Achievement Guide and Road Map

[miedzianek]

'Note: Completed missions will receive a green check on the map, which makes it very easy to track down the ones you haven't done yet.'


Nope,they just disappear from map,so change this

Also for Perfectionist-100% locations counts toward this achievment

Fixed, thanks.

'Note: Like faction missions, completed challenges will receive a check, making it very easy to track down remaining challenges.'

Also change this


For kiling frenzy-there is a mission for Ular Boys where you must cover the Temple.There are 3 waves of enemy,each ~6+2 in cars.Very easy

[geordiedeviant]

I only got the game today..but to help with your drive them all...on the minimap I could swear that vehicles I hadn't driven were highlighted and orange. Hopefully this is correct as it's going to be a ball ache finding them all if not.

[DarkCrown]

I think i'll start on hardcore and trying getting the difficulty achievemnet right away , then start a new game on easy to do everything else

[NameTaken69]

For people struggling with the Parachute Climber achievement there is a much easier way to do it.. [credit goes to another member here, I just can't remember who posted it]

Start a mission and pause and go to abort mission.. but just before you do that, grapple and open your parachute.. when you respawn at your nearest stronghold the achievement should unlock. Someone mentioned it has to be a stronghold higher then the mission you were doing but I just did it on a random mission and didn't pay any attention to where I was and it still unlocked.

Also, to save you some work, there is no need for you to make a list of the vehicles.. unless you are planning on adding where you found them. For anyone that doesn't know, go to your map and push the RT and go to vehicles. It lists them all and has a green check mark for all the ones you have used.

Great guide dude!

[cra]

stunt flyer works with rivers too, got the timer while doing the bridge limbo. btw bridge limbo is cumulative like in GTA if you do them outside of a mission

[Heart Break Cid]

I got the "Killing Frenzy" achievement on the mission with "The White Tiger" and the minigun, just run slightly ahead of him and mow everything down!

Going to add both of your suggestions to the guide.
About the vehicles... I think it'll be a pain to find them all, aswell as making a 'location' guide for them... I'm gonna make work of the achievement and see how hard/easy they are to find.

I'll adjust it, thanks. I had the impression it didn't work on water after flying over it for quite some time, maybe I was a bit too high. :-)

Thanks, I'll add the mission to the guide after checking it out myself.

I checked this and so far, I only found military vehicles driving around as being the orange spot. Effectively turning red when I 'whipped' them with my grappling hook.

I really hoped you were right on this one.

[rrushn]

added more videos (thanks mistical!), updated some achievement descriptions.

Everything should be more or less clear as to how to achieve, but it still needs some refining.
Formatting the guide will be the last thing I'll do. I'm not native English, so it is quite a pain to get everything in the right formulation. ;-)

Stay tuned !

[JSMOKA22]

Amazing Guide for just coming out. Refine it and it could be 1 of the best this year. I understood all the explanations 4 the achvmnts with out reading em twice. Great job

[jason g]

after u complete the story, can u go back and get any of the other achievements?

im only asking as im thinking of going through on the hardest setting first and then maybe get some of the ones i missed like drive all cars for example.

[Dizzy Domes]

I have a quick method for "Road Rage". Go to Panau International Airport (X: 9748 Y:12798) at the northern corner of the airport. You'll see a helicopter pad with red and white barriers in front of them. Call in a heavy vehicle, I used the pre-order monster truck because it's really wide. If you haven't been spotted yet, go to the hangar at the farthest norther corner to get a wanted level. I always saw soldiers in there. Now just face the barriers and two soldiers should run out. Run them over then reverse back about 50-60 feet and two more should run out. Rinse and repeat.

I found this out while driving around the airport going for road rage kills. And got my last 20 very quickly. I came back later to see if I could re-create it and it happened again.

Also the achievement tile for "Follow Me!" is wrong.

Great guide!

Yes, but as far as I know, you can't switch difficulty in a playthrough. I'm silently hoping you can when switching to mercenary mode (which occurs after finishing the storyline) but I'm not to that point yet. I've been messing around with other things to get this guide finished asap.

I'll check this out tomorrow, going to bed now !

I found the best way to eliminate Colonels is to use the rocket launcher. It's a one hit kill and usually it will kill him and the five guards standing with him. This is especially useful in the Panau city sections as you can just shoot them from the rooftops and then hide or parachute away really fast.

A good spot to do the wrecking ball is on a mission when you are supposed to take down a statue of Baby Panay. Right next to the statue is a transport chopper, so just grapple the statue's head to the chopper and pull the head off. Then use it as a wrecking ball....

[Daiphyer.]

I think 5 is a little too low. 7 was deserving because of the time-consuming and difficulty achievements. I'm playing on experienced and honestly it's hard.

[sepulturas666]

6/10 is about right for this game (just beat it on hardcore, a lot of annoying moments later). Also i think this game will take way more than 40-50hrs for 1k.

@rrushn - great guide man.

[SlySi1976]

thx so much for this guide it has helped me a lot

[Colt Smith]

Invincible Warrior

I found out a really easy way to do it just right at the first Mission.

First start a new Game on Casual, now play until you come to the part where you have to take out 2 SAMS/Anti-AirGuns.

Do not use the Helicopter yet*, instead grapplehook to the Statue and
pull out your Pistol (having a SMG as Second Weapon is helpfull).

(*The Soldiers keeping on spawing until you finish the Mission via Chopper!)

Now stand a little bit back so Soldiers can´t hit you, but you can Headshot them from above.

If you lose Health wait a little bit behind the Statue until your back to 100%!

And take out the Armored Vehicle with a Minigunas first with some C4,you dont want to get hit from that,even on Casual.

est. Time for Achievement: 15-20min!


P.S. Sry, for the bad english, but i hope you all understand it!

Added the rocket launcher info, will check out the wrecking ball method later today, I've got a couple of suggestions and ideas to test for this.

Awesome, I'll add this one, along with the airport trick, thanks !

Road Map is still pending for the most part. I'm yet to start on hardcore, finished it and doing everything on experienced atm to finalize the achievement guide.

Thanks ! I've noticed that it will take a tad more than 50 to complete, 75% completion involves alot more than I initially thought !

[rrushn]

The guide is shaping up nicely, I formatted a fair bit already, and there's only 2 achievements that need some more love:
- A whereabouts guide for 'Trying Everything Once'
- A decent, easy way to obtain 'Wrecking Ball'

I have several solutions I'll be testing soon for the latter, so here's hoping it's only the first left and I'll consider this guide pretty much final.

i don't mean about changing difficulty during the game, i meant are there achievements u cannot get once the story is finished, like certain kills or the 1000 sabotages for example?
