    Neither my shocktober or fifa punchcard have shown up in my rewards yet, though I use 33000 points to get farcry half price but used the punch card to get 6000 back which was handy

    50 point punchcard there in the rewards app for trying the F1 2021 trial, you just need to activate it and click the store link no need to bother downloading it.

    ^

    Was wondering about that one alright! Not that it's a bad game or anything, just didn't feel like playing it yesterday 😀



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,620 ✭✭✭Treppen


    If yeer as frugal and scabby as me... Check out this Revolut/Tesco offer up to 20% back on purchases in store..

    Not supposed to include gift cards... But loadsa people are buying buckets of Xbox gift cards and getting 20% cash back into their revolut a/c

    In theory you could buy €500 worth of gift cards (with a few return visits, max reward per shop visit is €30) and get a Series X for NET €400!

    Weekly Treasure is there today 💰



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,503 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    There's 150 points to be had for 3 achievements in Back 4 Blood.

    It's on cloud for those who want to avoid a 64GB install 😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,620 ✭✭✭Treppen


    Achievements are all multiplayer it seems. I suspect this might be another Dead Before Daylight chore .

    I'll wait for Rewards Hunter to come up with a plan.

    There's a few suggestions on r/Microsoftrewards



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,503 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    Yeah, I was trying it in solo play and nothing was popping.

    Was hoping for a few handy ones! Will also wait for your man with his take on it 😊

    You gotta use the new "Insert Media" button down the bottom if you want to make it appear on boards now. Slight pain using it for twitter, but all up, it's easier for youtube videos, just copy paste the link into it.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,620 ✭✭✭Treppen


    You can download this Xbox solitaire on your Android phone (sign in using Xbox live). There's buckets of achievements plus new ones added this week.

  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭John Horgan


    I see there's a punch card for Back 4 Blood for 250 points.

    I think I read somewhere that they blocked achievements for single player though



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,620 ✭✭✭Treppen


    Just completed it.


    Just do a quick run through of tutorial on first level run so you know where the pathway is.

    Then do campaign multiplayer on same level. Try and push your team to keep going as quick as possible to finish without anyone dying. Then you'll get an achievement for that. Plus the other basic achievement for completing first level.

    Next... When you get on to later level, if a hoard attacks (just shoot ahead to wake them up ) then jump in to the rush point with your axe, wait until your knocked out then start chopping like mad before passing out or being revived. If you kill 15 then that should pop (mine didn't pop until I opened the game again though).


    Not a bad old game in the end.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 463 ✭✭gmg678


    There is an easier one for Back 4 Blood if you have a friend. Just need to invite them to a game and an achievement pops.



  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,392 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    If you drop some ammo on the ground one will pop. Also if you free a player from a cocoon (I ended up getting this by accident as I died, then took control of a bot and then freed another bot from a cocoon). i think you migt get one for killing your first zombie or something too as I had one pop at the very start of the first campaign mission. So that was a handy 3 chievos without even trying.

    Also if you fail a mission, go back to main campsite menus and go to the desk beside the cars in garage and buy potion.

    Microsoft Sudoku on Android phone playstore also has easy achievements



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 618 ✭✭✭feargantae


    Lads I'm hoping someone can help me here. I'm not able to get the 5 daily points for using the Game Pass app no matter what I try to do. I've tried reinstalling it, signing out, even tried different devices but nothing works. It's frustrating because it means I can never do enough quests to get the bonus 1k points each month. Anyome any ideas?

    Send feedback (shake the app) then contact support using laptop or phone while you're logged in with your outlook.com email address. https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=823675

    They should get back to you .

    My app went wonky and I complained and got 1,000 points

    Got loads of 50pts before as I complain a lot back then.


    My "Use the Game pass app" is still a bit glitchy , I have to log out of the app, close it down then log in again, then open a touch game on the app (Instead of doing the "play any gamepass game" on the xbox itself.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,620 ✭✭✭Treppen


    Just came into GamePass.

    1 hour to complete

    Cloud console and PC

    Only 1GB so should work on my crappy laptop.

    I played that the other night, absolutely loved it both in terms of the humour and the art.

    I'm no art scholar but I do love looking old paintings and something I have always done if on holiday is to go museums and galleries. The guy has basically made a game out of what was likely royalty free art and music. It's actually really clever.

    I did know however the main character is Bellona, Roman goddess of war as painted by Rembrandt van Rijn.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,577 ✭✭✭DeSelby83


    I have around 20k points now, can buy 4X€5 vouchers and apply them to a game or do they have to be used individually?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,620 ✭✭✭Treppen


    From what I gather ( and I've never cashed in points!), to be safe you would avoid hassle by using your vouchers to buy credit then if you have to make up the shortfall, use your money to buy more credit, so that when you go to purchase you pay for it all with credit.

    I think people have run into issues paying with partial credit card and partial rewards credit.

    What's the game?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    They can all be used in the one purchase. It can be quite time consuming for bigger buys



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    Not aware of any such issues. I bought my Series X with a mix of Reward vouchers and TopCashBack redeemed vouchers (which the MS store sees as normal purchased credit)



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    This weeks are super easy. Costume quest took me about 5 minutes. Just run around the starting area on the street pressing X at the mailboxes an other things, when you run out reload.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,620 ✭✭✭Treppen


    You can do combat Pokémon style stuff if you knock on certain doors. It gives more points quicker. Just hit X or y or a at the exact time it tells you during combat



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,741 ✭✭✭Nyum Nyum


    Thanks for the info. Handy for the daily achievements 🙂


    Whoever made that video though wants hanging. What a knobhead.

    Ya that's Welsh Hunter, he's pretty good with the walkthroughs though and always gives the button names in case you haven't played for a while and forget the controller configuration. He has tonnes of games for achievements.

    After a while you'll actually start to find the jokes a bit funny



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,741 ✭✭✭Nyum Nyum


    Yeah....no. Not for me I'm afraid. Decent game though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,392 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Just getting myself into gathering reward points. Without trying too much, how many points should I be getting per week? I earned 2,500 in October, is this about right? Or am I well short?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,620 ✭✭✭Treppen


    Averages out about 6-7k a month for me over the year. That's doing absolutely everything available (except for that Dead by Daylight quest which was cursed).

    Make sure you have the Xbox rewards app on your console too. There's a few points in that in the weekly streak + amem + scroll down for 15 points every 3 days.

    Also daily log ins and open any gamepass game on your phone app.

    Find games that give easy achievements for your Amem daily 50pts.

    Follow r/microsoftrewards on Reddit but that can be a bit scatty at times.

    Follow Rewards Hunter on YouTube.

    True achievements website is worthwhile linking in with. They also have guides but I can never find them on the site

    Generally speaking the new weekly quests come out Tuesday 7pm but can be very buggy on Tuesday .

    New monthlies will be out tomorrow so stay tuned here.

    There another 500pts up today in your Xbox rewards app. Back for Blood achievement, the ladder one seems a piece of cake. Can be done on cloud app too apparently.

    Cool. Got it anyway last night, but was just wondering. Sound...

    It'll be available between 0:00 and 23:59 on the given day that it shows up.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,685 ✭✭✭Darren 83


    My Microsoft top 10 is complete but didn’t receive the 500pts both cards are complete anyone else have this issue?



  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,392 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,620 ✭✭✭Treppen


    Same here.


    Meanwhile ... Read a bit about the Soccer game quest and glad I'm not doing it. It's in the same league as Dead By Daylight quest.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,503 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    I did the soccer one myself. Knew it would be pure luck, took about 40 mins if I remember correctly before my team got a lucky one and won 1-0.

    It was afterwards that I noticed the MS 500 pointer and it already had achievement ticked from something I earned playing the footy game, so I just activated it and it gave me 500 points.

    Seemed a bit more worth it, for the torture 😁



  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭John Horgan


    I got that one on the first try myself.

    Just pure luck but could imagine it being very frustrating since there's little to no control over it

    Really annoyed I have been playing forza for the last 5 days or so and unlocked a fair few achievements but now none have unlocked in the gamepass app as its not officially released until 2 I think



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,620 ✭✭✭Treppen


    I just tried it out on the cloud for the first time after 6pm today and the opening sequence achievement clocked in.

    As per usual with microsoft rewards... try to play as little games as possible!

    I knew Back for Blood was being promoted so much I tried to hold off playing it. Same with State of Decay.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,503 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    I got 150 points for the 3 FH5 achievements from last weeks new bunch on Tuesday 2nd.

    It appeared again today and I got 3 more achievements.

    I know I got the 300 points from both, but can only see it once in the completed section.

    Anyone else notice the same? 🙂



  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭John Horgan


    There's a punch card there for an achievement in FH5.

    It's worth 250 points

    And also the weekly treasure for 100 points



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,620 ✭✭✭Treppen


    Forza 5 first 3 achievements

    Link above gone funny !
