    This achievement is story related. Unless you are subjected to a glitch, you will unlock it upon completing Chapter 10 during your second playthrough. During the Threat Disposal mission, you will have to assist Pascal. After you do so, you will proceed to fight a boss. Before you head to the boss, go to the nearest access point and make a save--this is insurance in case of a glitch. After the boss battle--it has several phases--you will trigger some cut scenes. When they conclude, you will obtain the second formal ending of the game--Ending B--or not to Be. It will be announced as follows on a blank screen.

    or not to [B]e

    Immediately following, the credits roll. As the credits roll, you control 2B in the Bunker with some straight forward play. After the credits, you see a preview. It is about this point that the achievement should unlock. At the end of the Preview, you will be given a chance to save. Say, yes and you will be given a choice of three save slots. If you have not yet gotten this achievement, make sure you do not overwrite the save file you made after assisting Pascal but, instead, use one of the other two slots. After you make your save, you end up at the title screen. Select the save file you just made and you will begin your third playthrough.

    If the achievement does not unlock by the end of the Preview, you have probably experienced a glitch. If this happens, clear the cache. To do so, turn off the console by holding the cn_guide on the console for at least ten seconds and then unplug the console for at least 20 seconds. Load the save you made after assisting Pascal. Clearing the cache will most likely remedy the problem and you should earn the achievement about the time when the preview starts immediately following the credits.

    Ending B: or not to [B]e

    Load a save that has achieved ending A, then play through the game again (on the same save file) and complete all of the main story quests.

    NOTE: Some people have had problems with unlocking this achievement. Though it's been mentioned that completing a quest has resolved this, I suggest saving as often as possible in a secondary save slot so that you're able to quickly attempt the achievement again.

    NoHeroes94This unlocks as the preview rolls, you might want to add!

    +1 on the backup save advice nevertheless! I'm paranoid about save corruption, so as the game has 3 saves I always save twice and keep 1 slightly further back, in case I royally screw up

    Also, it might be arbitrary but I didn't skip the preview until the cuervo unlocked (2nd attempt). This bug never happened on PS4, weirdly.
