Plague Inc: Evolved – Fake News Scenario 100% Achievement Guide

If you read the description you know what is going on. If not, I will be giving you a quick guide to getting all the new Plague Inc. Evolved achievements. With that out of the way, let’s begin.

You might want to just win before you go achievement hunting. I gotcha covered. Overall this is an easy scenario; it utilizes the same mechanics as the board game scenario actually. Well, almost the same(we’ll get to that). This means you get to choose modifiers that cost zero at the beginning of the game. This will be you manifesto.

There are multiple factors concerning your fake news manifesto. Such as what is it concerning?
_____________ Also, who started the fake news in the first place?
Why is it being started?
Who is it targeting?

NOTE: Anything underlined and in parenthesis are excusive coments directed towards Mega
Brutal.

After you have chosen the contents of your manifesto, now you can begin infecting/ deceiving people. This is a unique scenario concerning the way you infect people. The world’s population starts as grey and uninformed. Anyone infected will turn red and deceived. However, people will naturally become informed -faster then people will become infected- (especially on Mega Brutal) and turn blue. So the progress bar at the bottom of the screen should seem as if a red v blue struggle is happening. It does not really matter what your manifesto is concerned with(you need want a manifesto with high virality and plausibility in order to spread quickly).

Choose whatever country you want(choose India or China). Immediately collect the red DNA bubble from that country. It will give you 1 DNA. Go to the growth upgrades. Use the DNA to evolve word of mouth and wait until an orange bubble appears. Pop it and then evolve the internet plus memes. (Be forewarned this will cause multiple red bubbles to pop up. Pausing the game to collect and access is encouraged).
Play normally until you get a notification about your fake news spreading to new countries. Collect all the red bubbles that appeared and evolve bot: network I and II, viral chat messages, influencers, and out of context. This set up is perfect for all difficulties. Next depends on whether you want a short game or a long game. Assuming you want a quickie, evolve: tv targeting, talk show, buy a tv network, and buy a newspaper.
The final steps are easy, just keep evolving plausibility traits until you have around 1 billion deceived (or the cure nears 50%). Then head over to the adaptability tab and put all your future DNA into expand victim list and all succeeding traits.GG.

Sadly there is no recognition for beating Mega Brutal besides Golden Biohazards.

DISCLAIMER: UNLIKE THE BOARD GAMES SCENARIO, YOUR FAKE NEWS HAS TO REACH A CERTAIN COUNTRY BEFORE YOU WILL RECEIVE THE ACHIEVEMENT. THE GAME WILL LET YOU KNOW BY SAYING, “THE MANIFESTO FOR _____ FAKE NEWS IS REALLY RESONATING WITH SOME SECTIONS OF SOCIETY. INCREASE IN VIRALITY, PLAUSIBILITY, AND/OR COMMUNTITY.”
