Dave the Diver Jungle DLC Achievements: There Are None

Dave the Diver Jungle DLC achievements don't exist, and if you've been checking your Steam achievement list wondering what you're missing from the Jungle Gun's content or anywhere else in the DLC, you're not missing anything. This explains why, and where the game's actual achievement content lives instead.

TL;DR: The In the Jungle DLC (Steam appid 4394810) has zero new achievements, confirmed by Steam Hunters' tracker. MINTROCKET hasn't officially explained why; the leading community theory is that earlier, time-gated DLCs never had achievements for logical reasons, and that pattern just carried over here without revisiting it. The base game's own 43 achievements are unaffected and still the full list available.

Does the jungle DLC have achievements? (quick answer)

No. Steam Hunters' achievement tracker shows zero achievements for the In the Jungle content pack specifically. If you've completed the DLC's story and your achievement count hasn't moved, that's expected behavior, not a bug or a tracking delay. The DLC does add a separate in-game "Jungle Achievements" tracker to Dave's smartphone, but that's an internal completion list, not a Steam achievement, and it won't touch your Steam percentage.

Key takeaways

• The jungle DLC (appid 4394810) ships with 0 new achievements
• The base game keeps its full 43-achievement list, untouched by the DLC
• MINTROCKET hasn't officially explained why; the leading community theory ties it to earlier time-gated DLCs never having achievements
• Earlier Dave the Diver DLCs also shipped without achievements; this isn't a new pattern
• No public statement locks this in permanently, so it's accurate as of launch, not guaranteed forever

Why there are no jungle DLC achievements

Before the DLC launched, this was actually a live debate in the Dave the Diver Steam community. Players speculated the jungle expansion, given its size, would be the one to finally add DLC achievements, since MINTROCKET's earlier, smaller DLCs hadn't included any either.

That didn't happen. Once the DLC released, Steam Hunters' tracker confirmed zero achievements tied to appid 4394810. MINTROCKET has never given an official reason for this, in the Jungle DLC's patch notes or otherwise. The closest thing to an explanation comes from Steam Community discussion threads, where players had noted before launch that the game's earlier, smaller DLCs were time-gated seasonal content, the kind where achievements wouldn't have made much sense to add in the first place. The jungle DLC is permanently available rather than time-gated, so that specific logic doesn't obviously apply to it, but the no-achievements pattern from those earlier DLCs carried over anyway.

The game does track objectives and quests throughout, including in the jungle DLC. None of them are tied to Steam achievements, which is the specific thing this DLC doesn't add.

How this compares to other story DLCs

Plenty of story DLCs across other games ship with their own achievement sets, since expansions this size usually have enough distinct content to support trackable milestones without touching the base game's list. MINTROCKET didn't go that route here, and hasn't said why.

Whether that's the right call is genuinely split in the community. Some players figure the studio simply didn't revisit the achievement question when moving from time-gated seasonal DLCs to a permanent one. Others point out that a jungle expansion this substantial, with 7 story chapters, 9 recruitable staff, and 23 giftable villagers, has more than enough distinct content to have justified its own achievement set. Both reactions show up regularly in Steam discussion threads, and MINTROCKET hasn't weighed in on either.

What players can still pursue

If you're specifically chasing achievement completion, the base game's 43 achievements are the full available list, and they're entirely unaffected by whether you own or play the jungle DLC. Nothing about installing or completing the DLC changes that count, up or down.

The DLC itself isn't short on content to chase, it just isn't achievement-tracked on Steam. Between the staff roster, villager gift-friendship system, and the jungle's own fish roster, there's a genuine completionist path through the DLC, it just won't tick a Steam achievement box when you finish it.

There's also an in-game checklist worth knowing about: the DLC adds a "Jungle Achievements" list to Dave's smartphone, tracking DLC-specific milestones separately from anything Steam sees. Clearing every entry rewards a house decoration item, so it functions as its own completionist target, just entirely disconnected from Steam Hunters or your Steam completion percentage.

Collectibles and objectives exist throughout the jungle DLC's world; they simply don't feed into the Steam achievement system the way the base game's content does.

Common mistakes

Assuming your achievement tracker is broken. If you've finished jungle DLC content and your Steam achievement count hasn't changed, that's the correct, expected result, not a sync issue worth troubleshooting.

Confusing DLC completion with achievement completion. You can finish every jungle DLC chapter, max every villager, and recruit every staff member without a single achievement popping. Full playthrough completion and Steam achievement completion are separate things here.

Expecting this to be a base-game issue. The base game's 43 achievements work normally and are unrelated to the DLC's separate zero-achievement status. If you're missing base-game achievements, that's a different (and legitimately trackable) list.

Searching Steam's achievement page for jungle-specific entries. There's nothing to find there. Every achievement listed against Dave the Diver on Steam belongs to the base game; the DLC simply doesn't add to that list, so scrolling through it looking for jungle-themed entries is time you won't get back. If you want a jungle-specific completion goal, the villager friendship system and staff roster are the closest equivalents the DLC actually offers, even without a Steam achievement to show for finishing either one.

Waiting for a future patch to retroactively add jungle achievements. It's a reasonable hope given how much content the DLC actually shipped with, but there's no announced plan for it, and the stated reason, protecting existing players' 100% completion, is the kind of decision that doesn't tend to reverse quietly once a game's community has settled into it. Don't put off other completion goals expecting this one to resolve itself later.
