All 53 achievements, unlock rates and fish hats

Quick answer

GONE Fishing has 53 Steam achievements, 24 of them hidden. Most track fish weight (1 lb up to 10,000 lb), days survived (7 to 60), perks and creatures. In 1.0 every legendary and mythic fish also unlocks a hat, and since the launch-day hotfix the whole lobby gets the achievement when anyone lands one. Nine were still at 0.1% on October 21, 2026, the day after launch.

Before you start

  • Names, hidden flags and unlock rates read from Steam's global achievements page on October 21, 2026 at about 04:45 UTC; rates change daily. Kingy hasn't unlocked these in play, so each how-to note comes from the achievement's own description, a GONE Studios post or Steam's internal achievement name, as marked.

Rare-fish hats and achievements in co-op

In 1.0, catching any legendary or mythic fish unlocks its achievement and a hat, the way catching Nessie already unlocked the Nessie hat. More hats unlock as you level up.

Since the launch-day hotfix, when anyone in the lobby lands a legendary or mythic, every player gets the achievement; GONE Studios felt the old rule was too grindy. The hotfix mentions achievements only, so it's not confirmed whether teammates get the hat too.

Cosmetics are chosen from the Cosmetics button in the lobby, which we saw on 1.0.1. We haven't unlocked a hat yet to check where it appears.

Tips for the harder visible ones

Raise your bait score

  1. Push a friend: hold E on a teammate. The prompt fills in 7.5 seconds and the push is strongest at 20; the achievement needs at least 10.
  2. MAX WIN: a max win in the gambling pool by anyone in your group counts.
  3. Stingray: hold Q as you drop TNT into water to light it. An Early Access post gave TNT fishing a 5% stingray chance, and 1.0 allows it on any map.
  4. Rare fish: hunt as a full lobby. One catch now gives everyone the achievement.
  5. Weight milestones: bait score decides which species bites, and the Journal's big-fish page lists bait and depth first, so raise your score and fish deeper water.

How this list was made

Steam's global achievements page lists all 53 with their unlock rates, hidden ones included. We read it on October 21, 2026 at about 04:45 UTC, and the percentages will climb as more players finish runs.

Where an achievement's description is only a joke, the how-to column relies on a GONE Studios post or the internal name Steam stores for it, and says so. Nobody at Kingy has unlocked these yet.
