Trivia

• The "B Polite, B Efficient" achievement is a reference to Mick Mundy's iconic line from Team Fortress 2's animated short Meet the Sniper "Professionals have standards. Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet."
  • This is in reference to how BB's hit list gives Popgoes a similar job to that of sniper, being an assassin.
• Before 3rd of July 2022, many of the achievements were hidden. Those include: "You Should Be Golden", "On the Plus Side", "B Polite, B Efficient", "Dethroned", "Dethroned Ultra", "I'm Sorry I Axed", "In Its Code", "Paranormal Inactivity", "Paranormal Reactivity", "Demolition Inevitable", "Future Shock", "Audiophile", "A Fine Addition", "Cursed Whispers", "Scrapped", "Scrapped Ultra", "Departed", "Departed Ultra", "[REDACTED]", and "Nice Crib!".
• In-game menu for the Steam/Console achievements has been considered for Switch and Mobile releases.
• As a joke, StupidButterfly tweeted a showcase of the achievements with the "Bad Rat Junior" achievement from Bad Rats: the Rats' Revenge in the middle.
