Achievements
Diablo 4 has 45 achievements on Steam, and the rarest are Echoing Elites and Adept Angler, each held by 0.2% of players on Nov 12, 2026. Steam's counts also show that 36.7% of players have finished the campaign, 24.1% Vessel of Hatred's and 14.6% Lord of Hatred's.
Diablo 4 has 45 achievements on Steam, and the rarest two are Echoing Elites (kill 1,000 Bosses or Elites in Echoing Hatred) and Adept Angler (collect all the fish in one region), each held by 0.2% of the game's Steam players on Nov 12, 2026. The most common, Legion Killer, is held by 70.8%. The clip is IGN's reviewer on the mode behind the rarest one, "effectively a horde mode" that you enter only with a rare drop, which is why so few players have its achievement. Every figure on this page is Steam's own count of Diablo 4 owners on Steam, read that day; it says nothing about Battle.net or console players.
Next: how to get into the mode behind the rarest achievement, what Torment IV and Torment XII ask of a character or which class to play for its achievement.
What the counts say about players
Steam shows the share of owners who hold each achievement, to one decimal. Set side by side, the 45 numbers measure how far players get.
Campaigns. 36.7% have completed the base campaign (Emancipation), 24.1% Vessel of Hatred's (Hatred Subdued) and 14.6% Lord of Hatred's (Hatred Banished). These are shares of everyone who owns Diablo 4 on Steam, with or without the expansions, and a character may skip a campaign once the account has finished it, so they are floors, not completion rates. One comparison is ours to make: 16.7% have killed 666 of Skovos's Golems, Merfolk or Morlu (Skovos Slayer), more than have finished the story set there.
Leveling. 50.6% have reached level 50 with any character, 22.1% Paragon 200 and 1.5% Paragon 300. Almost half of the players who own the game on Steam have never taken a character to level 50, twenty short of the present cap of 70 (Leveling Guide).
Endgame. Each step loses players, and the last two lose most of them:
| Step | Achievement | Steam players |
|---|---|---|
| A Nightmare Dungeon in Torment 2 or higher | Living Nightmares | 29.8% |
| Defeat the Echo of Lilith | End of the First Mother | 19.0% |
| Complete 10 War Plans | Prepared to Fight | 10.7% |
| 1,000 Elites on Torment IV | Tormented Massacre | 10.4% |
| 1,000 Elites in Torment XII | Tormented Slaughter | 2.6% |
| 1,000 Bosses or Elites in Echoing Hatred | Echoing Elites | 0.2% |
Hardcore and PvP. 2.0% have a Hardcore character at level 50 (True Perseverance) and 1.5% have five PvP kills (Master Combatant): both are rarer than a thousand Elite kills on the hardest Torment level.
The class achievements
Seven of the eight classes have an achievement of their own. The Paladin, added on Dec 11, 2025, has none on Steam's list. The Warlock's is our reading: Demonic Dispute names no class, but Demonology is one of the Warlock's five pillars.
| Class | Achievement | What it takes | Steam players |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sorcerer | Master of the Elements | Kill 100 enemies with Fire, Frost or Lightning damage | 38.3% |
| Rogue | In and Out | Kill 50 enemies in melee range and 50 out of it | 28.4% |
| Necromancer | Army of Bones | Summon 100 Skeleton Mages or Warriors | 26.2% |
| Barbarian | Hammer Down | Kill 50 enemies while Berserking | 23.5% |
| Warlock | Demonic Dispute | Kill 100 enemies with Demonology skills | 17.5% |
| Druid | Shifty Swipes | Kill 50 enemies in Werebear form and 50 in Werewolf form | 14.3% |
| Spiritborn | Spirited Sparring | Kill 500 enemies with Ultimate skills | 12.1% |
Most can be done early on a new character of that class; the Spiritborn's asks the most, an Ultimate skill and 500 kills with it. Read as a rough measure of which classes Steam players have tried, the table puts the Sorcerer far ahead and the Druid last of the five launch classes; the Warlock, in a paid expansion that is six and a half months old, is already ahead of the Druid. The tasks differ, so this is a hint, not a census.

| Adept Angler | Collect all the fish in one region | 0.2% |
| Echoing Elites | Kill 1000 Bosses/Elites in the Echoing Hatred | 0.2% |
The wording in the middle column is Steam's. The three rarest all came with Lord of Hatred on Apr 28, 2026: Echoing Hatred, the fishing collection and exploring all of Skovos. The oddest gap is between two that sound alike: 7.0% have explored all of Estuar and 4.5% all of Nahantu, but only 0.3% all of Skovos.
What we think
We think Echoing Elites tells more about the game than any other line here: Blizzard built an endgame mode that one Steam player in 500 has fought a thousand enemies in, because the key to it cannot be earned on purpose (Trace of Echoes).
We think the Amazon gets a class achievement on Steam when her Class Pack comes out, taking the list from 45 to 46 or more, while the Paladin still has none.
Confidence: Possible. Check by: Jun 2027.
Why we think so: the Spiritborn and the Warlock, the classes that launched with an expansion, each have one, and the Paladin, who arrived more than four months before Lord of Hatred as a pre-purchase reward, is the only class without. A class sold alone is closer to the first case than the second, but Blizzard has never sold one that way, which is why we stop at Possible.
What would prove us wrong: Steam's list on Jun 30, 2027 with the Amazon playable and no achievement naming her or her skills, or a Paladin achievement added before then.

Leveling GuideDiablo 4's level cap is 70 for every player since Lord of Hatred's launch on Apr 27, 2026, up from 60 with Vessel of Hatred and 50 at launch; after 70, Paragon points keep a character growing. The fastest experience comes from higher difficulties, whose Torment bonuses reach 1,700% at Torment XII, and from War Plans and the Pit.
