How to unlock the Long Distance Relationship achievement in Crysis - Definitive Guide
At the beginning of "Assalut" after you go to the Commander at the Hilltop, there is a little boat driving around a little Isle down at the river.
The distance of the boat is between 230 and 270 meters, just keep firing at the boat, after 10-12 Shoots of the Precision Rifle the boat explodes and the achievement unlocks.
Best used against an enemy manning a gun emplacement (as they move less) and clearly in wide open area with a shot at the enemy.By pressing up on the D-pad you will open your binoculars, when in this mode, your HUD will display this distance to the enemy in yards, simply back up and wait until the binoculars reads 200m or more, hold B to go prone and eliminate your rifle sway, aim and fire.
This is best done with the sniper scope attachment on your rifle, however I unlocked it using the assault scope. Just keep your eyes out for that target of opportunity in the clear and let em have it.
I managed to bag it in the second chapter just before you infiltrate the village to find the first hostage. If you do the secondary objective, you'll be up on a hill overlooking the whole village - simply locate someone with the binocs and start plinking away with single shots.
I tagged someone at about 250m... after about 12 shots :)
Often during the single player campaign a helicopter will hover in the distance. If you are armed with a rocket launcher this can be an easy way to get this achievement too.
In the level 'recovery' you'll be notified on a secondary mission to grab some intel from an HQ and to be careful of the patrolling snipers. Grab a precision rifle off one and proceed to the secondary objective, finish this and move on to the compound to recover the hostage you'll clear the peak of the hill.
Now the easy bit, get your binoculars out and and tag one of the gunner emplacements either side of the compound entrance (the one with all the land mines everywhere), if you're not 200m away go back further up the hill and try again. Easy to hit as they are stationary targets.
An easy way early into the game. Please let me know if there's anything that can be added.
After finding Aztec and dealing with the two guys on patrol shortly after, you'll head up on a ridge overlooking a building, with the objective of destroying a jammer. There is a boat patrolling the water, and if you check with the range finder on the binoculars, you'll see that it drifts between 130 and 200+ meters away- depending on where it is on its route. You can use your SCAR or an FY71 (if you've grabbed one) to pick off the boat's gunner from where you enter the area, up on the ridge.
I got this by putting my gun into single-shot mode (), and started shooting towards the nose of the boat, after it had turned and was moving away from me. After seeing a couple shots splash around the boat, the achievement popped from killing either the gunner or driver (it was too far away to tell).
Be warned- this may take a couple tries, as accuracy at this range is clearly not great on either of the guns you may have at this point. I'd assume the other solutions for this are easier, but you don't have to get as far in the game to give this one a shot.
I was doing this in my easy mop up.
At the start of mission 4 "Assault", there will be a house on the left up the hill with a rifle and scope. You'll then jump down the hill when you first see the AAA guns. Follow the road to the right till you see a sniper tower on the left as your walking. Once you've spotted it head over and climb up it and aim in the ocean. There will be a speed boat with 2 targets in it. Use your sniper scope and zoom 10x to see them better. Use the distance meter at the bottom to make sure its at over 200m before you shoot.
Easiest done if you snipe an enemy although you can take out a tank/helicopter with a rocket launcher at a far distance. I did this on Chapter 4: when you are suppose to take out the AA guns, if you have the sniper with the sniper scope from the previous ending of the last chapter (where you fight the Korean nanosuits for the first time) snipe from the ledge before you drop down into the water to get to the AA guns to score this trophy easily. I sniped someone on the boat patrolling the waters. The sniper scope does show the distance you are zoomed in on when you ADS.
