How to unlock the Big Spender achievement in Far Cry 5 - Definitive Guide
A good strategy if you want to keep your money is to amass $50,000 at once via fishing/hunting/ prepper stashes then save before entering one of the shops, spend all the money at once then quit the game before backing out to stop it from saving (xbox guide button + start + quit ). It must be all spent at once as reloading a save does not stack the money spent.
The achievement will pop and you will keep all your money when you relog in to spend on other things such as clothes/ weapons.
Vehicle shops are indicated by a green icon with a car/helicopter/boat in the middle. This is a lot to spend, so save your money. Fully completing one Region should net you over $50,000. This is by only buying a few attachments for your guns, ammo when you need it, looting/skinning when possible and then selling it on and finally completing all types of missions.
It's recommend that you start with the cheapest vehicles and then make your may up to the more costly options. To reach the $50,000 target, you'll most likely have to buy most cars, ATVs, some trucks, and lorries. Then, it's up to you on what to buy next, but know that boats and/or helicopters are the next cheapest. Also, take note that not all vehicles are unlocked at the start and those at the bottom of the lists are the more expensive options.
As of today (version 1.06), the feature works, you stock up, get a trophy and force close the game without leaving the store. Come back - the cache is in place
You can earn money by turning in trophies obtained from hunting and fishing (a fishing rod can be bought in a store).
For capturing an outpost “quietly” you receive a substantial cash bonus.
