How to Get the Bucket Challenge Achievement in Life Is Strange Reunion

Life Is Strange: Reunion has several achievements and trophies that can be missed if you don’t interact with the world and only focus on the main objectives of each chapter. One of these missable achievements is called ‘Bucket Challenge’ and tasks you with preventing the quad graffiti from being removed. If you’re unsure how to do this, I’ll explain the steps you need to take in which chapter of Life Is Strange: Reunion to unlock it.

How to Stop the Quad Graffiti from Being Removed and Get the ‘Bucket Challenge’ Achievement in Life Is Strange: Reunion

The ‘Bucket Challenge’ achievement/ trophy is unlocked during the ‘Class Act’ chapter, where Max is teaching her students the art of taking photos of strangers in the Quad. After the initial cutscene, you’ll be given free rein to explore the quad and interact with the different students and objects.

Head over towards the scaffolding to the right of where you take control of Max, and you’ll find some graffiti in red paint next to it. If you interact with it, this will prompt the custodian to begin cleaning it off in his typically eccentric way of dancing around while he does it. Enjoy the show and then get ready to undo all of his hard work.

Rewind time to before you interacted with the graffiti. If you look on the ground just next to it, you’ll spot a bucket that you can interact with to move. Don’t worry about being caught by the custodian; he’s on the main path nearby and is dancing around. While he’s clearly preoccupied, move the bucket and then interact with the graffiti again.

When the custodian comes to remove the graffiti, he begins his dance routine and accidentally kicks his bucket over. Without his suds, he can’t wipe away the graffiti, so your mission is complete in the most inconspicuous way possible.

As soon as that scene has finished, you’ll unlock the ‘Bucket Challenge’ achievement/trophy in Life Is Strange: Reunion. Looking for more achievement guides? We’ve got you covered with guides for the ‘Happy Birthday!,’ ‘Prospective Student,’ and ‘Not a Rat’ achievements in the game that can easily be missed during your playthrough if you don’t know where to look.
