The Skin Stapler Achievement Checklist
Track all sixteen Steam achievements in one sitting or replay.
The Skin Stapler lists sixteen achievements on Steam for App ID 4310610. Names often joke about grindhouse tropes, nursery rhymes, and Carrion City misery—fitting Tainted Pact’s tone for the August 6, 2026 launch. This checklist helps you mark pops during a first playthrough or structured replay without this wiki inventing secret triggers that patches could change. Verify exact conditions in-game and on Steam community threads after reading Updates Hub.
How to use this page
Copy the tables into notes or print them. Mark [ ] boxes as you earn achievements. Add short notes when an achievement clearly ties to audio tapes, evidence, or a specific chapter from chapter checklist.
Pre-run setup
- Confirm English VO/subtitles in settings.
- Skim keyboard controls so interact misses do not waste replay time.
- Decide spoiler tolerance—some achievements hint at story beats.

Replay strategy
Keep one clean story save and one hunting save if the game separates chapters clearly. After patches, rerun Collectibles Hub sweeps before blaming Steam sync.

Final sync
When Steam shows sixteen of sixteen unlocked, screenshot your checklist and note the game build string from the options menu so future Updates Hub patches do not confuse which run earned which pop.
Achievement hunting after credits
Post-credits cleanup should start by screenshotting your Steam panel—not third-party sites with fabricated unlock rates. Compare remaining rows on this checklist to Achievements Guide themes before replaying entire campaigns.
