Fracture Point Sweat and Blood Achievement: How to Beat Medium Difficulty
The Fracture Point Sweat and Blood achievement unlocks when you finish the game on medium difficulty. See the unlock rate, EXP value, and tips.
Fracture Point keeps its achievement list tight at 18 unlocks, and the Fracture Point Sweat and Blood achievement is the entry that asks for a full clear on medium difficulty. That matters because it is one of only three difficulty-based achievements in the game, which puts it directly in the path of any 100% run. It is also rarer than you might expect — tracked data places it below the easy-mode completion. This guide covers the exact requirement, the dated unlock rate, the EXP it is worth, and a practical plan that does not assume the difficulty achievements stack.
What the Sweat and Blood Achievement Requires in Fracture Point
The achievement is listed as "Sweat and blood," and the requirement is a single line: complete the game on medium difficulty. There is no secondary condition, no collectible count, and no modifier to toggle. Finish a full run with medium selected, and the unlock fires.
Two related achievements frame it. "The Long Road" covers an Easy completion, and "A Living Legend" covers Hardcore. Together they make difficulty the spine of the list, which means your choice at the start of a run decides how much of the achievement list is reachable at all.
The EXP math makes this one of the heavier entries. Exophase lists 6,148 obtainable EXP across Fracture Point's 18 achievements, and Sweat and blood carries 1,110 of it — the largest single value on that page, ahead of The Long Road (926) and Tin Can (617).

The same snapshot records 339 achievements earned across tracked profiles, 46 players tracked, 18 total achievements, 6,148 obtainable EXP, and 0 players in the site's 100% club. The page itself was published on 2026-09-14 and captured for this article on 2026-09-23. Because the sample is small, read those percentages as directional rather than as a platform-wide completion rate.

How to Unlock Sweat and Blood Efficiently
A medium-difficulty run should be your "everything else" run, because most of the list overlaps with it. Here is how to structure it.
- Select medium for the Sweat and blood condition. Steam lists that achievement for completing the game on medium. Whether that clear also unlocks Easy or Hardcore completion achievements is not established by the listed conditions.
- Treat difficulty-achievement stacking as unverified. Steam lists Easy, medium, and Hardcore completion conditions separately but does not state whether a higher-difficulty clear also unlocks lower-difficulty achievements. Third-party unlock-rate snapshots do not establish that rule, so do not estimate a fixed run count without current in-game or developer evidence.
- Sweep the progression achievements in the same run. High unlock rates suggest most tracked players earn Find a place to live, Cash Out, Die Hard, Gambling starts now, and New Life Begins simply by playing. A full medium run should clear them without detours.
- Save the grinds for after the credits. Sodaholic (50 vending machine drinks), Electricity is included in the rent! (maximum graphics cards in the mining rig), The Horror of the Night (200 kills), and Treasure Dealer ($15,000 in loot) are all repeatable tasks you can finish once the story is done.
- Set aside one fast floor for Speedrun. Completing a floor in under a minute sits at 41.30%, so it is achievable but not automatic — pick a short, familiar floor and run it clean.
Reading the Numbers: Scope, Caveats, and Live Sources
Every figure above comes from one dated source. Exophase tracked 46 players at the time of capture, which is a small enough pool that a handful of completions can shift a percentage by several points. The two rows sitting at 0.00% — A Living Legend and Next time will be the charm — are the clearest reminder of that: either the sample is too small or tracked players simply are not hitting those conditions yet.
For a wider view, Steam's Global Achievements panel, linked from the Fracture Point community hub, shows platform-wide unlock percentages that update as more players finish the game. The same hub has an Achievements category where players publish their own walkthroughs, which is a good place to compare community reports against the numbers here. If you want the game itself, start with Fracture Point on the official Steam store page.
