How to unlock the Survivalist achievement in Call of Duty: Vanguard - Definitive Guide

In Numa Numa Trail you'll have no weapons and be forced to do a stealth section. Make sure to utilize Wade's focus ability to see the enemies through the bushes and trees and take your time. There are a few trip wire traps on your way so keep your eye out. If you get spotted you can just run for it and melee any enemies that get in your way.

The Achievement should pop after sliding down the hill.

If you'd like to see a stealth run check out my Achievement Guide here.

Tip here for anyone:
Attempt 1: Went melee only with bayonet charges: Did not unlock. I fired the flare gun.
Attempt 2: Never picked up a gun, but fired the flare gun. Did not unlock.
Attempt 3: Picked up a gun off the first enemy you encounter priming the trap, never fired, skipped the flare gun: Did unlock the achievement.

I used the flare gun and got the achievement on PS4. Picked up guns as I went but did not fire either of them. Only killed the first guy for the stealth kill tutorial and stealth killed one other dude near the end, complete stealth.

I picked up weapons. Even fired some to achieve the Heightened Senses achievement, but then quickly reloaded my game to where I hadn't fired anything and kept going. Fired the flare gun. Then found Mateo shortly after. My achievement popped.

Your main objective is to find Mateo, but for the achievement, do not, I'll say this again, don't fire a single bullet, or you'll risk having to restart last checkpoint or the entire mission. Achievement/trophy pops if you never fired a single bullet.

Mission 5: Numa Numa Trail

At the very start of this mission, your objective will be to find Mateo. You don't have guns when you start but you can grab some if you want after killing the first enemy, however make sure to never fire a bullet until you reach Mateo.

Keep pressing tp.png to highligth the objective and to know where to go and dpad_up.png to highlight enemies on your way. There aren't a lot of enemies in this section so if you stay outside of the main road it won't be too hard. You are also allowed to get spotted or kill enemies with your knife, if you really need to get rid of an enemy but it's really not necessary.

Mission 5: Numa Numa Trail

This is actually quite an easy achievement. The mission starts off with you stumbling through the jungle trying to find Mateo. Until you get to him, simply don't shoot at all. You will barely encounter any enemies, and ones you do encounter can either be easily hidden from in the brush, or just use a takedown on them from behind. Since you have Focus available, and it shows enemies through walls/objects, you could play it extremely conservatively and just hang back until it recharges, use it, and move forward while you can see enemies through walls. Wait for it to recharge and repeat until you eventually get to the objective marker where Mateo is.

Did it on Veteran.
Quite an easy trophy, but there are two dummy places:
1- immediately after the script with the walkie-talkie passes, enemies will look into your trench, so as soon as the script ends, we run into the corner and meet the first enemy with a silent attack, if you are a “child of the forest” then the second one will not even see you, but if not, be careful, the second one will come from the other side of the trench along the stairs, you can also kill him silently.
2-after you launch a fire from an airplane, the GG will descend on a vine, and you will hear screaming enemies, immediately make a 180 * turn, 3-4 steps, and immediately crouch in the bushes, if you did everything correctly, there will be no shots in your direction will follow, and you will calmly walk away through the bushes.

The main beauty of the trophy is that if you freak out and shoot at someone, let yourself be killed and start from the control point, the trophy will be counted.

On the veteran, I simply walked through the jungle, following the mission marker. There were no cutscenes, I almost didn’t encounter any enemies. The main thing is to use concentration more often so as not to bump into enemies

During this mission, there will be a barn on the way, which you can go into and try to call for reinforcements by radio - it’s better not to do this, because the Japanese will come, which will complicate the already stupid stealth. But if you get caught, press restart from the last CT, they will still give you the trophy.
