How to unlock the Level 30 achievement

    This achievement is self-explanatory.

    Also FYI - I went into the last mission on Tartarus with only a few thousand XP in to level 28. I was able to gain two full levels in the final mission.

    I’m mentioning this because the game ends immediately following the final mission. I was worried that I would not hit it and that I would have to reload an old save and do some side missions instead. I’m not exactly sure how much XP exactly the final mission yields, but again it was enough to level me from 28 to 30.

    JakkeSWEI finished the game at lvl 20 with awesome gear. Creative energy weapon build. Its pretty annoying that you cant go back.

    JimmieWorldI reached lvl 30 after I completed the main Monarch quest. Right when I returned to Sofia and talk to her.
    I recommend to do all companion quests as they give you a tons of XP. I didn't even finished all side quest on monarch, really!

    Drazer76I’ve done every side quest I’ve got, all companion quests. Must be missing some stuff to get leveled a bit before the last bit.

    The achievement is unlocked when you reach level 30 during a single playthrough. It is missable because it is easy to get to the point of no return well before level 30. You may expect to level up once or twice after landing on Tartarus. However, if you are below level 28 when Tartarus becomes available as a destination, do some leveling before going there and triggering the point of no return.

    The achievement becomes much easier to get if one's intent is to play one or both of the DLCs. The base game is capped at level 30. Each of the two DLCs raises the cap by 3 levels. If one is only playing the base game and is playing efficiently--no grinding for the sake of XP--one may reach the point of no return at around level 25 even if all tasks, side quests, faction quests, and companion quests are completed.

    Accordingly, if you feel you are not leveling fast enough and are not going to play either DLC, make it a point to earn extra XP by taking every opportunity for a skill check, a lockpick, a hack, and discovering locations—vending machines, workbenches, and named places on the map—to help you level up.

    On the other hand, if you plan to play through Peril on Gorgon for The Outer Worlds and/or Murder on Eridanos for The Outer Worlds, you can take a much more relaxed approach to this achievement. This is especially the case because either or both of the DLCs can be started from the system save file created upon reaching the point of no return. So, you can play the DLC(s) knowing the precise target you need to attain to put this achievement within reach.
