Hey, I could use someone like you.” |
| Tighten the Screws | 15.1% ⬆️ | Agree to a truce when asked by a rival outfit. | If you’re lucky, you can get a good amount of cash for it. |

| Neighborhood Watch | Before EoP | 32.3% ⬇️ | Extort protection money from 8 local businesses. | Every business in your territory within one corner of a front can be extorted for money. You get $20 per business, and the nearest front is where they deposit the money. Protection rackets are bread and butter to gangsters! |

| Tied Houses | 1.0% ↔️ | Have exclusive trade deals with any 9 businesses at the same time. | You don’t need to keep having 9 exclusive deals for the rest of the game. Just go around until you have 9 exclusive deals, get the achievement, and then let them lapse (unless you want to renew them). | |
