at the end of subverted missions you go to rescue your buddy, often they get hurt and are lieing on the ground wounded by the time you get there (esp at higher difficulties), It makes for an easy ...into the fire or goodnight sweet prince achievement, but I guess you could use your rescue buddy for these two achievements (may be a little difficult)

Other than that though, no, subverting missions only affects the 2 subvert all missions in the north/south achievements.

However, successfully subverting missions upgrades your safehouses (vehicles at all safehouses, Ammo piles, med kits, upgraded weapons on vehicles at safehouses - stuff like that)

Is it at all necessary to do the side missions that the buddies will ask of you at Mike's bar? You don't earn any diamonds from them upon completion, so.... Does anyone know? I've already gotten my 6/12 buddy missions and I'm getting ready to leave the north. Just wanted to make sure. Would hate to collect all diamonds and then find out that that is what screwed me out of getting that achievement even though it's only worth 10GS.

Nope. No Achievement. No Diamonds.

Yes, you can play on easy.

These achievements suck. Period. I'm thinking of setting goals for myself so the multiplayer achievements don't seem so overwhelming.

does it matter what difficulty you play campaign on? just picked this up, probably gonna give it a go tonight

That buddy achievement is beyond retarded and the description in the guide doesn't help. I've done every side mission in the game, so how the fuck am I supposed to know where these buddies are?

Looks like I'm gonna have to play through the game again...

Hey, New to forums and first time posting...

Just wanted to know whether the achievement would work in this scenario...

1st playthrough, I don't realize that there are region specific achievements and you can't go back, so I am in the South and I realize that I missed many.....I do all the Missions in the south and get the achievements.....If there are some achievements were you have to do things in both regions such as "The Third Faction", if I save all the buddies in the South and then re-start a new campaign, and save them all in the North does the achievements activate?

Thanks!

I am wondering if I could use 3 consoles and 3 copies to to boost all the online achievements. I only get to play about 2 nights a week and really cant schedule someone else's boosting setup. I can also work my network to make only my boxes in a match.
