How to unlock the A Long Way Down achievement in Dying Light - Definitive Guide

You can do this very early on in the game, but it is recommended that you have unlocked the safehouse where the character is located in the screenshot below: (The bridge is marked using the waypoint). It will also help to have some Agility upgrades in order to make your way across the bridge more easily, and you should have a medkit available just in case you need it.

Once at the safehouse above, climb up the radio tower and use the bed to fast forward to night time. With the bridge marked on your map using a waypoint, you'll want to come down the tower and go for the bridge. Make sure to stay on high ground so that you don't end up under it. Once on the bridge, just keep running forward until you reach the end and then sprint off to fall into the water below. Make sure to not jump off the sides or you may hit land instead of water. It is best to avoid the volatiles that will show up on your mini-map and you will probably want to use cars and buses on the bridge to stay above the zombie horde and avoid a fight with them. Once you reach the end of the bridge, run off and it will unlock when you hit the water. You will want to swim to shore and head back to a base if you want to keep your survivor points.

another thing you can do, if you're worried about getting beaten up on the way to the bridge at night, is head out to the bridge in the late afternoon and camp on the bus at the right of the bridge that's teetering on the edge. As soon as nightfall comes, jump on the white car and then into the water.

There's a sidequest that actually makes you go to the very top of the bridge at night, and there's a safehouse up top! So you can just sleep up there, finish the quest, and then jump off.

Thanks Maka! I also happen to get Prom Night while doing this. I accidentally got the attention of the very first Volatile and they all chased me the entire way, one med pack later, "Prom Night" & "A Long Way Down" both popped.

It figures you have to just jump from the road. I actually walked all the way up one of the bridge cables to the very tip top (blueprint up there btw) and jumped from there, but did not get the achievement. I guess if there was an achievement called "A Longer Way Down", I would've gotten that.

You can also get this achievement by jumping from the very tippy top of the other side of the bridge. If you climb up to the top near the safehouse, you can zipline over the broken section and land near the medical tents. I was there for a mission when nightfall came. So to escape the volatiles, I used the hookshot... erm, grapple hook to climb to the top and dive into the water.

This is more work, of course, but I thought you had to jump from the top and it didn't unlock from the top of the first side, so I tried it from the other side and it worked. Lol

What I did was when I got the radio message informing me that I only had one hour remaining to find a safe house I started heading for the bridge. Doing this allowed me to get to the edge right before the night came. I had to wait about 2 minutes while standing on a car before it switched over. This saves the hassle of trying to maneuver through the bridge at night.

If you do the first couple missions you will have unlocked a safehouse directly below the bridge where you can swim to after jumping without encountering any volatiles so as to keep your extra survivor points.

After going through the guides for this achievement I noticed that everyone is saying to run across the bridge at night and jump off to get this achievement. I am unsure if location on the bridge matters, but all the achievement says is to jump off the bridge at night into the water. I found climbing up the bridge in the middle during the day and going to sleep up top until night was the easiest. After you wake up at night just jump into the water and the achievement pops.

Yep.......I can't recall Maka having a guide up yet when I wrote this, but his solution is the first one under the solutions and he has it detailed pretty good.

The Infamy Bridge is located on the far east end of the Slums, you will visit it through main/side quests if you do not locate it on your own. For this to unlock properly, you have to go off the end of the bridge where it has broken off, jumping off the sides or from higher up areas, such as where the safe house is located, will NOT work.

Relatively early in the story, you will head to a huge bridge in the northeastern part of the Slums. Once you actually reach the bridge, the best way to safely get onto it during the night is by swimming from either the Ferry pier (North) or the fishing village (South) and climbing up the interior of one of the bridge towers to the bridge deck. Once you reach at least the deck, which at this point would be covered in Volatile, quickly run to the side of the bridge and jump off (obviously make sure you land in the water).

A considerably safer route is to climb onto the bridge however you want while the sun is up, then ascend the exterior of the SW bridge tower until you reach a platform that connects both Western Towers on the bridge (with the Eastern Towers being the ones across the gap in the bridge). Continue climbing the towers until you reach the safe house and then use the sleeping bag to rest until night. Once you’ve done that, head outside and follow the scaffolding around the tower so you are facing out into the ocean, and then jump off.

The video below, courtesy of Maka, shows this being accomplished.

The Infamy Bridge is the huge bridge on the east side of the map, that has been split in the middle. All you need to do is jump down this gap at night and the trophy will unlock. Be warned, there is a ton of infected on the bridge so be careful you don't get swarmed by them. You will also encounter Volatiles on the bridge that are pretty hard to kill at lower levels. The best way to get to the other side of the bridge, is to just jump from car to car, that way you have a better chance at surviving. Once you get to the end of the bridge, simply jump off into the water and the trophy will unlock. Also bear in mind that you will have to survive the fall so try not to five into the rocks below.

For a visual walkthrough, refer to the video below:
