Overview:

-Estimated achievement difficulty: 3

-Offline: 50 [1000:gsicon:]

-Online: 0 [0:gsicon:]

-Approximate amount of time to 1000: 26 hours total (20 hours campaign, 6 hours co-op)

-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1

-Missable achievements: Unheard , Fully Inked

-Does difficulty affect achievements?: No

-Glitched achievements: People are reporting issues with the Co-op achievements popping. I have not had any problem personally on 2 accounts. Make sure you play through each chapter from the start menu to completion each time.

-Unobtainable achievements: None

 

Roadmap:

 

Playthrough #1: This is an open world game so you can do what you want when you want. 1000ing this game will still leave a LOT of world left to explore.

Co-Op Campaign: Play through the Co-op story mode either online or local for those 6 achievements.

 

 

EQUIPMENT

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f+v0zu.jpgAftermarket Junkie - 20:gsicon: Buy all attachments and paint jobs for one weapon.

The opening pistol, the 1911, is a required buy at $60 at the start of the game. It has no attachments so you only need to buy 6 camos at $200 each for a total of $1200 for the achievements to unlock.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_T062PtuFY]Far Cry 3 - Aftermarket Junkie - Achievement/Trophy Guide - HD - YouTube[/ame]

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f6-V+E.jpgArtsy Craftsy - 10:gsicon: Craft 5 upgrades for your equipment.

You can get this for crafting the pouches and items you need to hold items. You will need to look up a recipe in the Crafting menu to see what hides you need. Then look at the map and look for the icon that equals that animal. Go to that area and hunt down the animal. You can use the camera to mark them for easier tracking. The achievement will pop as soon as you craft your fifth item.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f5B9wc.jpgHeartless Pyro - 10:gsicon: Kill 50 enemies with the flamethrower (Single Player only).

The Flamethrower costs $2400 and it is under Specials in the store. I would recommend spending the $250 on the larger fuel tank expansion. Be careful with the flamethrower as you can easily light yourself on fire.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f9oype.jpgImproper Use - 5:gsicon: Kill an enemy with the Repair Tool (Single Player only).

The Repair Tool costs $400 and it is under Specials in the store. Then use it on an enemy. It will light them on fire and they will eventually die.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NepGBcTf_s]Far Cry 3 - Improper Use - Achievement/Trophy Guide - HD - YouTube[/ame]

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f69RQm.jpgMoney to Burn - 15:gsicon: Spend $5000 at the shop.

This is cumulative. You do NOT need to save it all up and spend it once. As soon as you've spent a total of $5000 it will unlock.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f-bI1h.jpgNeedle Exchange - 15:gsicon: Craft 25 syringes.

Syringes are made in the Crafting Menu using plant materials you have found in the world. The plants all show up on the mini-map and re-spawn when you leave and re-enter an area so making and using 25 syringes is VERY simple.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f45ySP.jpgThe Good Stuff - 15:gsicon: Craft a special syringe.

For this you must first collect 30 Relics. These show up as white vases on the map. Once you have 30 you will unlock a new category under Syringes called Specials. The first one, Untouchable, costs 5 green, 5 blue, and 2 white. Craft it for the achievement.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f8SdR4.jpgToxophilite - 10:gsicon: Kill a target from 70m or more with the bow (Single Player only).

The Recurve Bow costs $925 and it is under Specials in the store. I would suggest doing this on a Outpost or Wanted enemy. If you set a waypoint via the map on the enemies location then you will see your distance to target in the bottom left of the main HUD.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ-awd-2wtI]Far Cry 3 - Toxophilite - Achievement/Trophy Guide - HD - YouTube[/ame]

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f43FYx.jpgLove the Boom - 10:gsicon: Kill 4 enemies simultaneously with one explosion (Single Player only).

Easiest way to do this is to go to a Outpost and let them trigger the alarm. This will bring reinforcements in cars. Wait for one with 4 people in it and BOOM, achievement is unlocked.

(TIP CREDIT: PONYPO2001) If you have problems unlocking this with the RPG some people have had success with grenades.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbrIrfO_DYQ]Far Cry 3 - Love The Boom - Achievement/Trophy Guide - HD - YouTube[/ame]

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f9qSzr.jpgRock Always Wins - 10:gsicon: Fully distract 25 enemies with rocks (Single Player only).

You throw rocks by pressing Right on the D-Pad. The enemy must not be currently in an alarmed state. You can also NOT kill them. You need to throw the rock, let them investigate, and then fully reset. That counts as 1. You can do this 25 times in a row.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uR-iGfG8L8]Far Cry 3 - Rocks Always Wins - Achievement/Trophy Guide - HD - YouTube[/ame]

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f8rXxH.jpgIsland Paparazzi - 15:gsicon: Tag 25 enemies using the camera (Single Player only).

You bring out the camera by pressing up on the D-Pad. Then you will see skulls above the NPCs to show you have tagged them. Just pull it out whenever you get to a Outpost or WANTED Dead quest and it will unlock very quickly.

 

 

OUTPOSTS

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f9fr3I.jpgRebel With a Cause - 10:gsicon: Liberate 3 outposts.

To "Liberate" an Outpost is to simply go in and kill all the enemies. Once everyone is dead, the flag will change and it will move to your possession. Doing so unlocks new quests in the area.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f8lg75.jpgIsland Liberator - 40:gsicon: Liberate all outposts.

There are a total of 34 Outposts.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f7HacX.jpgUnheard - 20:gsicon: Liberate an outpost without triggering an alarm.

The opening mission Outpost does not count so head to any other Outpost on the map. Getting the Bow or a Silencer for a weapon will greatly help on this achievement. Most of the Outposts are VERY small. 4 or 5 enemies tops.

The first one is for killing 5 rabid dogs with a shotgun. When you get to the area be sure to check the mini-map as the hunting area will show up as a greyed out section. Kill all the animals with the required gun and the achievement will be yours.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/865/5+f7Fey1.jpgIn Cold Blood - 10:gsicon: Complete a WANTED Dead quest.

WANTED Dead quests require you to go to a specific area and kill a commander NPC with the knife. Using a takedown is the easiest way to accomplish this and is the first upgrade you should get. You can either run and gun into the area taking out the guards first and then running in for the takedown or stealth in and get the takedown immediately. Use whichever play style you desire.

Note that even if you reach the score requirement you still need to finish the challenge alive for the score to count.

Why didn't you just pull the achievement tiles from your profile on Xbox.com? They're all blank and it looks like shit, sorry to say.

 

Pretty sure I got 'Never Saw it Coming' when I jumped off a shipping container (located in some of the outposts). You must also have the skill, otherwise you will be falling to your death, or maybe a little scratch.

 

Oh as well, you can miss an achievement. How do you liberate an outpost without triggering the alarm if you have captured all of the outposts? ;)

Unfortunately those are the tiles here on x360a which are the ones we are supposed to use. Hopefully they update it.

 

Technically you can start a new game and then do Unheard then, it but I will update it.

-Missable achievements: None - Open World (If you capture all Outposts without getting Unheard, you would need to start a New Game to acquire)

 

wouldn't that mean there IS missable achievement then?:p

 

 

Good guide,and up very fast....I am sure i will be using this in the incoming weeks

 

Keep up the good work

You should be fine with using the Xbox pictures, but if you ever submit the guide it might be an issue.

 

Anyway, nice work :)

Yeah, if the site here doesn't upload soon I will. Don't know what the deal is.

 

As far as I know it's a problem with uploading the https files onto this server, since that is what xbox.com uses now. So basically, when you upload the images from xbox.com you will need to remove the s at the end of the http in the image to get it to work properly.

I was hoping at least this game would be worth playing for more than 30 hours unlike Hitman but no..

It's more along the lines of personal preference. The OP, from what I can gather, has not completed the game yet, thus making the 16 hour campaign time unconfirmed. Regardless, it will never be 100% because no two people will play the same way.

 

:p

Great guide so far!

 

Just thought I would add that I believe the achievement ''Fully Inked'' is also missable. The reason being that some skills have criteria to make them unlockable. One of them has the criteria to take two outposts without being detected. To get unheard you only need one, so would in fact need another one to get all skills. Would be a pain to have to start a new game to re-earn ALL skills if you missed it.

 

Also off-topic but iBuzz7S's comment is rather rude =/ Especially from a mod. To say part of a guide ''looks like shit'' when it has only just begun? And due to an error with the site note the TC =/
