How to unlock the Needle Exchange achievement in Far Cry 3 - Definitive Guide

This is a pretty easy achievement to get. I would just recommend making the health syringe which only takes one green leaf to make. To get this even faster you can get the tattoo which allows you to get two leaves per plant. You'll probably just get this over time so no worries.

Assuming you want to grind this out and have progressed past 'Harvest the Jungle' you can go to X 445.6 Y 728.9 and find about 5-6 plants mostly green -this is just southeast of Amanaki Town in the beginning of the game. There is also a small hill you can run off of to hurt yourself slightly. -If you need to refresh them save and quit and reload the game -THIS WILL spawn you back at Amanaki with the plants having respawned.

Side info: Syringes have a variety of effects from healing you and pacifying/calming timid animals to letting you breathe for an extended amount of time.

You can first craft syringes in the beginning of the game after the Harvest the Jungle quest.
This is a beneficial syringe to become aquainted that will heal you using the cn_Y button. It requires One green leaf.

However you cannot spam/use them if you are not injured. The easiest way to injure yourself is by using a vehicle and ramming into a tree and reversing and repeating the process as necessary SAVE FIRST. Alternatively you can repeatedly step into a small body of fire such as a lit trash can like those that are sometimes in Outposts.

Other options open up for recipes as you do more quests such as Hunters Instinct and Animal Repellent which require Amber leaves (a LOT more common) and you CAN stack/spam these ones by hitting cn_start and Navigating to Crafting>'Hunting' (under syringes).

The easiest way to do this is simply collect 25 green plants and craft a healing syringe. Use them and create more until you earn the trophy.

Crafting syringes requires plants. These are scattered all over the islands, and are impossible to miss. The best and easiest ones to craft are the Medicine as they only require 1 Green plant. If you have anything else to hand that can be crafted into any other type of syringe, then you might as well use it.

Overall, this achievement will come naturally as you progress through the game. A good boosting tactic is to stock up on Green plants and find a predator animal. Let it attack you, then press and hold to heal yourself. Keep doing this and when you run out, go craft some more and then repeat the process.

Syringes can be crafted by accessing the "Craft" section in the pause menu. Plants are needed to make the final product. Plants grow everywhere in the wilderness and are displayed on the HUD when you are close to them. The most common syringes are Medicine (2 x green leaf), Animal Repellent (2 x yellow leaf) and Enhanced Perception (x2 crimson leaf). There's also a skill called "Horticulture 101" that allows you to harvest two leaves from each plant instead of just one.
