How to unlock the Protection Protocol achievement

    You DO NOT need to send $ for this achievement.

    This is very easy once you obtain the Fractured Ward Guardian. The hard part is that obtaining the Fractured Ward Guardian is somewhat RNG based.

    Once you obtain the Fractured Ward Guardian just equip it before battle when selecting the character for the mission. Continue using Fractured Ward on all your character on all missions until achievement pops. It's that simple. The Guardian will do all the work for you.

    But how do you obtain the Fractured Ward Guardian?

    The Fractured Ward Guardian comes out of Guardian packs you get from the emporium in Shadow Lords mode. There are different Guardian packs of differing value. For this achievement you can use the Fractured Ward Guardian from the least expensive Guardian pack. The quality of the Fractured Ward Guardian does not matter. The cheapest Guardian pack is 500 Gems. You could get extremely lucky and get a Fractured Ward on your 1st pack but more than likely you will have to buy multiple packs and may get doubles of guardians besides the Fractured Ward before finally getting this Guardian.

    But how do I get Gems?

    You can get Gems by playing Shadow Lords mode or by doing daily log in objectives in Single player and Multiplayer modes. The quickest way is to play Shadow Lords but logging in everyday for the daily rewards adds up over time and not only do you get Gems, you also get KI Gold every few days. You can also use KI Gold to but the Guardian packs.

    tldr: Tired of trying to keep up with who you've done what with for achievements? Click my spreadsheet link below and start tracking it!

    This is not a specific guide but more so a checklist along with some tips for tackling this game as a whole. There are other excellent, very detailed guides for unlocking each specific achievement.

    Background
    When I decided to start Killer Instinct from scratch in early 2021 (began 3/26/21 and finished 6/21/21), I decided that I needed a way to guide and track my progress to completion in the most efficient way possible. With a base game of 94 achievements and 28 DLCs which is composed of 23 characters, a ranked MP DLC (League Title Update), a story mode (similar to MK's ladder system), an RPG type mode (Shadow Lords 1 & 2), and Shadow Mode (machine learning type bot simulator) that made up another 370 achievements, this game was going to take some time and coordination.

    Info
    I created a spreadsheet by exporting all of the Achievement Titles, Achievement Descriptions, and Gamerscore from TA. I added the following columns:

    • Order: to keep the initial achievement order
    • BASE/DLC: determines if the achievement was part of the base game or one of the DLCs
    • Release Date: for sorting purposes
    • Type: I created 23 "Types" of achievements in this game, most are repetitive across characters (i.e. win versus match with [insert character])
    • Character: let's you know which character the achievement applies to. There are 29 characters in total. Some achievements are assigned to "Any" meaning those do not apply to a specific character. Omen does not follow the normal DLC achievement path rather it has 5 random achievements tied to it.
    • Unlocked: put an "x" in the cell if you have unlocked it. This ties in with the Pivot tab where you refresh the pivot tables to show your percentage complete.
    If you decide to use the spreadsheet, start by deleting all of the x's in the Unlocked column on KI TA tab (not to be confused with the KI TA sortable tab which is used for sorting to your hearts desire without messing with your main tab). Once you start filling in "x" 's in the KI TA tab, you can refresh the Pivot tab to see your progress based on Type and/or Character.

    I hope this spreadsheet helps for anyone starting this beast of game that is quite fun. It was more time consuming than challenging but overall I really enjoyed it.

    Tips:
    • Complete the Shadow Mode achievements first as these have broken in the past and were unobtainable for a while before they patched it.
    • Find a hardcore, dedicated group to boost ranked achievements. Playing this game legit online will take a while and will be pretty tough!
    • Try to have fun with Shadow Lords Mode, once I understood how it worked (which just took playing it a while) it was a lot of fun!
    • Keep a second controller handy for some of the Fight Challenges. For example, blocks can be done easily by rubber banding your main controller to block while you perform a move with the second controller.
    • If you haven't already, read through the Walkthrough. It was well done up to the point before the writer quit updating it. For the rest, read through the guides and of course, the comments on the guides for good info.
    Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions to make the spreadsheet better.
