How to unlock the Mercenary achievement in Far Cry 2 - Definitive Guide

Player matches do not contribute to this achievement; all xp must be won through online ranked matches.

XP required for each rank:


Method 1
Requires 3 players, playing on uprising.
***This method is good for gaining normal kills for maintenance manuals***

Method 2
Requires 4-6 players, playing on deathmatch.
**This method is good for gaining headshot kills for bandoliers**

Method 3
Requires 8-10 players, playing on team deathmatch.
**This method is good for gaining headshot kills for bandoliers**


Remember that the xp cap per game is 1500xp, meaning it is most efficient to end the game or switch round after someone reaches about 1450xp (since you also recieve about 50 "action xp")

If you gain enough xp in a single game to reach rank 20, then you can circumvent the 1500xp cap and unlock this achievement. However, after the game ends you will only go up by 1500xp and not retain rank 20. This can be particularly useful if you intend to de-rank to 0xp then use the negative xp glitch to unlock the rank 30 achievement.



You can get your xp in anyway you like, If you have good method of ranking up then please comment below and I'll add it to the list :)

Before you leave a negative vote, please explain in a comment what I can do to improve the guide. This was the 2nd guide I ever made for True Achievements.

From rank 0, how long would it take to get to level 20 using the kill revive method? My maths is probably off but
250000xp/1500xp = 167 matches (rounding up)
167 / 4 (15mins for a full match, 15 x 4 =1 hour) = 42 hours (rounding up)
Now, that cannot be right????? please tell me its shorter!

hmmm...I've read elsewhere that you can get 1500 in 5 mins, so to revise...
250000xp/1500xp = 167 matches
167 / 12 (5 x 12 = 1 hour) = 14 hours
Tell that this is more correct. Thanks

i have already done atleast 10 hours of boosting for the weapon manuals, and that got me from about rank 8 to 12: just over 20k xp, so using that method it would take approximately 150 hours to get to rank 20 and 750 hours to get to rank 30, so your first estimate would seem closer at a first glance, though my calculations are very rough. Also the method i was using was optimised for headshots and weapon kills in games with about 4 or 5 people, so the xp you get is actually quite slow, using another method in my guide would yield much higher rates, so it is hard to give you an accurate answer without testing it fully.

To get rank 20 you need to gain 250,000 experience points. See the Warlord trophy for more information.

After upgrading all your weapons you will have level 18 ~170000 experience. Next, if there are three of you, then you can quickly reach level 20, namely, choose “rebellion”, the “last bastion” card, swinging in the yellow team, the rest in the red team, everyone runs to the large wooden boxes, they are on the first level near the revival of the red team team, the red captain (they give 30 points for the captain) stands in the corner between the boxes, the second jumps on the box in front of him, the yellow one takes a machete and cuts the captain, the captain is cured and cut again, so until 1300, then you capture points and kill the captain, when you exit game experience gained in excess of 1500 per round is cut. When you have as much experience left as you can definitely get at one time (without leaving the game), you can play entire rounds (you can gain up to 10,000 experience per round) until you reach level 20, the main thing is to recreate the lobby every three rounds, the next time you log in Of course, the game experience will be cut, but you will already have a trophy, then you can reach level thirty with the help of a bug.
