Far Cry New Dawn Trophy Guide

Unlock Details

Complete the specialist mission Buzz Kill and recruit Grace Armstrong to Prosperity. Grace is a returning character from Far Cry 5 and one of the specialists who can help improve your settlement. You can begin recruiting her during Act 1. Travel to Grace's location at the abandoned railway yard and speak with her to begin Buzz Kill. Grace needs your help recovering materials and equipment from an area occupied by the Highwaymen. Step 1: Clear the Railway Yard Travel into the railway yard and eliminate the Highwaymen guarding the location. Use cover and a reliable weapon to deal with any enemies blocking your path. Once the area is secure, begin searching for Grace's missing supplies. Step 2: Recover the Materials You'll need to locate three bundles of materials scattered around the railway yard. Some are positioned in elevated or otherwise difficult-to-reach locations. Explore the train cars, nearby structures, and surrounding platforms to find them. Use available climbing routes to reach the supplies. Step 3: Return to Grace Once you've recovered all three bundles, return to Grace and complete the conversation. She'll agree to join Prosperity and help the settlement develop its weapons capabilities. The trophy unlocks after successfully completing the mission.

Tip

Recruit Grace early because she's one of the specialists available during Act 1. You'll need to recruit at least two specialists to progress the main campaign, so completing Buzz Kill helps satisfy that requirement. If you're struggling to locate the supplies, check elevated platforms and accessible railway structures rather than searching only at ground level.

Warning

A Graceful Return is tied to a specialist recruitment mission rather than the main campaign's mandatory mission sequence. You must complete Buzz Kill to unlock the trophy. It's also host-only, so complete Grace's recruitment mission in your own campaign. Grace survived the collapse of civilization and still wants to help manufacture better weapons. Some people really do remain committed to their profession.

Unlock Details

Kill 25 enemies using takedowns. Takedowns are close-range finishing moves that allow the Captain to eliminate Highwaymen without relying on conventional gunfire. They're particularly useful during stealth encounters, outpost liberations, and missions where you want to avoid alerting nearby enemies. For this trophy, you must perform a total of 25 successful takedown kills. You can use several takedown methods, including standard melee takedowns and aerial takedowns. The kills are cumulative and don't need to happen during a single mission or combat encounter. Step 1: Find Suitable Enemies The easiest way to begin is by targeting Rank I Highwaymen soldiers. These enemies are common throughout Hope County and are generally easier to eliminate quietly than higher-ranked soldiers. Good locations include: Rank I Highwaymen outposts. Enemy patrols along roads. Treasure Hunt locations guarded by Highwaymen. Early story missions. Expedition locations. Step 2: Approach an Enemy Move toward an enemy without being detected. Crouch to reduce noise and use vegetation, buildings, or other objects for cover. Approaching an enemy from behind is generally the safest method. Wait until you're close enough for the takedown prompt to appear. Step 3: Perform a Takedown Press R3 when the takedown prompt appears. The Captain will perform a close-range finishing move, instantly eliminating an eligible enemy. Repeat this process against additional soldiers. You can also perform aerial takedowns by jumping onto enemies from elevated positions and pressing R3 when prompted. Step 4: Reach 25 Takedown Kills Continue using takedowns until you've eliminated 25 enemies. The trophy unlocks when the required total has been registered. You can complete these kills throughout your entire campaign, so there's no need to farm them all at once.

Tip

Start working on this trophy early because low-rank soldiers are much easier to eliminate with basic takedowns. Purchase the higher-rank takedown perks as you progress so you can eliminate tougher enemies. Scavenging and recapturing outposts provides additional opportunities to perform takedowns. You can also work toward this trophy alongside Pure Ninja, which requires liberating a Rank III outpost without being detected. However, focus on weaker enemies when possible, as Elite Enforcers are considerably more difficult to eliminate quietly.

Warning

Only qualifying takedown kills count. Ordinary melee attacks, firearm kills, and explosives won't contribute. Some players have reported delayed trophy unlocking even after performing 25 takedowns. If the trophy doesn't unlock immediately, continue performing additional qualifying takedowns until it registers. You don't need to complete all 25 takedowns without being detected, and there's no requirement to use the same takedown animation every time. Apparently, the Captain has decided that ammunition is far too valuable to waste on every Highwayman. Sometimes a railroad spike and a little enthusiasm are all you need.

Unlock Details

Kill your first Enforcer. Enforcers are the most heavily armored soldiers employed by the Highwaymen. They're classified as Elite enemies and can be identified by their gold-colored health bars, reinforced helmets, and distinctive heavy combat equipment. Unlike ordinary Highwaymen soldiers, Enforcers have considerably more health and can withstand significant damage. They also carry powerful weapons, making them dangerous opponents during early encounters. For this trophy, you only need to eliminate one Enforcer. Step 1: Find an Enforcer Enforcers appear in several locations throughout the game. The most reliable methods include: Rank II Outposts When attacking a Rank II outpost, allow an enemy to activate an alarm. The Highwaymen may send an Enforcer as part of their reinforcements. Rank III Outposts Every Rank III outpost contains Elite Enforcers. This is the most reliable method because you won't need to depend on reinforcements arriving. Later Story Missions Enforcers appear naturally during several later campaign encounters. Higher-Rank Expeditions You can also encounter Enforcers during more difficult Expedition missions. Step 2: Prepare Your Equipment Before engaging an Enforcer, equip a powerful weapon. Rank III or Elite weapons are recommended because lower-ranked firearms may deal limited damage against heavily armored enemies. A light machine gun, assault rifle, or powerful sniper rifle can work well. Bring medkits and use cover to avoid sustained enemy fire. Step 3: Eliminate the Enforcer Once you've located an Enforcer, identify the enemy by their gold health bar. Aim for exposed areas or use piercing ammunition to deal with their armor. Keep moving and avoid remaining in the open while the Enforcer attacks. Continue firing until the enemy is defeated. The trophy unlocks immediately after your first Enforcer kill.

Tip

You'll naturally encounter numerous Enforcers while working toward All Your Bases, which requires liberating every outpost on Rank III. You can also combine this trophy with It's Super Effective! by landing a headshot with piercing ammunition before killing an Enforcer. If you're planning to complete Get to the Point, consider weakening an Enforcer and finishing them with a bayonet-equipped weapon instead. This allows you to work toward multiple trophies during the same encounter.

Warning

Ordinary Rank III soldiers don't count. You must kill an actual Elite Enforcer, identified by their gold health bar. Enforcers can absorb substantial damage, so don't attempt the fight with severely underpowered weapons unless you're prepared for a lengthy encounter. You only need to kill one Enforcer for this trophy. There are no special weapon or difficulty requirements. Apparently, the Highwaymen believed that covering a soldier in expensive armor would make them unstoppable. The Captain is about to conduct a practical demonstration of why that theory needs further research.

Unlock Details

Complete the specialist mission Deep Dive and recruit Selene to Prosperity. Selene is a specialist who can help improve Prosperity's medical facilities. You can recruit her during Act 1 by traveling to her marked location and beginning Deep Dive. During the mission, Selene asks you to recover valuable supplies from an abandoned missile silo. Unfortunately, the supplies are located deep inside a flooded underground facility. Step 1: Enter the Missile Silo Travel to the mission location and enter the abandoned silo. Follow the objective markers deeper into the structure until you reach the flooded sections. You'll need to navigate the facility while searching for ways to raise the water level. Step 2: Raise the Water Level The main puzzle involves increasing the water level to reach previously inaccessible areas. Search for the mechanisms that control the water and activate them in the correct sequence. You'll need to raise the water level three times as you progress through the silo. Each time the water rises, new passages and platforms become accessible. Pay attention to your oxygen while swimming through submerged areas. Return to the surface whenever possible to avoid drowning. Step 3: Recover Selene's Supplies After successfully raising the water level for the third time, you'll be able to access the area containing Selene's stash. Collect the supplies and follow the objective markers to leave the facility. Return the materials to Selene to complete Deep Dive. She'll join Prosperity, and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Take your time exploring each flooded section before activating the next mechanism. If you're having trouble finding the correct route, look for climbable platforms, doorways, and machinery that become accessible as the water rises. Selene is another specialist available during Act 1, so recruiting her helps you meet the campaign's early settlement requirements.

Warning

You must complete the entire Deep Dive mission and return the supplies to Selene. Simply entering the silo or locating the stash isn't enough. This is a host-only trophy, so complete the mission in your own campaign. Apparently, Hope County's medical supplies are now stored at the bottom of a flooded missile silo. Whoever designed the inventory system deserves a strongly worded complaint.

Unlock Details

Complete your first Expedition and successfully escape with the Highwaymen's supplies. Expeditions are special missions that take you outside Hope County to raid Highwaymen strongholds throughout the United States. Each location contains valuable crafting materials that you'll need for upgrading your equipment and preparing for the Platinum's tougher challenges. To unlock Expeditions, progress through the campaign until you can upgrade the Expeditions facility at Prosperity to Level 1. Once Expeditions become available: Open your Journal and select the Expeditions section. Choose your first available Expedition, HMS MacCoubrey, an abandoned aircraft carrier. Travel to the location and search for the Highwaymen's supply package. Look for the pink smoke marking the general area where the supplies are hidden. Retrieve the package and make your way toward the extraction point. Survive the enemy reinforcements until your helicopter arrives. Board the helicopter and successfully escape. The trophy unlocks after completing your first Expedition.

Tip

You can approach the supply package using stealth, but once you collect it, the Highwaymen will begin tracking your location. After a short delay, the package's GPS tracker activates, revealing your position to nearby enemies. Bring a reliable weapon and enough medkits to survive the extraction sequence. Expeditions are also an excellent source of crafting materials, so replaying them is worthwhile when you need resources for stronger weapons.

Warning

Simply collecting the supply package isn't enough. You must survive the extraction sequence and escape in the helicopter. You'll eventually need to complete all seven unique Expeditions on Rank III for Hit the Road, so this first mission is only the beginning. Apparently, the Captain's idea of a vacation involves visiting an abandoned aircraft carrier, stealing supplies, and leaving under heavy gunfire. Hope County's travel industry has seen better days.

Unlock Details

Complete three Treasure Hunt missions. Treasure Hunts are optional exploration challenges scattered throughout Hope County. They function similarly to the Prepper Stashes from Far Cry 5, requiring you to solve environmental puzzles, navigate abandoned locations, and uncover hidden supplies. Treasure Hunts are marked by green diamond icons on the map once discovered. There are 10 Treasure Hunts available, but you only need to complete three for this trophy. Step 1: Discover a Treasure Hunt Explore Hope County and speak with Wiki-Bean-ia scouts to reveal Treasure Hunt locations. You can also discover them naturally by approaching the relevant areas. Once you've located a Treasure Hunt, travel to its starting point. Step 2: Investigate the Location Read any notes or clues near the entrance to understand the puzzle. Treasure Hunts may involve: Finding hidden entrances. Solving environmental puzzles. Navigating caves or abandoned buildings. Using grappling points to reach inaccessible areas. Opening locked doors or accessing secret rooms. Follow the clues until you reach the hidden stash. Step 3: Collect the Treasure Open the stash and collect the available supplies. Treasure Hunts typically contain crafting resources, ammunition, and valuable perk points. Each completed Treasure Hunt rewards three perk points, making them particularly useful for character progression. Repeat until you've completed three Treasure Hunts. The trophy unlocks after finishing the third.

Tip

Complete Treasure Hunts early because the additional perk points help unlock important abilities. Prioritize the Grappling Hook perk because some exploration activities require it. You'll eventually need a large number of perk points for Perk-olate, so completing more than the required three Treasure Hunts is worthwhile.

Warning

Discovering a Treasure Hunt location doesn't count as completing it. You must solve the puzzle and access the hidden stash. This trophy is host-only, so complete the three Treasure Hunts in your own campaign. Apparently, people preparing for the apocalypse decided to hide their valuables behind elaborate puzzles. Fortunately, they also left conveniently detailed instructions.

Unlock Details

Collect 15 plants growing throughout Hope County. Plants are common crafting resources used to create healing supplies, smoke grenades, bait, and other useful items. There are three collectible plant types in Far Cry New Dawn. 1. Yucca Yucca plants have an orange-brown appearance and are commonly found in wooded areas and around forests. They're used for crafting items such as bait and smoke grenades, as well as supplies needed to revive companions. 2. Bougainvillea Bougainvillea plants have distinctive blue-purple flowers and are frequently found near rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. They're especially useful for crafting medkits and reviving your Guns for Hire. 3. Cistanche Cistanche plants are yellow and can often be found near roads, caves, and rocky areas. They're primarily used for crafting medkits. To collect a plant, approach it and hold Square when the interaction prompt appears. Continue collecting plants until you've gathered 15 in total. The trophy unlocks automatically after your fifteenth collection.

Tip

You don't need to collect five of each plant type. Any combination of 15 plants will satisfy the requirement. Collect plants whenever you encounter them rather than waiting until you need crafting supplies. You'll naturally gather enough resources while exploring Hope County, especially if you're regularly crafting medkits for How's it Look, Doc?

Warning

Forager counts plants you physically collect from the environment. Crafting items using materials you've already gathered doesn't increase your plant collection total. You don't need to collect every plant in the game, and none of the required plants are missable. Apparently, seventeen years after the apocalypse, Hope County's most reliable pharmacy is a patch of brightly colored weeds beside the road.

Unlock Details

Purchase your first infrastructure upgrade at Prosperity. Prosperity is your main settlement in Far Cry New Dawn. As you progress through the campaign, you'll be able to improve its facilities to unlock stronger weapons, better vehicles, useful equipment, and additional gameplay features. Each infrastructure upgrade requires Ethanol, an important resource earned primarily by capturing Highwaymen outposts. To unlock the trophy: Complete the prologue and reach Prosperity. Progress until the game's infrastructure upgrade system becomes available. Open the Homebase section of your menu or approach one of Prosperity's upgradeable facilities. Select an available upgrade. Spend the required Ethanol to purchase it. The trophy unlocks immediately after purchasing your first infrastructure upgrade. You can upgrade several facilities throughout the settlement, including the Workbench, Infirmary, Garage, Training Camp, Explosive Lab, Expeditions, Healing Garden, and Cartography.

Tip

Prioritize upgrading the Workbench because stronger weapons are essential as you encounter higher-ranked enemies. The Expeditions facility is another excellent early investment because its upgrades improve fast-travel options and unlock additional activities. You'll eventually need to fully upgrade Prosperity's infrastructure for My Little Fortress, so every purchase contributes toward another trophy.

Warning

This trophy is host-only, meaning the upgrade must be purchased in your own campaign or while hosting a cooperative session. Upgrading a weapon doesn't count. You must purchase an actual infrastructure upgrade at Prosperity. Apparently, the first step toward rebuilding civilization is constructing a proper workbench. The second step is using it to manufacture increasingly ridiculous weapons.

Unlock Details

Craft 10 medkits. Medkits restore health and are among the most useful consumable items in Far Cry New Dawn. You can craft them from the beginning of the game using resources collected throughout Hope County. Each medkit requires three ingredients: Bougainvillea: A blue-purple plant commonly found near rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. Cistanche: A yellow plant frequently found near roads, caves, and rocky terrain. Meat: Obtained by hunting and skinning animals throughout Hope County. Once you've collected the necessary ingredients, open your weapon wheel by holding L1. Hold Triangle to craft a medkit when the option is available. Repeat this process until you've crafted 10 medkits in total. The trophy unlocks after crafting your tenth medkit. You don't need to craft all 10 at once. Progress accumulates throughout your campaign.

Tip

Collect plants whenever you encounter them, especially Bougainvillea and Cistanche. These resources are easy to overlook while exploring but become useful during difficult combat encounters. You can work toward this trophy alongside Forager, which requires collecting 15 plants. If your inventory is full, use a medkit when you've taken damage before crafting another. Upgrading Prosperity's Healing Garden provides additional healing benefits and makes plant resources available at the settlement.

Warning

Only medkits you manually craft count toward this trophy. Finding medkits in supply containers or receiving them through other activities won't satisfy the crafting requirement. You'll need enough inventory space to craft additional medkits, so use your existing supplies when necessary. Apparently, the Captain has become Hope County's leading medical professional. The treatment plan consists entirely of flowers, animal meat, and blind optimism.

Unlock Details

Kill one Monstrous Animal. Monstrous Animals are powerful, mutated versions of ordinary wildlife that roam Hope County. They're considerably more dangerous than regular animals, featuring large health pools and powerful attacks. There are four types of Monstrous Animals: 1. Monstrous Bison A heavily mutated bison capable of dealing significant damage with its charging attacks. 2. Monstrous Boar An aggressive boar with increased health and powerful close-range attacks. 3. Monstrous Bear A massive predator that can quickly overwhelm unprepared players. 4. Monstrous Cougar A fast and dangerous predator that attacks aggressively at close range. You only need to kill one of these animals to unlock Kill or Be Killed. Recommended Method Wait until you've crafted a Rank III or Elite weapon before actively hunting Monstrous Animals. Travel to a Monstrous Animal hunting location marked on your map. You can reveal these locations by upgrading Prosperity's Cartography facility and purchasing the appropriate hunting maps. Once you've reached a hunting area: Search the surrounding wilderness for the Monstrous Animal. Identify the creature before approaching. Equip a powerful firearm, preferably with a large ammunition capacity. Keep your distance and begin attacking. Avoid charges and other close-range attacks. Continue firing until the animal is defeated. The trophy unlocks after killing your first Monstrous Animal.

Tip

You'll eventually need to kill and skin all four Monstrous Animal types for Master Skinner, so make sure you collect the skin after defeating one. Bring Timber as your companion because he can help identify nearby wildlife. A powerful light machine gun is particularly effective against these creatures because of their large health pools.

Warning

Ordinary animals don't count. The creature must be one of the four Monstrous variants. Monstrous Animals can withstand considerable punishment, so don't underestimate them. Avoid using explosives or flamethrowers if you're also collecting skins for Master Skinner, because those weapons can destroy the animal's usable skin. Apparently, the apocalypse has produced a new category of wildlife best described as extremely angry, unusually large, and absolutely uninterested in peaceful coexistence.

Unlock Details

Craft your first Legendary (Elite) weapon or vehicle. Far Cry New Dawn features a crafting system that allows you to create weapons and vehicles using resources collected throughout Hope County. Weapons and vehicles are divided into four ranks, each offering improvements in damage, durability, and overall effectiveness. The four ranks are: Rank I: Basic equipment available during the early game. Rank II: Improved equipment with increased effectiveness. Rank III: Powerful equipment designed for tougher enemies. Elite: The highest equipment rank, identified by its gold-colored background. For this trophy, you only need to craft one Elite weapon or vehicle. Recommended Method: Craft an Elite Weapon Crafting an Elite weapon is recommended because you'll eventually need powerful weapons for Rank III outposts, Expeditions, and challenging combat trophies. Step 1: Upgrade Prosperity Travel to Prosperity and access the Homebase menu. Locate the Workbench facility. You'll need to upgrade the Workbench to Level 3 before Elite weapons become available. These upgrades require Ethanol, which can be earned by liberating Highwaymen outposts, scavenging captured outposts, and delivering Ethanol tankers. Continue upgrading the Workbench until you've unlocked Elite weapon crafting. Step 2: Collect Crafting Materials Elite weapons require larger quantities of crafting materials than lower-ranked equipment. Useful materials include Components, Duct Tape, Gears, Springs, and other resources obtained through exploration. You can gather these materials by: Completing Expeditions. Looting abandoned buildings and supply containers. Capturing Highwaymen outposts. Collecting Highwaymen Supply Drops. Completing Treasure Hunts. Expeditions are particularly valuable because they reward substantial crafting resources. Step 3: Craft an Elite Weapon Once your Workbench reaches Level 3, interact with it to open the crafting menu. Navigate to the Elite weapon category, identified by its gold-colored background. Select a weapon you have enough materials to craft. Two useful options are the Blunderbuss MG-42 and Lucky Shot Compound Bow. The Blunderbuss MG-42 is excellent for eliminating heavily armored enemies, while the Lucky Shot Compound Bow is especially useful for stealth encounters. Craft your chosen Elite weapon. The trophy unlocks after successfully crafting your first Elite weapon. Alternative Method: Elite Vehicle You can also earn the trophy by upgrading Prosperity's Garage to Level 3 and crafting an Elite vehicle. However, Elite weapons are generally more useful for the Platinum journey, making the Workbench the better investment.

Tip

Work toward this trophy alongside My Little Fortress, which requires fully upgrading every infrastructure facility at Prosperity. Crafting an Elite weapon early will also help with All Your Bases, Hit the Road, and Pure Ninja. If you're unsure which weapon to choose, a powerful Elite light machine gun is an excellent investment because it can handle most combat situations.

Warning

You must craft an Elite weapon or vehicle. Simply unlocking the Elite crafting category or obtaining a weapon through another method won't satisfy the requirement. Rank III equipment doesn't count. Make sure you're selecting the gold-colored Elite category. The weapon or vehicle must be crafted using the appropriate Workbench or Garage facility. Apparently, Hope County's weapons industry has reached its peak: a collection of scrap metal, duct tape, and questionable engineering decisions has somehow produced military-grade equipment. The Captain should probably patent the process.

Unlock Details

Purchase the first level of all 30 perks in Far Cry New Dawn. Perks are permanent character upgrades that improve the Captain's combat abilities, mobility, equipment capacity, survival skills, and supernatural Eden's Gift powers. There are 30 different perks available in the game. For this trophy, you must purchase every perk at least once. Some perks can be upgraded repeatedly, but you only need to purchase their first tier for Perk-olate. Step 1: Unlock the Perk System The Perks menu becomes available early in the campaign. Open the pause menu and navigate to the Perks section to view your available abilities. Most perks can be purchased immediately if you have enough perk points. However, five special Eden's Gift perks remain locked until later in the story. Step 2: Earn Perk Points You'll need approximately 182 perk points to purchase the first level of all 30 perks. Perk points are earned by completing challenges and optional activities throughout Hope County. Some of the most useful sources include: Treasure Hunts There are 10 Treasure Hunts scattered throughout Hope County. Each completed Treasure Hunt awards three perk points. Completing all 10 provides 30 perk points, making these activities an excellent starting point. Combat Challenges The game rewards perk points for completing challenges involving different weapons, enemy types, and combat techniques. These include eliminating enemies with firearms, bows, explosives, melee weapons, and other equipment. Check your Challenges menu regularly to identify objectives you can complete quickly. Hunting Challenges Hunting animals contributes toward several challenges that reward additional perk points. You'll already need to collect skins from 25 animal species for Master Skinner, so you can make progress toward both objectives at the same time. Fishing Challenges Catching the six required fish species for You're a Catch can also contribute toward fishing challenges. Fishing is a useful alternative if you want to earn progression rewards without fighting heavily armored Highwaymen. Expeditions Completing Expeditions provides valuable rewards and opportunities to earn additional perk points. You'll need to complete all seven unique Expeditions on Rank III for Hit the Road, so these missions should contribute significantly toward your overall progression. Hostage Rescues Rescuing civilians from Highwaymen can also reward perk points. Look for these encounters while exploring Hope County. Step 3: Complete Joseph's Secret During Act 2, complete the main story mission Joseph's Secret. This unlocks access to the five Eden's Gift perks that were previously unavailable. These abilities include Wrath, Leap of Faith, Ghost, Eden's Touch, and Eden's Gift. You'll need to purchase all five to satisfy the trophy requirement. Step 4: Purchase All 30 Perks Once you've earned enough perk points, open the Perks menu. Work through every available perk and purchase its first level. You don't need to maximize any perk that can be upgraded repeatedly. For example, purchasing the first tier of More Lung Capacity is enough for Perk-olate, even though the perk can be purchased several more times. Continue until every perk has been purchased at least once. The trophy unlocks after purchasing your final required perk.

Tip

Work toward Perk-olate throughout your entire playthrough rather than saving it until the end. Prioritize useful abilities early, including Grappling Hook, Lock Picking, additional weapon holsters, and higher-rank takedowns. Complete Treasure Hunts whenever you discover them because they provide three perk points each. You'll naturally progress through many combat challenges while completing outposts and Expeditions. If you need additional perk points after finishing the campaign, review the Challenges menu and focus on objectives that are nearly complete.

Warning

You must purchase the first level of all 30 different perks. Purchasing multiple tiers of the same perk doesn't replace the requirement to unlock other abilities. The five Eden's Gift perks remain unavailable until you've completed Joseph's Secret. Make sure you're counting individual perks rather than the total number of upgrades purchased. You don't need to complete every challenge in the game to earn enough points. Apparently, the Captain has officially reached the point where surviving the apocalypse requires mastering everything from lock picking to supernatural powers. Hope County's personal development programs have become surprisingly demanding.

Unlock Details

Complete the main story mission Problem Solver by defeating the Highwaymen's twin leaders, Mickey and Lou. This mission takes place near the end of the campaign, after the Captain has helped rebuild Prosperity and established an alliance with New Eden. As the story progresses, you'll discover that the Highwaymen are preparing another major assault. Eventually, you'll confront Mickey and Lou directly. Both sisters are powerful enemies with considerable health and access to dangerous weapons. Preparing for the Fight Before beginning the mission, make sure you've upgraded Prosperity's Workbench and crafted powerful weapons. Rank III or Elite weapons are highly recommended because the twins can absorb a significant amount of damage. Bring: A powerful assault rifle or light machine gun. A reliable secondary weapon. Plenty of ammunition. A full supply of medkits. A combat-focused Gun for Hire if available. Defeating the Twins During the encounter, focus on avoiding unnecessary damage while attacking the sisters. Use the environment for cover and keep moving rather than standing in the open. Concentrate your fire on one sister at a time so you can reduce the number of enemies attacking you. If you're struggling, use explosives or powerful weapons to deal additional damage. Remember to heal whenever your health becomes low, and avoid getting trapped in close quarters. After defeating both Mickey and Lou, the mission continues into a story sequence involving the remaining Highwaymen leadership. Complete the sequence to finish Problem Solver and unlock the trophy.

Tip

Elite weapons make this encounter considerably easier. The Blunderbuss MG-42 and other powerful light machine guns are particularly useful because they deal consistent damage against heavily armored enemies. You can also upgrade your Infirmary at Prosperity to increase your maximum health before attempting the mission.

Warning

Problem Solver is a mandatory story mission and cannot be missed. It's a host-only trophy, so complete the encounter in your own campaign. Defeating the twins doesn't finish the entire game. You'll still need to complete the final story mission, Ethan's Soul, for The End of Eden. After everything the Highwaymen have put Hope County through, the Captain finally gets to file a formal complaint with management. Unfortunately, the meeting involves an unreasonable amount of gunfire.

Unlock Details

Complete the main story mission Under Siege and secure Prosperity against the Highwaymen. Prospering is awarded near the end of Act 1, after you've helped rebuild the settlement and defended it from a major attack. Before reaching this point, you'll need to complete several objectives to strengthen Prosperity. Step 1: Recruit Two Specialists Find and recruit any two specialists who can help improve the settlement. Several become available during Act 1, including: - Grace Armstrong: Complete her mission Buzz Kill. - Selene: Complete her mission Deep Dive. - Bean: Complete his mission Losing Streak. - Nick Rye: Complete his mission The Great Escape. Each specialist provides valuable services or improvements at Prosperity. You only need to recruit two to meet this initial story requirement. Step 2: Purchase Three Prosperity Upgrades Collect Ethanol by capturing Highwaymen outposts and completing activities. Return to Prosperity and invest your resources in three infrastructure upgrades. You can access these upgrades through the Homebase menu or by interacting with the facilities directly. Step 3: Rescue Thomas Rush Continue the main storyline until you're sent to rescue Rush from an abandoned mine. Follow the mission objectives, defeat the Highwaymen guarding the area, and bring Rush back to Prosperity. After completing these requirements, you'll be able to upgrade Prosperity to Level 2. Step 4: Complete Under Siege Following the settlement upgrade, the Highwaymen launch a large attack against Prosperity. Defend the settlement by eliminating the incoming enemies and protecting its residents. Use cover, available weapons, and your Guns for Hire to survive the assault. Successfully complete Under Siege to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Prioritize upgrading the Workbench so you can craft stronger weapons as the campaign progresses. Liberating outposts is an excellent way to earn the Ethanol needed for Prosperity upgrades. Recruiting specialists early also opens additional equipment and gameplay options.

Warning

This trophy is tied to the main campaign and cannot be missed through normal story progression. However, it's a host-only trophy, so you must complete the relevant mission in your own campaign or while hosting a co-op session. Simply joining another player's Under Siege mission won't award you the trophy. Apparently, rebuilding a peaceful community involves collecting scrap metal, rescuing specialists, and surviving a massive armed assault. Prosperity's homeowners association must be exhausted.

Unlock Details

Scavenge a liberated Highwaymen outpost. Outposts are enemy-controlled locations scattered throughout Hope County. Capturing them rewards Ethanol, crafting materials, and useful fast-travel points. Unlike traditional Far Cry outposts, New Dawn allows you to voluntarily abandon a liberated outpost in exchange for additional Ethanol. Doing so lets the Highwaymen reclaim the location and strengthen its defenses, creating a more difficult version of the outpost that you can capture again. To unlock the trophy: Locate any Highwaymen outpost on your map. Travel to the location and eliminate every enemy guarding it. Wait for the liberation notification confirming that the outpost is under your control. Open the map and highlight the liberated outpost. Press Triangle to scavenge it, or interact with the scavenging workbench located inside the outpost. Confirm that you want to abandon the outpost in exchange for Ethanol. The Highwaymen will reclaim the location, and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Scavenging outposts is essential for the Platinum because you'll eventually need to liberate all 10 outposts on Rank III difficulty for All Your Bases. Each outpost progresses through three ranks: Rank I: The original outpost encounter. Rank II: Available after scavenging the outpost once. Rank III: Available after scavenging the outpost a second time. Liberating higher-ranked outposts rewards more Ethanol, which you can invest in Prosperity's facilities. Try to disable alarms before capturing outposts to earn additional rewards.

Warning

Scavenging an outpost removes it from your control, so you'll temporarily lose its fast-travel point and associated facilities. The next takeover will also be more difficult because the Highwaymen return with stronger soldiers and improved defenses. This trophy is host-only, so scavenge an outpost in your own campaign. Don't worry about permanently losing the location. You can reclaim scavenged outposts as many times as needed. The Captain has discovered a remarkable economic strategy: liberate an outpost, voluntarily hand it back to criminals, and then liberate it again for more resources. Hope County's economy is officially built on recycling bad decisions.

Unlock Details

Complete the main story mission Joseph's Secret during Act 2. After defending Prosperity against the Highwaymen, the Captain begins searching for additional allies who can help defeat Mickey and Lou. This leads you toward New Eden, a secluded community formed by the surviving followers of Eden's Gate from Far Cry 5. The residents of New Eden remain deeply connected to the teachings of Joseph Seed, also known as the Father. As you progress through Act 2, you'll need to earn the community's trust and complete several missions involving its members. You'll eventually meet Ethan, Joseph Seed's son, who directs you toward the northern wilderness to investigate his father's whereabouts. Continue following the main story until you begin Joseph's Secret. During this mission, you'll travel into Joseph's isolated sanctuary and confront the unusual circumstances surrounding his disappearance. Complete the mission objectives and return Joseph Seed to New Eden. The trophy unlocks when the mission is completed.

Tip

Joseph's Secret is an important turning point because it unlocks access to several powerful Eden's Gift abilities. These include: Wrath: Temporarily increases melee damage and resistance. Leap of Faith: Allows you to perform a second jump while airborne. Ghost: Makes it harder for enemies to detect you. These abilities are essential for several trophies, including Anger Management, Hey Father, Watch This, and Springboard. Save some perk points before finishing Joseph's Secret so you can begin unlocking these abilities immediately.

Warning

Return to Eden is story-related and cannot be missed during normal campaign progression. It's also a host-only trophy, so make sure you're progressing through the mission in your own game. Some of the newly unlocked Eden's Gift abilities change how melee attacks and takedowns behave. If possible, complete Get to the Point before finishing Joseph's Secret, since obtaining a conventional bayonet finishing blow can become less predictable afterward. Joseph Seed survived the apocalypse and somehow ended up with an entirely new collection of supernatural abilities. Apparently, retirement wasn't part of the Father's plan.

Complete the final story mission, Ethan's Soul, and decide the fate of Joseph Seed. This mission takes place at the end of Act 3, following your confrontation with Mickey and Lou during Problem Solver. You'll travel into the northern wilderness to deal with the consequences of Ethan's actions at Joseph's sanctuary. Warning: The following section contains spoilers for the final story mission. During Ethan's Soul, you'll encounter Ethan after he consumes one of the sacred apples from Joseph's tree. The fruit transforms Ethan into a powerful, monstrous creature, forcing you into one final boss fight. Step 1: Prepare for the Fight Before starting the mission, equip your strongest available weapons. Elite weapons are recommended because Ethan has a large health pool and can inflict considerable damage. Bring plenty of ammunition and medkits. Step 2: Defeat Ethan Ethan has several dangerous attacks, including powerful melee strikes and charges that can knock you down. He can also throw rocks that create damaging areas around the arena, slowing your movement and draining your health. Keep moving and maintain your distance whenever possible. Use powerful firearms to damage him while avoiding his attacks. If you're running low on ammunition or healing supplies, look for supply crates positioned around the edges of the arena. Continue attacking until Ethan is defeated. Step 3: Decide Joseph Seed's Fate After defeating Ethan, Joseph sets the sacred tree on fire and asks you to kill him. You can either grant his request or leave him alive. Both choices lead to the conclusion of the story, so choose whichever ending you prefer. Return to Prosperity and complete the final story sequence to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Upgrade Prosperity's Workbench before attempting the final mission so you can craft Elite weapons. A powerful light machine gun or assault rifle is particularly useful against Ethan because you can deal consistent damage while moving. Remember to use medkits and keep your distance whenever Ethan begins charging.

Warning

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed through normal campaign progression. It's also a host-only trophy, meaning you must complete the mission in your own campaign or while hosting a cooperative session. Your decision regarding Joseph Seed doesn't affect the Platinum. Either choice satisfies the trophy requirement. Apparently, surviving a nuclear apocalypse wasn't enough punishment for Joseph Seed. Now his family has decided to make the Captain's final assignment considerably more complicated.

Complete the prologue and reach the settlement of Prosperity with Carmina Rye. Far Cry New Dawn begins 17 years after the nuclear events of Far Cry 5. You play as the Captain, a member of Thomas Rush's security team, traveling aboard an armored train to help rebuild settlements across the country. Unfortunately, your arrival in Hope County doesn't go according to plan. The train is attacked by the Highwaymen, a ruthless group of raiders led by twin sisters Mickey and Lou. After escaping the ambush, you'll meet Carmina Rye, the daughter of Nick and Kim Rye. Carmina explains the situation in Hope County and asks for your help reaching Prosperity, the settlement her family has been working to rebuild. Follow Carmina through the introductory missions as the game introduces its basic mechanics, including: - Movement and exploration. - Stealth and takedowns. - Crafting equipment and healing supplies. - Combat against Highwaymen soldiers. - Gathering resources from the environment. Continue following the mission objectives until you successfully reach Prosperity. The trophy unlocks at the end of the prologue when Carmina returns to her mother.

Tip

Take your time during the introduction to collect plants, ammunition, and crafting materials. These supplies will become useful when you begin upgrading equipment and crafting weapons. You don't need to complete any optional activities for this trophy.

Warning

This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed through normal progression. If you're playing cooperatively later, remember that story progression and many campaign trophies are tied to the host's save. Hope County has survived a nuclear apocalypse, but apparently nobody thought to warn the newcomers that arriving by train might attract a small army of heavily armed criminals.

Complete the specialist mission The Great Escape and reunite Nick Rye with his wife Kim and daughter Carmina. Nick Rye is a returning character from Far Cry 5 and one of the specialists who can be recruited to Prosperity. During Act 1, you'll learn that Nick has been captured by the Highwaymen. Travel to his marked location to begin The Great Escape. Step 1: Rescue Nick Rye Approach the area where Nick is being held prisoner. Identify the Highwaymen guarding him and eliminate them. Once the immediate threat has been removed, free Nick and speak with him. He'll explain that he has a vehicle hidden nearby that can help you escape. Step 2: Locate Nick's Plane Follow Nick to the location of his aircraft. Unfortunately, his plane has lost its wings during the years following the nuclear apocalypse. Despite this fairly significant aviation-related problem, Nick insists that the aircraft is still useful. You'll need to pilot the wingless plane across the water. Step 3: Escape With the Plane Enter the aircraft and follow the mission markers through the waterways. The plane handles more like a motorboat than an actual aircraft, so keep it moving along the water and avoid obstacles. Use its mounted weapon to deal with Highwaymen attempting to stop your escape. Continue following the marked route until you've reached your destination. Step 4: Reunite the Rye Family Successfully complete the escape and return Nick to Prosperity. Nick will reunite with Kim and Carmina, completing The Great Escape. The trophy unlocks after the mission concludes.

Tip

Completing this mission unlocks Carmina (The Plane), Nick's unusual wingless aircraft. You'll need this vehicle later for Fly, You Fools!, which requires briefly launching the plane into the air. Nick is also one of the specialists available during Act 1, so recruiting him contributes toward the early campaign requirements.

Warning

You must complete The Great Escape and reunite Nick with his family to unlock the trophy. Simply rescuing Nick from captivity isn't enough. This is a host-only trophy, so complete the recruitment mission in your own campaign. Nick Rye has survived the nuclear apocalypse, enemy captivity, and the loss of his aircraft's wings. Somehow, the last problem hasn't affected his confidence as a pilot.

Craft three weapons using workbenches throughout Hope County. Weapons in Far Cry New Dawn are created using scavenged materials rather than purchased with ordinary currency. You'll find crafting resources while exploring buildings, completing missions, liberating outposts, and looting supply containers. Weapons are divided into four ranks: Rank I: Basic weapons available early in the campaign. Rank II: Improved weapons with better damage and equipment. Rank III: Powerful weapons designed for tougher enemies. Elite: The strongest weapons available through crafting. For Weaponsmith, you only need to craft three weapons. They can belong to any available rank. Recommended Method: Craft Three Rank I Weapons Rank I weapons are the cheapest options, making them ideal for unlocking this trophy early. To begin: Complete the prologue and reach Prosperity. Locate the Workbench inside the settlement. Interact with the Workbench to open the weapon crafting menu. Select an affordable Rank I weapon. Check that you have the necessary crafting materials. Craft the weapon. Repeat until you've crafted three weapons. Rank I weapons generally require common materials such as Components, Duct Tape, and Gears. You can find these supplies throughout Hope County. The trophy unlocks after crafting your third qualifying weapon.

Tip

Don't worry about purchasing expensive upgrades specifically for this trophy. Three inexpensive Rank I weapons are enough. However, you'll eventually need to upgrade the Workbench to Level 3 to craft Elite weapons for Legend Has It. Crafting stronger weapons as you progress also makes the campaign and Rank III challenges significantly easier.

Warning

Finding weapons in the environment doesn't count toward Weaponsmith. You must personally craft three weapons using a Workbench. You don't need to craft three different weapon ranks or any specific weapon type. Apparently, the Captain has discovered that duct tape, rusty gears, and random scraps of metal can be assembled into perfectly functional firearms. Modern manufacturing has officially been replaced by enthusiasm.

Hijack a Highwaymen Ethanol tanker and deliver it to a liberated outpost or Prosperity. Ethanol is one of the most valuable resources in Far Cry New Dawn because it's used to upgrade Prosperity's facilities. The Highwaymen frequently transport Ethanol around Hope County using large tanker trucks. These vehicles occasionally appear while exploring roads and are often escorted by additional Highwaymen. To unlock the trophy: Liberate an outpost so you have a nearby delivery destination. Travel along surrounding roads until you encounter an Ethanol tanker. Approach the tanker carefully and eliminate its driver. Avoid shooting the tanker itself, as excessive damage can cause it to explode. Enter the driver's seat. Drive the tanker to a liberated outpost or Prosperity. Park inside the marked delivery area to complete the delivery. The trophy unlocks after successfully delivering the tanker. Recommended Method: Wait Near an Outpost The easiest approach is to position yourself along a road close to a liberated outpost. Wait for an Ethanol tanker to pass through the area. Eliminate the driver, take control of the vehicle, and drive the short distance to the outpost. This reduces the risk of destroying the tanker during a long journey.

Tip

Use a precise weapon to eliminate the driver without damaging the truck. A suppressed firearm can help you deal with escorts before approaching the tanker. Delivering Ethanol tankers also provides useful resources for Prosperity upgrades, so they're worth capturing whenever you encounter them.

Warning

You must successfully deliver the tanker. Simply stealing it won't unlock the trophy. Avoid explosives, mounted weapons, and reckless driving because the tanker can be destroyed. The vehicle must reach a valid delivery location while still intact. Apparently, Hope County's most valuable commodity is fuel. Naturally, the Highwaymen have chosen to transport it in enormous, highly explosive vehicles with minimal security.

Complete the specialist mission Losing Streak and recruit Bean to Prosperity. Bean is an information specialist who operates Wiki-Bean-ia, an intelligence network dedicated to documenting locations and useful information throughout Hope County. You can recruit him during Act 1. Travel to Bean's location and speak with him to begin Losing Streak. Bean explains that his business plan has been stolen and asks you to help retrieve it. Step 1: Find Bean's Scout Follow the mission marker to locate one of Bean's scouts. The scout is being threatened by Highwaymen, so eliminate the enemies and secure the area. Once the scout is safe, speak with him to continue the mission. Step 2: Follow the Scout The scout will lead you through the surrounding area. Stay close and follow him as he travels toward the location of Bean's missing business plan. You may need to move through hostile territory, so remain alert for additional Highwaymen. Step 3: Recover the Business Plan After following the scout, you'll receive information about the location of the missing documents. Travel to the marked stash and recover Bean's business plan. Return the documents to Bean to complete the mission. He'll agree to establish his intelligence network at Prosperity, and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Recruit Bean early because his intelligence network is useful for discovering activities and locations throughout Hope County. His scouts can also provide information about Treasure Hunts, outposts, and other points of interest. While exploring, remember to speak with 10 Wiki-Bean-ia scouts for Honorary Scout.

Warning

Don't confuse Wiki-Bean-ia in Business with Honorary Scout. Recruiting Bean unlocks this trophy, but Honorary Scout separately requires gathering information from 10 scouts. Honorary Scout is potentially missable, so speak to scouts whenever you encounter them and avoid buying every Cartography map before finishing that requirement. This trophy is also host-only. Apparently, even after the apocalypse, someone has decided to launch a technology startup. Bean clearly believes the end of civilization is an excellent opportunity for market expansion.

Loot one Highwaymen Supply Drop. Supply Drops are random events that occur while exploring Hope County. They contain valuable crafting materials and resources, making them useful throughout your adventure. While traveling around the map, you may receive a notification saying Supply Drop Located. A plane will fly overhead and drop a supply container somewhere in the surrounding area. The container releases distinctive yellow smoke, making it easier to locate. To unlock the trophy: Explore Hope County until a Supply Drop event appears. Look toward the sky or surrounding landscape to identify the yellow smoke. Travel to the Supply Drop location. Eliminate any Highwaymen guarding the container. Approach the crate and hold Square to secure its contents. Successfully looting one Supply Drop unlocks the trophy.

Tip

If you reach the container immediately after it lands, you may be able to collect the supplies before the Highwaymen arrive. Securing the crate takes several seconds, so clear nearby enemies if they're already attacking. Supply Drops are a useful source of crafting materials, especially during the early game when resources are limited.

Warning

Supply Drops appear randomly rather than at permanently marked locations. You must interact with the container and successfully secure its supplies. Simply reaching the location doesn't count. If the Highwaymen reach the drop before you, you'll need to fight them for it. Apparently, the post-apocalyptic delivery service has adopted an unusual business model: drop valuable supplies into the wilderness and let everyone fight over them.
