Fallout: New Vegas is sure to be one of this fall’s most massive hits. If it’s anywhere near as good as Fallout 3, players will undoubtedly want to put in many hours tracking down the game’s many achievements.

There are 50 achievements in total, and in the spirit of helping you plan your strategy for grabbing them all, we present the full list:
