Five Easy Achievements - Far Cry 3

Howdy folks!

In anticipation of my review of the game, and since I haven't written one of these in an extremely long time, I'm back to give you tips to boost your Gamerscore!

WARNING! Possible spoilers ahead!

1: Unheard
20 Gamerscore
The requirements are quite easy for this one: Liberate an outpost without triggering an alarm. Now this can be done in several ways. Remember that high vantage points from hills above these outposts will be your best friend for tagging enemies. From here, you'll need a silenced weapon. I'd suggest either a sniper rifle or an SMG.
(This next part works well with certain parts of the Tatau unlocked)
From here, you either have to be extremely quick or quite stealthy. To be quick, take out any snipers or any enemies in a higher position, enemies by themselves will make easy prey from your knife and eliminate any remaining enemies. BUT always be wary of the alarm system. Either keep it in your line of sight to shoot or head for the stealth option. Also make sure there aren't any other Alarm boxes in the outpost, shooting one doesn't disable another.
For stealth, take out your sniper rifle and pick off any enemies in high or higher positions then yourself. If you don't have a sniper rifle, slide down to ground level and use your camera to find the alarm system. From here, distract/kill any guards in your way. When the alarm system is off, either stick to stealth or go guns blazing. Either way, the alarm can't be triggered.

2: Needle Exchange

Again, simple, craft 25 syringes. I found this easier with just using one type of syringe, health syringes. You will loose heaps of health and a lot of these will come in handy.

3: Love The Boom
10 Gamerscore:
Fully distract 25 enemies with rocks. This is pretty easy to get it, with a bit of patience. Read carefully as the description says to "Fully" distract them; they must leave their current post, walk over to the area and stand there looking. If they become alerted to the rock, the game won't count it.
This is easiest done around Outposts you have yet to capture. Don't get caught, sneak around and throw rocks. Heading to restricted areas also heaps greatly too, as well as dressing in the Pirate uniform and headind around towns and areas. Find a nice spot, throw a rock, get up, walk to new enemies and repeat.

4: Poker Bully
20 Gamerscore
This achievement is simple, even if you don't understand poker too well. Win $1500 in a poker match. The game makes it easy by telling you what you have and how good your hand is. Remember that Full House is better than a Straight and other basics, fold when necessary and its as simple as that.

5: Hunter Hunted
10 Gamerscore
This is one of the earliest achievements you can unlock, simply kill a preditor animal.
As you first start out in the main storyline, you'll be asked to skin some boars. Boars are preditors, so simply antagonise one by going up to it, let it attack you once then shoot it down.
This popped the achievement for me, but if it fails, remember to head to hunting zones and find preditor animals with your camera. But don't go bullying a Tiger till you're fully equipped!

Well, there you have it folks! Happy hunting! The Far Cry 3 review will be out asap.
Thanks for watching!
