How to unlock the 80s Hero achievement in Far Cry 5 - Definitive Guide

Upon completing the DLC for the first time, this mode along with Survivor mode are unlocked.
In Action movie mode you are allowed to call in air strikes without removing AA guns, you have an extra weapon slot and are able to carry more ammo.

After running from the enemy helicopter,kill the two enemies by the objective with takedowns, same with the next two enemies on the way to the outpost. This gives you all four perks. Clear the outpost however you see fit. I used an airstrike to kill a majority of them and stealth killed the rest. Try to pick up an AK or find one on the way to the extraction point.

Afterwards simply run to the extraction point, avoiding objectives and roads and pressing B to slide if the detection meter appears as this breaks line of sight 9 times out of 10.

After reaching the extraction sight, take out the AA guns with remote explosives (there are some convinently placed next to the AA guns), you cant use airstrikes for this. Feel free to to take out one and the nearby morter to destroy the other. I personally struggled to hit the darn thing.

After clearing the area you are asked to pick up some documents. After picking them up there is a ladder a few meters directly west that leads into a bunker. From here, simply use the infinite airstrikes to take out enemies and your AK to take out the helicopters, aiming for the pilot.

After a short battle you are extracted by a helicopter and operate as a door gunner. Simply rain hellfire on the enemies below and the achievement is yours.

Happy hunting!

I did this in under 15 minutes this way. To speed things up, I'd add to grab a truck near the AA guns, just past Croc Beach and drive the rest of the way. If there isn't one there, try the bunker next to the burnt village. Follow the road. Takes like a minute to reach the LZ.

Also, the ending... generally aim at the fuel cans and ordinance on the ground. You'll destroy the whole village, without precision aim.

Once you have completed Hours of Darkness, you will unlock Action Movie Mode. In the Main Menu, launch the add-on and select this difficulty. Action Movie Mode allows you to carry up to four weapons, additional resources, and call in airstrikes without the need to destroy AA guns.

Much like the "Roguelike" achievement, there is no set way to go about this playthrough. You can take the time to complete every objective and explore the jungle thoroughly now that you have a surplus of resources, or you can just make a beeline sprint to the extraction zone right from the start. It really doesn't matter how go about it, and since this will likely be your second or third playthrough, a speedrun of sorts might be in your interest.

Regardless of how you approach this Rambo-inspired mode, the achievement will unlock once you escape the jungle and the credits begin to roll.

Action mode is unlocked after completing Normal mode, it is a lot easier than survivor mode.

Main differences:
  • Higher player health
  • Enemy detection speed is decreased
  • Can carry a lot more weapons, ammo and general supplies
  • Able to use airstrikes without destroying AA guns
As with Survivor, just make for the extraction zone, ignoring everything else along the way.

This mode will open after the first playthrough. It differs from the main one in an increased supply of everything, an additional slot for weapons, to call aircraft there is no need to first destroy anti-aircraft guns.

We start in the "Action" mode and just carefully take out a Kalash from someone, quietly run to the collection point, marked on the map, find weapons there, plus if you call the missiles from the dispatcher, there is no difficulty in quickly defeating everyone, and flying away having received a trophy, and the same and with the "Survival" mode.
