How To Get the ‘You’re Fired!’ Achievement in Revenge of the Savage Planet

There’s a whole host of trophies to unlock in the comedic, satirical adventure through space that is Revenge of the Savage Planet. Most of them are gained through basic gameplay alone, but some require a little bit more effort and know-how.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is the sequel to Journey to the Savage Planet and, like the original, it’s filled with secrets and puzzles to complete. The “You’re Fired” achievement can be unlocked at the very beginning of a playthrough, so it’s easy to miss if you don’t go through the motions and explore your surroundings in their entirety.

As soon as you’ve progressed through the ‘tutorial’ and made your way to Nu Florida on Stellaris Prime, you’ll gain access to the Habitat. After entering, you’ll find that you cannot leave until you’ve watched the video message awaiting you on the huge screen on the wall.

The message is from Alta, letting you know that you no longer have a job and they are abandoning you in the far reaches of space. Lovely. You can choose to skip over this message, but it’s worth watching just for the humor, even if it is a bit dark and far too relatable.

When the video is over (or if you skipped it), head over to the Computer in the corner and interact with it. Set up your profile by selecting your Employee Image (be warned, this will change the noises you make!) and then navigate to K-Mail. Find the one that’s titled “Goodbye from Alta Interstellar” and open it to unlock the “You’re Fired!” achievement.

Don’t worry if you miss it at the beginning of your playthrough. You can simply head to the Computer at any time and open up the message to gain the achievement. Once you’ve set up your profile and left the Computer, you’ll also have access to the Wardrobe and customizable Habitat Living Quarters that you can fill with furniture and decorations that you unlock as you progress.
