Achievements are markers of accomplishment awarded to the player of a video game for reaching certain milestones. Because they are broadly parodies of video games, achievements exist in joke form in some MS Paint Adventures, and in real form in the Steam versions of actual MSPA video games.

In Homestuck[]

The achievements of Sburb players are recorded in the form of ACHIEVEMENT RUNGSHS on the Hero's Echeladder, and then in the form of ACHIEVEMENT BADGEsHS on the Kiddie Camper Handysash for Heroes in the god tiers.

In Hiveswap[]

Steam records achievements in order of which have been obtained, and then in order of how many players have achieved them. They are listed here in the order they are most likely to be obtained over the course of the game, and separated into achievements which are necessary for the completion of the game and achievements which may be skipped or missed.

Act 1[]

All achievement names in Act 1 are prefaced with a ">" on Steam, in reference to MS Paint Adventure commands.

HiveswapAchievement Boros
BOROS Picked up where you'll leave off. There is currently no known way to earn this achievement. Judging by the description, it is speculated that this achievement can only be gotten when a save file from Act 1 is carried over into either the later acts of Hiveswap or Hauntswitch, possibly with a matching OURO achievement. This is also the only achievement to not be hidden, meaning that its description is viewable to anyone who hasn't achieved it, and even those who don't own Act 1.
