How to unlock the Ghost Kill achievement in Far Cry 5 - Definitive Guide

Buy at any weapon shop you want the 'AR-CL' sniper rifle with the 'Marksman ADV-X Scope'. The range with this scope is 8 of 10. If you have the gold edition from the game equip 'MBP .50' with 'Long Range Scope'. With this combination the Range is on 10/10.

Go to any outpost / location where are enemies located and set a marker to see the distance. (You need 150 meters). Mark an enemy and proof the distance again. Aim directly on the head and shot. If you miss the shot fast travel to a nearby location and come back.

FWIW, I got this while in a helicopter shooting enemies on the ground during the "Friendly Skies" mission, so apparently vehicle weapons are exempt from the bows or rifles description.

I got this at the lumber mill rescuing Jess. If you come in from the research lab side, the doctor who wants you to catch a live judge, you can go through the trees and get to a nice vantage point in the hill. I got this achievement plus the 4 perk point challenge for distance kills here.

I got those when you are trying to stop the mortar person after getting rescued by the reverend. Zipline to the first hut, and identify and snipe - used one of the first weapons in the game to get this. (looks like an AR with a scope)

Playing from GamePass, this is a very simple achievement via normal gameplay, no unlocking issues. Agree with first post, shooting helicopters while in a plane also added to the count

Got it after doing an outpost reset, parachuted from Bradbury Farm to Seed Ranch. Stay zoomed in and look for the first alarm (big green light), should be 2 guys near the base of it. Just a matter of aiming, aimed a bit above them and drifted lower, killed 2 guys, popped it.

Was using the MBP .50 Blood & Dragon with Long Range Scope, giving it a 10 in both Accuracy and Range, and a 2 in Handling.

I got the achievement after I was about 180 meters from the target (in relation to the outpost.) I also found that an enemy on Elk Jaw Lodge outpost (NW from starting area) that will stay still ready to be shot if you miss the first time (seems like a glitch.) https://youtu.be/stg0tEZJctI

I found the best place to obtain this was behind the Lamb of God Church in, the building furthest West in John’s region. As a lot of the outposts didn’t provide a good lookout point over the enemy camp.

After you have done the mission for Grace, there will be a side mission from a woman to the right of the church. Accept this and you will need to clear out enemies down by the river. Follow the path to the left of the Church and go right through the trees instead of down the steps and you will come upto a cliff edge with a perfect view of at least 5 enemies, around 170 metres away.

I used the MPB.50 with the enhanced scope and got it first time here after a few failed attempts at outposts.

Hope this helps.

Just want to confirm this works - like a few others mine had glitched at 94%...and various other attempts didn't work plus I had already done most outposts. Just now I reset outposts and went straight to this spot and it popped. I heard some are having issues from using the special golden Mp50 so I bought and used the standard version with a scope. Job done.

You can use either a bow or rifle to get this achievement, but I'd recommend a rifle. You must get a headshot kill on a cultist from more than 150 meters. If you struggle with ranged sniping, invest in a good scope and silencer. The scope will allow you to zoom in further than the standard rifle scope, and the silencer should help your missed shots go unnoticed. Find some stationary guards and use your binoculars to place a waypoint at their feet. Then position yourself (preferably on higher ground) 150m away. Take aim, hold your breath, and earn that 'chievo.

No DLC: AR-CL w/ Marksman ADV-x Scope (Range - 9)

DLC: MBP .50 w/ Long Range Scope (Range - 10)

- Find an outpost or some straggler enemy then place yourself in the distance, preferably high ground.

- Use your binocs to mark a way point at their feet, it will tell you how far you are from them, then make sure your at least 150m away.

- There's no drop in this game so just aim at his head and take the shot for the cheev

You must have the season pass or the gold edition to obtain the MBP .50 w/ Long Range Scope (Range - 10). This is needed for the achievement/trophy which you must perform a headshot kill with any bow or a sniper rifle on any cultist more than 150m away. Better chances is the sniper rifle. Credit goes to Zasta 360GameTV for finding this useful.

There are several locations where you can get this trophy. First, buy or find a Sniper Rifle and the attachment 'Marksman Adv-x Scope' or 'Long Range Scope' depending on the rifle you have.

I managed to get this trophy when first approaching the Hope County Jail in Faith's Region, you come here as part of the story. There will be several enemies attacking the prison that you can see form a distance, mark them using the binoculars and ensure you are more than 150 metres away from them. Shoot one of them in the head and the trophy will unlock.

There are other locations such as the Sacred Skies Youth Camp outpost in Faith’s Region; see a video below of PowerPyx getting the trophy there. Otherwise, you will have plenty of opportunities to get this.
You can craft recipes by holding when in the weapon wheel to switch to the utility wheel. Here you can craft:
  • Liquor
  • Oregano
  • The Fast
  • The Furious
  • Ultimate Hunter
  • Ultimate Survivor
Make sure to loot bodies of enemies and harvest plants you come across and you will easily have enough ingredients to craft enough of these throughout the game.

Find a group of enemies (preferably a outpost) and mark them on your map, then go to 175 - 225 meters away and then equip a sniper with high accuracy (and a suppressor if you don't want to be detected) I used the Farcry 3 Blood & Dragon sniper, after this you can headshot the enemy.

If you hit the headshot you will get the achivement, if not find another group (or leave and go back to the outpost) and try again.

The best weapon to try this with is the AR-CL and you'll then need to spend $1,600 for the Marksman ADV-X Scope. Once you have both of these, all you need to do is find the perfect spot which has enemies but also a good line of sight.

Once you've located this (video below shows one), put a waypoint marker on the map on the location of the enemies, then head in the direction which suits you best until the waypoint shows 150m+. Now take aim, remembering to hold down to hold your breath and try and get that headshot.

This trophy can be obtained by completing the mission " Peaceful Sky " near Adelaide, after the liberation of " Marina Drabmenov " in the Vera region.

When you reach the observation deck where you need to find her stolen helicopter, there will be a cultist on the mountain opposite in the observation tower.
If you kill him with a headshot from a sniper, this distance will be more than enough.

The SA-50 sniper rifle with a scope works to get the trophy.

Important!

Not from a sniper rifle, but from a rifle (AK, AR).
Sniper scope is not prohibited.

I received this trophy while playing with a partner as follows:
I moved 160 meters from the target
my partner shot point-blank at the target’s head and the trophy fell out 07/24/18
Maybe a bug.

Hello everyone, and yes, I am the person who completed the mission and cannot get the trophy in any way. For there are no hills anywhere, but now I will tell you about the place where this trophy can be obtained.
And so, the region of Vera Sid, the most extreme outpost, we climb the mountain (from the photo), and aim at the sniper on the roof, take a bow, 120 m and a little higher. Shot and bam, the trophy is yours. If it doesn’t work out, you undermine yourself again.
