[Google Play] MaskGun: FPS Shooting Gun Game - Broken Achievement ("Veteran") / Suspicious Unlock (freeGidna)

[Kobi Kaufman]

Hello Exophase team,

I would like to report a broken/unobtainable achievement in the Google Play game "MaskGun: FPS Shooting Gun Game" and request a review of the only player who has unlocked it.

Game Link: https://exophase.com
Achievement: "Veteran" (Reach Level 25)
Reported User: freeGidna

Details & Proof:
1. The "Veteran" achievement requires reaching Level 25, yet out of 4,567 tracked players, only a single user (freeGidna) has unlocked it (0.02%), and the 100% club is at 0.

2. In-game, the achievement tracking is completely broken by the developers. I have personally reached Level 26 on an official Android device with a stable connection, and my Google Play progress is stuck at 16% (4/25 steps). Reaching Level 25 only incremented the counter by 1 step (+4%), meaning it would theoretically require reaching Level 625 (which does not exist) to unlock legitimately.

3. Because the achievement is technically unobtainable through normal gameplay due to a developer bug, the unlock by "freeGidna" (dated June 22, 2025) appears to be illegitimate / hacked.

I have attached screenshots showing my in-game profile at Level 26 alongside my Google Play achievement progress stuck at 16%.

And the game support is not responding a few weeks by now..

Please review this unlock and mark the achievement as unobtainable so none will have to suffer as i did if confirmed. And thank you!

Pleasantly surprised. A solid report.

Now, let’s rub some salt into those old, painful memories. Right from the start, I didn’t get the achievement for my first kill. I deleted the game (from Google Play) and started over. I checked the list of recent players who had earned that achievement and realized it was broken. As I leveled up, I noticed that it didn’t always get the percentage increase upon leveling. I started testing and figured out the issue was with the "link" (account connection/sync). Whenever I watched an ad, the link would almost always drop, forcing me to log back in. Sometimes, the link would drop after just a few matches—log in again, and again, AND AGAIN. I ended up deleting the game a second time, constantly checking to see if the link was still active. Transitioning to TIER3 was absolute hell—I had to watch hundreds of ads just to get that 2.5x XP boost.
And now, Kobi, are you trying to steal this precious achievement from me? Forget it! And one more thing—there’s a "report" button; ever seen that? You could have also sent a private message to the administration. Did that option not suit you either?
Technically, this achievement is supposed to be awarded upon reaching Tier 3 (i.e., level 31–32). Yet, even with the most meticulous tracking, I didn’t unlock it until level 33. Now, kobi, why don’t you experience this whole path of suffering and torment for yourself? Play at least 1,000 matches, constantly check the link to the Google service, constantly check whether the percentage changes after leveling up, and then try to report again. Have a good day, sir—and thanks for the salt.

Hey freeGidna,

Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this in detail and share your screenshots. Looking at what you went through—tracking the Google Play link after every match and grinding all the way to Level 33 because of the sync drops—I completely understand why you reacted that way, and I genuinely apologize for jumping to conclusions and accusing you publicly.

I had the exact same sync-drop issue stuck at 16% at Level 26 and thought the achievement was completely unobtainable. Knowing now that it's an incremental 25-level-up counter that drops its link after ads/matches actually solves the mystery for me.

Huge respect for your dedication and for figuring out how to get it legitimately. I will ask the moderators to close this thread. And good luck with your future hunts!
