No enemy or wildlife

During a story mission several hours into the game, you will ride in an airplane. When you jump out of the plane, you will have a wingsuit equipped. Instead of going towards the mission objective, go to any of the towers and relic or loot locations and start unlocking them, as there will be no enemies or wildlife on the map.

Breaking Bad reference

Memory Card 16 talks about formulas for cooking meth. The pirates talk about losing business to a new formula of meth coming out of New Mexico. This is a reference to the AMC TV show Breaking Bad, which takes place in New Mexico. It is about a terminally ill school teacher who cooks his own brand of blue crystal meth.

Easy "Aftermarket Junkie" achievement

The starting pistol, 1911, is a required buy at $60 at the beginning of the game. It has no attachments, so you only need to buy six camos at $200 each for a total of $1,200 to get the "Aftermarket Junkie" achievement. You can also save the game before buying the camos, and reload the saved game after getting the achievement so you do not actually have to spend any money to get the achievement.

Easy "Fearless Or Stupid" achievement

Search for a dark blue part of the ocean on your map (e.g. at X: 709.1, Y: 835.6 or X: 752.7, Y: 656.1 coordinates), which are the deepest parts of the ocean. You need to activate radio towers to reveal the map. After reaching a dark blue part of the ocean, dive down until you reach the ground to get the "Fearless Or Stupid" achievement. Note: Click the Left Analog-stick to swim faster.

Easy "Free Fall" achievement

Go to X: 442.4, Y: 651.1 coordinates to find a glider almost on the top of a high mountain, which you must climb up. Once you reach the glider, press X to use it. Do not not steer while you are in the air -- just keep gliding until you reach the ocean. Once you are over the ocean, press X to exit the glider. You will then fall into the water and get the "Free Fall" achievement.

During a story mission several hours into the game, you will ride in an airplane. When you jump out of the plane, you will have a wingsuit equipped. Instead of activating the wingsuit, just fall into the ocean to get the "Free Fall" achievement. You will fail the mission, but you can simply reload from the checkpoint to try again.

Easy "Hunter Hunted" achievement

Some common predators in the game are Crocodiles, Komodos, Leopards, Sharks, and Tigers. Most animals are shown on your map when you zoom in. Look for the symbol of one of these animals, and go to that area. Run around the area until you are attacked by a predator, and then kill it to get the "Hunter Hunted" achievement. Crocodiles are not displayed on the map, but they can be found in most rivers. You can either shoot the animal while it is chasing you or stab it while it is latched onto you.

Easy "Improper Use" achievement

Get the Repair Tool from a weapon locker or general store. You can either buy it or activate radio towers to get it for free. It can be found under the "Special" objects section at the general store. Once you have the Repair tool equipped, search for enemies near an outpost or play one of the side or story missions. Get close to an enemy, and burn him for 2 to 3 seconds with the Repair Tool at close range to get the "Improper Use" achievement.

Easy "Love The Boom" achievement

Get an explosive weapon from a weapon locker or general store. The RPG-7 rocket launcher is recommended. You can either buy it or activate radio towers to get it for free. Then, go to the Welshore Wrecker's House Outpost at X: 437.9, Y: 795.0 coordinates, and make some noise until the enemies activate the alarm. Wait for the reinforcement jeeps to arrive, but keep at least one outpost guard alive. There are usually four soliders in the second jeep (the one without the turret). Shoot that jeep with the rocket launcher before the soldiers get out to get the "Love The Boom" achievement. Alternatively, you can plant some C4, get enemies to group around it, and then denotate the C4 to kill them. If this does not work on your first attempt, just get yourself killed, and you should respawn somewhere around the outpost, where you can try this again. Just make sure you do not kill the last outpost guard before getting the achievement or else you will not be able to keep using them method to get it.

Easy "Never Saw It Coming" achievement

You must first buy the "Death From Above" skill in the Heron skill tree. This will allow you to perform a stealth takedown while jumping on enemies. Jumping down while using a zipline is the easiest way to get this achievement. Using the glider or parachute is harder and unpredictable. Ziplines can be found during many main story missions, but are rarely found near enemies in the open world. The earliest opportunity you will have to get this achievement is during Mission 6: "The Medusa's Call". No matter where you try to use the zipline to kill an enemy, the strategy is always the same: throw some stones to lure nearby guards under the zipline. Then, use the zipline while the guards are in place, and detach when you are above them. The kill will then be performed automatically.

Easy "Poacher" achievement

Rare animals can be found during the "Path Of The Hunter" quests. To play these quests, you must liberate outposts. The spawn area of the animals will be shown during the quests. If the quest features rare animals, there will be a red "Rare" stamp on the hunter posters. One of these quests can be started at X: 428.9, Y: 694.3 coordinates.

Easy "Say Hi To The Internet" achievement

The lost Hollywood star can be found at X: 619.7, Y: 559.4 coordinates, which is at the beach of one of the northern islands. You can go there shortly after the game starts. Stay at the beach, and look for two dead people that are hanging on a tree. There is a man buried in the sand, and you can only see his head. Go to the burried man, and press X to get the "Say Hi To The Internet" achievement. This achievement is a reference to the "Far Cry Experience" video series from Machinima starring actor Christopher Mintz-Plasse (who played McLovin in Superbad). In the fourth episode of the video series, viewers could vote whether Christopher lives or dies after being captured and dug neck-deep in sand.

Easy "Toxophilite" achievement

Get the Recurve Bow from a weapon locker or general store. You can either buy it or activate radio towers to get it for free. Also, buy and equip the Markman Sight. It is a very useful attachment for long range shots. Then, search for some enemies, and place a marker on their location on the world map. Walk away until the marker shows a distance of 70+ meters, shoot the enemy while they are standing still to get the "Toxophilite" achievement. The Welshore Wrecker's House Outpost at X: 437.9, Y: 795.0 coordinates is near the starting area of the game, and one of the best locations to get this achievement early in the game.

Easy "Unheard" achievement

There are a total of 34 outposts in the game. You can liberate any of these outposts without triggering an alarm. Search for the alarm switch in an outpost, and disable it by pressing X. Then, kill the remaining enemies to get the "Unheard" achievement. It does not matter if the enemies see you or not. They just cannot ring the alarm. If you hear the loud alarm, then get yourself killed, and you should respawn somewhere near the outpost, where you can try again.
