What “hidden” means on Steam here
Steam’s app record for WARDOGS (app 1867240) reports achievements.total 10 and marks exactly one highlighted achievement hidden: “That was rude” has hidden: 1; each of the other nine has hidden: 0. That is metadata, not deletion. Valve’s public community achievements page still lists all ten to anyone, signed in or not, with a display name and unlock rate. The hidden row is the one whose description text is blank — the blank is the source’s, not an omission on this page.
Is there a secret eleventh achievement?
No. The same app record that marks “That was rude” hidden also reports achievements.total 10, and the community page lists ten rows. Nothing in Valve’s public endpoints or BULKHEAD’s Steam news posts points to an undescribed eleventh unlock.

What players say unlocks it
Steam publishes no description for “That was rude”. Its internal identifier is ACH_TUTORIAL_PUNCH_KRISTOPHER — an internal label, not a published requirement, and this page does not treat the id as proof of the condition. Players on launch day describe unlocking it by punching Kristopher, a tutorial character, after reviving him. That path is recorded on the skip-tutorial page as a player account. Skipping the tutorial means neither tutorial achievement unlocks until you go back and finish it.
The other nine, and Big Spender
The full rarity table, Fat Stacks vs Big Spender, and every dated Valve reading sit on the achievements hub. Big Spender’s $100,000 single-loadout builds have their own page.
Common questions
Does WARDOGS have hidden achievements?
Yes. Steam’s app record marks exactly one achievement hidden: “That was rude” (hidden: 1). The other nine are hidden: 0. There is no secret eleventh achievement — Steam reports ten total.
What is the hidden achievement in WARDOGS?
“That was rude.” Steam shows its name and said 12.8% of owners held it on 21 September 2026, but withholds its description. Its internal id is ACH_TUTORIAL_PUNCH_KRISTOPHER.
How do you get the hidden achievement in WARDOGS?
Steam does not publish the condition. Players report punching Kristopher in the tutorial after reviving him. That is a player account, not an official guide, and this site has not reproduced it.
Can you unlock That was rude if you skipped the tutorial?
Not while it stays skipped. Both tutorial-tied achievements need the tutorial finished; go back and complete it if you skipped.
Is That was rude the rarest WARDOGS achievement?
No. On 21 September 2026 it sat at 12.8%. Big Spender was rarer at 0.1% (community page) / 0.0 on the percentages API in the same minute.
Sources & verification
The hidden flag, achievement total and unlock rates are Valve’s, read 21 September 2026 at 13:02 UTC from the appdetails and global percentages endpoints plus the community achievements page in the same minute. The punch-Kristopher unlock path is a launch-day player report already cited on /skip-tutorial/; this site has not reproduced it. BULKHEAD’s Steam news corpus still contains zero uses of the word “achievement” as of that same check.
| Source | Type | Read |
|---|---|---|
| Valve · Global achievement percentages, app 1867240Returned all ten achievements with their internal identifiers and unlock rates at 13:02 UTC: ACH_TUTORIAL_COMPLETED 77.2, ACH_COMBAT_RICOCHET_KILL 20.1, ACH_ECONOMY_SINGLE_LIFE_PROFIT 16.1, ACH_TUTORIAL_PUNCH_KRISTOPHER 12.8, ACH_COMBAT_LONG_SHOT 7.6, ACH_ECONOMY_TOP_CASH_EARNER 7.5, ACH_SURVIVAL_CONTROL_ZONE_SURVIVOR 4.8, ACH_COMBAT_DEFIBRILLATOR_KILL 4.1, ACH_MATCH_CLEAN_SWEEP 2.7 and ACH_ECONOMY_LOADOUT_SPEND 0.0. The 2026-09-15 reading of the same endpoint returned 74.8, 14.8, 11.7, 12.1, 3.8, 5.7, 3.3, 1.7, 1.1 and 0.0 for the same identifiers: nine of the ten rose in six days, and two pairs swapped rank. The endpoint is live and these rates move daily; the page preserves the dated reading rather than implying a current one. | Publisher stated | 2026-09-21 |
| Steam Community · WARDOGS achievements pageValve-hosted page for the same app, read at 13:02 UTC, in the same minute as the percentages endpoint. Supplies the display names and description text the percentages endpoint does not carry, and shows Big Spender at 0.1% where the API returned 0.0 — the same disagreement it showed on 15 September, now reproduced six days later. It shows no description for “That was rude”; that blank is the source's, not an omission here. | Publisher stated | 2026-09-21 |
| Steam · WARDOGS store app record, categories and requirementsReports achievements.total 10 and marks exactly one highlighted achievement as hidden: That was rude has hidden: 1 while the other nine have hidden: 0. It also states 50 GB minimum storage, unchanged. Steam Achievements is among the app's categories; Family Sharing is not. The same endpoint listed Family Sharing on 15 and 17 September 2026 and does not on 19–21 September, and the served store page agrees — the before-and-after reads are logged in RESEARCH.md. BULKHEAD's official updates account separately says the feature was disabled because accounts were using it to bypass bans and cheat; that statement is cited on the affected pages rather than inferred from this store record. | Publisher stated | 2026-09-21 |
| Steam · “Community Servers w/ all unlocks, only cash required?”, WARDOGS discussions, 17 September 2026Opened 2026-09-17 15:35 UTC. A feature request, not a report: the OP asks BULKHEAD to “allow community servers the tools needed to change those parameters” so that unlocks persist and only cash is required. It is cited here for one thing only — that as of 17 September a player was asking for controls of that kind, which is not the same as establishing that they do or do not exist. Nothing in the thread describes observed behaviour, and no reply from BULKHEAD appears in it. | Unverified | 2026-09-21 |
