Achievements
Achievements are for the measuring of a player's progress in the game and can be a motivator to use certain weapons or to hunt certain animals
When ever you complete an achievement in the game, a message is displayed in the upper left corner of your screen. If you complete multiple achievements with the same harvest, all according achievements will be displayed. For example, if you make your 25th kill with the .357 revolver, and it happens to be your 100th pheasant kill, you will see both achievements displayed at the same time.
Achievements used to be the basis for calculating the Hunter Score. This is no longer the case since the introduction of Hunter Score 2.0.
Progress Overview
Your Achievement page shows your progress in the different areas. Move your mouse over the progress bars to see the numbers behind them. You will also find your five most recent achievements. If you completed multiple achievements of the same category, only the latest will be listed here. For example, when you made 10 kills with the Muzzleloader, you will only see the 10 kill achievement, but not the 1 kill achievement, even if they are both among your most recent ones.

How to progress
In this example the player has 166 Pheasant kills. By completing the next achievement of 250 kills, 10 Hunter Score points are rewarded.
Note that the 44% progress displayed in this example is calculated based on the difference of the last achievement (100 kills) and the next achievement (250 kills).
250 - 100 = 150 kills required for the next achievement
166 - 100 = 66 kills made since the last achievement
66 kills are 44% of the 150 kills required for the next achievement.
Achievement Collector Badges
Achievement Collector Badges are available in five different categories, named after EHR animals and ranked by their hunting difficulty. Those badges will be awarded to you after you have reached a certain percentage of Achievement points available and will be displayed on your profile, under your profile picture. Badges are dynamic, which means that if the amount of Achievement points becomes higher, they get recalculated.
Turkey – 90 – 100% of all existing achievement points reached
Red Fox – 75 – 89% of all existing achievement points reached
Black Bear – 50 – 74% of all existing achievement points reached
Roosevelt Elk – 25 – 49% of all existing achievement points reached
Moose – 5 – 24% of all existing achievement points reached
Achievement Master Header Images
These are the available in six different variations for each of the Achievement categories. You unlock them by reaching certain levels in becoming a Species, Weapons or Exploration Master. Unlike Achievement Collector Badges, once unlocked, images remain available to you forever, even if there are more species and weapons introduced later. You can pick the image you want to display on your profile within the Profile Settings menu. If you don't choose any, the most recently earned head image will be displayed by default.
