Hey there, welcome to this post, Everything you need to know about Punch Club 2: Fast Forward – Achievement Guide and Tips/Tricks may be found in this guide. Take each step in accordance with this guidance.

A complete walkthrough with helpful hints. We welcome and value all suggestions and comments.

Preface

The good news is that there are no missable achievements if you play regularly, and while there are two paths in later chapters, they both lead to the same ending and unlock the same achievements.
But!! Some event-related milestones can be unlocked if you rush through a given section of the tale. Specifically, the tournament standings. I believe this is more of a glitch in the current version since some parts of the event will run, but the main opponent will not spawn, and so on.

So I’d recommend making some backup saves on a regular basis. Especially before competing for rank 1 in tourneys, as that is the chapter divider.
The game itself does not have a game over; any opponent you cannot defeat will remain in the game, allowing you opportunities to improve before confronting them again.

Save scumming is currently possible (as of ver 22jul’23; not sure if this will be patched later), by manually saving before every fight and exiting without saving after losing. This gives you another opportunity to re-challenge without incurring extra time loss in the game; sometimes just changing approaches will suffice; otherwise, accept your loss and improve yourself first before engaging in further battles.

If you find yourself soft-locked (ie no energy or funds to work, not enough food on hand), talk to your mom. And keep this in mind: if you played the demo version, certain achievements might not unlock; in this instance, you must start over by creating a new character, though the good news is you will get an adorable pet when doing so!

Chapter 1 – Silver League –

• In the earlier days, i would suggest focusing on one stat, either str/agi/stm, so you can pick a school and get a better style. There is basically no wrong decision here, so pick whatever you like..
• For happiness, open your daily top kek jokes and pet your cyberpet, i find it enough until even late game. This in the early game will save you money from buying sodas. Happiness will affect your efficiency, including those happy/sad faces when you are exercising.
• Try to get 2 promotions on the workplaces before getting ranked 1 in Silver League, it will help you a lot in Chapter 2 later. Don’t forget to install the software for each place to get the max benefit
• Use the food buff from the workplace that is suitable to your style if you have a tough time

  > noodle: mental balance (+5% dodge chance, -10% energy consumption)

  > slimeranch: melange (10%block chance, +25energy between rounds)

  > junkyard: battle trance (-10% undefended damage received, +15hp between rounds)

• Try to fight all opponents, especially if they looks unique, since they may trigger some events, ie. Ruth in silver league, skipping her may make you stuck in the questline

Champion – starter pack

Now you are the best among the worst! New horizons are waiting for you — be rank 1 at Silver League

Chapter 2 – Second Division –

in Chapter 2, there are some big changes..

notably you have 2 new work that will take your daytime: gym and police work.

usually, each work will have 1-day interval, and the tournament at the third day, so it will be hard to manage your time for training to raise your stat.

One effective strategy is dropping either job. I skipped 3 days of police work, was suspended (but not fired), and could resume it afterward with my work bar progress still intact! This strategy can especially come in handy if you haven’t reached maxing your base job (junkyard/noodle/slime farm). Assuming you want to experience both stories equally, however focusing on one may help speed things along faster.

some tips:

• if you have a hard time, there are some helpful NPC under the bridge, don’t hesitate to buy 2 medium boosters or one big booster to amp up your stat temporarily
• the spoon kid under the bridge can help you save time, and/or keep some of your lower stat low. One stat can be traded for around 15 tonus points, and that one stat can be regained superfast if the stat is on the lower side (under 10)
• For each path, you should find 2 more styles: one focusing on an enemy that blocks, and one that focused on an enemy that dodges. Definitely pay attention and use this to your advantage!
• Casey will start having like 2 slices of pizza leftover daily after some event, so take advantage of this!
• Do not hesitate to use bus, since your work now has tight time limits, in the earlier stages, you cannot even reach the second milestone for 100$, so after you meet your quota, feel free to just do another thing. Don’t forget the software to lower bus rate, and if you can get a free ticket from the courier, that is a huge timesaver
• Use Neurotrainer to raise your core stat (highest one), and train manually at night to recover your tonus.
• If you find it hard to use Neurotrainer at the daytime because of the timings, you can still train traditionally at night but don’t install/remove Silver’s software that amps neuro training result and lower traditional training, and instead install Emil’s manual training software instead.

No blades in the gym

You have proven yourself in the police. You will be better now at paperwork.– after about 25% progress bar at the police station, you will get a case to Silver gym. This achievement will be unlocked after the case is over.

You have defended your right to be a legal courier — in second league, after some victory, you will get a celebration donut, which you must get from beating the courier. beating him gives this achievement.

You have found all the lost shells. Apu is happy. — after fake resistance incident you will be tasked by Apu to hunt the toilet pap– seashells.

Deal with life

Your mom took care of you. Now it’s up to you to take care of her! — unlocked after the cutscene of MC’s mother unconcious in hospital

Champion – no way back

You won the Second Division of the Pro League! The absolute championship — beat Chappie

Chapter 3 – First Division –

Congrats on reaching chapter 3, if you build a decent build, there should be no problem to cruise chapter 3. Stat building over the 25s takes a long time.. so you may want to try to alternate to another style using your leftover GPP just to have fun, or you can stick through if you want to unlock the whole skill tree.

You can farm GPP by hacking the matches even if you fight lower rank opponent for money, you will still get around 100-200 points besides the money.. Though the cap is around 9 thousand for division one, which i think is just enough for maxing out one skill tree. In my playthrough i went agi route in chapter 1 and 2, and in chapter 3 for the fun, i opened the str route, i got to around the 25s in the skill tree for both, which is enough to beat any opponent to endgame..

Just remember to capitalize on your opponent weakness, ie:

> if your opponent is low on energy, try to use moves that drain his energy, he will lose tons of hp when he is down from exhaustion.

> if your opponent is low on initiative, use moves that drain initiative, making him a punching bag.

> your opponent cannot dodge if he is pushed to the rope, capitalize on some moves that pushes through

The die is cast

You made your choice, and it was definitely worth it. — pick either become a detective (taking sergeant’s offer) or a sensei (taking Mick’s offer) and after your work bar is maxed, you get a cutscene and this achievement.

Mom got better

You happy to see mother’s smile again… — after either becoming a sensei or detective, your hospital fee is paid for. Player’s mom is cured and this achievement will unlock.

THE MACHINES ROSE FROM THE ASHES OF THE NUCLEAR FIRE…, ahem, forget it. — around rank 6 in First League, you can fight “Undercover Robot” and after some cutscene, this achievement will unlock

Slimes can rise too. Why not? — there will be an event where Apu dissapear from his shop. After meeting him and his friends in sewer, you will get this achievement.

after beating Jax, you will lose access to the tournament, so you can’t farm gpp anymore.. also you will lose access to some of the previous achievement, ie. progressing your job at gym/police station will have you stuck. ie. i cannot progress getting a disciple at old house because lil bobo isn’t there anymore, and i can’t even trigger the Apu dissapearance event.

Another world
