How to unlock the Defender achievement in Far Cry 4 - Definitive Guide

in a random way, after you conquer an outpost, Pagan will send a few bad guys to try to conquer the outpost back.
It's unuseful to wait near the outpost, because it's random and you can wait a lot for nothing.
Since outpost are also quick travel point, once or another going away from the outpost you'll be advised to run back and kill all the bad guys.

Actually you don't have to kill them all, just a few (I never failed on this): after a certain number of foes in the dust the survivors will retire and after 3 times you'll unlock the achievo.


UPDATE (thanks to lxl Linc lxl)
This is also missable if you liberate the fortresses before getting 3


UPDATE 2 (thanks to xDeMiZEx86 )
If you conquered all the outpost and all the fortress, you can still reset them all even if you're in the post-game

If I were to only liberate 2 fortresses, and not all 4, will I still be safe?

An alternative if you conquer all fortresses is to reset your outposts and fortresses by going to the 'Gameplay (Campaign)' and at the bottom there is an option to reset outposts which also resets all fortresses.

I've liberated 2 fortresses, but I'm positive it's still obtainable without resetting. I remember reading the retaliation parties are by region, so when I get near Pagan and Yuma's areas, I should be able to finish it there.

You're absolute right: you just have to avoid liberating the 4 fortress.
Try travelling to the liberated outpost near the Yuma's one.
In my playthrough I've been attacked almost 10 times before finishing the main quest.

If you have only liberated one outpost in the south or north, you can fast travel to that outpost every 10 minutes or so, then leave the area which should trigger the invasion.

Since it is the only outpost you have, the game will always pick that one.

Once you've captured an outpost, enemy troops will periodically attempt to reclaim it until you've captured the fortress in the area.

This normally seems to trigger when you are near an outpost that you've liberated (200-400m away or so) but not actually inside it. You'll be told it's under attack, then you need to head back and take out enough of the enemy troops to repel the attack. You'll know when this happens because the enemy will generally start yelling 'retreat'.

Repeat this x3 and you're done.

Note, this is potentially missable, if you capture all 4 fortresses before you've won this trophy then no more retaliation parties and you've probably wrecked your chances.

In order to earn this trophy, you must protect an outpost that you've liberated from enemies that attack it. For more information on how to liberate an outpost, refer to All Clear for more details. You must protect your outposts 3 times.

Enemies attacking your Outposts will be at random, however, there is a way to increase your chances of getting attacked. Liberate as many outposts as you can. Also fast travel to an Outpost from your map on the menu. It seems that whichever outpost you've fast travelled from, is most likely the outpost that will be under attack so keep fast travelling to different outposts until you get attacked. Also bear in mind that you will need to leave the Outpost a certain amount of yards until you're attacked. You will not be attacked if you're near an Outpost, so walk/drive away a fair bit until you get attacked. You will know when an outpost is being attacked, as you'll get a notification saying: "The nearest Outpost is under attack". When you see this, immediately turn around and head back to the outpost. You will also see a yellow waypoint so you'll know which outpost is being attacked. You will not be able to fast travel to the outpost so make your way back manually. When you reach the Outpost, enemies will ambush the area. Kill every enemy until you complete the retaliation attack.

Also bear in mind that liberating a fortress will cause enemies to stop attacking your liberated outposts in the area for the conquered fortress, so do not conquer all 4 fortresses until you meet the requirements for this trophy. If you've conquered all 4 fortresses, do not worry, as you can reset all you that outposts/fortresses from the menu under Gameplay (Campaign), there is an option to "Reset Outposts". This can only be unlocked if you've liberated all 24 outposts however. Not only that but you'll have to liberate a fair amount of outposts all over again to better your chances of getting attacked, therefore it's highly recommended you save at least one Fortress until you earn this trophy. After you get the trophy, you can just ignore any of these quests that appear so just drive away and it will eventually disappear. It will not effect the outpost, or karma.

From time to time, Ming's punitive detachments will be sent to the outposts you have captured. What they will warn you about is that a punitive detachment is moving to the outpost.

Repel 3 such attacks and the trophy is yours.

There is one point - outposts are attacked only if the nearest fortress has not yet been captured by you. Accordingly, when all the fortresses are captured, there will be no more attacks.

This is exactly what happened to me. Fortunately, in the settings there is an option to reset all outposts and fortresses.

I found a bug, double-checked it, and it works. I checked only at the outpost indicated in the video.

After capturing this outpost, we wait for the first attack on it, then follow the steps in the video.

For defending an outpost you are given 800 experience points + 100 karma points, plus for killing enemies in a variety of ways.

If you don't have enough ammunition, you can go to the store at the outpost after clearing one of the waves of attackers.

As outposts are liberated, small secondary tasks will arise to protect already captured bases. On the map, the yellow symbol above the liberated outpost, meaning the ability to quickly move, turns red. This is a signal that the outpost was attacked by a punitive detachment. You are also informed about the attack by radio.

There is no need to worry about the achievement; by that time I had liberated only 6-7 outposts in total. Quite often you will be invited to defend. Current statistics on repulsed attacks of punitive squads can be viewed in the menu during the game, in the “progress” section (at the very bottom.)
