Hi, I posted this as a small note in my other bug thread, but I wanted to post it separately because it’s an achievement breaker. Once you get the hat to the Lambda Core teleportation puzzle… I throw it through the portal, and it lands on the spinning platform. I wait for it to come back around and follow through the portal. It was at that point that I found out I couldn’t interract with the hat while it was on the platform. I could shoot it off and pick it up below, but there was no way to get it through the portals.
I found out that same thing on the first rotating platform. I used a couple of barrels in the previous hallway (marked “Coolant”) to get over the “fence” in the first portal room. That way I could carry it, and throw it along. The problem on the first platform didn’t seem to be an issue on the next two(?) platforms. I managed to get all the way to the last portal to Xen, but throwing it in there didn’t give me the achievement anyway. :[
Anyone got a solution for that?
Edit: Note that you have to time it carefully over the “fence”, to soon and you’ll get smashed for some reason. Collision issue I guess.
do you mean this hat?
I found it, threw at the security guard then the portal. Was still working for me tho.
Yeah, got a picture here
But as mentioned, didn’t get the achievement when I threw it in. I have to wait till the portal is ready, right…?
That’s weird. I will try it myself and see if i get the same problem, since i haven’t tried that yet (just threw it on some random portals).
POSSIBLE SPOILER:
If you go sideways through the entrance portal while holding the hat, you’ll pop out the exit still holding the hat.
As for me, I just couldn’t get it to Xen. I carried it with me when I jumped into the portal, and I tried throwing it into the portal ahead of me, multiple times, but the achievement never registered.
maybe wont work untill we can actually load Xen?
Maybe, but since I’m assuming there is going to be a load through the portal, and trigger load won’t work on an entity (as far as I know, because the map isn’t loaded yet), the only trigger for the achievement should be when the hat touches the portal. To get it through the load, they could toggle a global variant, causing a “new” hat to spawn in Xen… But throwing it into the portal should be enough.
There are TWO hidden hats, this one posted above is the second one and much farther along in the game, the one found earlier seems to be the one that registers. I brought along both, cause I had the same issue before, it wouldnt register. I tossed both into the portal, but the first one registered.
Where is the first one?
EDIT: Found this in a youtube comment.
Inside a shipping container in the last assassin area.

Ironic because I was thinking of trying to get in there to find some supplies and I didn’t because I couldn’t make the jump, didn’t think of stacking stuff to get up.
Wow, I didn’t realize there was another one. I only had the one from the shipping container.
I just got it with the hat from the shipping container in the last assassin warehouse. I simply held it in front of me as I teleported to Xen.
If there really is a 2nd hat I’d love to know where.
Oh yeah, meant to post here. Climbing the fence in the reactor portal puzzle did the trick, and I got the achievement.
I didn’t have to climb. I was able to just drop it over the fence and it luckily landed on the ledge. I then picked it up after teleporting as I circled.
Thanks for that.
I was thinking it was “way back” long before the one in the assassin warehouse.
