Far Cry 5 Trophy Roadmap

EARLY GAME

Welcome to Hope County, Montana, where the scenery is beautiful, the locals are heavily armed, and a doomsday cult has somehow taken over nearly everything. You'll play as a rookie deputy attempting to dismantle Joseph Seed's Project at Eden's Gate, one region at a time. Fortunately, Far Cry 5 offers a fairly straightforward Platinum, requiring just one campaign playthrough with no difficulty-related or permanently missable trophies. However, you'll also need access to Far Cry Arcade and a co-op partner, so this isn't an entirely offline adventure.

Before diving too deeply into the campaign, check that Far Cry Arcade's online features are accessible. You'll eventually need to win 10 featured multiplayer maps for ARCADE Competitor, earn 100 multiplayer kills for ARCADE Hunter, reach Arcade Level 20, complete 10 featured solo or co-op maps, and finish five Arcade Hero maps. You'll also need to complete three campaign quests with a friend for Hitting it Off. Online matchmaking and progress tracking can occasionally cause problems, so confirming these features work early is a good idea. You don't need to finish all the Arcade trophies immediately, but discovering a connection problem after completing the entire campaign would be a particularly unpleasant surprise.

Once you've liberated Dutch's Island, you'll be free to explore Hope County's three main regions in almost any order. Begin recruiting Guns for Hire, liberating cult outposts, and completing Prepper Stashes for valuable perk points. Prioritize useful perks such as Grapple, Parachute, Wingsuit, Additional Holster, and Weapons Collector. You'll also want Fisher King for the fishing trophies and Saboteur for Explosive Surprise. Make a habit of talking to civilians, completing challenges, and looting useful supplies. Apparently, dismantling a heavily armed cult requires more preparation than the average police training program.

MID GAME

As you explore John, Faith, and Jacob Seed's territories, complete story missions, destroy cult property, and build resistance in each region. Filling a region's resistance meter triggers important story events and eventually leads to a confrontation with its leader. You'll earn several trophies naturally while rescuing your fellow deputies and dismantling the cult's operations. Complete missions involving Nick Rye, Peaches, and Larry Parker as you encounter them, since their questlines contribute to additional trophies. Larry's four missions are particularly important for Science Fact, which has reported unlocking issues, so consider keeping a backup save before starting his questline.

Start working on collectibles and side activities while traveling between objectives. Pack Rat requires just one item from each of the six collectible categories: Vietnam Lighters, Comic Books, Whiskey Casks, Baseball Cards, Cheeseburger Bobbleheads, and Vinyl Crates. You'll also need to complete three Prepper Stashes, three side missions, and one Clutch Nixon stunt in each of the three main regions. For Troublemaker, destroy at least one piece of cult property in Dutch's Island and each of the three main regions. These activities provide perk points, money, and resistance progress, so completing them as you explore will considerably reduce your cleanup later.

Don't neglect hunting and fishing. Been There, Done That requires completing all hunting and fishing challenges, involving 16 animal species and 12 fish species. Animals must be skinned to count toward the hunting challenges, so avoid using explosives or fire when hunting. Hope County Master Angler requires obtaining all four fishing rods, including Old Betsy, which demands beating every county fishing record. Start working toward the fishing records whenever you reach a Hard fishing spot, and purchase the Fisher King perk to make the process easier. Between hunting bears, catching enormous fish, and fighting religious extremists, Ajay from Far Cry 4 might actually have had the more relaxing vacation.

LATE GAME

As you approach the end of the campaign, finish liberating the three regions and confronting the Seed family. Most story trophies unlock naturally, but pay attention to the final confrontation with Joseph Seed. When presented with the choice to Resist or Walk Away, choose Resist to complete the required ending and unlock Together Forever. If you choose Walk Away instead, you can replay the final mission and select Resist afterward. You can also return to free roam after completing the story, so there's no need to finish every optional objective before the finale.

By this point, you should have enough equipment and perks to tackle the more specialized combat trophies. Work toward 25 vehicle kills for Road Gunner, 20 roadkills for Squash and Run, 25 close-combat takedowns for Close and Personal, and five kills with sabotaged vehicles for Explosive Surprise. Recruit Hurk and have him destroy 15 vehicles for The Hurk Locker. You'll also need to destroy 10 planes while piloting an aircraft for Ace Killer and destroy four vehicles with a single plane bomb for Death From Above. These two aircraft trophies can be simplified using vehicles spawned from garages, so there's no need to spend hours chasing cult pilots around the sky.

Before finishing your single-player cleanup, return to the fishing challenges and Arena-style activities if you still need progress. Catch and sell 20 fish for Fish Market, finish the hunting challenges, and obtain the Wonderboy Fishing Rod through Skylar's questline. Afterward, tackle the Hard fishing spots to beat all 12 records needed for Old Betsy. Make sure to visit a fishing record board after breaking the final record to trigger Hope County Master Angler. You should also be accumulating perk points through challenges and Prepper Stashes, making Survivalist's requirement of purchasing 25 perks relatively manageable. Nothing says you're winning the war against a dangerous cult quite like spending several hours trying to catch a slightly heavier trout.

TROPHY CLEANUP AND EXTRA TIPS

After completing the campaign, use free roam to finish any remaining miscellaneous trophies. Purchase three vehicles for Stocked Garage, spend $50,000 at vehicle shops for Big Spender, buy $1,000 worth of clothing for Fashion First, and purchase every attachment for one weapon for Locked and Loaded. The Compound Bow is a relatively inexpensive choice for the latter because it only requires two attachments. For Ghost Kill, use a scoped rifle to land a headshot from more than 150 meters away. If you've already liberated every outpost and need additional enemies, use Outpost Master to restore hostile locations. You can also complete any remaining combat, crafting, and hunting challenges while earning money and perk points.

Next, finish the cooperative and Arcade requirements. For Hitting it Off, invite a friend into your campaign and complete three quests together. Prepper Stashes and outpost liberations can count, so you don't necessarily need to save three major story missions. In Arcade, complete five Arcade Hero maps, finish 10 featured solo or co-op maps, reach Level 20, and earn 100 kills against other players. ARCADE Competitor requires winning 10 matches on featured multiplayer maps, making it one of the more troublesome trophies because winning an ordinary match on a non-featured map won't count. Coordinate with other players if matchmaking is quiet. For ARCADE Enthusiast, exit after completing a featured map rather than selecting Replay, since repeated runs through that option may not register correctly.

Finally, check your trophy list for any unfinished challenges, particularly Been There, Done That, Hope County Master Angler, Big Spender, and the Arcade trophies. Remember that Far Cry 5 has no difficulty requirements, so you can complete the campaign on Easy if you prefer. Solo Campaign trophies should be earned while playing alone or hosting your own co-op session, since joining another player's campaign doesn't preserve your story progress. Once you've earned all 50 other base-game trophies, We Always Had Faith in You will unlock the Platinum. Congratulations! You've liberated Hope County, defeated the Seed family, mastered fishing, flown questionable aircraft, and somehow survived an entire county filled with armed cultists. Just another perfectly normal week in Montana.
